While Wei Yang and Xiao Yan were speaking.

”Wow, we’ve struck gold, struck gold! Now this is the kind of place I like, ah ah ah!”

At this moment, Zi Yan could no longer hold herself back. Her eyes were sparkling with countless little stars as she wiped away the drool dripping down her chin.

Finally, she couldn’t restrain herself anymore and pounced into a patch of energy-rich spirit mushrooms, grabbing one straight into her mouth. The medicinal herbs here had been growing for countless years, and the energy they contained was exceptionally dense, a true tonic for Zi Yan.

Although they hadn’t been refined into pills and thus lacked in flavor, the immense energy made Zi Yan completely forget about that tiny flaw in taste. Wei Yang and the others couldn’t help but smile at the scene, not bothering to stop her from ”wasting” the medicinal herbs like that.

After all, the little girl had made great contributions this time. Letting her ruin a few medicinal herbs — so be it. Wei Yang glanced around and sighed, ”There’s so many herbs here. Even if we filled all our storage rings to the brim, we probably couldn’t take even one ten-thousandth of what’s here.”

Xiao Yan could only give a wry smile and nod. He had never imagined there would be a day when he’d actually feel troubled because there were too many herbs to fit into his rings.

How extravagant.

Wei Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to pack up the entire forest and take it away, and said, ”Let’s go find the Soul Baby Fruit first. On the way, pick out some of the rarer medicinal herbs from here to bring along.”

Xiao Yan nodded helplessly.

Wei Yang walked forward, grabbing Zi Yan — who was sprawled among the ganoderma like a little piglet, gnawing and rooting about — by the back of her neck and lifted her up.

At that moment, she still clutched several spirit mushrooms in her arms, unwilling to let go, her cheeks bulging as she struggled to swallow what was already stuffed in her mouth.

Wei Yang tossed her aside, crouched to pick a few ganoderma for himself, stored them away, then waved his hand and started walking toward the deeper part of the forest.

”Let’s go, find the Soul Baby Fruit first.”

Xiao Yan and the others nodded, forcibly dragging Zi Yan — who had already latched onto another patch of herbs and refused to move — before following Wei Yang into the depths of the Ancient Medicinal Herb Forest.

The vast ancient forest was filled with a faint, drifting fragrance.

A thin mist of medicinal aroma hung over the woods.

Occasionally, one or two small beasts would dart out from a clump of grass, giving the whole scene a serene, fairyland-like atmosphere. Of course, even a seemingly ordinary patch of grass here was actually a type of medicinal herb that would be considered valuable in the outside world.

But in this place, it was as common as weeds, growing wildly everywhere. After all, even if it really were a weed, after growing in such an environment for so long, it would gradually transform and evolve into a medicinal herb containing a bit of medicinal power.

”This ancient forest has undergone countless years of transformation and has already become its own world. There are quite a few powerful magic beasts here, so everyone, stay alert.”

Several figures streaked across the sky and landed atop a large tree. Wei Yang scanned the surroundings, sensing carefully, and reminded them in a low voice. Xiao Yan and the others nodded.

They could also faintly sense many strong auras hidden throughout the forest — obviously the magic beasts that lived here. It wasn’t surprising. Even a pig raised in this kind of environment wouldn’t end up weak.

”Moreover, many of the magic beasts here are remnants of ancient species. Their combat power must be extremely strong. If we get entangled with one, it could be troublesome,” Ah Da said in a deep voice.

”Tch, what about ancient beasts? Relax, as long as you’re with me, nothing will happen.”

Zi Yan pouted, glanced around, sniffed the air lightly, and then tapped the tree branch with her toes. Her petite figure flickered forward, darting straight into the depths of the forest.

Seeing this, Wei Yang and the others couldn’t help but look at each other speechlessly. They almost forgot — this little girl’s true body was a genuine Ancient Void Dragon.

”Let’s follow her. In a place like this, sticking with her really can save us a lot of trouble,” Xiao Yan said with a smile, then quickly followed.

Wei Yang and the others chuckled and shook their heads before swiftly catching up. This ancient forest was enormous. Even at their speed, after flying for more than ten minutes, they still couldn’t see its end.

From this, it could be seen just how grand the handiwork left behind by that ancient Dou Sheng powerhouse truly was.

It even made Wei Yang and the others start to wonder — were all Dou Sheng experts this wealthy, or was it only those from ancient times who could leave behind such an extravagant legacy?

Along the way, Wei Yang and his group sensed quite a few fierce and powerful auras. More than once, massive and savage-looking magic beasts appeared nearby.

However, perhaps because Zi Yan was an Ancient Void Dragon, carrying with her a faint yet terrifying Dragon Might, or maybe because Wei Yang and the others were all at the Dou Zun level, exuding powerful pressure of their own —

Those beasts didn’t dare to approach or cause trouble. They only glanced at them from afar before withdrawing, which made their journey surprisingly smooth.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Their figures streaked swiftly through the forest. But then, at one moment, Wei Yang suddenly halted, his body stiffening as he turned his head toward a certain direction, brows furrowing slightly before he let out a faint sigh.

”Brother Wei, what’s wrong?” Xiao Yan quickly asked upon seeing this.

”There are other people who’ve come in... and there’s quite a few of them,” Wei Yang said helplessly.

”They found the stone gate that quickly?” Xiao Yan frowned.

”No, they didn’t come through that stone gate. They came from another direction. Seems like there’s more than one entrance to this ancient forest.”

Wei Yang shook his head, then said, ”Let’s pick up the pace. Once we find the Soul Baby Fruit, we should also take the chance to gather some of the rare medicinal herbs here.”

”Zi Yan.” He called out.

”I already sensed it.” Before Wei Yang even finished speaking, Zi Yan’s little face lit up with excitement as she turned and shouted back.

”Is it the Soul Baby Fruit?” Xiao Yan quickly asked.

”Mm, no mistake. When it comes to the scent of heavenly treasures like this, I’m more familiar with it than you are.” Zi Yan nodded confidently.

Without delay, she determined the direction and her figure shot forward like lightning. Behind her, Wei Yang and the others immediately followed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Soft wind-breaking sounds echoed through the depths of the forest. Now that they’d found the trace of the Soul Baby Fruit, Wei Yang and the others couldn’t help but speed up. The group followed after Zi Yan, darting through the forest for a while.

Ten minutes later, Zi Yan finally stopped on top of a large tree ahead, her gaze fixed tightly in one direction. Wei Yang and the others swiftly landed besides her, following her line of sight — and then they froze, joy flashing across their faces.

Not far ahead was a small lake, about ten zhang wide. The lake water was exceptionally clear, yet when one looked down, its depth couldn’t be seen at all. At the center of the lake, a small patch of floating land hung in midair, like an island suspended above the water.

On that little island grew a very peculiar-looking small tree.

The entire tree was silver-gray, its branches intertwined like tangled vines. As those branches stretched and twisted together, they formed a strange curve — and from a distance, one could oddly see that its shape resembled a plump, pregnant woman standing there.

Within the bulging ”belly” formed by those intertwined branches, faint threads of golden light could be seen flickering and flowing out softly.
