However, Yang Qi himself understood that he was lucky to get two Baicao Fruits under such circumstances. If the Baicao Fruits had not been entangled by the strange grass, he would not have been able to get the two Baicao Fruits.
Although I had seen the herb fruit from a distance before, this was the first time I saw it up close. The herb fruit was about the size of a baby's fist and was green all over. However, when it matured, it had an extra layer of green halo and emitted bursts of strange fragrance.
“It is worthy of being a spiritual object of heaven and earth that can help peak martial arts practitioners to reach the level of martial arts master. Just from the fragrance of the medicine, I can feel the energy in my body circulate a little faster.” Yang Qi exclaimed with admiration. This kind of natural treasure is enough to drive any martial arts master crazy.
In order to obtain the Hundred Herb Fruit, the Huangquan Sect not only spent a lot of effort to kill three purple-clothed women and block the Misty Canyon, but also had a fierce battle with the dragon crocodile. But in the end, out of the three Hundred Herb Fruits, one was swallowed by the dragon crocodile, and two were taken away by Yang Qi.
"This is..." Suddenly, Yang Qi's gaze fell on the rhizome below the Baicao Fruit, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
“Is this a lark stem?”
Yang Qi exclaimed in a low voice, he had only seen the Bai Ling Stem in the classics of Tianjian Sect.
The larkspur stem is even rarer than the herb fruit, because the larkspur stem is not necessarily present. The larkspur stem is born when the herb fruit matures, absorbing the life essence of hundreds of strange herbs, and is used to help the herb fruit mature. Often when the herb fruit matures, the essence of the larkspur stem will be exhausted. Therefore, it is difficult to preserve it. Only when the herb fruit has enough life essence to mature and does not consume the power of the larkspur stem can the larkspur stem be preserved.
Yang Qi had never thought that the Hundred Herb Fruit matured without consuming the essence of the Lark Stem, allowing the Lark Stem to be preserved. No wonder he was unable to break the withered strange grass when he pulled it.
The larkspur stem was extremely tough and not so easy to break. Fortunately, the larkspur stem was only two feet long, and the dragon crocodile just held the other end of the larkspur stem. Yang Qi cut off the withered strange grass with one sword, and then took away the entire larkspur stem and two Hundred Herb Fruits. Otherwise, the sword might not be able to cut off the larkspur stem.
“The Lark Stem can improve cultivation, strengthen the body, and increase the foundation. A Lark Stem was once auctioned at the Treasure Pavilion and was bought by the royal family for two million crystals!” Yang Qi’s mind flashed through records about the Lark Stem. Two million crystals was not the market price of the Lark Stem. It was because of the power of the royal family that other forces dared not compete, so it was sold for two million crystals.
However, the royal family did not pressure too much. Even if the auction was normal, the price would be at most 200,000 or 300,000 yuan more. Otherwise, the owner of the lark stem would never agree to the auction. The reputation of the Treasure Pavilion over the years could not be ruined by a lark stem.
"I've made a fortune this time!" A hint of joy appeared on Yang Qi's face. The lark stem was definitely an unexpected surprise, and it even made him happier than getting three Hundred Herb Fruits.
The herb fruit is indeed precious, but its effect is single, it only increases the chance of breaking through to the Martial Honor realm. For Yang Qi now, the Martial Honor realm is still a bit far away, and he can't use the herb fruit for the time being. But the Bai Ling stem is different, he can use it now to improve his own strength!
He picked two herb fruits and cleaned out the lark stems. After waiting for about an incense stick of time, a figure came flying in the distance. It was the purple-clothed woman who was working with Yang Qi.
"I didn't expect you didn't leave with the Baicao Fruit." The purple-clothed woman was a little surprised when she saw Yang Qi.
The herb fruit was worth more than one million yuan. For this fruit, Huangquan Sect lost more than 30 martial masters, and the two elder brothers of the purple-clothed woman also died in the Misty Valley. Yang Qi could have left after getting the herb fruit, but he was still waiting for her at the agreed place, which surprised her a little.
"I don't want to be targeted by you." Yang Qi curled his lips.
The reason why he was waiting here was, firstly, that he did not want to have an enemy relationship with the woman in purple, and secondly, he had already agreed. If he went back on his word, it would have some impact on his state of mind. After all, he was not a devil who was fickle.
"This is your Baicao Fruit." Yang Qi took out a Baicao Fruit and handed it to the woman in purple.
"Thank you." The purple-clothed woman nodded slightly. The Hundred Herb Fruit was of great help to her. If she wanted to avenge her two brothers, she would have to fight to the death with the Huangquan Sect. Only with the Hundred Herb Fruit would she have enough resources and opportunities to become a Martial Master.
"By the way, my name is Tang Qin." The woman in purple seemed to remember something and looked at Yang Qi.
"Yang Qi." Yang Qi smiled indifferently.
"I hope we will have a chance to meet again in the future." Tang Qin smiled and continued, "Be careful. When I left just now, Huangquan Sect was searching the surrounding area on a large scale. You'd better leave this area."
Yang Qi nodded slightly. The Huangquan Sect would definitely not give up. However, with his flying martial arts, he was invincible and there was no need to worry too much. As long as the Huangquan Sect searched for a while and couldn't find him, they would naturally give up.
Whoosh~
Tang Qin's figure flashed and turned into a residual shadow, disappearing into the dense forest.
"Really free and easy."
Looking at Tang Qin leaving, Yang Qi smiled, then moved and headed towards the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range.
…
Huangquan Sect suffered such a huge loss, losing many practitioners, but did not get the Hundred Herb Fruit. They immediately searched the area around the Misty Canyon and took down any suspicious practitioners they found.
Unfortunately, Yang Qi and Tang Qin had already left, and the Huangquan Sect was doomed to have no gains. Instead, the Huangquan Sect's overbearing behavior attracted the dissatisfaction of many practitioners. Many conflicts broke out because of this, and both the adventurers and the Huangquan Sect suffered considerable losses. After a day of searching, the Huangquan Sect did not find any signs and had to give up the search.
"How are we going to explain to the sect leader for the loss of so many disciples?" the grey-robed old man said gloomily.
If they had obtained the Hundred Herb Fruit, they would not have to worry about anything. Even if all the martial sect members under their command died, the sect master would still reward them. But now, the loss was so great that even if they had obtained nothing, they, the elders, would be punished if they returned to the sect.
“It’s not difficult to explain to the sect leader, but as for that side…” Elder Xiong sighed softly, with a hint of fear on his face.
Hearing this, the gray-robed old man couldn't help but fall silent. This time, they didn't just have to give an explanation to the sect leader. If the other party didn't give a satisfactory answer, they would probably be in a worse situation.
"It's all because of that little bastard. If he hadn't interfered, we wouldn't have ended up like this." Elder Ding on the side said with a look of resentment.
If Yang Qi hadn't rushed out at the last moment, they would have suppressed the dragon crocodile. Even if they couldn't get three Hundred Herb Pills, at least two would be no problem. But now, they got nothing. If they return to the sect, they will be punished. All of this is Yang Qi's fault!
"If I meet that little bastard again, I will grind him to dust!" said the gray-robed old man with a ferocious look on his face.
Even Elder Xiong, who was standing next to him, had a cold light flashing in his eyes. Among the three people, he suffered the greatest loss. Two of his disciples died tragically. These were his most beloved disciples! (To be continued)
