...

The Four Symbols Prime Qi fused, and Qin Fang's strength improved significantly. Naturally, there was no need to stay here any longer…

Pang Sihai, on the other hand, had already achieved his purpose for this trip. He could have returned directly to the cultivation secret chamber and silently waited for the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm to close so that he could leave safely!

However, he felt that following Qin Fang might bring more benefits, so he shamelessly decided to stay.

After packing up, Qin Fang and Pang Sihai departed together, and Jia Siping naturally followed them as well… Although he seemed quite normal now, with almost no signs of anomaly, a deep-rooted thought had settled within him.

When Pang Sihai discovered this, his face turned a bit pale…

This secret technique was truly terrifying; despite Jia Siping's recovery, his attitude towards Qin Fang remained exactly as it was when he was controlled… His eyes still held a deep-seated hostility as if he was still resentful of past grievances.

However, under Qin Fang's control, Jia Siping did not attack Pang Sihai, maintaining a relatively balanced situation…

But Pang Sihai strongly believed that if he showed even a hint of harmful intention towards Qin Fang, Jia Siping would immediately attack him… This was why Pang Sihai always kept his distance from Jia Siping.

Jia Siping seemed quite content with this distance and thus did not display any previous hostility.

The Secret Realm Gate had been found, and roughly located, but the opening of the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm was still about three days away, and Qin Fang certainly didn't intend to come for nothing; he planned to thoroughly plunder the place.

In the outside world, those rare herbs might be hard to find, but in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, they were quite common, and Qin Fang had already gathered a considerable amount, enough to last him for a while!

As for Spiritual Medicines, outside, every sect would treat them as treasured items under cautious protection, and just one plant could spark bloody conflict… The higher the quality of the Spiritual Medicine, the stronger the sect it could attract.

If something akin to the Golden Dragon Saliva appeared, the Five Great Sects, Demonic Gate, Sinister Sect might all take action…

But in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, although Spiritual Medicines were not as abundant as the rare herbs, they weren't scarce either, especially for some low-grade Spiritual Medicines, which could easily be found one or two plants of.

Of course, scenes like the Nine Serenities Forbidden Lands with hundreds of Spiritual Medicines together were exceptionally rare, only possible in such special environments, and once left, it was seldom seen.

Yet, despite this, Qin Fang still managed to gather many Spiritual Medicines, mainly low-grade and mid-grade types, with only a few superior elixirs making up less than half a portion… As for those superb Spiritual Medicines, Qin Fang had yet to encounter any.

These level of Spiritual Medicines typically grow in areas with very dense Spiritual Energy, and strong Spiritual Beasts are sure to guard the surrounding areas… In the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, the Spiritual Beasts can only be considered minor characters, while most of those powerful existences are at least Spirit Beast King Level.

That was equivalent to Supreme Realm Level powerhouses, far beyond the range Qin Fang could contend with…

However, Qin Fang clearly didn't want to leave empty-handed…

Such a treasure land, rare to enter, if he couldn't acquire some superb Spiritual Medicines, it would indeed be a great loss, and he was pondering finding an opportunity to make a move… If grabbing by force was not successful, then he could resort to strategic planning.

Humans are the leaders of all beings, with wisdom equally formidable…

Though the Spirit Beast King's wisdom is not inferior to humans, compared truthfully, humans still hold the absolute advantage; as long as the plan is properly arranged, he could obtain the treasures effortlessly!

"Young Master Qin, there's a valley ahead, inside there's a plant of treasure medicine, but there's a Spirit Beast King guarding it. Earlier, I nearly didn't escape…"

Knowing Qin Fang's purpose, Jia Siping immediately gave a brief account.

When he was transported inside, he unexpectedly landed in a valley with extremely dense Spiritual Energy, and at a glance, he saw the treasure medicine growing on a small pond… Ink Jade Immortal Lotus, his eyes practically lit up at that moment.

However, before he could reach out for this treasure medicine, he was shocked to discover… shadowy eyes had already fixed on him.

Only a slight release of its aura almost instantly wiped out Jia Siping… Jia Siping was skilled with a sword, physically not strong, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for Qin Fang to knock him out cold with a club.

Faced with such a terrifying Spirit Beast King, Jia Siping almost didn't think, immediately turned around, and fled, without a care for the treasure medicine Ink Jade Immortal Lotus…

That Spirit Beast King didn't seem to bother much about "ants" like Jia Siping, scared him off and continued lurking near the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus, showing no intention of leaving the valley; thus, allowing Jia Siping to narrowly escape.

If Jia Siping were still the same as he was before, he would definitely not go to that valley again, nor take this risk, but now Qin Fang has given the orders, so he relayed the matter and left the decision to Qin Fang.

"Ink Jade Immortal Lotus?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang was instantly intrigued.

Ink Jade Immortal Lotus is a treasure herb, the legendary Superb Spiritual Medicine... It's an extremely precious elixir, coveted by even Spirit Beast Kings and Supreme Realm powerhouses.

Back when Qin Fang discovered a Netherworld Ghost Lotus in the Netherworld Blood Pool, it was also a very fine elixir. Unfortunately, the formation of that Blood Pool was too brief; had it existed for over a thousand years, the Netherworld Ghost Lotus might have grown to the level of the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus's Supreme Spiritual Medicine.

These two lotus treasure herbs are originally opposing yet complementary Supreme Spiritual Medicines...

One hadn't matured and was destroyed by Qin Fang, while the other had been growing in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm for several millennia, already reaching the level of Supreme Spiritual Medicine, otherwise it wouldn't be guarded non-stop by the Spirit Beast King.

"Could it be close to maturing?"

Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter.

Ink Jade Immortal Lotus is incredibly mystical and powerful; its environmental requirements for growth aren't particularly high, just an exceedingly dense spiritual energy is enough, but its growth and maturity process is extremely prolonged, blossoming and bearing fruit once every thousand years.

Like a jade-black lotus flower, absorbing a millennium's worth of spiritual energy, it then produces a single lotus pod, which at most yields nine lotus seeds, generally only five or six, naturally making them exceedingly rare.

Each Ink Jade Lotus seed is equivalent to a Supreme Spiritual Medicine, containing spiritual energy of the highest caliber; consuming one is akin to ingesting a super-enhanced Azure Dragon Pill...

Generally, consuming an Azure Dragon Pill offers a high chance of advancing to the Supreme Realm, but there's still a certain failure risk.

But these Ink Jade Lotus seeds pose no such risks, not only allowing a person to ascend smoothly but also enabling the rapid formation of a Gangqi Territory, even directly crossing from the Supreme Realm Initial Stage to Mid-stage Supreme Realm!

If used for healing, it's even a miraculous medicine for reviving the dead and regenerating bones... There's no exaggeration in this, as long as there's still a breath of life, even if severely injured, one can come back to life and mostly recover their cultivation.

Certainly, Ink Jade Lotus seeds are the essence formed from the millennium fruiting process of Ink Jade Lotus...

Even the gradually falling petals of the Ink Jade Lotus remain potent, albeit slightly inferior to the seeds, yet still equating to high-quality Superior Elixirs. If any fragment of the essence lingers on the petals, they might also be considered Supreme Spiritual Medicine.

Moreover, the lotus pod also has some marvelous uses, aside from medicinal purposes, it can be utilized to feed Spiritual Beasts, enhancing their physical bodies and potentially granting some extremely special abilities... This is merely a martial world rumor, not easily verified.

It is because the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus is valuable in every aspect, that its name bears the character "Immortal."

In ancient times, such treasure herbs could be synonymous with "Immortal Pills, Miracle Medicines."

"Come, let's go together and take a look..."

Aware of the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus's rarity, Qin Fang quickly took action, swiftly heading with Jia Siping leading the way, the three of them rushed towards the location.

As an Alchemist, Qin Fang understood the marvelous uses of Ink Jade Immortal Lotus better than Jia Siping...

Jia Siping only knew of the powerful effects of the Ink Jade Lotus seeds, far stronger than Azure Dragon Pill, yet was unaware of another even more terrifying use... for medicinal purposes, refining the legendary... Ascension Pill.

Whether the Ascension Pill can transform a mortal body into a legendary deity, Qin Fang isn't too sure, but he vaguely knows... once human cultivation reaches the Supreme Realm Pinnacle, advancing further becomes exceptionally challenging.

The Ascension Pill serves precisely to aid such powerhouses in reaching higher levels...

Supreme Realm Pinnacle powerhouses are already at the pinnacle of humanity, and if one could advance further, such existence might be considered comparable to deities...

However, Qin Fang considers this nothing more than pondering.

Leaving aside whether they can seize that Ink Jade Immortal Lotus from that Spirit Beast King, even if successfully obtained, the Ink Jade Immortal Lotus may not have fruited, not to mention Qin Fang's inability to refine such an Ascension Pill...

First, Qin Fang's alchemy level is still too low, perhaps only upon reaching the Supreme level of Alchemy Technique Skill could this become possible.

The second point being that the other necessary ingredients for the Ascension Pill are nearly as rare as Ink Jade Lotus seeds, extremely hard to come by... (To be continued.
