This time, I’ve truly hit the jackpot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen, gazing at this scene, was so excited he nearly jumped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode into the herb garden, his eyes sweeping over the medicinal herbs, muttering to himself nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… is five-thousand-year-old Dragon Blood Vine! Good heavens, the vines are nearly as thick as my arm! If used for body tempering, the effects are unimaginable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this—Purple Patterned Xuan Shen! Look at these patterns—it’s at least ten thousand years old! This is the main ingredient for crafting a supreme Qi-replenishing immortal elixir!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavens, that patch… is Star Sand? And there’s so much of it! This is the top-tier auxiliary material for crafting soul-based elixirs—long extinct in the outside world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Su Chen looked, the more astonished and exhilarated he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The variety and age of the medicinal herbs in this garden far exceeded his wildest imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of these herbs he had only ever seen in diagrams and records within Patriarch Bodhi’s scripture hall—he never imagined he’d see them in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Canglang Hermit must have been a mad alchemist in life; otherwise, he could never have gathered so many rare medicinal herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he died and his Dao was extinguished, this garden was left untended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, misfortune turned to fortune—these herbs grew freely for thousands of years without being harvested, reaching astonishing ages and potency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was nothing less than a mobile treasure vault!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen forced himself to suppress the urge to harvest immediately, walking slowly and carefully around the entire garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a corner of the garden, he discovered a spiritual spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spring’s source was small, no wider than a bowl, continuously bubbling forth milky-white water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water contained extremely pure spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the entire garden was irrigated by this single spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earth Vein Spiritual Spring!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen stared at the milky-white water and exclaimed again in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single drop of this could transform a mortal, granting them a new body and freedom from all illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For cultivators, it was the supreme treasure for refining the physical body and purifying magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And here, there was an entire spring source!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen felt his heart could barely withstand this cascade of surprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he immediately took out every jade bottle and jade gourd he owned from his storage magic artifact and began carefully collecting the spiritual liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He filled over a hundred jade bottles, yet the spring’s output showed no sign of diminishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen knew this spring was connected to a small underground spiritual vein—so long as the vein endured, the liquid would flow endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not drain it dry; after collecting enough for his own use, he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his gaze turned to the medicinal herbs he had long coveted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harvesting medicinal herbs was a skilled art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially these high-age herbs—their roots and stems were extremely fragile; a single misstep could damage their potency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Su Chen had learned many methods for handling medicinal herbs from the *Compendium of Alchemy*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out his axe, wrapped its blade in immortal energy, and carefully excavated each herb along with the surrounding soil, then transplanted them into a space magic artifact he carried on his person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This space artifact had limited room, but it could simulate the external environment, preserving the herbs’ vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He worked tirelessly for a full day and night, harvesting only about one-third of the herbs he recognized—those with the greatest age and highest value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the spiritually radiant treasures inside the space artifact, Su Chen grinned from ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these herbs, plus the *Compendium of Alchemy* and the Three-Transmutation Golden Core, his future cultivation path would be far smoother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least until he reached the Heavenly Immortal realm, he would never again worry about cultivation resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not empty the entire garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, his space artifact had limited capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he followed the principle of sustainable development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he might return to this cave in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished all this, Su Chen departed the herb garden contentedly and closed the stone door once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned to the main cavern, carefully wrapped the Canglang Hermit’s bones in a clean white cloth, and placed them in his storage magic artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, your gift is deeply remembered by this disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed again toward the empty stone platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before departing, he had one final task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to the cave entrance, formed hand seals, and channeled immortal energy to reconfigure the array at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set up the same “Minor Teleportation Illusion Array” as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after his improvements, even if left unattended, the array would remain functional for a thousand years without failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having completed all this, Su Chen finally felt at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that with this new array guarding it, unless a Jin Xian expert in arrays came personally, no one would ever discover this cave again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would become his first secret base in this Journey to the West world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cast one final glance at the cave he had unexpectedly found, then vanished without delay, reappearing atop the sheer cliff outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea breeze brushed his face; the sunlight was perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen took a deep breath, feeling refreshed and invigorated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unexpected windfall had once again greatly strengthened his foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was time to attend to real business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having settled all matters in Canglang Cave, Su Chen stood atop the cliff beside the Western Sea, his heart surging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unexpected opportunity had granted him immense gains—not only the lifelong treasures of an ancient Heavenly Immortal, but also a long, smoothed path for his future cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed across the vast, misty Western Sea, no longer hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rise!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen uttered a soft command, and beneath his feet, a cloud of cyan immortal energy formed, lifting his body slowly into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not the supreme technique of the Somersault Cloud, but the most basic cloud-riding art of immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After becoming a Human Immortal, he had naturally awakened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though slower than full-speed wind-riding or even the “Earth-Shortening” technique, it was stable and consumed minimal energy—perfect for long journeys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cyan cloud carried Su Chen like a streak of light, speeding eastward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1134,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","84b2b494d881b4c500d1e3539bf3308efadd93ddfc9d1f58c7c2ba229418353f","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-37","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-35",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
