Realms In The Firmament

Actually, the heavens wouldn’t create things that lasted forever. The special skill of Spirit Root was to primally work on its own fruits that wouldn’t rot. If the fruits were eaten by other beings, they became energy of the beings. If not, they would fall to the ground and be converted into the spiritual qi of the world because of the Spirit Root!

It was such a weird and magical existence. There was an enormous spiritual qi around the tree. The air was almost immobile around the qi so that no spiritual qi would spread out. Otherwise, the spiritual paste would spread qi in the air for sure. However, the special inner environment kept it from happening! It was such a miracle!

The reason why Ye Xiao recognized spiritual paste was that he used to see a bit of it when he was in an auction somewhere as Xiao Monarch. That was right. People measured spiritual paste with bits. That bit of spiritual paste made the entire auction hot up. The final price of it was ten thousand times of all Xiao Monarch had. Although he wasn’t a rich guy when he was Xiao Monarch, he was still a top level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator. However, he wasn’t even able to buy one of ten thousand of that bit of spiritual paste. That was so shameful!

Now that he got so much of it, he figured no matter what happened, this would be worth it.

When he finished picking up the spiritual paste, he started to look around. When he looked around, he felt that he was like an ignorant countryman!

He was such a stupid man!

What he could see in this layer were all kinds of precious valuable medical materials!

He had just glanced around the area within one thousand meters when he found a few other materials that were even more valuable than Rainbow Cinnabar Fruit!

”I am going to be rich! So rich…” He was even shaking now.

”Erhuo, get in the Space and be ready to take whatever I put in. Prepare to make dan beads!” Ye Xiao shouted and walked ahead.

”Holy heavens… Blood Ginseng? There is actually such a material. Into the Space.”

”Gold Ginseng? Good! Into the Space.”

”This… Could it be Nine-spirits Flyer? Hmm. Nice… It looks exactly like it is recorded… Get it.”

”Is this… Godly Heaven Root? It should be… Go, go, go…”

”What is this thing… all in white color? I don’t care… Just get it…”

He had been acting like a country bumpkin who came to town for the very first time since he entered this layer. He just swept everything he saw.

In the beginning, he would try to recognize some materials to see if he knew it. In the end, he just took everything he could, like a peasant taking every valuable thing into his pocket!

Wherever he went, there left a big pit… No spiritual qi was left!

He didn’t let go of anything at all!

He was like a soldier slaughtering a village!

Wherever he went, it became a waste area after…

The fourth layer was several times bigger than the third.

Ye Xiao had been collecting everything he could find since he entered this layer.

Normally, the higher it was, the fewer materials there would be. It took at least dozens of meters of distance between one valuable plant and another. It made sure every plant had enough room to absorb enough spiritual qi.

Rainbow Cinnabar Fruit, especially in such a level, would need a space that was bigger than a mountain.

If a huge mountain had the Rainbow Cinnabar Fruit, there would be no other plants except grasses that could be living around.

The other plants, not to mention spiritual medicines, would never grow within the area.

That was the overbearingness of spiritual medical materials!

That was the rule about surviving the selection!

However, the rule never worked in this place. The spiritual qi in this layer was too dense and rich!

There was only spiritual qi in, not out.

It at least had been gathering spiritual qi since tens of million years earlier. It was also spiritual qi from all different lands and realms. All the spiritual qi gathered in this place and made this spiritual qi become dense like solid.

No matter how much spiritual qi the plants needed, it would be more than enough.

Thus, no plants needed to fight for limited nutrition!

There were no fights among the spiritual plants in this place!

That was why there were so many different medical materials growing in this place.

Ye Xiao kept collecting all kinds of materials. In the end, he felt that he was a bit dumb. He then started to clear hundreds of acres of farmland in the Boundless Space and put the spiritual plants into it…

It was faster and more efficient.

The excitement kept driving him to do this for three whole days until he felt incredibly painful on the back. He nearly broke down because of exhaustion.

Then he realized he was such a typical idiot!

He had been collecting the plants in one direction all along. He was now only at the center of the fourth layer. He had only cleared the path which was dozens of meters wide and tens of thousand meters long… The rest of this place was still full of all kinds of spiritual plants!

He just looked around far and felt anxious and worried. That was such a huge amount. If he kept doing it like this, it would take him at least three years to clear everything!

Besides, he would have to work so hard and exhaust himself every day in the three years!

”So many… So fxcking many… How come…” He was upset but complaining impolitely.

If somebody heard his complaint, they would definitely beat him up so hard before doing anything else. [You got the chance to have all those medicines! Yet you actually complain about having too many? Kind deeds often go unappreciated, doesn’t it?] Of course, these people would have to give him a good lesson!

While he was complaining, he found something else. Over ten meters ahead of him, in the core area of the fourth layer, there was a rock stele. There were words on it.

The words nearly made Ye Xiao spit out a mouthful of fresh blood and stir the qi inside his chest.

’I know what you are doing now. You are a blessed man. I guess you have a private spiritual space that you can store the plants or something. I guess you are transplanting the medicines. I can assure you that when you see this stele, you have roughly finished collecting one out of a thousand… of all medicines in this layer.’

Then there was a smiling face at the end.

That was such a bothersome and annoying smiling face.
