Chapter 493: The Millennium Spiritual Herb (Patreon)

Immortal Path Space : Table of Content/Chapter List

XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX

Inside Wang Hong's spatial domain, numerous Spiritual Herbs had already reached the age of a thousand years or more.

Among these Spiritual Herbs, some were common and ordinary, while others were rare and seldom seen.

In fact, most ordinary Spiritual Herbs could not grow for thousands of years since everything in the world had its own lifespan.

Although Spirit Plants generally had longer lifespans, there was still a limit to their longevity.

After most Spiritual Herbs matured, if they were not harvested promptly, they would wither and die.

Low-tier Spiritual Herbs had a short growth lifespan, while high-tier Spiritual Herbs had a longer one. The reason high-tier Spiritual Herbs possessed potent Spiritual Energy was closely related to their extended growth time.

Thanks to the unique properties of Wang Hong's Space, as long as there was sufficient Spirit Qi, the plants inside would never wither. This was the reason why the Space was filled with numerous Millennium Spiritual Herbs.

At this moment, Wang Hong floated within the Space, having just fed some Poisonous Bees.

He had recently acquired various types of Demonic Beasts, and he had refined the bloodline power from these Demonic Beasts to feed the Bee Queen of the Poisonous Bees.

Due to the variety of Demonic Beasts he had collected, after absorbing their diverse bloodline power, the Poisonous Bees had undergone many peculiar changes.

The Poisonous Bee King had almost been pushed to the brink of death because of this, so he had to cultivate several more Poisonous Bee Kings separately to prevent their extinction.

Currently, he was examining various Spiritual Herbs within the Space. He had so many Millennium Spiritual Herbs, yet he hadn't even tried their flavors.

However, Millennium Spiritual Herbs possessed potent medicinal properties and dense Spirit Qi. With his small physique, it was possible for him to explode from the overwhelming energy.

Nevertheless, he could start with a Millennium Spiritual Herb that had relatively weaker medicinal properties.

He felt an urgent need for power. After the exposure of Yunxia Mountain, they could no longer develop peacefully, and battles would become the norm.

The former East Zhou Cultivation Realm, which had twenty Nascent Soul cultivators and thousands of Golden Core cultivators, had been defeated by the Demon Clan, despite its immense strength.

Yunxia Mountain, along with all the mortals, had only tens of thousands of people. How could they stand against the gaze of the Demonic Beast horde?

After inspecting the various Millennium Spiritual Herbs, he selected a vine.

This vine was the Fo-Ti Root he had planted many years ago, and it had already grown for over a thousand years.

Back when he was still a mortal, he had heard folklore saying that Fo-Ti Root would transform into a human form after a thousand years of growth, and consuming it would grant immortality.

When this Fo-Ti Root reached a thousand years, he had dug one up to examine it, but it hadn't transformed into a human form. He had also consumed a piece.

He didn't feel any different, and he couldn't determine if he was in an immortal state now, as his age was still far from the point of aging compared to Golden Core cultivators.

He had never grown old, so he couldn't confirm if he could live forever.

However, he was almost certain that it was just a baseless rumor among mortals. If such miraculous effects truly existed, the Cultivation World would have already mass-produced it.

With a controlled sweep of a hoe, he dug up this Millennium Fo-Ti Root.

Having grown for over ten thousand years in the Space, absorbing rich Spirit Qi every day, it had undergone a qualitative change.

Now, its roots no longer resembled the original Fo-Ti Root, even though it hadn't grown into a human form.

The entire root was purple, smooth, and radiant, like an unblemished purple gemstone.

He plucked this root, and as he examined the remaining Fo-Ti Root vine, he found that it was also an excellent material for refining tools.

After all, the Spirit Plant that had grown for over ten thousand years had absorbed abundant Spirit Qi from various places, resulting in a qualitative transformation that set it apart from ordinary specimens.

Carefully, he collected the vine, then carried the Millennium Fo-Ti Root out of the spatial domain, intending to find a way to consume it.

However, as soon as he exited the Space, he sensed an astonishing surge of Spirit Qi emanating from the Fo-Ti Root.

This immense fluctuation rapidly spread in all directions, quickly exceeding the range of his Divine Sense perception.

Hastily, he brought it back with him as they entered the Space, where this root didn't produce much of a Spiritual Energy fluctuation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it left the Space, its demeanor changed dramatically, as if it were afraid that others wouldn't recognize it as a Millennium Spiritual Herb.

In just a brief moment, this formidable Spiritual Energy fluctuation spread throughout the entire Yunxia Mountain.

All the cultivators on Yunxia Mountain felt a sensation and curiously looked towards the mountaintop, but they couldn't find anything. Then, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation vanished.

"What is this?" a cultivator asked his companion in astonishment. He had been practicing for hundreds of years and had never encountered such a strong Spirit Qi fluctuation.

"This fluctuation seems to have come from the East Master's cave mansion. Perhaps East Master is practicing a profound secret technique," another cultivator guessed, also unfamiliar with such a Spirit Qi fluctuation.

However, a few knowledgeable cultivators, relying on some ancient records, could deduce that this was the sign of an extraordinary treasure manifesting in the world.

In another direction, Sloppy Old Daoist was in meditation when he was abruptly awakened by this Spirit Qi fluctuation. He turned pale and flew out of his cave mansion.

Even though the fluctuation disappeared immediately, he could still determine that it originated from Wang Hong's cave mansion.

Upon seeing this, he dismissed many thoughts. Others might not know, but he had seen such a Spirit Qi fluctuation once before.

Many years ago, a Spiritual Herb had emitted a similar Spirit Qi fluctuation, though far less intense than what he had just sensed. Initially, over a dozen Golden Core cultivators had fought over it, but later, Nascent Soul ancestors and even fourth-tier Demonic Beasts were drawn to it.

Afterward, the Golden Core cultivators had nothing to do with it anymore, so they distanced themselves and observed the grand battle among Nascent Soul cultivators.

Treasures of this caliber must never be revealed, or else Yunxia Mountain might be in grave danger.

Fortunately, this fluctuation had appeared only once and then disappeared. Thinking of this, Sloppy Old Daoist flew into the sky and shouted, "The East Master is practicing a secret technique. Everyone, don't be alarmed. Disperse and don't disturb the East Master's cultivation."

When it came to knowledge, experience, and seniority, Sloppy Old Daoist was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable on Yunxia Mountain.

He had been a Golden Core cultivator from the very beginning of the Qingxu Sect. In contrast, the others were cultivated by Wang Hong later on, with most of them having little experience of their own in the Cultivation World.

Therefore, Sloppy Old Daoist's explanation was accepted without question by everyone.

Inside the Space, Wang Hong placed the Fo-Ti Root into a Jade Box, which he sealed with numerous talismans.

Still feeling uneasy, he left the Jade Box inside the Space and exited alone. Then, he activated all ten layers of the cave mansion's Large Formation.

He had put a lot of effort into setting up the formation for this cave mansion.

The formation had a total of ten layers, and normally, only one layer would be activated, which was sufficient for daily use.

Now, he activated all ten layers, and he watched as the low-quality Spirit Stones maintaining the Large Formation were quickly depleted, turning into ashes.

With a bit of reluctance, he took out more than a hundred medium-quality Spirit Stones and replaced them to sustain the Large Formation.

Only then did he re-enter the Space. He didn't dare to take the whole piece with him; instead, he cut a thin slice from the top and brought it out of the Space.
