Chapter 1838 A Bumper Harvest From The Medicine Garden


    As Austin walked around, he could see that he was in a tranquil medicine garden. It appeared ancient


    and peaceful.


    In the middle of the medicine garden, there was a two-story, exquisite bamboo building. Beside it there


    were a few stationary bamboo nts.


    In the path leading up to the building, there was an elegant, small pond. The ce looked like it


    belonged to a hermit.


    When Austin looked around, he saw there was a beautiful sunglow. It resembled the stars all over the


    sky and it was sparkling everywhere. Austin''s eyes glowed in it.


    He knew that the herbs that glowed were high-grade superior herbs. His eyes grew greedy at the sight


    of them.


    A burst of beautiful music echoed through the garden and distracted him. He looked around, expecting


    an enemy to jump out of the building.


    However, the music was also caused by the high-grade herbs in the garden.


    Austin remembered that rays of sunglow and music could be found on rare materials and precious


    superior herbs.


    ncing around, he noticed that everything around him was above the sixth or seventh grade of


    superior herbs. His jaw dropped again.


    He tried to count them but they moved too fast, sprinting and ducking into corners. In the end, he


    managed to ount for more than twenty.


    Using his previous herb knowledge, he identified the running ones as semi-omnipotent herbs.


    If there were holy lords and reclusive elders in the garden, they would pass out at the sight of the semi-


    omnipotent herbs. He was d that he was alone.


    He had heard the extremely old cultivators talk about semi-omnipotent herbs. By the sound of it, they


    would kill to obtain them.


    The reason for the craziness surrounding the herbs was because they could prolong a life.


    Previously, in the Northern Mine District of the East Maind, Austin had witnessed how Brady brought


    back Elder Sharp of the me Holy Land by using two semi-omnipotent herbs.


    Therefore, it was not hard for him to imagine how valuable the semi-omnipotent herb was.


    "Okay. We''re going to take the semi-omnipotent herbs first. They''re the most important,"


    Austin ordered with greed on his face. The group of semi-omnipotent herbs cowered in the corner,


    trembling so violently that it looked like they were going to explode. Drool almost dripped from Austin''s


    open mouth as he stared at them.


    Whoosh!


    In an instant, Violet and the gnome appeared. They charged at the herbs and the herbs cowered even


    further.


    Utilizing his bodily movement skill, Austin joined them.


    They ran and leaped and climbed around the garden, chasing down the herbs. asionally, one would


    slip out of their grasps at thest second and they would grunt and chased it down again. After a while,


    they had wrangled twenty-five semi-omnipotent herbs.


    Austin gathered them all and put them in his Herb Ring. He looked at it with satisfaction before Violet


    pulled his attention away.


    "Look! I see high-grade superior herbs over here!


    It looks like they range from grade one to grade nine!"


    eximed Violet while she excitedly pointed at the patches in the garden. Her delicate eyes were


    twinkling with tremendous excitement.


    "Get them!


    We need all the superior herbs this time!"


    At Austin''smand, the three of them rushed to the medicine field at the same time. They scrambled


    around, overwhelmed by the assortment of herbs and other nts they could collect.


    "That is a... reincarnation leaf!"


    The reincarnation leaf was a small, purple tree on which there were six crescent-like leaves. Each of


    the leaves had a unique mark which shed with color. If one stared at the mark for a long time, they


    could see a depiction of the cycle of death and rebirth.


    "And there are sunshine flowers!"


    At their feet, scorching orange flowers dotted the grass. They had to squint as they looked at the


    flowers because they were as bright as sunlight.


    "Look, you two. This is the heavenly holy herb!"


    They looked at the nt that resembled a dandelion and smiled.


    With his senses overloaded, Austin kept spinning in circles and constantly recognized more superior


    herb varieties. Each one was more rare than thest and Austin had never seen some of them


    anywhere in the Divine Continent. The outside world would lose its mind if Austin were to show any of


    these to anyone.


    The garden was sorge that they walked and searched for hours, picking up anything valuable they


    could find. There were superior herbs that had almost be extinct in the outside world.


    Austin, a second-grade superior pill refiner, couldn''t even distinguish some of the herbs. He guessed


    that some of them had already be extinct in the outside world and that was why he didn''t


    recognize them.


    Finally, after searching every corner, the three of them had collected all the superior herbs in the


    garden.


    Carefully, Austin ced each one into his Herb Ring.


    Saving them this way was smart because they could grow and be removed when they were needed.


    Once they had finished, Austin approached the small bamboo building at the center of the medicine


    garden. He still worried that there may be an enemy hiding inside.


    When passing by the small pond, Austin inadvertently nced into it.


    His feet stopped moving and he looked again.


    Through the water, he could see four distorted light balls. There were two golden ones and two dark


    ones and he watched perplexed as they swam around.


    Looking more carefully, he realized that they were not light balls but fish.


    They were the only things in the pond.


    "Lad, these four little fish are not simple. I think they''re as valuable as those semi-omnipotent herbs.


    Why else would they be in this garden?"


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    the gnome said, walking up behind Austin.


    Austin trusted the gnome to find him treasures. There had never been a time when he had led him


    wrong. They both stared at the fish for a while.


    Austin nodded but didn''t move towards the fish or say anything.


    Like he was hypnotized, Austin followed the movements of the fish as they shimmered in the water.


    The four fish moved slowly, like they didn''t have a care or fear in the world. There was something to


    appreciate about their tranquility.


    "These four little fish remind me of the profound idea of inaction and harmony that is recorded in the


    me Scripture of the me Holy Land!"


    Austin said, suddenly snapping out of his wandering thoughts.


    ''They really are more than just normal fish!''


    Tempted by the thought that he might get something from the fish, Austin formed a big hand with his


    vital energy and drove it into the pool.


    The hand swam quickly through the clear water, reaching out towards the fish.


    They scattered, darting around and between the fingers before he could sp them shut.


    When the hand resurfaced, it had caught nothing.


    "No way!"


    Austin looked from the hand to the pond and then back again.


    After thinking for a while, he realized that the fish were only illusions. When he had tried to grab them,


    they turned to air and vanished. He couldn''t touch them, let alone capture them.


    Determined, he tried several different techniques. He shot out the Five-element Sword Light but it went


    through them. Using the Unrivaled ck Dagger, he tried to stab them but they remained intact


    afterwards. He thought attacking using spiritual sense was a sure shot but it was just as useless as the


    rest.


    With a sigh, he gave up.


    "Forget it,"


    Austin said in frustration. He spun away from the pond and walked into the bamboo building with Violet


    and the gnome following on either side.


    As soon as he entered the small bamboo building, Austin immediately smelled the intoxicating scent of


    elixirs.


    On the first floor, there were four rooms.


    The first room they entered was a living room. In it, there was simple furniture and clean windows; the


    shadows of the bamboo nts were swaying on the windows, making it look very elegant.


    As they explored, they found that one of the other rooms was a bedroom.


    Then there was a secret practicing room where several cleverly designed energy-gathering arrays were


    arranged.


    Austin walked around thest room, picking up items and examining them. Before long, he had


    determined it was a pill refining room.


    ''Is the owner of this ce a pill refiner?!'' Austin thought, staring wide-eyed at Violet and the gnome. It


    appeared that they hadn''t caught on yet.


    In the center of the room, an old elixir tripod sat. Austin looked closer at it and was surprised at what he


    saw.


    Though the tripod looked very old, the shadows of a dragon and a phoenix emerged from it and flew


    about. They seemed to be ying with each other.


    "Grade five, six, seven, eight, nine!"


    In a corner, there were jade bottles of all different sizes set on a wide table. As he opened the bottles


    and looked inside, his heart thumped against his chest.


    Every single bottle contained high-grade superior pills.


    Austin couldn''t believe it because fifth-grade superior pills were already extremely precious.


    In the entire East Maind, there were only two fifth-grade superior pill refiners. The three holynds


    and three ns were constantlypeting for the two superior pill refiners.


    He even had knowledge that the ancient sects in the Middle Pilgrim Land only possessed a handful of


    sixth-grade superior pills.


    The higher the pill-grade, the more top cultivators would be drawn to them. Austin was seeing what


    many people alive had never and would never see.


    This room had pills all the way up to grade-nine!


    Austin collected all the superior pills so quickly that he nearly dropped them.
