The Lord of Void and Real

Shen Luo swung his arms and threw a punch, trying to flex his wrist. He found that apart from a slight weighing down sensation, there wasn’t much to hinder his movement. He then turned around and exited the cave’s stone chamber, following the outside water rope back to the surface.

He stood at the bottom of the cliff, reflected for a little while, recalling that slightly further to the left, there was a white square and several structures nearby during his previous climbing. So he headed towards that direction.

He moved among the mountains and forests, hearing nothing but the rustling wind, and no living creatures in sight. He occasionally projected his Divine Sense outwards, sensing the changes in his surroundings.

After half an hour, the shadow of the day gradually tilted to the west, and the sky gradually darkened.

At this time, as Shen Luo walked into a green bamboo forest, he suddenly wrinkled his nose, smelling a faint fragrance of grass and wood.

The fragrance invigorated his spirit upon entering his nostrils, as though the fatigue from his running had mostly alleviated immediately.

With furrowed brows, he quickly traced the scent. In a short while, he traversed the green bamboo forest.

Beyond the bamboo forest, he could see a white hollow flower wall from afar, extending in a ring shape to encircle an area. The fragrance of grass and wood was emanating from within it.

Shen Luo walked along the small path in the forest to the flower wall. Through the holes in the wall, he could see that the interior was overgrown with weeds, presenting a picture of desolation.

The archway was barely ten feet tall, the top covered with colored glaze tile, below which a plaque with peeling lacquer was hung. The words “Hundred Herbs Valley” were engraved on it, and in the middle of the two words, there was an octagonal copper mirror about a foot square embedded.

Shen Luo took a closer look and found that the octagonal copper mirror was very well made, with a Tai Chi Yin and Yang pattern in the mirror’s center and a circle of complex charm patterns surrounding it. It was clearly no ordinary object.

However, regrettably, the octagonal copper mirror was densely covered with spider-web-like cracks, and it was seriously damaged. There couldn’t be detected even a trace of spiritual power fluctuations. Even if it was originally a magical instrument, it was now thoroughly ruined.

Shen Luo walks past the archway and entered the Hundred Herbs Valley. At a glance, he saw a large area of medicinal fields. Although they were covered with dense weeds, the orderly trace of the original field ridges was still visible.

“In the medicine garden of the Immortal Sect, there should be legendary spiritual medicine and immortal herbs, right?” Shen Luo mumbled to himself before proceeding along the field ridges.

Within a medicine field near the entrance, weeds were abundant. Shen Luo widened his eyes and searched for a while but found no medicinal materials with a trace of spiritual energy, let alone the commonly seen useful medicinal plants in the market.

He shook his head and continued his search further into the medicine field. He turned over one field after another and found nothing after looking through seven or eight of them.

“That’s not right,” Shen Luo muttered.

He walked into one of the medicinal fields, moved some wild grasses aside and looked down.

He saw that the soil appeared yellow-brown in color, dry and caked. It seemed even inferior to normal soil, not resembling the fertile topsoil of a medicinal field at all. ŘÁƝоBĘṡ

With furrowed brows, Shen Luo pulled out the wild grass and turned up the underlying soil to reveal a layer of burnt soil beneath the yellow-brown dry topsoil, showing slightly astonished eyes, “What exactly happened here that year?”.

The foundation of the medicinal field burnt by fire was naturally ruined and no longer had the conditions to grow spiritual herbs. Shen Luo didn’t plan to waste any more time here. Instead, he followed the fragrance of the vegetation and headed towards the center of the Hundred Herbs Valley.

After passing several medicinal fields, his eyes flashed when he crossed a slightly raised piece of ground. A faint yellow flower was growing in the weeds in the field.

He immediately stops his steps, bent down to inspect the flower and slightly frowned after examining it.

Next, he gently tapped on the petals with his finger, lifted it to his nose for a sniff, and a smile immediately spread across his face, saying,

“One flower with four leaves, the leaves have seven veins, the flower has four petals, scentless upon smelling, emits a sandalwood scent when touched… This indeed is the Four Leaf Flower described in the book, surprisingly there were some that slipped through the fish net!”

Although Shen Luo read a lot of books, he didn’t recognize many spirit grasses. Happily, this Four Leaf Flower was one of the few. Consumption of this herb strengthens the blood, boosts vitality, and it is the essential spiritual material needed for refining the Golden Fragrant Jade.

But looking at the depth of the veins and the color on the flower, it hadn’t grown for too long, at most thirty years. The medicinal power was rather limited, and for now, it didn’t meet the criteria for refining the Golden Fragrant Jade.

“The medicinal potency isn’t too strong, perfect to take it back and make a pot of medicinal soup for Chen Guanbao and his friends. It will strengthen their vitality. If their bodies improve, perhaps they can cultivate in the future.” Thinking this, Shen Luo carefully dug out the Four Leaf Flower, roots and all.

Once the spiritual medicine was away from the soil, the surface’s luster immediately faded slightly. However, it didn’t instantly wither; instead, a waxy layer formed on the surface, sealing the body.

Seeing this made Shen Luo happy. He put it in his chest pocket and anticipated the medicine fields slightly more in his heart.

On one hand, he searched for the source of the vegetative fragrance, and he didn’t forget to continue looking for other Four Leaf Flowers. While he wasn’t able to find more Four Leaf Flowers, he dug out three Chinese yams instead, each about a foot long.

Shen Luo broke one of the yams apart, pulling several long filaments from the broken end. Astonishingly, they shone with a faint golden light, and the liquid that flowed out had a refreshing scent.

“Could this also be a spiritual medicine?” Shen Luo noted that strands of spiritual energy hovered around the Chinese Yam, causing him to ponder.

Following this, he took a layer of water vapor and cleaned the yam. He then took a bite of it immediately.

With a crisp “crack”, a sweet juice instantly filled his mouth. After a while, a cooling sensation spread from his throat into his belly. Once it reached his Dantian, it turned into a warm current, “Could it actually replenish my mana?”

Shen Luo was ecstatic and gobbled down the yam. Soon, he’d eaten the entire thing.

He held the remaining two yams in his hand, salivating for a long time. He finally resisted not eating all of them at once and put them in his sleeve before continuing his search.

However, in the following period, he went through more than a dozen medicinal fields without any gains.

As the surrounding sky had completely turned dark, Shen Luo saw a red light standing upright in the central region of the Hundred Herbs Valley from afar. There were also scattered pale blue lights on its surroundings.

His eyes shone, and he immediately increased his pace to catch up.

Upon nearing the place, he saw an odd tree about three or four feet high and as thick as a child’s arm in the center of the area.
