Chapter 2571: Medicinal Herbs Everywhere

Master Ye You’s heart filled with hatred as he questioned the Seven-Armed Elder.

How could the Seven-Armed Elder admit to such a thing? He swore on the spot that whoever revealed his secret would be his grandson.

Master Ye You was suspicious and certainly didn’t believe him. However, he couldn’t bring out any evidence. After arguing for a while, he gave up.

Kai Luo was indeed an extraordinary figure. However, The same thing happened when he fell into the hands of deities and became just like an ant without a trace of spirit or pride on its body. He looked like an ancient walking corpse.

Most of his spirit and willpower had been wiped out.

He had also been hit by the “Blood Wolf Curse” that Handae had cast. Once he had the heart to try and resist, he would suffer the pain of a pack of wolves devouring his soul.

At this moment, Le was sitting on the back of a giant wolf covered in long blood-red fur. Beside him was the Kai Luo. The two followed closely behind Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin, who was walking at the front.

They had already left the planet and were walking at the bottom of the sea on top of metallic-feeling sand, and their feet left footprints on the sand.

Of course, Xue Tu would meticulously clean up these footprints as he was walking at the back.

Xue Tu was afraid that other cultivators would easily follow their path and enter the Fane of Origin. Therefore, he was very diligent at work in cleaning up the footprints.

Although Lord Ming had opened up a path, he didn’t seem interested in the treasures along the way. Instead, he headed straight for the Fane of Origin in the center.

Because of this, many Divine Marks and array inscriptions hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned up.

They couldn’t threaten gods, but they could threaten Saint-level cultivators like them.

Thus, Kai Luo came in handy.

Walking at the front, Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin used the Heart of Truth and the Divine Eye of Origin to check their path. When they found the inscriptions of arrays, they immediately pushed Kai Luo to the front.

Kai Luo also thought about resisting, but the Blood Wolf under Le let out a long howl. He immediately trembled like a mouse meeting a cat or a baby chick meeting an eagle.

Obviously, Handae had scared him out of his wits.

Seven-Armed Elder and Master Ye You walked side by side and secretly communicated with each other using spiritual power.

Master Ye You asked, “What is this place exactly? Zhang Ruochen and the others have cracked the array of several ruins along the way, and they seem to have gained a lot.”

The Seven-Armed Elder narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Before I answer your question, I want to discuss something with you first.”

“Go ahead.”

“Do you think we can defeat Zhang Ruochen and the others if we work together?”

Master Ye You had thought of this more than once. However, the initiative of the Seven-Armed Elder had made him cautious, “This old bastard obviously joined the Xue Jue Family a long time ago. At this moment, he must have listened to Zhang Ruochen’s secret command to test my loyalty.”

Master Ye You smiled and said, “I have accepted Zhang Ruochen as my master. Once a master, always a master. How could I dare to think of killing my master?”

The Seven-Armed Elder rolled his eyes. He realized the old man didn’t trust him, so he had to suppress his thoughts.

Without Master Ye You’s help, he wasn’t confident enough to rely on himself.

“What kind of sacred treasure land is this? Why are there more and more ruins that are exceedingly old? The materials used in the buildings here were extraordinary.” Master Ye You couldn’t help but ask again.

The Seven-Armed Elder still pretended to be mysterious and didn’t tell him.

The ruins and remnants became even more densely packed as they moved forward.

There were broken columns dozens of meters high with mysterious ancient beasts carved on them.

There was a broken stone statue with only half of its body, but it was as big as a mountain. The statue was in the act of killing and subduing demons. Under the dim light, it was extremely shocking.

They looked as small as ants when they walked past the statue.

Xue Tu saw a purple gem the size of a pond between the stone statue’s eyebrows. The light it emitted was enough to affect the Precepts in his body.

It was evident that it was a treasure.

He wanted to take it, but Zhang Ruochen stopped him.

The Seven-Armed Elder sneered. “The stone statue is surrounded by powerful Divine Marks that can’t be described with words. Normal gods might not even dare to approach it. You can die if you want, but don’t drag us down with you.”

Everyone felt regret but continued to move forward.

Four days later, they finally arrived at the core of the Fane of Origin. Everyone was shocked and petrified by the scene before them.

It was no longer pitch black. The place was filled with all kinds of strange flowers and plants that could emit radiant light. Many of them had reached the level of Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herbs. There were also some extremely rare ones that could only be seen in ancient handwritten notes.

“Oh my God, how can there be such a huge dragon heart plant? Every leaf is like a dragon. It has already grown five leaves. Doesn’t that mean that it has already lived for five Yuanhui periods? Once such a sacred medicine is born, the gods will appear and buy it.”

Master Ye You looked at the dragon heart grass in the distance. He was so excited that his entire body was emitting spectral flame.

It must be known that any sacred medicine that had lived for three Yuanhui periods could already be used as the primary medicine for refining Emperor Grade Sacred Pill and Subdivine Elixir. It could even be used as an accompanying medicine for divine pills.

Once he picked the dragon heart grass that had survived for five Yuanhui periods and consumed it, his spiritual power would reach level 69 and a half. He might even reach level 70 and directly achieve divinity.

No wonder Zhang Ruochen claimed that he could help him achieve divinity. It turned out that he wasn’t merely talking about it.

“Is this the legendary Purple Tears Sky Bamboo? It actually grew into a purple bamboo forest. Most of them have lived for one Yuanhui period. Some even have lived for three or four Yuanhui periods.” The Seven-Armed Elder kept gulping his saliva that came in such quantities that his eyes were about to turn purple.

Last time, he did not barge into such proximity when he came alone.

Xue Tu’s cultivation was too low. Naturally, he did not dare to expect to pick the sacred medicinal herbs that had lived for three or four Yuanhui periods. This was because these medicinal herbs usually had mighty offensive power. The more powerful the herbs, the more powerful the Arrays and Divine Marks would be.

Therefore, he specifically targeted those medicinal herbs that had only lived for one Yuanhui period and quickly gathered them.

Zhang Ruochen was also interested in some of the medicinal herbs, but he was more interested in what the Wordless Sword Manual was sensing. So, he looked at the vast ruins of the Fane.

He couldn’t see the outline of the Fane of Origin. He could only see a hillside filled with soil and strange flowers with weird plants.

The hillside was endless. It extended up to the end of the horizon.

Zhang Ruochen had seen the Fane of Truth before. It was thousands of miles tall. If the Fane of Origin had not been destroyed, it would probably have been on such a scale. After the destruction, the ruins could spread for tens of thousands of miles.

“The Fane of Origin nurtured the sacred medicine here. It has been growing for tens of thousands of years. No one has ever picked it. The quantity of sacred medicine here is probably unequaled in quantity to the Fane of Truth in the Celestial Court and the Fane of Destiny in the Infernal Court. It is the most precious treasure here. You should try to pick as much as possible with the time we’ve got.”

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and released the Lord of Sword, the Lord of Stone, Sikong the Elder, Sikong the Younger, Zhen Sha, Zhen Tan, and Zhen Wang from the Qiankun Realm. He allowed them to go and collect as an opportunity.

As for the Que Shenzi “Zhen Se” and Tian Shuzi “Zhen Nu,” Zhang Ruochen only let them out to take a look at the sacred medicine. He stored them back in the Qiankun Realm when they were stirred up and excited.

The disobedient cultivators could only watch but not eat.

The Fane of Origin had sunk to the bottom of the sea for a long time. Most of the valuable treasures must have turned to dust. Although the treasures that could be preserved were rare ones, they were few and far between.

The countless number of medicinal herbs were the most incredible wealth.

Zhang Ruochen sent a voice transmission to Ji Fanxin. “Help me keep an eye on Seven-Armed Elder and Master Ye You.”

“There’s no need to keep an eye on them. They may be rebellious, but at this moment… look, you look at them. They’re all so anxious to pick the medicinal herbs. How can they have the mood to do anything else?” Ji Fanxin said.

“That seems to be the case… Eh?”

When Zhang Ruochen looked at Ji Fanxin, he was surprised to find that the sacred medicine that even the Seven-Armed Elder and Master Ye You couldn’t pick easily flew out of the Divine Marks by themselves to Ji Fanxin’s side.

In a moment, she was surrounded by hundreds of flowers. She stood amidst the sea of flowers. Her figure was graceful and beautiful, and her black hair flowed like a waterfall.

The light from the petals reflected her skin like jade, and she was transformed into a real Fairy of a Hundred Flowers.

Zhang Ruochen was mesmerized by this scene for a moment. This extreme beauty almost intoxicated him.

This intoxication did not contain any impurities. It was the purest kind of appreciation.

Of course, it was only for a moment.

The other cultivators stared blankly for a long time before recovering their emotions.

Under the contrast of the hundred flowers, her beauty was even more powerful than illusions and spiritual power spells. It was as if she could seduce a Supreme Saint’s soul and shake his will.

Only the sacred medicine of the flower category would take the initiative to approach and get close to her.

On the other hand, they were so envious that they cried out in admiration.

“As expected of the Lotus of Divine Reflection, named as the emperor of all flowers. Moreover, the sacred medicine here has absorbed the power of Origin, and she is also a Master of Origin. The flower types of the sacred medicine must treat her like a mother. It also includes the Saint Devourer, which became very close to her after coming into contact with her,” Zhang Ruochen thought.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen released the Saint Devourer and asked her to stay here to care for everyone and collect the sacred medicine.

If she encountered other ferocious plants, she could resist them with her cultivation of the Paramount Realm.

After making proper arrangements, Zhang Ruochen, Le, and Kai Luo followed the path opened by Lord Ming and used the sensing capabilities of the Wordless Sword Manual to set off towards the Fane of Origin.

After walking for about a day, they saw a vast sword-shaped stone mountain in the distance.

This Stone Mountain looked similar to the Wordless Sword Manual but more majestic.

Countless swords flew around the sword-shaped stone mountain like schools of fish.

Zhang Ruochen saw the silhouette of Lord Ming on the cliff of the sword-shaped Stone Mountain.
