462: Chapter 352 462: Chapter 352 Before Jiang Tang transmigrated, he had read some fantasy novels where the space would recognize another person as its master after the original owner had died.
Then, all the medicines and items that the former master had placed inside would be inherited by someone else.
This was also why he only planted in the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, slowly collecting everything he harvested into his own space.
He also gathered all the Demonic Beasts and plants into the Hell Palace, merely to make controlling the Hell Palace a bit easier and to prevent the Artifact Spirit from changing and doing things without his knowledge.
Using the Buddhist Seal he had just learned, Jiang Tang sealed the exit of the Hell Palace.
If the Artifact Spirit attempted to betray him secretly or if any of the Ghost Cultivator items wanted to come out, they couldn’t break the seal and thus couldn’t escape.
The Buddhist Seal, especially one that could control spirits, had even trapped that powerful monkey, so he believed the Ghost Cultivators inside would have no choice but to stay obediently within the Hell Palace.
Suddenly, Jiang Tang began to collect those purple plants.
At first, no one noticed, but as Jiang Tang’s Flying Treasure started to fly away, everyone couldn’t help but look down at the mountain below them.
What a sight it was – where there had been a mountain full of plants and flowers, there was now only bare soil and rocks, as if what they had seen before was just an illusion.
Puzzled, the group began to talk amongst themselves.
“Hey, what happened to those beautiful purple flowers that were there just a moment ago?”
Yun Duoduo stamped her feet, regretting not picking a couple of flowers quickly when she had the chance.
Why didn’t she hide them when she encountered such flowers?
It was like coming across an opportunity for cultivation and not treasuring it, grasping it – she couldn’t help but feel regret!
“My little flowers, why can’t I see them anymore?” Tang Yanhong spoke while also wanting to jump down from the Flying Treasure to check the mountain below.
The group exchanged words, none quite believing that what they had seen was an illusion, struggling to accept how the beautiful purple mountain could have turned bare in the blink of an eye.
They could feel that those purple flowers possessed some kind of luster that could induce illusions, suggesting they weren’t ordinary plants.
Not just the girls regretted not obtaining a single plant; the Dugu brothers also thought that such purple matter might be beneficial for their worm cultivation and could potentially develop a new kind of Worm.
Dugu Yan’er, sharing the same thought as her elder brother, also regretted that she had listened to Jiang Tang too obediently, missing the chance to obtain the Spirit Plant.
Watching everyone getting ready to jump off the Flying Treasure, Jiang Tang did not stop them, since he had already collected all the plants.
If the plants could take root and sprout again, it would prove that there were still roots under the mountain.
He would then dig them up before anyone else noticed.
However, having already used his powerful Divine Sense to observe the entire mountain, he had not found any additional seeds or roots.
The sudden appearance of the Illusion Colors on that mountain was because the place had been sealed by the monkey, which was the exact spot where something had fallen from the sky millions of years ago.
He had now collected that patch of soil into his internal space.
Not only had he collected the Illusion Colors, but he also took the soil that could produce them.
That soil was no ordinary soil.
Upon collecting that type of soil, Jiang Tang realized his internal space received a boost, and the Spirit Plants inside were growing at an accelerated rate.
It turned out that his Earth Spirit Root, the weakest among his Five Elements Spiritual Roots, had now expanded significantly thanks to this soil.
He felt that it was the right moment to upgrade, but he controlled the overwhelming feeling from his Earth Spirit Root.
There was a greater use for this soil in his space, for higher purposes.
This could strengthen his body and improve the quality of plants, increasing their medicinal potency.
He believed that Supreme Elixirs were not the strongest form of Pills.
The title of Supreme Alchemist wasn’t the highest one could achieve either.
If he could elevate Spirit Grass to create Immortal Pills, that would indeed be his ultimate pursuit.
The group of nine men and women arrived atop the barren mountain, using their Magic Artifacts to dig through the soil.
They wanted to find the Spirit Plants they had just seen, hoping that if they could unearth the roots, they could also transplant them.
Unfortunately, after upturning all the soil, they found nothing but dirt and stones.
Their gazes shifted back towards the opening they had seen earlier.
The previous opening in the mountain was now gone, as though the soil of the mountain had moved, or as if the hole had collapsed and they could no longer see the same cave where the monkey had been sealed.
It was as if everything had been an illusion, but they had truly seen the monkey and the Vine Whip.
So why had the purple flowers on the mountain vanished so suddenly?
At first, they couldn’t understand what had happened, but gradually it dawned on them.
It seemed Jiang Tang did something, and after that, they couldn’t see the purple plants anymore.
“It must have been Jiang Tang; Jiang Tang must have taken the plants,” said one of the girls, to which the others nodded, and even one of the men agreed.
It perplexed them why Jiang Tang would do such a thing, why he would take away the Spirit Plants if he didn’t want others to touch them.
Though they found his actions possessive and didn’t have much to say about it – as this place was to be Jiang Tang’s base – they still felt somewhat discontent.
They had wished to take even a small part of the plants home with them.
But Jiang Tang didn’t leave them anything; they thought he was being a bit too domineering.
The group used their personal Flying Treasures to ascend into the sky, bombarding Jiang Tang with a barrage of questions as the girls chattered incessantly.
