Therefore, those giants of the Sect specifically developed pill formulas to address this phenomenon, and then refined various materials according to these formulas to create medicinal dishes.
The Primordial Divine Furnace of the Five Element Sect operates in this manner, with carts filled with grains, meats, and herbs being poured in, discarding the dregs and concentrating the essence, which is then made into medicinal dishes for the disciples to consume.
Not to mention that the Primordial Divine Furnace is a Supreme Being artifact; even the ratios in those pill formulas are not something that can be developed in a short time. They are incredibly precious and can only be found among the giants of the Sect, who have the resources to develop them.
Ordinary people in the secular world often seek to enter Major Sects to practice Qigong largely because they want to consume the medicinal dishes within. Compared to various grain foods, while medicinal dishes may not compare to celestial pills or elixirs, they are the most suitable and achievable option for them.
Princess Zhulan took out a white jade bottle from her bosom, opened her palm, and poured out a pill, placing it in her mouth to chew.
Immediately after, Princess Zhulan sat cross-legged on the ground, slightly closed her eyes, and circulated True Qi to aid in digesting the medicinal pill she had just consumed.
Lu Chen sat quietly beside her, appearing idle. Suddenly, Lu Chen's ears perked up as he faintly heard strange sounds nearby. He looked around; they were already at the edge of the wasteland, and moving forward would lead into the forest.
The strange sounds had come from the side, still within the wasteland.
Furrowing his brow, Lu Chen remained silent. However, after digesting her medicinal pill, Princess Zhulan proactively asked Lu Chen, "It seems like you haven't eaten anything during our journey."
Lu Chen did not respond to this question but said, "Let's go take a look!"
With that, Lu Chen stood up and walked toward the direction from which the strange sounds had come.
"Where are you going?" Princess Zhulan looked at Lu Chen leaving and hurriedly stood up to follow him.
After walking for a while, the terrain of the wasteland began to change. Bald hills appeared one after another around them, yet there were still no trees or even a single blade of grass in sight.
Perhaps there used to be vegetation here; it was just that everything had withered away now.
Lu Chen stood still in place, gazing at his surroundings. What met his eyes was a desolate scene. Indeed, all the vegetation nearby had died; there was no sign of life at all—like hell itself—filled with an eerie atmosphere.
Just a moment ago, it was full of spring vitality, with lush green grass, but now, just a mere ten miles away, everything has completely changed. The difference is so stark that it feels as if one has suddenly been transported to a purgatory.
"What is happening?"
Princess Zhulan hurriedly ran to Lu Chen's side. When she saw the scene before her, her delicate face suddenly changed color, her mouth slightly agape in shock, appearing somewhat dazed.
"Someone has forcefully extracted the Plant Essence from this area, causing all the wood element spirits within the vicinity to wither and die," Lu Chen said calmly. The wood element spirits refer to all plants; they possess a certain spirituality, rooting and sprouting on their own, growing independently, and are beautiful treasures of nature that play an indispensable role in the ecosystem.
"Only those who practice Yin Zhen can accomplish this using Spell," Lu Chen continued. As a Qi Master who cultivates both life and energy, his understanding of Spell naturally far exceeds that of Princess Zhulan.
"Then who is this person?" Princess Zhulan slowly regained her composure from the shock. After all, she is a princess of a nation; although she does not cultivate life and energy, she has heard some related tales.
"I don't know," Lu Chen replied.
Currently, there are only two factions on Wind Blinder Archipelago: one is the Red Robe Sect, and the other is the Alliance Army led by Defender of the Realm Huangfu Xin. There must be those who cultivate life and energy within the Red Robe Sect, but they would not engage in such ruthless actions. Once the essence of plants is drained, it would take at least several decades to recover; some might even take longer—up to hundreds of years.
Lu Chen does not know much about the Red Robe Sect, but Wind Blinder Archipelago serves as their reserve base in the East Sea. Why would they destroy their own territory like this?
As for the Alliance Army, that is even less likely. Their strength is already formidable enough to conquer the entire Giant Barbarian Island without resorting to such despicable and malicious means.
Forcefully extracting Plant Essence must be a Spell technique; only those among the Sect giants who have cultivated Yin Spirit to the Void Immortal realm could achieve this, such as Young Sovereign and Yin Boqing.
Even if they were responsible for this, what could their purpose be? Plant Essence and Yin Spirit require entirely different Yin Yuan; unless there is a divine artifact like the Primordial Divine Furnace to facilitate conversion.
Lu Chen raised his hand and gently reached out to touch a tree that was half his height; however, this tree had completely withered and turned into dry wood.
The moment his palm made contact with the half-height dry wood, it instantly collapsed, crumbling more easily than tofu and turning into fine ash.
"What intense magical power!"
Lu Chen watched as the half-human, withered tree turned to flying ash, murmuring that the person who cast the Spell to extract Plant Essence was truly ruthless. This individual seemed to have exerted so much force that even the thin branches of the tree were reduced to dust, and the fragile flowers and grass on the ground completely vanished—truly terrifying.
Lu Chen secretly speculated that this person's Yin True Realm was at least that of a Void Immortal, or perhaps even higher. The exact level was unclear to Lu Chen. As for their purpose, that remained a mystery.
Suddenly, Lu Chen keenly sensed a powerful aura pressing down from the sky, reminiscent of the calm before a thunderstorm when a gentle breeze begins to stir. As a Silver Needle Practitioner, he possessed sharper senses than most, including the sixth sense of Wave Awareness.
"Heart!" Lu Chen suddenly jumped forward and pressed Princess Zhulan down onto a slope.
In an instant, Lu Chen felt an incredible softness beneath him, and the unique fragrance of Princess Zhulan wafted up—warm and fragrant like soft jade, sending waves of pleasure through him.
This scene came without warning; Princess Zhulan had not reacted in time. She immediately felt anger rising within her, wanting nothing more than to leap up and tear Lu Chen apart. After struggling violently for a moment, she suddenly noticed a massive creature resembling a bat soaring through the darkened sky, reflected in her clear, mirror-like black eyes.
The enormous creature gliding through the sky had wings that spanned twenty feet and was covered in a muddy color with numerous wrinkles. Its feet appeared to have sharp claws, but it was too far away to see clearly.
Princess Zhulan finally fell silent, allowing Lu Chen to remain on top of her without any resistance. She was still because she had seen the Flying Demon—a sight that filled her with fear.
