I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1585

Chapter 1585: Chapter 1586: Divine Herbal Medicine Chapter 1585: Chapter 1586: Divine Herbal Medicine “A task?” Song Jian was taken aback. With his current strength, it was rare for him to receive such unexpected tasks. The stronger the strength, the harder it was to receive such urgent tasks. Even inspecting the Ancient Desolate Abyss and repairing the Demon Suppression Seal were, for Song Jian, nothing more than ordinary sect assignments rather than emergencies.

“Could it really be that I have to kill the Desolation God to complete it?” Song Jian shook his head, his gaze settling on the Divine Ancient Well.

“Divine Ancient Well, type: Divine Country structure. Properties: Creates an ancient well within the Divine Country that can absorb the faint divine essence scattered throughout the realm. Over time, it produces a certain amount of divine essence and can be upgraded;”
A smile appeared on Song Jian's lips. Having a treasure that could generate divine essence on its own meant that he no longer needed to think about hunting divine creatures every day. After all, those divine creatures were extremely powerful, and hunting them posed a certain danger even with Song Jian's capabilities.

Just then, the Demon Suppression Seal suddenly cracked open as if a giant beast had opened its mouth. A thick aura of the Desolation God emanated from the crack, and the Desolation Gods around the seal seemed agitated, roaring loudly in response.

Song Jian narrowed his eyes and, following the task prompt, rushed toward the crevice. Quickly, his entire body plunged into the crack and disappeared. Moments later, the gap in the Demon Suppression Seal closed up as if it had never existed, replaced by a golden glow emanating from the seal that seemed to have dimmed slightly.

Song Jian felt as if he had fallen into an unfathomably deep hole. The howling wind filled his ears, and his body plummeted downward like a stone. His strength, too, seemed sealed, as if layers of silk threads were entangling him, wrapping him into a thick cocoon, leaving him completely immobile.

“If this continues, I might be smashed to death,” thought Song Jian. He could sense that this was some form of law suppression, but he was unsure whether the environment or the Desolation God caused it. If it was the work of the Desolation God, then his chances of completing the task might plummet.

Song Jian fell rapidly, not knowing how many meters he had descended. Roughly ten minutes later, his speed of descent abruptly slowed, then grew slower and slower until, like a feather, he gently landed on the ground.

By then, not a glimmer of light could be seen from above. Song Jian could only use the Perception Eye to scout the surroundings.

The Perception Eye was not visual but utilized perception to explore the surroundings, offering a clarity and fineness surpassing that of simple perceptive exploration, as if he had gained a pair of new eyes.

“This seems to be the den of some beast…” Song Jian's brow furrowed. Upon landing, he found himself in a massive cave, pervaded by a foul odor and littered with numerous rotting skeletons scattered around.

To Song Jian, even if the Desolation God had originated from a beast, it had become a deity, and its bestial nature should be mostly worn away, with divinity likely taking precedence. But now, it seemed reality differed from his expectations; even as a true deity, the Desolation God couldn't shake off its beastly instincts.

Song Jian cautiously explored the cave, which appeared to be an underground passageway, extending downward. Around him lay vast heaps of bones, some human, some resembling huge beasts. He even discovered several skeletons of the Dragon Clan, a pity that the long ages had stripped these bones of their essence, leaving them indistinct from rocks, nothing more than useless trash.

“However, there are still some good things here…” Song Jian's eyes locked onto a corner, his face breaking into a smile.

Arriving beneath a massive skeleton, Song Jian brushed aside some loose soil in a corner, revealing a gray plant before his eyes. The plant looked rather inconspicuous, barely distinguishable from the surrounding rock and soil at a glance, but upon closer inspection, one could find that its delicate roots firmly grasped the top of a bone. The surface of the bone was covered with dense lines that resembled blood vessels and nerves, but in reality, these were all the roots of the plant.

“Bone Desolate Divine Grass: Divine herbal medicine, properties: one of the main ingredients of the Divine medicine 'Rebirth Pill', invaluable;”
“Divine medicine?” Song Jian paused, then a smile crept across his lips. Such high-end medicine was probably out of reach for current players. However, as the player levels increased, they would surely come to handle such medicines, although it might take some time.

“Such divine herbal medicine could very well be unique, with every harvest reducing their number. I wonder if my Shattered Divine Realm could cultivate such divine herbal medicine,” thought Song Jian silently.

Song Jian's Gathering Skill had reached Master Level, giving him over a 75% success rate in harvesting even divine herbs, and combined with his exceptionally high luck, harvesting this divine herb shouldn't pose much of a problem.

With his purple bamboo trowel in hand, Song Jian carefully started to harvest the Bone Desolate Divine Grass. In no more than five minutes, he had successfully gathered the herb intact.

This herb turned out to have become one with the bone it had rooted in, and upon successful collection, the bone, as part of the herb, was also completely harvested.

After a glance at the peculiar herb, Song Jian did not place it into his inventory but instead teleported to his Shattered Divine Realm and, in a secluded and dim corner, planted the Bone Desolate Divine Grass.

Looking at the slightly wilted Desolation God Grass, Song Jian thought to himself, “The growth of the Desolation God Grass probably requires a vast amount of bones and Vitality. It seems that the bodies of the monsters I hunt from now on can't be thrown away; I need to collect them all to provide nourishment for the Desolation God Grass.”

“Master, have you gathered a new herb? Would you like Nova to care for it?” A docile wood spirit appeared beside Song Jian, looking curiously at the recently planted Desolation God Grass.

“Yes, you can take care of it,” Song Jian said with a smile. Wood spirits were the most skilled when it came to nurturing plants, a hundred times more so than the Puppet Beasts that only knew how to mechanically plant Snake Vine Grass. Entrusting them with the care of such special herbs was certainly the right choice.

It was just a pity that the number of wood spirits capable of assuming human form was exceedingly low. There were hundreds of wood spirits in Song Jian's divine realm, but only the one before him could truly take human shape.

Song Jian's figure vanished within the Divine Country, and the originally innocent smile on Nova's face slowly disappeared. Looking at the Bone Desolate Divine Grass, her expression turned sly.

“Divine plants. I didn't expect him to be able to find divine plants. Dammit, at this rate, this Divine Country will become more and more intertwined with him. How can I wrest back what is rightfully my Divine Country from his hands!” Nova muttered to herself, her face full of resentment and frustration.
