These medicinal plants were all rare herbs. And it was an excellent medicinal herb that was extremely valuable. Only a fraction of it was very valuable, but in front of Zheng-Fu, they were in abundance, lined up all over the place.
But before Zheng-Fu could regain his consciousness, he turned to meet the legendary Heavenly Peach Tree, which was said to enable those who ingested it to perceive unimaginable heavenly energy. But those stories were just tales or legends because it was more than ten thousand years ago, or maybe longer, and no one had ever seen it once.
Zheng-Fu was not even sure if that was the Heavenly Peach fruit or not. Its exterior was exactly the same as the peach he had seen in the movie named 'Swap Monkey, Swap Man' in his previous world. Zheng-Fu thought it might be the Heavenly Peach fruit, and on that tree, there were only three fruits.
"It's the Emperor Peach Tree, and every ten thousand years, it only bears one fruit!" Suddenly, the elder's voice rang out as Zheng-Fu was staring at the nearby peach tree.
"Emperor Peach!? And how is it different from Heavenly Peach, Elder?" Zheng-Fu immediately asked upon hearing what the elder said, as he had never heard of Emperor Peach before.
"The Emperor Peach is one level lower than the Heavenly Peach. And there's also the God Level, which is higher than the Heavenly Level, but the peaches of these two levels are extremely rare. Even though this dimension is called the Heavenly Flora Dimension, there was not a single Heavenly Herb here.
The highest level of these medicinal herbs is the Emperor Level, including that peach tree," the elder explained with a sad look.
Because the Heavenly Herbs within this dimension were stolen tens of thousands of years ago. Only this Emperor Peach Tree was left at the Emperor Level; the rest were all at the lower level, and this made the elder feel sad.
"From what I've studied, the levels of medicinal plants can only range from a low level to a magical level. As for this Emperor level... I've never heard of it, let alone the Heaven and God levels," Zheng-Fu replied in shock, as he did not think there were any medicinal plants at these levels.
Previously, when Zheng-Fu saw the peach tree and thought it was the Heavenly Peach Tree, he thought it would be a magical level herb, which was the highest-level medicinal herb recorded in a textbook. But after hearing what the elder said, Zheng-Fu realized that there were still higher-level herbs in this world.
"That may be right for this small world. But in the main world, it still…"
"Wait!!!"
Huh...?
"What did you just say…? Small world... Main world... What do you mean?" Zheng-Fu immediately became suspicious when he heard the elder talk about the small world and the main world.
"I can't tell you about that because it's a forbidden rule. The only thing I can tell you is that there are countless other worlds, including many other strong people," replied the elder with a calm expression on his face and continued to water the plants.
"Alright, then can you tell me about the herb levels?" When Zheng-Fu knew that he probably could not get an answer from the elder, he changed the topic and asked about something that might be of benefit to him instead.
"Of course, I can. If it's about the herbs, I can tell you!" The old man stopped watering and turned to look at Zheng-Fu, gladly agreeing.
"Great!"
Then the elder began to tell Zheng-Fu the whole story of the herbs, from their levels to so many different kinds of herbs. There were many herbs that Zheng-Fu had never heard of before, and he began to memorize them all, although there were some that he had not seen.
But by listening to their brief appearance, Zheng-Fu could understand to some extent that those herbs were of the Emperor Level and above.
As for the low-level ones that existed within this Heavenly Flora Garden, there were a total of more than eighty to ninety thousand species in total.
The days had passed quickly. Zheng-Fu did not know how much time had passed outside. All that time, Zheng-Fu listened intently to the stories of the herbs that the elder told him. Not only had he gained the knowledge, but Zheng-Fu could also sense from his breath that his energy was increasing. And at that moment, the voice of his level within his body rang out.
Booooom!!!
Numerous waves of pure and warm golden energy radiated out from Zheng-Fu's body and spread around him immediately after the explosion within his body. The explosion this time was not because of being attacked or anything else, but because he had already advanced to another level by increasing knowledge.
"Level eight of the Immortal stage!"
Zheng-Fu spoke with great joy and excitement at his new energy level because his advancement at each level was much harder than the others. Being able to advance to the next level in such a short time naturally made him feel good.
At this moment, Zheng-Fu had great confidence if he had to face someone who was at the half-step of the Immortal Soul or elementary level of the Immortal Soul stage because of his special ability, which allowed him to be able to fight with people who were two levels above himself.
"Looks like your power level has increased," said the elder with a smile.
"Yes, sir, Master Elder. I just managed to advance to the next level. It was very difficult for me to advance in each level. No matter how much I used the Qi energy absorption stone or how much I fulfilled the energy, it was difficult to break through without a serious situation," Zheng-Fu replied with a sad expression on his face and a long sigh.
"Then you should try the Emperor Peach and see if it will help you," suddenly, the elder spoke up, pointing at the Emperor Peach Tree that only had three fruits.
Huh...?
"Will that be good? Didn't you just say that it was too dangerous?" Zheng-Fu immediately interjected as the elder had just said that it could be dangerous to eat it.
"What you said was not wrong. But it has to be a trial to know, right?" said the old man, grinning so widely that his decayed teeth could be seen.
"I guess I'd better not risk it; otherwise, I'll die first!" Zheng-Fu immediately refused. He thought that the elder had a weird expression on his face as if he was lying to him.
"Ha ha ha... It's up to you. In any case, my duty is finished. After I've told you everything, I can finally leave this place, back to my hometown, back to my people, my family, and my brothers and sisters!"
The elder said that with a slightly trembling voice of suffering and sorrow. But within his words, some messages did not sound very good, but Zheng-Fu could not tell how bad they were. However, one thing he could see was that the elder acted as if he wanted to find someone to inherit the throne from himself.
Time passed quickly, and now the time of the outside world had passed five days. The frontier city had already been recaptured two days ago. But even after being recaptured, the city suffered quite a bit of damage, as well as the treasures inside the city lord's mansion that had been removed earlier before Guan-Yang-Sen and his army arrived.
Having successfully recaptured the city, they began to repair the city. Half of the five million armies had been sent back, and the other half remained to keep an eye on the situation. And with the war being ended without anyone in the army dying, Blueland felt happy all over the place.
Especially the king and the nobles, who were in the capital waiting to hear the news of the battle with excitement all the time. Many noblemen thought they would lose this battle and were preparing to leave the kingdom, but after hearing the news of the victory, they immediately brazenly rushed back to the meeting.
As for the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom, they did not do anything at the moment, just sent a martial master to protect the frontier city. Only with a large number of spies sent out to find out who their army had been crushed by. At the same time, they would also search for the strongest people throughout the kingdom.
Not only the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom, but other kingdoms also sent people to Blueland to find out the truth about it. Their main target was In-See City, home to the newly formed Beyond Earth Sect, which was becoming famous during this period.
Ten days had passed within the Heavenly Flora Dimension...
Now, fifteen days had passed in the outside world, but Zheng-Fu was still within the dimension and listening to the stories about the medicinal herbs within this space until he could understand the properties of each herb and remember all the names and areas where they were planted and grown.
Such lightning-fast learning left the elder extremely shocked. Even he himself would have taken years to learn and remember all ninety thousand species. But for Zheng-Fu, who already had more than half of his knowledge before coming here, learning the other half was not that difficult.
"Ahem! Alright, now that you've learned everything from me, it's time for me to leave here. My quest is over, and you... you'll have to continue to do this honorable duty as my doppelganger for the next tens of thousands of years!" As the elder finished speaking, an evil smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth before he moved his hand back and forth in a strange gesture.
"Huh!? What did you just say?" Zheng-Fu immediately became startled when he heard the word doppelganger and had to stay in this place for tens of thousands of years. He did not have that much free time.
"You didn't hear that wrong, kid. From now on, you'll be the guardian of this dimension instead of me. As for me, I'll go outside and live a happy life with the amount of Heavenly and Emperor Level medicinal plants that I've accumulated. Ha ha ha!!!" the elder finally spoke the truth. It was the truth he had been hiding for days to lure Zheng-Fu into a trap.
"Why are you doing this to me…? I trusted you, but you deceived me!" said Zheng-Fu, with a look of fury till his ears almost blew out.
"Ha ha ha, this world is full of cruelty, kid. Don't blame me, for I was treated the same way as you before," the old man continued to smile joyfully at the thought of leaving this place.
"You!!!"
"But you don't have to worry. As long as you can find a doppelganger, you'll be free from this place. But I'll tell you that every hundred years, this dimension will constantly move places, and it is unpredictable where it'll go, so your chances of meeting your doppelganger will be... very small."
Hearing that, Zheng-Fu's body trembled even harder. However, his body was unable to do anything except obediently stand still, like a dog waiting to listen to the order from its master.
