The 10 Rows of Fields

The Hundred Blossom Valley was separated into 10 rows, each row housing a different type of plant.

The types they had separated it under needed to be both broad and specific at the same time. Judging from what Alex had been through in the last 15 days, they had generally managed to do exactly that.

The first row had been herbs. It contained anything from grasses, weeds, and tiny bamboo trees to small patches of flowers like the Spirit Cleansing Lily.

Once past that row, they arrived at the 2nd row which was full of shrubs.

These were plants that were much taller than herbs and were a little woody. Tall bushes of flowers, trees of berries, and almost anything that didn't grow to become a large tree grew here.

Leaves, fruits, flowers, roots, even the stalks; anything and everything here could end up being important alchemy ingredients and Alex took whatever he could get his hands on.
