An urban metropolis carrying the traces of years gone by.


    Chu Yuan stepped out from the void, facing a bustling city teeming with people.


    Once inside the city, streets could be seen everywhere.


    The most abundant shops were those selling various medicinal herbs.


    Not only were there people from the Southern Mysterious Domain, but many from otherrge domains as well, rushing to purchase medicinal herbs from the hands of the locals.


    The Southern Mysterious Domain was famed for its abundance of medicinal herbs amongst the Five Mysterious Domains.


    Nearly half of the medicinal herbs from the Five Mysterious Domains were produced here.


    "Dear sir, this positioningpass only requires ten sovereign-grade Spirit Stones. If you manage to find a Five Spirits Fruit, the opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of you!"


    "Ha ha, the cost of your positioningpass is only one sovereign-grade Spirit Stone. Don''t let him deceive you, sir. Buy mine instead. It''s several times more effective and only requires five sovereign-grade Spirit Stones from you."


    "There is no such thing as business ethics with you."


    ...


    No sooner had Chu Yuan entered the city than he found many people selling goods on either side of the streets.


    The positioningpasses they mentioned were the same ones that the previous group of people had used. They were equipped with Void Crystal Stones which could sense fluctuations in the void.


    However, the small space has been destroyed by Chu Yuan, rendering thepasses useless here. No one else could possibly stumble upon it again.


    Chu Yuan was not interested.


    As one who held the title of Void Twister, his probing abilities surpassed that of a merepass, and he could easily make one himself if he wished to.


    He strolled through the city as if sightseeing, observing the people and culture of the Southern Mysterious Domain without purchasing any medicinal herbs for himself.


    After all, he had the Qiankun Trading Company tobor for him. Thepany''s numerous trade routes overshadowed his own and they had coborations with many medicine shops, much better than himboring to collect them himself.


    "As expected of the herb-producing Southern Mysterious Domain. I have seen many precious herbs here that are rarely seen in the Eastern Mysterious Domain. A lot of them are disyed casually like regr vegetables."


    Eximed Chu Yuan.


    At this time, Chu Yuan discovered a small stall that attracted his attention.


    The stall owner was just a teenager in his teens who was at the Divine Realm stage. Laid out next to him were more than a dozen herbs that could be used to refine Divine Elixirs.


    To Chu Yuan, these herbs seemed ordinary, but the abundant Spiritual Energy they contained made his eyes twinkle. They held several times more energy than simr herbs.


    "I want all these herbs of yours. Here, take this Spirit Stone."


    A man who was clearly from the Southern Mysterious Domain approached the boy''s stall with an arrogant air, tossed a Spirit Stone onto the ground, and spoke as if he was doing him a favor.


    The boy raised an eyebrow and replied coldly, "Not selling."


    "I''m giving you face and you dare to decline? How much do you want for them?" The man looked at the boy in amusement.


    "Ten sovereign-grade Spirit Stones," said the boy.


    "Not taking ten Spirit Stones is too less. These herbs can produce several Divine Elixirs in my hands, they''re worth at least a hundred sovereign-grade Spirit Stones."


    Chu Yuan paused to watch.


    "Ha ha, thinking you''re something, huh? All high and mighty, yet wanting ten Spirit Stones for them. I''ll tell you, giving you one is already doing you a favor. If you don''t want to sell, scram. You people, being allowed to live here is already a huge favor."


    The man sweep his hand carelessly, messing up the boy''s stall.


    "Our Medicine Cultivation n is not lowly. We are the descendants of the Celestial Gods!"


    The boy''s eyes brimmed with tears, his face fierce like a furious young tiger, showing his ws and teeth.


    "Oh, getting angry at me now? Where did I go wrong? Isn''t it known by everyone that your Medicine Cultivation n has weakened to the point of bing the servants of others, with no freedom of your own anymore? And you im to be the descendants of the Celestial Gods, pfft!"


    The manughed loudly, joined by the surrounding onlookers.


    "The Southern Mysterious Domain was once dominated by my Medicine Cultivation n!"


    The boy clenched his fists, but in the end, he knew he was no match for this man, gritted his teeth and started packing up his stall to leave.


    "Teach him a lesson before letting him go. These people have thick skins and are not afraid of being beaten. They won''t die."


    The man was annoyed by the look of anger in the boy''s eyes, feeling that it was a vition against him.


    "I''ll take these herbs."


    Chu Yuan suddenly stepped forward, looked at the herbs and said, "Ten Spirit Stones are too few. I''ll give you a hundred."


    "Kid, who are you!"


    The arrogant man who was at the Inquisitive stage noticed Chu Yuan and cursed at him.


    However, with a wave of Chu Yuan''s hand, the man suddenly disappeared as if vanished into thin air. He had been banished into the void by Chu Yuan''s maniption of space.


    "A powerful being!"


    Seeing the man disappear right before their eyes, the onlookers all understood that they were witnessing a true powerhouse.


    "Not for sale."


    The boy was stubborn, with reddened eyes. Even after hearing Chu Yuan''s offer of a hundred Spirit Stones, he did not sell his herbs, instead packed up his stall and prepared to leave.


    "You said you''re from the Medicine Cultivation n." Chu Yuan said.


    "You''re not from the Southern Mysterious Domain!"


    The boy quickly turned around and looked at Chu Yuan.


    "Indeed, I am not from the Southern Mysterious Domain." Chu Yuan said.


    "There aren''t many people in the Southern Mysterious Domain who don''t know about my Medicine Cultivation n." The boy''s eyes shone red. "We''re not a lowly n, but a noble Medicine Cultivation n. We were the rulers of the Southern Mysterious Domain!"


    "The world changes, flowers bloom and wither, as the years go by. Who can obtain true eternity? And who remembers the forces from millions of years ago? Your Medicine Cultivation n may have declined now, but their past glory cannot be erased."


    Chu Yuan found this boy intriguing and asked, "What''s your name?"


    "My name is Medicine Pine!"


    The boy proudly imed.


    "Medicine Pine..." Chu Yuan nodded. "Your herbs are exceptional. Their Spiritual Energy is several times denser than simr herbs."


    "Of course. My Medicine Cultivation n excels at raising divine nts. We have an ancient herbalist''s book. How could the divine nts out there be of anyparison? The divine nts cultivated by my Medicine Cultivation n have several times the normal medicinal properties. If our elders cultivated them, it would be even more impressive."


    Medicine Pine stood up tall and said, "And the divine nts cared for by our n chief, can have up to ten times the medicinal properties!"


    "That''s incredible!"


    Chu Yuan eximed in surprise.


    "Of course. Also, we can shorten the maturing period of medicinal nts without damaging their effects; it can be even more terrifying."


    Medicine Pine borated further, "Cultivating medicine isn''t arbitrary nting but calling out the spirit within each nt and each tree with a genuine spirit. It''s about understanding what these medicinal nts need. They don''t understand how to cultivate medicine."


    "Since there is a Medicine Cultivation n in the Southern Mysterious Domain, why didn''t I feel the special effects in the herbs that Ning Wan gave me? Could there be something more to this?"


    The boy''s words made Chu Yuan more interested in the Medicine Cultivation n. ording to the boy, the Medicine Cultivation n was once very brilliant. They were merely in decline now.


    "Would you be able to take me to your Medicine Cultivation n?"


    Chu Yuan was genuinely interested.


    "You want to go to the Medicine Cultivation n?"


    Medicine Pine looked up at Chu Yuan. Though his cultivation was weak, he could sense an indescribable terrifying energy from Chu Yuan, void of any hostility, so he nodded in agreement. "Alright, I''ll take you to the Medicine Cultivation n. After all, our n is not a secret in the Southern Mysterious Domain. Everybody can go there.


    Many peoplee to trample over the fields of our Medicine Cultivation n."
