In the center of the Misty Canyon, dozens of figures were surrounding a pond of more than 100 feet in three layers. It was called a pond, but in fact, it was covered with weeds, and only some traces of water waves could be vaguely seen. Thick fog continued to escape from the weeds and merged into the surrounding fog.
In the center of the weeds, there was a cluster of strange grasses with roots and roots several feet in diameter. They were more like vines than grasses, and each plant was as big as an adult's arm. There were a total of 100 of them. These strange grasses were much more lush than other weeds. In the center of these hundreds of strange grasses, there were three green fruits, each of which was 10 feet apart and did not get close to each other.
The green fruit was crystal clear and as big as a baby's fist. Although it was still green, the air was filled with bursts of strange medicinal fragrance. This was the legendary Baicao Fruit.
With hundreds of herbs as its roots, a spiritual fruit that can only be born by chance and help a martial master become a martial arts master.
"In just over an hour, the herb fruit will be ripe!"
Beside the pond, an old man in a gray robe stared at the three herb fruits. Although his perception was suppressed, as a high-level martial artist, he could still easily see the three green fruits.
"Herb Fruit is the main ingredient for refining Hundred Herb Pills. These three Hundred Herb Fruits can probably produce more than ten Hundred Herb Pills. By then, maybe I can get one and break through to the Martial Honored Realm." A hint of eagerness flashed in the gray-robed old man's eyes.
Baicao Fruit is the most important thing to these high-level martial masters. It is a medicine that can help them reach the level of Martial Honor. If they rely on their own accumulated wealth to buy it, they don’t know when they will be able to buy it.
But now, in just over an hour, they will be able to get three Hundred Herb Fruits. Even if the sect takes the lion's share, these high-level martial arts masters who have contributed will definitely have a considerable harvest.
Just as the gray-robed old man was expecting the herb fruit to mature as soon as possible, a familiar breath entered his perception range. When he turned around, he saw a burly old man.
"Junior Brother Xiong, haven't you caught that guy yet?" the gray-robed old man frowned.
"No. The suppression of perception here is too severe. That person is good at hiding her whereabouts, and our people can't find her at all. Counting the disciples who died in the previous attack on her two companions, we lost more than 20 people this time." Elder Xiong sighed lightly, a trace of pain flashing across his face.
Because the discovery of the herb fruit was very sudden, although the elders were just bringing the sect disciples to practice and rushed to seal off the Misty Canyon in time, the practitioners they brought were not very strong, and some were even the sect's key disciples. He felt a pain in his heart after losing so many at once.
“Junior Brother Xiong, you have to understand. As long as we get the Hundred Herbs Pill, our Huangquan Sect’s foundation will grow, and we might even be able to enter the level of a first-rate force. Why should you take the loss of a mere disciple to heart?” The gray-robed old man saw Elder Xiong’s painful face and shouted coldly.
"I understand." Elder Xiong nodded slightly. He was certainly aware of this.
For their sects that have been passed down for many years, the loss of dozens of martial masters is nothing. If the loss of dozens of people can give birth to a few martial masters, I believe that the top leaders of the sect will not mind if all the martial masters die.
"The herb fruits are about to mature. For safety's sake, let everyone else withdraw. The herb fruits cannot be lost." The gray-robed old man murmured.
Elder Xiong nodded. This was also the reason why he came back. The herb fruit was about to mature. Compared with hunting down the purple-clothed woman, the herb fruit was the most important thing. You know, they hadn't seen any guardian monsters until now. They would never believe that such a spiritual creature didn't have a guardian monster.
The practitioners of Huangquan Sect guarded the pool carefully. They probably never dreamed that the guardian monster was right in the pool.
In the distant forest, Yang Qi was on the top of a tree, with a panoramic view of everything at the location of the pool, and also saw three unripe herb fruits.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's figure flashed, turned into a stream of light, merged into the mist, and disappeared.
"Well, did I not lie to you?" The purple-clothed woman looked at the returning Yang Qi and said lightly.
"You really didn't lie to me." Yang Qi nodded slightly.
Through his observation just now, he had completely confirmed what the purple-clothed woman said, but just because of this confirmation, he had to admit that the purple-clothed woman was really amazing. She only relied on some guesses to judge his origins, and even used her mouth to persuade him to destroy the Huangquan Sect's plan.
If such a person were placed on the ancient Earth, he would be the best candidate for military strategist. He is meticulous, scheming, and openly plotting, making people actively participate in his plans.
Yang Qi looked at the purple-clothed woman with a look of emotion, "The Huangquan Sect will definitely regret not surrounding and killing you the first time."
"Are you praising me or saying something bad about me?" The woman in purple looked at Yang Qi.
"Of course it's a compliment to you." Yang Qi shrugged.
As long as the purple-clothed woman is not dead, she will never let the Huangquan Sect go easily. In Yang Qi's opinion, the threat posed by the purple-clothed woman is even more terrifying than the natural treasures such as the Baicao Fruit!
The herb fruit was just a natural treasure, and if it was gone, it could be found again, but the purple-clothed woman and the Huangquan Sect were fighting to the death. If an ordinary person faced a second-rate force, it would definitely be a death sentence, but the purple-clothed woman was so smart that the Huangquan Sect might not be able to gain any advantage.
"No matter what, thank you for your healing pills. You are worthy of being a disciple from a powerful force. This kind of healing pills must cost several thousand Yuan crystals, right?" The purple-clothed woman said with a smile.
"I just don't want my partner to hold me back later." Yang Qi chuckled.
The purple-clothed woman had spent the past day being hunted by the Huangquan Sect. Although she had killed many Huangquan Sect disciples, she herself was also seriously injured. Fortunately, Huangquan was now fully focused on the Baicao Fruit, otherwise, even if she cooperated with Yang Qi, she would probably not have had time to heal her wounds.
As time passed, the time for the Baicao Fruit to mature was getting closer, and the Huangquan Sect's defenses became more stringent. Yang Qi and his companions could only hide on the treetops hundreds of feet away and could barely see the situation in the pool.
"The Huangquan Sect is really cautious. They even sent out insects and beasts to block the sky." Yang Qi frowned slightly. Having the sky blocked was not a good thing.
"No matter how careful they are, it's useless. The guardian monster is right under the Baicao Fruit." The woman in purple sneered.
Wow~
As they were talking, there was a sudden movement from the direction of the pond. The weeds covering the pond withered rapidly, and all the life force flowed to the three herb fruits. The medicinal fragrance emitted by the three herb fruits became stronger and stronger, and even Yang Qi and the woman in purple could smell it clearly even though they were hundreds of feet away.
“What a domineering spiritual fruit.” Yang Qi took a deep breath. After the vitality of the weeds was devoured, the hundreds of strange grasses as thick as his arms also withered one after another, providing nutrients for the herb fruit to mature.
Buzz~
The three green fruits emit a purple-green halo, and the herb fruit is ripe. (To be continued)
