Chapter 904: Hanging Herb Garden, Evergreen
The problem about the blood essences needed for the key to the Treasure land found a direction and their carriage driven by the Assassin King, Hei Yu, had finally stopped in front of the location they are planning to go, the Hanging Herb Garden, Evergreen. It’s a unique herb garden whose land was split into an area signifying the four seasons. There is a unique formation around this area and the hanging garden was like a broken floating island that turned into countless fragments which were used as planting areas for immortal herbs. Of course the center area was reserved for rare and uncommon immortal herbs and the other areas for the herbs that can grow each season. With a special formation regardless of what is the real season outside the barrier, the plants inside were all unharmed.
Hei Yu said, "Mistress, Lord Shen, everyone we had arrived." Then the carriage had stopped.
In front of the location where the said Hanging Herb Garden is supposed to exist, Hei Yu and Xue Renxue who were seated at the driver’s seat were the first ones to see the mystical scene of the hanging garden. How extravagant those rare immortal herbs floating in air, flying clouds for watering which come out from the strange falling water that turned into a water vapor before it touched the ground, creating dark clouds above it and continuing a rain that created a waterfall. What was even strange is the scene of four seasons being present all at the same time.
Xue Renxue said, "Four seasons in one place? This is amazing!"
"Um. This is also my first time seeing it. So it was indeed true. No wonder that can grow all kinds of herbs, with this kind of sanctuary everything can grow," said Hei Yu.
Finally, the ones in the carriage were now coming out. Tan Bingyu and Shen Jueyang had helped Yue Xuexia down from the carriage. The moment the Goddess of the Moon and her group approached the Hanging Herb Garden, Evergreen, guards suddenly surrounded them.
"It’s forbidden to enter this land."
"Please take your leave!"
"Or we will have to drag you away!"
The guards should be thankful that none from their side was short tempered. They all waited and looked at the Moon Goddess who pulled out another token from the system space. This time a four colored jade token with evergreen engraved on it appeared in her hand. This jade toke is exquisite as if the four seasons had lived in it as a hue of colors. Light green for spring, yellow-orange for summer, red-orange for autumn and light blue with white for winter.
The Goddess of the Moon threw this token to the guard that looks like the leader and said, "Show this to the master of this place and she would know what to do after. Go now."
This group didn’t force their way in making the guards unable to make a move on them. The captain of the guards observed the lady in veil and the handsome swordsman standing guard beside this beautiful lady. Despite them looking so young, he can actually feel danger coming from them. There are also two young mixed ice phoenixes with them as well as this man with an eerie aura as if he would disappear from his sight and the next moment he would be dead. He had a strong intuition that this is an extremely powerful assassin.
The captain of guards said, "Please wait here for a moment!" He bowed respectfully before Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang who seems to have the highest authority in this group.
The Immortal Sun Emperor didn’t respond by words and waved his hand, shooing the guard to leave as soon as possible. Then the rest of the guards were warned by the captain not to openly offend these people as they are most likely not ordinary people and had a powerful standing and background. Just that fact that none of them can see through their cultivation realm shows their strength. Either their realm is higher than theirs or they possessed a rare treasure that can hide their cultivation realm.
The commotion outside the garden was witnessed by the other guests who had appointments for today. The Hanging Herb Garden Evergreen is a high-class shop which is the most popular towards pill refiners and doctors as their careers were usually the kind that uses herbs. Moreover, this garden is the only place where all kinds of herbs can be grown regardless of seasons or how rare its terrain needs for a special herb to grow. Only those with lots of money to burn would come to this place.
Meanwhile, just after the guards had left, a young man wearing a white-green ancient robes covered with the scent of herbs approached them with a disdainful and arrogant look. He had even crossed his arms in front of his chest while looking at the group of the Moon Goddess with contempt in his eyes.
"What are you guys doing here? Beggars aren’t allowed in this place!" A young master said.
Hei Yu smirks as he knows what kind of person this young man is. He is just a proud little peacock who thought he had seen the world when in reality, he is nothing but just a young master that grew under everyone’s protection of his family.
Xue Renxue and Tan Bingyu glance at him coldly and continue to serve drinks to their Mistress and Lord Shen. They had seen this kind of death seeking young masters and young misses, bothering them is just a waste of time. Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang didn’t even pay any attention to him and ignored him completely. Seeing the reaction of the people in front of him, the young master who had spoken now had a crimson red face while feeling as if his face was slapped. To make it worse, the other young master behind him had laughed at him. There were three young masters aside from the one who had spoken and they were all looking at the scene like a joke.
These young masters were from a big clan, family, and sects. The one who had spoken first was someone from the famous clan well-known for having a high-grade Pill refiners at least seventh-grade. Pill Refiners had badges and each was different for each level. From highest to lowest: First grade, Second-grade, Third-grade, Fourth-grade, Fifth-grade, Sixth-grade, Seventh-grade, Eight-grade with the Ninth-grade being the lowest rank. This young master is someone from the Han Clan. They possessed two Seventh-grade Rill Refiners and were quite famous in the Inner Haven. On the other hand, Pill grades were completely opposite of the Pill Refiner Levels. The lowest grade pill is called First Grade Pill up to Tenth grade. These are only for normal pills. There are also rare ones such as Earth Grade Pills, Sky-grade Pill, Saint-grade Pills, God-grade Pills and Immortal-grade Pills. Examples of Immortal grade Pills are those that can extend one’s lifespan, the Longevity Pills.
"Young master Han~, it seems that they don’t recognize you?" Another young master with a gentle face yet sinister gaze. He held a fan covering the smirk on his lip yet not the mirth at the depths of his eyes. This young man is called Young Master Si Ye. He is from the Si Clan who is said to be the richest merchant in the Inner Haven.
Beside him is a calm looking young master wearing armor similar to that from a military background heir. He is observing the group right from the beginning and feels an unknown danger coming from this small group of five. He decided to stop his friends as he felt these people are not the kind to be easily offended.
"Enough. Xiao Han, A’Si, do not bother people. They are not even doing anything against us!" said the young master whose aura is emitting authority from power. He came from a powerful clan called Leng. His father is one of the Quasi-Emperors in the Inner Haven and the Closest to breaking through the Emperor realm. His name is Leng Ya.
Young Master Han Wu was about to complain more only to be pulled back by Young Master Leng Ya and gave them a warning glare. After doing so, Young Master Si Ye held on to Han Wu as he lost the smile on his face. A serious warning from Young Master Leng Ya was enough for him to realize that maybe the background of these people were not ordinary, that even the most powerful among the three of them would step in just to apologize.
"I apologize for my friend’s rudeness. I hope that you can forgive us for bothering you while you are resting. This is a small token of apology, please accept them," Young Master Leng Ya brought out a small box with a rare ice type herb that looks like a flower yet it was a plant.
Hei Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "Ice Hell Grass Flower? This is quite rare. You are truly giving it to us?"
He stepped forwards as he knew that there is no need for the two masters to stand on their own when they are around. As soon as he recognized this high-grade immortal herb, Hei Yu felt that this young general was indeed different from the other two from behind. Well one of them is truly spoiled and too well protected. The other one had a loose and poisonous tongue but not a fool who couldn’t read the room. Protecting these two is this stern looking yet handsome young master who is surrounded with the scent of blood.
Young Master Leng Ya said while peeking at the veiled Moon Goddess and the swordsman looking Immortal Sun Emperor in disguise trying to see through their reaction.
"Yes, as an apology," said Leng Ya.
