Professor Li Qihuang had warned all the students before entering the garden: every plant and every tree in the Hundred Herb Gardens had medicinal uses, each flower and leaf were precious, and they must not be carelessly damaged.
The very soil under their feet, richly imbued with spiritual energy, was exceptionally valuable.
But this didn't mean that the flora and fauna in the garden were fragile.
On the contrary, the value of magical plants was directly proportional to their danger. The more precious a magic plant is, the more dangerous it is to wizards.
This was sharply felt by Zheng Qing when Old Man Sitangda led the group of freshmen along the pathway deeper into the Hundred Herb Gardens.
It was when the new student group crossed the seventh field, that had passed through seven different environments, this group ran into a minor hiccup.
