After her generous donation of flame seeds, Yulan felt satisfied, but a new question began to form in her mind. With the 300 contribution points she had received, added to the 150 points she already had, a myriad of possibilities opened up before her. In total, Yulan had 450 contribution points, but the question of how to use them still lingered in her mind.
As she walked through the sect’s gardens, observing the herbs that grew under the care of the elders and disciples, Yulan began to think about her magical space. Although her garden contained an impressive variety of plants, there were many spiritual herbs that she did not yet possess. These herbs were not only essential for alchemy, but could also improve the quality of her pills and expand her abilities as a cultivator.
Yulan stopped in front of a lush garden where various exotic and rare plants grew, their leaves glistening in the soft sunlight. She remembered that the sect had a warehouse where spirit herbs were stored, some of which could be purchased with contribution points. This could be a unique opportunity to enrich her magic garden, even if she couldn’t share its existence with anyone.
“If I can get some rare herbs, I can increase the variety of pills I can create,” Yulan thought, her heart racing at the thought. “But which herbs should I choose?”
As she pondered, she remembered Li Mei’s lectures, where the elder had mentioned specific herbs that could be extremely beneficial for cultivation and alchemy. Spiritual Lotus Petal, for example, was known to increase the purity of Qi and could be a valuable addition to one’s magical space. Another herb that came to mind was Moonlight Flower, which had unique spiritual power-amplifying properties.
With these thoughts in mind, Yulan decided that she would head to the sect’s storehouse to see what herbs were available and which ones she could acquire. Upon entering the storehouse, she was greeted by an older disciple, who greeted her with a nod.
“Hello, Yulan! I see you’re here to exchange your contribution points for spirit herbs. What are you looking for?” he asked with a friendly smile.
“I’m thinking of acquiring some rare herbs. I’ve heard about the Spiritual Lotus Petal and the Moonlight Flower. Do you know if any are available?” Yulan replied, excitement evident in her voice.
The disciple consulted a list and, after a few moments, looked at Yulan with a glint in his eyes.
“We have the Spiritual Lotus Petal, but the Moonlight Flower is a bit scarce at the moment. We might be able to get one in our next harvest, but you would need to wait. If you prefer, I can show you other herbs that are also very valuable.”
Yulan thought about it. The Spiritual Lotus Petal was a great choice, but the idea of waiting for the Moonlight Flower didn’t appeal to her very much. After some consideration, she decided that it would be worth focusing on the Lotus Petal, a herb that could immediately increase her alchemy skills.
“I’ll take the Spiritual Lotus Petal,” Yulan decided with renewed confidence. “How much will it cost?”
The disciple confirmed that the herb would cost 50 contribution points. Yulan quickly did the math in her mind. With 450 points, she would still have 400 remaining, which she could use later.

After the transaction, Yulan walked out of the warehouse with the carefully packed Spiritual Lotus Petal. Her heart was pounding in her ribcage, and a radiant smile lit up her face. She could already imagine how the new herb would integrate into her magical garden, increasing the diversity and potential of her creations.
As she walked back to her cabin, a sense of satisfaction enveloped her. Although she had yet to decide how to use her remaining contribution points, she knew that she had taken an important step in her journey. With the Lotus Petal in her hands and the green flame pulsing within her, Yulan was more determined than ever to become a renowned alchemist and an exceptional cultivator. The adventure had only just begun, and the possibilities were endless.
Deep down, Yulan guarded the secret of her magical garden, knowing that her achievements and discoveries were hers and hers alone. This was a part of her journey she preferred to keep hidden, a haven where her abilities could flourish without the pressure of others.
Upon returning to her cabin, Yulan could not contain the excitement that pulsed in her chest. With the Spiritual Lotus Petal in her hands, she felt as though she held a key to new possibilities. Carefully, Yulan opened the package and removed the herb, admiring its delicate, vibrant leaves. The Petal emanated an aura of positive energy, a promise that it could enhance not only her alchemy skills, but also the quality of the Qi in her magical space.
Yulan made her way to her magical garden, a place that had always been a haven for her creativity and determination. The entrance was marked by a small wooden door that opened onto a world of colors, scents, and vibrant energy. The herbs grew in perfect harmony, each one bringing a unique touch to the landscape. The soft light filtering through the leaves seemed to dance to the rhythm of the wind, and the fresh scent of the plants filled the air, as if the garden itself were celebrating her presence.
Gently, Yulan found a suitable space among the existing herbs. She made a small hole in the soft soil, allowing the roots of the Spiritual Lotus Petal to settle comfortably. As she placed it in the soil, she felt a wave of vibrant energy flow from the soil into her hands, as if the garden recognized the new addition.
“Now, you will be a part of this special place,” Yulan murmured as she covered the roots with soil, ensuring that the plant was firmly in place.
Next, she began tending to the other herbs that already inhabited her garden. The Spirit Grass’s glossy leaves danced softly, each one seeming to tell a story of growth and potential. Yulan made sure they were all well watered and getting adequate light, pulling out any weeds that tried to compete for space. The feeling of connection with the earth and the plants was deeply satisfying, and Yulan felt like she was contributing to something greater than herself.
As he worked, his mind wandered, thinking about the possibilities each new herb could bring. Spiritual Lotus Petals were known for their ability to increase the purity of Qi, which could not only enhance his pills, but also elevate his cultivation practice to new heights. The garden, with its diversity of plants, was becoming a veritable treasure trove of resources.
After several hours of care, Yulan stood back to admire her work. The magical garden seemed even more vibrant and full of life. The Spiritual Lotus Petal stood out, as if celebrating her arrival. A satisfied smile spread across Yulan’s face, and she felt grateful to have a space where she could explore her skills and expand her knowledge.
“This is just the beginning,” she said to herself, dreaming about the future. “I have a lot to learn and achieve.”
Before she entered her hut to rest, Yulan looked once more at her garden. It was a place of magic and growth, where each plant represented a step on her journey. With the green flame pulsing within her and the new herbs blooming around her, Yulan knew she was on the right path. Each day, she grew stronger, more skilled, and more connected to the magic around her. The world awaited her next conquests, and she was ready to embrace them
