Inside the grotto, the light was not dim; on the contrary, it was surprisingly bright.
The four stone walls were inlaid with crystal-clear luminous crystals, which emitted a soft glow, making the entire grotto look very dreamy.
In the center of the grotto, there was a circular pool about three to four zhang wide, filled with a clear, deep blue liquid.
The water surface rippled slightly, emitting a strong Spiritual Qi fluctuation that made one feel refreshed.
What was even more shocking was that spirit dicine grew in abundance around the pool.
Various rare Spirit Herbs and Spirit Flowers were scattered in an orderly fashion, colorful and fragrant; a rough estimate put the number of spirit dicine at least six hundred.
Among them, at least a hundred were thousand-year spirit dicine, sparkling with spiritual light.
Fang Hong and Su Shan were overjoyed to see so much spirit dicine and quickly walked closer to the pool.
"It really is a blessed grotto." Fang Hong couldn't help but click his tongue, once again deeply feeling the wonder of Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden.
Outside, a single thousand-year spirit dicine could trigger a scramble among high-level Cultivators, but here they grew in clusters, which was truly incredible.
"No ti to lose, let's quickly collect all this spirit dicine!" Su Shan's eyes burned with eagerness as she imdiately suggested.
Fang Hong nodded, and the two split up, beginning to harvest the spirit dicine around them.
...
About an hour later, all the spirit dicine in the entire grotto had been harvested by the two of them. Of course, the roots of each spirit dicine were left behind, and in due ti, under the miraculous restriction of Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden, they would grow back.
After finishing the harvest, the two returned to the edge of the pool, their gaze falling on the deep blue spring water.
"The spirit dicine aura in this pool is so rich, it's probably the legendary spirit dicine Spring," Fang Hong mused.
He leaned down and touched the pool water. As soon as his fingertip made contact, an incomparably pure spiritual power surged into his body, making him tremble all over and feel his ridians clear.
A spirit dicine Spring only forms under specific conditions, for example, when rare spirit dicine grows beside a spiritual spring, and the spiritual spring absorbs the essence of the dicinal herbs, transforming into a spirit dicine Spring containing dicinal power.
"Yes, this spirit dicine spring contains a massive amount of pure dicinal power, which can not only nourish the physical body but also help one breakthrough their cultivation."
"How about we take this opportunity to Cultivate here for a while?" Su Shan's beautiful eyes curved into a smile as she held Fang Hong's arm, her voice soft.
Fang Hong smiled, imdiately picked up Su Shan, and prepared to rekindle their long-lost marital affection in the spirit dicine Spring.
Thus, over the next few days, the young couple soaked in the spirit dicine Spring, absorbing its dicinal power while discussing a Dual Cultivation cultivation technique called "Joyful Qi Nurturing Art."
This cultivation technique was chosen by Su Shan from her master's cultivation technique library. It focused on the convergence of Yin and Yang and the mutual replenishnt of Spiritual Qi, capable of nourishing Yin and supplenting Yang, as well as harmonizing Qi and blood and enhancing magical power.
Benefiting from the profoundness of this cultivation technique, the two mutually enhanced each other during Dual Cultivation, greatly accelerating their cultivation speed.
Coupled with the incomparably pure dicinal power of the spirit dicine Spring, in just a few days, their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and their magical power continuously soared.
At the sa ti, the two also used this period to discuss formation knowledge, and Fang Hong learned several practical formations from Su Shan.
In a flash, it was the twenty-ninth day, and Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden was about to close, with only one day left.
At this ti, Fang Hong was still soaking in the spirit dicine Spring, with Su Shan quietly leaning beside him.
If one were to carefully sense, they would find that the aura fluctuations on their bodies were several tis stronger than when they first entered this place. They had both already Breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt peak, only one step away from forming a Golden Core.
"This Joyful Qi Nurturing Art is indeed profound; it actually allowed us to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt peak in such a short ti," Fang Hong sighed.
"That's also thanks to the dicinal power of the spirit dicine Spring. If ti allowed, I would really want to form a Golden Core here," Su Shan said with a smile.
"Speaking of Core Formation, I have sothing good to give you." Fang Hong suddenly thought of sothing, hooked his finger, and took out a golden bamboo from the storage bag in his clothes.
"Ah. This is golden thunder bamboo. You, where did you get such a treasure!" Su Shan's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief when she saw the golden thunder bamboo.
"Hehe, I found it by chance in a cave, pretty good luck," Fang Hong said with a smile.
"You're giving it to ? Don't you want it yourself? This is an excellent Material for refining Spiritual Treasure." Su Shan stared at Fang Hong in a daze.
"I still have more, enough for to refine Spiritual Treasure. This one is for you to refine Spiritual Treasure, to ward off evil and protect yourself," Fang Hong said.
Since it was Fang Hong's good intention, Su Shan accepted it. With this golden thunder bamboo, she wouldn't have to worry about materials for refining Spiritual Treasure.
Afterward, taking advantage of the remaining ti, the two began to entwine again, absorbing the dicinal power from the spirit dicine Spring.
...
It wasn't until the thirtieth day that the two erged from the spirit dicine Spring, each putting on their clothes.
The jade slip issued by the sect began to flash, indicating that Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden was about to close, and it was ti to leave.
"Then I'll go first," Su Shan said with a sweet smile to Fang Hong.
Then she crushed the sparkling jade slip in her hand, and her entire body was enveloped in white light. With a "whoosh," her figure instantly disappeared from the grotto, exiting the Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden space.
Fang Hong watched her leave, then also crushed his jade slip. With a flash of white light, he exited the Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden space.
When his vision returned, he had reappeared in the small valley not far from the entrance of Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden.
Fang Hong looked around and saw that the disciples of the other sects were being continuously teleported back, and Su Shan had already returned to her master's side.
Not far away, Fang Hong also saw Elder Huang Xiong and Elder Chen Tong of Danxian Valley, and he quickly flew over to join the other disciples.
A mont later, no more disciples appeared.
The stone monunt in the center of the valley suddenly erupted with brilliant purple light, followed by rolling purple poisonous mist that quickly enveloped the entire valley.
Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden was officially closed.
Those disciples who failed to teleport out in ti either died in conflicts or were devoured by Demonic Beasts, forever remaining in that Secret Realm.
Elder Huang Xiong scanned the returning disciples, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
Fifty disciples entered Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden, and forty returned safely. This was far better than other sects.
Other sects usually had only thirty or even fewer disciples return.
However, at this mont, a commotion ca from the other side of the valley.
The old general from Zhao State led a group of disciples, approaching quickly with solemn expressions and an aggressive aura.
Princess Princess Zhao Wanyu of Zhao State followed beside him, her sharp gaze fixed on Fang Hong.
Fang Hong's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene.
Both the old general and Princess Zhao Wanyu were staring intently at him, which clearly ant they were coming for him.
Seeing the aggressive approach of the Zhao State Cultivators, Elder Huang Xiong frowned and asked coldly, "Old General Zhao State Yang, you co so aggressively, what is the matter?"
As his voice fell, the disciples and Elders of Beast Taming Sect and Taiyi Sect were also alerted, gathering closer to see what was happening.
