Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 194 Heaven and Earth Law Net and Domain-level Spiritual Medicine

After leaving Dusk Peak, Zhao Sheng released the silver white flying boat and boarded it. The flying boat soared into the sky, circled half a circle, and then sped toward the southwest.

This flight lasted half a day, and finally, at dusk, the silver white flying boat crossed the vast sea and arrived over a circular island lush with verdant greenery.

The island was not large, but it was lush with vegetation. Many areas on the island had been turned into medicine fields full of various spirit grasses and medicinal materials. In addition, the island housed many docile medicinal rabbits used for testing drugs.

After circling in the mid-air, the flying boat slowly descended behind a steep sea cliff on the north side of the island.

After stowing away the flying boat, Zhao Sheng flashed a few times and was already standing in front of a Blue Steel Stone Gate.

Zhao Sheng stepped forward to knock, but the stone gate creaked open on its own.

Soon, a little boy in a red robe with twin braids poked his head out, and upon seeing Zhao Sheng, immediately asked in a wary tone,

"Who are you?"

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, flicked his sleeve, and a green light emerged, transforming into a token flashing with green light, which landed in front of the boy.

The twin-braided boy took the token, and his eyes immediately widened in surprise, showing an extremely enthusiastic smile.

"So, it is Senior Zhao. This child was ignorant; please forgive me!"

The boy quickly stepped out of the cave mansion, respectfully returned the token, and then hurriedly led Zhao Sheng inside.

Zhao Sheng certainly would not take an issue with a child, but he also quietly lowered his opinion of the cave mansion's owner.

The outside of the cave mansion did not look remarkable, but inside it was much larger than Zhao Sheng's guest elder mansion, and everywhere was exquisitely and elegantly decorated, understated yet luxurious.

Before long, under the Daoist child's guidance, Zhao Sheng arrived in a spacious living room deep inside the mansion.

The four walls of the living room were adorned with ancient and aromatic paintings, and a faint refreshing fragrance permeated the air. A slight sniff revived Zhao Sheng's spirit, and the rotation speed of the Core Spiritual Power vortex in his Dantian even accelerated somewhat.

The furniture in the living room was all made from several hundred-year-old Blood Elixir Wood, which was quite valuable.

One should know that a single piece of Blood Elixir Wood is worth at least a thousand spirit stones, not something an alchemist without substantial wealth could afford.

"Daoist Zhao, please enjoy some Spiritual Tea and wait for a moment. I am currently refining a batch of Elixir Pills. Please excuse any lack of hospitality." a cold voice suddenly traveled from the deepest part of the mansion to the living room.

"Daoist Ge, there's no need for such formality; I have come early! Alchemy is crucial, I don't mind waiting, as Mr. Meng and the others will also arrive soon," Zhao Sheng responded loudly.

Upon entering the living room earlier, he had sensed the restless Fire Spiritual Energy deep within the mansion and felt a wave of hot air emanating from inside.

Now it seemed, Ge Chen was indeed refining elixirs.

Ge Chen was a top disciple of the Master of Alchemy, Xu Chong, originating from the Denver Ge Family. It was puzzling why he had left the Elixir Cauldron Sect, where he was well established, to follow Xu Chong to the Shattered Star Sea two years ago.

Just then, the boy reappeared in the living room. After Zhao Sheng had seated, he brought over a wooden tray holding a cup of Spiritual Tea.

Zhao Sheng looked carefully at the tea in his hand, noticing the crystal-clear tea cup filled with fragrantly lush green tea, its leaves straight like swords or needles, emitting a strange fragrance.

He understood then, took a light sip, first feeling a trace of bitterness. However, as soon as the tea slid down his throat, it transformed into a cool sensation that instantly spread throughout his limbs, leaving his whole body exceptionally relaxed and comfortable.

Indeed, this was the Sword Eyebrow Spiritual Tea, a special product of the Ge family.

It had been several hundreds of years since Zhao Sheng had last tasted it.

Tasting it again today unavoidably evoked his longing for home.

But… returning to the Central Continent was not so easy!

Over the past two years, Zhao Sheng had not just been busy with alchemy and cultivation.

A year ago, he had disguised himself, attempting to board Star God Island.

Who knew that just as he approached within five hundred miles of Star God Island, his Danger Perception madly warned him of extreme danger ahead, extremely dangerous.

If he proceeded any further, he would undoubtedly die!

That day, Zhao Sheng personally witnessed thick deadly black qi enveloping heaven and earth.

An endless, invisible magical net, centered on Star God Island, spread out in all directions like a spider's web, reaching up to the Heavenly Gang Atmosphere of the Nine Heavens and down to the Ten Thousand Feet Sea Abyss, encompassing everything and omnipresent.

The densely intertwined, invisible threads, undetectable even by ordinary Golden Core cultivators, revealed their true form amidst the black qi of death.

Every time he recalled that shocking scene he had witnessed that day, Zhao Sheng's spirit involuntarily trembled uncontrollably.

He did not know what that sky-reaching and earth-penetrating net was, but he felt that he was... in over his head!

Zhao Sheng forcefully suppressed his turbulent thoughts while drinking tea and looking around.

Huh,

His gaze suddenly sharpened, falling on a painting on the opposite wall filled with rows of mysterious black runes and accompanied by four images of Spiritual Medicines, his face showing a hint of interest.

The mysterious black runes were actually written in Taiyi Spiritual Text.

If it were any other cultivator, not even one in a hundred might know Taiyi Spiritual Text.

But fortunately, or unfortunately, Zhao Sheng did. Not only did he know it, he was also quite proficient in it.

After carefully examining it several times, Zhao Sheng was greatly surprised and felt vastly enlightened.

The content on that drawing turned out to be about four types of Domain-level Spiritual Medicines: Mysterious Star Spirit Tree, Light-bearing Giant Spirit Grass, Earth Core Transformation Mushroom, and Void Devil Fungus.

Zhao Sheng knew that Spiritual Medicines were classified into levels, but he had never heard that there were Domain-level Spiritual Medicines.

In the Tianzhu Realm, there had been legends of divine-level Spiritual Medicines. For instance, the Nine Flower Moon Dew legend from Heavenly Pillar Mountain was a type of divine-level Spiritual Medicine.

So... how did Nine Flower Moon Dew compare to Mysterious Star Spirit Tree and other Domain-level Spiritual Medicines, in terms of superiority and inferiority?

"Oh, could it be that Taoist Zhao also understands Taiyi Spiritual Text?"

As Zhao Sheng was absorbed in the painting, a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe walked in from the living room.

This person was over forty years old, tall and thin, with an elegant face, smiling as he looked at Zhao Sheng.

"Daoist Fang jests. I recognize only one or two Taiyi Spiritual Texts; I dare not claim I understand it."

Zhao Sheng snapped out of it upon seeing the person, immediately standing up and explaining with a wry smile.

The visitor was named Fang Weishan, an island master under the Spring and Autumn Alliance, with cultivation around the early-stage to possibly mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

At the Foundation Establishment Realm, cultivators often habitually hide part of their power, and if one does not actually engage in battle, it is very difficult to ascertain the other's true cultivation.

"Oh, is that so? I saw that you were so engrossed, I thought perhaps I had encountered a fellow enthusiast." Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

Fang Weishan did not hide his fascination with Taiyi Spiritual Text.

Indeed, his reputation as Lord Fang obsessed with words was already widespread throughout the Spring and Autumn Alliance.

Fang Weishan was motivated to participate because the other party gave him a book of detailed explanations of a hundred Taiyi Spiritual Texts.

"Does Daoist happen to know what is written on this painting?" His interest piqued, Fang Weishan immediately walked up to the painting, smiling at Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, feigning great interest: "Please enlightenment from Lord Fang."

"Very well, let me see what it says."
