Refining the Mountains and Rivers
Chapter 448 – Great Curse Art
With the jade box as the medium for the sealed s.p.a.ce, the interior was a mountain valley that wasn’t too large. The edges of the s.p.a.ce were extremely stable; it was clear that they were reinforced when the seal was first placed down. A light medicinal fragrance spread out. This mountain valley was actually a medicine garden.
The medicine garden was only several acres in size but the climate within was quite complex. Looking at one side, flowers bloomed all over, with lush verdant green gra.s.s springing up from the ground. But if one looked in another direction they would see white snow covering the ground and cold weather in the air. Carefully looking around, this mountain valley encompa.s.sed the climates of all four seasons. Without accident, these complex environments should have been formed in order to create the most suitable growing habitat for spirit plants.
Each section of the medicine garden was divided into fields that were covered in spells to isolate the internal climate within. At the same time, this ensured that the various pollens wouldn’t mix in large quant.i.ties to prevent the degradation of the spirit plant properties.
The jade box’s sealed s.p.a.ce had a medicine garden hidden within; no one had ever expected this.
Qin Yu secretly sighed. He used his divine sense to open the spells on the first medicine field section. A rich smell of medicinal fragrance immediately gushed out. Just by glancing around, he could see darkscar orchids, strawleaf gra.s.s, thousandstar seeds, moonswinging flowers…all sorts of rare spirit plants, all of them the top quality of top quality spirit plants. None of them had a low value! And the most important aspect was that many of these spirit plants had long since vanished from the common world. They were treasures that one couldn’t purchase no matter how many spirit stones they had.
Medicine garden…medicine garden…Qin Yu’s thoughts turned and his eyes brightened. He was too occupied to keep looking at these spirit plants anymore. His divine sense immediately scattered outwards.
Soon, Qin Yu was overjoyed. His divine sense covered a spirit plant near the center of this medicine field. It was around a foot tall and the stem was as thick as a knuckle. It looked like old skin that was full of cracks and filled with the aura of endless years.
Leaves like lotuses, branches like a plum flower, the exposed roots were right…yes, if he wasn’t wrong, this should be a lotus plum white.
Yes, this was an extremely simple and straightforward name. It was said that the person who first discovered this spirit plant was just far too lazy to give it a good name, so they simply named it after its direct characteristics.
But at this time, Qin Yu didn’t have the thoughts to care about why this spirit plant had such a strange name. His divine sense moved and the lotus plum white vanished in thin air. In the next moment it appeared in Qin Yu’s hand in the outside world. He looked down and carefully observed it, smelling the sweet scent that the branches and leaves emitted. Qin Yu happily smiled. This was because the lotus plum white was one of the 36 soul treasures he needed to build the altar to have the Soul Summoning Bell recognize a master.
While the medicine garden wasn’t too large, it was divided into several dozen medicine fields of varying sizes. So far he had only opened one, and he had already found the lotus plum white he needed; perhaps there was even more.
Without any hesitation, Qin Yu’s divine sense entered the medicine garden once more. When he opened up the fourth medicine field, he indeed found another harvest.
Shua –
In the next moment a vine appeared in his hands with little blue flowers blooming on it. The flowers were like small bells. With a touch of the hand they instantly closed and released a psychedelic aura.
Thousand illusion blueflower vine!
This was a second type of soul treasure needed to refine the altar.
In the ninth medicine field he found icesoul cold silk. This type of spirit plant that resembled silk only grew in the bitterest cold environments. It had an extremely high requirement for the climate.
In the 16th medicine field, he found a snake orchid.
22nd medicine field…
An hour later, Qin Yu had searched through the entire medicine garden. Unexpectedly he had found nine types of soul treasures needed to refine the altar, a quarter of the total number of items he needed! This could truly be regarded as unintentional actions bringing unexpected success. He never thought that after delaying for over a month to treat and heal Ning Liang, he would actually find such a ma.s.sive harvest.
After a moment of pleasant surprise, Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. He discovered that his thoughts from before had veered off into the wrong direction. Yes, these 36 soul treasures were precious and scarce, but within the vast and boundless Land of Divinity and Demons there were bound to be a certain number of these soul treasures that existed.
It was just that everyone knew they were incomparably precious and their number was incredibly low, so they wouldn’t easily offer them. If he only tried to buy them with spirit stones, even in four months he wouldn’t necessarily have had any harvests. But now, Qin Yu seemed to have found a shortcut.
When he treated Ning Liang, while he never expected to receive any rewards from the Ning Family, the reality was that he did obtain a great harvest. Then, could he receive alchemy requests from the outside and state the reward as the remaining 27 soul treasures?
With the little blue lamp in hand and in addition to having swallowed Grandmaster Yao’s soul, his alchemy skills had been greatly strengthened. He believed he could refine the vast majority of pills in this world.
In other words, this was a possible road he could take! And if things proceeded smoothly, he really might be able to collect all the treasures he needed in four months and complete the task of having the Soul Summoning Bell recognize a master.
You idiot, how come you didn’t think of this before?
The truth was that Qin Yu hadn’t clearly recognized his own strength. He subconsciously thought that in the Land of Divinity and Demons where there were countless powerhouses all around, the standards for alchemy would also rise accordingly and his strength would be insufficient to collect treasures using this method.
