Chapter 95 Inheritance Assessment
"So this herb garden is likely a test from the ruins for us, but what exactly is being tested?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Could it be that they are testing our character? Faced with so many spiritual herbs, we have no greed whatsoever. If we remain incorruptible until the very last moment, the ruins might really appreciate us!"
Many people thought this made perfect sense, and they all took out their prayer mats and sat cross-legged next to the medicinal herbs, staring intently at them.
"This spiritual herb seems to be the Jade Heart Grass, which can calm the mind and soothe the spirit. It can be used to make the Tranquilizing Pill, which is very effective against inner demons!"
"That one looks like the Bone Yin-Yang Flower. It usually grows in places covered with bones. Why is it here too?" Another disciple gasped.
"I've heard that this White Bone Yin-Yang Flower has fetched astronomical prices at the Treasure Pavilion outside, and some people are even willing to pay a million spirit stones just to get their hands on this spiritual flower!"
"No, I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I really didn't see it!" The disciple swallowed hard, his hands trembling.
"No, I will not be tempted by this. It's just a million spirit stones."
"It's just a million spirit stones, boohoo, I'm not tempted at all! I really didn't see any!"
He covered his eyes tightly with trembling hands, but the next second, a gust of wind blew by and a disciple plucked out the White Bone Yin-Yang Flower.
This disciple was from the Qing Shi Sect. His teleportation location was very coincidental; he was teleported into the barrier and ended up in the spirit herb garden.
Upon seeing such a precious medicinal herb, he didn't hesitate to pluck it up and run away.
Before anyone else could warn them, a scream was heard. The person who had pulled out the Bone Yin-Yang Flower gradually dissolved and finally disappeared completely.
The medicinal herb that had been pulled away inexplicably returned to its original position, still looking half-dead.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They were extremely grateful that they hadn't attacked the spiritual herbs earlier, otherwise they would have been the first to dissolve!
"The clothes that person was wearing just now seemed very unfamiliar. Which sect does he belong to?" someone asked in a puzzled tone.
"These are clothes from the Qing Shi Sect, right? How did this sect get in?"
"I don't know, but we need to hurry. If other sects come in, there will definitely be a lot of people vying for this inheritance."
The people discussed in hushed tones, but Yunxi felt that this test was not so simple. However, she was not quite sure, so she found a spiritual herb in front of her and slowly sensed it.
Sensing several insects beneath the leaves of the medicinal herb, she carefully poked them off with a twig.
"Junior Sister Yun, please don't touch these spiritual herbs!" Lin Nian was extremely anxious. After all, Junior Sister Yun was the sect leader's daughter. If anything happened to her, the sect leader would definitely retaliate against them!
"I'll give it a try." Yunxi saw the dry soil under the medicinal herb and felt that the area might be lacking moisture.
He then took out a jade bottle from the storage bag. This jade bottle was actually a storage space filled with a lot of spiritual water, since the leaves of that spiritual herb had all dried up.
Lin Nian, sitting opposite, took a deep breath: "Junior Sister Yun, there aren't many disciples from our Southern Spirit Sect in this Spirit Herb Garden. At this time, we should unite and not try. Wouldn't it be better if everyone persevered until the very last moment and passed the test?"
I'm doing this for the sect's sake. What if disciples from other sects show up and try to attack us? Even the people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land wouldn't dare mess with us!
Yunxi shook her head: "Senior Brother Lin, you take the other senior brothers and sisters with you, don't worry about me. I have to try it, otherwise it won't do for everyone to just stand here like idiots."
Lin Nian turned and left, inwardly furious that she was ungrateful.
He wanted to see how this junior sister would handle the situation. If she ended up dissolving like that disciple from the Qing Shi Sect, it wouldn't be his problem; he had already tried to dissuade her!
After Lin Nian left, Yun Xi continued to try. She felt that her intuition was correct; all the medicinal herbs in front of her had problems and needed careful handling.
She carefully sprinkled some water from the jade bottle onto the soil, then found a few insects gnawing on the roots and casually tossed them into the wooden box in her storage bag.
After taking good care of this medicinal herb, she turned to other medicinal herbs.
On the other side, Lan Yue and Qing Zhu also fell into a strange space. The space was empty, but the surrounding walls were engraved with many lines.
When Lan Yue walked in, she initially thought the lines were chaotic and disorderly, but later she felt that they seemed to contain some kind of reason.
[Lan Yue: System, where is this place? Why do I feel like these are all formations?]
[System: You've hit the jackpot! This is indeed an ancient array tower. Many ancient array masters once studied arrays here, and quite a few left behind their own created arrays.]
Lan Yue's eyes lit up. So many self-created arrays left behind by ancient array masters—what an amazing legacy this must be!
Therefore, this place must be the site where the relics were passed down!
[System: Don't be too happy yet, because although they created their own formations, some of them are incomplete and require careful identification by later generations. Even if you obtain some incomplete formations, they will be useless.]
Lan Yue's ears drooped instantly. She thought she had really changed her luck and gone from a minor cannon fodder to a higher level!
[Lan Yue: I think I just saw Senior Sister Qingzhu and Li Bai fall together, why aren't they here?]
[System: This is an ancient array tower, containing many different spaces. Each person's space is different; this is the array tower's test for you.]
"I see." Lan Yue finally understood. No wonder this place felt so empty; it turned out she was the only one there.
"But how can I learn all this stuff? If I study for so long and then find out it's only half-finished, how frustrating would that be!" Lan Yue felt this wouldn't do; she had to find a way.
[System: When it comes to formations, it all depends on yourself; no one can help you with that.]
"Got it!" Lan Yue clapped her hands sharply.
...
Many people have expressed that we don't have enough content and need more updates, but I'm actually a bit overwhelmed because the results are really not ideal. We can barely make ends meet, and they're even dropping rapidly. How about we set up a rule for more updates to motivate me? It's that you can generate electricity three times a day just by watching the videos, and I'll only get a penny.
I'll add one more chapter for every 1200 followers, and so on. I see there are quite a few little angels following my updates every day. I calculated that if one-fifth of them tap their little fingers a little each day, I estimate I can add one chapter every two or three days.
If we have enough quantity each day, then we'll add more every day. If I'm too busy at the time, I'll definitely write it down in my notebook and try to add it as quickly as possible. Of course, I'll check the progress with you every day so you can stay informed.
Let's give this extra update a try (tentative, will change if it doesn't work), otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to resist giving up.
