Chapter 25: Millennium Spiritual Herbs

"I'm home, please deliver it."

He Zhi's face lit up with joy as he hurriedly said to the delivery man.

Ten minutes later, He Zhi opened the door and took several cardboard boxes from the delivery man.

"The herbs have arrived."

He Zhi had bought a lot of things.

The first shipment to arrive was some medicinal herbs.

There were only two kinds: ginseng and Fo-Ti Root.

These were all artificially cultivated and not expensive at all.

Actually, He Zhi didn't know much about herbs, but he'd heard of ginseng and Fo-Ti Root—these were famous for replenishing qi and blood.

In the real world, they could replenish qi and blood.

So in the cultivation world, could they restore Magic Power? Or be used for cultivation?

He Zhi decided to give it a try.

He casually grabbed two stalks from the herbs and sent them to the cultivation world to see the effects.

In the cultivation world.

"Haha, trash from Qingxuan Sect, so what if you have a Sword Formation? What good does it do?"

"If you have the guts, come out again—I'll take you on!"

The Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator taunted from outside.

The Sect Master and the others wore grim expressions, saying nothing.

Actually, with the strength of the Sect Master and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators, if they went out to surround and attack, this Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator—powerful as he was—wouldn't escape death.

But the Sect Master and the others didn't dare act rashly now, because something was off.

Where did this Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator get the confidence to taunt them alone nonstop?

Could it be that Blood Yin Sect's Core Formation Elder Zhao Wuxue was lurking nearby?

So the Sect Master didn't dare make a move and had even sealed the Sect-Guarding Grand Array completely.

"What a bunch of trash!"

The Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator taunted for a while, and seeing no response from the Sect Master and the others, prepared to leave in frustration.

At that moment, the Sect Master's expression suddenly brightened. He turned and flew toward the Elder Hall.

He had detected the herbs sent by He Zhi with his Divine Sense.

A short while later, the Sect Master flew back, his face full of delight.

In his hand were two herbs: one ginseng and one Fo-Ti Root.

These two herbs looked dry, dull, and unremarkable in the real world—they were cheap goods, after all.

But now in the cultivation world, they radiated spiritual light and gave off an intoxicating medicinal fragrance.

"This is…"

The Qingxuan Sect disciples had been completely drained of Magic Power and were physically exhausted, barely able to speak.

But now, just smelling that medicinal fragrance gave them strength out of nowhere, and they cried out in shock.

"The Grand Elder has bestowed treasures again!"

The Sect Master announced loudly.

Then, he plucked a tiny bit of root from the ginseng and Fo-Ti Root and gently swallowed it.

A moment later, the Sect Master's entire body shook as his aura surged.

The Magic Power and energy he'd depleted from staying up all night refining swords were fully replenished, and sharp light burst from his eyes.

Just a tiny bit of root had such a powerful effect.

"These are incomparably precious spiritual herbs! They greatly replenish qi, blood, and Magic Power!"

"The Grand Elder must have bestowed them to help us recover our Magic Power and slay the enemy!"

The Sect Master's face was full of joy.

Then he summoned his Flying Sword—whoosh whoosh whoosh!—and sliced the ginseng and Fo-Ti Root into fragments.

Under the Sect Master's Magic Power, the fragments flew toward the disciples.

"Hold the fragments in your mouths to keep your Magic Power from depleting!"

"Remember, don't swallow them! Otherwise, your bodies won't be able to handle the nourishment."

The Sect Master instructed them.

The disciples hurriedly placed the ginseng and Fo-Ti Root fragments in their mouths.

In the next instant, their auras also exploded outward as their Magic Power rapidly recovered.

One by one, they became full of vigor and vitality.

"It hurts so much—I feel like I'm going to explode from the Magic Power!"

The disciples couldn't help crying out in pain.

The spiritual herb fragments were too potent—they couldn't even handle them!

The Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator outside was dumbfounded.

"What? How is this possible?"

"What kind of spiritual herb is that? It has such strong effects without even being refined into a spiritual pill?"

"Bestowed by the Grand Elder? Could the rumors be true…"

He couldn't help exclaiming aloud.

"Demon cultivator!"

At that moment, the Sect Master inside the Sect-Guarding Grand Array turned to glare at the Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator, his eyes icy cold.

"Disciples, heed my command—control your swords and kill!"

The Sect Master shouted.

Since the Grand Elder had bestowed spiritual herbs, it meant the Grand Elder supported them in battle.

What was there to fear?

And so, the Sword Formation activated again, blasting toward the Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator outside.

"This is bad!"

The Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator turned to flee.

But before he could fly more than a few meters, the disciples' Sword Formation struck him down with one sword stroke.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Giant swords slashed repeatedly, pounding the Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator until he couldn't even crawl on the ground.

Moreover, the disciples controlled their swords faster and faster.

It was as if they had to strike quicker, or their surging Magic Power would cause their bodies to explode.

"I…"

The Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator was getting pummeled speechless and could only desperately defend.

But how could he withstand the increasingly fierce attacks?

Finally, after the disciples unleashed over fifty sword strikes.

Crack!

A shattering sound rang out.

The Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator's shield magical artifact was directly shattered by the Sword Formation.

"To think I'd die at the hands of a bunch of Qi Refining brats…"

A thought flashed through the Blood Yin Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator's mind.

In the next instant, his body was hacked into a pile of minced meat, deader than dead.

"We actually killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator…"

The disciples stared in disbelief.

The Sect Master, Yan Yu, and the other Foundation Establishment powerhouses were all beaming with joy.

The gap in strength between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment was enormous.

Qi Refining cultivators killing a Foundation Establishment one—even with the power of the Sword Formation—was an incredible feat!

"Quickly withdraw the Sword Formation and spit out the spiritual herb fragments!"

The Sect Master hurriedly commanded.

"Yes!"

The disciples obeyed at once.

A moment later, the giant sword formed by the Sword Formation returned to the Sect-Guarding Grand Array, splitting back into seventy-two small Flying Swords that the disciples retrieved.

Then, the disciples spat out the spiritual herb fragments from their mouths.

Only then did the sensation of their Magic Power about to explode fade away.

"Sect Master, what exactly are these spiritual herbs? Their effects are so powerful!"

The disciples were all shocked and couldn't help asking.

"These two spiritual herbs were bestowed by the Grand Elder—they're millennium spiritual herbs, treasures that only someone of the Grand Elder's realm can consume. Of course you Qi Refining little ones can't handle them."

"Keep these fragments safe. You can use them again in future battles."

"It's a pity such spiritual herbs should be refined into spiritual pills to maximize their effects. Eating them raw like this wastes their potency."

The Sect Master said regretfully.

"Millennium spiritual herbs!?"

The disciples were startled and hurriedly stored the fragments carefully, afraid to lose even a bit.

These were precious treasures.

It was just a shame they'd been chopped up and put in their mouths—they weren't suitable for refining into spiritual pills anymore.

In the real world.

"Millennium spiritual herbs? I thought they'd turn into ten-thousand-year ones like the iron wire did."

"Still, what an amazing effect."

He Zhi was also quite pleased.

These herbs really worked!

"It's just a shame I can't use such good stuff myself."

He Zhi felt a bit regretful.

Even though those two ginseng and Fo-Ti Root had such powerful effects just now.

Once brought back to reality, they'd revert to their original form—cheap goods sold by the pound, useless to He Zhi.

"Wait, the Sect Master said something about alchemy?"

"If they refine the ginseng and Fo-Ti Root into pills, and I bring them back to reality, could I use them?"

He Zhi had a new idea.
