They carefully observe the state of each elixir and make appropriate adjustments as needed.

The sun was sinking in the west, and the sunset reflected half of the sky. Zhao Qi stood at the highest point of the park, overlooking the land he had worked so.

The elixirs looked particularly energetic against the backdrop of the setting sun, as if they were showing Zhao Qi their growth.

"The day went by so fast." Zhao Qi said with emotion, "But seeing the elixirs thrive, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it." ”

Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan walked over and patted Zhao Qi's shoulder: "Don't worry, with us here, there will definitely be no problems with these elixirs." ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of anticipation and confidence for the future.

In the Tianyangmen Plantation, there is a vibrant scene.

Under Zhao Qi's careful care, the elixirs were like being nourished by the elixir of fairy dew, and they grew vigorously one by one, and a faint brilliance was faintly revealed among the green leaves, which was a sign of the gradual enhancement of the medicinal effect.

In the corner of the plantation, there is a clearing surrounded by emerald green elixirs, which is Zhao Qi's peaceful place.

Every sunset, Zhao Qi would end his day's work and come here to meditate and feel the aura of nature.

On this day, the sunset was like blood, and the sunset reflected on the elixir leaves, shining with layers of golden light.

Zhao Qi sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, and his breathing was slow and deep. His mind gradually sank into tranquility, as if he was one with the elixir and nature around him.

At this moment, Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan came over with a smile. "Zhao Qi, you're cultivating too seriously, we're too embarrassed to disturb you." Yi Wuxiao teased.

Zhao Qi slowly opened his eyes and showed a smile: "You guys are here." In fact, this is not only a place for me to practice, but also a peaceful place for me to find inspiration and relax. ”

"It's really relaxing to see you like this." Zhang Youyuan looked around, "This elixir garden is well maintained by you, and even the air is filled with a fresh aura. ”

"yes, every time I come here, I feel a sense of seclusion."

Zhao Qi said with emotion, "Here, I can let go of all my worries and distractions and concentrate on cultivation. ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and Yi Wuxiao suddenly proposed: "Since this is your peaceful place, then we might as well cultivate here together." With you by our side, we're sure to be able to progress faster. ”

Zhao Qi thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "It's okay, let's cultivate together, supervise each other, and make progress together." ”

So, the three of them sat cross-legged in the open space surrounded by elixirs and began to cultivate.

Zhao Qi carefully guided Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan's cultivation methods, answering the doubts in their hearts. The atmosphere between the three of them was harmonious and harmonious, as if time had stood still at this moment.

After the cultivation was over, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and they all felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.

The night was inky, the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and the occasional chirping of night birds in the woods around the plantation added to the mystery and silence.

However, beneath this calm exterior, there is an undercurrent.

After the fame of the Tianyangmen plantation spread, those sects that had always been opposed to Tianyangmen began to move.

They coveted the precious elixirs of the plantations and wanted to keep them for themselves. Thus, a conspiracy against the plantation quietly unfolded.

In the secret room of the Spirit Sword Sect, Elder Hei Yuan was plotting with several disciples.

Elder Hei Yuan's eyes flashed with greed, and he stroked a sample of elixir in his hand and sneered.

"Tianyangmen has really made a lot of money this time, the quality and quantity of the elixirs in this plantation are simply staggering. If we can get all these elixirs, the strength of our Spirit Sword Sect will definitely increase greatly! ”

Snake Invisible and the others also chimed in: "What the elder said is extremely true. Tianyangmen has been pressing us all these years, and this time we will definitely let them taste the loss of their treasure. ”

At the same time, other rival sects, such as the Blood Demon Sect and the Beast Control Sect, were also secretly planning operations against the plantation.

They sent their disciples to infiltrate the vicinity of Tianyangmen, either explicitly or covertly, to inquire about the situation of the plantation and look for an opportunity to make a move.

And all this, Zhao Qi and others are still in the dark. They are still working hard in the plantation, tending to each elixir. However, the tranquility did not last long.

One morning, when Zhao Qi came to the plantation as usual, he keenly noticed something unusual.

The elixir in the garden seemed to have been tampered with, and there were even unfamiliar breaths left on the leaves of several elixirs. He immediately realized that someone had infiltrated the plantation.

"Not good! Someone has been here! ”

Zhao Qi exclaimed in surprise and immediately summoned Yi Wuxiao and others to check on the situation.

After some closer inspection, they found that there were no other noticeable losses except for a few elixirs that had been slightly damaged.

However, it is enough to say that the plantation has been exposed to the eyes of the rival sects.

Zhao Qi and the others sat around with solemn faces to discuss countermeasures. They knew that this was just a tentative move by a hostile sect, and that there would definitely be an even more fierce offensive coming next.

In order to protect the safety of the plantations, they had to take more defensive measures.

So, in the days that followed, Zhao Qi stepped up patrols on the plantation, adding more traps and alarms.

At the same time, he also specially consulted Elder Chenguang and other masters in the sect to learn some defensive formations and combat skills.

However, the hostile sect did not retreat because of the tight defense of Zhao Qi and others.

On the contrary, they have become more cunning and vicious. They began to use various means to destroy the elixir in the plantation, and even did not hesitate to send experts to infiltrate the inside of the Tianyang Gate to assassinate and sabotage.

In the face of the frantic offensive of the hostile sect, Zhao Qi and the others were not intimidated.

The night was like ink, and Zhao Qi stood at the entrance of the plantation, his eyes firm and deep.

Behind him was a lush elixir field, which was his hard work and the precious wealth of Tianyangmen.

In order to protect this peaceful and sacred land, he decided to strengthen his defenses and ensure the safety of the elixir.

"Zhao Qi, are you sure you want to do this?" Elder Chenguang stroked his beard and asked with a solemn expression.

Zhao Qi nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "Elder, the safety of the plantation is related to the future of our Tianyangmen. I can't let hostile sects take advantage of it. ”

Elder Chenguang patted Zhao Qi's shoulder and said with appreciation, "Good job! Our disciples of Tianyangmen should have this kind of responsibility. What do you need help with, just ask. ”

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Elder." I've set traps around the park and increased the number of patrols. However, the night was the time when the defense was at its weakest, so I decided to take it personally. ”

"You did it yourself?" Elder Chenguang frowned slightly, "This is too dangerous. In case of a sneak attack by a hostile sect......"

"Elder, don't worry, I'll be careful." Zhao Qi interrupted Elder Chenguang's words, a confident smile appeared on his face, "Moreover, I believe they won't succeed easily." ”

As night fell, Zhao Qi stood alone at the entrance of the plantation.

He wields a sword and wears a cloak of stars and moons, like a guardian deity. The night breeze blew, driving his clothes to flutter, adding a bit of heroism.

In the night, there are occasional sounds of insects chirping and leaves rubbing.

Zhao Qi'er listened to all directions, looked at the six roads, and did not dare to relax in the slightest. He knew that rival sects could attack at any moment.

As the minutes ticked by, the night grew darker and thicker. However, there is still peace in the plantation. Zhao Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that there should be nothing wrong tonight.

Just then, a slight sound of footsteps caught his attention. Zhao Qi immediately became alert, clenched the long sword in his hand, and prepared for battle.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Zhao Qi's heart also raised his throat. Suddenly, a familiar figure stepped out of the darkness.

"Yi Wuxiao? What are you doing here? Zhao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and put away his long sword.

Yi Wuxiao smiled and said, "I heard that you are going to be on duty at the plantation tonight, so I came to accompany you." What do you think? Haven't eaten yet, have you? I've brought you some food and drinks. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a food box from his back, filled with hot meals and wine.

Zhao Qi's heart warmed, and he looked at Yi Wuxiao gratefully: "Thank you." However, it's dangerous here, so you better go back quickly. ”

Yi Wuxiao shook his head and said firmly, "No! Since I'm here, I'll be on duty with you. One more person has more power. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, sitting side by side at the entrance of the plantation. While tasting delicious food and wine, they talked about their cultivation experiences and their hopes for the future.

In the night, their figures appear particularly determined and lonely.

However, this loneliness did not last long. As time passed, more and more disciples spontaneously joined the defense of the plantation.

They patrolled, trapped, or kept watch at night, guarding this sacred land.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the safety of the plantation has been effectively guaranteed.

The night is like ink, and the moon is like water. Zhao Qi wore a black night suit and quietly patrolled the plantation.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he did not miss the slightest suspicious movement.

Suddenly, a slight rustling sound caught his attention. Zhao Qi immediately became alert, he held his breath and tiptoed towards the source of the sound.

I saw a few dark shadows wandering sneakily around the elixir field, they were holding tools, apparently to steal the elixir.

Zhao Qi sneered in his heart, these spies of the hostile sect finally couldn't help but make a move.

He silently approached the shadow, ready to catch them all. However, at this moment, one of the dark shadows seemed to sense something and suddenly looked back vigilantly.

Zhao Qi was shocked in his heart, but he reacted quickly and immediately hid in a dense elixir bush.

The shadow looked back a few times, but found nothing out of the ordinary, and continued to whisper with the other accomplices.

Zhao Qi was secretly glad in his heart, if he was a little careless just now, he might have exposed his whereabouts. He took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality, ready to strike again.

This time, he was more cautious, and with the help of the cover of the elixir bush, he approached the black shadow little by little.

Finally, he came behind the shadows, only to hear them discussing how to steal the elixir.

"These elixirs are really tempting, if we can get them all, our sect's strength will definitely increase greatly!" A dark shadow said greedily.

"Hmph, Tianyangmen has really made a bloody investment this time. However, the more they value these elixirs, the more we must let them taste loss. Another dark shadow sneered.

Zhao Qi was furious when he heard this, these disciples of the rival sect were so arrogant.

He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and shouted: "The thief is gone!" As he spoke, his body was like electricity, and he instantly rushed out of the elixir cluster.

The shadows were startled by the sudden shout, and they fled in all directions in panic.

But Zhao Qi had already locked on to the target, he was in good shape, and he caught up with one of the black shadows in a few ups and downs.

"What sect are you from? How dare you come and steal the elixir of our Tianyang Gate! Zhao Qi shouted.

The black shadow was intimidated by Zhao Qi's momentum, and he replied in a trembling voice, "I...... I am a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, spare my life! ”

"Spirit Sword Sect?" Zhao Qi frowned, this sect has always been the opponent of Tianyangmen.

He sneered and said, "What a Spirit Sword Sect, he dares to send a disciple to steal the elixir. If I don't give you some color today, you are really a bully when we are Tianyangmen! ”

As he spoke, he waved the long sword in his hand, and a sword qi slashed towards the black shadow.

The black shadow was so frightened that he threw the tools in his hand and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Spare your life! I don't dare anymore! ”

Zhao Qijian raised his eyebrows and shouted: "If you want to live, you must be honest!" How many of you are there? Where are the others? ”

The black shadow didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly summoned it truthfully. It turned out that there were five of them, and the other four were hiding in different places, ready to wait for the opportunity.

Zhao Qi was secretly glad that he had found them in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

He let the Shadow lead the way and capture the other four one by one. These five people were all disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, and they wanted to take the opportunity to escape when they saw that the theft operation failed, but they were all subdued by Zhao Qi one by one.

Zhao Qi tied the five of them together and prepared to take them back to Tianyangmen to be dealt with by the sect. At this time, Yi Wuxiao and others rushed over when they heard the news and saw that Zhao Qi had successfully captured the spy, and they all cheered for Zhao Qi.

"Well done! Zhao Qi! Elder Chenguang stroked his beard and smiled, "You have made a great contribution this time!" ”

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and said, "The elder has an overreputation. This is what a disciple should do. ”

The moonlight was like water, and in the quiet night, Zhao Qi stood alone at the entrance of the plantation, his eyes were firm, as if he had become a guardian saint.

After going through many challenges and tests, his determination is stronger than ever - to protect this elixir garden from the slightest damage.

Since the last time he successfully thwarted the theft of the rival sect, Zhao Qi knew that the plantation had become a piece of fat in the eyes of the rival sect.

All the time, they are hatching new conspiracies to disrupt the peace and harmony. (End of chapter)
