"We're here, pass through that light, and we'll reach the Spiritual Realm." Jing Yao reminded them. He then took out four pill s and fed them to them, "When you go in, everyone must remember not to stray."
"Right." Everyone replied in unison.
After walking for a short period of time, they arrived. Before them was a weak, pure white light, and the staircase disappeared from the white light.
Yue Liusu walked in the middle, and after Liu Yiner passed through, she also entered.
When Yue Liusu opened his eyes, his surroundings seemed to have changed. He looked around at the endless flat forest, and a white light floated in the air.
"These are the products of the forest, elves." Jing Yao explained: "Let's go, it's not easy to travel when it's dark. We should find a place to rest as soon as possible."
"Right." Yue Liusu and the rest responded, they quickly caught up to Jing Yao. As he walked, they checked the map.
"This map was drawn by me when the brother Yao came, and is now even more useful." Jing Qiao laughed.
At this time, Jing Yao called out to Yue Liusu, so she quickly went over.
"What kind of herbs did you collect?" he asked.
"Let me see." Yue Liusu said as she closed her eyes and waved her hand, releasing a book into her palm. This book was taken out from Shen Jueming's Book Pavilion, "One stalk of Corydalis Herba, one stalk of Purple Cloud Grass, and two stalks of Southern Flower."
After Yue Liusu finished speaking, she started to compare the plants on the map. The rest were in Yang Tian's possession, and she was willing to take them out, thus saving herself the unnecessary trouble.
"Let's go and gather the closest Purple Cloud Grass." Jing Yao said as he kept the map.
The group once again headed towards the front.
It was night. Although they had found a relatively dense forest to rest in, they set off for their first destination as soon as the sun rose the next day.
"That mountain up ahead is it." Jing Yao raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see a mountain peak standing there.
"Let's go." Yue Liusu said, she was the first to walk in front, her green clothes resonating with the surroundings. As she walked along the road, she could occasionally feel things passing by.
"Don't worry about those things, they are all products of the Spiritual Realm. We just need to carefully move forward so that we won't be discovered by the people from the Spiritual Realm." Jing Yao said.
Yue Liusu had thought that the Spiritual Realm was scattered.
"This world is full of wonders, there is nothing to be surprised about it." Liu Yiner laughed, she knew the doubt in Yue Liusu's heart, "A few years ago I heard my clansmen say that Spiritual Realm is called Spiritual Realm because this place is the place where the souls of the dead live."
"They had nowhere to hide, so they all stayed here. This place became the biggest secret of the entire Upper Heaven Path, and everyone brought all the secrets they knew here."
"So that's how it is." Yue Liusu suddenly realized.
"But right now, we have to first harvest the Purple Cloud Grass, and then make our plans." Liu Yiner laughed.
"Spiritual Realm also has the cultivation method of people with Spiritual Realm, they can cultivate physical beings, of course this requires a very high realm, in order to maintain their current state of soul, they must constantly cultivate. If you meet those people midway, you must not take action, it's not enough."
Jing Yao said.
"I see." Yue Liusu replied.
A few figures swiftly flew through the forest. Yue Liusu lightly tapped her feet and rapidly advanced forward. Almost with every step she took, she could feel the restlessness and desire in her surroundings.
It was as if ever since she had arrived at the Spiritual Realm, she had felt a pair of eyes staring fixedly at her from the shadows.
They spent about two hours before they finally arrived at the bald mountain top. The leaves of the Purple Cloud Grass were of a special shape, and each leaf had five additional leaves. They were all purple and had clear veins, but they only bloomed once every hundred years.
Following the Purple Cloud Grass' growing habits, they walked along the bare mountain peak for a bit, and before long, they found it in the dark.
"Here!" Jing Qiao immediately recognized it and shouted in surprise. According to Yue Liusu's description, he would not be wrong!
As expected, they saw a clump of Purple Cloud Grass growing in the crevice of the stone wall, facing Feng Ao Li's direction.
"You guys wait here, I'll go gather them." Yue Liusu said, her feet lightly touching the ground, her body gently flying up, one foot stepping on the ground, one hand grabbing onto a crack in the stone, the other hand reaching out to touch it.
He grabbed the Violet Cloud Grass and lifted it up in one go.
She quickly stored the Purple Cloud Grass into the space and with a wave of her hand, she fell off the cliff.
"Are you alright?" The other children surrounded him and asked in concern.
Yue Liusu shook his head, and took out the Purple Cloud Grass that he had stored in his spatial space for his friends to see, and said: "It's fine, I've harvested it. Let's go."
Following which, she entered the space once more.
Jing Yao started to compare the maps again.
"Now we will go and collect Nanhua. Nanhua lives in the swamps, south of Spiritual Realm. Everyone be careful." Jing Yao said.
"Mm. Let's go." Yue Liusu memorized the route Jing Yao indicated and turned to walk in the opposite direction. After a few leaps, she quickly disappeared into the forest, and her little friends quickly caught up.
As the wind blew past his ears, Yue Liusu felt that the more he moved towards the swamp, the colder he felt.
"Liusu, be careful. Spirit people are coming here." Jing Yao reminded as he stood beside Yue Liusu.
"Alright." Yue Liusu replied. With a light tap of his feet, he disappeared into the dense forest.
At this moment, Yue Liusu could smell a rotten smell. Right in front of her, he actually saw a large demonic beast? Heavens? A large demonic beast actually exists in this place?
Just as she approached, her figure flashed and directly landed on a tree. In front of her, there was a dense forest as a cover, so the demonic beast was completely unable to discover her existence.
"That's a demonic beast, but we're already dead. There aren't any living beings in the Spiritual Realm, and we used pill s that can conceal our own auras before we came, so to the products of those Spiritual Realm, we're just like dead people." Jing Yao explained.
Yue Liusu looked over, only to see the large demonic beast's body becoming illusory and solidifying under the sunlight. Sometimes, the sunlight and the leaves would pass through the demonic beast's body.
"Let's go, we'll go around from the side." Jing Yao still maintained the attitude of not provoking others at all, if not, they would not be able to return back in the short span of a few days.
Yue Liusu and the rest continued on their journey.
The tip of his nose was still emitting a rotten smell, which was very unpleasant to the nose.
This is a swamp area. It used to be a river, but unfortunately it dried up. All the trees that were washed away here rotted here, and eventually it became a dead city in the Spirit World. Even so, there are many things that live here.
"To them, this place is their resting place." Jing Yao explained as he walked.
He had only been here once, but he had done his homework before.
"Wait a moment." Yue Liusu shouted for her to stop in time. She urgently needed a good rest, the pungent smell was extremely uncomfortable for her.
"What's wrong?" The young friends stopped and asked Yue Liusu worriedly.
"No problem, I'll be fine after a short rest." Yue Liusu waved her hand, it seemed like she needed to get used to this rotten smell first, the smell of the trees was even more moist and unpleasant than the smell of corpses, Yue Liusu had experienced it himself.
She had never felt this way before, probably because of the too dark environment of the Spiritual Realm.
"Let's go." Yue Liusu adjusted his mental state, it was obviously better than before.
The group continued their journey, and just as they were leaving, an illusory figure suddenly appeared where she had been standing.
"Master, someone is trespassing into my Spiritual Realm, what should we do?" Right behind this man, a figure had also appeared and was kneeling behind him.
"No problem, let's see what they want to do first before making any plans." The man's gray eyes narrowed as an extremely dangerous aura burst forth. His body flashed, and he quickly disappeared from where he stood.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yue Liusu actually saw a very magical scene before him.
"Is that a spiritual herb? Why would spiritual herb grow here? " Yue Liusu stopped and sat on the tree branch to rest.
"It's been said that the area with the most spiritual herb in the past was the Spiritual Realm." Jing Qiao replied with a smile, and followed Yue Liusu's example and sat beside her.
"Is that so?" Yue Liusu said.
"Mn, the origin of the spiritual herb originally was Spiritual Realm. Later on, you also found out that because the Spiritual Realm was too dark, it was called the most beloved residence of those dead souls. Later on, they used this place as their home and occupied the Spiritual Realm."
"If they want to continuously form a physical body, then they need a large number of spiritual herb to cultivate. More and more souls comes from their Spiritual Realm, and over time, there will be fewer and fewer spiritual herb." Jing Qiao explained. Although he was not too concerned about all this, as the eldest son of the Jing Family, he still needed to learn a lot.
"So that's how it is." Yue Liusu said.
The group of spiritual herb in front of him were clumps upon clumps, extending all the way until a point where they couldn't be seen from afar. The wind blew gently, and the purple flowing light followed the wind and drifted into the distance.
"Let's go, we can't delay the time." Yue Liusu said as he stood up. If they wanted to collect all the medicinal herbs within a short period of time, they would need to spend a lot of effort.
The Spiritual Realm was huge. Although Nanhua was right above this swamp, if they really wanted to find her, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Yue Liusu and the rest continued to advance, since there was nothing else they could eat from the Spiritual Realm, they had already prepared food when they arrived.
It's said that there isn't even a fire here...
Only spiritual fire could be ignited, and since they didn't have any, they might as well eat the rations.
