13 Chapter Twelve

"The herb garden?" Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, then remembered.

"Oh! That! The concept of that is like your chests, so for now, the herb garden is non-existent. However, the forest is still free for you to move about, and there might be some of the herbs in there. . ." Ji Xiang quickly explained, seeing the shadow of Yu You Lei loom closer.

Nodding stiffly, Ji Xiang watched with bated breath as Yu You Lei walked away.

It was only when her figure completely disappeared did he let out a sigh of relief. Mustn't let her know he actually ate most of the herbs, or else his life would be in danger! He stared at the herb garden for a moment, then muttered under his breath, "Little plants, I know you can regenerate. I'm sorry for eating you again and again over the last few years, please grow faster. . ."

Then, a moment later, all traces of fear disappeared and he became bored.

"Wait! Female devil, it's boring in here. Bring me out to play! I haven't seen the world in many years, what if there's something new?" Ji Xiang shouted out anxiously. It didn't seem to know that they'd travelled a few thousand years back instead of forward.

A reply came very quickly.

"Do you expect me to carry a fish tank around? I'm not going to bring you out! This is a few thousand years back, and you probably were already at this point in time. What is there to see?" Yu You Lei's voice echoed in the blob of water Ji Xiang was still floating in.

"At least let me out?" Ji Xiang tactfully used a respectful tone, hoping he could at least swim around in the water for a bit.

No reply came, even after he waited for a few minutes.

The only traces of Yu You Lei ever entering the ring were the blobs of water floating in midair.

One contained a fish, while the others, position directly in plain view of the fish, spelt out "In your dreams!".

Her soul returning to her body, Yu You Lei took a moment to recollect her thoughts.

So, the first step would be to find a way to get rid of the poison.

For that, she needed to be in good condition and have a lot of money.

The herbs she required to rid her body of the poison weren't common, and would probably be pricey.

Since the previous owner of Yu You Lei's body liked to dabble in random jobs, she knew that the herbs, alchemy, arrays, beast taming and such weren't too different from her past life.

The occupations were graded from 10 to 1, with 10 being the lowest and 1 being the highest.

Each grade had a very vast difference in the amount of mental power required, which was why anything higher than grade 3 was practically legendary.

The grades represented what grade of their occupations they could handle. For example, a grade 5 alchemist could make grade 5 pills, and a grade 8 array master could set up grade 8 arrays.

As the grade grows higher, the difference also becomes larger. While a grade 10 alchemist might still be able to stand in for a grade 9 one, it would be impossible for a grade 8 one to stand in for a grade 7 one.

The pills, beasts, arrays were also classified the same way as the occupations were, from 10 to 1, with 10 being the lowest.

Herbs divided into two classes. Normal and spiritual. The normal herbs were things you could probably find on random mountains as long as you knew where to look for. The spiritual herbs were the ones which had infused spiritual qi in them, giving then special and magical effects.

Nowadays, spiritual herbs were more commonly seen than normal ones, so that meant the normal herbs actually cost more than the other class.

The classes were divided into three grades, low, average and high. It's clear how that works, right?

What Yu You Lei needed were 5 normal average grade herbs, 3 normal high grade herbs, 20 normal low grade herbs, 50 spiritual low grade herbs, 20 spiritual average grade herbs and 30 spiritual high grade herbs. And this was the cure after Yu You Lei had modified and simplified it!

These 120 something herbs, don't look down on them. Each of them were of a different type, and some of them were, as mentioned, difficult to find.

Money was no problem for Yu You Lei, seeing as she had chests full of that in her ring, but where would she find some of these herbs? People might not even be willing to sell them. No matter the quality, some herbs are very rare and would fetch high prices at an auction even if it were a spiritual low grade herb.

If they could possibly find ways to raise the price at an auction, who would want to sell to somehow with a fixed price?

Yu You Lei decided to push her problems aside for now. She needed to temporarily treat her wounds, and find what she could first.

With a single thought, her soul appeared back in her ring.

Ignoring the demands and cries of a certain fish, she grabbed a few healing pills and some money.

Just as she was about to leave, something Ji Xiang said stopped her in her tracks.

"There are herbs in the forest! If you let me out, I will help you find them!" Throwing his body against the water, Ji Xiang was stunned when he suddenly burst through the bubble of water and fell back into the river.

That's right. . . She only collected the water into the air, and didn't place any barrier. . .

How could he have been fooled by a young lass like her?

Turning to Yu You Lei, he realized that she had a smile playing on her face.

In a second, she burst out laughing.

She turned away, still laughing, and only said, "That's right, you could've just jumped out. There wasn't any glass around the water, right? Thank you for the information, though. I don't want to carry you around like an idiot, so I'll just use my control over this world to gather my herbs. No need to disturb your rest, Ji Xiang."

With a single wave of her hands, most of the spiritual herbs she required flew into her hands.

3 spiritual high grade herbs were missing, along with 2 normal average grade ones and 5 normal high grade ones.

This made everything so much easier!
