Zou Zhiyong lowered his head, his expression showing a bit of nervousness and guilt.
"I seem to have been discovered by them..."
"What did you say?" Luo Xiyao's voice suddenly became sharp, and her sharp eyes locked on the man, "Were you discovered? How could you be discovered?"
"I don't know either." Zou Zhiyong shook his head, "I was guarding there well, but suddenly I was knocked unconscious. I just woke up..."
Luo Xiyao's expression changed, "Who knocked you out?"
"I didn't see it..." Zou Zhiyong said, "But I noticed that Mu Zhiqing seemed to be not far away from me."
Luo Xiyao's face darkened, and she already knew the result in her heart. Mu Zhiqing must have done this!
"What a waste!" Jia Nianrong cursed and asked, "Then has your mark been discovered?"
Zou Zhiyong glanced at Jia Nianrong displeasedly, it was enough for Luo Xiyao to scold him, but this woman was nothing, she dared to scold him.
He was already angry and his anger was rising, and his words became more angry.
"No!"
Luo Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the marking was not discovered, it would be fine...
…
In the evening, Mu Zhiqing and her group finally arrived at the place marked on the map.
"I originally thought I wouldn't be able to arrive until the evening, but fortunately I avoided a lot of troubles along the way, so I arrived early." Chu Mingjun chuckled.
Everyone's faces were also filled with smiles, and they began to look at their surroundings.
This is a mountain stream. The size of the stream is not small. It flows from a distance. It is surrounded by rocks, many of which are taller than people. At first glance, it looks very clear and pure.
"The environment here is very suitable for the growth environment of Yunlianzhi." Mu Zhiqing said.
Mu Yunyan looked around, "Indeed, but this area is not small. Yunlianzhi likes to live near water, and it is small. It is difficult to distinguish it among ordinary weeds."
Looking around, in addition to the running water, there are many flowers and plants around the mountain stream.
Even if they were a group of nine people, if they wanted to search the entire area, it would not be possible in a short time.
"Now that we are all here, everyone should be patient and search slowly." Chu Mingjun chuckled, "If we can really find it, we will make a lot of money from this trip."
Everyone nodded with deep sympathy. The price of a cloud lotus branch is not low. Even if it is divided among nine people, they can still get a lot.
"Then look for it."
Everyone began to shuttle through the mountain stream. Although the name of Yunlianzhi sounds very nice, in fact it has nothing to do with lotus. On the surface, it looks like a very inconspicuous grass, but the branches and leaves are still somewhat different.
As alchemists, Mu Zhiqing and Mu Yunyan naturally know it very well. Chu Mingjun and Ji Xiangming also know it, but the others seem to have only a partial understanding of it.
After Mu Zhiqing's description, they could only search roughly. If they felt that a certain plant looked similar, they would bring it to someone who knew it and ask if it was the same.
"Isn't this the same?"
After being denied again, Li Zhengchu also showed a strong look of helplessness.
"I think this one fits your description quite well. How could it not be?"
Ji Xiangming was amused by these words, "You brought such a big plant over, you know it's impossible even if you think about it.
If the cloud lotus branches are so conspicuous, wouldn't anyone who passes by easily spot them? "
