Chapter 1032: The Sacred Fruit of Shennong's Medicine Garden

Chapter 1014: Shen Nong Yao Yuan Sheng Ji Guo

The young man was dressed in a long cyan robe. He had a graceful appearance and an elegant bearing. His eyes were deep, and a faint smile played on the corners of his lips. He stood there casually, yet he gave off a feeling of profoundness, as if he was an ancient tree rooted in the earth.

Around him, the air seemed to shimmer. The leaves on the ancient trees rustled softly, and the medicinal herbs in the distance swayed gently, as if bowing to him.

This person was none other than Jiang Yun.

Since coming to the Southern Mountain Range, Jiang Yun had been wandering alone for nearly three months. Apart from occasionally encountering demon beasts and testing his own cultivation level, he had not encountered anyone else. This had allowed him to practice in peace.

His purpose for coming to the Southern Mountain Range was to temper himself and find the medicinal herbs he needed.

During these three months, not only did his cultivation solidify, but he also improved his understanding of the Demon Sealing Seal, especially the Thousand Illusion Seal.

He could now transform into any form he desired, even if it was a tiny insect. As long as his spiritual energy and physical strength could support it, he could maintain the form for an extended period.

However, this ability was limited to living beings. He could not transform into inanimate objects.

Regarding medicinal herbs, he had also gained a lot. With his current status as a Tier 9 Apothecary and his understanding of the art of herbal medicine, he had found many valuable and rare medicinal herbs in the Southern Mountain Range.

He even managed to concoct a few pills that were beneficial for demonic cultivation, which significantly improved his combat power when fighting demon beasts.

Among all the medicinal herbs, the one he valued the most was the Sheng Ji Guo.

The Sheng Ji Guo was a fruit that grew on a tree and was the size of a baby's fist. It was oval and red. The fruit itself was not particularly remarkable, but it was said that within this Sheng Ji Guo lived an herb spirit.

If one could refine the herb spirit within the Sheng Ji Guo, they could immediately gain an innate talent related to medicinal herbs.

Jiang Yun had already possessed the talent of the "Spirit Eye," which allowed him to see the essence of all living things and discern all kinds of magical formations.

However, the Spirit Eye was given to him by the Dao God of the Dao Realm. It was not his original talent. Therefore, he needed to refine a Sheng Ji Guo and acquire his own inherent talent.

In the Southern Mountain Range, which was known as the "Shen Nong Yao Yuan," the Sheng Ji Guo was not a particularly rare item. However, finding a Sheng Ji Guo that contained an herb spirit was incredibly difficult.

In these three months, Jiang Yun had searched nearly every corner of the Southern Mountain Range, but he had not found any Sheng Ji Guo that contained an herb spirit.

Today, he had arrived at the deepest part of the Southern Mountain Range, the most dangerous area. According to legend, this was where the Sheng Ji Guo tree originated.

"Perhaps, here, I can find a Sheng Ji Guo that contains an herb spirit!"

With this thought in mind, Jiang Yun took a step and continued moving deeper into the Southern Mountain Range.

Along the way, he encountered more powerful demon beasts, but with his increased strength and clever strategies, he managed to defeat them and continue his journey.

After traveling for several more days, he finally reached the origin of the Sheng Ji Guo tree.

It was a massive ancient tree that reached into the clouds. Its roots were deeply embedded in the ground, and its branches were thick and luxuriant. On the branches hung countless red fruits, the Sheng Ji Guo.

Jiang Yun's eyes swept over the Sheng Ji Guo on the tree. He could see the spiritual energy flowing within them, but none of them had the unique aura of an herb spirit.

However, his gaze suddenly stopped on the highest branch of the ancient tree. There, a single Sheng Ji Guo hung, radiating a faint green light.

His eyes lit up. This was it! A Sheng Ji Guo that contained an herb spirit!

Without hesitation, Jiang Yun soared into the sky and flew towards the Sheng Ji Guo.

As he approached, he could feel a strong resistance emanating from the ancient tree, as if it was protecting the Sheng Ji Guo.

But Jiang Yun was determined. He unleashed his full power and pushed through the resistance, finally reaching the branch where the Sheng Ji Guo hung.

He carefully plucked the Sheng Ji Guo and held it in his hand. He could feel the vibrant life force within it.

With the Sheng Ji Guo in hand, Jiang Yun landed back on the ground. He sat down cross-legged and prepared to refine the herb spirit within the Sheng Ji Guo.

He took a deep breath and circulated his spiritual energy. He placed the Sheng Ji Guo on his palm and began to refine it.

As the refinement process began, the Sheng Ji Guo emitted a faint green light. Gradually, the light became stronger and stronger, illuminating the surrounding area.

A small figure appeared within the Sheng Ji Guo. It was a tiny, radiant green entity, the herb spirit.

The herb spirit looked around with curiosity, its eyes sparkling. When it saw Jiang Yun, it let out a soft cry and flew towards him.

Jiang Yun smiled. He opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing the herb spirit into his body.

The herb spirit merged with his spiritual energy and flowed throughout his meridians. He could feel a warm sensation spreading throughout his body, and a sense of profound connection with the world of medicinal herbs.

When the refinement process was complete, Jiang Yun opened his eyes. His eyes were now even brighter, and he felt a surge of power within him.

He knew that he had successfully refined the herb spirit and acquired his own inherent talent related to medicinal herbs.

He stood up and stretched. He could feel the difference. His senses were sharper, and he could understand the properties of medicinal herbs more deeply.

With his new talent, Jiang Yun was confident that he could improve his apothecary skills to an even higher level.

He smiled and looked up at the ancient Sheng Ji Guo tree. He bowed respectfully, thanking it for bestowing upon him such a precious gift.

Then, he turned and began his journey back, ready to face new challenges and explore the full potential of his new talent.
