Chapter 431: West Wind Mirror

~7 min read 1,231 words

This time they met, he found the prince had changed, his gaze now carried a burden, no longer as before; he wanted a head, he wanted a life.

Upon seeing such a princess consort, he seemed to understand the prince's burden.

Pretty good.

The hope for the prince to survive increased a bit.

The young general was not just a title; he had fought his way out of the battlefield with real swords and blades, step by step, crawling out of piles of corpses; the prince's body bore countless sword and blade wounds.

Everyone only saw his fame, forgetting his age and the effort he had put in.

Jiang Yunchu left, not even returning to the inn, but went straight to the outskirts of West Wind Mirror, watching rows of patrollers, she directly climbed a tree……

Yes, climb……

Even if she wanted to jump, she couldn't; she currently had no inner strength, so she couldn't jump up.

The patrollers over there saw it, the corners of their mouths twitching repeatedly; strange things happen every year, this year especially many, how could there still be a person like a monkey?

What is this for?

No matter how tall that tree, it's still not as high as West Wind Mirror's city wall; he also couldn't see inside.

Just as the sky began to lighten slightly, Jiang Yunchu took out that special letter from her bosom, then jumped down from the tree and walked to the gate of West Wind Mirror.

"I want to go in."

Without waiting for the patroller to speak, she directly handed over that special letter; the special seal, the special material, was not something stamped on, but rather similar to a pressing force, not a genuine seal, something that could not actually be accomplished.

That patroller examined it up and down several times, then looked at Jiang Yunchu, who showed no trace of inner strength, causing him to frown.

"Where did you get it?" West Wind Mirror, no one has entered for half a year.

West Wind Mirror is actually a medicinal garden; Xi Ge's mother was a medicinal maiden who liked to compound and plant medicines, having cultivated this garden since childhood, naming it West Wind Mirror.

Later, when Xi Ge came of age, the King of Xijiang asked what he wanted; he unhesitatingly chose West Wind City, precisely to have the place where his mother had lived.

Since he obtained West Wind City, the number of people allowed into West Wind Mirror could be counted on one's fingers; unexpectedly, today a youth came.

"Where did you get it?" Jiang Yunchu raised her eyebrows, "How come? When did West Wind Mirror start requiring inquiry into the origin of letters?"

The special letter of West Wind Mirror can be bought at a high price, but it only allows one day inside West Wind Mirror; what herbs one can find depends on fate.

Even the Grand Witch stationed in the royal capital is coveting West Wind Mirror.

Over the years, the Grand Witch's alliance with the Third Prince is due to one seeking the throne and the other seeking West Wind Mirror—a binding of interests.

"Yes!" That person choked a little, anger flashing on his face, but it soon subsided; looking at Jiang Yunchu's eyes, however, it was no longer so benevolent.

Heh——

How many benevolent people are there?

"Can we go in now?" she looked at that person.

That person sized up Jiang Yunchu, seeing nothing could be hidden on her, so he didn't search her, directly pushing open the gate of West Wind Mirror; as the gate opened, a floral scent wafted out, making one feel refreshed and delighted.

"You may only pick one herb, the time limit is one day; think it over before picking, otherwise you won't be able to take anything out." The leader chuckled hehe.

Jiang Yunchu walked straight in, then waved her hand, "Got it."

Just as she entered, the great gate of West Wind Mirror closed behind her; seeing medicinal herbs everywhere in the courtyard, her eyes brightened.

West Wind Mirror, truly a wonderful place.

Along the way, for each kind of medicinal herb, she carefully plucked it, then saved its seeds, carefully preserving the seedlings.

"Serrated Toxic Pearl." Her eyes lit up, but she did not linger.

This time, her main goal was first to obtain the medicinal herb for treating General Jiang; after gathering the herbs, she would have ample time to explore West Wind Mirror.

According to the travelogue's records, she passed through one courtyard after another; these medicinal herbs were in each courtyard, and there were also vast medicinal fields.

"Heaven Star Grass."

Jiang Yunchu muttered the name while searching, knowing West Wind Mirror was large, but she hadn't expected it to be this vast; she had already walked through over thirty courtyards, yet those rows of stone gates seemed endless.

At that moment, her dantian seemed to twitch; dantian? twitching?

She sat cross-legged; energy from all directions continuously nourished her meridians, the meridians that had shattered from overexertion were now being repaired bit by bit, continually expanding; that energy, as if having found a pleasure ground, kept surging in through her pores.

Jiang Yunchu was flushed red by this energy, mainly because there was too much; she exerted herself to drive the meridians' ability, continuously turning……

One cycle…… two cycles……

As those energies were continually refined, suddenly her mind was a blank brightness; the whole West Wind Mirror seemed imprinted in her mind.

She could even feel the flowers singing, the grass clapping, each butterfly dancing to the song and applause.

At that moment, a cluster of bright light caused a pain in her mind.

"What is it?"

Jiang Yunchu found the location of Heaven Star Grass; that thing was right beside it, very tiny, just sprouting from the soil, a small tender sprout.

She wouldn't feel mistaken; just now, that little fellow had been attacking her head.

She didn't know what this condition was; it seemed not traditional inner strength, but a green energy within her body continually nourishing her.

When exercising lightness skill, any sense of obstruction or burden—could it be due to that recent energy?

Jiang Yunchu was greatly astonished; her body hurried toward the location of Heaven Star Grass; with one day's time, she had originally intended to leave seeds for every herb, but now it seemed completely impossible—there were too many herbs here, countless.

"Heaven Star Grass, found." Seeing the bluish-green leaves, each tip bearing a silver star, that is Heaven Star Grass.

Jiang Yunchu picked up a tool, quickly located the largest Heaven Star Grass, and stored it in her space.

Her space is not large; since the children grew up, her points have gradually stalled, she keeps her points, exchanging them for emergency supplies in life-or-death situations.

Similar to the previous all-purpose glue…… one all-purpose glue actually costs five hundred points……

"Huh."

Jiang Yunchu dug up another Heaven Star Grass, then stood up, simultaneously seeing that small green sprout.

"Little fellow, do you want to come with me?" She didn't know what it was, but the earlier attack was real.

Just now the sprout was still glowing with a jade-green light, but now it seemed a bit wilted; after hearing Jiang Yunchu's words, the proud little sprout turned, as if presenting its backside to her.

Don't ask how she knows……
