When Cherry saw the exotic flowers and rare herbs, her expression shifted slightly. She immediately
looked up at Rocky and asked, "Where did you get these flowers and herbs?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Rocky asked, noticing the strange expressions on the faces of
Cherry and Kayla.
"Yes, something is wrong, and it's a huge problem." Kayla nodded seriously.
"Can't they come in handy? Are these too ordinary?" Rocky asked in dismay. He thought from their
faces that none of these exotic flowers and rare herbs were any good.
"Are you kidding? If these exotic flowers and rare herbs are ordinary, then the world will be in chaos,"
Kayla blurted out almost excessively.
Rocky still didn't get it. He looked at them in confusion with an eyebrow raised as if to say, 'You'd better
start making sense soon.'
"Those flowers and herbs that you brought out are treasures of at least five hundred years old, Prince
Crimson. They are priceless treasures. Even our spiritual race can't help but covet them." Cherry
looked indifferent as she explained, a sharp contrast to Kayla's expression earlier. She pointed at one
of them like the rabbit ear, the herb Rocky found after entering the Heavenly God Temple. "This one,
especially, has been extinct for almost hundreds of years, and it is at least one thousand years old,
maybe even older..."
"Really?" Hearing this, Rocky couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the Heavenly
God Temple was really a place where treasures were everywhere.
"Tell me the truth. Where did you get these?" Kayla asked, fluttering her lashes coyly as if they would
distract Rocky enough to let the answer slip.
"It's a secret." Of course, Rocky would not tell the two women anything. After all, it was the place where
the exotic flowers and rare herbs came from was a mysterious place that even the spiritual race beings
didn't know of its location.
"Stingy!" Kayla rebuked. Then she asked, "Are you sure you want to refine these flowers and herbs?
It's too wasteful only to refine pills that can help one reach the Immortal Stage. As long as these
flowers and herbs are used in proper proportions, they can refine pills that even the advanced spiritual
masters yearn for."
"Anyway, we have ready-made ones. You can use them to refine! I just need the pills as soon as
possible. The sooner, the better..." insisted Rocky impatiently.
"What a reckless waste of grain! Fine, give me half a month!" Then Kayla put away the exotic flowers
and rare herbs and turned away.
After her departure, Rocky's eyes fell on Cherry, who behaved very much like a matriarch now.
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you. It's a good thing that you came here. We can talk now," Cherry said
thoughtfully.
"What did you want to talk about?" Rocky asked.
"Not long ago, I received the news that the eighth spiritual treasure also appeared," revealed Cherry.
Rocky's eyebrows shot up to his forehead in surprise.
"Really?" "The appearance of the eighth spiritual treasure means that only one more remains," she
continued.
She spoke so seriously that it seemed like she was telling Rocky about the end of the world. "Do you
want me to find the last spiritual treasure?"
Rocky asked with a frown. "No, that's not why I told you about this.
I just want to warn you. The last spiritual treasure shouldn't be found again. Otherwise, if all the nine
spiritual treasures are found, untold disaster will fall upon the whole world..." Cherry cautioned Rocky.
"I can seal the Sunrise Magic Dragon Bow back in the royal forbidden area so that the nine spiritual
treasures won't show up all at once," Rocky suggested.
"You don't understand. The so-called appearance of the nine spiritual treasures means that they leave
their sealed place. Do you think these nine spiritual treasures were just sealed and left in random
places? The nine places where the nine spiritual treasures were sealed were the nine strongest
spiritual meridians in the Wild Spirit Land. Before the nine spiritual meridians were sealed, the spiritual
power of the Wild Spirit Land was very abundant, far more than what it is now. It is also for this reason
that the powerful ancient demonic beasts, the ancient spiritual beasts, and the spiritual race beings
were created," Cherry explained.
"Then why were the nine spiritual meridians sealed?" Rocky asked.
"As the saying goes, things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. The nine
spiritual meridians are too powerful, which gave birth to nine very terrible calamity beasts. Wherever
the nine calamity beasts appeared, all kinds of disasters happened, and the people were plunged into
an abyss of misery. They once rampaged throughout the Wild Spirit Land, and the damage they
inflicted on the land made it seem like hell. It only stopped when they were sealed back into their own
spiritual meridians. After that, the Wild Spirit Land regained its new life," Cherry said seriously.
"Is it the spiritual race that sealed them?" Rocky asked with a frown.
"How is that possible? The power of these nine calamity beasts far exceeded that of the spiritual race,
and at that time, the spiritual race had just formed..." Cherry shook her head.
"Then who sealed these nine calamity beasts? Is there really such existence stronger than the spiritual
race being in this world?" Rocky was doubtful about Cherry's story. If her ancient story was to be
believed, then even the nine calamity beasts were so powerful that the spiritual race could not resist
them. It meant that, perhaps, a mysterious and mightier race existed before the spiritual race.
If that was the case, it proved to be true what the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast had told Rocky before.
Indeed, the spiritual race was not the most powerful existence in the world.
However, Rocky's conjecture was baseless without evidence, so he needed to confirm it with Cherry
before anything else. Thus, he silently waited for her to continue speaking.
"Everything I know came from a stone tablet that our clan's ancestors left behind, so I can't give you an
answer." Although Cherry spoke sincerely, Rocky felt like she was hiding something.
He was quite disappointed. He finally had some clues, but he could not confirm them.
"Based on the records from the stone tablet, the nine spiritual treasures were sealed in the areas
where the nine spiritual meridians were located. That was because the seals on the nine spiritual
meridians the spiritual race had set before began to weaken for some reason. The nine calamity beasts
were also about to reappear during the period of the race's great prosperity. Therefore, the nine great
spiritual race clans that had the spiritual treasures decided to seal the nine spiritual meridians again
with the power of the spiritual treasures. This way, the nine calamity beasts would never be reborn, and
they could never again run amok in the Wild Spirit Land," Cherry continued.
"But at present, eight out of the nine spiritual treasures have shown up. And yet, no calamity beast has
been reborn. Is the record on the stone tablet really credible?" Rocky asked with some doubt.
"I don't know, but maybe the key is on the ninth spiritual treasure. If the record on the stone tablet was
correct, and the ninth spiritual treasure was taken out of its sealed place, the consequences would be
unimaginable. Moreover, it seems that many spiritual race clans don't know this secret, so they will
undoubtedly continue to look for the ninth spiritual treasure..." Rocky's eyes met Cherry's dim orbs, and
they were as dark as the future she was foretelling.
"Why are you telling me this?" Rocky knew that Cherry must have a purpose in telling him these things.
Otherwise, she would never have revealed them to him.
"I hope you can do something to protect the ninth spiritual treasure when necessary, to make sure that
no one will remove it from its sealed location." Although Cherry didn't say it clearly, everything became
self-evident.
"Okay. You can count on me, but only if it's necessary." Rocky also knew that if the record on the stone
tablet was accurate, he couldn't treat this matter carelessly. After all, many lives were at stake.
Cherry must be satisfied with his answer, as she nodded at him and remained silent.
"If you don't have anything else to say, I'll leave now." When she didn't speak, Rocky nodded, turned
away, and left.
