Chapter 151 The Trial of the Spirit Plant Garden in the New Journey of Foundation Building
After successfully breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhang Peng exuded a unique aura. He appeared more composed and reserved, and the light in his eyes revealed a deeper desire to explore the path of cultivation.
"Zhang Peng, your breakthrough must have greatly increased your strength. What are your plans for the future?" Li Ming looked at him expectantly, playing with his longsword, seemingly eager to spar with Zhang Peng and feel the power he had gained after his breakthrough.
Zhang Peng tilted his head slightly, looking towards the Spirit Plant Garden of Qingfeng Sect. That was where the sect cultivated rare spiritual plants, and it was also a trial ground to test disciples' control over spiritual power. "I plan to go to the Spirit Plant Garden to train and consolidate my Foundation Establishment stage cultivation. I also want to try to use spiritual power more precisely."
Lin Wan'er walked gently to his side, her eyes full of concern: "I'll go with you. Some of the spiritual plants in the Spirit Plant Garden are not easy to deal with. It's good to have someone with you to help out."
Upon hearing this, Li Ming quickly stepped forward and said, "Count me in. I also want to see just how strong Zhang Peng's Foundation Establishment stage strength really is." Su Yao, Liu Ruyan, and Shen Yue also expressed their desire to go together. Filled with anticipation and excitement, the group headed towards the Spirit Plant Garden.
The Spirit Plant Garden was shrouded in a faint spiritual energy barrier, protecting the precious spiritual plants within. As Zhang Peng and his companions entered the garden, a rich spiritual energy enveloped them. Various exotic flowers and rare herbs bloomed in profusion, radiating a captivating glow. However, these beautiful spiritual plants were not without their dangers.
Shortly after they entered, a gigantic carnivorous plant suddenly emerged from the ground. Its petals were as sharp as serrated edges, and its stamens emitted a nauseating stench, attempting to bewitch everyone's minds. Upon seeing this, Li Ming immediately brandished his longsword, unleashing a sharp sword aura towards the carnivorous plant.
"Be careful, this man-eating flower's defense is not simple!" Zhang Peng shouted. He circulated his Foundation Establishment stage spiritual power, and the power of the five elements gathered in his hand, transforming into a giant earthen hand, which suddenly grabbed the root of the man-eating flower, trying to restrict its movement.
Lin Wan'er summoned wood-elemental spiritual power, and countless vines surged from her hands, intertwining with the petals of the man-eating flower. Su Yao cast an ice spell, freezing the surrounding air in an attempt to slow down the man-eating flower's attack. Liu Ruyan and Shen Yue also cast spells to provide support for everyone.
Under the combined attack of everyone, the man-eating flower gradually became unable to resist. Its petals began to wither, and it eventually collapsed to the ground, turning into a pool of green liquid.
After dealing with the man-eating flowers, the group continued deeper into the spirit plant garden. Suddenly, a mist appeared ahead, with faint lights flickering within. Zhang Peng and the others cautiously entered the mist and discovered a rare spirit plant called "Phantom Spirit Grass" growing inside. This spirit grass could release powerful illusions, interfering with one's mind.
As soon as they approached, Zhang Peng felt a powerful mental shock wash over him. He concentrated his mind, circulated his spiritual energy, and formed a barrier in his mind to resist the phantom's attack. Li Ming and the others also used their own methods to try to resist the phantom's interference.
"Everyone be careful, don't be fooled by the illusion!" Zhang Peng shouted. He carefully observed the shape of the illusionary spirit herb and discovered a weakness at its root. He concentrated his spiritual power, condensed a spiritual energy arrow, and shot it towards the root of the illusionary spirit herb.
The spirit arrow struck the root of the Phantom Spirit Grass, causing it to tremble and gradually weaken its phantom power. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the group launched an attack and ultimately subdued the Phantom Spirit Grass.
As Zhang Peng ventured deeper into the Spirit Plant Garden, his control over Foundation Establishment stage spiritual power became increasingly proficient. He was able to utilize the five elements of spiritual power, the power of thunder, the power of time, and the power of life more freely, and his cooperation with his partners became more seamless.
However, just as they were about to leave the Spirit Plant Garden, an ancient spirit beast that guarded the garden suddenly appeared. This spirit beast was the shape of a lion, its entire body covered with golden scales, its eyes gleaming with wisdom, and it continuously spewed out blazing flames from its mouth.
"This is the Flame Golden Lion guarding the Spirit Plant Garden. It's very powerful, everyone be careful!" Zhang Peng's expression was solemn. He quickly mobilized the power of the four divine artifacts, fusing them with his Foundation Establishment stage spiritual power, preparing to face this difficult battle.
