Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Minor World

Fang Bai and Ghost Hand emerged from the cave one after another, only to find themselves in a spacious tomb chamber that was several hundred square meters large.

This tomb chamber was extravagantly constructed, the walls meticulously polished to a mirrored finish, encrusted with countless gemstones and pearls, the majority of which were various Essence Stones.

Fang Bai’s gaze swept across the walls, and he roughly estimated that there were about seventy to eighty thousand Essence Stones embedded in them. This was indeed the largest source of cultivation resources Fang Bai had discovered since his rebirth.

With tens of thousands of Essence Stones clustered in this space, the released Essence Energy was undeniably rich. Being immersed within it, each breath inhaled seemed to fill the body with Essence Energy, creating a sensation of lightness as if one could fly. Even Fang Bai felt the urge to sit down cross-legged and devoutly cultivate right there.

Only now did Ghost Hand have a sudden realization. No wonder the vegetation on this hill was much more lush and vibrant than elsewhere; it was due to the nourishment of the abundant Essence Energy emitted from the Essence Stones within this chamber.

However, this place was still deep underground, and cultivating here would mean one couldn’t connect with the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy and comprehend the natural laws of the universe, which would greatly reduce the effectiveness of cultivation.

Fang Bai planned to take these Essence Stones out and set up an Essence Stone array at the most suitable location, to utilize them to their fullest potential.

In the entire tomb chamber, aside from the tens of thousands of colorful Essence Stones, what drew Fang Bai and his companions’ attention the most was a seated corpse at the center of the room.

The corpse was clad in a white robe, and appeared to have been around fifty years old at the time of death. From his facial features, one could tell he must have been quite handsome in his youth.

Based on the clothing and style of the corpse, it must have been dead for at least a hundred years. It was only due to the dense Essence Energy in the tomb chamber that the body remained uncorrupted, appearing almost lifelike.

Observing the corpse’s facial expression more closely, one could detect a hint of regret, reluctance, and resentment between his brows, as if there were unresolved matters before his death.

In front of the body stood a small gravestone, engraved with an inscription that recorded the corpse’s name and status.

After reading the inscription, Fang Bai learned that the corpse’s surname was Zhuge, named Zhuge Dingtian. He was indeed an Innate Expert in life, and a rare talent with both Water and Wood Spiritual Roots. He was just one step away from shattering the void to enter the legendary Cultivation World.

Regrettably, Zhuge Dingtian was hunted down due to a personal affair, forced to flee the Minor World and hide within mundane society, where he eventually died with lingering resentment.

"This Zhuge Dingtian comes from a Minor World... what place is that?"

Fang Bai muttered to himself.

In his previous life, Fang Bai was born in the Cultivation World. After experiencing countless years, he ultimately became the Immortal Emperor, completely unaware of what the so-called "Minor World" was.

"About the Minor World, I once found a book in the tomb of a Heaven Level Martial Artist, which did briefly mention something about it..."

Wu De racked his brains, thinking hard for a moment before saying, "That book noted that the so-called Minor World is a world even more secretive than the Hidden Sect World, where the people who live there dress in a way completely different from modern people, resembling the ancient people of a thousand years ago..."

"...The book said that the Minor World is a realm where true Martial Artists are revered, brimming with innumerable cultivation resources, where Heaven Level Martial Artists are insignificant. It seemed that above the Heaven Level, there are still several greater realms... As for which realms, it was not clearly stated..."

"Let’s put it this way, the way I understand the Minor World is that it’s a secretive world that lies between the Hidden Sect World and the Cultivation World... Sigh, I’ve been feeling more and more that this mundane world is too dull. First, there are too few people following the Martial Dao, and second, cultivation resources are hard to find... How great it would be to mix into the legendary Hidden Sect World or even the Minor World!"

Fang Bai, hearing Wu De say this, thought that so-called Minor Worlds must be the barriers created by some powerful being using heaven-reaching techniques in his previous life.

"Spirit Fox Grass! Tears of Crystal!"

Fang Bai’s gaze shifted from the inscriptions on the stone stele to the various flowers and plants surrounding the corpse of Zhuge Dingtian. His eyes suddenly brightened, and he exclaimed in a low voice, then quickly stepped forward to carefully examine the plants.

"Master, what kind of spiritual medicines are these?"

Ghost Hand had been following Fang Bai for some time, often listening to Fang Bai explain things he had never heard before.

For instance, with spiritual medicines, Ghost Hand had previously thought they were just some traditional Chinese medicinal materials with a long history, but now he understood that spiritual medicines could not only heal illnesses and injuries but could also be made into various elixirs to assist martial artists during cultivation.

Moreover, spiritual medicines were graded by quality, with older medicinal herbs being of higher grade and more potent.

Even some higher-grade spiritual medicines, upon consumption, could directly assist in breaking through barriers and advancing a martial artist’s realm to an entirely new level.

Ghost Hand knew that ordinary spiritual medicines were unlikely to impress his master, so seeing his master’s face filled with surprise and amazement, he knew that the spiritual medicines surrounding Zhuge Dingtian’s corpse must be extraordinary.

"Spirit Fox Grass... Tears of Crystal... strange names..."

Although Wu De was stronger and more knowledgeable than Ghost Hand, he was not a pharmacist and had little research into spiritual medicines. He only knew that these plants faintly pulsed with essence energy and had definitely aged for a very long time, likely being medicinal materials of extremely high medicinal value.

The two types of herbs surrounding Zhuge Dingtian’s corpse had one variety of leaves shaped like a fox’s tail and another with fruit the size of peanuts, shaped like glittering tears.

In the Cultivation World and the Immortal Realm from Fang Bai’s previous life, these two types of spiritual medicines were known as the Spirit Fox Grass and the Tears of Crystal.

The Spirit Fox Grass and Tears of Crystal contained Wood Element Qi and Water Element Qi, respectively, and were the main ingredients for concocting the Wood Element Pill and Water Element Pill.

And the Wood Element Pill and Water Element Pill were extremely important auxiliary cultivation resources for martial artists with a Wood Spirit Root and Water Spirit Root respectively.

Before this, Fang Bai had found a few stalks of Spirit Fox Grass from the belongings of Nangong Ming, a core disciple of the Hidden Sect "Ghost Doctor Valley," but those stalks only had two to three hundred years worth of medicinal age, considered low-grade spiritual medicine. Compared to the ones he was currently looking at, they were significantly inferior.

Upon closer inspection, there were at least a hundred stalks of the Spirit Fox Grass and Tears of Crystal, and every single one had at least five hundred years of medicinal age, already classified into the category of mid-grade spiritual medicines.

The essence energy contained within a single mid-grade spiritual medicine was equivalent to nearly a thousand low-grade essence stones, indicating its preciousness.

Under normal circumstances, spiritual medicines needed to be processed into elixirs by a pharmacist before martial artists could consume them for cultivation. Direct consumption of spiritual medicines might lead to injury of the meridians and blood vessels due to the medicine’s potency and the consumer’s weak constitution.
