"Hm? You do have a point. Let me take a closer look..."
After Xiao Yan's "reminder," Apothecary also noticed something strange about the place.
After all, the skeleton in the center of the stone chamber proved that these "ruins" had been around for quite some time.
Presumably, nobody would deliberately go to all the trouble of carving out this cave and arranging everything, even leaving behind a corpse and plenty of medicinal herbs.
Only to dust off their backside and leave.
What would they get out of that?

Apothecary "examined" the flower bed with his soul power, while Xiao Yi Xian enthusiastically dug up the soil beside it.
Xiao Yan went over and handed her a Storage Ring to make storing the medicinal herbs easier, then began examining the three Stone Boxes.
