Chapter 197 Repair
Wei Chaoyan trembled slightly, but quickly recovered. She then continued to bend over and lower her head as if nothing had happened, carefully examining every inch of the picking route without stopping. She stopped only after checking the entire area and returning to her original position. She straightened her aching back and solemnly shook her head at Lady Yan to indicate that nothing had been missed and that there were no more resentment-repelling herbs left in the area.
Although, when Wei Chaoyan secretly transferred the last King Grass into her soul space, everyone present, including Wei Chaoyan, Lady Yan, and dozens of others, suddenly had a sudden realization—
All the resentment-repelling herbs growing here have been picked, leaving no one behind. And when they leave this place, it will be the moment when this place completely disappears from the world.
In other words, once they set foot on the muddy ground at the foot of the mountain, the area where the resentment-repelling grass has grown for many years will completely disappear, and there will be no more resentment-repelling grass in this area in the future!
Despite this realization, Lady Yan and the others still held a faint hope that the omen was an illusion and that Wei Chaoyan could still find a few who had slipped through the net.
This thing is extremely delicate, but it plays an irreplaceable and crucial role in the Chen Dynasty's ultimate strategy of conquering the world, and its supply absolutely cannot be cut off!
Before the New Year, Wei Chaoyan led a group to what appeared to be a potential location for the growth of the resentment-repelling grass near the curse wall of the mass grave outside Yiling Town. However, in the following years, the imperial court secretly sent people to investigate multiple times, but all their efforts were in vain.
After several unsuccessful attempts, the court considered sending Wei Chaoyan to search and confirm the matter again. However, considering that she had made a prior agreement with Lady Yan and that she was busy with household matters after the recent death of her parents, it was not advisable to disturb her too much and damage their good relationship. Therefore, the court promptly abandoned the idea.
Therefore, no one can be certain that the newly discovered locations definitely contain traces of the Repulsion-Repelling Grass! Under such circumstances, this area is the first place where the Repulsion-Repelling Grass was discovered and is the only place where it exists so far, making it extremely important and not to be missed!
However, this time, fate was unkind, and Wei Chaoyan's shake of her head completely shattered Lady Yan's hopes.
When her hopes were dashed, Lady Yan's eyes dimmed, and disappointment filled her beautiful face. But after a moment, her lowered gaze fell on the front of her clothes, where she had hidden a storage bag full of jade boxes (the same one that Wei Chaoyan had put in her sleeve to hold the jade boxes, which she had returned to Lady Yan before she finished drinking water and pretended to check it again). Thinking of the abundant harvest inside, the gloomy mood in her heart was instantly swept away!
Although there will be no more traces of the resentment-repelling herb in this place, the huge harvest this time can sustain the court for a long time with careful planning, so it's not too bad!
With her mind clearing up, Lady Yan resumed her decisive and efficient style. After confirming that there were no more mistakes, she was unwilling to dawdle any longer. She immediately raised her hand and beckoned Wei Chaoyan to come forward and go down the mountain with her.
Wei Chaoyan obediently walked to Yan Niangzi's side, and the others, understanding the situation, arranged themselves in the same formation as before, firmly protecting Wei Chaoyan and Yan Niangzi in the center. Since there was no longer any resentment-repelling grass here, its strange illusionary effect also disappeared, so Wei Chaoyan no longer needed to lead the way on the return journey.
Therefore, Yan Qing directly and decisively took the lead, acting as the vanguard and leader, and cleared the way down the mountain. The others had no objections and were on high alert, protecting Yan and Wei as they cautiously made their way forward.
They proceeded cautiously, finally reaching the campfire-lit camp at the foot of the mountain just before the last rays of the setting sun faded completely. Exhausted, the group had no energy to do anything, so they simply washed up with hot water prepared by those left behind, ate a quick meal, and then lay down in their tents, where they drifted off to sleep peacefully under the watchful eyes of the guards.
Of course, this group of people in slumber does not include Yan Qing and the other ten highly skilled guards!
After having dinner, he rested for a while and, once he had regained most of his energy, he handed everything over to Lady Yan, took the storage bag, gathered his men, prepared dry food, clean water, and protective talismans and magical artifacts, and set off on his journey under the stars and moon with two fine horses.
They must deliver the resentment-repelling herb in this storage pouch to the emperor of the Chen Dynasty as soon as possible, lest things change and things go wrong!
On the second day, when they set off, Wei Chaoyan ignored the absence of Yan Qing and the other men in the camp, guessing what they had been doing all night. He quietly started live-streaming his meal, and then obediently rode with Lady Yan, speeding back to Yiling.
When Wei Chaoyan and her entourage, weary from their journey, returned safely to Yiling Town, Yan Qing and the others had not yet returned. She did not linger at the cloth shop. After washing up and having a meal, she insisted on returning to the Wei residence instead of spending the night at the cloth shop. Unable to persuade Wei Chaoyan of her inexplicable insistence, Lady Yan reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Under the protection of a female guard sent by Lady Yan, Wei Chaoyan returned to the Wei residence bathed in starlight and moonlight.
After seeing the female guard off, Wei Chaoyan locked the door and, unusually, simply said "goodnight" to the people in the live stream before ending the broadcast. Then, under the bright, frosty moonlight, she quickly ran into the small room where the memorial tablets were enshrined, lit candles, and offered three sticks of incense to each tablet in turn.
He then sat cross-legged on the futon on the ground, lowered his head and closed his eyes, withdrawing his consciousness into the mustard seed space in his sea of consciousness, heading straight for the location where the King of Exorcism Grass was placed.
In the vast, empty space, the verdant grass stood out vividly.
The moment Wei Chaoyan's consciousness touched the green outer skin of the king grass, the entire plant instantly melted into a pool of emerald green sap. Then, with lightning speed, it unfolded into a thin, transparent green veil, rapidly spinning and expanding until it became so large that it completely enveloped Wei Chaoyan's consciousness.
The green liquid maintained the form of consciousness for less than a third of a breath, just like the morning dew under the rising sun, which seeped into Wei Chaoyan's consciousness in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace.
The speed was so fast that it didn't even allow her consciousness to flash once before everything was settled. Wei Chaoyan looked on in disbelief; the events that had just transpired were too fast for her to process.
If she hadn't clearly remembered that in the empty southern corner of that space, she had indeed placed a particularly vibrant green plant there, she would have thought that what she had just witnessed was a figment of her imagination due to the influence of evil energy.
Before she could feel down for long, Wei Chaoyan felt a familiar sensation deep within her soul, a sensation she had experienced before when she discovered the King Grass. However, this time the sensation was more real and lingering. Her entire soul felt as if it were soaking in warm, gentle water, just like returning to the safe and comfortable amniotic fluid, receiving the most tender nourishment and repair!
As Wei Chaoyan squinted and smugly enjoyed herself, almost moaning with pleasure, in the unseen realm of her consciousness, on the figure covered in hideous cracks, a greenish liquid swam swiftly like a snake across every crack where red runes flowed. With each pass, the red light of the runes on the surface grew brighter and brighter, and the scars and marks gradually faded.
Finally, after circulating like this three times, all the green liquid, which had dimmed by 70%, flowed along the large and small traces to the sea of consciousness on the forehead of the figure. There was a dark and deep black hole, the size of a grain of rice, as if it had been pierced by some sharp weapon, resulting in a defect in his soul.
Despite its small size, the hole is severely damaged. All the remaining grass juice has flowed into it, but it has not done anything to repair it. The size, color, and appearance of the wound have not changed at all!
However, Wei Chaoyan, still in a daze, was unaware of everything that was happening deep within her consciousness. She only felt that her mind had become clearer, the pent-up frustration in her chest had dissipated considerably, and she had become more calm and composed. At least now her mental state was truly commensurate with her actual age!
