Chapter 1438: Chapter 1438: Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb
“Fang Bai, what do you think? Should we turn back after advancing three hundred li, or continue forward?”
Sun Lin turned her head to seek Fang Bai’s opinion.
As the leader of this cultivation team, Sun Lin could easily make the decision on her own. However, Fang Bai was her lifesaver and possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, destined to achieve more in the Martial Dao than she could. Therefore, Sun Lin felt it very necessary to hear Fang Bai’s opinion, as a sign of respect for him.
Fang Bai thought for a mont and said, “Let’s proceed as we go! If there’s a chance to go deeper, we might as well see more; after all, it’s not easy to go out and explore like this.”
All four of Sun Lin’s team knew that Fang Bai’s “if there’s a chance” ant not encountering powerful Spirit Beasts or dangerous situations. If the road ahead was difficult, they would have to turn back.
The five ford a formation that could be both defensive and offensive, moving forward at a steady pace, carefully observing the surrounding mountains and terrains along the way, looking for Spiritual dicine, Spirit Stones, or other usable special materials.
White Bone Gully was famous for being a place where many Martial Artists ca to hone their skills. Any cultivation resources like Spirit Stones and Spiritual dicine found along the way had mostly been picked or taken.
Only a small amount of Spiritual dicine, Spirit Stones, or other cultivation resources, located in perilous places within White Bone Gully that were difficult for Martial Artists to access, remained preserved.
Therefore, to obtain more rare cultivation resources, one had to continually venture deeper into the rarely reached depths of White Bone Gully.
After entering White Bone Gully for less than a hundred li, they began to see skeletons, so of Martial Artists, others of Spirit Beasts.
So of the bones were very old, corroded by ti, mottled, and incomplete.
While so bones were new, with flesh still clinging to them, making them look terrifying.
“Martial Artists and Spirit Beasts who fall in White Bone Gully, over ti, their tendons and flesh turn to dust, rging with the nearby rocks and soil, becoming excellent material for the growth of Spiritual dicine. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why there’s so much Spiritual dicine in White Bone Gully. And the abundance of Spiritual dicine attracts many Spirit Beasts to reside here…”
“There is Spiritual dicine to pick, Spirit Beasts to slay, Spirit Stones, and special materials to collect. How could Martial Artists not be fond of it? Over ti, White Bone Gully beca a favored place for Martial Artists to cultivate. Perhaps right now in White Bone Gully, besides our team, there are others too!”
As the five moved forward continuously, their chances of encountering Spirit Beasts also increased. While Sun Lin heightened her vigilance, she kept talking with Fang Bai and the others to ease the increasing tension among them.
However, the piles of bones appearing along the way made Sun Lin and the others more and more solemn, the tension in their hearts escalating.
Huang Zhong was so nervous that the hand holding the Spiritual Artifact trembled incessantly.
“There’s Spiritual dicine!”
“Haha, it’s the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb, the main ingredient for refining the Creation Pill!”
“The herb age is about seven thousand years, belonging to the mid-level Holy Grade Spiritual dicine!”
“There are six stalks. Each of us can have one, and there will still be so left!”
“Naturally, the extra one goes to Senior Sister Sun!”
…
In a region lush with vegetation, in a crevice on the northern side of the gorge, Fang Bai and the others found six stalks of Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb growing together.
The Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb is the main ingredient for refining the Creation Pill. It is about three feet high, composed of five human-shaped leaves, each leaf a different color, hence the na “Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb.”
The Creation Pill can greatly enhance a Martial Artist’s chances of advancing to the next level. Many Martial Artists use the pill’s power when they are not fully confident of advancing on their own.
Therefore, among all the Spirit Pills in the world, the Creation Pill is one of the top-tier Spirit Pills.
And the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb, which can refine the Creation Pill, is naturally extrely precious and valuable.
Finding even one Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb is typically difficult. Discovering six at once is even rarer, so it’s no wonder Zheng Hong and others were so excited.
Huang Zhong let out odd exclamations of excitent, rushing toward the six stalks of Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb imdiately.
“Junior Brother Huang, be wary of Spirit Beasts!”
Sun Lin shouted a reminder.
Those six Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs were not ordinary Spiritual dicine. How could there not be fierce beasts guarding them?
Having charged several dozen yards forward, Huang Zhong skidded to a halt, his eyes scanning the area around the six stalks of Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb, looking for any fierce beasts.
“There’s… there’s no Spirit Beast guarding around here!”
After observing for a while and not sensing any Spirit Beast presence, Huang Zhong turned his head, smiling relaxedly at Sun Lin and the others.
“So powerful Spirit Beasts are skilled at concealing their presence, beyond the usual Martial Artist’s detection. So it’s still better to be cautious.”
Sun Lin said as she walked over to stand beside Huang Zhong, along with Fang Bai, Shi Ming, and Zheng Hong.
Like Huang Zhong, Sun Lin and the others also observed around the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb to see if there were any Spirit Beasts present, but apart from Fang Bai, none of them found anything.
However, Sun Lin and the others dared not act recklessly.
They knew well that just because they couldn’t sense the Spirit Beasts didn’t an there weren’t any nearby.
There were two possibilities in such cases:
One, the Spirit Beast guarding the Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb was adept at hiding its presence and lurking in a covert area, making it difficult for them to discover.
Two, the Spirit Beast guarding the herb was much stronger than all five of them.
Normally, Spirit Beasts guarding Spiritual dicine would not easily appear. They would only erge from hiding for a deadly attack if they deed their guarded herbs were being intruded upon.
“Why don’t I go out and test it, lure the Spirit Beasts out.”
Shi Ming, eager to try, said as he looked at the six Five-Color Human-Shaped Herbs.
“Let do it.”
Sun Lin stepped forward two steps and said, “My cultivation level is slightly stronger than yours. If we encounter a Spirit Beast attack, I’m more confident in handling it.”
At this mont, a blue sword light, accompanied by the sound of a dragon’s roar, pierced through the air, landing directly on the ground in front of the five’s feet.
Imdiately afterward, five figures rushed from behind Fang Bai and the others, arriving in an instant.
All five were dressed in uniformly styled blue robes, with a Furnace Cauldron for refining Spirit Pills embroidered on the left chest part, emanating Wood Spirit Qi.
With just one glance, Sun Lin knew all five were disciples from dicine King Mountain.
The five disciples from dicine King Mountain included four n and one woman.
Among them, the four n were Foundation Establishnt Experts and were inner court disciples of dicine King Mountain.
The only woman was a Half-Step Foundation Establishnt Expert and belonged to dicine King Mountain’s external courtyard disciples.
Needless to say, the five disciples of dicine King Mountain, like them, ca to White Bone Gully for cultivation.
However, it seed they had co at the wrong ti!
Sun Lin knotted her brow and a worried gleam flashed across her eyes.
The five disciples from dicine King Mountain clearly possessed much greater strength than them. If they intended to seize the herbs by force, Fang Bai’s team couldn’t even dream of getting a single Five-Color Human-Shaped Herb.
