Shen Yanxiao was standing in the courtyard without getting any instructions. She played the role of an
ignorant little devil girl perfectly as she dumbly stood in place, motionless.
Moments later, Qing Jun came out of the room with slightly wrinkled brows and looked at Shen Yanxiao,
who was standing still outside.
“What are you doing there?” Qing Jun’s voice was a bit cold.
“I don’t know what to do.” Shen Yanxiao shrank her neck and looked very afraid.
Qing Jun’s frown deepened. He looked at Shen Yanxiao and said after a moment of silence, “Follow me.”
After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for her to respond.
This guy has a rather awkward personality. Shen Yanxiao thought as she immediately followed.
This courtyard was very large. Passing through the front pavilion, Qing Jun took Shen Yanxiao to an herb
garden.
The underworld’s environment was not suitable for growing herbs, but Shen Yanxiao noticed that around
this make-shift herb garden, there were some incense burners; a faint fragrance overowed from those
burners, which dispelled the devil energy in the air.
“Water these three times a day, not too much. Go there at night and clean up the room. The rest is not for
you to take care of.” Qing Jun simply stated. His frowning brows did not relax a bit and he had always kept
a certain distance from Shen Yanxiao. As the devil soldier said, he had a strong addiction to cleanliness.
Shen Yanxiao answered submissively and shifted her gaze to the room that Qing Jun pointed to.
“There are rooms on the second oor of the front courtyard. You can nd a room for yourself. Don’t
bother me if there’s nothing important.” With that, Qing Jun entered the room where Shen Yanxiao had
been ordered to clean. He did not give Shen Yanxiao any chance to speak and closed the door directly.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the large herb garden and rubbed the tip of her nose.
She was very familiar with taking care of herbs. As a pharmacist, she was very clear about the
characteristics of herbs. This matter was a piece of cake for her.
Qing Jun was still busy. Shen Yanxiao did not know whether he was hiding in the house to observe her,
the maid who had just been sent to him, or whether he might be ddling with some things in the room.
To be on the safe side, Shen Yanxiao did not do anything special. She just sat on the edge of the herb
garden and observed the herbs.
This observation, however, brought Shen Yanxiao a surprise. These herbs had very special properties. Half
of them were highly toxic herbs and were extremely rare. Many of those here, Shen Yanxiao had only
seen in books. Besides some poisonous herbs, there were also some herbs that were very precious, and
the use of those herbs were very disparate.
This herb garden could be said to be very precious. Even Lord Shen Yanxiao, who sat above the Barren
Land, had not seen many of these herbs with her own eyes.
“Soul rening herb!” Shen Yanxiao suddenly discovered a very conspicuous small herb in the middle of
the herb garden.
Ye Qing once told Shen Yanxiao that the soul rening herb was the most precious herb in the whole
world. For thousands of years, only one plant had been found in the entire Radiance Continent. This herb
would wither when it fell to the ground and could not be carried at all. As long as it was picked up, it
would become dry and shrivelled in less than half a day. However, the ecacy of this herb was extremely
strong. Even if it were not rened, it could have the eect of reviving the dead, even when just swallowed
directly. Even someone who was giving their last breath could be saved by it.
Because the soul rening herb was very rare, the records about it were also very rare.
