“When did humans start using precious soil for cultivation?” The ginseng doll was surprised. In its memory, even among cultivators who specialized in earth attribute spells, none of them had ever asked for soil.

The medicinal garden lacked many things, but soil was not one of them, especially the soil used by the little medicine kings, which was a rare and precious soil that money couldn’t buy.

“Wait for me.” The ginseng doll left these words and ran into the wooden house. After a while of rummaging, it came out with four iron shovels.

“We four will dig up some rare soil and see which one Lu Yang will use.” It kept one shovel for itself and gave the remaining three to the three little medicine kings.

The four little medicine kings scattered, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared, leaving only the Enlightenment Tree, Lu Yang, and the Immortal Maiden.

The ginseng doll was the first to return, its roots holding a pile of dark soil: “Here, this is black soil, do you want it?”

Lu Yang had often heard of this kind of soil. It was a type of soil that could make any spiritual plant grow robustly. The land cultivated by the Blue-eyed Water Buffalo clan was this black soil.

“This is not the black soil you see outside. This is the source of black soil. It can be used for cultivation and can also improve the quality of the surrounding soil, turning it into black soil.”

“The black soil you see outside is the black soil that has been assimilated by the source of black soil, or you could say that what you see are derivatives of black soil. These derivatives have a limit in terms of usage and time. After a few uses, they will degrade back to their original state. What I have in my hand is the real black soil, which will never change.” The ginseng doll was quite proud. This was the kind of soil that the little medicine kings liked the most.

“Is it that magical?” Lu Yang grabbed a handful, closed his eyes, and shoved it into his mouth. He opened his mouth and swallowed the black soil.

The ginseng doll and the Enlightenment Tree were dumbfounded. They were still wondering how Lu Yang was going to use the soil for cultivation, but he just ate it?

“How is it, how is it, what does it feel like?” The Immortal Maiden asked impatiently.

Lu Yang smacked his lips, recalling the feeling: “No change. My realm hasn’t improved, the speed of my internal spiritual power circulation hasn’t changed, my strength hasn’t increased, my agility hasn’t improved, and my spiritual sense hasn’t changed.”

“Maybe you didn’t eat enough, eat some more?” The Immortal Maiden suggested.

Lu Yang thought it made sense, so he ate all the black soil that the ginseng doll had brought in one go, and ran his cultivation technique for a full cycle: “Still no change.”

The Immortal Maiden thought for a moment and analyzed: “It’s possible that the effect of the black soil is to improve your talent, such as changing from a triple spiritual root to a double spiritual root, or from a double spiritual root to a single spiritual root. You already have a single spiritual root, which is the best talent, so there’s no room for improvement.”

Lu Yang looked at the Immortal Maiden suspiciously: “Have you not eaten it before?”

“How could I, as one of the top ten beauties of the ancient times, eat soil?”

“Moreover, when I learned this divine ability, I had already become an immortal, and my cultivation had reached its peak. Why would I need to eat soil?”

Lu Yang interrupted the Immortal Maiden’s boasting: “Wait a minute, where did this top ten beauties of the ancient times come from? How come I’ve never heard of this ranking?”

“Am I not the number one beauty of the ancient times?”

Lu Yang looked at the Immortal Maiden’s flawless face and nodded.

“If there’s a number one, there must be a number ten, right?”

Lu Yang nodded again.

“Although I don’t know who the top ten beauties of the ancient times are, since there’s a tenth place, there must be a top ten.”

“So you made it up?”

“How can you call it making up? I’m just stating something that definitely exists! Besides, there are definitely three people in the top ten beauties of the ancient times: the two wives of the Kylin Immortal, and my most devout follower, Qinghe.”

“Kylin Immortal?” At this moment, the Kylin Immortal Medicine came over with another kind of soil, just in time to hear the Immortal Maiden talking about the Kylin Immortal.

“Immortal Maiden, the Kylin Immortal you mentioned… Does he have anything to do with me?”

Seeing the Kylin Immortal Medicine so nervous, Lu Yang remembered a rumor that the ginseng doll had told him, saying that there were no Kylins in the world, and that all the Kylins seen by people were actually Kylin Immortal Medicines.

The little medicine kings also didn’t know if there were any real Kylins in the world.

Lu Yang had thought the same, but later learned from the Immortal Maiden about the existence of the Kylin Immortal, which debunked this lie.

Lu Yang realized that what seemed like common knowledge to him, such as the titles of the Four Immortals of the ancient times, was not known by many even in the Body Fusion stage. Even the long-lived little medicine kings didn’t know.

Could it be that the Immortal Maiden was really my golden finger?

“The Kylin Immortal is the only Kylin in the world, and also the only immortal of the demon clan. As for you Kylin Immortal Medicines…”

The Kylin Immortal Medicine asked anxiously: “How did we come about?”

“The blood of the Kylin Immortal fell on a spiritual plant, and that plant was influenced by the immortal blood and transformed into the shape of a Kylin.”

The Kylin Immortal Medicine immediately felt its status rise, and its medicinal stem straightened up.

Lu Yang was surprised: “The Kylin Immortal was injured after becoming an immortal? Who was the enemy?”

Could it be that there were terrifying existences in the ancient times that threatened the ancient immortals, and the Immortal Maiden had been worried that her cultivation was too low, so she didn’t tell him, and wanted to wait until his cultivation improved before telling him?

The Immortal Maiden was really thoughtful, but unfortunately, he had discovered the clues!

Should he pretend not to know, or continue to ask?

The Immortal Maiden was also puzzled: “I wasn’t there at the time, so I don’t know the specifics. It was when the Kylin Immortal was getting married, and the Heavenly Immortal and the others attacked him, beating him up and causing him to lose a lot of blood.”

“Why would they start a fight on such a joyous day? I don’t understand them. Could this be the so-called wedding pranks?”

Lu Yang: “……”

Wasn’t it you, Immortal Maiden, who caused trouble at the wedding with the immortal fruit, and the two culinary masters started a cooking competition because of you, making the Heavenly Immortal and the others taste the food as judges, and afterwards, they thought the troublemaker was the Kylin Immortal, so they taught him a lesson?

So the Kylin Immortal Medicine appeared at that time.The Kylin Immortal Herb in the medicinal garden is a descendant of the original one.

“Battle of the Immortals?” Upon hearing this, the Enlightenment Tree and Ginseng Doll gasped in surprise. They couldn’t believe that even in ancient times, those who had achieved immortality could still encounter unexpected dangers.

Based on the words of the Immortal Maiden, they automatically imagined a scene:

In ancient times, when the Kylin Immortal was getting married, thousands of demons came to pay their respects. Three immortals who were hostile to the Kylin Immortal deliberately provoked him on his wedding day. For the sake of his beloved and his dignity, the Kylin Immortal was filled with righteous indignation. He fearlessly faced the three immortals, boldly took action, and with his supreme immortal power, he stirred up a storm, shocking the ages!

This battle defended his supreme status as the only immortal among the demon clan!

The fact that immortals bled showed how fierce that battle was!

A true battle of immortals!

This Immortal Maiden really didn’t treat them as outsiders, casually revealing a corner of ancient secrets with just a sentence.

They looked at Lu Yang.

How many ancient secrets must Lu Yang, who was by the Immortal Maiden’s side, know? How many cruel ancient struggles must he have heard about!
