After stepping through the door, it was as if they had suddenly gone through a barrier.
After stepping through, the scenery in front of them cleared while they became unable to see what was behind them.
The nervous faces disappeared and it was replaced with…a garden.
There was a garden that appeared in front of them.
This was a garden that was filled with green scenery and lush plants, that was completely different from the room or even the forest that they had been in. The plants were growing so much that they could even be considered overgrown, almost becoming dangerous.
But these were calm plants that didn't do anything to Lin Fan and Xiao Feng when they came into the room.
There was a clear path that had been laid out in front of them for Lin Fan and Xiao Feng, making it very obvious that they should follow it.
But Lin Fan didn't take this path right away.
Instead, he turned his attention to the plants around them.
Normal people wouldn't be able to recognize them, but he wasn't a normal person. With his knowledge that he gained during his time in the trial back then, he had memorized information about countless plants, so he was able to recognize everything around him.
Every single plant here was…a rare herb that would be very hard to find normally.
All of these herbs also had great medicinal power, so they could be used in many different things.
If he were to gather these herbs, there was no doubt that he would be able to refine some powerful pills.
So instead of following the path that had been laid out, he pulled out some tools and moved towards the plants on the side.
These plants as high grade herbs naturally had spirituality and had their intelligence, so they could see what Lin Fan was planning to do. It was clear that they were unwilling to go along with this, but…
In the end, they didn't move away as Lin Fan came closer to them.
Even when he brought the blade towards them, they just allowed him to cut them away and put them in his storage space.
With the way that they were acting, it was almost as if they had received some kind of order not to go against Lin Fan.
Of course, they had indeed received an order not to resist Lin Fan and let him do what he wanted, so they could only let him harvest them.
However, harvest didn't mean that he was cutting them from their roots and killing them. After all, these were herbs that had experienced spirituality and had intelligence, so they could grow even stronger.
Instead of cutting them from the roots, he made sure to extract their essence from their plant bodies and kept them in his storage space.
If he planted them in his store, he would be able to raise these herbs in his store and get an unlimited supply of herbs.
He wouldn't kill the golden goose that laid him golden eggs, he wasn't a fool like that.
As time passed, more and more of the plants were cut down and placed into Lin Fan's storage, but he couldn't make a dent in the garden at all. There were just too many plants for Lin Fan to harvest and he couldn't get them all.
But if there was anything that Lin Fan had right now, that was time.
There was no reason for him to follow the path that had been laid out for him, so he could slowly take his time and collect the herbs that were in front of him.
That didn't mean that whoever laid out the path for him would allow him to do so.
Lin Fan was able to collect the herbs with Xiao Feng for a while before there was a voice that suddenly rang out, "What are you doing?"
Lin Fan just ignored this voice and continued gathering the herbs that were scattered in front of him.
Xiao Feng had turned in the direction that this voice came from since he could feel something familiar coming from it. However, seeing that Lin Fan didn't react to that voice at all, Xiao Feng turned back to help him gather the herbs again.
There was a short silence that followed as the owner of the voice couldn't believe that it was being ignored like this. But when it came back to its senses, the voice boomed out again, "You're ignoring me? Do you know what you are doing?"
Once again, Lin Fan ignored this voice and continued harvesting the herbs.
However, the herbs around him started to tremble after hearing this voice.
They could hear the anger that was in the voice and they knew that if the owner of the voice was angry, the ones that would suffer the most would be them.
So as soon as they recovered from their fear, they immediately started speaking up to urge Lin Fan to listen to the voice.
"Hey, listen, you don't want to annoy that person."
"Hey, listen, you should just go down the path and meet that person."
"Hey, listen…"
These voices came from all around Lin Fan, but he completely ignored them.
Even when they tried using their life energy to make their voices stronger, it didn't matter to Lin Fan since he simply put a sound law barrier around himself. With this sound law barrier, he didn't hear a single thing that they said.
Seeing that Lin Fan had no intentions of listening, there was a bolt of lightning that suddenly cut through the sky and landed on the ground beside him.
The unlucky herb who had been hit by this bolt of lightning had been completely turned to ashes.
Lin Fan had no choice but to pay attention to the temper tantrum now.
When he looked up, he was surprised to find that what he thought was the sky was actually just an illusion of a sky. The only thing that was actually providing light was just the crystal that had been installed in the roof.
Right now, the sky had turned cloudy because of the bolt of lightning that had been sent down.
Seeing that he finally reacted, the voice said, "Now, take the path and come to where I am. I need to meet the successor to give him the inheritance."
Lin Fan tilted his head as if he didn't hear him and was curious why the sky had turned dark.
Seeing this, there was more lightning that appeared in the sky.
Still, Lin Fan wasn't fazed at all by this.
After watching the lightning flash in the sky, he turned back to the herbs and started collecting them again.
The herbs were completely terrified of everything that happened, so they just stood there without moving at all. With them shocked like this, it made it even easier for Lin Fan to collect them.
After all, they were still resisting a bit before being stunned.
It wasn't enough to stop Lin Fan, but it was enough to make it harder for him to harvest them.
Seeing that Lin Fan was still ignoring it, the owner of the voice really didn't know what to do and was stunned.
This was the first time that it had ever been treated like this, so of course it didn't know how to deal with Lin Fan.
Finally, the voice couldn't help asking, "What do you want? If you bring the successor over, I'll grant you one favour."
Lin Fan once again ignored this as he continued to harvest the herbs.
There was a trace of desperation that appeared in the voice as it said, "Anything, I can grant you any favour."
But once again, Lin Fan ignored the voice and continued doing what he was doing.
Seeing this, the voice had no choice but to give an order to the herbs.
It knew that Lin Fan was using his harvesting to ignore it, but at the same time, it knew the benefits that Lin Fan would gain from harvesting these herbs. It had lived for a long time, so it knew what kind of things these herbs could be used for.
So it gave the order for…
When the herbs received this order, they immediately revealed relieved looks.
Then without any hesitation, they started running away from Lin Fan.
They hadn't resisted earlier because of the order of the voice, but now that the voice gave them an order to avoid Lin Fan, they went all out executing that order.
After all, Lin Fan was like the grim reaper who had been collecting the lives of their companions…No, he wasn't collecting their lives, but they didn't know where Lin Fan was taking them, so they were as good as dead to them.
They had been praying that Lin Fan didn't pick them next to be harvested.
So once they received the orders, they immediately started running away from him.
Lin Fan could have easily caught them if he used his life energy, but he didn't since he didn't know what this space was. He didn't know how the owner of the voice would react if he were to suddenly use his life energy to catch the herbs.
Not to mention, he didn't want to harm the herbs in the first place since they would lose their medicinal efficacy.
So he had no choice but to recognize that he had been outplayed.
With a voice that recognized that he had been defeated, Lin Fan said, "Alright, let's discuss conditions.
