Chapter 221: Chapter 139 – The Shock Brought by Spirit Grass 2
Translator: 549690339
At present, only in a few treasured places like the Dan God Secret Realm can the Longevity Grass grow. As for cultivating it oneself, one would probably die before seeing it mature.
Once the Longevity Grass matures, all of its parts, apart from the fruit, turn white.
Because this spiritual grass mirrors a human’s transformation from young to old, it was named Longevity Grass. The most valuable part is the mature fruit, known as the Longevity Fruit, which serves as the primary ingredient in the Longevity Pill.
Only when combined with other ingredients can its medicinal benefits be brought out, prolonging one’s lifespan.
Hua Yang Zhen Ren stared at this Longevity Grass, his eyes bulging wide with disbelief. He found it hard to believe that a boy at the Qi Refining Eighth Stage could obtain Longevity Grass.
Furthermore, the Longevity Grass only grows in the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden within the Dan God Secret Realm, a garden almost no one has stepped into.
The other Golden Core cultivators also thought of the place where the Longevity Grass grows, their faces immediately showing expressions of astonishment. Based on Lin Yi’s previous words, they all started having some speculations.
It seemed this lad had somehow gained some fortune in the Secret Realm, or perhaps passed some Cave Mansion trial.
Gold Sword Zen Ren just sat calmly in his seat, a faint smile showing on his face.
He remembered upon sending his disciples into the Secret Realm and returning to Golden Sword Peak, his Great Disciple Zhou Yun Feng had once said that Lin Yi was overly cautious, not venturing into dangerous areas. He might not gain much in the Secret Realm, so he should not blame him when the time comes.
Now, it seemed that his Great Disciple had guessed wrong.
Next, Lin Yi opened the second box, revealing the spiritual grass inside. It was a Lingzhi mushroom, half of it was green, and the other half was a pale blue. It looked very beautiful.
At this sight, Gold Sword Zen Ren could no longer maintain his composure. He sprang to his feet, flew to Lin Yi’s side, and gestured with his hand to call out the mushroom.
After examining it carefully, his normally calm face showed a deep happiness.
Drunken Immortal also flew over laughing, “Haha, it’s really a Sky Herb, green and blue dual-colored, a dual-life of water and wood, the best spiritual grass to supplement one’s roots. It’s fully matured. Brother Swordsman, your Great Disciple can be saved.”
Gold Sword Zen Ren nodded his head. Clutching the Sky Herb tightly, he finally found a solution to his Great Disciple Zhou Yun Feng’s problem of damaged foundations that had prevented him from achieving the Golden Core. At last, it could be solved.
He turned to Lin Yi and praised, “Lin Yi, you’ve done an excellent job.”
“Many thanks for Master of Golden Sword Faction’s praise. It’s my duty.” replied Lin Yi with a bow.
“Okay, let’s all return and look at the other spiritual grasses.” Green Jade Zen Ren waved his hand, smiling.
It seems many people had misjudged this Qi Refining Eighth Stage disciple. The precious spiritual grass he brought back was just incredible.
Next, Lin Yi opened the remaining jade boxes one by one. All contained valuable spiritual grasses from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden: a total of seven types, among which were two Longevity Grasses with a total of ten Longevity Fruits, and two Sky Herbs.
The value of the remaining three types of spiritual grass was not inferior to that of the Longevity Grass or the Sky Herb at all.
Looking at the seven precious spiritual grasses, all the Golden Core disciples present showed stunned expressions. Some of the spiritual grasses were ones even they could not obtain easily.
Initially, they assumed that this disciple had gained very little, probably because he was too timid to progress in the secret realm. However, the results were truly surprising.
“Good lad, how did you obtain these seven precious spiritual grasses that all grow in the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden?” Drunken Immortal asked after examining the spiritual grasses.
With a somber face, Hua Yang Zhen Ren spoke. He couldn’t believe that a Qi-refining boy could obtain these spiritual grasses.
Unable to hold back, he asked, “Boy, how exactly did you get these seven spiritual grasses? Explain yourself!”
“Hua Yang Brother, are you interrogating my disciple?” Gold Sword Zen Ren asked lightly, his tone containing a sharp edge that seemed capable of bursting into myriad Sword Qi at any moment.
Feeling the piercing aura of Gold Sword Zen Ren, Hua Yang Zhen Ren quickly waved his hand, “Gold Sword Brother, you’ve misunderstood. I was merely curious about the origins of these precious spiritual grasses, not interrogating your disciple. It’s a misunderstanding.”
Only then did Gold Sword Zen Ren shift his gaze towards Lin Yi and calmly said, “Lin Yi, you can truthfully explain where these spiritual grasses come from, I’m here with you, there will be no problems.”
Upon hearing these words, Hua Yang Zen Ren inwardly cursed, calling him a protective old geezer.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, felt a sense of security. Having someone to protect him really did make a difference.
“Lin Yi, you told us earlier that there was something special about how you acquired these spiritual grasses. Could you elaborate?” Green Jade Zen Ren inquired, revealing his curiosity.
No matter how the Secret Realm was opened, even if it was a full-scale opening this time, it only granted an additional opportunity to challenge the Cave Mansion and Pill Room. The Medicine Garden located deep within the Five Elements Areas remained closed.
Thus, a consensus had been reached among all the sects: the spiritual grasses in the Medicine Garden were for Qi Refining Disciples who had no right to enter the Secret Realm for cultivation.
Yet, now, Lin Yi, at the Qi Refining Eighth Stage, had become the exception.
Lin Yi bowed respectfully and began his narration, “I report to you, Sect Master, and Master of Golden Sword Faction, that these Spiritual Grasses were indeed obtained from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden. I like to study food in my spare time and have taken tasks from the Merit Hall to feed the Spiritual Pets of many Foundation Building Uncles, establishing a certain affinity with the Spiritual Pets.”
“When I reached the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, I saw the Guardian Beast, a Green Giant Python. As I couldn’t enter the Herb Garden, I wondered if I could strengthen my relationship with the Guardian Beast by feeding it. Perhaps there would be some unexpected gains.”
“In the following days, I used the food I brought with me and other food I found in the Secret Realm to feed the Green Giant Python, but at first, it didn’t react.”
“Later, whether it was my sincerity that touched the Python or my food tasting good, I finally got it to start eating…”
“Just like that, I kept feeding it for a few days. When the Rosy Clouds appeared and it was time for us to leave, the Green Giant Python suddenly blocked our path, entered the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, picked these spiritual grasses and gave them to me.”
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s story, all the Golden Core Real Persons present showed surprise. Many disciples from various sects had tried feeding the Guardian Beast of the Medicine Garden during their time in the Secret Realm.
But the Guardian Beast simply ignored them, sometimes even beating those who annoyed it.
Yet, a Qi Refining Eighth Stage disciple like Lin Yi was able to successfully feed it, and it was the coldest and most ruthless Giant Python in the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.
Hua Yang Zhen Ren was about to question him when he suddenly sensed the fierce aura radiating from Gold Sword Zen Ren and promptly closed his mouth. Although he disliked Gold Sword Zen Ren, he was well aware that his strength was far inferior.
Wan Jun Zen Ren, another influential figure of a non-local sect, laughed and said, “I want to clarify that I’m not doubting you. Many disciples have tried to feed the Guardian Beasts in the past, but they all failed.”
“Your success with the icily aloof Green Giant Python strikes me as incredible.” “Lin Yi, you said others were present when we left. Who were they?” Green Jade Zhen Ren asked, concentrating on the key point.
“I report to the sect master, Shen Hao Lin from the Wine Immortal Peak was also present at the time,” Lin Yi replied with a bow.
Drunken Immortal smirked, “This guy was actually with you. I’ll call him in, ” he then called out loud.
Before long, Shen Hao Lin entered Liu Yun Hall. He bowed to the eleven Golden Core Real Persons present. Seeing Lin Yi standing next to him, he understood why he had been called.
“Hao Lin, Lin Yi said the Giant Python guarding the Herb Garden of the Giant Spirit Tree gave him the grasses while you were present. Is this true?” Drunken Immortal asked directly.
Shen Hao Lin bowed and said, “Master, I was indeed there at the time, and I was with Brother Li Yi for five or six days.”
He then began to praise Lin Yi: “His cooking skills are truly unmatched, delicious beyond words. I had the good fortune to eat with him while he was feeding the Spirit Beast during those few days. Even now, I can’t help but recall the taste..”
