Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts-Chapter 660 - 44 Weeding_1

Seeing the purple light at the top of the Almighty Demon Vine begin to flicker and then draw circles on the pitch-black gate, Wen Yu decisively turned around. He summoned Victor and headed for the S-class and below medicinal herbs garden they had recently passed.

Start from the lowest level and sweep every area. Leave no stone unturned!

This was Wen Yu's only thought right now!

Harvesting from the medicinal herbs garden was far more fruitful than from the blacksmith's forge. In this situation, Wen Yu's greed was overflowing.

The entire medicinal herbs garden was now effectively his. If anyone dared to challenge this—to pluck the tiger's whiskers, so to speak—the Wen Yu of this moment would, without the slightest hesitation, violently eliminate them on the spot. No apologies would be offered.

In the face of benefits, Wen Yu was completely unreasonable!

...

The Almighty Demon Vine was connected to Wen Yu's hand but didn't restrict his movement—it was like an infinitely stretchable elastic band. Wen Yu wasn't clear how far it could stretch or what its limit was.

But at least the Almighty Demon Vine, while connected to the storage location of the Esoteric Level spirit herbs and elixir pills, didn't affect Wen Yu's actions even when he was far away. There was also no discomfort at the connection point on his arm.

Strolling leisurely through the spacious medicinal herbs garden, Wen Yu inhaled the faint aroma in the air. The scent of herbs was intoxicating, making him feel almost euphoric. Even without the Esoteric Level elixir pills and spirit herbs, this haul is already enormous!

The journey back was rapid, as Wen Yu deliberately quickened his pace. In less than 20 minutes, the entrance to the medicinal herbs garden was already in sight.

...

The total area of the Fourth Level of Heavenly Palace was not small—at least, not much smaller than the Second Level of Heavenly Palace.

Few professionists could even enter the Fourth Level of Heavenly Palace at this point. Combined with the massive total area, a structure covering several hundred thousand square meters seemed all the more inconspicuous.

When Wen Yu arrived at the entrance of the medicinal herbs garden, he saw Cyclops and Star lying lazily on the ground. Cyclops was once again unilaterally lecturing Star.

"AHEM."

He coughed lightly, announcing his arrival. Seeing Cyclops and Star snap to attention at the entrance of the medicinal herbs garden as if on parade, Wen Yu chuckled. He patted Cyclops's head and once again rearranged the duties of his soul pets.

"Cyclops, you come with me. Star, you stay and guard the entrance."

Faced with the vast medicinal herbs garden and aiming for a thorough sweep, Wen Yu decided it was most efficient to take one of the two soul pets guarding the entrance with him. Considering Cyclops and Star's strength, there seemed to be little practical difference whether one or both of them stood guard.

Once Cyclops trotted to his side, tongue lolling, Wen Yu climbed onto the now-enlarged Cyclops. Holding Victor in his arms, he headed back into the garden.

...

"Stop! Right here!"

Looking ahead at the S-class and below medicinal herb cultivation area, which stretched out like a seemingly endless rice paddy, Wen Yu decisively halted Cyclops. He then sent orders to his two soul pets via Spiritual Fluctuation.

"Pull them out, preferably one by one. Eat the ones you can, and pile up the ones you can't. We'll send them back later."

"Alright!"

Like master, like servant. Under Wen Yu's long-term influence, Victor could still maintain a somewhat haughty demeanor in the face of such good things, but Cyclops was different.

That fellow wanted nothing more than to claim all the good things in the world for himself.

Seeing Cyclops dive headfirst into the flowers and grasses without a second thought, Wen Yu put Victor down. He paid no mind as Victor, tail perked up, struck a pose for an unseen audience, and instead dashed deeper into the medicinal herbs garden himself.

...

Water Spirit Herb (B-Class item): Contains water-attribute spiritual energy. Can be used as a primary ingredient for most injury-healing medicinal potions or elixir pills.

Water-attribute spiritual energy? What's that?

Useless! Something to sell for money! Probably won't even fetch a good price!

Radix Rehmanniae (A-Class item): A special spirit herb from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes. Direct consumption can heal latent internal injuries. It can also be combined with other medicinal ingredients to refine medicines.

This one might be useful. But what exactly is a 'latent internal injury'?

After pondering for a while, Wen Yu still couldn't figure out what a 'latent internal injury' was. Deciding not to dwell on it, he popped the potato-like Radix Rehmanniae into his mouth.

As for refining elixir pills?

I can't be bothered to learn another craft!

...

A bitter and slightly fishy taste exploded on his taste buds. Wen Yu felt as if he had eaten coptis.

Fortunately, the sensation came and went quickly. Once the Radix Rehmanniae seemed to melt into liquid and flow into his body, Wen Yu felt a warm current spread from his stomach throughout his entire system.

A gentle power coursed between Wen Yu's bones and muscle tissues, but it vanished in less than a second.

Sensing the changes within his body, Wen Yu had a flash of understanding.

So-called 'latent internal injuries' must be tiny, imperceptible wounds lurking within my body.

These tiny wounds might seem harmless and wouldn't reduce my combat effectiveness, but they are injuries nonetheless—like a ruptured capillary in a normal human body. It might not even bleed or cause Pain Perception, but it's still fundamentally a wound.

This Radix Rehmanniae is for repairing these kinds of wounds.

He picked up another Radix Rehmanniae from the ground. Looking at the thumb-sized, potato-like herb in his hand, Wen Yu decisively popped it into his mouth.

Although he didn't know if its effects would overlap with healing potions, the benefits were undeniable.

Since it's beneficial, why not eat it? What's the point in waiting?

Although the taste... was truly something he couldn't compliment.

...

Like a gopher, Wen Yu scurried throughout the S-class medicinal herbs cultivation area, snatching up everything in sight. He didn't miss a single item, leaving a trail of plunder in his wake.

Along the way, Wen Yu encountered Cyclops five times and Victor twice. Both soul pets presented a similar, rather amusing spectacle: even the usually proud Victor had transformed into its giant combat form, solely to increase its stomach capacity. The sight of both of them with mouths stuffed full of flowers and grasses truly tickled Wen Yu.

He checked the herbs in Cyclops's mouth. Most were healing-type herbs, along with some strange but harmless plant-based items.

Cyclops certainly had a voracious appetite, and it truly had the audacity to eat anything!

Still, with the 'User Manual' available, Wen Yu felt slightly more at ease about the naturally boisterous Cyclops.

...

After looting most of the cultivation area and leaving it in utter disarray, Wen Yu finally found the best treasure in this zone!

Flame Light Grass (S-Class item)...
