Chapter 605

Goodbye Water Demons
Translated by Yan of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

A immortal’s cave glowing with silverlight sat amidst a sky full of black miasma. It wasn’t hidden in the mountain like other cave dwellings, preventing other people from seeing it. Instead, this cave dwelling was essentially the complete opposite.

This cave dwelling was twenty or so yards tall, and it was made up entirely of a sort of glowing crystal. The exterior was covered by a transparent Restriction, obstructing everything outside. What was strange was that the owner of the cave dwelling didn’t actually grow the magic herbs within the Restriction.

There was a clear lake behind the cave dwelling. A large magic herb field had been established near the lake, and numerous transcendent level magic herbs grew in the field. Since they most likely had been corroded by the miasma all year long, the leaves and roots of the magic herbs looked ashy black. There was one small section of the magic herb field that looked the most sinister.

That section was only about two yards wide, and several dozen grade one transcendent level magic herbs were grown, scattered, inside it. There were some bumpy areas in the middle, but nobody paid attention to them. Their attention was all diverted by the appearance of the magic herbs.

This magic herb only had three leaves. At first glance, the shape of every leaf looked a lot like that of a human skull. The leaves were silver-gray, and their tops were outlined with several thin lines, making it look very similar to the eyes, nose, and mouth of a skull.

Underneath the three leaves was a small flower bud which hadn’t yet bloomed. Rumor had it that when the flower bud bloomed, the skull leaves surrounding it would also change into smiling expressions, making them exceptionally terrifying.

This kind of magic herb was the legendary Skull Herb. It typically grew in vile places, such as ancient tombs or amidst miasma.

Although the requirements to grow them were extremely harsh and eerie, the Skull Herb was still the primary ingredient for refining the rainbow magic pill Fire Bathed Jewel.

The Fire Bathed Jewel was a Grade Six Rainbow Level magic pill. It was also a transcendent level grade six magic pill that few possessed. Its specific effects were as amazing as the Samsara Pill’s, although they were made differently. Just like how a phoenix bathed in fire to be reborn, it could make someone be reborn upon the brink of death.

Because the conditions needed to grow the Skull Herb were very unpleasant, it was a kind of priceless transcendent level magic herb.

Xi Jing might have this kind of magic herb in places such as the Demon Beast Graveyard in the Ghost Tomb Mountain Range, but there weren’t that many people who actually dared to go into the Demon Beast Graveyard. The Demon Beast Graveyard contained the tombs of many large demon beasts and powerful experts, so if you took it lightly, you would meet your downfall. Therefore, even Tian Gou’s members very rarely went to the Demon Beast Graveyard.

Besides the Skull Herb, a dozen or so other transcendent level magic herbs were grown around the lake. There were about ten of each kind, swaying slightly, and they were all already matured.

Aside from this, there were quite a few herbs which were also ingredients for the Fire Bathed Jewel. Clearly, the cave dwelling owner’s goal for planting all these magic herbs was to refine the Fire Bathed Jewel Pill.

But even if there were many magic herbs, there were also many greedy people.

The sinister atmosphere grew tense along with the arrival of several groups of people.
