Realm of the Night God

After Yang Haoran entered the barrier, he immediately took out the medicinal herbs, because these herbs were living organisms, and he did not dare to let them stay in the independent space for too long, in case they were damaged.

Seeing Yang Haoran take out the medicinal herbs, Feng Xiao was startled, as she seemed to have just remembered these herbs, and quickly inspected them to see if they were damaged.

For Feng Xiao, too many things had happened today, and she was only a 15-year-old girl with limited acceptance ability. So many things happened at once, making her brain a bit sluggish, and she had temporarily forgotten about the medicinal herbs in Yang Haoran's independent space.

Feng Xiao carefully inspected each herb, and Yang Haoran watched her without interrupting or offering to help. It's not that he didn't want to help, but he didn't have the qualifications to do so. He was not an Alchemist and didn't understand these herbs at all. He could tell if they were damaged, but he didn't know if they could still be planted after the damage.

So, as an outsider, he just watched, so as not to cause trouble for Feng Xiao and increase the young girl's workload.

It took about an hour and a half for Feng Xiao to finish inspecting all the herbs, and she stood up, supporting herself with her hands on her knees.

"How are the herbs? How many of them can still be planted?" Yang Haoran asked.

"Except for a small portion of the herbs that were significantly affected, the vast majority of the herbs were not greatly affected. The affected herbs will require special care, and I'll use a specialized elixir to revive them. They should be able to be saved, but..." Feng Xiao trailed off.

"But what?" Yang Haoran asked.

Hearing Feng Xiao's concern, Yang Haoran smiled and pointed to the large green area outside the villa, asking, "Can that area be used?"

"It can be used, the area is large enough, but is it suitable?" Feng Xiao asked.

Yang Haoran understood Feng Xiao's concern about the existing vegetation.

"That's easy to solve," Yang Haoran said with a smile, and then mobilized his Yin spirit power to forcibly uproot all the vegetation in that area. He then opened a gap in the barrier and threw the uprooted vegetation out.

Yang Haoran acted decisively, without any hesitation, which left Feng Xiao dumbfounded until he patted her shoulder, and she snapped out of her surprise.

"Is it okay now?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"Uh, yes, it's okay," Feng Xiao nodded dumbly, her tone a bit stuttering.

Feng Xiao's strong reaction was because the vegetation was quite beautiful, and she thought it had some value, but Yang Haoran just uprooted it without any hesitation, which surprised her.

"Compared to these medicinal herbs, they are worthless. We shouldn't waste time. Let's start planting these herbs so they don't get damaged again," Yang Haoran said.

Feng Xiao quickly nodded, even though she didn't know the value of the uprooted vegetation, but compared to these precious medicinal herbs, it was definitely less valuable.

"I'll go get a hoe," Feng Xiao turned and ran towards the barrier.

"No need to bother with that," Yang Haoran quickly stopped her, then said to Feng Xiao, "Just tell me how big the holes need to be and how deep, and I'll take care of it."

Feng Xiao knew that Yang Haoran wanted to use his power to solve this, and she was tempted to refuse, but considering the urgency of planting the herbs, she didn't refuse and told Yang Haoran the size and depth of the holes needed for planting.

Although Yang Haoran couldn't recognize the herbs, he knew how to dig holes, and after learning Feng Xiao's specific requirements, he didn't hesitate and got to work.

He first used his power to loosen the soil in the area, and the unique scent of the soil filled the area. Yang Haoran was a countryside boy, and he was very familiar with this earthy scent, which he found comforting.

After loosening the soil, he followed Feng Xiao's requirements and used his Yin spirit power to create a series of small holes of the same size and depth in the area.

Feng Xiao then took the herbs and planted them one by one in the holes. She could have used her power to plant them faster, but instead, she carefully placed each herb in the hole and covered it with soil, removing any stones or roots she found.

She was extremely careful, as if afraid of damaging the herbs, and she also carefully checked the planting area of each herb to ensure there were no impurities other than soil. Brought to you by the folks at MV|LEMPYR.

Yang Haoran watched all this, and although he was puzzled, he didn't immediately ask about it. Instead, he carefully took the herbs one by one and handed them to Feng Xiao, trying to lighten her workload.

With their joint efforts, all the herbs were replanted, and the ones that needed special treatment were planted in a separate area by Feng Xiao.

Feng Xiao patted the soil on her hands and looked at the new medicinal garden with a satisfied expression, and Yang Haoran took the opportunity to ask, "Why didn't you use your power? You could have done it much faster."

Feng Xiao smiled slightly and replied, "Using power, even a slight mistake could damage the herbs. And the whole process needs to be careful, leaving nothing that shouldn't be left, or it will affect the growth of the herbs. Both my master and I plant herbs without using power, not even for digging a hole. We use hoes and our hands to ensure everything is done perfectly. As for other Alchemists, I don't know if they do the same."

Feng Xiao's explanation cleared up Yang Haoran's doubts, and the only word he had for this approach was "meticulous."

He smiled and nodded, indicating he understood, but he didn't make any comments, as he was just an outsider and didn't have the qualifications to judge this.

"From now on, this will be your new medicinal garden. If the area is not enough, you can use other areas as well. The existing vegetation has been dug up, and they are worthless, so don't worry about it," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Hearing this, Feng Xiao's eyes lit up, and she asked, "I still have a lot of seeds. Can I really turn other areas into medicinal gardens as well?"

"Of course you can. Plant as many herbs as you want. If this area is not enough, I'll dismantle the villa, and if that's still not enough, I'll open up the mountain behind it. You don't have to worry about not having enough space," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Yang Haoran's affirmative answer made Feng Xiao very happy, and she quickly said, "Then let's get started now."

Seeing Feng Xiao's eagerness, Yang Haoran stopped her and said, "No need to hurry. This will be your home from now on, and you have plenty of time to do this. Now, I want to take you to another place."

Although Feng Xiao didn't know where Yang Haoran was going to take her, she nodded and suppressed her excitement.

Under Yang Haoran's guidance, Feng Xiao entered the villa and went to the underground area below.

The underground space was much larger than the villa above, and Yang Haoran led Feng Xiao to the area dedicated to researching various medicines.

This area not only had a research area for medicines, but also a treatment area for patients. The reason it was built underground was naturally to maintain secrecy.

"From now on, this will belong to you. You can refine dan pills, concoct elixirs, and research various medicines here. As long as this place is not breached by enemies, I guarantee that no one will disturb you," Yang Haoran said.
