After listening to Viktoria and understanding a little about this ce, Lothur followed in her footsteps for a few minutes until they reached the central area of this maze.


    "Lothur, where we are now, is about the shortest distance from the items left in our treasury after so many years." Shemented as she looked at the surroundings, where there were graves and small tombs on the sides.


    Everything was very dark, not only because of theck of ambient lighting but also because the construction itself was made of a type of ck material.


    Other than that, the noise of insects and small animals was particrly loud in that ce because the space there was a littlerger than the narrow passages they had passed through.


    Lothur looked at the surroundings and noticed some objects near the tombs and graves, imagining that the artifacts of this treasure had been buried with their former owners.


    "Are members of your family still buried here when they die?" He asked her in curiosity.


    "Some, yes." Viktoria nodded at him. "But only those who reach the 3rd stage have that right. Also, only those with Frost family blood can have the privilege since the Memory Crystal doesn''t allow outsiders."


    "I see..." He muttered before asking about what was in there. "You have entered here before, right? Do you know what''s in this ce? Are there any consumable resources?"


    Viktoria then answered him. "I''ve been in a few times, but I can''t say I know every item. There are things here that, at first nce, seem worthless, such as a piece of wood. But there is no guarantee that these items are not ancient artifacts that have been semi-damaged or degraded by time."


    "Since there is no relic specialist or appraiser in our family, as well as we have lost some of the records of this ce, I don''t know all the artifacts here."


    Relic specialists or appraisers were professionals in the same field of expertise who identified artifacts'' value, quality, and history, in general, characteristics.


    That was an extremelyplicated profession that required a high level of Intelligence because only by using the Natural Laws could one reach urate conclusions.


    So teaching this profession was somewhatplicated, with few willing to do it, as few had the minimum ability to do it.


    Because of this, a decadent organization like the Frost family would not have someone like this on their side!


    But this was not something extreme. There were less than ten such individuals in the entire empire!


    Viktoria then continued. "Anyway, there are some special nts that grow around here that can be eaten or used in products. But a single leaf or seed from them will be considered one of the items you are entitled to."


    "Are you sure you will want it? There are weapons here that are far more valuable than something so simple."


    "Let me see first." He said without rushing. "If it has no value, I''ll let the opportunity pass."


    Hearing this, Viktoria wasted no time and led the way to the little nts capable of growing in the darkness of this ce.


    But these were not typical nts that needed light to survive. Instead, these were spiritual medicines, living beings capable of surviving through the spiritual energy avable in the environment.


    As many experts above level 16 had been buried in this ce, the soil there was quite nutritious, and thews were well concentrated.


    Lothur and Viktoria did not know it, but this tomb had been built with a special type of block, capable of containing most of thews and spiritual energy within this ce.


    Since some of the spiritual energy andws of even a soul cultivator were stored in their body, over time, this ce had be ''richer'' with the ancestors of the Frost family.


    That enabled the growth of a few nts that could survive in environments devoid of light, such as this space.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Anyway, unaware of this, Lothur and Viktoria did not take long to get close to the little nts in question, which were not far from the center of thebyrinth.


    That was where the most powerful experts of this family had been buried.


    Upon arriving there, Lothur immediately saw the little creeping nts with purple leaves and red fruits growing around what appeared to be a small vegetable garden.


    ''It seems that the creators of this ce or the experts who came after them nted these things...''


    Like on Earth, life in the cultivation world did note up from nothing. It naturally had an origin. So, a ''hostile'' ce like this would not harbor any kind of life, and hardly anything would grow there if someone did not nt it.


    It was even possible for people to bring seeds to this ce in their shoes, and they would grow over time. But given the harshness of this space, few organisms would survive and grow.


    Besides, there were only nts in thisbyrinth in small ces made to harbor nt life. So Lothur was correct in thinking that.


    He then crouched next to one of these little nts and carefully approached it after receiving Viktoria''s consent.


    She would probably warn him to be careful if it was something poisonous. But since she did not warn him about the risk of touching it with his hands, he searched for that nt for the system to give him the information about it.


    [Night Breeze] [Rank: quasi-Silver]


    [Introduction: the Night Breeze is a natural herb from the far north of Concordia, an area near the Old Demon Spring, characterized by its intense darkness and presence of negativews.]


    [Feature: it can be used for the production of Silver-grade pills or potions, or consumed, generally having the effects: creating an affinity to darkness, improving Soul attribute from 20% to 40%, may or may not enhancing Intelligence between 15% and 25%, refines killing intent.]


    [Detail: can be consumed with resources of simr nature, with a chance of their effects and sess rate increasing by 5% due to synergy.]


    [Reminder 1: due to its action on the Soul, the one who ingests it will go through a state of temporary weakness and will not be able to use this attribute for 48 hours.]


    [Reminder 2: because it contains Natural Laws rted to death, there is a 5% chance that one who consumes it will die by ingesting it away from a suitable environment.]


    ''Fuck...'' Lothur opened his mouth in surprise as he noticed so much about this little nt that seemed like amon resource on the surface.


    Viktoria then listened to his question. "Dear wife, have you ever tried using these spiritual medicines?"


    She then answered. "No. We have an old agreement with a foreign organization that buys these fruits when we are willing to sell them. So when one of our members can harvest one of these and doesn''t want to risk ingesting them, we exchange with that organization."


    "So you don''t know what it is capable of?" He asked.


    Viktoria replied in an embarrassed manner. "No, we only know it is interesting for cultivators who follow evil cultivation. Since no one in our family has an affinity for it, we have never tried it."


    "Why? Are you interested in doing that?"


    ...
