Nash came to the mountain seeking treasure. He could take everything else, but the Thousand Illusion Array Disk had to be returned to the Cricton family.


    Nash could not help butugh at Tatiana''s pitiful appearance. "Silly girl, it belongs to your ancestors. Of course, I won''t take it," he said, with eyes filled with affection.


    Tatiana felt her heart melt. She tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Nash''s neck, and kissed him. After the brief kiss, Nash yfully pped her on the backside and said, "Alright, let''s go ahead and take a look inside!"


    Nodding, Tatiana turned and walked toward the thatched cottage. Just as she stepped into the yard, she was thrown back by a massive force. Nash''s pupils shrank as he quickly stepped forward to catch her. The force even made him stagger back several steps before he was able to steady himself.


    Rubbing her chest, Tatiana said, "That''s strange. I looked over the ce with my Net-Breaking Eye just now and saw nothing!"


    Nash looked up at the sky, only to see the clouds shaped in an array. "There''s a Mountain Shield Array here. It''s an extraordinarily advanced divinity-level pattern!"Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Creating arrays with clouds was likely a skill beyond even a grandmaster of arrays. Tatiana saw the pattern in the sky and nodded in realization. With Nash looking on in surprise, she returned her gaze to the front of the yard. She bit her finger and flung a mist of blood into the yard.


    The air twisted in the courtyard. Tatiana stepped forward and entered. This time, however, she was not thrown back. When Tatiana entered the housepletely, Nash finally rxed. He sat cross-legged on a stone table outside the courtyard and waited for her.


    Just as he sat down, a roar echoed through the skies, and the gold core inside him burst into brilliance. Power immediately filled his body. The restrictions were lifted, and his cultivation was restored.


    Three minutester, Tatiana emerged from the thatched hut carrying a snake-skin bag. There was a bright smile on her face. "Nash, sorry to keep you waiting!"


    Nash was speechless. Tatiana approached the stone table and tossed the snake-skin bag into Nash''sp. "Here, these are for you!"


    Nash opened the bag, and his pupils


    dted as a violent throb grew in his chest. Inside the bag were Dragon Emperor Root, Reviving Aster, Thousand Gold Wisteria, Dream Pennywort, Dewberry Posy, and Millenium Tindsia-all the highest quality, millennium-old medicinal herbs. Additionally, there were numerous fist-sized spirit stones too.


    "Tatiana... Do you..." Nash''s voice was hoarse. "Do you understand the value of these herbs?"


    "Any one of these herbs alone has miraculous effects, especially the Millennium Revival Aster. It can bring someone back from the dead. The Dragon Emperor Root can extend life by at least 200 years, and the Millennium Tindsia can neutralize thousands of poisons!" Nash exined.


    "Are they that powerful?" Tatiana widened her eyes, her face filled with regret.


    She looked at Nash cautiously and asked, "In that case, can you give them back to me?"


    Nash took a deep breath and ced the snake-skin bag in front of Tatiana. "Take them back. If outsiders discover these herbs, it could bring disaster to you and your family." After saying this, Nash turned away, worried that he might regret returning the herbs to Tatiana.


    Tatiana burst intoughter and hugged Nash from behind, her voice tender. "Silly, my ancestor already, told me about these herbs. He hid them here back then because of those people. Unfortunately, he passed away 300 years ago from old age."


    Nash shuddered. "And you''re still giving them to me?"


    "You''re my man," Tatiana said softly. "Of course, I''d give the best things to the man I love."


    Nash''s eyes welled up as he turned around to embrace this foolish woman tightly.


    Suddenly, a sinister voice echoed above them. "Hehehe... What a sweet couple."
