“En, I’m certain this is the Divine Nirvana Fruit!” Yang Kai grinned, “In this world, there are many kinds of spirit flowers and grasses, but each one that has the descriptor ‘Divine’ in their na is an incredible treasure. Such herbs innately gather elents of the Heavenly Way, which makes them extrely difficult to mature and will easily perish if certain conditions are not t! However, once one does mature, they co to possess incredible effects, whether they are swallowed directly or refined into pills. These effects are even useful to Origin Kings! Senior, we’ve struck it lucky!”
“Heh heh heh... kid, it seems you know quite a bit about spirit dicines,” Gui Zu was in a good mood as he observed Yang Kai in surprise.
“I know a little sothing,” Yang Kai chuckled.
“Good, there are exactly four, so as we agreed, we’ll each take two!” Gui Zu said as he stretched out his hand to grab the Divine Nirvana Fruit nearest him.
“Wait!” Yang Kai stopped him quickly.
“What’s wrong?” Gui Zu looked at him suspiciously.
“Senior, if you pick the Divine Nirvana Fruit like this, there won’t be any imdiate problems, but if you don’t preserve it properly, the dicinal efficacies will quickly pass,” Yang Kai warned.
“Hm? Then how should they be preserved?” Gui Zu asked humbly. He knew that so exotic herbs needed to be preserved in special ways, otherwise, their dicinal efficacies would leak out. The Divine Nirvana Fruit was incredibly valuable, so if its dicinal efficacies were to deteriorate due to improper storage, it would be an unacceptable loss. Listening to Yang Kai’s tone, it was obvious he knew the proper preservation thod though, so Gui Zu did not hesitate to ask.
“Simple, it only needs to be stored in a tal Attribute container,” Yang Kai explained with a smile, “Senior, look, there is a rich tal Attribute aura in the area around this Divine Nirvana Fruit. If my guess is right, down below this fruit tree, there is so kind of mineral lode. If we maintain a similar environnt for the picked fruits, it would be best.”
“So that’s how it is!” Gui Zu lightly nodded.
Among the five elents, needing to store the picked Divine Nirvana Fruit in a tal Attribute box wasn’t unreasonable, but... the fruit tree itself needing to grow atop a mineral lode was a bit strange.
Gui Zu naturally would not think too deeply about such things, though, and simply took out a dark red tal box from his Space Ring, turning to Yang Kai and asking, “Is this alright?”
“Oh... a box made from Profound Red Gold! Senior actually has such a treasure, of course there won’t be a problem with this. Storing the Divine Nirvana Fruit inside such a box will ensure its dicinal efficacies don’t leak for a thousand years or more!” Yang Kai nodded.
“Good, then this old master won’t delay any further,” Gui Zu laughed as he picked two Divine Nirvana Fruits first and placed them carefully into his box for storage.
Yang Kai picked the remaining two Divine Nirvana Fruits, and although he did not have a treasure like Gui Zu’s Profound Red Gold box, as an Alchemist himself, he was naturally well prepared and had an appropriate tal Attribute box to store them in.
After splitting the four Divine Nirvana Fruits, the two happily moved on, avoiding the surrounding Void Cracks while searching for ancient herbs inside the dicine valley.
This dicine valley was enormous, so large that no one even knew its full extent, so no matter how Yang Kai and Gui Zu rushed about, they never encountered anyone else.
Moreover, it was extrely convenient to find spirit dicines in this kind of place because each one had an extrely high dicinal age and released a rich dicinal fragrance. As long as one followed these dicinal fragrances, they would definitely obtain sothing good.
After half an hour, the pair followed their noses to a palm-sized flower.
This flower was growing in a well-concealed crevice and was extrely difficult to spot. In fact, if it were not for it emitting such a potent dicinal fragrance, Yang Kai and Gui Zu might have missed it.
“Demon lting Iris!” Upon seeing this flower, even without Yang Kai’s explanation, Gui Zu readily recognized it and could not help calling out in joy. “It’s really a lting Iris! Hahaha, this old master’s luck is too good!”
“Congratulations Senior, this Demon lting Iris seems to be at least two thousand years old and if it is used to refine a Demon Vanquishing Pill. It is imaginable that Origin Kings would go to war to snatch it!” Yang Kai cupped his fists with a smile.
Gui Zu glanced over at Yang Kai and said, “Good, this thing is of great use to this old master, so he will take it first. If there is anything we discover later, no matter what it is, you can freely take it. Yang Boy, is that agreeable?”
“Naturally,” Yang Kai replied boldly.
The primary function of the Demon lting Iris was to lt heart demons. When a cultivator was cultivating or trying to break through, heart demons would occasionally appear. These heart demons were negative shadows hidden in a cultivator’s heart.
For example, witnessing the strong bully the weak and not drawing one’s sword to help may beco a heart demon.
Being bullied and failing to obtain justice was another way a heart demon could form.
Being unable to save one’s beloved woman from death could also beco the source of a heart demon.
Heart demons was a general term that encompassed all kinds of regrets and negative emotions that weighed on a cultivator’s heart.
Heart Demons were extrely harmful, and while they normally did not have much impact on a cultivator’s day to day life, as one’s strength grew, the degree of danger a heart demon posed would also grow stronger, especially when one was trying to break through. During the delicate period when a cultivator was trying to reach the next realm, the power of a heart demon would be infinitely magnified, and once the cultivator failed to suppress or overco it, the breakthrough would fail, resulting in severe backlash or possibly even a dissonance in his or her cultivation, the ultimate result of which could be death.
Therefore, high-level cultivators would generally make many preparations before attempting to break through, especially when it ca to preventing or resolving heart demons. The easiest way to do this was to take certain types of pills.
The Demon Vanquishing Pill, refined from a Demon lting Iris, was the best Spirit Pill to suppress heart demons! Even if the Demon lting Iris weren’t refined into a pill, just consuming one of its petals during a breakthrough would have a miraculous effect.
Gui Zu was now a Second-Order Origin King, but if he wanted to break through to the Third-Order, there would be many difficulties. Gui Zu’s life was filled with tragedies, and he had yet to obtain the vengeance he sought, so the power of his heart demons would not be small. In this world, only the Demon lting Iris could suppress such a powerful heart demon.
That is why he made such a proposal.
Yang Kai certainly would not refuse.
Gui Zu treated the Demon lting Iris like a supre treasure, but Yang Kai didn’t actually care much about it.
High Heaven Sect’s Rising Dragon Hall had the precious Ten Thousand Year Incense which could also resolve heart demons, and its effects were even stronger than the Demon Vanquishing Pill. In other words, this Demon lting Iris was useless to Yang Kai.
“This old master won’t forget the favour,” Gui Zu said solemnly before collecting the Demon lting Iris. During the harvesting process, he also consulted Yang Kai about whether it needed to be preserved in a special way. After obtaining the appropriate information, the Demon lting Iris quickly entered Gui Zu’s pocket.
After Gui Zu collected the Demon lting Iris, Yang Kai, who had been standing next to him, suddenly frowned, and asked in a low voice, “Senior, do you hear sothing?”
Gui Zu was startled and quickly perked up his ears.
A mont later, both his and Yang Kai’s expressions changed drastically as they called out in alarm, “This is bad, the Seven Coloured Radiant Light!”
*Hu...*
The exhaling sound ca from sowhere far away, and along with it, the dicine valley began to tremble slightly. Looking towards the source of the vibrations, a seven coloured light ca crashing forward like a great tide.
“Where’s the nearest Void Crack?” Gui Zu imdiately looked at Yang Kai and asked nervously.
There were countless Void Cracks nearby, but none of them were visible, so Gui Zu could only pin his hopes on Yang Kai.
The Seven Coloured Radiant Light was an innate ability of the Seven Coloured Radiant Peacock Divine Bird, and was capable of rapidly disintegrating both a cultivator’s body and Soul while ignoring any kind of defence. Even Gui Zu had no confidence he could resist the Seven Coloured Radiant Light.
The only way to survive was to hide behind one of the Void Cracks nearby!
“Here!” Yang Kai did not beco flustered though and simply pointed towards a certain direction with confidence while rushing off.
Gui Zu’s figure flickered and followed close behind.
A mont later, the pair stood in a certain spot mid-air.
“Is there really a Void Crack here?” Gui Zu looked around as he watched the Seven Coloured Radiant Light diffuse towards them from the depths of the dicine valley. This tide was about to cover the spot they were standing in so he could not help feeling a little panicked.
“Of course,” Yang Kai smiled lightly and gestured, “Senior doesn’t need to be so nervous; this Junior would not play tricks with his life. En, this Void Crack is both tall and long!”
Seeing him speak with such confidence, Gui Zu relaxed sowhat.
Soon, the Seven Coloured Radiant Light swept past them!
Even with Yang Kai’s assurances, Gui Zu still leaked cold sweat as he watched the terrifying light flow over them.
Since breaking through to the Origin King Realm, he had not experienced such palpable fear.
Silence reigned...
The Seven Coloured Radiant Light swept over the location where the two stood as it continued to fill up the entire dicine valley at a rapid pace.
Yet where Yang Kai and Gui Zu stood, there was a ten-tre long patch that was not filled with Seven Coloured Radiant Light. The terrifying light in front of this narrow strip seed to have flown into so kind of bottomless abyss, disappearing entirely while leaving a safe place behind.
Gui Zu finally let out a sigh of relief.
Yang Kai was right, there was indeed a Void Crack here, but Gui Zu was unable to sense it even though he was standing right beside it. However, now that the Seven Coloured Radiant Light was outlining its existence, Gui Zu could see that its size and shape were just as Yang Kai had described earlier.
Looking at Yang Kai beside him, Gui Zu’s eyes flashed a complicated light.
He too had studied the Dao of Space and understood just how difficult it was to cultivate this esoteric Dao. He had been trapped on that floating continent for two thousand years yet barely scratched the surface, while Yang Kai had such profound achievents in this domain, making Gui Zu feel like his aptitude was simply unsightly.
What’s more... when he t Yang Kai so thirty years ago, this boy was only a First-Order Saint, but he was now a Third-Order Origin Returning Realm cultivator. This boy’s cultivation speed was simply too fast, quite likely faster than anyone in the entire Star Field.
This kid would definitely beco the most dazzling star in the Star Field’s future, Gui Zu thought in his heart.
