Hongjun, ever since escaping the strange space where the Heavenly Dao resided, had been wandering in the chaos!
The moment Hongjun left, he was injured by the Pangu illusion manifested by Taishang's divine art! Even after entering the chaos, he was constantly searching for chaotic spiritual herbs to heal his wounds!
The chaos was fraught with peril. Even at his peak, Hongjun had to tread carefully in the chaos, let alone now when he was severely wounded!
Hongjun moved stealthily, but whenever there was the slightest disturbance, he would not hesitate to abandon his current dwelling!
As soon as Hongjun emerged from the Primordial World, he encountered a pack of ferocious beasts of the chaos. Fortunately, he managed to escape them with the fragment of the Jade Disc of Fortune in his hand!
Little did he expect that just as he had escaped those beasts, he ran into the chaotic currents!
This left Hongjun in a sorry state! When had Hongjun ever endured such indignity? He attributed all his misfortunes to the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Dao!
While resisting the chaotic currents, Hongjun cursed under his breath:
"Damn the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Dao! Once I have healed my wounds, I will ensure you perish without a burial!"
Hongjun grumbled as he struggled to fend off the chaotic winds generated by the turbulent currents!
These chaotic winds felt like knives against his body! Hongjun's resentment towards the Three Pure Ones and the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao deepened uncontrollably!
In the Primordial World, Shennong awoke to find his dried meat supplies dwindling. He had also mastered many medicinal herbs that could heal injuries, and it was time to return and pass them on to his tribesmen!
With this thought, Shennong wasted no time and hurried back!
During this period, Shennong had been diligently researching the species that poisoned his tribesmen, and he had made considerable progress.
The sooner he returned, the less suffering his tribesmen would endure, and the fewer lives would be lost!
As Shennong walked, he suddenly noticed birds pecking at the seeds of some plants not far ahead!
Shennong was astounded. This was the first time he had witnessed such a phenomenon; he never imagined that the seeds of plants could be edible!
Shennong suddenly wondered if humans could also eat these seeds, which would allow them to cultivate their own food!
The idea struck Shennong like lightning. Currently, his tribesmen raised livestock, which required them to go out daily to gather grass for feed.
If humans could also use these seeds, then the stalks could be used to feed the livestock, making it a win-win situation!
With this in mind, Shennong stepped forward and collected a large quantity of these plant seeds, intending to take them back and experiment with them!
Thus, Shennong returned to his tribe. Upon his arrival,
He immediately began treating his injured tribesmen by either crushing the herbs he brought back and applying them to wounds or boiling them into decoctions for them to drink. Su Dan Novel Network
The tribesmen who were treated with Shennong's herbs soon recovered.
Seeing that Shennong could save their near-death tribesmen using only common plants, the people were filled with wonder!
They all eagerly asked Shennong how he had done it. Shennong, without hesitation, shared not only the herbs for treating injuries from beast attacks but also
the antidotes he had discovered through his experiments!
While teaching the others, Shennong also discovered that different combinations of the herbs he had found possessed different efficacies!
Upon discovering this miraculous phenomenon, Shennong became engrossed in his research!
Those who learned from Shennong and achieved proficiency also joined him in his research endeavors!
Shennong continued to treat his injured and poisoned tribesmen while simultaneously researching the remarkable combinations of medicinal herbs.
Shennong remained in the tribe, and with the arrival of winter, many tribesmen fell ill again.
However, thanks to Shennong's presence, the number of deaths due to illness within the tribe during this winter was significantly reduced!
The people were deeply grateful to Shennong, and as a result, the tribe was renamed the Shennong Tribe!
Shennong stayed until the following spring. Watching the small grass sprout from the earth, he suddenly remembered the seeds he had collected and planted them in the ground!
In the chaos, Hongjun, after finally escaping the chaotic winds, detected a pleasant fragrance in the air!
Hongjun laughed heartily upon smelling it. This was the first thing that had brought him joy since entering the chaos!
The fragrance permeating the air was emanating from a rare chaotic spiritual herb!
Hongjun followed the scent towards the chaotic spiritual herb!
The fragrance originated from a spirit herb called the Chaos Nether Flower, which specialized in treating Dao injuries caused by the origin of chaos!
As Hongjun inhaled the fragrance, he felt his injuries, inflicted by Taishang, subtly begin to heal!
This type of herb was usually fought over by chaotic demon gods, yet he had encountered it!
In the chaos, Hongjun did not fear the chaotic beasts or the chaotic currents; his only fear was the chaotic demon gods!
If any powerful chaotic demon god discovered his presence, especially knowing he was injured, his very essence would be a fatal temptation to them!
Obtaining his essence would allow them to ascend to higher realms!
Initially, Hongjun was reluctant to take the risk, but without the healing properties of the Chaos Nether Flower, his injuries might never fully recover!
This was the reason why Hongjun had to venture towards the Chaos Nether Flower despite the danger!
However, the only good news was that the Chaos Nether Flower was not guarded by ferocious chaotic beasts like other chaotic spirit herbs!
Once he found it, he could quickly collect it and depart!
Hongjun followed the scent and, after a short distance, spotted a blooming white Nether Flower in the void ahead, absorbing wisps of chaotic origin. It was indeed the Chaos Nether Flower!
Hongjun was overjoyed! The Chaos Nether Flower could heal his injuries because it matured by absorbing the origin of chaos!
This Chaos Nether Flower was close to maturity; it could be harvested as soon as it stopped absorbing chaotic origin!
Shortly after Hongjun arrived, as the Chaos Nether Flower was about to cease absorbing chaotic origin, Hongjun rejoiced, thinking he could harvest it soon!
Once he obtained the Chaos Nether Flower, his injuries would heal in no time!
Just as Hongjun was about to pluck it, he suddenly sensed chaotic fluctuations in the distance!
Hongjun's expression changed drastically. He quickly moved to the Chaos Nether Flower and was about to collect it when the chaotic fluctuations in the distance grew stronger!
Hongjun hardened his resolve. Although the Chaos Nether Flower had not fully matured, he could take more time to recuperate!
As Hongjun was about to act, an uncertain voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Hongjun?"
