My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Chapter 95 A Spiritual Spring Surrounds the Garden, Fragrant with Spiritual Herbs

"This……"

Master Lu understood, but he sensed that this matter was not so simple.

After pondering for a moment, he cautiously said, "This matter requires my further consideration."

After he finished speaking, his gaze involuntarily fell on the pile of books. Although each book was not thick, there were about thirty or forty books in total, which was quite a lot.

Chu Lengyu nodded slightly and said, "This matter is not urgent. Let me lead you all to another place first, and then I will explain in detail."

After speaking, the sword light gently enveloped everyone.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery blurred.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a secluded place in the back mountains.

Here, ancient trees reach for the sky, their intertwined branches casting dappled light and shadow, creating a tranquil atmosphere as if time itself has frozen.

The air was filled with the unique aroma of herbs, fresh yet slightly bitter.

A crystal-clear stream meanders through the mountains and forests, bypassing boulders and brushing against fine sand, its murmuring waters adding a touch of vibrancy to the tranquil woods.

Master Lu was surprised to feel the change in the environment; it seemed that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was more abundant and active.

He looked up and saw a newly cleared flat area in the forest, which was very conspicuous.

Chu Lengyu slowly said, "As you can see, I am cultivating spiritual herbs myself. However, this matter is complicated and complex. Although I have started, I still feel that my experience is still limited and many questions need to be resolved. I also need the guidance and assistance of alchemists."

In the clearings of the woods, the soil had been carefully tilled, and various kinds of medicinal herbs had been planted between the ridges. Some had just sprouted; others had already grown several emerald green leaves, upright and resilient; and still others were clearly mature, even far exceeding their normal size.

Upon closer inspection, these herbs are of many different kinds.

While most are common varieties, there are also many precious ones, such as ginseng and lingzhi, which emit a faint herbal aroma. There are also some rarer herbs whose growing conditions are extremely demanding, yet they have miraculously taken root and sprouted in this open space, without affecting each other.

In the center of the land, a clear spring flows quietly, its water so clear that it seems to wash away all the dust of the world, like a bright pearl in the forest.

Numerous irrigation canals have been laid out around the area, through which clear spring water slowly flows into the fields, exuding a unique charm.

Clearly, this spring water is extraordinary.

Master Lu gazed at this scene, and his mind suddenly became clear.

The herb that Green Bamboo held earlier originated from this very land. Nourished by the spring water, the herbs here not only grow rapidly but also contain the essence and spirit of heaven and earth.

Luyun stood to the side, secretly glancing at Chu Lengyu before quickly looking away.

This vacant lot was originally cleared out by her during her winter leisure time, under the direction of Huang Yi and others, with the intention of planting some seasonal vegetables after the spring.

However, plans don't always go as expected. The young lady took a liking to this place and decided to requisition it to cultivate more precious medicinal herbs. Although Green Bamboo felt a little reluctant, seeing how dedicated the young lady was, she secretly resolved to work even harder to assist her.

Rather than planting some dispensable vegetables, cultivating medicinal herbs to benefit the world was more appealing to Lü Yun.

Master Lu stepped forward, drank some spring water, and then turned over the soil to examine it. He then made up his mind.

He turned to Chu Lengyu and said, "This place is indeed an excellent place to grow medicinal herbs, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges here. However, even if we grow them this way, it will only make the medicinal power contained in the herbs more abundant. It is still far from what Miss Chu is thinking..."

Master Lu believed that the forces behind Chu Lengyu were probably intentionally cultivating special spiritual herbs, which was why they deliberately sent Lin Li to contact him.

But if this were really so easy to do, Yu Ding Ge would have done it long ago.

"It is precisely because I know that this matter is not easy that I want to ask the alchemist for help," Chu Lengyu said truthfully.

If even she can't cultivate spiritual herbs, then probably almost no one can, and we can forget about refining pills on our own in the future.

As for this spiritual spring, it is the portable spiritual spring that the system rewarded her with before, which she can carry with her to restore her spiritual power.

However, after some research, Chu Lengyu found that it was more convenient and better utilized the water from the spiritual spring.

The spiritual stone in her hand contained spiritual power that was too condensed for ordinary people to use.

However, the water of this spiritual spring contains extremely gentle spiritual energy, making it drinkable for everyone. Moreover, the spring flows continuously and can be used freely.

It could be considered the most practical item she possessed besides the Lone Sword.

Therefore, after obtaining the alchemy inheritance, Chu Lengyu had the idea of ​​cultivating spiritual herbs herself.

However, she lacks the seeds of spiritual herbs and can only rely on an environment rich in spiritual energy to stimulate the rapid growth and mutation of ordinary herbs, thus rapidly iterating and perhaps obtaining new spiritual plants, or even other unexpected surprises. (This is a fictional story, so please don't take it too seriously.)

In the past two days, she has crafted several bamboo bells, and the material for these bells comes from a young bamboo she watered with spiritual spring water. The bamboo was initially just an ordinary bamboo, but under the nourishment of the spiritual spring, it gradually developed a spiritual charm. Although its grade is still shallow, it has already begun to possess its own characteristics, and Chu Lengyu plans to continue cultivating it.

However, the principles of pharmacology are vast and profound.

She was unfamiliar with this method, and cultivating a spirit bamboo was merely an accident; she couldn't apply this experience to cultivating spiritual herbs.

She didn't intend to invest a lot of energy and time in researching and promoting this potentially fruitless endeavor on her own, which is why she needed to recruit people like Master Lu Dan to assist her.

At this moment, Master Lu hesitated.

If he could truly cultivate the elixir himself, it would be a tremendous achievement for him, an irresistible temptation.

But Chu Lengyu…

He remained silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered his original purpose for coming, and couldn't help but chuckle. How could he have been so easily captivated by Chu Lengyu's words, forgetting his original intention?

Master Lu quickly composed himself, setting aside his thoughts of cultivating spiritual herbs and replicating pill formulas for the time being. He then turned to Chu Lengyu with a serious expression and asked, "I have come here today for another important matter. I have heard that the Lin family head's chronic illness was cured by Miss Chu. Is this true?"

Chu Lengyu nodded and said frankly, "I have a pill called Shennong Hundred Herbs Pill, which can cure all diseases."

Master Lu naturally knew about this medicine, and he was very interested in it, but he didn't know that it could also cure tuberculosis.

"I have another question. Where did Miss Chu obtain this pill? Did she acquire it during her travels, or was it a gift from her elders?" His tone was filled with urgency and curiosity.

"I obtained it by chance, and I don't have much left now." At this point, she changed the subject, "However, the prescription for Shennong's Herbal Pill is also in this alchemy inheritance."

"Really?!" Upon hearing this, Master Lu's excitement was palpable.

Those books that he used to look down on suddenly became incredibly valuable to him.

"There's no need for the alchemist to be so agitated," Chu Lengyu reassured him, urging him to calm down. "The Shennong Hundred Herbs Pill is also an ancient elixir. Therefore, the medicinal materials used to refine it can no longer be found in this world. However, I look forward to seeing if the alchemist can replicate it using modern medicine."

Master Lu nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with joy. For him, the failure of the formula didn't matter; what he wanted to learn was the underlying principles and the refining techniques.

However, in Chu Lengyu's eyes, she had no confidence that Alchemist Lu could gain anything from it. The reason she mentioned the pill formula was merely to pique his interest. After all, the formula for Shennong Hundred Herbs Pill was already the most precious formula in this low-level alchemy inheritance, and its refining difficulty was extremely high.

She planned to have Master Lu start with the basics, refining pills that were not of high grade, such as Blood Qi Pills and Old Ginseng Pills, to hone his skills before gradually improving. This was the best approach.

Moreover, Master Lu's spiritual power is extremely weak, making him unable to control the Azure Wood Fire and the alchemy furnace. He can only continue to use mortal objects, which will greatly reduce his alchemy efficiency. Chu Lengyu does not intend to tell him these things for the time being, so as not to damage his confidence.

If Master Lu is able to demonstrate his value in the future, Chu Lengyu will naturally find a way to help him improve his cultivation and even prolong his life. She also hopes to have a few capable assistants under her to handle trivial matters.

Because she didn't believe she would continue to live like this in the mortal world.

Even when she reigns high above the clouds, someone still needs to care about the suffering of the mortal world.

Chu Lengyu is not a saint. But since she has such ability, it wouldn't hurt to lend a helping hand and give ordinary people a chance.

The question is whether they will be able to seize this opportunity.

We'll have to wait and see.
