Chapter 186: White Moon Xuanjin
“Excuse me!”
Elder Yan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, then he led Ji Yang inside.
The Elder of Shengquan Peak did not stop them; instead, he stepped aside, looking surprised.
After all, Elder Yan had left with a worried expression not long ago, and now he returned smiling.
Could it be that he found a way to save the ‘White Moon Xuanjin’?
The Elder of Shengquan Peak said nothing more and followed closely behind, ready to observe.
Upon stepping inside, Ji Yang felt a rich spiritual energy enveloping him, providing a sense of comfort. In terms of spiritual energy concentration, it surpassed even the spiritual herb garden.
He could tell that there was a large spirit gathering formation in this place.
A few steps forward, he saw a small stone platform.
The platform was surrounded by bright, glowing stones, clearly possessing special properties.
In the center of the stone platform, a pool of light green Shengquan caught his eye.
The spirit spring was clear, with faint ripples flowing across its surface, and special stones bordered three sides of it, while only one side connected to the interior of Shengquan Peak, where it seemed the spirit spring was seeping out.
It appeared that this was the famous spirit spring of Shengquan Peak.
Though it looked unremarkable, the spiritual energy contained in the water was extremely high.
Ji Yang was quite amazed; this truly was a marvelous object.
In the center of the spirit spring, a spiritual plant stood proudly above the water, its roots submerged.
The plant’s leaves resembled a half crescent moon, occasionally shimmering with a golden light, making it look extraordinary.
This must be the ‘White Moon Xuanjin’ that Elder Yan mentioned.
It truly was a top-tier spiritual plant, older and more effective than the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower he had grown.
However, it seemed that the ‘White Moon Xuanjin’ showed signs of being cut. It appeared that some elder had previously harvested part of it to make pills, but had only taken a portion, wanting to preserve its legacy.
Even without the Breathing Technique of All Things, Ji Yang could see that the current state of this spiritual plant was concerning. The half-moon-shaped leaves drooped, motionless, showing signs of withering and yellowing.
At that moment, Elder Yan spoke up:
“Ji Yang, do you think this can still be saved?”
Ji Yang did not answer; he merely moved to the other side of the stone platform to observe the plant closely.
When Elder Yan asked his question, the Elder of Shengquan Peak was taken aback.
If he heard correctly, Elder Yan was seeking advice from this inner disciple in the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment?
It seemed that this disciple was being rather indifferent.
Seeing Ji Yang’s serious expression, Elder Yan did not press further.
At this moment, Ji Yang had approached the ‘White Moon Xuanjin’ and began close observation, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head.
Of course, these gestures and expressions were for Elder Yan’s benefit.
He certainly couldn’t let Elder Yan see that he was completely clueless!
But secretly, Ji Yang had already activated the Breathing Technique of All Things, listening to the breath of the White Moon Xuanjin.
White Moon Xuanjin: Sigh, I’m old and can’t hold on any longer. My life is fading; it is fate.
Ji Yang frowned slightly. This top-tier spiritual plant was already old?
How long had it lived?
He recalled that spiritual plants had extremely long lifespans, and that after living for a long time, they would even develop spirit intelligence.
Ji Yang asked his doubts in his mind.
White Moon Xuanjin: After a year and a half, they draw some of my blood; after ten years or eight years, they cut some limbs. It’s already impressive that I’ve survived to this point.
Ji Yang was speechless. So that was the reason.
It seemed that because its life was short and its experience vast, the White Moon Xuanjin had no intention of speaking further.
At this moment, Ji Yang fell into deep thought.
To be honest, his token might still exist, and Elder Yan would probably feel embarrassed to take it back.
However, if that happened, his development in the spiritual herb garden would end there. From what he observed last night, there should be several top-tier spiritual plants in the garden, which made Ji Yang a bit envious.
After weighing the options, Ji Yang decided to give it a try.
If the Breathing Technique of All Things could revive it, he would gain the chance to cultivate a top-tier spiritual plant. If it couldn’t, then it wouldn’t matter.
The high-level spiritual plants in the herb garden could also provide him with cultivation points.
In the next moment, Ji Yang activated his powers again.
With the two elders nearby, Ji Yang dared not make large movements, lest he attract their attention.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy here was dense, so the slight fluctuations did not catch the elders’ notice!
On this side, Elder Yan frowned as he watched Ji Yang measure the plant up and down, deep in thought.
Unable to hold back, the Elder of Shengquan Peak transmitted his voice:
“Elder Yan, who is this?”
Hearing his friend’s question, Elder Yan did not hide anything and revealed Ji Yang’s identity.
The Elder of Shengquan Peak was amazed. Ye Wuchen’s disciple—he had certainly heard of him, but he never expected this young man would possess such strength.
However, Elder Yan did not elaborate on the matter of the spiritual plant, so he also did not pry further.
“There’s hope!”
Just as the two were chatting, Ji Yang’s voice came from the side.
This made Elder Yan’s face light up with joy.
He did not believe Ji Yang would deceive him.
If this White Moon Xuanjin could be saved, it would be a significant contribution to the sect.
After all, this herb was the main ingredient in many high-level pills.
The Elder of Shengquan Peak, however, wore a skeptical expression.
He had already told Elder Yan that this spirit medicine probably wouldn’t survive much longer. It would be better to use the remaining potency to refine it into pills. Although the effects would be weaker, at least it could recover some losses.
But Ji Yang told him there was hope.
While Elder Yan was present, the Elder of Shengquan Peak did not directly refute him.
Instead, he prepared to subtly remind Elder Yan not to trust Ji Yang just because he was Ye Wuchen’s disciple.
After all, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. At this age and with this level of strength, it was hard to convince others.
“Is that true?”
Elder Yan asked in response.
Ji Yang nodded:
“Of course it’s true, but this spiritual plant cannot remain in the spirit spring. It needs to be moved to the spiritual herb garden.”
“Alright, alright! I’ll move it right away.”
Elder Yan’s face showed excitement.
On the other side, the Elder of Shengquan Peak furrowed his brows tightly. He still felt that what Ji Yang said was not quite believable, while Elder Yan seemed enchanted as if under the He Huan Sect’s spell.
This prompted him to transmit a warning:
“Old Yan, it’s better to be cautious. Once it’s moved from the spirit spring, even if you put it back, it may never come back to life!”
Elder Yan’s expression paused momentarily, but the next moment he replied via Transmission:
“No worries; I trust Ji Yang.”
The Elder of Shengquan Peak sighed inwardly but did not say more.
Under Elder Yan’s careful actions, the White Moon Xuanjin was soon transferred into the container that Elder Yan carried with him.
“Let’s go! We need to leave now; I worry we won’t be able to save it if we delay.”
Ji Yang said earnestly, but in his heart, he was considering where would be the best place to plant this White Moon Xuanjin.
He had already experimented with it using his powers; it was effective.
Now, as long as he transplanted it back to the spiritual herb garden, he could secretly collect light points under the guise of taking care of it.
This time, he would definitely make a profit!
“Alright, let’s go now!”
Elder Yan said no more and left Shengquan Peak with Ji Yang.
