From the moment she fell unconscious behind the stone to the scene of her turning back twice as she departed, the memory remains vivid and clear. It took him three days to finally break free from the influence of Zi Lan. As the saying goes, those destined to meet will eventually cross paths, but whether there is destiny depends on one's strength. If he were weak, even standing at the entrance of Ziyang Mountain would not guarantee a meeting with Zi Lan. In this world, fate certainly exists; for instance, their encounter in the forest was a form of destiny. However, strength determines whether they will meet again. After coming to this realization, he continued on his journey.
As he gradually approached the edge of the forest, the powerful Demon Beasts and Chimeras began to dwindle, and their levels decreased as well. His pace quickened, but focused on honing his skills, he did not veer towards the so-called edge area that people spoke of. Instead, he followed the banks of Yan Luo River southward. Although he maintained a certain distance from the riverbank, he did not stray too far; at most, he was a day or two's journey away.
Throughout his journey, he kept up the same frequency of battles he had before encountering Zi Lan. Although he faced several tough fights, overall, he emerged victorious more often than not. Of course, if he encountered a powerful Demon Beast or Chimera, he would steer clear from afar. The Demon Beasts and Chimeras in this forest lacked intelligence; those that were powerful exuded an overwhelming aura to assert their strength and intimidate intruders. They would only tone it down slightly when hunting. Generally speaking, the territories of Chimeras and Demon Beasts were relatively fixed. For Mo Wen, aside from those he clearly could not provoke, he would not deliberately avoid them. To evade all Demon Beasts and Chimeras would mean one thing: staying put. For instance, when he was with Old Lu in that forest, after Old Lu dealt with the creatures residing there and released his own aura of dominance, it signified a new lord had taken over. They could then live there peacefully until new Demon Beasts or Chimeras moved in after their departure. Moreover, the territories of Chimeras and Demon Beasts often overlapped; it was impossible to avoid them all.
Shaking off his thoughts, he pressed on. Now he needed to "gather herbs." It seemed unreasonable for a healer venturing into the mountains not to collect herbs. However, the medicinal plants he sought grew within Demon Beast territories. Whether or not there were herbs was secondary; having combat-ready Demon Beasts was sufficient. The places he intended to visit should have herbs; after accidentally wandering into a Demon Beast Cave a few times, he realized that spirit herbs were indeed guarded by Demon Beasts. Those caves often contained medicinal plants of varying value growing within them, and their quality was significantly higher than those found elsewhere. Moreover, most of the plants in Chimera territory were beneficial for Shen Hun.
With joy from his harvest came regret for what he had missed in the past; he had overlooked many valuable items before. Over this period of time—whether through theft or taking by force—his gains had increased significantly compared to before. His Square Inch World now held many peculiar collections. As a pragmatist, his collection wasn't merely for show; practicality was paramount—such as fruit trees that calmed the mind or unknown trees that purified spiritual energy in his small world—and even a few brightly colored wild birds were kept as well.
