Chapter 359: Sweet Flag Leaf

“This doesn’t make sense?!”

Jiang Yi tossed all those weapons which were in disorder to the side and opened every jade box, making sure that there were only spirit herbs and no celestial stones. He then muttered with doubt, “The Witch God is so powerful and actually doesn’t have any celestial stones? Could it be that he refined all the celestial stones?”

“Stop looking!”

An aged voice suddenly echoed which gave Jiang Yi a shock. The Witch God’s voice quickly echoed: “This old man doesn’t have any celestial stone here. In order to walk further in the martial dao, one’s foundation is very important. It is precisely because this old man refined too many celestial stones; hence, I am unable to take the final step. There are no shortcuts in the martial dao. Although the energy in the celestial stones is very pure and wouldn’t leave any side effects on the human body, your strength isn’t increased step by step; and your body isn’t nurtured by heaven and earth energy. It is unable to withstand such powerful essence force and might just explode. It would minimally affect your strength and even your future progress.”

“I see!”

Jiang Yi nodded, but he didn’t really mind it.

He was urgently in need to increase his strength to protect himself. The three-year promise was just like a suspended blade above his head, giving him so much pressure that he was suffocating. He might have the assistance of this peak-grade demon king, but the strength of that old ancestor from the Azure Dragon Dynasty was definitely not weaker than this demon king. There was also the rest of the Vajra Realm martial experts from the five other vassal kingdoms.

As for the future? He didn’t consider such a distant matter. As long as he could survive, it wouldn’t be too late to find a way to alter his constitution.

“Your soul spirit and physical body are rather weak. If you are going to use the spirit herbs here, then you should refine the Dragon Sun Herb in the third box and the Sweet Flag Leaf in the sixth box. You shouldn’t touch the rest of the spirit herbs as your current strength is still unsuitable to refine them. As for weapons… you shouldn’t rely on it. A true expert will never rely on weapons and artifacts as dao patterns are our strongest attack.”

After the Witch God transmitted another message, he went silent again. Jiang Yi bowed with cupped hands to give his thanks and looked at the third and the sixth jade boxes.

“Physical body! Soul Spirit!”

Jiang Yi’s physical body was very weak. It was why even though his essence force was already at the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm, his speed and reaction speed were still at the first stage of Soul Travel Realm. Jiang Yi was even less knowledgeable about soul spirit, but since the Witch God said it, he naturally went on to refine it immediately.

He opened the third jade box and saw a spirit herb which looked like a small green dragon. There was emitting a faint radiance, and it was obviously an extraordinary item.

There was a small book within the jade box, and after Jiang Yi took a quick read, he felt a little suspicious. The small book stated the crucial points on how to refine the Dragon Sun Herb, and it was in detail. Why did the Witch God treat him so well to even make such preparations?

“Prince?”

There was a small name at the final part of the book, which Jiang Yi quickly realized something. This item was obviously given to the Witch God by a notable figure from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, but the Witch God didn’t refine it. This small book must have been written by a prince of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom back in the days? His objective must be to curry favor with the Witch God.

“This Dragon Sun Herb is too troublesome to refine, and it requires at least two weeks. I will refine it in the future.”

Jiang Yi kept it properly in the jade box before tossing it into the Fire Spirit Pearl. He then opened the sixth jade box and noticed that it was a spiritual and pure leaf, which looked just like suet white jade. It was emitting a faint fragrance and felt intoxicating with a single whiff.

This jade box also had a little book, but the handwriting looked different and was possibly gifted by another individual to the Witch God. Jiang Yi took a quick read and decided that he would refine this Sweet Flag Leaf first. This spirit herb was easy to refine and didn’t have any special things to pay attention to. It only required one day to refine, and the medicinal properties would linger around the soul spirit, slowly nurturing the soul spirit. It was a type of mild spirit herb.

Jiang Yi wasn’t knowledgeable about soul spirit.

What use was there for the soul spirit to be powerful? Jiang Yi couldn’t understand that, but since the Witch God said so, he naturally wouldn’t go against it. He took out the Sweet Flag Leaf gently and sat cross-legged to refine it.

He used his essence force to envelop the Sweet Flag Leaf. The leaf gradually became smaller, and a trace of refreshing energy entered his body. There was no need to control it as it automatically flowed to the mind and revolved around the soul spirit.

“Great!”

Jiang Yi felt comfort from his head to his feet, and all the pores in his body had smoothened out. It was a wonderful sensation. As he was immersed in this sensation, he concentrated on using his essence force to refine the Sweet Flag Leaf.

One day later, the Sweet Flag Leaf had completely vanished; and Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was wrapped around by this green energy. The energy was slowly being absorbed by the soul spirit, and with his inner vision, he could see that the soul spirit was gradually enlarging. It was a very mystical feeling.

“Alright!”

After checking his entire body and making sure there weren’t any problems with his body, Jiang Yi stood up and scanned the surround artifacts. He ultimately fixed his eyes on a longsword, a longbow, and a beautiful raincoat.

The longsword and longbow were both saint artifact. Especially that longbow which was revolved around with splendor, which looked abnormally magnificent!

The Witch God asked him to not rely on weapons and artifacts, but he didn’t mention that Jiang Yi couldn’t touch the weapons in here. He was actually going to bring these items out for gifts.

The longbow and the longsword were very suitable for Su Ruoxue. This raincoat wasn’t a saint artifact, but it should be a defense type heaven artifact, and he wanted to give it to Jiang Xiaonu. That pleasant little servant girl didn’t have any way to protect herself, and this raincoat was a good artifact to protect her from any sneak attacks.

After keeping these three artifacts, Jiang Yi randomly picked some heaven artifacts. The Witch God instructed him to not touch any of the spirit herbs, and so he left by using the restriction to teleport back to the fourth floor.

After recuperating for an entire day, He Lao’s injuries were much better, but his left leg was still fractured, which wouldn’t recover without recuperating for two or three days. When He Lao saw Jiang Yi returning, he was immediately elated. He gritted his teeth and stood up to speak, “Young Master Yi, Old He is fine now. Let us go out first. It is unknown what is happening on the outside. Queen Ruoxue, Young Clan Head, and Young Master Qian must be very anxious.”

“En, that will be good! After exiting, we will ride on Big Huang; and you can recuperate along the way.” Jiang Yi muttered for a moment and nodded. He looked over at the iced sea and yelled out, “Demon king, come out!”

Bang!

The sea water was rolling around, and there was a sudden burst of waves as a giant demonic beast emerged. A green vase appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand as he spoke softly, “Demon king. Although the space in this vase isn’t large—since you don’t want to parade yourself, then you should hide in this vase. If there is nothing serious, I will not call you out.”

The demon king circled around in the air and spoke in an unsatisfied tone, “Don’t call this king out unless you are going to be killed. It is very humiliating! Understand, kid?!”

Buzz!

The Green Clear Vase lit up as a green light enveloped the demon king, causing its body to vanish from mid-air. Jiang Yi took a look inside and noticed that the demon king had entered the Green Clear Vase. The space inside wasn’t huge; the Yazi Beast’s massive body took up half of the space within it. It grunted with dissatisfaction before closing its eyes to sleep.

“Young Master Yi, the space within the Green Clear Vase is so small. Be sure to inject some essence force every month; otherwise, the demon king might be stuffed to death.”

He Lao had heard of the Green Clear Vase before and informed Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi didn’t take it to mind. This Yazi Beast was so powerful, it would be a problem even if it was to abstain from food for three or five years, right?

“Go! Let’s go out!”

Jiang Yi waved his hand, and the token in his hand lit up. Two rays of white light enveloped the two of them. By the time they opened their eyes again, they realized they were at the edge of the cliff in the Netherworld Forest.

“We are out; we have finally walked out alive!”

Jiang Yi and He Lao exchanged looks while their eyes were filled with ecstasy. Jiang Yi took out the spirit beast talisman and summoned the Zouwu Beast before he rode on it with He Lao. The token lit up in his hand while the white fog automatically disappeared. He burst out with an excited yell, “Big Huang, go! Return to Summer Rain City!”
