Draco, Qiong Qi, and Clarent appeared before the herb garden. Even though the orchard and the garden emphasized plant life, the difference was that the orchard focused on trees while the garden was a mixture of flowers, vegetables, and shrubs.
Naturally, the focus of its production was also vastly different. While the trees of the orchard produced fruits, the herbs here produced seeds, leaves, stems, and flowers that had various uses.
Naturally, the management and harvesting of such reagents were much harder than the orchard. With the orchard, you just had to pluck fruits and maintain the trees, but here, you had to be careful or you would damage a whole bed of reagents unexpectedly.
But precisely due to its higher difficulty, the garden was far more precious objectively than the orchard. Divine Fruits could only be eaten or drunk, and that required one to possess Cooking or Brewing at the least.
