Chapter 1593: Chapter 1593: Or What?
As soon as Zhuang Ping’an and the others entered North Abyss Misty Plain, they noticed that the Power of Laws was exceptionally chaotic, making the operation of their Cultivation Technique much more difficult, and the recovery speed of Qi was considerably slower.
However, they didn’t pay much attention to it initially. It was only after listening to Ye Lanfeng’s words that they realized that the closer they get to the Heavenly Curtain, the worse this situation would become, so they naturally didn’t delay any longer.
The group pulled themselves together and, despite exhaustion, continued walking forward.
Seeing the group’s determination, Ye Lanfeng revealed a gratified smile at the corner of his mouth.
Experiencing North Abyss Misty Plain not only hardens their muscles and meridians but also tests their will. Only in this way can they hope to enter the Heavenly Curtain and obtain the inheritance left by those powerful cultivators.
This precisely is the reason why the Holy Master didn’t directly transport them to the Heavenly Curtain but wanted them to journey there step by step.
Unknowingly, a whole day passed, and night fell as the group arrived under a mountain range.
Even though the mist clung thickly in North Abyss Misty Plain, the vegetation on the mountain thrived lushly, emitting a faint, soul-soothing fragrance.
"Yusilan Heart Grass, it’s Yusilan Heart Grass!" one young man suddenly shouted in surprise.
Following his gaze, they saw a patch of vibrant green grass swaying gently in the breeze, with leaves adorned with delicate jadesque veins.
Everyone was invigorated. The truth is, not all Medicinal Herbs need to be refined into an Elixir; some possess pure medicinal properties and can be extremely potent without Alchemy. Yet, these herbs are exceptionally rare, and only about a dozen exist on the Holy Court Continent.
Yusilan Heart Grass is one of these. While it doesn’t help in advancing cultivation, it can replenish Qi in the shortest time, far surpassing the effects of any Elixir. However, this herb is so rare that it’s typically priceless and much more valuable than standard Elixirs.
The group was fatigued, and upon seeing this rare Qi Refilling herb, they naturally felt exhilarated.
The young man, overwhelmed with excitement, hurried over to the Yusilan Heart Grass but recalled Ye Lanfeng’s earlier warning: Indeed, everything you see may be an illusion created by the mist, not necessarily a reality; sometimes, what seems harmless might lead to a deadly abyss step forward.
Startled, he paused, seeking Ye Lanfeng’s guidance with his eyes.
"There is no danger ahead," Ye Lanfeng assured.
The young man was overjoyed and reached to pick the Yusilan Heart Grass, but Ye Lanfeng quickly added, "If you wish to die, feel free to consume the Yusilan Heart Grass."
The young man’s hand quivered in fear, swiftly retracting, casting a puzzled glance at Ye Lanfeng.
"These herbs born in North Abyss Misty Plain contain chaotic medicinal power like Heaven and Earth Rules. Except for a few rare varieties, most are inedible, lest..." Ye Lanfeng explained.
"Lest what?" the young man pursued further.
Ye Lanfeng drew his Longsword and lightly touched the Yusilan Heart Grass, slowly injecting a trace of Holy Saint Gang Qi into it. Suddenly, with a bang, the grass exploded into dust without leaving a trace of its sap, and the spot where it stood was blown out into a half-foot-wide pit.
"Lest this occurs," Ye Lanfeng concluded.
Everyone gasped in shock, especially the young man who broke into a cold sweat. Though the explosion wasn’t powerful, if it erupted within the internal organs, it would be irrevocable; even if he survived, his Qi Sea would likely be destroyed.
"Of course, exceptions exist just as a Desolate Storm can appear but open an Illusion Realm by chance. North Abyss Misty Plain might nurture Medicinal Herbs with complete and balanced Laws; if you can discern them, they pose no harm and greatly benefit cultivation," Ye Lanfeng comforted, noticing their pale faces.
"How can one discern them?" Zhuang Ping’an asked instinctively.
"Once you’ve developed sufficiently strong Divine Sense, you can naturally discern them," Ye Lanfeng replied.
"Can you discern them, Lord Ye?" Zhuang Ping’an inquired.
"Some can be, but most cannot," Ye Lanfeng shook his head.
Zhuang Ping’an and the others fell silent, recognizing that even Ye Lanfeng, a Sword Saint Realm expert, versed in Qi Cultivation Realm, could only identify a few—there was no hope for them.
"Then, what’s with the Moon Shadow Orchid?" Mu Hanyan curiously asked, referring to the strange flowers and herbs that Gong Hongru implored Feng Qingyu to gather, allowing her to early comprehend the Divine Continent’s Heaven and Earth Rules and serenely overcome peril.
"Moon Shadow Orchid is an anomaly, rumored to have emerged with the world’s dawn, apt to thrive anywhere. It’s unfazed by North Abyss Misty Plain’s chaotic Power of Laws and uniquely holds two Law Powers. Many Sword Saint Realm experts venture to North Abyss Misty Plain seeking this Orchid."
Yet it sprouts once a millennia, roots in another, grows leaves in another, totaling eons to mature. Thus, it’s incredibly rare, and many Sword Saint Realm cultivators search their entire life, risking everything but finding nothing," Ye Lanfeng explained.
Mu Hanyan finally understood the rarity of Moon Shadow Orchid. Gong Hongru’s past efforts seemed understated; who knows what scale of energy and risks were involved, much less aided by Feng Qingyu and that unsavory fat man.
Recalling this, Mu Hanyan felt even more grateful towards Gong Hongru and Feng Qingyu.
"Let’s find a place to rest overnight. North Abyss Misty Plain, though fraught with peril, offers ample opportunities. Finding a self-formed Array by nature could shield against the Power of Law, greatly aiding your Qi recovery and strength enhancement," Ye Lanfeng said.
"Wait." Mu Hanyan suddenly approached the spot where the Yusilan Heart Grass had exploded, reaching out.
The group suddenly noticed that despite the explosion scattering these grasses, one remained resiliently swaying in the breeze, precisely the one Mu Hanyan reached for.
Although aware of the explosion’s minimal threat, Mu Hanyan’s action instinctively tightened their hearts, curious about her intent with this grass.
"Han Yan, what are you doing?" Ye Lanfeng wondered, confused.
