Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

"Let's go in and take a look." Xue Yao suggested, with a gleam of exploration in her eyes.

Everyone nodded in agreement and followed her in.

They walked cautiously along the path, the trees around them growing denser and denser, and the light becoming dimmer. Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted over, making people feel relaxed and happy, as if it could purify the soul.

"This is..." Su Xin said softly. She was very sensitive to plants and trees. "It's the fragrance of Tianxin grass."

Tianxin Grass, a rare herb said to help cultivators comprehend the universe and improve their spiritual cultivation. Upon hearing this, everyone perked up and quickened their pace.

At the end of the path, in an open space, grew a patch of heart-shaped grass. Its leaves shimmered with a faint blue light, like the brightest stars in the night sky. In the center of the heart-shaped grass stood a massive stone tablet, engraved with ancient runes, seemingly telling of a distant history.

"The runes on this stone tablet seem to record some kind of cultivation method." Bao Ling said after careful observation.

Xue Yao stepped forward and gently touched the stone tablet. An ancient and powerful force flowed through her fingertips and into her body. She closed her eyes, feeling the power flowing through her body, as if guiding her into a mysterious realm.

Others followed suit, each seemingly receiving a different revelation from the stone tablet. This mysterious cultivation method seemed to be closely related to their respective cultivations, benefiting them immensely.

"This secret garden is indeed a treasure land. Not only does it have spiritual lotus and Tianxin grass, but it also has such a magical method of cultivation." Yun Duoduo exclaimed, her eyes flashing with longing for the future.

"Yes, we must seize this opportunity and apply what we have learned to our practice." Su Xin said seriously. She thought that now that she has a clear understanding of the situation, it will be convenient for her to go wherever she wants in the future.

At the same time, I once again felt that I was so lucky to have met Xueyao.

Everyone sat cross-legged in the clearing of the Tianxin Grass and began to try to comprehend the revelations on the stone tablet. As they gradually entered a state of concentration, the surrounding spiritual energy began to become more active, as if attracted by their aura and converging towards them.

Time passed unnoticed, and when they opened their eyes, it was already dark. They discovered that their cultivation had improved to varying degrees, and their hearts were filled with joy and gratitude.

But Xiao Lin'er was thinking that in such a spiritual valley, there might be other discoveries.

Sure enough, they found a hidden cave in a dense patch of grass.

A faint light emanated from the cave, as if there was some mysterious power within. Xue Yao led everyone carefully into the cave and discovered that it was actually a holy place for cultivation filled with spiritual energy.

The cavern's interior was vast and profound, its walls radiating a soft glow, illuminating the entire space with a dreamlike quality. The air was filled with a richer, almost tangible spiritual energy, inviting one to breathe deeply, eager to absorb this purity and power.

"This place... is simply a paradise for practitioners!" Qing Yi exclaimed, his eyes flashing with excitement, obviously shocked by this sudden discovery.

Having been in the Secret Garden for so long, they had no idea that such a wonderful secret realm for cultivation lay hidden here. Everything they had experienced before seemed to be paving the way for this moment.

Xue Yao walked lightly forward, her eyes scanning the cave, searching for possible treasures or deeper secrets. Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to an inconspicuous corner—there stood an ancient jade tripod, a faint smoke curling from within, emitting waves of an alluring medicinal aroma.

"Is this... an alchemy furnace?" Bao Ling shouted in surprise. He walked quickly forward and carefully observed every detail of the jade tripod.

As the team's refiner, he possessed a keen intuition regarding these types of instruments. While not all eight members were experts in alchemy, their skills were not bad at all, and if placed outside, they would always be able to outperform many others.

"It seems that this is not only a holy place for cultivation, but also the place where a master once refined medicine." Xue Yao speculated. She gently stroked the jade tripod, feeling the ancient aura lingering on it. "Perhaps, we can try to refine some medicine here. With the help of the spiritual energy here, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They began to divide the work, some gathering spiritual herbs from the cave, while others flew outside to prepare the ingredients for alchemy. Xue Yao sat before the Jade Cauldron, closing her eyes and concentrating, sensing the flow of spiritual energy around her. Surprisingly, she could also sense the Jade Cauldron's presence.

Before long, a rich medicinal aroma filled the air, lifting everyone's spirits. Finally, under Xue Yao's meticulous control, the first batch of pills was successfully produced. Each pill was round and plump, exuding an alluring luster.

"What a great furnace!" Everyone cheered.

However, just as they were immersed in joy, a slight tremor suddenly came from the depths of the cave, as if some giant creature was awakening. Everyone immediately became alert and grasped their weapons tightly, ready to deal with any possible danger.

"Everyone be careful, the guardian spirit beast here might have been alarmed by the aura of our alchemy." Xue Yao said in a deep voice, her eyes showing both vigilance and curiosity.

As the tremors intensified, a massive spirit beast covered in golden scales slowly emerged from the depths of the cave. Its eyes gleamed with wisdom, clearly possessing a high level of intelligence.

"This is... a descendant of the Golden Dragon?" Bao Ling exclaimed. He recognized the spirit beast's identity and was filled with shock. "Legend has it that the Golden Dragon is one of the most powerful spirit beasts in the world, able to control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, possessing the power to change the weather."

Facing this powerful being, no one dared to be careless. But they also understood that having come here, there was no turning back. So, they mustered their courage and calmly yet firmly expressed their intentions and sincerity to the descendant of the Golden Dragon.

Unexpectedly, the descendant of the golden dragon did not attack immediately. Instead, it surveyed each of them with its majestic eyes. After a moment, it seemed to have made a decision. Its massive body slowly retreated, clearing a path leading deeper into the cave.

"It...it allows us to move on?" Xue Yao asked in disbelief. She felt an unprecedented trust and expectation.

Everyone smiled at each other, their hearts filled with gratitude and courage.

They gathered their composures and continued on their unknown journey, each step more resolute and powerful. Deep within the cave, the light grew brighter, as if countless stars were gathered there, guiding them deeper into the secret realm.

As one ventures deeper, the cavern gradually reveals its true nature—a miraculous place sculpted by both nature and spiritual power. The walls are not only inlaid with gemstones, but also crisscrossed by delicate runes, like living creatures, emitting a faint glow that blends with the surrounding spiritual energy, forming a series of profound patterns.
