Perfect World: Starting from Becoming Sister Huang

"Be gentle, crush it, don't be so rough!"

In the Hundred Herbs Garden, a stubborn rock the size of a human head stood there, baring its teeth and howling. It always felt unsafe in the hands of this androgynous person, as if it might crack at any moment.

"The God-Slaying Stone?" Shi Zhao suddenly asked.

"What God-Slaying Stone? I don't know!" the stubborn stone hurriedly denied. It had a mouth, eyes, and could move, making a cracking sound. Now, looking distressed, it said:

"I just lived in this sacred garden and was touched by the powder of the spiritual flower. That's how I was lucky enough to gain sentience and become able to speak, just like those spiritual plants."

Shi Zhao smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, still holding the stubborn stone. His fingers gradually glowed as he unleashed several divine stone-slaying techniques he had obtained from the depths of the Stone Kingdom's palace.

It was called a magical technique, but it only contained some fragmented runes, not even a complete set of moves. Yet, it seemed to have a miraculous effect, causing the stubborn stone in his hand to undergo some kind of change.

"Hey, why am I transparent and glowing?" Even the God-Slaying Stone was surprised and confused, not knowing what had happened.

Of course, it's just a stubborn rock, and you can't even figure it out.

Each Divine Stone is unique, a natural treasure in its embryonic form. There have only been a handful throughout history, and its evolution relies entirely on consuming soil, which is quite magical.

Shi Zhao arrived very early, heading straight for this place, so there were no other outside creatures in the Hundred Herbs Garden yet; she was the first.

The garden was vast and radiant. At first, only a few scattered medicinal herbs could be seen, but as one ventured deeper into the herb field, a rich fragrance filled the air.

"It truly is a divine garden. My Vermilion Fruit Tree and Qilin Grass can finally be grown." She took a deep breath, feeling refreshed.

The two rare medicinal herbs she obtained back then were barely able to survive because there was no suitable environment for planting them. She had to collect a lot of spiritual soil in the Great Wilderness to make them grow. They are still withered to this day.

Deep within the divine garden, the vital energy surged and divine light danced, dazzlingly beautiful. Even the Stone Emperor's herb garden did not contain so many precious herbs. The air was filled with auspicious vapors and auspicious energy.

Shi Zhao couldn't help but stop and admire it, somewhat captivated.

This is a true ancient medicinal field, where many spiritual creatures still grow today. Many ancient herbs have died of old age and fallen into the mud, and then the seeds sprouted again and grew anew.

There were so many spiritual herbs, one after another, only a few meters apart, with some exotic plants mixed in, all of which were more valuable than some spiritual herbs from the outside world.

Shi Zhao stepped forward, raised an eyebrow, and discovered that the divine energy of the field had suddenly increased more than tenfold. The void seemed to be distorted, and a strange and terrifying secret power was flowing.

If an ordinary expert were to come to this place, they would definitely be shattered and unable to withstand it.

However, this did not hinder her much. She stretched her waist slightly, her joints cracked slightly, and she got used to it. She accidentally turned back into her original appearance.

She was extremely tall and had an exceptionally good figure. Her legs were long and straight, and her supple waist swayed as she walked, creating a very beautiful and graceful silhouette.

Unfortunately, no one could witness this scene; only a stubborn rock made a racket.

Upon entering the herb garden, Shi Zhao's face lit up with a bright smile. There were so many spiritual herbs, they were everywhere. He had never fought such a rich battle before!

"The power of runes cannot be used here, and the field is exceptionally strong where spiritual herbs grow, so not many spiritual herbs have been dug up over the years." The God-Slaying Stone reminded him, and for some reason, it became somewhat listless and obedient.

Before it finished speaking, Shi Zhao reached out towards a spiritual herb. The speed was slow due to the barrier of the field, but it was very steady. His fair, jade-like hand did not tremble at all.

"boom!"

She succeeded, but was also impacted by a huge field of power, causing the spiritual medicine to shatter. However, she still stood firmly in place, and her surging blood energy quickly calmed down.

"Interesting." After pondering for a moment, a point of light burst forth from Shi Zhao's body, expanding his physical body's inner space to resist the field here.

Ordinary grotto-heavens cannot be opened here, but the physical grotto-heavens are too special; the field that suppresses runes cannot suppress pure blood energy.

Sure enough, the energy field around the other spiritual herb, which was shrouded in the physical body's grotto, weakened considerably. She reached out again and carefully dug out the spiritual herb completely.

"They actually dug it up! What kind of method is this?" The God-Slaying Stone was dumbfounded. Then it was casually tossed aside and rolled twice on the ground.

The runes in the Hundred Herbs Garden are imprisoned, and one can only rely on the power of the physical body. Shi Zhao was prepared in advance, and it was her physical body that came here. Sure enough, the physical body cave was very effective here.

Next, she dug up several more medicinal herbs, then stopped for the time being, preparing to search for the most precious herbs inside, or perhaps get her hands on the Fountain of Youth before returning to dig for herbs.

The Stone God watched as the woman took out a translucent white bone box and put the few spiritual herbs inside. His stone eyes practically popped out of his head. Then, seeing her head towards the deepest part of the herb field, he hurriedly shouted, "Hey, are you going to the Fountain of Youth? Take me with you!"

This person is so mysterious, and Da Shenshi feels that he can gain great benefits by following him.

After walking for a while, Shi Zhao's eyes lit up. A spring pool came into view, about ten feet square, radiating golden ripples and dazzling, its brilliance like water.

At the Fountain of Youth, the pressure in the field surged again, making it difficult even for pure-blooded beings to withstand. They needed to concentrate and approach slowly, otherwise their physical bodies would crack.

Shi Zhao stopped walking so fast. Even though she felt some pressure here, her pace remained steady, and she soon approached the spring.

The pool was filled with golden symbols, which shook out terrifying waves, like a golden ocean undulating, and a magnificent aura came towards you.

At this moment, other creatures appeared in the Hundred Herbs Garden. They were not humanoid, but had the bodies of scaly leopards and the faces of humans. However, they did not have ordinary human eyes; instead, they had only one vertical eye on their foreheads.

This is a purebred ancient ferocious beast, Zhujian, with a human face, leopard body, ox ears, one eye, a long and powerful tail, and immense strength. Legend has it that it can move mountains and fill seas, and carry ancient mountains on its back.

"Someone beat us to it! Damn it!" Zhujian's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Even if we were a step later, it's impossible for anyone to get close to the Fountain of Youth so quickly. Who is she?" A purple-haired girl dressed in purple arrived shortly after, equally surprised.

For some reason, the girl's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that the figure from behind looked somewhat familiar.

Not long after, several more pure-blooded creatures, as well as some extremely powerful ancient species, appeared in the Hundred Herbs Garden.

They faced each other, both wary, yet they seemed to have reached some unspoken understanding. They knew it was too late to try and reach the Fountain of Youth now, and it was impossible to surpass the person who started it. So they both chose to wait outside.

Especially after someone tried to harvest medicinal herbs and was injured, triggering a mass attack, no one dared to act rashly anymore, and they all became the most composed hunters.

Shi Zhao didn't take the arrival of these guys seriously.

Often, skilled hunters appear as prey, but if any fool dares to make a move, she wouldn't mind tasting the pureblood beast.

To be honest, she regretted it a bit after returning from Qilin Cliff last time. She was so focused on extorting money that she forgot to bring back some meat.

This time, we might be able to make up for our regrets.
