Yao Zhi felt a pang of sadness thinking of the orcs who had sacrificed their lives in the war. She then rallied her spirits and said, "I will definitely develop an awakening potion to awaken more orcs, giving them more ability to protect themselves on the battlefield."
Yao Zhi: "A Qing, would you like to study this with me? Your Wood Spirit Clan is naturally compatible with plants, and with your help, we'll definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort."
Mu Qing looked at the stern-faced, thin old man in front of him, who was looking at him with expectant eyes that also held a hint of pleading. He couldn't bring himself to say anything to refuse.
After confirming that Murong Yu would not be in any danger if he awakened here, they returned to the Mountain Stone Tribe with Yao Zhi.
Mountain Stone Tribe
Yao Zhi's residence in the Shanshi tribe was not far from Tu Ye's, both located in the center of the tribe.
As Mu Qing walked along, he saw that the tribe was surrounded by huge rocks, with houses of all sizes scattered around, some wooden and some stone.
Mu Qing followed behind Yao Zhi, and the two quickly arrived at Yao Zhi's house. Yao Zhi's house was a stone house, with four rooms built of huge stones, all of which were tall and spacious. The first room on the left was the largest, containing wooden shelves filled with medicinal herbs. It was in this room that Yao Zhi researched awakening potions. To the right was the cultivation room, where she cultivated and slept. Further back was a room for storing food and tools, and on the far right was the kitchen.
The stone house was surrounded by a large courtyard enclosed by a wooden fence. Herbs were planted on one side and dried on the other, leaving only a two-meter-wide passage for entry and exit.
Yao Zhi introduced the medicinal herbs on the wooden shelf to Mu Qing one by one, then pointed to a jar on the side and said, "This contains water from Awakening Lake."
Yao Zhi: "My idea is this: use Dragon Awakening Grass and water from Awakening Lake as the main ingredients, then add frozen fruit. The juice of the frozen fruit can extend the shelf life of food, and when added to the potion, it also has the function of sealing the medicinal effects. Then add a few herbs that replenish qi and blood to help stimulate the blood vessels..."
Mu Qing listened to Yao Zhi's explanation. He was still unfamiliar with the medicinal herbs here and couldn't offer any good suggestions. He could only occasionally help to stimulate the medicinal power of the herbs.
However, Yao Zhi was quite satisfied. Not only did she have someone to listen to her rambling about her research insights, but she could also help her with some tasks.
And so, Mu Qing spent her days with Yao Zhi, learning about medicinal herbs and helping out, and her nights returning to the valley to care for Murong Yu.
Yao Zhi also offered to let Mu Qing stay at his place, but Mu Qing refused.
Before I knew it, a month had passed.
Since arriving on the Wild Continent, Mu Qing has felt that the spiritual energy in the air is much denser than in the mortal realm, as is the wood energy. Here, spiritual energy spontaneously flows into his body every moment. Although it doesn't flow in as much as when he first arrived, it's a steady stream, and over the course of a month, he has accumulated quite a bit.
He no longer has the blessing of the Golden Lotus, but his superpower has already exceeded level nine. He doesn't know the exact level, but it's much stronger than before.
The Golden Lotus does not absorb spiritual energy, but the lotus seeds it leaves in the mortal realm receive offerings from the Heavenly Buddha Temple and the faith of the people of the dynasty, so the power of merit and faith continues to flow towards it. Merit and faith, unlike spiritual energy, are not affected by the boundary gate and follow the flow of cause and effect.
The Golden Lotus had suffered great losses protecting Mu Qing and Murong Yu during their crossing of the interdimensional gate, but it is gradually recovering. Mu Qing left it in the valley to help look after Murong Yu when he was not around.
Although Jinlian was reluctant to leave Mu Qing's side, she obediently stayed in the valley.
Mountain Stone Tribe
When Tu Ye returned from the hunt, he looked at Tu Ta and casually asked, "Tu Ta, what has Murong Yu been up to lately? Go ask him if he wants to join the hunting team tomorrow."
Tuta, who was gnawing on a piece of roasted meat, looked puzzled upon hearing this: "Dad, he's still at Awakening Lake."
