At this moment, Wang Zheng truly embodied the old saying: "Plucking feathers from a passing goose, leaving skin from a departing beast."

Wherever he goes, the ground is scraped away three feet.

He didn't care whether the plants in the herb garden were medicinal herbs or weeds; he would just shovel at them and then throw them directly into his storage space.

That's why they say they know their stuff. Even the most useless weeds have long since transformed into something extraordinary under the influence of this rich spiritual energy that has been cultivated for thousands of years.

In the outside world, they would be something that grandmasters would fight tooth and nail to acquire.

As for those unripe, green fruits... Young Master Wang didn't mind them either, and didn't let them go either, aiming to catch them all in one fell swoop.

These unripe fruits are not because they are too precious or require too long to grow.

The result was quite the opposite; the value might not have been that high.

It's important to know that not all spiritual plants can grow indefinitely regardless of their age.

After countless spiritual plants flower and bear fruit, under the erosion of time, and finally because no one harvests them, the fruits gradually ripen and fall, rot and then go deep into the mud, where new shoots will sprout anew.

Only through countless cycles of life could such a medicinal garden, brimming with spiritual plants, be revealed before Wang Zheng...

Wang Zheng could also use this aspect to easily distinguish the preciousness of these spiritual fruits.

To be fair, our young master Wang thought things through very thoroughly, and his actions were extremely wise, ensuring to the greatest extent possible that these precious thousand-year-old medicinal herbs would not be damaged due to his own operational mistakes.

Putting aside the fact that he had no idea how to process certain medicinal herbs, the land itself, which had been nourished by the spiritual liquid, could be considered spiritual soil.

They are naturally of exceptional value, so digging for some is a worthwhile investment.

Furthermore, regardless of whether the spiritual herb, which was thrown into his storage space by its roots, could continue to grow, it would at least make the spiritual energy in his space more abundant.

Moreover, Young Master Wang harbors even greater ambitions. He doesn't just intend to profit from this one round of gains; he plans to use Chu Xiaoman's visualization techniques and the spiritual soil to cultivate the plant again after returning to Jingnan.

If this really works, then there will be an endless supply.

Young Master Wang was tirelessly digging, and before he knew it, he had almost finished building the herb garden. At this moment, the spiritual energy in the entire herb garden had thinned out considerably, and it was a mess with potholes everywhere.

During this time, Wang Zheng could also feel that this space was constantly shaking. It should be that the demon kings and grandmasters from the outside world had found a place and were breaking down the boundary barrier of this Heavenly Palace.

"If we don't find a way out soon, we'll really get caught!"

"Just one more shovelful, just one more!"

...

"If I don't leave now, I really won't be able to leave..."

"Alright, let's go find the exit! Hmm, this spirit fruit looks exceptionally lively; it's clearly no ordinary thing. Let's dig it up, dig it up!"

...

Such conversations occurred countless times in his mind. Wang Zheng made up his mind countless times to find a way out, but time and time again he was firmly held back by his own greed.

Fortunately, although the vibration frequency of the barrier was getting faster and faster, and it seemed that it would break at any time, it was still quite sturdy. Wang Zheng dug out the last spiritual plant that had not yet been collected, and only when he looked at the devastated medicinal garden that he had ruined did he grit his teeth and stop.

It wasn't that he had stopped being greedy, but rather that there was simply no more room in the storage space.

Fortunately, he had planned ahead and bought a lot of shelves. At this moment, in a corner of the storage space, there were more than a dozen layers of shelves, densely packed with spiritual plants with soil attached.

In the end, he could only choose those spiritual plants that seemed to have more spiritual energy.

As for the spiritual fruits, even the unripe and green ones, he swept them all up and piled them together, totaling over a thousand. He could only wait until he had time to sort them out one by one.

Looking at his masterpiece, Young Master Wang repeatedly confirmed that he had collected two or three of each type of spiritual plant before reluctantly running towards the pavilion standing in the very center of the herb garden.

There is only this one building in the entire backyard. This pavilion was originally intended to be used as a resting place, but no one has been here for who knows how long, so it has long been abandoned.

Wang Zheng carefully picked the few spiritual fruits from the pavilion and put them away. Then he cleared away the vines hanging on the pavilion one by one.

As the pavilion gradually came into full view, an extremely rich and ancient aura emanated from it, a feeling that seemed exactly the same as the Xuanlei Pearl in the void passage before.

When Wang Zheng and the others calmed down and looked carefully, they saw a huge jade platform made of jade floating in the center of the pavilion, exquisitely carved with dragons and phoenixes.

Above it floated a hazy, gray mist.

Although this fog may seem inconspicuous, it actually contains extremely dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it also has an extremely terrifying attraction. The aura it emits is incredibly powerful, and it even seems to be able to attract the air itself.

The lifelike dragon and phoenix totems on the jade platform seemed poised to take flight, locked in a fierce struggle, as if vying for the ancient aura.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that this cloud of energy is similar to the primordial lightning that Lei Peng spat out earlier, but compared to the lightning bead, the energy of this gray mist is far inferior.

The hazy, gray mist hovered in mid-air, constantly churning and writhing, as if it possessed its own intelligence.

Moreover, an extremely ancient and mysterious aura emanated from it, rushing straight towards Wang Zheng's face, making him involuntarily shudder.

Wang Zheng was surprised and was about to step forward to take a closer look when he suddenly felt that his body had lost control. He then found that his whole body was burning hot and red mist was spreading. Instantly, he activated the Transformation of Heaven and Earth state and transformed into a small, half-human-sized ferocious beast.

Before Wang Zheng could react, he found himself in the divine consciousness space. When he felt that familiar sensation, he knew that the ferocious beast had taken over his body.

Seeing the ferocious beast stirring in his sight, he became extremely anxious and couldn't help but shout.

"What are you doing?! Don't do anything reckless, you... Holy crap! Don't use my body to eat random things!!!"

At this moment, the small, ferocious beast in the pavilion heard Wang Zheng's urgent shouts, but it remained completely unmoved, clearly not intending to respond.

Then he leaped into the air and swallowed the ancient, mysterious mass of energy in one gulp...
