“When I first traveled across the Central Continent, I made a name for myself. If it hadn’t been for someone touting my Yang invigorating effect, forcing me to seek refuge in the Seek Dao Sect, I would still be traveling around.”

“The person who traveled with me built a considerable reputation among your human race, called Master Old Moon. When he brought me to the Seek Dao Sect, he said he would mention me in his book, ensuring that the world would remember me.”

Master Old Moon was a famous traveler of the Central Continent. He enjoyed travelling and exploring, leaving his footprints in the Central Continent, Demon Territory, Buddha Country… His legends are scattered everywhere.

Legend has it that he served as a historian in the Great Xia Dynasty, meticulously recording Emperor Xia’s romantic adventures among the common people and his numerous illegitimate children.

He was kidnapped by the princess of the Long Clan in the Demon Territory and managed to escape during a forced marriage, being pursued all the way to the Buddha Country.

In Buddha Country, he posed as a monk and used the phrase “the Buddha said it is indescribable” whenever he encountered a logical flaw or an unanswerable question. This phrase later became widely circulated in the Buddha Country.

Master Old Moon wrote his experiences into books, which were quite popular in the Cultivation World.

Although there aren’t any explicit records about Master Old Moon’s cultivation level, Lu Yang believed it must be high — if it were low, he would have been killed long ago.

Little Ginseng is an excellent teacher. Many stories it shared are from its firsthand experiences. Some medicinal herbs in the medicine garden were even discovered during its travels with Scholar Shuiyue. Lu Yang was listening with keen interest.

The man and ginseng arrived at a tiny hut made from flora. The closer they got to the hut, the better they could feel the nearly tangible life force within, startling Lu Yang.

Something’s not right!” Lu Yang held his chest, his body uncontrollably trembling.

Thump, thump, thump… Lu Yang’s heartbeat became faster and faster, as though countless little insects were buzzing next to his ear.

Upon careful listening, a chill ran down Lu Yang’s spine. Those were not the sounds of insects at all, but countless voices speaking inside him!

The voices were crying out about being trapped in his body, longing to escape, to escape…

Little Ginseng was the first to notice something amiss with Lu Yang, exclaiming loudly, “Hey hey hey, there’s an outsider here! You guys be careful and draw back some of your life force, quick!”

Lu Yang used his cultivation skill to quell the turbulent blood within him, and the voices gradually vanished.

Lu Yang knelt on the ground, gasping for air, every recollection from before was not an illusion, something really was inside his body, but what was it?!

Little Ginseng placed down the Spirit Stone and rushed over to Lu Yang, his tone filled with regret.

“Sorry about that, I didn’t realize you hadn’t reached the Nascent Soul Stage.”

Unlike the human race, the progress of the Little Medicinal Kings is not defined by their cultivation level but by their age. Little Ginseng couldn’t judge Lu Yang’s cultivation level, but it found him agreeable.

“What was that just now?” A startled Lu Yang asked, feeling as though he had just walked a round in the Nine Nether Underworld.

“Little Ba and the major demon’s cultivation levels among your human race are too high. It made me neglect the impact our life force would have on you.”

“Our life force is too vigorous. It’s vigorous enough to give every one of your organs its own will, becoming a new entity. Only when you’ve cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage, completely opening your acupoints and your body is without leaks, you won’t be affected by our life force anymore.”

Hearing Little Ginseng’s commotion, countless three-inch-tall medicinal herbs hopped around Lu Yang.

“Ginseng King, is this a human? Why is he so tiny?”

“What do you mean, tiny? He’s clearly as tall as us, are you suggesting you’re tiny too!”

“It must be some magic skill! Human skills are astounding, changing from big to small is nothing strange. I’ve seen skills which can change men into women and humans into demons.”

“His cultivation level doesn’t seem very high, hasn’t reached pregnancy stage yet?”

“What pregnancy stage, Kirin King, your memory is failing you. It’s called the Nascent Soul Stage!”

“He seems unable to stand steadily. Let’s carry him into the house.”

The Little Medicinal Kings small talks roamed around quietly, buzzing uncomfortably.

They lifted Lu Yang above their heads and carried him into the hut made from plants.

The Enlightenment Tree King stood outside, scratching its trunk. Its leaves rustling, it was too tall to enter the small hut.

Only when inside the hut did Lu Yang realize it was not built from flora, but from ancient woods. Influenced by the Little Medicinal Kings’ life force, the woods bloomed with fresh leaves and flowers, covering their original appearance.

Lu Yang felt much better. He slowly got up and identified these Medicinal Kings.

Ironically, he didn’t recognize any.

“Human, what’s your name?” Asked a little grass with three tender leaves. It was entirely silver, dotted with stardust on its leaf surface, resembling a miniature universe.”

“Younger generation’s name is Lu Yang, may I know the elder is…?” Lu Yang asked politely. In terms of age, the Little Medicinal Kings weren’t just his seniors, but the seniors of everyone in the Seek Dao Sect.

“It’s Trifoliate Star Herb. We all call it Star King.” Another Little Medicinal King spoke fast. It was a seven-colour flower, its petals corresponding with the five colours of the five elements. Its flower center was divided into black and white. Within the black was a patch of white, and within the white was a patch of black, creating an image similar to the Tai Chi symbol. It looked like a water-ink painting, extremely beautiful, making one unable to help but lose themselves in it.

“I’m Time Termination Flower, you can call me End King. Everyone says I’m the most beautiful flower. I think people are just jealous of my charm and want to lull me with flattery. Being a humble Medicinal King myself, I think I’m just the second-most beautiful flower in the world…” Time Termination Flower gabbled on non-stop.

Lu Yang stared at Time Termination Flower for two seconds. His pupils gradually dilated as he could hardly believe his eyes. Although he did not recognize Time Termination Flower’s appearance, he had heard of its notorious name.

“The Time Termination Flower, is that the flower that rumoured to bloom in its most beautiful state only when the world ends and all creatures die, making time standstill?!”

No wonder Lu Yang was so shocked. According to the ancient records, the blooming of the Time Termination Flower signified the end of the world, essentially a reshuffling of the entire world.

However, as far as history goes, no such world-changing event had ever happened!

Time Termination Flower scratched its nectar with an annoyed look: “Some people do say that, but I remember blooming peacefully and everyone was happy. There was no disaster, so probably the story about my bloom is a rumor.”

Just as Lu Yang was about to ask something else, another Little Medicinal King started speaking.

“Lu Yang, what brings you to the medicine garden? Did Little Ba instruct you to pick some herbs?” A little green kirin asked, exquisite as a jade sculpture, certainly otherworldly.

Lu Yang jolted in surprise: “Kirin?!”

A kirin is a mysterious, legendary creature. There might not even be one or two in the whole world, making them even rarer than those in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. Only brief records in ancient books could hint at their existence. Was there really one in the Seek Dao Sect?

The depths of the Seek Dao Sect were far beyond Lu Yang’s imagination.

Little Ginseng explained: “It’s the Kirin Immortality Medicine. Its current form is its magic incarnation. Your cultivation level is not sufficient yet. Once you reach the Divinity Transformation Stage and cultivate the Heavenly Eye, you’ll be able to see its true form..”
