To break through the crucial bottleneck of the Integration Stage on his path of cultivation, Lin Chen knew well that refining pills was an essential path, and acquiring rare medicinal herbs was the primary prerequisite for pill refining. Thus, he resolutely led a group of carefully selected elite disciples from his family and bravely embarked on this quest for herbs, filled with unknown perils and layers of crises.
Leaving behind the warm shelter of the family with high morale, the group set off facing the morning sun. Initially, prosperous towns and bustling crowds could still be seen on both sides of the road, but as their journey progressed, the surrounding scenery gradually shifted from a lively, bustling atmosphere to desolate and solitary mountain wilderness.
Right at the start, they encountered an extremely harsh natural environment. Gale-force winds howled like demons, and torrential rain poured down as if the heavenly river had overturned. The already rugged and treacherous mountain paths became muddy under the scouring of the rainwater, making every step forward exceptionally difficult. Yet Lin Chen's gaze was firm as he consistently walked at the front of the formation, loudly encouraging his disciples: "Everyone grit your teeth and support one another! These minor difficulties cannot stop our footsteps!" Deeply inspired, the disciples closely followed Lin Chen, trudging tenaciously through the wind and rain.
