Chapter 87 Taking Lotus Seeds
After making a plan in mind, Zhang Qian collected the black-clothed man's golden elixir, took the three heavenly demons back into the Heavenly Demon Pagoda, gave Han Ming detailed instructions for a while, then moved and walked into the depths of the mirage fog along the previous route.

“I didn’t expect that I would encounter so much trouble when I came to Mirage Dragon Lake to pick the magic lotus roots!”

Looking at the extremely hidden valley in front of him, Zhang Qian frowned slightly. The valley was shrouded in heavy mirage fog, and the entire valley was covered by a strange formation. Zhang Qian tried to shoot a blood-red sword energy towards the formation, but unexpectedly, the sword energy directly sank into the formation and disappeared without causing any fluctuations.

brush!
Zhang Qian took the jade slip given by his senior sister and threw it. After the jade slip hit the valley formation, it mysteriously turned into a crystal talisman. The talisman seemed real and illusory, and disappeared into the formation in an instant.

Not long after the talisman disappeared, the entire valley suddenly shook, and an illusory portal appeared in front of Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian's eyes rolled and he stepped into the portal.

"This is?"

The scene behind the portal shocked Zhang Qian. In front of him was a huge valley that was ten miles wide and had no end in sight. In this valley, there were countless magic-refining lotus roots everywhere.

The pure white and crystal clear divine lotus flowers are in full bloom, emitting bursts of refreshing fragrance. In addition to these lotus flowers, there are many larger lotus pods.

These lotus pods are the target of Zhang Qian's trip.

"I didn't expect that my senior sister also had some small ideas. There are so many magic-refining lotus roots in this valley, enough to supply the entire Sword Gourd Palace, but my senior sister sealed them up and usually only transplanted some of them on the Magic Refining Island."

If everyone in Jianhu Palace knew that there were so many magic-refining lotus roots in this valley, these rare treasures would definitely be worthless. It can be said that Li Qingque did have some little calculations.

With a slight smile, Zhang Qian flew up, and a cocoon-like object appeared in his hand, which was the Guanghan Sky Net.

brush!
With the activation of true Qi, the Guanghan Sky Net instantly transformed into a huge net, covering the Demon Refining Lotus Root below.

Zhang Qian used his incomparably powerful mind to control this treasure. The giant net extended silk-like threads, which spread in all directions, cutting off the lotus pods and rolling them into the net.

Half an hour later, the Guanghan Tianluo Net was already full of lotus pods. Zhang Qian suddenly curled his lips, landed on the ground, reached out to take a lotus pod, spread it out with force, and a dozen white jade-like lotus seeds appeared in his hand.

Zhang Qian swallowed the lotus seeds and chewed them for a while. He immediately felt the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, and a strange purifying force spread throughout his body.

"what!"

After eating a lot of lotus seeds in succession, Zhang Qian was delighted to find that his blood had been purified a little bit. Not only that, but even his mind became lighter, and some of his doubts about spiritual practice were inexplicably answered.

"I see!"

Seeing that the lotus seeds from the Demonic Lotus Root had such miraculous uses, Zhang Qian was no longer polite. He simply sat cross-legged and spent more than an hour eating all the lotus seeds in the Guanghan Heavenly Net.

Zhang Qian didn't stop until he burped. Then he used the Guanghan Sky Net to collect another net of lotus seeds and left with a smile.

After leaving the formation, Zhang Qian's mind moved, and an illusory talisman flew out from the formation, turning into a jade slip and returning to Zhang Qian's hand.

"It's time to go back!"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Qian did not stay long. He controlled the divine wind and soared into the sky.

Just a few hours later, Zhang Qian returned to the Sword Gourd Palace Demon Refining Island.

At this moment, the Demon Refining Array still covered the entire Demon Refining Island. Many disciples from the other three islands were already gathering information around the Demon Refining Island. The sudden activation of the Demon Refining Island Array left many people confused.

Zhang Qian was about to use his own badge to pass through the Demon Refining Island formation, but unexpectedly, an old man with white hair and beard flew over with a worried look on his face. "Excuse me, is this guy Zhang Qian, the deputy islander of Demon Refining Island?"

Zhang Qian took a quick look and was shocked to find that this old man's cultivation level was actually on par with that of his senior sister!
After paying his respects, Zhang Qian replied, "It is me. Who are you, senior? What can I teach you?"

"I am Jiang Heng, why did your Demon Refining Island formation suddenly open? My two young ladies are visiting your Demon Refining Island. I have been waiting for them but they have not returned. Can I go into the Demon Refining Island with you?"

Zhang Qian's heart sank, knowing that the young ladies this unfathomable old man was talking about must be Jiang Muxian and Jiang Muyao.

"This old man's cultivation is comparable to that of my senior sister. He is also a great master who has cultivated a Dharma image. He is actually the protector of Jiang Muxian and Jiang Muyao! I never thought that these two little princesses are so important. The Taikang Dynasty is indeed extraordinary and has a terrifying foundation!"

Thinking that he had offended the two princesses of the Taikang Dynasty, Zhang Qian smiled slightly: "Don't worry, senior. I had to open the magic refining formation on the magic refining island this time. The assassin from the Huangquan Demon Sect sneaked into the magic refining island a few days ago. My sister opened the magic refining formation this time just to find the loopholes in the formation on the island. Your young lady must be fine at the moment. Just wait for a while. Once my sister withdraws the magic refining formation, she will naturally go back."

"This……"

Without waiting for the old man to say anything, Zhang Qian took a step forward, passed through the Demon Refining Array and returned to the Demon Refining Island.

Frowning as he looked at the spiritual field that had been mostly cultivated, Zhang Qian then turned to see Jiang Muxian and Jiang Muyao sitting beside the field in an ungraceful manner. The two princesses' cultivation was sealed, and they usually lived a life of luxury, so they had never worked hard. At this moment, Jiang Muyao looked at the small blisters on the palm of her hand that were blocking her mouth, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Jiang Muxian tried to comfort him softly, but in her heart she cursed Zhang Qian to death.

"Sister! It's that damn bastard!"

Seeing Zhang Qian flying in the air, Jiang Muyao immediately stood up, gritting his teeth.

"Your Highnesses, please don't be lazy, hahahahaha!"

Seeing Jiang Muyao gritting her teeth, Zhang Qian suddenly found it funny, and he made a joke and left with a laugh. Jiang Muyao was so angry that she stamped her feet.

"Sister..., why hasn't Uncle Jiang Heng come yet? I..."

Jiang Muxian sighed and shook his head slightly.

Zhang Qian flew directly to his senior sister's residence and greeted Yu Xuanji. Before he could say anything, Li Qingque frowned and shouted, "You have murderous aura, but did you encounter trouble in Mirage Dragon Lake?"

Zhang Qian handed the lotus seeds in the Guanghan Tianluo Net to Yu Xuanji and smiled: "Senior sister, you have a good eye. I did encounter a lot of trouble when I went to Shenlongze this time. I almost died there."

"What's going on? The monsters in Mirage Dragon Lake are at most at the True Essence level. With your methods, there should be no danger."

Zhang Qian glanced at Yu Xuanji, who smiled gently and stepped back knowingly.

"Senior Sister, do you still remember the assassin who broke into my Demon Refining Island a few days ago?"

Li Qingque's face changed: "You mean..."

Zhang Qian flipped his hand and took out the golden elixir from the man in black.

"It was this man who targeted me in Mirage Dragon Lake. I almost couldn't come back. Fortunately, I still had some tricks up my sleeve and it took a lot of effort to kill him."

Li Qingque stood up suddenly, took out the golden elixir and looked at it, and said in shock: "You mean, you killed a golden elixir master?"
