Seeing Yi Yun's exaggerated reaction, the Woman surnamed Wang snorted, "Is it strange that there are records? Although herb gathering may not have much of a future, the Divine City does recognize and reward those who dedicate themselves to their work and work diligently. In the Divine City, everything that can be quantified is recorded, including blacksmithing! As for the herb gathering record you have, it's from two or three thousand years ago. The person who broke the record received ten thousand Dragon Scale Rune and a Glory Points."

Ten thousand Dragon Scale Rune?

And Glory Points!

Yi Yun's eyes lit up. Ten thousand Dragon Scale Rune were enough for him to cultivate in the Desolate God Hall for ten hours!

In addition, there are Glory Points, which are even more remarkable. In Tai'a Divine City, some very precious items can only be obtained by exchanging Glory Points.

Throughout the entire Tai'a Divine City, over 95% of the trial participants, from their arrival in Tai'a Divine City to the completion of the trial, a total of six years, did not even earn a single Glory Points!

This shows just how difficult it is to earn Glory Points!

For ordinary warriors in the Divine City, Glory Points are something that is both desirable and unattainable.

This record is amazing because of the high level of treatment; even a small, insignificant record is extraordinary!

Yi Yun excitedly twirled the pages with his thumb and forefinger, turning them one by one. The herbs produced in the Medicine Mountain of Tai'a Divine City also had clear grade classifications.

The most commonly used grades for medicinal materials are Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

The medicinal herbs that can usually be found are of the Xuan or Huang grade. The Dragon Scale Rune corresponding to them are relatively rare.

Once you reach the Earth-grade level, that's already quite remarkable. A single Earth-grade medicinal herb can be exchanged for a considerable amount of Dragon Scale Rune.

However, it is extremely difficult to find medicinal herbs at the prefecture level.

Moving up to the Heavenly Grade medicinal herbs, they become extremely rare. However, if you're lucky enough to obtain even one, the amount of Dragon Scale Rune you can exchange for it will be enormous!

Many years ago, Zhong Yi, who broke records in herb gathering, was able to harvest more than 19,000 Dragon Scale Rune in two months, precisely because he had gathered several heavenly-grade medicinal herbs!

However... even Heavenly Grade medicinal herbs are not the best. Above that, there are Primordial Relic Medicine, Immortal Divine Medicine, Primordial Desolation Strain, and other divine medicines with different names.

The value of these medicines is even more outrageous!

However, this manual does not record anything about it...

Hmm? Why isn't there any record of rewards for the Primordial Relic Medicine? Is it because adventurers in Tai'a Divine City simply can't find it?

If we truly possess the Primordial Relic Medicine, how should the rewards be calculated?

Yi Yun thought for a moment and then asked the Woman surnamed Wang, "I would also like to ask if, if I break the record for herb gathering, I can have my name recorded on the Sage's Grand Path?"

Upon hearing Yi Yun's question, the Woman surnamed Wang became somewhat impatient again. She glanced at Yi Yun, as if to say, "What's it to you?"

She patiently explained, "Those who can leave their names on the Sage's Grand Path have all completed certain hard records, demonstrated their personal strength, and are people who have the potential to become sages in the future."

"As for the work of gathering herbs, it doesn't reflect personal ability. Even if you break a record, it has nothing to do with whether you become a sage in the future. It will only leave you on this exchange list."

"I see."

Whether or not his name could be inscribed on the Sage's Grand Path was not important to Yi Yun. What he cared about were the tangible benefits. "I also wanted to ask, is there a uniform rule for the time limit for recording herb gathering? Senior Zhong Yi's record is exactly sixty days, so is everyone's record also sixty days?"

Why are you asking so many questions? You don't actually want to break the record, do you?

The Woman surnamed Wang rolled her eyes at Yi Yun, and the girls around her chuckled.

Yi Yun scratched his head, looking like a harmless little brother next door, and said, "I was just asking, nothing more."

"The herb-gathering records are indeed based on two-month periods. As for breaking records, don't even dream about it; that record is thousands of years old. Are you done asking questions?"

"Uh... there's one last question..." Yi Yun said weakly.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say!" The Woman surnamed Wang was speechless. Why was this kid so long-winded?

"Um... it's like this, I wanted to ask if there's a special reward if I find Primordial Relic Medicine or Primordial Grade Treasure Medicine? I don't think it's mentioned in the booklet..."

When Yi Yun asked that question, the Woman surnamed Wang smashed the mirror in her hand.

She stared wide-eyed at Yi Yun in disbelief, as if trying to determine whether the boy in front of her had mental problems.

"What did you say?"

Not only the Woman surnamed Wang, but everyone in the servants' quarters looked at Yi Yun with strange expressions.

This kid actually asked him if there would be a special reward if he found an ancient-level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?

"Uh..." Yi Yun looked completely innocent. Was such a strong reaction really necessary...?

"Pfft!"

Several girls gathering herbs couldn't help but laugh, their voices as melodious as silver bells.

"Little brother, you really have a vivid imagination. Don't even mention how rare Primordial Relic Medicine are; the medicinal mountains of Tai'a Divine City might not even have them. The key is that those medicinal mountains are terrifyingly large. Finding a single divine herb is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Even if you have incredible luck and actually encounter a Primordial Relic Medicine, don't even think about picking it. These herbs are all sentient beings; they will hide! In fact, let alone Primordial Relic Medicine, even Heaven Tier herbs are not so easy to pick. They have all sorts of ways to protect themselves, so you can walk right past them without even realizing it!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Yi Yun looked at the herb-gathering girl with surprise. He used to gather only ordinary herbs from small tribes. This was the first time Yi Yun had ever heard of herbs becoming spirits.

"Of course! Little brother, you have too many questions. If you can really find good herbs, the rewards from the Divine City will definitely not be a loss for you, and may even be no less valuable than the herbs you hand in! The key is, can you even find them?"

"The Divine City has been very generous to us trial participants. In recent years, only scions of noble families have tried to sneak in some herbs they brought from home while gathering medicinal herbs, passing them off as their own harvest from the Divine Mountain, in order to exchange for rewards from the Divine City. I've never heard of anyone gathering herbs and then keeping them for themselves!"

"However... those herbs of Heaven-grade or higher have been impossible to find these days. We adventurers who come here to gather herbs don't have that skill. So, if the elders of the Divine City really need herbs of Heaven-grade or higher, they have to gather them themselves. But that's a time-consuming and laborious task, and the elders are unwilling to waste their time because even with a lot of effort, they might not find them. If someone could actually hand in such a herb, the elders would be very happy, and the reward they give would certainly be extremely generous. But... it's impossible to find it now!"

"Thank you, sister." The herb-gathering girl's words excited Yi Yun. It seemed that as long as he could gather good herbs, the rewards from the Divine City would be amazing!

Firstly, Tai'a Divine City is very generous to the trial participants and intends to cultivate talent. Secondly, it is also because the herbs in Tai'a Divine City's Medicine Mountain are all nurtured by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, rather than being intentionally planted by the people of Tai'a Divine City.

These medicinal herbs all belong to the wealth of Shenhuang, which is the common treasure of all martial artists in the world.

"This Primordial Relic Medicine is probably impossible to find... I might be able to find a herb that has become a spirit, but to capture it... that's difficult!!"

Yi Yun was also aware of his own strength; those Primordial Relic Medicine were definitely not so easy to obtain.

This sacred, desolate medicinal mountain is home to all sorts of treasures; whoever manages to collect them possesses true skill.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

The herb-gathering girl found Yi Yun amusing; he spoke in a silly, dazed way, as if he were missing a screw.

They're like newborn calves, fearless of tigers.

Some fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girls still like this kind of handsome boy who has a bit of a naive charm, because they find him cute.

"Uh... my name is Yi Yun."

Seeing the girl gathering herbs with the same look she had found a fun toy, Yi Yun was speechless. He was an adult, and a fifteen-year-old girl found him amusing; it was truly absurd and unsettling for Yi Yun.

"So it's little brother Yi Yun. Hmm, I'll remember you. My Zhao Qingcheng. You can call me Sister Qingcheng from now on."

Sister Qingcheng?

Yi Yun rolled her eyes. "No way I'd call you Sister Qingcheng."

Zhao Qingcheng seemed to sense that Yi Yun wasn't interested in her, so she deliberately drawled out, "Little brother Yi Yun, I'm from the Luo Huo Association!"

"Luo Huo Association? Uh?" Yi Yun was taken aback, feeling the name sounded familiar. He guessed that Zhao Qingcheng was using her background to prove her strength, probably some major sect...

"Is this the name of your sect?" Yi Yun asked casually, showing no interest whatsoever.

Zhao Qingcheng burst out laughing again, her laughter shaking her whole body. "Little brother, you're really adorable. In Tai'a Divine City, many adventurers form guilds. The purpose of these guilds is to allow members to help each other, share resources, and also conduct some transactions."

"The competition in Tai'a Divine City is extremely fierce. Forming a united front is always beneficial. Our Luo Huo Association is one of the largest guilds in Tai'a Divine City. The leader of the Luo Huo Association is Luo Huo'er, who is ranked number one on the Human Ranking. You've heard of her, right?"

It was Luo Huo'er!

Yi Yun naturally remembered Luo Huo'er. No wonder the name of the Luo Huo Association sounded familiar to him; Luo Huo'er had used her own name as the name of the society.

"This Tai'a Divine City is truly intricate and complex. The trial participants even form their own guilds..." Yi Yun thought to himself. But thinking about it, it made sense. People who could come to Tai'a Divine City were all quite capable. Forming guilds and deepening their relationships would be very beneficial for their future development.

Moreover, when united, they are powerful; the competitiveness of a gang is naturally unmatched by any individual.
