The backyard herb garden.
The spiritual energy here was significantly richer.
A faint white mist, visible to the naked eye, was actually spiritual energy so dense it had condensed into fog.
Taking a deep breath, one felt refreshed and invigorated.
On all four sides of the herb garden stood four bronze dragons.
Their dragon eyes glowed, giving the impression that they were about to break through the void and ascend.
"Such rich spiritual energy!"
I exclaimed in surprise.
If I could cultivate here, I felt my cultivation could advance much faster.
"Yes! The spiritual energy here is so dense, even more so than at our Qingcheng Mountain,"
Xia Qiuxi added.
Old Mo had already run into the herb garden:
"Damn, so many herbs. Isn't this Chonglou? Huh! Is this ginseng?"
Old Mo said happily, pointing at the herbs within.
And herbs grown under such dense spiritual energy would surely have potent medicinal effects.
My master, however, narrowed his eyes at this moment, gazing at the four bronze dragons.
Finally, he spoke:
"Could this be the Four Dragons Spirit Gathering Array?"
"It looks like it!"
Yun Xiagu added.
Uncle Tang, however, was nonchalant:
"Whatever array it is, let's grab some herbs to replenish ourselves first.
Breathing and cultivating here for a night to recover our strength and injuries is the most important thing!"
With that, Uncle Tang, like Old Mo, ran straight into the herb garden.
But I, standing nearby, was curious about this "Four Dragons Spirit Gathering Array" my master mentioned.
So I asked:
"Master, what is the Four Dragons Spirit Gathering Array?"
My master heard my question and smiled:
"It's a type of formation that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
These four bronze dragons should have special runes on them.
And those eyes, they should also be crystals or precious gems that can gather spiritual energy.
Through the runes of the formation, all the spiritual energy in the mountains is gathered here."
Hearing this, my heart stirred.
I hadn't expected that the dense spiritual energy here was actually drawn by a magical array.
Daoist magic is profound, and this array is even more miraculous.
To be able to gather spiritual energy through a few bronze dragons, one can see the power of the person who set up this array.
I really wanted to move it back and place it in the backyard of the Wanfu Hall.
"Old Fool, Yunxia, come quickly. There's White Leaf Grass here too..."
When Master and Yunxia heard this, their expressions changed.
They rushed towards the herb garden.
I followed.
I saw Uncle Tang pulling a white herb from the herb garden.
It looked like chives, but the leaves were white, relatively long, and somewhat like orchid leaves.
My masters' eyes lit up upon seeing it.
"This is a treasure!"
"Indeed, a potent medicine for external wounds. It's very difficult to cultivate."
My master and Yunxia said in unison.
Their eyes were filled with affection for this herb.
I stood by, feeling somewhat out of place.
Because I didn't recognize any of these herbs.
But at this moment, Xia Qiuxi approached me.
Her complexion was no longer as pale as before; clearly, the snake venom was not as potent as it had been.
She glanced at me:
"So many precious herbs, none that you like?"
Hearing this, I gave a wry smile.
It wasn't that I didn't like them, but I barely recognized any of these herbs.
"Not really.
I hardly recognize any of these herbs..."
Xia Qiuxi, however, pursed her lips and smiled:
"I'll introduce them to you..."
I was stunned for a moment.
Xia Qiuxi nodded seriously.
Seeing that someone was teaching me, I naturally didn't refuse.
Xia Qiuxi led me, starting with the first herb with red flowers and red leaves:
"This is Red Leaf Flower.
After consumption, it can enhance Fire attribute Dao Qi."
I looked on with surprise, not expecting there to be herbs that could enhance elemental Dao Qi.
I examined it carefully for a while.
Xia Qiuxi continued to introduce the others.
I also diligently learned and remembered.
After all, having entered this path, I would inevitably have to deal with these strange herbs in the future.
If they were ever needed, I wouldn't be clueless.
In the ten square meter herb garden, more than twenty varieties of herbs were planted, all unique.
I also managed to memorize the names and appearances of these herbs.
Finally, our masters ordered us to harvest all these herbs and take them back tomorrow.
At the same time, they directly took some of the herbs and had us eat them raw or use them to bandage our wounds.
They said it could quickly heal our injuries.
After we finished this.
We had filled two large bags.
The harvest was bountiful; these spirit herbs were extremely precious.
Their market value was calculated in the seven figures.
And they were the kind that were priceless.
After treating our wounds, everyone began to meditate, cultivate, or rest near the four bronze dragons.
Having experienced a night of life-and-death battle, everyone was exhausted.
More or less, everyone had internal injuries.
If they weren't cultivators with Dao, and their physiques far superior to ordinary people, they probably wouldn't have been able to stand.
I meditated and cultivated for a while, feeling a bit more true qi in my dantian, and then leaned against the wall to rest.
I was too tired.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
Upon opening my eyes, I saw that Master, Uncle Tang, Yunxia, and Xia Qiuxi were all meditating.
Their breathing was even, and spiritual energy continuously flowed into their bodies.
Especially my master, I noticed that not only was he absorbing spiritual energy, but his body was also emitting a faint Dao Qi.
It rippled outward in waves.
He seemed to be breaking through?
