The Genius Mage Chapter 372 - The New Illusion

Chapter 372: The New Illusion

“Thank you for the reminder. Perhaps I’ll be able to discover something new.” Audrey smiled gratefully and continued to chat with Lance about the Carol Association.
Audrey also understood more clearly what the Carol Association wanted to do. So they cultivated demonic Qi and even instigated the residents to cultivate, causing the people to be unable to distinguish right from wrong and become their slaves.
This was probably the rhythm of a rebellion.
If the Carol Association ruled spark City, it would become a city of darkness.
Audrey left the City Lord’s mansion very late, but she did not go anywhere. Instead, she entered the otherworldly realm in a flash. When she was outside, she did not have the time to come in to cultivate. Now, it was rare for her to have the time.
The matter of Snow Lotus had already been delayed for more than two months. She had to seize the time to extract the seeds.
Audrey had only planned to cultivate when she came in this time, but she had not expected to feel an abundance of natural elements the moment she entered. As far as the eye could see, the otherworldly realm seemed to have expanded. Not far away, she could faintly see a few mountains.
“What’s that?” Audrey asked Meatball.
“It’s probably a newly unlocked place. It’s been so long that I’ve forgotten what’s there.” Meatball frowned and said somewhat embarrassedly.
Audrey glanced at him helplessly and said, “Why don’t you come with me to take a look?”
“Sure,” Meatball agreed readily.
Audrey walked toward the mountain peak. It seemed like a very close distance, but after walking for a long time, she passed through lush green grass to the foot of the mountain.
Audrey could sense that there were more natural elements here, which could make a cultivator’s body and mind feel more relaxed.
Following the foot of the mountain, they arrived at a valley. There was a small stream flowing in the valley, and the water was very clean. Apart from that, Audrey was surprised to find that many herbs were growing at the foot of the mountain. Some of them were even rare.
Audrey could even name most of the herbs.
She was delighted. She had thought that it was already amazing to be able to grow herbs here. She did not expect that there would be so many rare herbs here.
If these herbs had been growing here from the beginning and she had not discovered them, then the herbs would have existed for as long as the otherworldly realm had existed. Instead, these were herbs that were tens of thousands of years old and were extremely valuable. Their effects were naturally excellent.
As she continued walking in, Audrey was attracted to a purple herb. As it grew there, its body seemed to have its luster and was filled with temptation.
Audrey could not help but walk forward and crouch down to stroke the grass.
However, just as her hand touched the purple grass, the grass instantly withered. Audrey was shocked and immediately regretted it. If she had destroyed this herb, she would have suffered a significant loss.
However, Audrey soon discovered that a purple fruit had grown in the middle of the withered grass. It was also filled with temptation.
But this time, Audrey was much more cautious.
“Do you know what kind of grass this is?” Audrey turned her head and asked Meatball.
It did not know either.
After hesitating for a while, Audrey reached out and plucked the fruit. She looked at it carefully, and it seemed like the fruit was written all over its body saying, “Come and eat it.”
Even just smelling it, Audrey felt that it was very sweet.
Then, she might as well have a taste.
Audrey thought for a moment, and a cunning look flashed across her eyes. She put the fruit to her mouth and took a bite. An apparent sweetness entered her throat. It was very delicious.
Audrey did not dare to eat more. Then, just as she was about to take it back and study it, the fruit seemed to have a spirit. It fell into Audrey’s mouth and entered her body.
Audrey was shocked. Before she could react, the reaction in her body had already come out.
After the sweet taste, her body became very hot. It was as if her internal organs were about to explode.
What was going on?
Her mind was still in a daze, and her vision had become blurry. Audrey shook her head hard, but she still could not resist the power in her body.
“Meatball…” Audrey tried to call out in a low voice. She could vaguely hear Meatball’s anxious voice, but neither of them could do anything.
Slowly, Audrey lost consciousness.
She seemed to have had a very, very long dream. In the dream, she went to an unfamiliar place to cultivate. It seemed like she had the guidance of an expert. Every day was very hard, but she improved rapidly.
Very soon, she had a breakthrough and improved a lot. However, during one of her promotions, she had accidentally fallen.
Audrey suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. It seemed like a palace.
“Where is this place? Where’s Meatball?” She hurriedly got up and searched the palace. Her face was filled with anxiety.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door. Audrey instantly raised her vigilance and stared in the direction of the door. After a moment, the door was pushed open. A man in a black robe walked in.
What shocked Audrey the most was that the man looked exactly like Lance.
“You’re awake.” The man walked up and said gently, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
“Who are you?” Audrey still found it unbelievable, but she forced herself to calm down and asked cautiously.
The man chuckled. Unlike Lance, he looked somewhat similar.
