Even from hundreds of meters away from the herbal garden, one could smell the medicinal fragrance in the air. Lush green, morning sky orange, rose pink and various colors of plants welcomed Michael with a sway in the wind. The disciples were watering the herbs regularly under the supervision of Elder Reiner who now built a swing in the middle of the herbal garden to spend his free time in this peaceful atmosphere.
At the present moment, the herbal garden was approximately 500 square feet in area. Quite a distance from the garden area, he noticed a couple of workers digging through, "what are they doing" he asked Gaya
"We'll build a dome covering the garden, a glass dome, it'll be grand" her eyes sparkled with excitement talking about the dome
"Of course, we don't have enough coins to start the construction. They are just digging the ground for the foundation" Michael nodded. Expanding the herbal garden would definitely increase the sect's legend as well as help him make varieties of potions and pills. Since Gaya was a Core Formation warrior, he could start expanding the garden with no fear of someone stealing his herbs. He also planned to use the Aragoth as his protection charm.
"Elder Reiner" the look-alike of Gandalf was startled noticing Michael's cultivation level, his jaws opened wide, "Young Man, when did you reach the Body Strengthening stage and how did you jump four levels?"
He came forward leaving the swing, "Nether Realm, Elder Reiner, I was lucky to find a few rare herbs, do you want to see them?" Elder Reiner's face brightened as he nodded vigorously like a little child.
Michael flicked his wrist ordering the system to place all the herbs in the storage in front of him. The very next moment, Ninety-eight to be exact herbs appeared in a neat row, making Elder Reiner almost faint on the spot because all of them were rare, extremely rare.
He didn't open up the matter that he gave Legendary herbs like Tiger Cress, Diamond Leaf, Oglio root, and Cavern Petal to Aragoth in exchange for the alchemy supply contract.
"SO MANY…..HERBS!!!" Elder Reiner dropped to his knees, smelling, feeling, touching the herbs one by one. Although he didn't recognize many herbs in here, he could sense the powerful medical Arch Energy radiating from within those herbs.
"You really had a great time there, didn't you?" Gaya knew about his actions in the herbal garden, still, seeing these herbs with her eyes slightly shocked her.
"Pretty!" Cindy's big eyes sparkled looking at the Ocean Jasmin, which was a transparent ocean blue flower, the sweet fragrance and the beauty of the five-petal flower overwhelmed Cindy,
"It's called Ocean Jasmin, am I right Ghost?" Suddenly he heard the voice of Claire, turning around he saw Sect Leader Claire, as beautiful as the Ocean Jasmin itself walking towards him with a smile like a morning sunray.
Her golden blonde hair now became more golden and wavy, dancing in on her shoulder, "You're right, Sect Leader Claire"
"You have grown stronger" Claire clutched his biceps playfully, not as stunned as Elder Reiner. After hearing what Gaya did to those adventurers and Michael's feat during the phoenix auction fair, she herself had grown stronger, tougher. She wanted to be the leader everyone follows to death, not a sissy.
What could make her afraid when she has Ghost behind her?
His reputation had even reached the Capital city, the king of Bredia himself treated them with the utmost respect because of Ghost. He was the Guardian for all of them.
Michael didn't fail to notice the confidence in her eyes, the woman in front of him was not the meekly soft Claire he first met, this was a new person. Not only her, everyone in the sect seemed to be a new person, he affected the greater than he expected.
She gave a quick kiss to the baby dragon on his shoulder and then she looked at the little Cindy. When Michael put the little girl down, she immediately went straight to the OCean Jasmin, burying her nose onto the petals. Just as she was about to pluck the flower, Claire grabbed her little hands, " Cindy, If you love a flower, don't pluck it. Because if you pluck it, it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation"
Michael didn't mind Cindy pluck the flower, of course, he would have reminded her of the preciousness of the flower before giving it to her because he would never spoil her, however, Claire's words made more sense,
"Yes, Teacher Claire, I will not pluck any flowers I promise"
"Good" Claire ruffled her head giving her a warm kiss on the forehead.
