I Can Give Talent

Everyone who was looking at the tragedy in front of them didn't utter a single word until a few minutes later.

"How could this happen?" Said one of the Mountain Dew Sect's elders.

"They probably offended a very strong cultivator. For someone to be able to do this, that expert must be at least a Soul Transformation realm cultivator!" Replied Gunung, the sect leader of the Mountain Dew Sect.

"What? But sect leader, a Soul Formation realm cultivator could achieve this level of destruction too. Why do you think it was the Soul Transformation realm expert?" The one asking was the Law and Order Hall leader of the Mountain Dew Sect, Elder Bobori.

As, the sect leader, I knew a bit more about the history of the Mystical Array Valley. Long ago, there used to be a Soul Formation realm cultivator in their sect. This genius managed to design a new protection formation for the Mystical Array Valley. This formation can block attacks from a peak Soul Formation realm cultivator!"

"No wonder.." The rest of the people now understood why sect leader Gunung said it was at least a Soul Transformation realm expert.

"Let's go back!" Gunung sighed. Just like that, a sect that has been here for so long vanished without a trace. Not wanting to offend the expert who did this, he did not dare to stay here much longer.

The group of people from the Mountain Dew Sect and the South Armament Sect flew back to their respective sects with a gloomy atmosphere. Their heart was still shocked by what happened.

Right now, their three sects have declined by a lot, there wasn't even a Nascent Soul realm cultivator in their sect, how was it possible that the Mystical Array Valley managed to offend a mighty being at the Soul Transformation realm?

...

Meanwhile, Leyvi and Anda were done playing in bed and were now busy counting Leyvi's harvest from the Triad Forest.

Leyvi took out all of the spirit herbs, the flowers, the honey, the berries, and even the headless demonic boar.

Anda was very excited to see all of the alchemy ingredients right in front of her. What surprised her the most was the amount of spirit herbs. There were over 5000 mushroom spirit herbs.

Even though most of these mushroom spirit herbs are poisonous, it was not a problem for an alchemist to refine them.

"All of these grew on the trees?" Anda asked. She would most likely not think about climbing the trees too when searching for spirit herbs.

"Right, next time I'll bring you along and teach you how to climb a tree like a pro! We can look for more spirit herbs," Leyvi suggested like a child.

"Hehe... Leyvi, there's no point looking for spirit herbs anymore," Anda giggled.

"Huh? Why?" Leyvi didn't get it.

"Look at this! This is more than enough for us to consume until we reach the Foundation Building realm. We might even have a lot of extra. If it was back then when I could only refine low-grade qi refining pills, we might not have enough but now it's different." Anda explained while pointing at the mountain of spirit herbs.

Leyvi showed a disappointed face. He wanted to see this panda girl climb a tree like a real panda.

"Why do you make that face? You wanted me to climb a tree like a panda huh?" Anda stood up and put her hands on her waist. It was her usual dissatisfied pose.

"What the..how do you read my mind?" Did she have a mind-reading talent too? Leyvi slowly backed away.

"Hmph, do you think I need to read your mind to know what you think?" Anda approached Leyvi like someone with bad intentions.

"You want to see a panda, I'll show you a panda!" Anda pounced at Leyvi and started to bite his shoulder jokingly.

"Argh! Help! It's a panda attack!"

After a while, the couple's weird roleplay ended and they continued counting the harvest.

"Later, I can refine a few kinds of products from all of these ingredients. Qi Replenishing pills, Fasting pills, Minor Healing Elixir, and Common Antidote pills. All of these pills can be useful next time you go out," Leyvi already knew this basic stuff but he still listened attentively.

Anda continued and explained that there are a few parts of the demonic boar that can be made into alchemy products, such as the demonic beast fat can be made into a healing ointment, and the heart of the demonic boar can be refined into Meridian Boost pill.

While explaining to Leyvi, Anda used the sharp qi to dissect the demonic boar into parts, and at the end, she carefully took out the demonic core of the demonic boar. It was red, which was equivalent to the Qi Refining realm of the cultivators.

Leyvi's eye glinted when he heard she could refine the Meridian Boost pills. This is good for his combat strength. This pill can enhance his meridian and allow him to exert more power on his fiery legs. It will be more destructive than before!

While holding the demonic core, "The most important part is this demonic core, it has the highest concentration of spiritual energy which means it can be used as the main ingredient for the Foundation Building pills."

 "Really? Hahaha. Now our foundation building future is secured." Leyvi let out a hearty laugh. 

Anda smiled sweetly, "We might not even need the Foundation Building pills you know? If the qi in our dantian is pure enough, this won't be necessary. However, we still need to prepare some just in case."

Leyvi nodded in agreement.

The next day, the sect leader Gunung and his party returned to the Mountain Dew Sect. Gunung disabled the Great Barrier formation and announced that the Mystical Array Valley was exterminated by an expert. He advised the disciples not to go near the Mystical Array Valley for the time being.

This announcement caused an uproar within the sect!

Mystical Array Valley was exterminated? By Who? Why? Are they in danger too? All sorts of questions were asked by the people in the sect. In the end, they can only speculate without having the answers.

The sect leader also sternly warned them to be more humble outside the sect and not act too arrogant or they could share the same fate as the Mystical Array Valley.

The cultivators who always acted arrogant were now sweating and became timid after they heard the news.

Leyvi and Anda were listening too and were quite shocked especially Leyvi. He was quite near the Mystical Array Valley previously. Thank goodness he didn't go further and get caught in the destruction or he would not be able to hug his panda wife anymore.

"Mystical Array Valley is gone. Does that mean nobody will know that I stole the peaches from them?" Leyvi was relieved. Although he sympathizes with the fate of the Mystical Arral Valley, his life is far more important. 

...

 Unbeknownst to Leyvi, the destruction of the Mystical Array Valley was closely related to him. The red-robed peach tree owner had come from somewhere far away and re-planted the peach tree there because he wanted to grow it secretly and harvest the peaches.

This place was very far from where he came from and also very weak. None in the continent would be able to receive a slash from him. They would disintegrate right away. The formation that he set up was more than enough to kill anyone who tried to get near the peach tree, let alone steal the peaches.

Not fearing anyone from here could steal it, he guarded the path that led to the place he was from. Only someone from there could disturb his plan.

Unfortunately for him, at the time the peaches were just ripe, all of them were gone without a trace. He was planning to go there a day later, but the formation he set up notified him that the vitality of the peach tree was going away.

How could he not be angry? When he arrived the tree had wilted and there were no more peaches. How could this happen? The formation was undisturbed. Nothing indicates that it has been intruded. How?

Many people have stumbled upon this place previously, but none of them can do anything. They came again bringing reinforcement but they still could not do anything. It had been like this for hundreds of years.

He was confident. That was why he just guarded the path. Now that his efforts had been wasted, his treasures were gone, and he could only vent his anger.

The only possible explanation was that the Mystical Array Valley managed to find a way to bypass his formation after hundreds of years of research and they took all the peaches. 

And so, The red-robed peach tree owner went to the Mystical Array Valley. He confronted them about the peaches but none of them said they knew anything. He soul-searched every important person in the Mystical Array Valley and they were indeed researching how to bypass his formation but none succeeded yet.

He didn't believe this. There must be someone who succeeded secretly, stole his peaches, and ran away somewhere to hide. He must find the culprit and torture them!

Before he leaves, the red-robed man draws out his sword and slashes the valley to vent his anger. He can't do any more damage than this or the continent's guardian might be alerted.

The red-robed peach tree owner left.
