Chapter 280: Mysterious Fragmentary Map

Within the Ancestral Dragon Ring, the void stretched for ten thousand zhang, misty and hazy, with colorful clouds scattering like a rain of radiance, dazzling and magnificent. High above, purple qi shimmered, exquisitely beautiful.

In the medicinal garden several thousand zhang ahead, light flowed and colors danced. The flowers and leaves were crystalline, sparkling with treasure light, and the fragrance of herbs was extremely rich.

Especially the five-colored medicinal field, whose internal essence of medicinal power was even more vast. The two Dragon Beard Grasses had already reached a thousand years' maturity, yet only a few months had passed—truly astonishing.

At this moment, Yang Xiao was petrified. His incredulous gaze swept over the surrounding medicinal power. Such an extreme concentration of medicinal power was something he had rarely seen in his lifetime.

Yang Tian's figure appeared in the Ancestral Dragon Ring. When he noticed Yang Xiao's expression, he grinned. Such potent medicinal power was indeed extremely hard to find in the outside world.

But this joy was fleeting. All of this was a sign that the Little Divine Herb was about to fall. The terrifying source energy within her was leaking out, creating this temporary treasure ground.

"This is a divine herb!" At this moment, Yang Xiao's gaze fell upon a small child ahead. He exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief, stunned into silence.

The Little Divine Herb was covered in wrinkles, its eyes devoid of light. The terrifying medicinal power leaked out, continuously spilling into the five-colored medicinal field. At this moment, it appeared so desolate and helpless.

A divine herb—such a heavenly treasure, having grown for over a hundred thousand years, seizing the creation of heaven and earth, following the changes of time, finally able to cultivate a human form. This was an extremely difficult path, unimaginably arduous.

"The divine herb is old, about to dissipate between heaven and earth... old." Yang Xiao sensed the divine herb leaking its essence, and his voice trembled slightly. This divine herb, which had lived for over a hundred thousand years, had fallen to such a state, on the verge of dying of old age, evoking pity.

The Little Divine Herb could no longer make a sound. Its large eyes had no sparkle; it was in its death throes.

"Ao wu..." Xiao Bai leaped onto Yang Xiao's shoulder, whimpering softly, wanting Yang Xiao to help prolong the Little Divine Herb's life. Its pitch-black large eyes were almost glistening with tears.

Yang Xiao patted Xiao Bai's head. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed the golden fur on Xiao Bai's crown shimmering with a golden afterglow, like patterns, flowing with mysterious energy. Though small, it gave a feeling of palpitation.

"Little one is about to awaken. Looks like we'll be busy for a while." Sensing the mysterious energy within, Yang Xiao smiled slightly.

"Uncle Xiao, is there any way to save it?" Yang Tian walked over, unwilling to let the Little Divine Herb die like this. It had cultivated with difficulty, just awakened its intelligence, and was about to die of old age—heaven and earth were unjust.

"Let me think, let me think..." Yang Xiao waved his hand, his mind sinking into contemplation. The medicinal power of a divine herb was astonishingly potent; ordinary things would naturally be useless. Only a heavenly treasure could save its life.

Yang Tian ransacked his belongings, taking out all his treasures. Compared to the divine herb, the Spring of Life could not be mentioned in the same breath. The essence contained within the divine herb could save lives; as long as it was not excessively drained, it would not die.

If this divine herb could be saved, it would surely stay by Yang Tian's side in the future. Such a divine herb, having grown for countless years, could not only prolong life but also understand the mysteries of heaven and earth. Therefore, Yang Tian did not want the divine herb to die, and he also harbored kind intentions.

"This is the Dragon-Elephant Divine Pill. I didn't expect you to have such a good thing." Yang Xiao's gaze swept over the pill in Yang Tian's hand, clicking his tongue in wonder, somewhat puzzled where Yang Tian had obtained it.

Then, Yang Tian recounted the matter of Elder Gu and took out the prescription. He felt the prescription was extremely extraordinary; even the method of tempering the body through refining on it was already a treasure!

"This is the aura of the Wilderness. It seems it came from the Sacred Clan of the Great Wilderness. I didn't expect these people still survived, and the ancestral treasures haven't been lost." Yang Xiao's expression turned serious, and he couldn't help speaking.

"Truly remarkable, using the blood of divine beasts as a medicinal primer to concoct a medicinal bath." After reading the formula above, Yang Xiao couldn't help but be astonished. He knew the formulas for some lower-level medicinal baths, but such high-level treasures were unknown to him.

Although the ancient Yang Clan was immensely powerful, most of the things from the Primordial Era had been lost. This prescription was indeed a rare item that could incite a scramble.

If the prescription leaked out, it could even trigger unrest among the demon race. Using the essence blood of exotic beasts as the main ingredient was indeed a bold move.

"I wonder if the Yang Clan's War Tribe is still there..." At this moment, Yang Xiao sighed and murmured in his heart.

"Uncle Xiao, I also have two maps with this kind of aura." At this time, Yang Tian took out two fragmentary maps from his Void Ring. One was obtained from the Beast Mountain Forest, and the other from the Dan Xuan Sect.

The two palm-sized fragmentary maps bore the characters 'Tong' and 'Gu' respectively. It was hard to see any connection between them, but from the mountain terrain depicted on them, they shared a similar ingenuity.

"This is...?" At this moment, Yang Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted. A look of extreme shock appeared in his eyes. His hand trembled slightly as he took the two fragmentary maps.

"Uncle Xiao, what treasure is this?" Sensing Yang Xiao's change, Yang Tian's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he quickly asked.

Hearing this, Yang Xiao remained silent. The shock in his eyes grew more intense. He examined the fragmentary maps for a long time, then finally let out a deep breath.

"Where did you get these two fragmentary maps?" After a moment of silence, Yang Xiao's emotions gradually calmed, and he asked.

Scratching his head, Yang Tian saw Yang Xiao's grave expression and recounted the matter of the fragmentary maps. From Yang Xiao's demeanor, this thing was not simple; it likely hid a great secret!

"What does this portend? Is the demon about to emerge at this time?!" Yang Xiao exclaimed inwardly, his eyes showing complex emotions of nostalgia, hatred, and more.

"Uncle Xiao, what is the origin of this thing?" Yang Tian couldn't hold back and asked.

"This fragmentary map is related to the clan's ultimate treasure. Never tell anyone. If you encounter such fragmentary maps in the future, obtain them at all costs!" Clenching his fist, Yang Xiao stared at Yang Tian with a grave gaze and said slowly.

"Uh... oh..." Nodding, Yang Tian said somewhat helplessly. The entire continent was vast and boundless; finding the fragmentary maps was no simple task.

After speaking, Yang Xiao looked around, clearly looking for a place to hide it. His cautious and somewhat comical manner left Yang Tian dumbfounded, but he began to take it seriously. For Yang Xiao to be so careful, even the divine object within Yang Tian had not elicited such an expression.

After a while, Yang Xiao held the Fuluo Pill in his hand, his gaze fixed on the Little Divine Herb's body. He pondered for a moment, then pursed his lips.

"Only to try a desperate remedy. I hope the Rising Spring Water can keep it alive." Sighing, Yang Xiao's hand shook slightly, and a head-sized piece of top-grade Blood Stone appeared in his hand.

Yang Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground. He was still for a moment, then a brilliant divine light shot from his eyes, striking the Blood Stone.

Chi! The head-sized top-grade Blood Stone trembled violently. A pit appeared at its top, and stone chips flew off, creating a fist-sized gap.

The head-sized top-grade Blood Stone emitted terrifying blood energy, sweeping into the sky like a rainbow, seemingly trying to break free from Yang Xiao's palm.

"Heh, it has even developed divinity." Seeing this, Yang Xiao smiled slightly. This rare Blood Stone was on the verge of giving birth to divinity, extremely frightening, and its hardness was extremely high.

"Uncle Xiao, try this." At this moment, Yang Tian took out the Black Demon and grinned.

"Eh? The missing part has been completed!" Seeing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Yang Xiao's eyes, and he couldn't help exclaiming. At the same time, he marveled inwardly at Yang Tian's astonishing luck—to find the missing part in the vast continent.

"Not bad, I bought it at an auction a few days ago." Scratching his head, Yang Tian grinned. This was a high-quality Heavenly Artifact that had already given birth to intelligence.

Taking the Black Demon, Yang Xiao examined it for a while and couldn't help nodding. The quality of this sword was extremely high; it was a Heavenly Artifact passed down from ancient times, not a simple item.
