Austin stared at the many herbs on his hands, counting the number and examining each herb. There were more than a thousand high grade superior herbs in total.
By now, he had accumulated more than five thousand superior herbs at the sixth grade, and even higher.
In order for him to practice the Immortal Body Refining Formula again, he would have to get another four thousand superior herbs at the sixth grade or above.
With this in mind, Austin went on walking forward.
The sun was up and glowed on the ground in front of him. It spread a floodlight among the flowers that were in full bloom, flaunting a parade of colors. The grass was bright green and enclosed the flowers everywhere. Giant trees surrounded the area with their towering height and threatening presence.
Apart from Austin, all the other cultivators had stopped picking herbs and went deep into the valley because there was no superior herbs left in that area.
As Austin continued with his walk, his eyes were fixed on a valley not too far away from him.
Along the valley was an old herb garden that was shrouded in divine light. It illuminated the entire place making it look magical. The dense spiritual energy rose from the ground and turned into water at mid-air and oozed in the air.
Austin could only stare at the herb garden in amazement.
Along the garden was a golden path, lined with superior herbs of high grade everywhere. It radiated with bright, colorful lights that magnified the beauty of the surrounding. Even if he was still far away from the garden, the intoxicating fragrance of the herbs lingered in his nose and made him feel like he was floating on air.
Austin sized up the place from where he stood, and he could envision at least tens of thousands of superior herbs in the garden.
He also found hundreds of intelligent herbs. They were running around, playing with each other.
'There are a few hundred semi-omnipotent herbs.'
Austin's heart skipped a bit.
In the East Mainland, the semi-omnipotent herb was extremely rare and precious.
But Austin could see it all the time since he entered the Fallen Immortal World. It seemed like the semi-omnipotent herb was not a priceless treasure but just a common herb in this place.
It was the first time that he had seen several hundred semi-omnipotent herbs.
As Austin fixed his gaze at the garden, he recognized a human figure along the herbs in the garden. This caught him by surprise, and he stared harder to make sure.
It was a boy in purple who looked about four or five years old. He was sitting cross-legged at the back of an old turtle.
The old turtle walked slowly along the paths in the garden. They both appeared to be calm and carefree.
He also saw a long white snake curled up in one corner of the garden. The sun beamed on the snake's body making it sparkle like drops of snow.
"What's going on over there? I can't believe that there is someone, a human in the herb garden. And it's a young boy, just about four or five years old!"
It surprised Austin.
'Is it possible that he is not human, but from another race? Perhaps it is a beast with a human body?'
Austin shook his head, confused with the scene in front of him.
By this time, a large group of cultivators walked up to him.
"It's a herb garden!"
"Oh my gosh! At least a hundred semi-omnipotent herbs grow in that place!"
More people came and spotted the old herb garden ahead of them.
"This is weird. How come a kid is inside?"
"Is that a turtle and a white snake?"
Everyone was confused with what they saw at the garden.
'An old herb garden, an old turtle with a young child on top of it, walking around leisurely. Plus a big white snake is lying in the corner, basking in the sun's glory.
Something is not right. The boy in purple, the old turtle and the white snake, it all doesn't add up, ' they thought to themselves confused.
Curious, they each had a closer look using their spiritual sense. They found that the boy in purple had fair skin and seemed to be fairy-like and cheerful. As they looked closer, they saw the pattern of Eight Trigrams on the back of the old turtle which was as big as a table.
The snake was not a regular snake. It was excessive in length and was white as jade.
Even from afar, everyone could feel that the child, the turtle and the snake, were sacred and supernatural. It seemed like they belonged in the garden, and they were at peace.
