Chapter 482 - 479 Xuanbing Cold Flame
Ye Xuan set foot in a mountain range teeming with dense spiritual energy. Everywhere he looked was lush and verdant, and those massive spiritual pillars burst forth from the mountains, shimmering with spiritual light. Sometimes, they even formed Spirit Rain, scattering down like a shower.
Seeing such a scene, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be moved—it was only within such ancient relics that such rich spiritual energy could be found, a sight almost extinct in the outside world.
After searching around the mountain range for a while, Ye Xuan gathered quite a few medicinal herbs. Although these herbs were of mediocre quality, they were ancient, including a Fierce Sun Grass that, despite being Heavenly Grade, was three thousand years old. This maturity made it as valuable as a Supreme Grade herb.
After collecting some herbs, Ye Xuan once again employed the Shennong Qi Observation Skill to search for traces of Spiritual Medicine nearby. Before long, a secluded lake appeared before him, surrounded by a vast plain that stretched for a thousand feet, shielded at the back by steep mountains and flanked on either side by vast, pristine jungles that occasionally revealed fierce Demon Beasts hunting weaker creatures.
The lake, enveloped in thick fog, was indistinct in size, revealing only faint outlines.
"Hmm? Is that Cold Mist Grass, Ice Frost Jade Fruit?"
After dispersing the Demon Beasts around the lake, using the Shennong Qi Observation Skill, Ye Xuan discovered two starkly different herbs growing in the crevices of the rocks by the shore—one was a broad-leafed herb of ice blue color, extraordinarily cold, and the other was an ice blue herb bearing a bizarre fruit that was red and blue, with specks of frost adorning its petals and leaves like tiny white diamonds.
With a gesture, Ye Xuan plucked the two herbs from the soil, which then landed in his hands and were stored inside the Qiankun Ring.
Both Cold Mist Grass and Ice Frost Jade Fruit were Heavenly Grade Peak herbs, but as they were older than a thousand years, their efficacy was only slightly inferior to an Initial Stage Supreme Grade herb. For Martial Artists cultivating Ice Element True Yuan, these were treasures that could enhance their True Yuan. For Ye Xuan, they were of little use, but they were valuable. If auctioned, each could fetch thousands of Spirit Crystals—a tidy sum.
The lake was quite large; walking around its edge took Ye Xuan a full quarter hour. Of course, this quarter hour wasn’t wasted. Ye Xuan acquired five Heavenly Grade Peak medicinal herbs, more than a dozen ordinary Heavenly Grade herbs, and some Ice Element gemstones, all valuable.
These items were worth no less than a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, unquestionably a substantial windfall for Ye Xuan. He knew he had only 30,000 or so Spirit Crystals on him, barely enough to maintain his daily cultivation practices.
