218: Chapter 218 The Miraculous Herb That Brings the Dead Back to Life—The Deal Was Too Good to Be Happened
Yue Lan looked up, meeting Cang Yan's serious gaze, and gave a faint 'oh'.
“What about you?” Cang Yan pressed, pulling Yue Lan to the side. “Do you still want revenge?”
“I never needed revenge. My existence is solely for Mistress, unlike you.” Yue Lan's eyes were calm, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “However, I am very curious. Weren't you full of thoughts of revenge before? Why the sudden change of heart?”
“Mistress's space has upgraded, and it is like a fairyland. I want to help Mistress complete her missions and no longer concern myself with past matters.” Cang Yan's gaze was firm. “I am all that is left of the Vermilion Bird clan. Nothing is more important than producing offspring.”
Yue Lan was stunned for a moment, then burst into a belly laugh, completely disregarding his image and ignoring Cang Yan's disdainful look.
“What's going on with you two?”
Sensing gossip, Bai Jiuxiao immediately leaned in, only to be met with a cold glare from Cang Yan. He could only turn back to help, thinking to himself, 'Every single one of them... so what if you're strong? Big deal!'
“Those two have secrets. Don't go over there looking for a scolding,” Ling Feng warned. Li Mingye retracted his gaze. Now that Mistress had more men, they only needed to do their duty, Cultivate diligently to become stronger, and refrain from asking what they shouldn't.
“I'm just curious.”
Bai Jiuxiao disliked how they all had secrets, unlike him.
“Curiosity killed the cat. Besides, you can't beat them in a fight anyway.” Li Mingye's words pierced Bai Jiuxiao's heart. He pouted and went to help aside. With his lively Heart-Nature, was it really so wrong to be curious?
Ling Feng nodded in agreement. He also felt that Bai Jiuxiao was simply too unsettled.
“By the way, have you undergone Beastification into anything?”
Seeing that he couldn't get any gossip out of them, Bai Jiuxiao turned his attention to Li Mingye, who lowered his eyes and said calmly, “No, I am a human. I will undergo Beastification according to Mistress's needs. Right now, the most important thing is to become strong.”
“I suddenly thought of something,”
Ling Feng paused. “Old Six, you can ask Mistress to let you take those spirit cleansing pills to improve your Spiritual Root talent. After all, you are a human, so the spirit cleansing pills will have a better purifying effect on you.”
Li Mingye was startled. Why hadn't he thought of this?
“Are you worried that Mistress won't give them to you?” Seeing his reaction, Ling Feng explained, “Mistress is not that kind of person. She will give them to you.”
“I don't doubt Mistress. I'm just wondering why I didn't think of this method. It's not just me; Xuan Li and you should also be able to take the spirit cleansing pills to improve your innate Spiritual Roots. Even if we can't reach the Heaven Grade like them, we should at least be able to raise them a bit higher.”
...
The silence was deafening; no one dared to criticize the other.
After all, none of them had thought of it.
When Feng Yange came out, a large table of dishes was already set up, including stir-fried, braised, and deep-fried items. The aroma was mouth-watering, but why was it all Ice Jiao meat?
“Mistress, there isn't a single female among the beastmen of the Snow Eagle Tribe. Next time you go out, you must take us with you,” Mo Yuan reminded her. Although they weren't bad, it was better to be on guard.
Only then did Feng Yange remember that the Snow Eagle Beastmen were still standing at the entrance when she returned. Walking out, she found them indeed still there. She whispered some instructions to Mo Yuan, who then walked over to the Snow Eagle Beastmen and dropped dozens of catties of meat. “This is what our Mistress told me to give to your tribe.”
The Snow Eagle Beastmen looked at Feng Yange, and seeing her nod with a smile, walked over to her.
“Thank you for the beast meat. We rarely eat cooked meat like this. Can we buy these things from you?”
Feng Yange was taken aback for a moment. “Sure.”
Feng Yange bought tables and chairs from the mall, along with a large pile of barbecue racks and tools for them. Seeing the shocked gazes of the Snow Eagle Beastmen, she also bought them some clothing patterns.
“Human, I have given it serious thought. What we need are Medicinal Pills to become stronger, as well as life-saving medicine that can heal wounds quickly. How much of that spirit spring water can you give us? I will buy it from you using herbs from the Peak of the Snow Mountain. We can also find the things you want, as long as you sell us a bit more.”
“I want to take eighty percent of the snow lotuses here, but in return, I will give you a book on herbs, teach you which herbs can save lives, and also give you some spirit spring water. Are you willing?”
If she gathered some more snow lotuses, it should be enough for Yun Lin. Transplanting them into her space, she felt that these beastmen did not have an easy life, so teaching them about some medicines could be considered compensation.
“That works. Take as many herbs as you want, we'll trade.”
Feng Yange was relieved now. She would transplant them tomorrow, and while she was at it, see if there were any other rare herbs here to transplant as well.
Feng Yange gave the Snow Eagle Beastmen a storage ring containing ten buckets of spirit spring water, each weighing ten catties. After all, the thing she lacked least in her space was spirit spring water.
Extremely excited, the Snow Eagle Beastmen brought the beast skins they had found to gift to Feng Yange as thanks. They then led her to the Peak of the Snow Mountain to search for herbs. Aside from snow lotuses, the Peak of the Snow Mountain also had thousand-year-old lingzhi, ginseng, and Dengdeng.
Feng Yange also found cordyceps, which were everywhere along the edge of the Peak of the Snow Mountain. She explained the effects of these herbs to them and collected a portion of them.
The Spiritual Qi of the herbs here was exceptionally dense. Even if they couldn't be refined into Medicinal Pills, consuming them would still be of great help to one's Cultivation.
“Milady, what is this?”
The Snow Eagle Beastmen plucked a green herb that shimmered with a greenish-blue aura. Feng Yange took it, and the System's voice rang out, [Host, this is the Soul-Nourishing Ganoderma which can bring the dead back to life. It is one of the main ingredients for refining the nine-turn soul returning pill.]
Feng Yange quickly asked, “This is the Soul-Nourishing Ganoderma. Are there any more?”
“There are just a few over there.”
The Snow Eagle Beastmen pointed to the edge of the distant snow mountain. Feng Yange rushed over, and what met her eyes was an ice-blue herb. [Host, Deer-Reviving Herb. It has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and is also an extremely rare Immortal Plant.]
Feng Yange carefully transplanted the herbs into her space, leaving one of each behind and transplanting the remaining three into her space.
“These two herbs have extraordinary medicinal properties. Keep them for yourself; they have the power to bring the dead back to life.”
The Snow Eagle Beastmen were stunned. To think this human didn't take all of these Immortal Plants.
“Milady, please take them. We can look around the vicinity for more later.”
Feng Yange did not dig them up. Instead, she had Long Ze and the others patrol the surrounding area. No more of these rare Immortal Plants appeared, but they did discover a Spirit Stone mine. The cave was filled with ice-blue Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
“Do you like these stones?”
Seeing Feng Yange staring at these shiny stones, the Snow Eagle Beastmen said, “These kinds of stones are everywhere here. If you like them, feel free to take them. If this isn't enough, I also know a few other places with them—red, purple, and yellow ones can all be found.”
This was hardly the Peak of the Snow Mountain; it was practically the Peak of Spirit Stones.
“These are Spirit Stones, the currency of the Cultivation World. You can also extract the Spiritual Qi inside them to Cultivate. Give it a try.” Feng Yange picked up a Spirit Stone, handed it to the Snow Eagle Beastmen, and demonstrated. The Snow Eagle Beastmen tried, but there was absolutely no reaction.
“You can't absorb this Spiritual Qi?”
Feng Yange was surprised and had the other Snow Eagle Beastmen try as well, but none of them could absorb the Spiritual Qi. Feng Yange then had Cang Yan and the others absorb the Spiritual Qi, and they succeeded, but the Snow Eagle Beastmen still could not.
Suddenly, blue light swirled around Feng Yange's body, and the Spiritual Qi from all the Spirit Stones in the cave gathered and surged into her body. Feng Yange screamed in pain as the ground began to shake.
