Chapter 183: Dragon Gash

Come to think of it, Lin Manzhi remembers this herb so clearly because there is a real‑world Chinese medicinal herb with that taste.

In the original work, Fang Yue Dan went to the Mountain Classic Beast Temple, and using a special decoction technique, quickly became the Great Witch's destined successor, the second most prestigious Holy Witch Female of the Mountain Classic Beast Temple.

At that time, she and the lord of Leitingcheng's Luo Lai Caravan first cooperated because of the medicines they brewed, then the two had many interactions and began to develop mutual affection.

Several Beast Husbands around Fang Yue Dan wanted to win over the handsome lord, but they did not want to speak up themselves, so they planned to cater to his preferences.

Cangqiong, a noble lord of a continent, is powerful and handsome, and nothing else can pique his interest; it was the decoction she made that is useful for Supernatural Male Beast Spirit Cores and a medicinal juice never seen in the Beastfolk world that caught his attention.

To get closer to Cangqiong, Fang Yue Dan searched the library of the Mountain Classic Beast Temple and found the lost formula and refining method for the legendary Soul Cocoon Divine Pill.

The Spirit Core is the source of a Supernatural Male Beast's power; even the most powerful beasts suffer pain and illness from the Spirit Core, and many never reach the final two days of senescence, dying because of various issues of the Spirit Core.

Soul Cocoon Divine Pill! It is the legendary divine medicine of the Beast continent.

It can be called a universal remedy for the Spirit Core; it can even heal a fractured Spirit Core, let alone frenzy, power depletion, energy dispersion, and other minor issues.

Fang Yue Dan found this formula; the thousand‑year Sky God Fruit, there are still a few in the Sea Clan, and the most rare is Concentrated Spirit Dew.

Comparing with the above description, she surprisingly discovered that she luckily possesses Concentrated Spirit Dew over a thousand years old.

She was overjoyed; she sent a Shamaness attendant to arrange a meeting with the Sea Clan regarding the Sky God Fruit, but she couldn't contain herself and immediately applied to the Great Witch for four portions of Dragon Gash.

It is also when Fang Yue Dan obtained the Dragon Gash that a detailed introduction to the Dragon Gash appeared.

Lin Manzhi remembers it so clearly because this herb called Dragon Gash,

is actually the birth membrane of a Supernatural Male Beast, refined by a Shamaness to contain the essence of its supernatural energy.

At that moment Lin Manzhi thought to herself that this Dragon Gash is practically the same as the herb purple river cart.

Newborn Supernatural Male Beast cubs are born in Beast Form; their Beast Form genes are fully inherited from the father, so if the father is a Supernatural Male Beast, the newborn is as well, only the strength of the supernatural ability and the size of the Beast Form vary.

The birth membrane of the cub contains a pure primordial energy, as if bearing a unique law of new life in heaven and earth, with extremely strong regenerative effects.

Only the birth membrane of a Supernatural Male Beast is called Dragon Gash; ordinary beasts' birth membranes do not count, and Supernatural Male Beasts are already scarce on the continent, so Dragon Gash is naturally precious.

When noble females give birth, the Great Witch of the Wushen Temple assists; the placenta of a Supernatural Male Beast at birth is also collected by the Mountain Classic Beast Temple as a valuable medicinal treasure.

Lin Manzhi told Mo Lie the news about the Dragon Gash.

She thought for a moment and said, "Given our partnership with Su Li, she now sits at the power center of the Mountain Classic Beast Temple; asking her for four portions of Dragon Gash should be doable, right? Dragon Gash is rare, but over the years the Mountain Classic Beast Temple has at least a hundred left after what's been used."

Mo Lie: "Su Li will agree to the exchange."

He lowered his gaze; a dark glint flashed in his azure eyes: "Su Li is now at the Mountain Classic Beast Temple; she's going to contest the Great Witch's position. I have terminated our Lettuce cooperation; Lettuce is her only bargaining chip. She won't stay still; she'll come looking for us."

That Cangqiong, from the Wushen Temple in Kuangsha City, followed Hua Zheng to Lin Manzhi, which caused her to be kidnapped.

His previous method was to obtain Dragon Gash by more gentle means, but unfortunately, despite your kindness to others, most of the time it brings unforeseen severe damage.

Negotiating trades with people is too troublesome; it's more effective to make them fearful so they obey.

Mo Lie's eyes were dark.

The betrayal of the Wushen Temple in Kuangsha City almost made her disappear from his side; for that, the Wushen Temple must pay a price to appease his wrath.

If Su Li refuses, then she doesn't need to live to return.

Mo Lie's expression was calm; after hearing the whereabouts of the Dragon Gash from the Little Female, he had already thought of the most direct method—how to seize the Dragon Gash from the Mountain Classic Beast Temple.

Lin Manzhi looked at Mo Lie with some surprise, then she was a bit delighted, "I was still wondering whether we should go find Su Li, or you have a way!"

She gave a light laugh and said, "Hmm, then you can keep an eye on me; Cangqiong has already discovered that the Holy Maiden Fruit and Lettuce are both grown by me, and he certainly won't give up so easily."

Mo Lie nonchalantly nodded, "From now on I won't let you leave my side again; if he comes back, I'll have him buried in the desert."

Mo Lie lowered his gaze at Lin Manzhi, and all the gloomy negativity was replaced by joy, as if just seeing her made the whole world bright, including the shadows in his heart.

He showed no sign on his face, and with a natural motion reached out to pull Lin Manzhi into his arms, lowered his head to kiss the Little Female's crown, and softly asked, "After walking for so long, are you tired?"

Lin Manzhi relaxed against his embrace, shook her head, "Not tired."

She looked at the whole planting field, where a small patch of soil for the cherry tomatoes was empty; such a conspicuous gap marred the appearance of the entire planting greenhouse.

Her Spiritual Field did have mature cherry tomato seedlings; after the two had shared such intimate moments, they were truly a married pair, and now with only Mo Lie by her side, she could take them out at any time.

"We'll replant the missing seedlings here," Lin Manzhi began to lift her cloak.

She removed the sand scarf from her head, stepped out of Mo Lie's embrace, squatted between the two raised beds, and as she placed her hands on the ground, a dozen cherry tomatoes with fruit and roots appeared.

Mo Lie's lips curled slightly upward as he stepped forward, lifted a bunch of cherry tomato seedlings toward the empty spot, his voice low and gentle: "Leave these to me to plant; you just stand by and watch."

"Mm-hmm." Lin Manzhi thought for a moment, then followed Mo Lie step by step, saying, "I'll help hold the seedlings for you, so you can cover them with soil."

Mo Lie curved his lips, "Alright."

……

Lin Manzhi soaked in the Planting Base for two days before she completed planting all the greenhouses of the Planting Base.

Among the twenty‑five planting greenhouses, aside from #1 and #2—one being the original planting and the other used for breeding seedlings—

the other twenty‑three greenhouses: one grew watermelons, another grew cherry radishes, and the remaining twenty‑one all cultivated cherry tomatoes.

Just after finishing planting the soil, Lin Manzhi and Mo Lie, regarding Su Li whom they had previously discussed, were surprised that she arrived sooner than expected and brought an unexpected piece of news.
