Chapter 1105  Richer than the elves

Liam was both fascinated and concerned. He had never witnessed such a phenomenon before, and he couldn"t predict what the outcome would be.

However, the fact that the Verdant Heartroot was thriving under the influence of the blood essence was an undeniable sign that it could be beneficial.

The air around the herb was s.h.i.+mmering, filled with an intense energy that was almost palpable. It was an odd combination of the fierce energy from the blood essence and the soothing aura of the herb, yet it somehow blended perfectly.

After a while, the blood essence completely melded with the Verdant Heartroot, and the intense energy around the herb subsided. What was left was a blood-red colored, majestic herb that was emanating an awe-inspiring aura.

Looking at the transformed Verdant Heartroot, Liam felt an odd sense of antic.i.p.ation. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he reached out to touch the plant.

The moment his fingers brushed against the stem, a wave of energy coursed through him. It was stronger than before, but also smoother. It was as if the raw energy from the blood essence had been refined by the herb, turning it into a potent healing energy.

He was impatient to consume the herb and see if it could further heal him, but he stopped. When he observed the herb closer, he could see that the herb was not yet satiated. There were still a few green spots on the herb.

Perhaps this was enough but the elf had mentioned that the chances of using the blood essence even with the herb was low, so Liam did not want to take any chances.

This place was full of blood essence and he was walking into this blind. He might as well gather some more and then try to use the herb.

Besides, he had no idea what he was expecting to happen here or what this was supposed to do. The elf was also vague about this. He talked about integrating the blood essence but what happens after integration was not clear to Liam.

Does it improve his physique? His mana core? His mana circulation pathways? Or perhaps his soul?

Considering that it was blood essence, his best guess would be his physique. This was why Liam daringly decided to consume the herb with the blood essence. But he still wanted to do this as best as he could.

He placed the herb on the side and collected all the other herbs from the patch as well. He now possessed 20 stalks of the Verdant Heartroot herb. In other words, he possessed 20 stalks of an S-Ranked herb!

While the energy in the stone tablet became palpably thinner, it was a good exchange for these 20 stalks.

In an instant, he probably became richer than even these B-grade world elves. What a ridiculously overpowered item!

Liam was finally able to use the treasure properly but he doubted if this was still the best use for the treasure.

He packed away all of the herbs inside his spatial artifact, adjusted his stance and then quickly exited the pocket world.

He had been less than a day in this new world but he had already managed to repair himself and recover from the intense damage his body had undergone. "Not bad, but there is still more."

Liam hurried out of the random building. He paused for a moment before das.h.i.+ng to his right. Rather than diving straight into the core of the ruins, he lingered in the outskirts to see if there were any more spots with soul blood beasts that these elves had missed.

Most of the elves should be gathered in the inner part of the ruins so Liam hoped that the outer regions should be relatively safe.

Liam had no idea how he arrived here, in this world, but everything that he needed to recover was right here around him. This place was full of precious items.

No wonder the higher world beings were at a different level. If their world was full of treasures such as this, then their growth would be explosive.

While Earth"s average level would probably stagnate around 60 to 80, the elves had the average level of above 500!

Now he only needed to safely navigate this world and find the resources while avoiding the numerous high-leveled beings roaming about.

If he could just do this, then he could reach new heights.

Liam remained close to the rough surface of the mountains, hiding himself in the lush vegetation and the foggy miasmic cover. He moved cautiously as fast as he could but finding anything of value in the outskirts was like fis.h.i.+ng in fountain water.

It looked like him coming across the huge herd of soul blood beasts was a one-time thing. He might really have to go inside to find more valuable items just like the elf had done.

This was risky but he had to do it. What was the use of running around here without any purpose?

Liam continued searching the ruins which seemed to extend indefinitely. Ever so often he spotted a few soul blood beasts here and there but nothing like the first big heard.

But Liam did not hurry. He took his time and carefully examined these soul blood beasts.

He studied the soul energy contained in them as much as he could before the beast turned rabid and attempted to kill him, at which point he simply disrupted the soul energy to finish off the beast.

Each of them gave him good experience points but he did not expect to level up any time soon. These were just a drop in the bucket.

Liam continued doing this and almost an entire day pa.s.sed without any progress, both bad or good. It wasn"t until dusk fell that he made an interesting discovery.

Nestled between two huge boulders was a narrow chasm. It was extremely narrow and almost impossible to spot if not for the faint aura emanating from it.

"Could it be the same chasm extending all the way over here?"
