Chapter 50: Saint’s Body Radiant Repose
After that, Yue Ling took her time guiding Lang Tian around the cavern, pointing out one rare herb after another, her voice calm and patient as always. She named them with ease, her tone filled with subtle excitement.
"This one here is Dragon Soul Grass. And over there, that’s Heart-Severing Grass... careful not to touch the roots."
Lang Tian followed close behind, wide-eyed. This entire underground cave was like a hidden paradise for alchemists. It was lush, glowing with life, and overflowing with spiritual vitality.
In addition to the Nine-Leaf White Spirit Flower they had discovered earlier, the place was filled with other rare and wondrous treasures: slender stalks of Dragon Soul Grass; patches of Celestial Star Bliss Grass; clusters of Purple Leaf Spirit Blossoms. Even the dreaded Heart-Severing Grass, a poisonous herb infamous for being used in assassination pills, was growing in abundance along the darker crevices of the valley wall.
Lang Tian couldn’t believe his eyes. Every few steps revealed something valuable. Just a few sprigs or blossoms from any of these herbs, if sold to the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion or auctioned through the Alchemy Guild in Golden Dragon City, would fetch a fortune, enough spirit stones to fund months, maybe even years, of cultivation!
"Heavens!" Lang Tian couldn’t help but exclaim.
What a pity that he and his senior sister were now trapped in this valley. Otherwise, selling these spiritual herbs would have made him fabulously wealthy!
"Wait... hold on..." He suddenly jolted, realizing something peculiar.
Why could a hidden cave deep within this mountain give rise to such an abundance of rare and priceless spiritual herbs?
What was the cause... the source of this miracle?
