Mu Hanyan's heart stirred. She had heard about the method of nourishing medicinal herbs with a foundation built from superior jade, but that was when she had advanced to the Holy-grade, mentioned by a Hidden Cultivation expert—something ordinary people wouldn't know. How did Ling Baobao come to understand such profound tactics?
Upon closer examination of the Golden Vine, even though the medicinal herb appeared wilted on the surface, Mu Hanyan could vaguely sense the surging Heaven and Earth Qi within it.
It seemed that Ling Baobao hadn't lied; the method he had taught the old man was correct. It was just unclear where the error had occurred. Although the Heaven and Earth Qi had been gathered within the Golden Vine, it failed to nourish the plant. Instead, it had left the formerly healthy Golden Vine half-dead, much like a person who had consumed too many nourishing substances to the point of suffering from over-nourishment.
