Primordial: I Was Exposed After Hiding for Eons

Shen Nong Clan bragged to the others.

As he led them forward.

Ahead of them

was something even shorter.

These plants just happened to look especially pretty.

A pale green stem

about the length of a finger.

Yet it had symmetrical green leaves.

The leaves were also flecked with a little brown.

They looked quite lovely.

Some of the leaves were old, others new; some were big, others small.

The older leaves had turned brown.

The newer leaves were pure green.

They looked almost translucent.

As everyone entered this area,

the Human Race Leaders caught a faint, sweet fragrance.

The scent even seemed to have a cool quality to it.

When they caught a whiff,

the Human Race Leaders were all startled.

Looking at such tiny plants, they couldn't hide their amazement.

They never would have guessed that something so small could have such a scent.

This cool, refreshing fragrance really was pleasant.

Could it be—

that these tiny plants were also medicinal herbs?

Could they have hidden miraculous effects too?

Were they Spiritual Roots as well?

Everyone immediately turned their gaze toward Shen Nong Clan.

They waited for him to explain.

Shen Nong Clan chuckled.

Boundless pride showed in his eyes.

Only after he had finished showing off

did he slowly speak.

"This thing is called mint."

"This is another miraculous medicinal herb."

"It's also a miraculous Spiritual Root. Though it didn't make the Spiritual Root Ranking, it's clearly a miraculous Spiritual Root all the same."

"This plant has miraculous effects too."

"The animal hides Sage Mother Sanqi bestowed upon us say: 'Mint enters the liver and lung meridians, disperses wind-heat, clears the head and eyes, and benefits the throat.'"

"Heh heh."

At that, Shen Nong Clan stopped speaking.

The other Human Race Leaders couldn't help rolling their eyes.
