Back inside the dimension, Li Meirong materialised in the same spot as her previous visits, however what greeted her sight was not the sweet-scented view of flowers but a different type of scenery.
Li Meirong darted back and forth amid the field, scanning the mushroom-filled meadow in bewildered despair. Only a few flowers and herbs now remained in the area since the majority of the flora had been displaced by a heap of fungi. Huge, thick, stems they were, with glossy auburn, kidney-shaped caps. The polypore mushrooms colonized the whole field, peculiarly shooting straight out of the ground.
In the meadow's middle, one large lingzhi mushroom stood apart from the masses. It looked far grander than its smaller, identical-looking neighbours as it stood aloft, its large red cap shining with a waxy glow under the beaming light rays of the dimension's space.
Li Meirong approached the massive mushroom with a questioning look in her eyes, tapping on its wide top with her knuckles.
