Shen Yanxiao was standing in the courtyard without getting any instructions. She played the role of an ignorant little devil girl perfectly as she dumbly stood in place, motionless.

Moments later, Qing Jun came out of the room with slightly wrinkled brows and looked at Shen Yanxiao, who was standing still outside.

"What are you doing there?" Qing Jun's voice was a bit cold.

"I don't know what to do." Shen Yanxiao shrank her neck and looked very afraid.

Qing Jun's frown deepened. He looked at Shen Yanxiao and said after a moment of silence, "Follow me."

After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for her to respond.

This guy has a rather awkward personality. Shen Yanxiao thought as she immediately followed.

This courtyard was very large. Passing through the front pavilion, Qing Jun took Shen Yanxiao to an herb garden.

The underworld’s environment was not suitable for growing herbs, but Shen Yanxiao noticed that around this make-shift herb garden, there were some incense burners; a faint fragrance overflowed from those burners, which dispelled the devil energy in the air.

"Water these three times a day, not too much. Go there at night and clean up the room. The rest is not for you to take care of." Qing Jun simply stated. His frowning brows did not relax a bit and he had always kept a certain distance from Shen Yanxiao. As the devil soldier said, he had a strong addiction to cleanliness.

Shen Yanxiao answered submissively and shifted her gaze to the room that Qing Jun pointed to.

"There are rooms on the second floor of the front courtyard. You can find a room for yourself. Don't bother me if there’s nothing important." With that, Qing Jun entered the room where Shen Yanxiao had been ordered to clean. He did not give Shen Yanxiao any chance to speak and closed the door directly.

Shen Yanxiao looked at the large herb garden and rubbed the tip of her nose.

She was very familiar with taking care of herbs. As a pharmacist, she was very clear about the characteristics of herbs. This matter was a piece of cake for her.

Qing Jun was still busy. Shen Yanxiao did not know whether he was hiding in the house to observe her, the maid who had just been sent to him, or whether he might be fiddling with some things in the room. To be on the safe side, Shen Yanxiao did not do anything special. She just sat on the edge of the herb garden and observed the herbs.

This observation, however, brought Shen Yanxiao a surprise. These herbs had very special properties. Half of them were highly toxic herbs and were extremely rare. Many of those here, Shen Yanxiao had only seen in books. Besides some poisonous herbs, there were also some herbs that were very precious, and the use of those herbs were very disparate.

This herb garden could be said to be very precious. Even Lord Shen Yanxiao, who sat above the Barren Land, had not seen many of these herbs with her own eyes.

"Soul refining herb!" Shen Yanxiao suddenly discovered a very conspicuous small herb in the middle of the herb garden.

Ye Qing once told Shen Yanxiao that the soul refining herb was the most precious herb in the whole world. For thousands of years, only one plant had been found in the entire Radiance Continent. This herb would wither when it fell to the ground and could not be carried at all. As long as it was picked up, it would become dry and shrivelled in less than half a day. However, the efficacy of this herb was extremely strong. Even if it were not refined, it could have the effect of reviving the dead, even when just swallowed directly. Even someone who was giving their last breath could be saved by it.

Because the soul refining herb was very rare, the records about it were also very rare.
