“This is amazing!”
Seeing the scene before him, Xie Wuyou could not help but gape. His eyes were filled with unprecedented surprise and shock.
At this moment, he felt that his understanding had been completely subverted.
To think Tushan Ruoruo could ripen a Lesser God-level herb. How heaven-defying was this power?
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a weak little girl could do such a thing.
Although he was shocked, the excitement in Xie Wuyou’s heart was also quite strong.
Whoosh!
As Tushan Ruoruo performed the divine technique of Graft, the natural source and essence of the twelve Lesser God-level herbs started to flow into the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb.
Gradually, the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb began to mature at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was a top-notch Lesser God-level herb! If they brought it back and presented it to the Qingshan Great God, it would surely be a great merit.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Xie Wuyou was.
“Ruoruo, this… How long will it take?” He rubbed his hands and asked carefully.
n
It might take more than an hour for the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb to fully mature. Uncle Jie, stay guard, and don’t let anything disturb me.”
“Alright.”
Xie Wuyou nodded heavily. He concentrated on his surroundings and became alert.
Just like that, under the effect of Tushan Ruoruo’s divine technique, the purple mist shrouding the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb grew thicker and thicker.
Whoosh!
In the end, the purple light that bloomed turned into a dazzling pillar of light that soared into the sky.
At the same time, waves of mysterious fragrance swept out like floodwaters.
“Shit!”
Seeing this sudden phenomenon, Xie Wuyou’s expression changed drastically. His eyes revealed a strong sense of worry.
All natural treasures would give rise to phenomena when they matured. The more precious the treasure, the greater the disturbance of the phenomenon.
Now, the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb was about to mature and such a phenomenon had suddenly erupted. If it attracted mutant beasts or cultivators, they would most certainly be in danger.
Thinking of this, Xie Wuyou did not dare to hesitate and immediately took out a mysterious yellow paper from his pocket.
It was the God-summoning Paper.
High Priest Tushan Cangyue had given him, Wu Huan, Feng Changqing, Tushan Mang, and the others one each to use in emergencies.
Xie Wuyou had always treasured this item and was reluctant to use it. However, the situation was critical. With just the power of him and Tushan Ruoruo, if something unexpected happened, they wouldn’t be able to defend the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb at all.
Therefore, he had to ask the High Priest for help.
[High Priest, I’m Xie Wuyou. Ruoruo and 1 have found a top-notch Lesser God-level herb, the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb, 30,000 miles east of the Spirit Ruins.]
[The Nine Revolutions Revival Herb is about to mature, and a phenomenon has occurred. 1 am worried that it will cause an accident. Please send someone to support us.]
Whoosh!
After checking that there were no mistakes, Xie Wuyou immediately ignited the God-summoning Paper and it turned into a golden light that disappeared into the vast void.
“Hopefully, the High Priest and the others will be able to arrive in time. Otherwise…”
Xie Wuyou was full of worries. He focused all his attention on the surroundings and prayed that nothing unexpected would happen.
Unfortunately, this place was in the Spirit Ruins, and the phenomenon emitted by the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb was extremely intense. It was impossible to hide it and unrealistic to hope not to attract attention.
Whoosh!
Just as the purple gas from the Nine Revolutions Revival Herb soared into the sky, a simple and unadorned green ship was sailing at a moderate pace a hundred miles away from Xie Wuyou and Tushan Ruoruo.
There were two figures on it.
One of them was a tall, white-robed young man with an extraordinary aura. He was sitting cross-legged on the deck of the ship, playing chess while leisurely sipping tea. His expression was extremely satisfied.
Behind him was a black-clothed middle-aged man with his hands behind his back. The man had a square face and exuded an unyielding aura. Just by standing there, he gave off an indomitable aura. His deep eyes gazed into the void.
“Eh?”
All of a sudden, the black-clothed man seemed to have discovered something. His sharp eyes suddenly looked toward the east a hundred miles away.
When he saw the purple gas soaring into the sky, his fierce eyes suddenly widened and lit up.
“Young Master Yang, look over there! In the east, a hundred miles away, purple clouds are soaring into the sky. There is also a strange fragrance permeating the air. I’m afraid that a natural treasure has appeared.”
He raised his hand and pointed at the void in the distance.
Hearing this, the white-clothed young man who was sipping tea and playing chess immediately looked over. His bright eyes narrowed slightly.
“A treasure aura and purple mist is soaring into the air. It should be a Lesser God-level herb. To be able to produce such a huge phenomenon, that Lesser God-level herb must be extraordinary. Its quality has likely reached the limit of a Lesser God-level herb.”
The white-robed young man’s eyes shone with a divine light.
“Uncle Yan, let’s go over and take a look,” He said to the biack-robed man without turning his head.
However, the black-clothed middle-aged man simply frowned and did not carry out his order.
“Young Master Yang, before we left, the High Priest had repeatedly instructed us not to meddle in other people’s business on this trip to the Spirit Ruins’ Immemorial Divine Well. We can only watch and not interfere in anything. Otherwise, it will definitely invite disaster and we will find ourselves in a life-and-death situation,” The black-clothed man said in a serious voice.
His name was Yan Qingshan. He was born into a large family in the eastern region. He was the guardian of the family’s ninth young master, Shang Yang.
This time, his duty was to protect Shang Yang.
As the High Priest had strictly instructed him not to meddle in other people’s business, Yan Qingshan had to abide by his duties.
Even if a top-notch Lesser God-level herb appeared in the distance, they could not go against the High Priest’s orders.
He was worried that if they got involved, they would attract trouble.
“Hehe…”
Facing Yan Qingshan’s stubbornness and worry, Shang Yang smiled indifferently.
“Uncle Yan, we’re just going over to take a look. As long as we don’t get involved, there shouldn’t be any danger. Besides, with the Zhurong family’s great reputation, why should we be afraid of anyone in the eastern region?”
Shang Yang was calm and composed, a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
No. Young Master Yang, the High Priest has instructed…”
“Uncle Yan, I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. To be honest, before we left, the High Priest once said something to me. Flourish where there is a great mountain, great fortune is in the east. Now, I have already comprehended the meaning of the latter half of the sentence,” Shang Yang said with a smile.
Flourish where there is a great mountain, great fortune is in the east?
Hearing this, Yan Qingshan was shocked.
“Young Master Yang, is this the High Priest’s advice to you?”
“Yes. Before I left, the High Priest said that as long as 1 could comprehend the profoundness of this sentence, I will have a great future. If I can’t, I will die. Now, I’ve already comprehended the meaning of the second half of the sentence. As for the first half, 1 still don’t have any clues.”
At this point, Shang Yang’s cold face revealed a hint of worry.
“Young Master Yang, may 1 ask what the High Priest meant by the second half of his sentence?”
“Oh, 1 was just guessing. Uncle Yan, according to my guess, the so-called ‘great fortune is in the east’ that the High Priest mentioned is either referring to a specific surname or a specific direction. Ever since we left the Zhurong family, we didn’t see anyone with the surname Dongfang on our way here. But now, we’ve seen the phenomenon of the Lesser God-level herb. Uncle Yan, look, where is that Lesser God-level herb?”
Direction?
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingshan’s eyes swept across the void in front of him, and a hint of divine light flashed in his eyes.
“Right east?” He asked in bewilderment.
“That’s right, it’s in the east! According to my guess, when the High Priest said ■good fortune is in the east’, he meant that the direction of the east will bring good fortune. As long as we are in the east or head east, there will be no danger,” Shang Yang pondered and said.
“Then what does the first half of the sentence mean?”
“Well, I can’t figure it out either.”
He shook his head.
“Sigh, the High Priest is really too much. He has already seen through it, but he won’t say it straight out, forcing people to guess,” Yan Qingshan complained.
Hearing this, Shang Yang also revealed a bitter smile.
“The High Priest naturally has his reasons for doing this. If I can comprehend all the mysteries of ‘flourish where there is a great mountain, great fortune is in the east’, I will be able to live a glorious life. If I can’t, I will die. I am currently on the edge of life and death. If 1 take a wrong step, 1 will be consigned to eternal damnation.”
Shang Yang’s expression was solemn.
Yan Qingshan’s expression was the same.
“Young Master Yang, do we really have to go?”
“Yes, let’s go take a look. As long as we don’t get involved, there should be no problem.”
With that, they were prepared to head east a hundred miles away.
Whoosh!
It was also at this moment that a streak of azure mystic light tore through the void and headed east with a monstrous force before they did.
It was an ancient bronze palace that was extremely majestic, emitting a vast and desolate aura.
“That’s… The Tushan family of Lingnan?”
Looking at the bronze palace that tore through the air, Yan Qingshan frowned..
