Rebirth as a Tiger: Sister is the Reborn Empress!-Chapter 421 - 419: Ancient Forest, Spiritual Medicine Everywhere!
After entering the palace, the three of them immediately began to observe the interior of the hall.
The entire interior of the hall was adorned with a type of Purple Jade Spiritual Material unknown to Jiang Che. Inside this jade material, lightning threads occasionally danced, causing the hall to flicker with a purple light.
The space inside the hall was vast, with a high ceiling that presented a deep starry sky scene. The starlight was resplendent, and bolts of lightning wandered in and out of sight, making it impossible to discern where the top truly was.
In the center of the hall stood a massive Purple Jade Pillar, with a diameter exceeding three meters. Numerous purple runes were moving across the pillar’s surface, which was shrouded in purple aura and entangled with lightning, exuding a sense of destruction. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Surrounding the Purple Jade Pillar were eight Purple Jade Rainbow Bridges, connecting to eight passageways behind it. Beneath the rainbow bridges, the Thunder Pool roiled with thunder.
These eight passageways stretched out far out of sight. The traces of arrays were clearly visible within, seemingly having the effect of isolating Divine Sense, making Jiang Che unable to probe the real situation inside with his Divine Sense.
Afterwards, the three slowly walked to the side of the Purple Jade Pillar.
"Second Brother, which passage should we take?"
Looking at the eight passageways in front of him, Jiang Che frowned slightly and looked at Fang Yuan, who was the most knowledgeable among the three.
At this moment, Fang Yuan was also carefully observing the conditions of these passageways.
Even though the arrays blocked the view so nothing inside was clear, all these passageways gave him a feeling of danger.
"Big Brother, these passageways are definitely peculiar. We can’t walk through them recklessly; otherwise, we might get hurt or even face life-threatening situations."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan turned his head and shared his analysis with Jiang Che.
"However, if we want to get our hands on the Thunder Emperor’s treasures, we’ll surely have to choose one of them.
Let me inspect these passageways to find out which one gives me the least sense of danger..."
Subsequently, Fang Yuan started to inspect each passageway closely, observing the arrays within and testing them continuously.
Meanwhile, Xiaozhi, standing on Nangong Luo, curiously observing everything around, twitched her nose as if she had smelled something, her eyes shining with delight and a look of intoxication on her face.
"Master, Xiaozhi smells a rich Spiritual Medicine scent. Shall we go down this passage?"
Xiaozhi excitedly pointed to the third passage from the left.
"This smell? Spiritual Medicine scent? Indeed, little one, your nose is keener than mine, the Demon Monarch."
Hearing Xiaozhi’s words, Fang Yuan, who was probing, also moved to the third passage, leaned in to sniff, and indeed noticed a faint medicinal fragrance. However, the scent was so light that it wouldn’t be noticeable unless extremely close.
Hearing Xiaozhi and Fang Yuan’s words, Jiang Che looked at Fang Yuan and asked: "Second Brother, how about the passage Xiaozhi chose?"
"The danger level of this passage should be relatively low, and the aroma of medicine suggests it might connect to the Thunder Emperor Palace’s medicinal garden. It’s worth a try."
Fang Yuan nodded, his eyes revealing a greedy light. The Emperor Realm expert’s medicinal garden must have so many treasures!
If he could find some Spiritual Medicines suitable for Emperor Realm experts, he would strike it rich, much better than looting the corpses of two or three eighth-level experts.
Upon hearing Fang Yuan’s words, Jiang Che hesitated for a moment but still decided to take the passage Xiaozhi had pointed out. Time waits for no one, and the battle outside the palace was growing more intense, leaving the Puppet Battle Array unable to hold on for much longer.
"Let’s go! We can’t let those behind catch up!"
Then Jiang Che was the first to step into the passage.
Fang Yuan and Nangong Luo followed closely behind.
After entering the passage, they had barely taken a few steps when the surrounding array patterns erupted, leading the three of them into a Spatial Tunnel.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived on a Jade High Platform.
The three of them looked around and discovered that the end of the passage was actually a Primitive Old Forest, and they were standing on a jade platform erected in the forest.
The surrounding trees were all incredibly tall, trees requiring five people to embrace were everywhere, with bark as dark brown as dragon scales, seemingly cracked and radiating a sense of ancientness.
Many of the old trees even emitted a faint Spiritual Light, full of life, clearly evolved from ordinary trees to Spirit Plants.
Mists of dense Spirit Qi drifted through the forest, nurturing the surrounding trees. Occasionally, Spirit Dew would fall from the tips of the leaves to the ground, soaking into the soil and fostering a vibrant ecosystem, nourishing all creatures.
"Wow, so many Spiritual Medicines!"
Standing atop Nangong Luo, Xiaozhi cheered in delight, her big eyes not blinking as she gazed at the scene ahead, salivating.
Hearing this, Jiang Che followed the gaze and instantly felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
The mountains and forests seemed filled with endless Spiritual Medicines; it seemed like the primitive forest was practically blanketed with them.
These Spiritual Medicines glowed brilliantly, some growing at the roots of giant trees, some on withered wood, and others directly at the most concentrated Spirit Qi sources, densely packed. Just a simple glance revealed three or four Spirit Medicines exuding Spiritual Light.
"That’s Profound Cloud Mushroom! It’s one of the rare few Spiritual Medicines capable of dispelling Curse Techniques, extremely precious, and it has grown to the size of a palm. Even a deadly Thousand-Year Curse could be instantly dispelled!"
At this moment, Nangong Luo, standing beside Jiang Che, exclaimed in utter astonishment as she looked at a spot a hundred meters away.
Underneath the trunk of a withered wooden stump a hundred meters away, a palm-sized Reishi Mushroom grew, pitch black as ink, as if capable of devouring all surrounding light.
Atop the Reishi Mushroom, a small cluster of black mist hovered like a dark cloud, floating and shifting.
As she spoke, Nangong Luo leaped from the jade platform, approached the stump, and picked the Profound Cloud Mushroom.
"Tweet..."
Just then, Xiaozhi jumped down from Nangong Luo, scampering up a towering tree not far away.
A few breaths later, Xiaozhi scurried back down the tree, carrying a Spirit Grass in her mouth, bounding over to Jiang Che in triumph.
The Spirit Grass was entirely crimson like blood, its leaves flaring like a phoenix in flight, spreading wings aglow with fiery light as if flames were rising.
At the top of the Spirit Grass, a walnut-sized, reddish Spirit Fruit, crystalline and transparent, seemed to be formed from molten lava, radiating light and heat.
"This is..."
Gazing at the Spirit Grass, Jiang Che’s brow furrowed slightly. He didn’t recognize this Spirit Fruit, despite having learned about Spiritual Medicines from his younger sister. It must be an exceedingly rare type of Spiritual Medicine.
"The little one really has a sharp nose! She even found a Phoenix Blood Fruit that enhances aptitude!"
Luckily, at that moment, Fang Yuan, who saw the Spirit Grass, was astonished and exclaimed in amazement,
Phoenix Blood Fruit?
