Meng Shushu was digging as he explained, “Be careful when digging up spiritual medicine. Avoid damaging it otherwise its medicinal power will disappear. If too much time passes, there will be little left.”

Being a spiritual medicine explorer, he knew all kinds of spiritual medication intimately.

He continued to explain to Xu Yan and another person, “Herb-like spiritual medicine is less fragile. You only need to dig it up as long as the damage is minimal, it won’t lose its medicinal power. One must pay particular attention to fruit-like spiritual medicines, they must be kept with their stems. Like the crop that grows underground, be careful when digging so as not to damage it, then there would be no problem.

“The spiritual medicine that grows underground always has a layer of protection.”

“Of course, this is just a method of harvesting spiritual medicine. For long-term preservation and preventing the loss of medicinal power, there are other, more complex methods.”

“Tianbao Pavilion is best at preserving spiritual medicine. So, generally speaking, all major forces, after harvesting the spiritual medicine, will deposit it in Tianbao Pavilion for safekeeping. Alternatively, they would seal the spiritual medicine before storing it.”

Xu Yan and Meng Chong were choosing and digging up spiritual medicine while listening to Meng Shushu’s explanations.

“Tianbao Pavilion is really impressive,” Xu Yan exclaimed.

From the Spiritual tickets that allow entry to the inner domain, to the storage and sealing of spiritual medicine, it was clear that no major force dared to offend Tianbao Pavilion.

However, Tianbao Pavilion adhered to principles of non-interference in the inner domain struggle, maintaining its own principles and an excellent reputation. This was one of the reasons why the major forces placed their trust in Tianbao Pavilion.

“Tianbao Pavilion is naturally powerful. No one knows about their actual strength. Even though the Seven-star Study Palace is considered strong, I feel it might not be as powerful as Tianbao Pavilion,” Meng Shushu exclaimed.

“However, major forces like the Seven-star Study Palace have their own ways of dealing with spiritual medicine, including storage and sealing techniques.

“They still deposit a portion of the spiritual medicine in Tianbao Pavilion because branches are spread across the inner domain. If there’s an emergency that requires spiritual medicine, it can easily be collected from Tianbao Pavilion.

“Rumor has it that these major forces have secret agreements with Tianbao Pavilion, which gives them generous cooperation privileges,” Meng Shushu commented.

Being a resident of the Inner Domain, Meng Shushu clearly understood the strength of Tianbao Pavilion. He couldn’t help but sigh aloud.

“Uncle, do you know how to store and seal spiritual medicine?” Meng Chong asked while digging up spiritual medicine.

“Being a skilled explorer of spiritual medicine in my family, I naturally know how to preserve and seal spiritual medicine. However, it’s quite troublesome, and the materials needed for sealing spiritual medicine are even more complicated to prepare.

“Nevertheless, you can buy these from Tianbao Pavilion, albeit at a cost,” Meng Shushu nodded with a sigh. Nowadays, most explorers of spiritual medicine in the Inner Domain were employed by Tianbao Pavilion. He didn’t like being restrained, so he refused Tianbao Pavilion’s recruitment.

Meng Chong nodded, he had seen the materials used by Tianbao Pavilion for sealing spiritual medicine. They used a layer of transparent membrane to encase the spiritual medicine, ensuring the medicine’s power wouldn’t be lost.

Half a day later, all the spiritual medicine in the medicinal field had been harvested; most were of the eighth class, with only a few seventh-class medicines.

There were twenty-three kinds of spiritual medicine in total.

“Carrying so many varieties of spiritual medicine is inconvenient. If only there was a storage bag,” Xu Yan looked at the pile of spiritual medicine and complained.

“Meng Shushu, as a spiritual medicine explorer, how can you not buy a storage bag? How can you carry a large amount of spiritual medicine? So, you must get a storage bag,” Xu Yan advised, patting Meng Shushu’s shoulder.

“I’ll try my best,” Meng Shushu replied helplessly.

It seemed impossible to extricate himself from the pit dug by these two brothers.

“That’s not right, there’s no sixth-class spiritual medicine here, let alone fifth class,” Meng Chong said, looking at the spiritual medicine with furrowed brows.

“There’s still one key left. High-quality spiritual medicines are usually planted individually in every medicinal field,” Meng Shushu took out another key and said.

“Are there any other medicinal fields?” Meng Chong looked around as soon as he heard it, “There!”

The three of them went over to the cavity and found a hole.

Meng Shushu excitedly inserted the key and turned the lock with a click, as if unlocking it.

He pushed the stone wall, causing mud to fall and revealing an open stone wall.

Behind the wall, the light was slightly brighter, especially in the middle where a beam of light was shining.

The three of them looked at the location where the light was shining and were immediately stunned.

There grew a plant of about one foot high with green leaves, under which a thin vine was hanging. A crystal-clear dewdrop was hanging on the vine. Under the light, it shimmered brilliantly; it didn’t look like an ordinary object!

“What kind of spiritual medicine is this?” Xu Yan asked curiously as they carefully approached.

Upon closer inspection, they found that the dewdrop hanging under the green leaves looked like a small fruit, but also like a small bead. It was as transparent as dew and glowed exquisitely.

Meng Shushu walked around the small tree. The more he looked, the more excited he got.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong were puzzled. They didn’t recognize it; Su Lingxiu never mentioned this kind of spiritual medicine.

“Uncle, have you figured it out?” Meng Chong asked, looking up.

This spiritual medicine was extraordinary and definitely not ordinary seventh or eighth class.

“This is… this is Skydrop Marrow. I’ve only seen it in books. It’s described as having green leaves with dew-drops hanging underneath resembling marrow,” Meng Shushu’s face turned red with excitement..
