Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 817 - 310: A Heart-Pounding Journey with Bu

Chapter 817: Chapter 310: A Heart-Pounding Journey with Bu

"Hey, I must say, Yun Sheng, you’re way too serious; you’re making me nervous. No matter who it is, let’s quickly find the Divine Artifact," Cheng Bai said, getting goosebumps from Yun Sheng’s demeanor.

Beyond the Demon Beast Corridor lies the Taiyuan Flower Garden.

According to the Jade Tablet, the Taiyuan Flower Garden was built by the Taiyuan City Lord to commemorate his deceased beloved consort. It’s a garden within the city, planted with numerous rare and exotic herbs, including some Holy-grade and even Divine-grade Medicinal Herbs that are rarely seen on the continent.

Seeing this, the eyes of those from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion and the Magic Temple lit up with fervor.

Holy-grade, and even Divine-grade Medicinal Herbs—this trip is worthwhile even if they don’t find the Divine Artifact.

"Tsk, this castle is enormous, even more extravagant than the Imperial Palace. Just the living quarters alone have so many rooms," as they proceeded further, the sheer number of living quarters prompted the group to start complaining.

Forget finding a Divine Artifact; just exploring all these living quarters would take at least a day.

Despite their complaints, they still needed to find the Divine Artifact.

Beyond the many living quarters lies the core area of Taiyuan Castle, the City Lord’s Hall.

Divided into regions, the City Lord’s Hall is split into the Inner Hall and the Outer Hall. The Outer Hall was where the Taiyuan City Lord used to discuss important matters, akin to a council chamber.

The Inner Hall was the sleeping quarters of the Taiyuan City Lord.

Seeing this, the leaders of the major factions secretly thought to themselves, "The Divine Artifact might be in the Inner Hall."

Besides the Inner Hall, the most unique part of Taiyuan Castle is the Underground Palace.

The Underground Palace is a special mausoleum that the Taiyuan City Lord built for himself to be buried in after his death.

Before the mysterious incident occurred in Taiyuan City, the Underground Palace had been unused.

By now, the structure of Taiyuan Castle has become quite clear.

Several leaders are still deep in thought.

"I have a suggestion. After passing through the Taiyuan Flower Garden, why don’t we each choose a target for our respective factions? As for who finds the Divine Artifact, that will depend on each of our abilities," Ru Yi suggested.

Upon entering the Taoyuan Ruins, especially after entering the Taiyuan City Lord’s Mansion, all the leaders of the major factions are keenly aware that the real contest is just starting.

Earlier, entering Taiyuan Mountain was merely a contest against Demon Beasts and the harsh environment. But now, it’s a contest against humans.

The most terrifying thing in this world is humans.

The map lies at the entrance; with Taiyuan Castle being so large, whoever finds the Divine Artifact first will be the winner.

Including Lan and Dugu Xiu, the others also agreed with Ru Yi’s proposal.

Though they each search on their own, everyone has a common goal: a significant object like a Divine Artifact is most likely hidden in an important place like the City Lord’s Hall.

Each faction sent one person to copy the map. The Demon Beast Corridor and the Taiyuan Flower Garden are part of a straight path. However, according to the map, once they navigate through the garden, they’ll encounter winding corridors leading to numerous living quarters.

Reaching the end of the corridor, Yun Sheng furrowed his brow, while several people from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion let out cheers of joy.

A fragrant aroma of Medicinal Herbs wafted towards them.

Despite being untended for five hundred years, the indoor garden within Taiyuan Castle still thrives gloriously.

The secret lies in a massive Four Elements Magic Array at the center of the garden. This Magic Array incorporates the Magic Elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.

The Four Elements Magic Array is a very ancient magic array, and the knowledge of its construction has long been lost.

It keeps the garden’s temperature, humidity, soil fertility, and air circulation in optimal states, preserving the Medicinal Herbs and flowers in peak condition.

"That’s Seven-leaf Purple Ginseng,"

"A Holy-grade Jade Snow Lotus,"

"And Golden Arrow Pine,"

Faced with so many rare and exotic herbs, not just those from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, but even some accompanying Martial Artists and Mages rushed forward.

They recklessly gathered those precious Medicinal Herbs.

"Yun Sheng, there’s no problem with these Medicinal Herbs. Snake Brilliance Tutor needs some Jade Snow Lotus, so I’ll go gather some," Qi Ye wanted to gather some, knowing these Medicinal Herbs were priceless.

Qi Ye was confident that these were not poisonous.

"Wait," Yun Sheng pulled Qi Ye back. "Don’t forget about the Taiyuan Tree."

Yun Sheng could also see that the Medicinal Herbs were not poisonous, as their color and aroma were no different from the herbs she had seen on the continent before.

But recalling the Taiyuan Tree’s experience before departure, Yun Sheng dared not act rashly.

The Taiyuan City Lord was not only a Summoner but also had unique expertise in Medicinal Herbs and poisons. Such a man would not set up such a grand Magic Array just to commemorate a woman by building the Taiyuan Flower Garden.

"Ah—"

A miserable scream interrupted Yun Sheng and Qi Ye.

A Doctor from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion was picking a Seven-leaf Purple Ginseng, but as soon as he touched the Ginseng, his hand turned into a puddle of pus.

The speed was like being corroded by concentrated sulfuric acid, disintegrating instantaneously.

Not just him, several Martial Artists and Mages screamed, collapsing to the ground as their limbs, upon touching those herbs, turned into corrosive liquid, quickly consuming their bodies alive.

"Come back, no one is allowed to move recklessly," the faction leaders immediately ordered their subordinates to stay away from the Medicinal Herbs.

Qi Ye was taken aback, his limbs instantly icy cold. If Yun Sheng hadn’t pulled him away just in time, he might have... 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Damn it, this is utterly insane. What are these cursed things?" Cheng Bai wiped cold sweat off his brow. He had almost considered digging up a Ginseng to use as Ginseng wine for his old man back home.

This was a life-and-death moment; he was almost reduced to liquid.

"What on earth happened? These Medicinal Herbs clearly aren’t poisonous," the leader of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion lamented. Just now, most of those who went herb-picking were from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, with about three or four Doctors corroded by these ’poison’ flowers. The Magic Temple also lost two Mages to this.

The other factions fared slightly better, with no more than two fatalities.

This seemingly beautiful garden instantly turned as terrifying as a Chaotic Burial Mound.

Yun Sheng walked to a puddle of pus and examined the color before sniffing the scent.

"The Medicinal Herbs aren’t poisonous. Earlier, these people all touched those Purple Gold Statues. If I’m not mistaken, the problem lies in those Demon Beast Purple Gold Statues. They must have been coated with something that, once encountered with these Medicinal Herbs in the garden, forms a potent corrosive poison. The owner of this castle warns us that greed will surely be punished," Yun Sheng said, drawing a deep breath.
