Perfect World: The First Dao Body in the Chaotic Era!

"I wish to brew a jar of unparalleled fine wine, and like you, I search far and wide for precious medicines, but unfortunately, all the best medicines have been taken away."

"After searching everywhere, we unexpectedly found the existence of that medicinal herb garden."

"If you agree, we will set off immediately."

Li Dao stroked the teacup in his hand and looked at the Taoist priest in blue for a while.

The divine sense was focused on the Taoist priest, and seeing that his expression was calm and his gaze was firm, it did not seem like he was lying.

After going around once, he knew that continuing to search for the remaining sacred medicines in Yan Yi City would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, so going to that ancient medicine garden wouldn't hurt.

After figuring everything out, he nodded slightly to the Taoist priest and said:

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, my fellow Daoist."

"When are we leaving?"

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest in blue robes showed a hint of joy in his eyes, and cupped his fists in greeting to Li Dao, saying:

"My name is Ruan Si. May I ask your name?"

Li Dao slowly set down the teacup and said calmly:

"The Way of One".

Ruan Si was taken aback when he heard this. He was very familiar with the name. He couldn't help but show a happy expression on his face.

"I have long heard of your reputation, fellow Daoist. Traveling with you this time, this trip is sure to be a success!"

After finalizing the arrangements, the two left Yan Yi City and headed in the direction Ruan Si had indicated.

Li Dao sent a message to Qingxian in the city, not worried about her, as she was, after all, a prominent figure in her own right.

Looking at Ruan Si in front of him, and then at the wine gourd at his waist, he was also a little puzzled.

Judging from the aroma wafting from that wine pot, it didn't seem to be used to enhance cultivation; it seemed more like it was used to suppress something.

They subtly looked away. Though they had met by chance and decided to explore the secret realm together, they didn't delve too deeply into it.

About a day later, the two arrived at the herb garden that Ruan Si had mentioned.

Chapter 342 Willow Goddess?

Looking at the boundless, golden wasteland before him, Li Dao couldn't help but glance at Ruan Si beside him.

He was puzzled; such a harsh environment didn't seem like a place where a medicinal herb garden could exist.

The ground was full of pits and craters, with one large pit after another connecting with each other, making it look like a mining area.

Ruan Si seemed to have seen through Li Dao's thoughts, and carefully explained from the side:

"Brother Daoyi's idea is correct."

"This place was originally a mining area. The herb garden was discovered by cultivators who came here to mine, but it was all destroyed by a mysterious force."

"Only one person walked out insanely, and it was from that person that I learned about this place."

"Don't worry, there really is a medicinal herb garden in this abandoned mining area."

Li Daosheng glanced at the other person but didn't say anything more, only nodding slightly to Ruan Si.

But in the instant he turned around, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

As his eyes opened and closed, runes surged like a sea, piercing through the thick layer of soil and sensing a strange energy permeating beneath the earth.

"There is indeed something else hidden beneath this mine."

Li Dao followed Ruan Si to the largest mine pit.

It can be seen that the surrounding earth is covered with layers of earth patterns, and traces left by the cultivator's supernatural powers can be faintly seen on them.

But in a corner of the mine, he also saw bloodstains that had congealed there.

"Are they searching for the Divine Gold?"

Ruan Si nodded, then shook her head.

"The target is indeed the Divine Gold, but there are other treasures hidden here, and everyone is just trying their luck."

Li Dao nodded knowingly from the side.

They all come here seeking opportunities, and the size of those opportunities is not their concern; they just want to find them.

Ruan Si didn't delay either, lightly patting the black leather wine gourd at her waist.

hum!

The gourd trembled slightly and slipped from his waist, releasing a strange power.

Li Dao felt the divine light emanating from the gourd shining on him, making his primordial spirit feel warm.

This further confirmed that the gourd was indeed used to nourish the primordial spirit.

Looking at Ruan Si, he saw no abnormality in her, not even under the scrutiny of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye.

He immediately became interested.

Who exactly are you?

Ruan Si naturally sensed Li Dao's visit, but her expression remained calm.

His figure slowly floated down into the air, and the power of the divine fire suddenly erupted from his body.

In an instant, his aura changed completely, transforming him from a peaceful and easy-going Taoist into an incomparably domineering genius.

His hair danced wildly, his eyes shone with divine light, and he exuded an aura of dominance from within.

The black gourd fell into the air and continued to grow larger, causing the void to crack inch by inch, unable to bear the weight of the gourd.

The Dao patterns branded on the surface of the gourd became visible, and the sound of a mighty river surging from inside the gourd could be heard.

"From the primordial energy, the Dao opens the three realms!"

Ruan Si shouted, and the black gourd in mid-air trembled slightly before slowly tilting down.

Ding!

A drop of crystal-clear wine, seemingly imbued with supreme Dao principles, slowly dripped down, and an intoxicating aroma of wine permeated the desolate mining area.

In the blink of an eye, tender green plants have sprung up in the once barren mining area, covering the desolate surface.

As Li Dao smelled the aroma of the wine, he felt his pores open wide, intoxicated by the fragrance.

hum!

As the liquid dripped onto the ground, the entire mining area trembled.

One by one, Dao patterns fell precisely into every corner of the mine pit beneath their feet, transforming into a large array.

Click click click!

A divine figure appeared in the sky through an array, with a snake tail and a human body, its face obscured.

The deity reached out his palm and pressed it down hard onto the earth.

hum!

The earth began to rumble, the void trembled, and terrifying ravines spread outwards from the point where the palm had landed.

A passage leading to the unknown was slowly being drawn.

The mine beneath their feet was opened, and a path leading to the abyss slowly appeared.

The cliff face split open to both sides, revealing a dusty, ancient road.

Boom boom boom!

The ancient road led to an unknown destination, and on both sides of the road, a series of eerie green lanterns suddenly lit up, extending into the depths of darkness.

Ruan Si landed beside Li Dao, carefully putting away the wine gourd with a pained expression. Looking at the ancient road in front of her, she solemnly addressed Li Dao:

"This road leads to the herb garden. Be careful and stay close to me."

Having said that, he transformed into a stream of light and plunged into it, instantly entering the depths of the ancient road.

Li Dao, with a deep look in his eyes, quickly followed.

Since we're already here, we're also curious about what might be lurking in the depths.

Just after the two entered, a group of people slowly appeared in the void. The leader, with red hair and red eyes, spoke in a magnetic voice as his clothes fluttered.

"I knew then that the guy in the green robe must be hiding a secret!"

"Six months ago, out of a group of a hundred people, he was the only one who walked out of this mining area. I knew something was fishy!"

"You've certainly managed to endure the loneliness, arriving here only now!"

"Come with me! Let me see what secrets are buried here!"

As the red-haired, red-eyed man spoke, the three people behind him followed him into the ancient road.

After they filed in, the formation began to slowly dissipate, and the deity in mid-air seemed to sigh slightly before disappearing into the air.

Deep in the ancient road.

Golden light flashed continuously in Li Dao's eyes, and his divine sense surged like a tide, falling upon the ever-changing stone walls around him.

The many strange runes engraved on it vaguely reveal a race with snake tails and human bodies.

The people in the mural are kneeling on the ground in twos and threes, holding up offerings, and are performing a sacrifice.

On that altar, there was a terrifying presence, but it could be seen that it was a... willow tree.

Li Dao stopped in his tracks and stood in front of the mural. Looking at the figure outlined by the few lines, he saw it more and more like the Willow God!

He frowned slightly and whispered:

"This doesn't look like a medicinal herb garden; it looks more like a sacrificial site for some race!"

With this question in mind, he quickened his pace, shrinking the distance between them, and in a few moments he saw Ruan Si, whose robes were fluttering in the wind.

When Ruan Si saw Li Dao following her, her expression remained calm. She nodded slightly to him, and the two of them headed deeper into the area together.

Soon a bright light appeared ahead, and the two plunged into it, instantly changing the world before their eyes.

With lush green grass everywhere and verdant mountains, the occasional bird song drifts from the horizon, making it feel like a fairyland.
