Chapter 845: White Jade Dragon Mushroom

This strange flower stood a foot tall, its entire body wrapped in divine radiance, dazzling and brilliant. Jade-like leaves flowed with patterns, extraordinary in every way.

The creature that spoke was a strange flower. Yang Tian was greatly astonished—he did not recognize this flower, yet it could speak, and he had no idea how long it had cultivated.

"Hmph, a skulking thing!" This was a middle-aged human transformed by an extraterrestrial being. Enraged, he reached out with a large hand, and the heavens and earth trembled instantly.

The strange flower floated in the mist, its whole body resplendent, shrouded in fog that obscured its true form.

Suddenly, a crystalline branch emerged from the mist. As it swayed, those nearby staggered and nearly fell.

"This is one of the guardian spirits of the Medicine God Valley. I've seen him act before—with a single flick of his branch, a Cave Heaven realm expert was frightened away."

"Indeed, who knows what kind of creature this is? Its cultivation is fierce, and it has lived in this world for ages."

The murmurs around him made Yang Tian somewhat surprised. This creature had a significant background and had lived long without perishing.

The comments infuriated the middle-aged expert. His cold eyes fixed on the crystalline branch, and he spat out a ball of flame, scorching hot and exuding a terrifying aura.

He struck directly, intending to burn the branch, as fire was its bane.

"He's done for. The guardian spirit spared him earlier, and now he dares to attack!"

Sure enough, the strange flower was enraged. Its branches and leaves danced, shaking heaven and earth with terrifying force. Those around hastily retreated to avoid disgrace.

The branch appeared soft but was as if forged from divine metal. With a clang, it scattered the flames and then struck toward the middle-aged man's brow with terrifying speed.

"Not good!" The man shouted, spitting out a jade plate wreathed in precious light, radiant and shimmering, to block the branch.

But the branch was terrifying, its attack power astonishing. It shattered the jade plate with a single strike and pierced through the expert's brow, killing him instantly.

"Hiss..." Those around gasped in shock. The expert died too unjustly, without even the ability to resist.

"Serves him right. These outsiders are getting too arrogant. The Medicine God Valley is no place to bully. Let them cause a ruckus inside."

Yang Tian clicked his tongue. This strange flower was incredibly formidable, no ordinary thing.

His eyes opened and closed, shimmering with spiritual light, scanning the surroundings. After a moment, he caught traces of some array patterns.

The aura was terrifying, oppressive enough to make one tremble. Yang Tian merely glanced and immediately restrained his mind, inwardly shocked—this great formation was extremely fearsome, and what he had sensed was just a fraction of its power.

After the recent incident, many of the extraterrestrial experts set aside their arrogance and began to enter on foot.

"Eh, the aura on him." The strange flower floating in the mist noticed Yang Tian and murmured to itself, "Why does it feel so familiar?"

Its whole body wreathed in divine radiance, dazzling and brilliant, it suddenly trembled as if recalling something, then vanished.

Inside the Medicine God Valley, ancient herbs were everywhere, their fragrance intoxicating. Those who entered felt refreshed, every pore exuding the medicinal power.

The valley was bustling with activity, crowds coming and going. Many powerful cultivators could be seen.

Yang Tian's eyes roamed around. The valley was filled with ancient herbs, each with a certain age. Ten-thousand-year-old precious medicines were not uncommon.

At that moment, voices of discussion came from a distance. A group of people were pointing and discussing a strange medicinal herb.

This herb stood ten feet tall, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. It had long developed intelligence, taking on a humanoid form. Its body was pure white, like beautiful jade, radiating brilliant light.

What drew their attention was that the herb's body had split open, as if it were about to die of old age—a very striking sight.

When Yang Tian saw this medicinal plant, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Although the plant's body had split open, it had actually sprouted tender shoots.

Three small tender shoots, flowing with life essence, were extremely vigorous, blood-red in color, entwined with crimson mist, faintly emitting a blazing fluctuation.

"Alas, I've heard the elders in our clan mention this ancient herb. It was an ordinary spiritual herb, but it never withered. It used to be only a tiny bit big, but now it has grown this tall and has become sentient."

"I've heard of it too. Look at this crack; it's growing new precious herbs, and the vitality is extremely strong. If it grows out, it will be very formidable."

They all discussed it. Yang Tian was also astonished. The three crimson tender shoots that had grown were clearly not ordinary things; in the future, they might cultivate into human form.

Yang Tian saw many mysterious ancient herbs. At this moment, his eyes fell on a high platform, and he murmured to himself, "This is just the periphery; inside there should be true medicine kings!"

"I wonder if there are divine medicines?" Yang Tian muttered. At this time, he did not enter but walked toward the trading area.

This trading area was for some beings of the Divine Medicine Valley to exchange things. Although there were many ancient herbs here, they lacked elixirs, and few of these beings knew how to refine spiritual pills.

The trading area had the most people. Many great clans had brought numerous precious pills, all for the rare medicinal herbs within the Medicine God Valley.

Most of these ancient herbs were extinct and difficult to cultivate. The Medicine God Valley had spiritual soil, where many miraculous herbs grew.

Yang Tian also began to make his moves. He had many elixirs on him; the treasuries of the Female Demon Head and Yao Xuan contained many high-grade elixirs. Although he had spent a lot, he still had many elixirs left.

"Sister Yuan, there are so many ancient herbs here." Jiu Bingyan's eyes never blinked; when had she ever seen such a grand spectacle?

Hearing this, Yuan Xia also nodded. These ancient herbs were truly numerous, most of them extinct elsewhere, but here there were quite a few.

Yang Tian wanted to select some extinct ancient herbs. These ancient herbs required precious elixirs, so he naturally had to use them sparingly.

The medicine garden in the Ancestral Dragon Ring quickly became abundant. Xiao Bai woke up groggily, rubbed his nose, and his body appeared outside.

"Ah..." As soon as he came out, he saw a large pile of treasures. Xiao Bai squinted his big eyes, grinding his small teeth, almost unable to resist biting them.

Xiao Bai wiped his saliva, then stared at an old man, his mouth full of drool, going "hmm hah hmm hah."

"Go, go..." The old man saw a child drooling at him, his face immediately stiffened, and he said with a dark expression.

Xiao Bai chuckled. This old man was a strange grass, a being of the Spirit Clan, containing immense vitality.

"What a pity, this herb is about to die. Truly a pity, alas."

"Yes, the age of this ancient herb is very impressive, but unfortunately its foundation was damaged, causing excessive loss of medicinal power, and it is about to die of old age."

"Alas, this White Jade Dragon Mushroom has an age of about fifty to sixty thousand years. It's such a pity that it's dying."

This was an ancient herb with a body pure white and shaped like a dragon. This White Jade Dragon Mushroom looked very weak, with a crack on its body as if it had split open.

The discussions around drew Yang Tian's attention. He looked at it a few times and was startled inwardly. This was a rare treasure not much inferior to the Five-Color Divine Lotus.

This White Jade Dragon Mushroom, according to legend, was a miraculous herb born in the land of true dragons, containing a trace of dragon bloodline, and could be used to refine divine pills to strengthen oneself.

"It's split open. I wonder if Xirang can restore it." Yang Tian's eyes grew eager; this thing was very rare.

"It should be about right. Xirang is a supreme earth attribute treasure that can cultivate miraculous herbs. This earth energy will be of great benefit to it." Yang Xiao said directly.

The Little Divine Herb had recovered remarkably during this period, drawing earth energy every day. It was about to awaken. Even a divine herb could be affected, let alone this White Jade Dragon Mushroom.

Yang Tian rubbed his chin, his gaze falling on the stall owner. It was an old man with an unpleasant expression. He had been carefully tending this White Jade Dragon Mushroom, hoping to use it to extend his life in the future. He never expected it to die of old age, and he couldn't help but feel pained.

The White Jade Dragon Mushroom had failed its tribulation when it was about to become a medicine king, damaging its Dao root, leaving the old man unable to prolong its life.
