Chapter 91: Herbal Sight II

[HERBAL SIGHT]

• Name: Golden Meridian Flower

• Grade: Master Spirit Herb

• Properties: Reconstructs damaged meridians, permanently enhances resistance to Qi backlash, and serves as the core ingredient for Meridian-Forging Pills.

Seana’s pulse raced. A Master Grade herb growing in an ordinary forest!

Lothe’s issue right now isn’t damaged meridians—it’s soul and vitality exhaustion. Using this now would be reckless.

She carefully uprooted the golden flower, transferring it whole into her Soul Manor’s fertile soil to cultivate later.

Then, her gaze drifted toward a patch of dark, withered weeds beneath a rotting log.

To the naked eye, it looked completely dead. But through [Herbal Sight], an astonishingly dense, black-violet vortex of spiritual power hummed inside its petals!

[HERBAL SIGHT]

• Name: Nightmare Lotus

• Grade: King Spirit Herb

• Properties: Contains highly concentrated soul-nourishing energy. Fortifies spiritual consciousness and serves as the sovereign ingredient for High-Tier Soul Restoration Elixirs.

Seana froze in shock.

"King Grade...?"

She stared at the tiny dark flower in disbelief. This forest was an untouched goldmine! She extracted the Nightmare Lotus with extreme reverence, storing it away safely. She didn’t dare refine it yet—her current cultivation was insufficient to tame a King Grade ingredient without risking backlash.

She continued foraging for several more minutes, gathering Thunderleaf Grass (Advanced Grade), Jadeheart Root (Master Grade), and several potent toxic specimens like Corpse-Bloom Mushrooms and Venomshade Flowers.

To an ordinary cultivator, poisons were deadly hazards.

To a master alchemist, poison was simply unrefined medicine waiting to be mastered.

Realizing she had gathered enough, Seana cut her search short. Lothe comes first!

She dashed back to the clearing.

The moment she saw him, her heart dropped into her stomach.

Lothe’s chin was resting against his chest, his skin pale as paper, his breathing growing dangerously shallow.

"Little Fox..."

Seana dropped to her knees beside him, her jaw clenching with determination. "Hold on. I’m going to pull you back."

She closed her eyes and plunged her consciousness straight into her Soul Manor!

——————————

Inside the Soul Manor...

Seana materialized directly in front of the Ember Flame Cauldron.

BOOM!

With a single thought, crimson flames erupted beneath the bronze vessel, roaring with intense thermal energy.

Floating before her were the ingredients she had handpicked:

The Spirit-Calming Moonflower (Common)

The Verdant Thread Grass (Common)

The Silverleaf Moss (Advanced)

A stalk of Soul-Bright Clover from her earlier stash.

She carried the four herbs to the Mistbloom Spirit Field, briefly pressing their roots into the glowing soil.

WHOOSH!

Dense life Qi surged through the spirit field. The nearby Verdant Heart Vines unfurled, releasing a gentle, revitalizing mist. The harvested herbs greedily absorbed the life energy, their medicinal properties purifying and harmonizing in seconds!

"Time to refine," Seana murmured, returning to the cauldron.

First went the Spirit-Calming Moonflower. Its silver petals dissolved under the heat, melting into a shimmering translucent liquid.

Next was the Verdant Thread Grass, infusing the concoction with bright green vitality.

Then she added the Silverleaf Moss. A soothing, radiant barrier formed over the boiling mixture, immediately suppressing the volatile thermal fluctuations.

Finally, she dropped in the Soul-Bright Clover!

BOOOOOOM!!

The medicinal energy detonated inside the cauldron, threatening to blow the lid off!

"Settle down!"

Seana extended both hands, pouring pure Crimson Blood Qi into the cauldron. She didn’t fight the explosion with brute force; instead, she synchronized her breathing and internal Qi with the rhythm of a beating heart.

Thump... thump... thump.

The turbulent medicinal essence gradually fell into a smooth, circular circulation.

Yet Seana knew this alone was not enough.

Lothe was suffering from both physical vitality collapse and severe soul-pool depletion. Plants alone could not bridge the gap quickly enough.

She retrieved a small crystal vial containing a single drop of Silver Horn Wolf Blood—a beast known for its exceptionally balanced life-force structure.

She had kept the blood of the Silver Horn Wolves in vials placing them in shelves in her little laboratory.

"Act as the bridge," she whispered, pouring the blood into the cauldron.

HISSSSSSS!

The boiling liquid instantly flashed brilliant silver-red!

The wolf’s blood acted as the ultimate organic catalyst, weaving the restorative herbal energy together with pure biological vitality, creating an elixir that could nourish the body without clashing against his unstable soul!

Seana maintained the delicate heartbeat rhythm for twenty agonizing minutes, sweat beading across her forehead.

Too hot, and the clover burns.

Too cool, and the wolf blood fails to bind.

She held the temperature at absolute perfection.

CLINK!

The cauldron’s lid lifted, and four radiant, silver-red medicinal pills floated gracefully into the air, enveloped in a gentle crimson halo.

Seana reached out, catching them in her palm.

PING!

Seana’s face lit up with overwhelming relief.

"Please..." she prayed, clutching the warm pills tightly. "Let this be enough."

——————————

Outside, in the Physical World...

Lothe’s consciousness was drifting across a dark, silent abyss.

PING!

[CRITICAL SYSTEM WARNING!]

[Soul Energy critically depleted!]

[Current Soul Pool: 420 / 3,000!]

[Spiritual Foundation stability falling below safe thresholds!]

[Host experiencing severe mental blackout risk!]

Warning after warning flashed across his failing vision.

Lothe ignored every single one.

His breathing was dangerously slow, his vision blurred into grey shadows. Yet he stubbornly refused to surrender to the darkness.

He had endured the ancient demon’s soul curse. He had dismantled an ancient primordial array from within. He was not about to die on a bed of leaves in an ordinary forest!

Seana told me to hold on, he repeated like a mantra in his failing mind.

His bloody fingers dug weakly into the damp dirt.

So I’ll hold on.

The system chime continued blaring alarms in his head.

Lothe weakly curved the corner of his lips.

Damn system... you’re so noisy...

He couldn’t even summon the strength to scoff aloud. But his stubborn will refused to yield.

He trusted her with his life. He knew she would return with a miracle.

Hurry up, Seana... his mind whispered into the encroaching void.

I’m running out of time​
