Villain: After Truncating the Heroine, the Protagonist Collapses

344: Planting flowers in the forbidden area will double your strength!”Senior Brother, I will definitely fight alongside Junior Brother.”

”Junior Brother, what do you say?”

Yang Yucheng said.

”This!”

Lin Fan hesitated, then slowly made a decision, ”Then I’ll leave it to Senior Brother.”

Lin Fan thought it over and over, and indeed couldn’t think of any reason for Yang Yucheng to harm him.

The Mysterious Expert also had nothing to say when he saw this.

Yang Yucheng’s approach indeed took on half of both the risks and the benefits, appearing very fair.

But from another perspective, Yang Yucheng not only had the combat power of the Spirit Venerable Realm, but also had a guard with Late Stage Spirit Venerable combat power beside him; these two combined.

Who would win or lose seemed to be an unknown, but generally, it could indeed be considered fair.

Thus, Lin Fan and the Mysterious Old Man made an agreement.

The two entered the Forbidden Ground.

After entering, Lin Fan’s Luck was indeed immense, and he advanced unimpeded.

He soon arrived in front of a stone gate.

The stone gate was grand and magnificent, surrounded by towering peaks; looking around, although there was no sign of human habitation, the wild, ancient architecture before them was enough to make their hearts pound.

”What exactly is inside?” Yang Yucheng asked.

Lin Fan, beside him, shook his head, indicating he didn’t know either.

Yang Yucheng took a step back.

Lin Fan’s forehead was covered in black lines, ”Senior Brother Yang Yucheng, is that really necessary?”

Lin Fan said with a wry smile.

Yang Yucheng nodded.

”Of course it’s necessary!”

”You know I’m a famous Child of Destiny, and I, your Senior Brother, am a person of reversed fate, so I really don’t dare to take another step forward, in case there’s any danger.”

”Senior Brother, I could really die.”

Seeing Yang Yucheng speak to this extent, Lin Fan was utterly speechless.

He sighed and could only continue forward.

The Mysterious Expert’s phantom floated beside Yang Yucheng and spoke.

”That day, why didn’t you kill my foolish Disciple and take my bone ring? You should have known my identity, even if you didn’t before.”

”Now, seeing my Disciple’s Grade A Spirit Body, you should pretty much understand, shouldn’t you?”

There were some things the Mysterious Expert didn’t ask, not because he didn’t want to, but because it wasn’t a good time.

He might not have been able to bear the subsequent consequences.

But now, perhaps, the time had come.

”Is Senior referring to the matter of you being Supreme Yan from the ancient era?”

Yang Yucheng’s tone was calm, and he casually revealed the great secret in the Mysterious Expert’s heart.

”You really knew!”

The Mysterious Expert spoke directly, asking in a deep voice, ”Since you know my identity, you should understand that you could leverage this identity to demand many things from me.”

”And there was the Heavenly Soul Sect before, you actually could have completely—”

Before the Mysterious Expert could finish his sentence, Yang Yucheng waved his hand, interrupting him.

”Senior, how could this Junior be such a person? And how could I do such a thing?”

Yang Yucheng asked two rhetorical questions in a row.

But the Mysterious Expert, though silent, looked at Yang Yucheng as if that was exactly what he was capable of.

Yang Yucheng coughed a few times, feeling a bit awkward.

Was his character so obvious?

Yang Yucheng could only explain.

”Some things are not necessary. Even if I forced those secrets out of you, Senior, how many of them would there be?”

”After so many years, how much use could the secrets in Senior’s mind still have?”

”Times move forward, and the tides surge ahead.”

”Today’s cultivation methods may not necessarily be inferior to those of ancient times.”

Yang Yucheng said.

The Mysterious Expert’s brows furrowed slightly in thought, as if pondering the angle and the truthfulness of the words, ”Moreover, at that time, I might not have been able to do anything to you, Senior.”

”If I had told my Revered Master your identity, I’m afraid he would have kept it all for himself, and there would have been no share for me, his Disciple.”

”So, that was the best choice at the time.”

The Mysterious Expert seemed even more satisfied with Yang Yucheng’s answer.

Because that was exactly the kind of thing Yang Yucheng would do.

While the two of them were conversing.

The stone gate in front of them, bang, bang, bang!!!

Was finally pushed open by Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn’t use much strength; the stone gate seemed to respond to his Qi and opened on its own.

Seeing this scene, Yang Yucheng muttered to himself.

”See? This is the capability of my good Junior Brother.”

”It’s my Disciple’s ability, that’s right.”

The Mysterious Expert rolled his eyes in annoyance.

”Both are right, both are right.”

Yang Yucheng nodded silently.

Then, they continued forward and soon entered.

Inside the stone gate, the surroundings were barren, with perhaps a few gardens protected by Formations, but most of the Spirit Medicine inside had lost its effectiveness.

Seeing this situation, Yang Yucheng frowned.

”Is this all the Opportunity in the Forbidden Ground?”

Suddenly, a timid voice from beside them began to speak, ”Are you two the men of destiny for this time?”

When this voice sounded, Yang Yucheng felt truly apologetic.

It seemed he had once again snatched this Junior Brother’s Opportunity.

Lin Fan also seemed to finally realize this, but he took it in stride.

”Then come with us.”

”First, you must plant flowers.”

When these two words came out, Yang Yucheng was a little surprised.

Lin Fan had already picked up a hoe and began to cultivate the wasteland.

”Then let’s plant flowers!”

Yang Yucheng agreed with a wry smile.

The flowers they were planting seemed to be more than just simple flowers; they were their Aptitude.

A glance revealed many vibrant flowers already blooming, though their specific species remained unknown.

Yang Yucheng also picked up a hoe and began to create.

A small pit formed in the ground before him, and seeds quickly entered it, sprouting into small seedlings.

Slowly.

Before Yang Yucheng, a black rose bloomed.

At least, the shape was somewhat similar.

As for Lin Fan, a night-blooming cereus, a ’solitary orchid of the empty valley,’ bloomed before him, which had a rather inauspicious meaning.

”A fleeting moment” best represented its profound meaning.

”You two, qualified!”

The Little girl smiled gently and nodded.

”Is that all?”

Yang Yucheng’s expression was full of surprise.

Immediately.

Before he could react, the two were already teleported out.

In the blink of an eye, the Qi on their bodies had subtly doubled, as if the flower from before was their other clone.

And now, having bloomed and borne fruit, their strength had each increased.

Yang Yucheng directly Broke through from the Spirit Venerable Realm to the Middle Stage of the Spirit Venerable Realm, seemingly not far from the Late Stage.
