Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Huang Long channeled his last ray of spiritual light into the book, and three characters representing the Great Dao appeared on the cover. He then stopped and stood still.

The book floated in mid-air, its entire body radiating a warm, spiritual light. It was ancient and weighty, with a faint fragrance of medicine emanating from it.

"This book is called the 'Compendium of Materia Medica'."

"It aligns with the rules of medicine in the universe and meets the needs of all living beings. All mortals can sense this book, acquire knowledge of medicine, and pass it down through generations, never to be forgotten."

Lieshan stared blankly at the "Compendium of Materia Medica" floating in mid-air, tears welling up in his eyes again.

Thousands of years of hard work have not been destroyed, but rather elevated.

All of this has been transformed into a true classic of medicine, enough to benefit humanity for generations to come.

Lieshan stepped forward and respectfully picked up the "Compendium of Materia Medica" with both hands.

The moment his fingers touched the cover, a warm, gentle power surged from the book and flowed into his body.

That was the spiritual treasure of the "Compendium of Materia Medica," which resonated with his Dao.

"Go."

Huanglong pointed to the ancestral land of the human race and said, "Go and proclaim your achievements to heaven and earth, and announce the birth of the 'Compendium of Materia Medica' to the human race."

Lieshan nodded emphatically, holding the "Compendium of Materia Medica," and took a step out of Shouyang Mountain. His figure transformed into a long rainbow and landed in front of the temple in the ancestral land of the human race.

At this moment, his seal has been lifted, and the immense magical power of a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal surges within his body. A faint golden glow surrounds him, which is the light of fortune manifested by the human heart.

He looked up at the statues in the temple, and saw the Holy Mother, the Sage of Taiqing, the Totem, the Suiren Clan, the Ziyi Clan, and the Three Ancestors of Youchao Clan.

He could clearly feel the human destiny contained within the statue recognizing him.

He turned around, looked at the countless clansmen at his feet, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.

This is where he grew up.

This was also a place where he knew nothing.

This is where he begins a new journey.

Lieshan took a deep breath, held the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in both hands, and his voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth:

"I am Lieshan of the human race, and I now uphold the Way of Heaven!"

"I have traversed the entire human land, personally tasted countless herbs, deciphered their medicinal properties, and compiled the 'Compendium of Materia Medica,' recording the pharmacological principles of all medicines, gathering their essence, and laying the foundation for the Way of Medicine!"

"Now, with this scripture, may it bring blessings to all humankind and all living beings, and universally benefit the world! All of my humankind who are destined can sense this scripture, obtain the inheritance of the Way of Medicine, and be forever free from injury and disease!"

"Heaven and earth bear witness!"

The moment the words fell, a vast radiance erupted from the "Compendium of Materia Medica," shooting straight into the sky, shaking the heavens and earth, and causing the Great Dao to roar.

Countless living beings know that another great path is being conceived between heaven and earth.

Lieshan's voice was like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploding across the entire human land and resounding to every corner.

Those who had been saved by Lieshan and who had inherited his medical skills knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of their ancestral land.

They knew that the sage who had tasted all kinds of herbs was among the human race, in their ancestral land.

Heaven has a way of responding.

Suddenly, a sky full of rosy light surged across the human land, and auspicious seven-colored clouds gathered from all directions, turning the entire sky into a magnificent sea of ​​light.

A melodious Taoist chant resounded between heaven and earth, and herbs manifested in the void, emitting their fragrance and nourishing every human being.

This is Heaven celebrating the birth of the Way of Medicine.

Lieshan's solidification of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" into a legacy of medicine for the human race means that the human race will henceforth possess systematic medical knowledge, leading to a significant decrease in the mortality rate from injuries and illnesses, and a sustained increase in overall fortune.

This enhancement of the entire race's strength also benefits all living beings in the primordial world.

A dazzling golden light descended from the sky.

The golden light, as thick as a pillar of heaven, was dazzling and carried immense power of merit, pouring straight down upon Lieshan.

Wherever the golden light of merit passed, golden springs gushed from the ground, flowers rained down from the sky, and wondrous phenomena appeared.

The golden light of merit is divided into five streams.

The first portion, five-tenths of the merit, fell into Lieshan's body.

Lie Shan shuddered, feeling a warm and powerful force surge into his stomach, nourishing and refining his stomach, which had already transformed into a spiritual treasure.

At the same time, his understanding of the principles of medicine and the natural world was perfected under the nourishment of the merits and virtues of the Heavenly Way.

After that, he could identify the medicinal properties of any herb that appeared in the primordial world at a glance.

His human destiny deepened, and the golden radiance around him grew even more intense, almost solidifying into a tangible form.

The second and third portions of the herbal essence were poured into the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

The book burst forth with dazzling spiritual light, and its spiritual treasure essence rapidly grew stronger under the nourishment of merit, directly leaping from a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure to a high-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure.

The Daoist patterns on the pages are even more mysterious.

The third force, a complete success, descended upon Duobao.

This is a reward for his protection of Lieshan over thousands of years, and for stepping in to save his life when it was on the verge of death.

The fourth strand, a complete success, descended upon the yellow dragon in Shouyang Mountain.

Huang Long looked at the golden light of merit, smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved it in his palm.

Instead of absorbing it, he glanced at the floating "Compendium of Materia Medica" and gently pushed it.

The golden light of merit flew out from his palm and landed in the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

The Compendium of Materia Medica was shaken once again, its brilliance shining even brighter.

As the pages turned, plants that had never been recorded in Lieshan suddenly appeared.

Seeing this, Duobao secretly admired it.

Junior Brother Huanglong is truly wealthy.

Merit is a treasure that even a Quasi-Saint would desperately seek, yet he could give it away casually without a care in the world.

Lieshan carried the herbal scripture, which, under the influence of the human race's fortune, manifested in one human tribe after another. Golden light of merit flowed around him, making him appear as if the human emperor had reappeared.

In the ancestral land of humanity, countless people knelt and kowtowed, shouting in unison:

"The Human Emperor! The Human Emperor! The Human Emperor!"

Beyond the ancestral land, countless tribes were shouting.

"Ancestor of Medicine! Ancestor of Medicine! Ancestor of Medicine!"

The sound, carried by the fortune of the human race, converged in the ancestral land of humanity, reflecting the auspicious clouds and rosy light in the sky, creating a scene that shocked even the sages.

Lieshan looked at the worshipping humans, his eyes showing no joy or excitement, only a heavy sense of responsibility.

He knew this was just the beginning.

The creation of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" solved the pain and suffering of humankind.

But hunger still lingers, and countless humans struggle to survive and fill their stomachs.

He has a long way to go.

He kept Huang Long's words firmly in mind...!

The path to becoming the Human Emperor involves more than just tasting hundreds of herbs and compiling a pharmacopoeia to cure diseases and save lives; it also requires solving the fundamental problem of the survival of the human race.

Lieshan turned to the last few pages of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that had evolved on its own.

His gaze fell upon a plant with a slender yet resilient trunk, long and narrow leaves like willow branches, and a faint fuzz along the edges.

What attracts Lieshan the most is that the top of this plant has a string of spikes that hang loosely, like a string of tiny bells.

The text that appeared beside it clearly described the object as "millet".
