257: No normal mind

Li Mu returned to the Cave Heaven Small World and began to write his diary.

“February 15th, Sunny.”

“The third spiritual energy tide has finally passed…”

“I remember that after the third spiritual energy tide, when the Earth's area expanded, the Lingzhi Forbidden Area, this ownerless Forbidden Ground, also opened, right?”

“This Lingzhi Forbidden Area is full of Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, and there are also many Yao Beasts lurking around.”

“It's just that this Forbidden Ground has a Restriction, and only those at the Refining Qi Realm can enter. It was precisely because of the things inside this Forbidden Ground that our strength was able to rapidly improve back then.”

“It's just that many arrangements weren't in place back then. If we had found Yang Zheng, the Alchemist, and refined the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines into Medicinal Pills, our improvement would have been even faster, right?”

“Speaking of Yang Zheng, I wonder where this Alchemist is now?”

“Also, Jin Meiting and Qin Zhe, their strength seems to have also Broken Through to the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage, even stronger than in their previous lives!”

“My former friends' strengths are also slowly starting to improve. I'm truly happy for them…”

“What's interesting is the zombie Feng He; he seems to be close to a Breakthrough too, right?”

“Haha, I got sidetracked without realizing it…”

“Alright, alright, no more rambling. I should go take care of my own business. That's all for today.”

After Li Mu finished writing his diary, he took out a Spirit Stone and continued to close his eyes and Cultivate his sword.

…………

At the same time, on the other side.

Yang Zheng was currently on the Mythical Continent. It was understood that there were many Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines here, so whenever he had time, Yang Zheng would bring people to this Mythical Continent.

However, he only dared to search for Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines in the outer areas. After all, he was just an Alchemist, and his combat ability was quite ordinary.

To deal with ordinary people or commoners, he could just use potions or poisons.

But the Yao Beasts on this Mythical Continent were mostly at the Mid Stage or early stages, and his current cultivation was also precisely at this position, Mid Stage.

It's just that as an Alchemist, his offensive methods were a bit lacking compared to other Cultivators at the same Realm.

He wanted to quickly Break Through his cultivation to the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage, and among the Pill Formulas he had obtained, there was one specifically for breaking through minor Realms.

It was a pity, though; he had searched many places and found enough auxiliary medicines, but he just couldn't find the main medicine!

Ever since Yang Zheng obtained the Alchemy Legacy, he had been constantly engaged in Alchemy and searching for Spirit Medicines, but the Spirit Medicines he found were not many.

This was why Yang Zheng could only come to this Mythical Continent to search for Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't found the Spiritual Plant he was looking for on this Mythical Continent.

He didn't know if he hadn't found the right location, or if the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines in this vicinity had already been picked.

At this moment, Yang Zheng stopped searching and sat on a clean stone, planning to rest for a while.

However, just then, the copy of the diary on his person suddenly prompted that it had been updated. Yang Zheng quickly took out the diary to check.

When Yang Zheng saw the updated content of Li Mu's diary, he was overjoyed.

“What? The Lingzhi Forbidden Area actually has large areas of Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, haha~”

“This is great, this is great…”

“No time to lose, let's set off for Lingzhi Forbidden Area Island immediately.”

Yang Zheng thought to himself, it's like someone brought a pillow when he was sleepy.

Without hesitation, Yang Zheng prepared to head to Lingzhi Forbidden Area Island.

…………

Ji Jiangxue of Mount Tai saw the updated content of the diary: a Small World entrance appearing on an island in the sea.

She really wanted to go see it too, but unfortunately, she couldn't leave.

No, wait!

Even if she could go, she wouldn't be able to enter. She was already at the Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit Realm.

Forget it, then when Jin Meiting comes out of it, she can tell me what it's like inside.

…………

On the other side, in the Special Affairs Handling Bureau conference room.

The Grand Elder had already notified the Special Affairs Handling Bureau's team members about a meeting, and unexpectedly, it coincided with Li Mu updating his diary content.

Thus, the scene in the conference room became exceptionally strange.

Jin Meiting, Hu Bingbing, Wan Musi, Zhu Ping, Ke Ming, Mao Shiyu, Xin Mulan, and others who had diaries or copies of the diary were all looking down at Li Mu's updated content.

Xu Zheng, Feng He, Zhao He, Lan Kun, and others who did not have copies of the diary looked at each other in silence.

Xu Zheng and Zhao He looked enviously at those who possessed the diary.

Feng He looked playfully at Zhao He across from him. This young man's blood vessels were so clear; if he bit him, he would surely scream very loudly…

The Grand Elder knew that everyone was curious and concerned about Li Mu's updated diary content, as Li Mu's updated diary content was very important to everyone.

However, the current scene made the Grand Elder feel as if he was teaching a class from above, and those below were students listening to the lecture, with the obedient ones reading books, and the mischievous ones daydreaming or causing trouble…

The Grand Elder looked at everyone sternly: “Ahem, alright, everyone quiet down.”

Seeing everyone change their previous behavior, the Grand Elder thought that it was indeed an illusion just now.

Then, he continued: “Everyone has seen the diary content that Li Mu just updated. A Small World entrance has appeared on an island in the sea.”

“This Lingzhi Forbidden Area should be the newly appeared Small World that was reported earlier.”

“From Li Mu's diary, we know that this Lingzhi Small World is like the places you cultivated in before; it's full of Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, and also many Yao Beasts.”

“Special Affairs Handling Bureau team members, as long as your bodies have recovered, you can depart for the Lingzhi Small World.”

The Special Affairs Handling Bureau team members: “Yes!”

The Grand Elder: “Does anyone else have anything to say?”

Jin Meiting: “Grand Elder, wasn't there also an Alchemist named Yang Zheng?”

The Grand Elder: “Yes, we contacted him before, and he agreed to become an external staff member of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau. The Medicinal Pills in your department were all provided by him.”

Then he looked at Lan Kun and said: “Lan Kun, contact Yang Zheng. He is an Alchemist and recognizes all the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines inside. Bringing him to this Lingzhi Forbidden Area might have a good effect.”

Lan Kun nodded: “Alright, I'll go after the meeting.”

The reactions of the others upon learning about the newly appeared Small World varied.

Hu Bingbing's eyes lit up, wondering if there were rivers inside, and if there were fish in the rivers. If she cast a line there, would she get a huge catch?

Jin Meiting: This is great. When I go to the Lingzhi Small World this time, I must properly consolidate my Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage cultivation.

Lan Kun: Jin Meiting has already Broken Through to the Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage. I can't fall behind either.

Feng He: Everyone's blood vessels are so clear, and their Bloodline pulses so strongly. I really want to drink blood…

Xin Mulan: New Yao Beast meat?

Zhu Ping: I felt a chill!!!!
