My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420 

With a loud boom, the stone pillar sank downward. 

The ground vibrated. 

Then, the juggernaut stone door shuddered violently before it lowered itself. 

Bradley had a bright smile on his face. “So, the switch was hidden in the mud…” 

The stone door had finished lowering itself down. 

A karst cave presented itself before them. The ground was covered in coral-shaped crystals, and bugs that resembled fireflies flew around in the air. 

What was most surprising, though, were the various exotic plants that grew inside the cave. 

These plants twinkled just like actual stars did. 

It looked like a scene from a fairytale. 

“It’s so pretty…” 

Heidi let out an admiring sigh. 

Then, she walked toward the cave. 

A smile appeared on Nico’s face as he took a whiff and said, “It smells wonderful… It smells. like gardenias!” 

He also walked into the cave after finishing his sentence. 

Derek pointed at the pearls of night on the walls and laughed. “We may not be able to take the door with us, but we can take the pearls, right?” 

Bradley’s initial plan was to wait for Nash so they could enter the cave together. However, after seeing everyone enter the cave, he decided to go ahead first because he was worried that the others would get in danger. 

Nash smelt an odd floral fragrance as he returned to the others. 

It smelt like… silver sprouts. 

His master had once taken him to the north to search for this particular herb. 

Just like the name suggested, silver sprouts were silver-colored sprouts that could emit light 

in dark surroundings. The fragrance they produced could be smelled from even a thousand miles away. 

Silver sprouts were usually used to cure cancer and produce pills that could be used to cure other illnesses. They could also be used to cleanse a martial artist’s tendons and bone marrow, which could then help them achieve an even greater level of cultivation. 

He and his master had spent three whole months waiting in the snow so that they would not miss the ripening of the silver sprouts. 

No wonder this guy was deemed the King of Medicine. 

He had somehow been able to successfully cultivate silver sprouts. 

Nash hurried toward the cave and used the smell to guide him toward the silver sprouts, which were nestled amidst a bunch of coral. 

The stems were white, and they released a silver-colored glow. For each one of them, the two leaves at the very top housed a flower shaped like a chrysanthemum. 

This herb was so precious that not even all the money in the world would be enough to pay for it. 

Nash carefully plucked a silver sprout plant up by the root. 

Meanwhile, Bradley and the others stopped before a passageway of gold. 

None of them could stop themselves from gasping when they saw the passageway crafted using nothing but pure gold. 

Melody came from a well-off family, but even she was speechless. 

Bradley drew in a breath. “I wasn’t expecting the King of Medicine to be as rich as he was… It’s even more mind-boggling than any king’s tomb we’ve ever seen!” 

Nico said dazedly, “W-We’re going to be rich!” 

Finn retrieved his dagger and walked farther into the passageway to remove gold from the walls. 

Bradley called out, “Watch out… There might be traps set in the tunnel…”
