Chapter 531 The Empty Fields

• On the second layer of the Voidlands, outside the Longevity Pavilion, the Second Elder of the Outer Sect, Lingyao, smoothed the little braids he’d woven into his beard. He was dressed sharp as a pin, and he couldn’t hide the grin tugging at his mouth. He even hummed under his breath—today felt like a damn good day.
• Twenty years back, Lingyao discovered something strange about the spiritual energy on the second layer of the Voidlands. Any precious herb planted there would mature in just three years. Three years, that’s it.
• Even ancient spirit herbs that took a hundred years to bloom and a thousand to bear fruit followed the same rule.
