The "spirit" of the Spirit Awakening Grass heard Nie Yun's words. Whether moved by his love or awed by Tantai Lingyue's greatness, it flew over, all its former defiance gone. It lay quietly in Nie Yun's palm, utterly docile.
"Thank you!"
Nie Yun was somewhat moved.
Now that the medicinal herb was in his hands, it meant it had been completely tamed. He could now revive Tantai Lingyue.
"I'll store you somewhere for now, then let you out when the time comes!"
Looking at the sentient medicinal herb before him, Nie Yun smiled faintly. With a thought, he placed it into the Storage World.
This herb was simply too powerful. If he brought it to the Slanting Moon Supreme Domain, panic would surely erupt everywhere it went. Better to put it away first.
With the herb in hand, Nie Yun did not linger. His body flashed, and he left the Small World.
When he appeared in the medicinal garden, he saw Palace Mistress Bi Yao and the others waiting outside. Seeing him emerge, all of them revealed delighted expressions.
"Thank you, Palace Mistress Bi Yao, for the gift of this herb!"
Nie Yun clasped his fists.
"Ruler, you are too courteous. If anyone should be giving thanks, it should be me. If not for you, I fear I would never have seen him again in this lifetime and could only have carried my regrets into the yellow earth!" Palace Mistress Bi Yao hurriedly said.
"Then let's not thank each other. I'll revive these medicinal herbs of yours now!"
The "culprit" behind the medicinal garden's withering had been placed in his Storage World and could no longer affect these herbs, making their treatment much simpler. With a point of his finger, rain filled with Wood Life Qi fell from the sky.
