Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1520 - 1518: Psyche Refinement Herb

Looking across the stellar space, there are numerous kinds of elixir pills that can restore the physical body, of all shapes and sizes, but not many that can rejuvenate the psyche, and those are also much more expensive.

The elixir pill Lu Ye bought from the All Phenomena Merchants Guild was already the best, but the effect was not quite satisfactory.

He thought for a moment, then took a handful of seaweed from his storage ring and put it in his mouth to chew.

Unexpectedly, Lih Shang, who had been guarding by his side, looked shocked when she saw the seaweed: "Psyche refinement herb?"

Lu Ye glanced at her, somewhat surprised, and said, "You recognize it?"

This seaweed was something he brought back from the Constellation Palace. At the time, the entire Constellation Palace was wrapped in this seaweed, making it look furry. It took him several months to clean it all up, which shows just how massive the quantity was.

He kept the seaweed because he thought it might be something valuable, especially for its miraculous effect on recovering Divine Soul Power.

However, he never figured out exactly what this seaweed was.

"Can I take a look?" Lih Shang asked.

There was nothing he couldn't show, so Lu Ye grabbed another handful of seaweed and handed it to Lih Shang. She took it and examined it closely, her expression strange: "It looks somewhat like the psyche refinement herb, but it's a bit different from what I know. Where did you get these?"

"Picked up." Lu Ye replied casually, it was indeed picked up...

Lih Shang was speechless. To randomly find a psyche refinement herb, his luck was truly astonishing.

"Tell me about it," Lu Ye said. He was still interested in the seaweed because it could restore Divine Soul Power and was undoubtedly very valuable, especially since he had an enormous quantity on hand.

However, its origin was difficult to explain, and since Lu Ye didn't lack spirit jade, he had never exposed it, otherwise, he would have exchanged it for spirit jade long ago.

"The psyche refinement herb is a special product from my hometown, but even there, it is extremely rare and precious. It's particularly useful to us of the Soul Race. The name indicates its function — it can be used to refine the psyche. While it may not be the best, it is the safest with the least hidden dangers. This thing looks like the psyche refinement herb, but somehow not quite," Lih Shang said, puzzled.

Lu Ye had a thought: "Maybe different growth environments cause them to look different? But this thing is indeed beneficial for the psyche."

Ordinary environments might not impact the psyche refinement herb greatly, but the special environment under the All Phenomena Ocean is a different story.

"That could be it," Lih Shang nodded, agreeing with Lu Ye's hypothesis, "but to be sure, I have to test it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye offered her a large pile of seaweed.

Lih Shang's eyes went wide: "This much?"

A lot? Lu Ye thought of the seaweed he had piled up at the Constellation Palace, and a little was nothing.

"Isn't this your hometown's specialty? Isn't it plentiful there?" Lu Ye asked.

Lih Shang looked at him with a complex expression: "Though it's a hometown specialty, each plant is extremely rare... don't chew it, this thing isn't for eating."

Lu Ye halted his chewing: "It's not for eating, then how do you use it?"

He had always eaten it this way, especially while cultivating Tidal Sea Ten Thousand Waves, he would eat a bit of seaweed each time.

"Wait, let me see if it's indeed the psyche refinement herb," Lih Shang said, sitting next to him, and carefully pulled a single piece from the pile that Lu Ye gave her, holding it in her palm.

Lu Ye felt her Divine Soul Power begin to surge, then watched in amazement as the seaweed in her palm began to emit a faint glow, with an extremely peculiar energy starting to flow from it.

Lu Ye couldn't help but twitch his eye, silently spitting the chewed psyche refinement herb into his hand.

After a moment, Lih Shang opened her eyes, brimming with joy: "This is the psyche refinement herb, just that it looks a bit different from those produced in my hometown."

"Where did you find it?" Lih Shang asked, but realized it was inappropriate to ask right after speaking.

Lu Ye didn't mind and replied casually: "Discovered it incidentally in some domain, but it's gone now. This requires Spirit Power to guide and refine?"

He had tried using spirit force for refining before but with no success. Thus, he chose to consume it. Given the Talent Tree's protection, he wasn't worried about being poisoned. He found it effective for restoring Divine Soul Power, so he continued eating it, unaware that his approach was wrong.

"Yes, you need to refine it with Spirit Power. This is a soul-refining Spirit Grass. Chewing and swallowing it like that is wasteful."

Lu Ye tried refining the seaweed according to Lih Shang's method and was delighted moments later when he found that this method resulted in much better outcomes than consuming directly.

Consuming it only restored a small portion of Soul Power, but refining it with Spirit Power not only restored more Soul Power but also refined his Soul Power!

In the short term, there might not be a huge impact, but over time, his psyche would become extraordinarily resilient and powerful.

Realizing his previous mistakes, Lu Ye couldn't help but feel some regret over the psyche refinement herbs he consumed. Fortunately, the number of psyche refinement herbs he had was substantial enough that his earlier consumption was negligible.

He just wondered if the herb could be used in alchemy. If so, its benefits could be even greater.

While Lu Ye pondered, Lih Shang pushed back the pile of psyche refinement herbs in front of her.

Lu Ye looked up at her.

Lih Shang said, "The psyche refinement herb is extremely precious. Now that you've suffered a loss of soul power, it's just right to use it for recovery."

Lu Ye smiled and pushed the psyche refinement herb back to her: "You keep it, consider it my gratitude to you. I have some more of this stuff, it's enough."

Lih Shang pursed her red lips, hesitating a bit.

If it were other things, she naturally wouldn't care. Most treasures in stellar space are useless to the Soul Race, but the psyche refinement herb is different. This is exactly what the Soul Race needs, and seeing so many psyche refinement herbs even gives her hope of advancing to Moon Jade.

Even she couldn't remain indifferent.

However, she still felt it necessary to remind Lu Ye: "Do you know how much a single psyche refinement herb would sell for?"

"How much?" Lu Ye asked.

"At least five thousand spirit jade!"

Lu Ye was taken aback. He knew the psyche refinement herb was undoubtedly valuable but didn't expect it to be so precious. Five thousand for one, then how much are the psyche refinement herbs stored in the Constellation Palace worth?

Not to mention those in the Constellation Palace, just the ones given to Lih Shang are worth at least a million.

While Lu Ye was calculating his wealth, Lih Shang thought he finally realized the value of the psyche refinement herb and felt reluctant to give it away, so she pushed the psyche refinement herb back to him.

Lu Ye finally came back to his senses: "Take it, and if we encounter enemies again, there'll be a place where I need your help."

Lih Shang looked into his eyes and couldn't detect a trace of reluctance. Curiosity piqued her; she couldn't figure out what kind of person Lu Ye was. Such valuable things, given away just like that...

And it's not like you can buy psyche refinement herbs with spirit jade.

In the end, she still accepted it and said softly, "Thank you!"

Lu Ye continued to refine the psyche refinement herb to restore his own soul power. The more he refined, the more he could feel the mystique of this item, indeed capable of tempering his psyche.

Lih Shang didn't refine the psyche refinement herb, remaining quietly by his side.

Black Umbrella and Mu He occasionally came to check on Lu Ye, to see how well his injuries were healing. It seemed that the children of the Wood Spirits and the Spore Race had also been informed by their elders of the gratitude owed to Lu Ye and Lih Shang, and occasionally children would run over to give them a few small mushrooms.

Those mushrooms appeared in various colors and had notable restorative effects, and they tasted sweet.

Lu Ye's injuries improved day by day, and his soul power became abundant.

No more Blood Race experts came after them. It seemed that Blood Hero had acted alone. After all, someone at Moon Jade Late Stage wouldn't need anyone's assistance. Blood Hero surely thought he could easily take down Lu Ye with his own strength, but he ended up in such dire straits, with his psyche shattered and his life force extinguished.

The remaining journey was fairly peaceful.

Until three months later, an astonishing scene appeared in the stellar space ahead.

It was a gigantic tree emitting a glowing radiance, standing there in the stellar space. The tree was enormous and boundless, its canopy lush and its roots spiraling outward like giant dragons entwined across the stellar space.

Each star seemed like fruit hanging from the tree, emitting brilliant light.

Whether they were Spore Race, Wood Spirits, or Lu Ye and Lih Shang, they all stood amazed on the spore cloud, lost in this breathtaking scene.

Although Lu Ye had entered the Reincarnation Tree twice, he had always directly entered its interior and had never seen its appearance from the outside.

Until this moment!

The visual impact of such a colossal tree was incredible; Lu Ye had never imagined a tree could grow in such a manner.

This tree, encompassing such an area, was like an entire star system on its own!

The spore cloud slowly approached the range covered by the tree, the closer they got, the more they felt their own insignificance.

Following the guidance of the Reincarnation Tree mark on the back of his hand, Lu Ye led the spore cloud to the front of one of the Reincarnation Tree's branches. The branch danced lightly and descended, and at the front of the branch, a dark portal suddenly opened with a Single Flash.

On the spore cloud, the Constellations among the Spore Race and Wood Spirit Race were bidding farewell to their people.

Most of the people from both races could migrate into the Tree World within the Reincarnation Tree for protection and survival, but the Reincarnation Tree didn't accept cultivators at the Constellation Realm or above.

Because those at the Constellation Realm already have the ability to survive in stellar space, the Constellations from both races couldn't enter the Tree World.

Farewells were ultimately painful, and partings were reluctant.

Only after a long while, under the maintenance of the Constellations from both races, did the people orderly pass through the portal into the Tree World that the Reincarnation Tree had prepared for them.
