Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1299: Contradiction

After searching in the Morson Ruins for two days, Feng Yuan and the others had essentially swept the ruins clean of any useful Spiritual Medicine. Gazing at the pile of herbs now stored in Kong Qing Villa, Feng Yuan spoke with a satisfied expression.

“We did a pretty good cleaning job this time~”

“You swept away all the Spiritual Medicine here—are you sure that’s fine?”

Qi Chen furrowed his brows and looked at Feng Yuan. On the first day, no one noticed anything unusual. By the second day, however, people were starting to look at their group with suspicion. Coupled with the situation in the Divine Land Region, Qi Chen suspected that if Feng Yuan’s pass hadn’t been officially issued by Drochkar, the locals would have likely driven them out by now.

Gathering Spiritual Medicine wasn’t forbidden, but this scorched-earth approach seemed a bit too…

“It’s fine, it’s fine. This place still contains traces of Nainefar’s power. Under its influence, these herbs grow exceptionally fast. Besides, I didn’t take every single rare herb—I left the roots intact. In at most two years, you’ll see tiny sprouts popping up again~”

Pleased with himself, Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas. Qi Chen, covering his face, decided he didn’t even want to comment anymore. Rare Spiritual Medicine takes far longer than two years to reach full maturity. With Feng Yuan’s sweeping harvest, the Morson Ruins would likely be devoid of particularly rare herbs for a substantial period.

That said, it didn’t seem like too big of an issue. Most treasure seekers here didn’t specifically target herbs. Knowing how to handle them was one thing; recognizing them was another. Common herbs were almost entirely gone because they were easy to identify, but oddly, the less common, rarer herbs were somewhat abundant, precisely because not everyone could recognize them.

Thinking of it that way, maybe it wasn’t such a big deal after all? Besides, since this was Drochkar’s territory, Qi Chen decided not to dwell on it. Either way, it didn’t have much to do with Great Xia.

“Let’s just hope the herbs in Delian won’t be too expensive. There are still a few things we’re short on.”
