It was called Medicine Valley, but it was actually a boundless and vast region. The surrounding borders of this region were extremely irregular, and bursts of bizarre auras surfaced upon it. Upon closer inspection, these were clearly remnants of magical beasts, and a towering, massive mountain range even emerged atop this region.
