Shen Jue stood at the edge of the divine-level medicinal field, his heart filled with both anxiety and anticipation. A gentle breeze rustled the spiritual plants in the field, as if they were whispering the secrets of their growth.

She spotted the Ice Soul Snow Lotus at a glance. Its translucent leaves were covered with tiny frost flowers that reflected a cool light in the sunlight. But upon closer inspection, she could see that the stamens were not yet fully open and it was indeed not yet mature.

Shen Jue bit her lip, feeling utterly helpless.

The Ice Soul Snow Lotus has a long growth cycle, and forcibly picking it will only greatly reduce its medicinal effects, making it unusable for breaking the curse.

She crouched down, her fingers gently stroking the leaves of a nearby herb, her thoughts wandering.

It's fortunate that this medicinal field can offer some hope; the real challenges lie in the remaining Blazing Spirit Fruit and Azure Sea Mermaid Tears.

Just as I was lost in thought, a little sprite peeked out from the herb field.

Shen Jue narrowed his eyes and naturally saw the little guy.

"come out!"

The little elf seemed quite timid; Shen Jue's cold and stern words made it shrink back in fear and hide under the leaves of the divine medicine.

(This is the guardian spirit of the divine medicine.)

(Chen Jue: The guardian spirit of the divine medicine?)

(The guardian spirit of a divine herb usually grows along with the divine herb it is born into. Since you've planted so many divine herbs, it's normal for a guardian spirit to emerge.)

Is this even possible?

(Chen Jue: Then what is the use of this divine medicine's guardian spirit?)

(The guardian spirit of the divine medicine can accelerate the growth of the divine medicine, and it may know clues about the divine medicine that you don't know.)

Knowing this information, Shen Jue's attitude towards the little elf naturally became gentler.

"Don't be afraid, come out. The medicinal field you're in is my medicinal field."

The little sprite peeked half its head out from behind the leaf, looking timidly at Shen Jue, its big, wet eyes full of wariness.

Shen Jue softened his voice and said gently, "I won't hurt you, little one. Look, I've taken great care of these divine medicines. You appeared on my territory for no reason, so of course I have to ask you what's going on. Don't you agree?"

The little sprite blinked and hesitated for a while before slowly flying out and hovering in mid-air.

It is small in size, with a soft glow emanating from its body, and its transparent wings flap rapidly, creating a subtle airflow.

"You...you really won't hurt me?" the little elf asked softly, her voice like a stream breaking through the ice in early spring, clear yet trembling slightly.

"Of course, I'm hoping you can help me."

The little sprite looked up and down, but in the end, it did not detect Shen Jue's malice.

In addition, it was born here, and although it doesn't go out, it knows that this place belongs to someone.

So the little elf lowered her guard a little and moved a little closer to Chen Jue.
