The two rested in the passage. They could hear if there were any sounds.
After about six hours, the two had rested enough. Philip and Hiram got ready to continue. Hiram was a big eater.
Three packs of dry food were just his breakfast.
His mouth was full of food as he muttered, “It’d be better if there was coffee.”
The entire underground was like a huge maze, and one could get lost if one did not leave marks.
The two walked through this intricate tunnel for a whole day. During this time, Philip left a mark everywhere he
went, but they would still return to the same place.
Next to him, Hiram finally noticed something and said to Philip, “You can see some small holes made by fire ants at
the bottom of this passage, but there were no such small holes in the passage we were circling before…”
“Next, let’s walk along the passage with small holes like these. That should be it.”
Finally, as Hiram predicted, the two passed through a waterfall and came to an underground world. This place was

Not far away, there was a shiny disc at the highest point in the stone wall, which should be the sun here. The two
jumped off the wall and landed in a forest.
“That’s a thousand-year black plum, and that’s a thousand-year snowdrop.”
Hiram walked through the forest and exclaimed in surprise at the age and abundance of the special herbs here.
Although he was reluctant to destroy this place, Hiram said, “If we don’t pick them, someone will pick them later.
We can’t leave this chance to others.”
After some mental struggle, Hiram taught Philip some special herb-picking methods.
“We should be in the Bamboo Swordsman’s herb garden.”
Following the instructions given by Hiram, Philip picked several herbs.
Hiram made a rough estimation. The special herbs here were all more than a thousand years old, but according to
their different medicinal effects, the lowest grade was as high as grade seven, with rare special herbs with efficacy
as high as grade ten, which Hiram praised to the sky.
When Philip sorted out the herbs, he casually asked Hiram how to get the Multidew Herb.
Hiram was surprised when he heard it and asked Philip why he was looking for Multidew Herb. Philip explained
briefly, and Hiram told Philip how to obtain the Multidew Herb.
The Multidew Herb was the secret medicine of the Multiherb Guild in the third continent, which was the territory of
the White Tiger royal family. It was precisely because of this Multidew Herb that they were worthy of being called
the Multiherb Guild.
This herb was not allowed to be sold outside, and only one portion was harvested each year, which was often given
to the White Tiger Emperor of the White Tiger royal family.
Philip did not back down because of the difficulty in obtaining it, but the look in his eyes became more determined
after learning about it.
The two chatted leisurely as they filled their pockets with treasures along the way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, Hiram called out to Philip. It turned out that Hiram found a stone house by the stream along a path.
After knocking on the door without getting a response, Hiram pushed the door and walked in.
The furniture in the stone house was neatly arranged, and daily necessities were also in order.
Hiram, who grew up in a modern city, had never seen such a quaint setup. There was a book on the small dining
table near the door.
Hiram picked it up, flipped through it, and exclaimed, “I’ve never seen such a complete record of special herbs.”
Hiram handed the book to Philip and found the Multidew Herb that Philip had asked about earlier. The introduction
was roughly the same as what Hiram had said. However, the book even recorded the growth requirements of the
Multidew Herb, including its picking methods and so on.
“This book has a lot to offer…”
Hiram flipped through the book, looking for clues as to where it came from.
As the two rejoiced over the book, footsteps were heard outside the stone house.
A voice accompanied the footsteps. “Is there a guest?”
