133: Chapter 133 Herb Field
Leaving Xiao Xing to continue holding the world core, Chi Anlin headed to the next palace.
Upon entering the palace, Chi Anlin smelled a rich medicinal scent. Looking around, the ground was filled with spiritual herbs.
The palace floor was covered in a layer of scarlet blood mud, and it was precisely because of this blood mud that these spiritual herbs could maintain their spiritual energy without dissipating.
Each spiritual herb emitted a faint halo. Chi Anlin walked towards an ice-blue mushroom and used Appraisal on it.
【Name】: Frost Flower Mushroom
【Attribute】: Ice
【Quality】: Profound Grade Mid-tier
【Introduction】: A spiritual herb that has absorbed the blood of an ancient emperor; it possesses certain body-refining capabilities.
This was just the outermost layer of spiritual herbs. Chi Anlin looked towards the deepest part at a spiritual herb that looked like a tiny Qilin, planted on a large piece of spirit stone.
【Name】: Nine-Turn Qilin Grass
【Attribute】: Five Elements
【Quality】: Monarch Rank Mid-tier
【Introduction】: A spiritual herb containing a large amount of ancient emperor blood; consuming it will grant Five Elements attributes.
Chi Anlin touched his glabella. "When it comes to luck, whoever uses it up first is the first to go!"
With so many spiritual herbs, did he just raid the home of an ancient emperor?
Originally, these things would have had great restrictions. For example, the world core—if moved, the life-and-death annihilation array in the palace would have directly obliterated the person.
But because the Prison Emperor's consciousness was dormant, these arrays could not be activated and were in standby mode.
"Xiao Yue, let's hurry and take these things away!" Chi Anlin became a bit anxious. The things in this palace were all treasures! There hadn't been any incidents yet, but if other Blood Spirits or wraiths from other areas came over, he would probably have to retreat.
After all, he didn't have a second great dao crystal of Phoenix Fire Lord.
If the New Queen were here, it would be great. With the help of so many Ant Soldiers, collecting these spiritual herbs would only take a few minutes.
"Ding?" Tian Yin tilted her head, suddenly waving her little hands and starting to sing.
The Elf Sound echoed in the palace. Just as Chi Anlin was wondering why Tian Yin suddenly started singing, in the next second, he discovered that the spiritual herbs in the palace seemed to have gained life; they struggled and crawled out from the ground, running towards Chi Anlin.
The scene was spectacular—treasures shone to the sky, and the medicinal herbs gathered together like a small hill.
Generally, spiritual herbs of a certain quality possess their own consciousness. To prevent these spiritual herbs from escaping or self-destructing, the Prison Emperor had erased all their intelligence, causing these spiritual herbs to act like weeds, only mechanically absorbing nutrients.
And Tian Yin's Elf Sound could not only eliminate inner demons but also communicate with plants, causing them to develop intelligence.
Like picking up Chinese cabbage, Chi Anlin packed the various incomparably rare spiritual herbs into his space ring. Chi Anlin observed them carefully; even the lowest-grade spiritual herbs here were Profound Grade.
While Chi Anlin was continuously collecting spiritual herbs, Xiao Xing hopped to the core area, tilted its head, and with some effort, pulled out a green crystal.
In the next second, a surge of rich life force emerged. Chi Anlin's head turned instantly, his pupils shrinking involuntarily.
The spot where the green crystal was pulled out left a large pit, like a blackhead just squeezed out.
A pool of spiritual liquid emitting green light flowed out, containing life force far exceeding the source of life the school had given Chi Anlin before.
【Name】: source of life
【Attribute】: Wood, Life
【Quality】: King Realm Mid-tier
【Introduction】: A source of life condensed by a King Realm demon plant, containing a large amount of life force.
"Ding ding!" Tian Yin's eyes lit up. Before Chi Anlin could stop her, the little thing flew up directly towards the spiritual liquid.
Seeing Tian Yin open her little mouth, the green spiritual liquid flew up and was sucked into her mouth like a drink.
The process lasted about a minute, which surprised Chi Anlin. He calculated that the source of life Tian Yin just swallowed already weighed over a hundred jin; he didn't know how the little thing managed to fit so much source of life inside.
Patting her round belly, Tian Yin flew back, rubbed against Chi Anlin's hand affectionately, flew to Chi Anlin's hair, and after finding a comfortable position, she stretched and closed her eyes.
Soon, Chi Anlin felt that the little thing on his head had turned into a cocoon; Tian Yin was sleeping quietly inside.
"Going to evolve?" Chi Anlin was a bit confused, then felt a toothache.
That was a King Realm source of life, and it was drunk up by Tian Yin in one breath!
This thing was a divine object that could bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones!
In the Lesser Beast Realm, the Blood Devouring King was wandering around with his child.
At first, the Blood Devouring King was unwilling to face this child, but after all, he was still an Ant Soldier and could not resist the New Queen's orders.
The Blood Devouring King felt that having an offspring was not a bad thing, but the problem was...
He was the one who was on the receiving end!
Thinking of the male ant he had already killed, the Blood Devouring King sighed, no longer dwelling on that somewhat painful memory.
Turning to look at his child, the Blood Devouring King gave it a name: Blood Anomaly.
Blood Anomaly had currently split into eight blood-colored ants, and these eight ants shared the same consciousness.
What a strange creature. The Blood Devouring King's antennae gently tapped Blood Anomaly's head; if this thing was cultivated well, it would be another great general in the future.
Sharing fresh blood with Blood Anomaly, the Blood Devouring King began to continue searching for demon beasts containing nutrients for the New Queen. Recently, the New Queen was preparing to give birth to a New Queen, so she needed a lot of nutrients and energy, otherwise, it would be easy for the gestation to fail.
The ant colony was becoming increasingly huge. Currently, there were over five thousand First Realm Fifth Stage Ant Soldiers. They were of various breeds, with the most numerous being Tiger Armor Ant Soldiers, followed by Datura Ant Soldiers and Sky Net Ant Soldiers.
The number of Blood Fiend Ant Soldiers was tightly around one hundred; these were all born killing machines. With the help of so many Ant Soldiers, the Blood Devouring King finally discovered a ruin.
It was a ruin related to the former master of the Lesser Beast Realm.
The Lesser Beast Realm had almost become like a human territory, so the things inside had actually been explored clean.
Plus, the master of this world was dead, so even King Realm cultivators could enter and exit freely.
Otherwise, even if a King entered this world, they would be subject to great restrictions.
To prevent the New Queen from being threatened while exploring the ruins, the Blood Devouring King used a pile of precious materials and began to carve a large array for the New Queen.
Strange patterns appeared on the bodies of the Ant Soldiers. Finally, the Blood Devouring King's body trembled slightly, and a jade-green drop of blood condensed out—this was his essence blood.
A beam of blood light shot into the sky. In the void, a hideous blood demon appeared faintly.
