Chapter 124: Spirit Grass
Standing there and looking ahead, Song Qi could not help but smile.
Because of the difference in information, he was able to sneak into the historical remnant without anyone discovering him.
In his previous life, this place had only been discovered after half a year, after which many cultivators had come, causing this area to become quite lively.
This meant that he was half a year ahead.
The historical remnant seemed quite ancient and dilapidated; most of the structures had greatly decayed.
Song Qi and Chen Heng silently walked forwards.
On the way, Song Qi explained to Chen Heng about various things about this historical remnant.
"This historical remnant was left behind by the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect to leave some backup resources for the sect," Song Qi said lightly, "Afterwards, the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect left this place and relocated elsewhere.
"1,000 years ago, the Ten Thousand Sword Manor collapsed for unknown reasons, causing the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect's final legacy in this land to end.
"This historical remnant was left behind and was never actually used."
Every sect had backup plans like this. Let alone the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect, which was far above the mortal world, even ordinary aristocratic families did such a thing and left behind many backup plans.
A cultivation holy land like the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect would naturally make preparations when they were at their peak so that they could once again rise up if they went into decline.
This was just one of them.
It was just that the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect relocated, so this historical remnant remained unused and undiscovered.
Only now did it appear before the world's eyes.
"Why did the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect leave back then?" Chen Heng followed behind Song Qi as he asked.
"The environment changed."
Song Qi lightly sighed as he said, "This region's spirit qi and opportunities began to go into decline. The Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect long since predicted this, so they directly left for better places."
Chen Heng nodded in understanding.
Even though he had not cultivated for long, he understood that cultivators indeed required resources.
He had only just begun his cultivation journey, and this would be even more so for those who had traveled this path for a long time.
As such, it was understandable that a cultivation holy land would choose to leave because of such a reason.
"In actuality, it was not just the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect."
As if he thought of something, Song Qi smiled as he looked at Chen Heng, "Back then, many other sects also left this region.
"That is why there are so many historical remnants and legacies left by ancient sects here."
Speaking to there, he paused and gave Chen Heng a deep look.
If he remembered correctly, Enlightened Master Chen had discovered a secret legacy from a historical remnant, which was how he began his cultivation journey.
"So it's like that," Chen Heng nodded, not reacting that much.
Following this, they continued onwards, and the scenery before them was gradually revealed.
A medicinal field soon appeared.
The medicinal field was not very big, but it was filled with spirit grasses.
The spirit grasses looked like they had grown very well, but they just looked a bit messy.
"This is…"
Looking at those spirit grasses, Song Qi stared before an expression of delight appeared on his face, "Spirit grasses that have grown for thousands of years; they are akin to king medicines!
"It's a pity that they have not been properly nurtured for a long time, so their medicinal effects will not be as great," he sighed, feeling a bit of pity.
"Do we directly go in?"
Compared to Song Qi, Chen Heng was very calm as he looked at Song Qi.
"Very well," Song Qi nodded before heading into the medicinal field and began to extract the spirit grasses.
His actions were very careful, and he even used spirit energy as he picked the spirit grasses as if he was using special techniques.
"This is a gathering technique that can preserve much of the spirit grasses' effects," Song Qi looked up and explained sensing Chen Heng's gaze.
Following this, he passed this technique to Chen Heng.
Chen Heng gave it a try.
This technique was not very difficult; it just required some concentration but used much spirit energy.
With how much spirit energy he had accumulated, he could only use it for a short while.
He had to constantly stop and cultivate, internalizing spirit qi before he could continue.
It had to be said that this body's talent was indeed quite monstrous; even though he had just learned this technique, it only took him a short while to become proficient at it.
In fact, his actions did not seem any inferior to Song Qi's.
Looking at Chen Heng's more and more proficient actions, Song Qi could not help but inwardly marvel.
Sometimes, comparing with others could make one incredibly frustrated.
If it was just in terms of talent, Chen Heng would be one of the people with the best talent.
As for Song Qi, even though he had a Spirit Root, his talent was only ordinary.
Compared to people like Chen Heng, he did not seem like much.
If he had not returned to his past self, he would be nothing in front of Chen Heng.
Song Qi knew this clearly.
Only after staying here for a while did they stop.
Song Qi looked up and wiped his sweat as he said, "Alright, let's go."
Chen Heng nodded, but he soon paused.
He turned and looked towards a certain corner.
"What is it?"
Seeing Chen Heng react like this, Song Qi also turned and felt quite curious.
"There's someone there…" Chen Heng said as he frowned.
Just then, he had sensed a gaze. Even though it was very faint, he had definitely felt it.
It had only been for an instant before disappearing, as if it was an illusion.
However, given that they were in such a unique place, he could not just shrug this off.
"There's someone there?"
Hearing Chen Hengs's words, Song Qi felt quite startled and looked over.
Over there, there was a ruined structure, but no one was there.
However, Song Qi did not dare to question Chen Heng's senses.
After all, Chen Heng was at the Martial Illumination realm and was equivalent to a Qi Refining cultivator. Chen Heng was much stronger than him right now, so it made sense that he could sense things that he could not.
It was just that from what he remembered, this region should not have been discovered yet.
Right now, it should just be them who were here.
Who else could be here?
Song Qi could not help but feel confused as he looked at that corner.
"What should we do?" Chen Heng looked away and asked, "Do we keep going?"
After harvesting that medicinal field, they had obtained much spirit grass, which was quite a big gain already.
Even if they left now, they would not make a loss.
