The family of three fed one another, spending the morning in warm, happy harmony.
After finishing the Medicinal Porridge, Luo Ruying felt that her body had been nursed back to more or less normal, and strength gradually returned to her limbs.
So she brought up to Ning Yechen that she wanted to go out for a walk.
Since this would be her and her child's home from now on, she still had to make sure this place was hidden and safe enough.
At the same time, she also wanted to see whether the Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine Ning Yechen had said were picked in the back mountain were actually real.
She was very curious, and very doubtful, that such rare Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine could grow in the Human Realm.
Since Luo Ruying's injuries had already recovered and she wanted to go out for a walk, Ning Yechen was naturally delighted to accompany her.
The three of them walked out of the wooden house, and Luo Ruying began carefully sizing up their surroundings.
The wooden house sat in an open stretch of forest, wrapped on all sides by dense woods. Looking up, she saw towering mountains encircling them on every side. It could be considered a fairly secluded place.
The only drawback was that it was cut off from the world. There was no trace of human habitation around them, not even the shadow of half a town.
To Luo Ruying, however, that was not necessarily a bad thing.
If they could live hidden from the world here and pass the rest of their lives in peace, that would not be bad either...
"Wife, your husband will take you to the back mountain for a look."
Ning Yechen reached out his hand to Luo Ruying and invited her.
Luo Ruying hesitated slightly, but still placed her hand in Ning Yechen's.
With her other hand, she held Luo Hongye in her arms.
Ning Yechen held Luo Ruying's slender, soft hand and strolled toward the back mountain.
In the forest behind the mountain, a peculiar scene unfolded before their eyes.
With two towering trees as the boundary, the inner side of the trees was lush and verdant. At a glance, one could see all kinds of densely growing Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine flickering with spiritual light!
Yet on this side outside the trees, it was no different from an ordinary forest. Growing on the ground were only extremely common weeds and shrubs.
Such a huge difference left Luo Ruying greatly amazed.
It was the same stretch of forest, yet it held two completely different scenes!
Ning Yechen smiled faintly and led Luo Ruying across the boundary formed by the two towering trees.
The instant she stepped across, Luo Ruying clearly felt as if she had passed through some invisible barrier!
Within this side of the barrier, Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine covered the ground, numbering in the tens of thousands. The air was filled with spiritual energy dust visible to the naked eye, dazzling like specks of starlight, and the abundance of spiritual energy was astonishing!
It was as if she had sunk into spiritual dust to be cleansed; her whole body was bathed in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth!
Luo Ruying's beautiful eyes widened in shock.
The density of spiritual energy in this place was not inferior to the Immortal Realm at all!
No wonder such a great number of rare Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine could grow here!
It was too inconceivable!
How could such a place exist in the Human Realm...?
After her surprise passed, a deep question arose in Luo Ruying's heart.
Judging by the feeling of sinking into a barrier the moment she crossed over, this place should have been set up by some senior, who had laid down a barrier here to nourish the Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine with spiritual energy!
The barrier laid down was also one specially meant to seal in and gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Spiritual energy could only enter the barrier and could not leave, while humans and beasts could come and go freely.
To be able to lay down such a wide-ranging Spirit Gathering Barrier, the other party's cultivation had to be anything but ordinary!
What was strange was that the other party had only laid down a Spirit Gathering Barrier, yet had not set up any defensive barrier at all. There was not the slightest sense of precaution...
Could that senior really not be worried at all that the medicine garden he had so painstakingly arranged would end up making wedding clothes for someone else, whether another person or a demonic beast?
Luo Ruying pondered it a hundred ways and still could not understand.
Just which senior had descended to the Human Realm and arranged this medicine garden...?
"Wife, your husband didn't lie to you, did he?"
"Those medicinal ingredients were all picked here."
Ning Yechen introduced it to Luo Ruying with great pride.
This medicine garden was something he had created by transplanting quite a few Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine, burying tens of thousands of seeds, and spending a hundred years before it finally became the mountains and plains of Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine it was today.
Luo Ruying nodded.
Now she finally believed Ning Yechen's words.
She had not expected that the back mountain behind the wooden house would just happen to be this Immortal Medicine Garden.
His luck was rather good, letting him discover some senior's Immortal Medicine Garden...
Luo Ruying's beautiful eyes swept curiously over the great heap of Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine, ripples of surprise in her gaze.
So many of them were Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine that had been extremely rare even when she was in the Immortal Realm!
"A thousand-year-old Heavenly Blood Lingzhi..."
"Ice Cicada Immortal Grass..."
"Drunken Immortal Flower..."
"Heavens, there's even a Seven-Colored Glazed Flower...!"
Luo Ruying walked up to a dazzling flower, her eyes full of delighted surprise.
Seven colors blended across the flower, its petals gleaming with a glazed luster. Vivid hues flowed over the petals like liquid, incomparably gorgeous.
The Seven-Colored Glazed Flower had the effect of cleansing the meridians, remolding the marrow, and laying one's foundation. After taking it, not only would future cultivation advance a thousand li in a single day, the vast majority of bottlenecks would also become as easy to break through as if they were nothing but empty air!
Even in the Immortal Realm, countless immortal sects would search for a Seven-Colored Glazed Flower for their descendants!
Yet here, there was a whole, perfectly intact one!
Luo Ruying looked at the dazed, adorable, and obedient Luo Hongye in her arms. She wanted to reach out and pick that Seven-Colored Glazed Flower, but stopped herself.
Although she very much wanted to give it to Luo Hongye, she could not do that.
This might be a precious immortal herb that that senior had deliberately planted. If she took it away, she would offend that senior...
Yet in the very instant Luo Ruying hesitated, Ning Yechen had already stepped forward and reached out to pluck that Seven-Colored Glazed Flower.
He held the Seven-Colored Glazed Flower out in front of Luo Ruying.
"Wife, it's for you."
"You, you... how could you pick this flower...!"
Luo Ruying instantly paled in fright.
This was a Seven-Colored Glazed Flower! Once plucked, it could not survive for three days. After three days, it would wither and dissipate!
Even if the roots remained, who knew how long it would take to grow into a Seven-Colored Glazed Flower again!
It was over, it was over...
This time, it was over...
Compared with Luo Ruying's anxiety and terror, Ning Yechen wore a smile, calm and composed.
"Wife, didn't you want this flower?"
"I, I did want it... but..."
For a moment, Luo Ruying did not know what to say to Ning Yechen.
He was only a mere mortal and did not know the value of this flower, so it was understandable.
Besides, the other party had picked this flower for her sake...
If anyone was to blame, she could only blame herself for not noticing in time.
"Since Wife likes it, that's enough."
Ning Yechen once again held the Seven-Colored Glazed Flower out in front of Luo Ruying.
Compared with his wife's happiness and his child's future, he did not care about a mere Seven-Colored Glazed Flower.
Luo Ruying sighed softly, took the Seven-Colored Glazed Flower, and fed it into Luo Hongye's mouth.
Things had already come to this. Since the Seven-Colored Glazed Flower had already been plucked, there was no undoing it.
Even if they did not take it, it would only be wasted for nothing.
If that senior came looking, she would think of a way to use some immortal treasures to apologize...
After Luo Hongye ate the Seven-Colored Glazed Flower, dazzling seven-colored light surfaced all over her body and flowed across her. A moment later, it gradually dissipated, and the skin of her body became smooth and flawless, like ice flesh and jade skin!
This was only the initial medicinal effect. Later, the medicinal effect would slowly work its divine wonders throughout the meridians and root bones of her entire body!
After finishing it, Luo Hongye even stuck out her tongue, pouted, and said to Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen with a pitiful, aggrieved expression:
"Father, Mother, this doesn't taste good..."
Luo Ruying was left caught between laughter and tears by Luo Hongye's words.
One had to know, this was a Seven-Colored Glazed Flower that countless people in the Immortal Realm yearned for but could not obtain...
And this child was even complaining that it did not taste good...
