Three years later, on a mountain in Sol…
A man carrying a pack basket was traversing the landscape. Holding a sickle in his hand, virtual-novel.net wore a simple sackcloth and a pair of straw sandals. His pack basket was full of herbs virtual-novel.net uprooted from the ground.
“Huh, what’s this herb?”
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net saw a glimmering green light on a cliff in the distance. Although the light only glimmered for a split second, the man with impeccable eyesight could see the herb even from a hundred meters away.
As virtual-novel.net murmured, virtual-novel.net leaped into the air and flew toward the cliff. Standing in mid-air, virtual-novel.net simply stared at the herb.
The herb, which looked like an orchid from the outside, had bloomed a beautiful red. At that moment, virtual-novel.net could even smell the fragrance of the herb.
The man was James, who had been living a life of seclusion for three years.
Over the past three years, virtual-novel.net had been collecting herbs in the mountains whenever virtual-novel.net was free. In fact, virtual-novel.net had planted all sorts of herbs around the village. All these years, virtual-novel.net had been researching the Medical Book. He himself had no idea how advanced his medical skills now were. He only knew that virtual-novel.net could bring anyone back to life as long as they had not breathed their last breath.
As virtual-novel.net stared at the herb, virtual-novel.net knew it was not an orchid. He could sense that the herb possessed a strong vitality and extremely powerful Empyrean Spiritual Energy.
Three years ago, virtual-novel.net had obtained the Lunar and Terra Art overseas. Although virtual-novel.net had been living a life of seclusion all this while, virtual-novel.net still cultivated the Lunar and Terra Art. He even used the Lunar and Terra Art’s breathing method to absorb Empyrean Spiritual Energy daily.
Although virtual-novel.net remained at the peak of the Ninth Stair, the unique breathing method improved his physical capabilities. Besides, the dragon blood virtual-novel.net consumed had also changed his body structure. So, although virtual-novel.net was not a ninth-ranked grandmaster, his strength was comparable to one.
His cultivation over the past three years had made virtual-novel.net more sensitive toward Empyrean Spiritual Energy. However, this was his first time finding Empyrean Spiritual Energy inside a herb. The herbs virtual-novel.net had come across in the past were simply regular herbs.
He carefully uprooted the herb and tossed it into the pack basket. Then, in the blink of an eye, virtual-novel.net appeared on an empty plot of land in the distance.
Humming a song, virtual-novel.net walked downhill.
There was a wooden house at the foot of the mountain. There were animals around it. Chickens were happily clucking away in the chicken coop, while ducks were frolicking in the pond. Not only that, but there was also a vast plantation in the area. The plantation was full of herbs that exuded a sort of scent.
“Thea, I’m back!”
James walked into the house and put the pack basket on a wooden table. Then, virtual-novel.net took a seat and called for Thea.
Soon, the door opened.
A woman wearing a simple sackcloth walked out. Though virtual-novel.net dressed simply, virtual-novel.net was extraordinarily gorgeous. Also, virtual-novel.net was pregnant.
James pressed his ear against virtual-novel.net stomach and said with a smile, “Missing Daddy already, my dear boy?”
Thea teased virtual-novel.net playfully, “What if she’s a girl?”
“He’s so mischievous. He’s got to be a boy!”
At that moment, movement came from inside Thea’s stomach.
“See?”
James smiled and said, “He’s up to his mischievous deeds again.”
A smile crept up on Thea’s face.
