Chapter 1104 Verdant Heartroot

Stepping into the stone tablet world, Liam inhaled deeply feeling the abundant nether in the air. "What the hell... even this is corrupted?" He could only give a rueful smile and sit down.

Perhaps because he had tried to absorb nether from the nether array, the entire place was filled with the nether swirls. In this condition, Liam could only hope that the stone tablet could work like before.

He sat down and steadied himself, meditating on the herb and the details regarding it. Verdant Heartroot, the miraculous S-Ranked herb.

He was not sure if this would work considering how wily the elf had been. There was even a chance that the bastard gave him the wrong details. There were far too many variables at play here. n0veLuSb.c0m

But unexpectedly, the next second a small sapling sprouted.

It was a tiny thing, no more than a couple of inches tall. Its slender stem was a vibrant shade of emerald, while its delicate leaves had a glossy sheen, twinkling with ethereal light.

The sapling didn't look like much, but Liam could feel an extraordinary aura emanating from it.

He had cultivated various herbs before, but none had given off such an aura even in their full growth. This tiny sapling, despite its size, was undeniably special.

The herb grew slower than the other herbs but soon it had grown into a substantial plant, its stem sturdy and its leaves spread out in a beautiful array of vibrant green.

The herb even started to give off a faint, soothing scent that seemed to resonate with Liam's spirit energy.

As the scent wafted around him, he could feel his tired spirit being rejuvenated. It was an amazing sensation.

Liam's heart rate quickened. He could feel the abundant medicinal energy in the plant. Just its smell was better than any healing potion he had consumed.

This was beyond his initial expectation. It was a treasure in the true sense.

This was an S- Ranked herb! An S-Ranked herb!

Liam immediately grabbed the herb and shoved it directly into his mouth. His whole body was craving for it.

As soon as the herb hit his tongue, a burst of intense energy exploded within his body. The energy was so overwhelming that for a moment, he couldn't move, his eyes bulging in shock and his body rigid.

The powerful life energy within the herb began to circulate within him. His body shivered under the sudden surge of energy and he could feel his damaged meridians start to rapidly heal under the herb's influence.

The healing process was so intense that he had to grit his teeth and clench his fists to bear it. The sensation was akin to having thousands of tiny needles poking at his internal organs, painful but also incredibly rejuvenating.

As the herb's potent life energy surged through his veins, it not only healed his damaged meridians but also began strengthening them, making them more resilient than before.

It filled up his body with an overwhelming vitality that made him feel lighter than he had ever felt. The lethargy and fatigue that had been plaguing him disappeared, replaced by an abundance of strength and vitality.

After an hour of intense healing, Liam finally opened his eyes. His previously exhausted eyes were now filled with a bright gleam. He could feel the powerful life energy still coursing through his veins, slowly repairing every part of his body.

More importantly, mana from the stone tablet's world entered his body and started to bubble within him, surging like a raging river. His broken core was slowly getting repaired.

Liam immediately became overjoyed. He continued meditating and tried his best to regulate the process. However, the next second, a wave of immense pain washed over him, and he couldn't help but scream out.

His body convulsed, every nerve on fire as his mana core was repaired, only to be cracked immediately afterward. The pain was excruciating as if his soul was being torn apart and reassembled piece by piece.

Nether had seeped too deep into his body and into his mana core. He simply couldn't revert back to his former core any longer.

As if this wasn't enough, nether from the stone tablet's pocket world also started seeping into his body. Liam tried his best to keep it out but the two energies once again clashed and wrecked his insides.

The nourishing energy from the herb was like a calming medium trying to soothe both energies but it was not successful. It got drowned in the chaos.

Liam gritted his teeth, bearing everything and meditating until the pain eventually subsided. His condition at the moment was a lot better than before but as far as his mana core was concerned, he was still a cripple.

Sighing tiredly, Liam took out the blood essence crystal from the spatial artifact. He never thought that this would be easy so he wasn't disappointed. No matter what he had to keep moving forward.

He lifted up the crystal and examined the blood essence inside carefully. He had never come across anything like this before so he was not sure what to do with it.

But suddenly, a frown appeared on his face. He observed the essence more closely. He did not know why but the essence inside seemed to be agitated and moving more rapidly than before as if they had a will of their own.

The next second, something even more shocking occurred. The essence started seeping out of the crystal. To Liam's surprise, the escaping essence seemed to be attracted to the S- Ranked herb, slowly moving towards the small patch of herbs.

Unsure of what was happening, Liam watched as the blood essence started to interact with the herb. The essence began to wrap itself around one of the herbs as if it was embracing it. The sight was as stunning as it was bewildering.

He could see the blood essence gradually seeping into the herb, getting absorbed into its stem and leaves. The herb seemed to be thriving under the infusion of the blood essence. It grew in size, its leaves became more lustrous, and its stem more robust.
