Chapter 128: Looking for Medicine (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
“Where is the Taiping Commander? I asked you to lead the way, is this how you lead the way?”

An angry shout came from inside the carriage. Feng Zhengqian got off the carriage and looked at the wheel that was deeply stuck in the gap between the stones with a very ugly expression.

“Emissary Feng, your carriage was moving so relentlessly, I thought you knew the way.”

Su Mu walked slowly from the back of the team and said calmly, “We are poor in Wuling City and have never seen the world. We usually don’t dare to take a carriage when we go into the mountains.

I originally thought that Envoy Feng’s carriage was a legendary treasure, the kind that can fly in the clouds.”

Feng Zhengqian: “…”

If I were fucking qualified to ride a treasure, would I have to run to this remote place to look for elixirs to gain qualifications?

Who the hell knew there wasn’t a decent road in the mountains so close to the city?

Horse-drawn carriages cannot travel on this kind of road.

Damn it, you have to go into the mountains on foot!
“Come here, both of you. We are looking for the rainbow grass now. Tell me, which way should we go?”

Feng Zhengqian left the carriage aside and spoke coldly to Su Mu and the others.

“Emissary Feng, we are no experts in spiritual medicine. You must at least tell us what the colorful grass looks like, what its characteristics are, and in what environment it grows. Only then can we take you to find it.”

Su Mu said calmly, “If you only have a name, I can only take you to Daxing Mountain to try your luck. If you are lucky, you may run into a few monsters to open your eyes.”

“Are you teaching me what to do?”

Feng Zhengqian was a little angry and shouted coldly, “If you know you are an outsider, stop talking nonsense!
Listen carefully, the rainbow grass has thirteen cylindrical curled leaves, which unfold one every hundred years. After unfolding, they turn into neon colors, hence the name rainbow grass.

It is a magical herb unique to the Daxing Mountains, and usually grows in places with a strong smell of foul air…”

“I know a few places where neon grass may grow. They are not far from here. We can look for them one by one.”

Luo Anning spoke.

Among the group, she is the one who is most familiar with the situation outside Daxing Mountain.

When she was still a Baiyi in the Taiping Division, she had been training outside the Daxing Mountains.

“Didn’t they say that other people from the Taiping Division would come to accompany us after we left the city? Where are they?”

Feng Zhengqian looked at the dense forest ahead and frowned.

The 800-li Daxing Mountains are full of monsters and dangers.

Although he was confident, he didn’t want to joke with his own life.

“They are all in the mountains. Because you, Envoy Feng, arrived early, they are still in the mountains and have not had time to return to the city. The department has already sent them a message before they set off.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will be waiting for us when we reach the first supply point in the mountains.”

Su Mu said.

In order to cooperate with the actions of Shennong Baicao Sect this time, Wuling City Taiping Division not only arranged Su Mu and Luo Anning, but also several other Taiping Duwei.

“How far is the supply point? How many Taiping lieutenants have you arranged?”

Feng Zhengqian asked.

“The nearest supply point is about thirty miles away from here. Every Taiping lieutenant in Wuling City has a duty to perform. We are just looking for spiritual medicine outside the Daxing Mountains. The Taiping lieutenant is enough.”

Luo Anning said.

“Who said enough is enough?”

Feng Zhengqian raised his voice and said unhappily, “What can a few Taiping captains do? Your strength is not even as good as mine. If we really encounter a monster, will you protect me, or will I protect you?”

“There is no problem with our strength.”

Luo An Ning explained seriously, “I am at the blood exchange stage, with a blood exchange of 10%, and I am practicing a blood exchange method with eight times the effect.

Captain Su has reached the limit of body tempering. Although he practices the ordinary blood exchange method, he has also broken the limit to achieve eight times the effect, and his strength is still above mine.

There are other Taiping commanders, and we can protect you outside Daxing Mountain.”

“It’s a joke! You only exchanged 10% of your blood, and you practiced the rubbish eight-fold blood exchange method. You want to protect me?”

Feng Zhengqian said angrily, “I am a true disciple of Shennong Baicao Sect, and I practice the Baicao Blood Exchange Method, which can exchange 50% of the blood and has nine times the effect!

I can beat both of you by myself, how can I expect you two to protect me?

It’s simply ridiculous! “

Hearing Feng Zhengqian confronting Su Mu and Luo Anning face to face, He Guangshao felt relieved.

He looked at Su Mu and sneered in his heart.

you have today too?
What if you have reached the limit of your physical strength? What if you have comprehended the artistic conception?

Now he has just practiced an ordinary blood exchange method. Even if he has achieved an eight-fold blood exchange effect with his physique tempered to the limit, what does it matter?

I, He Guangshao, will practice the Herb Blood Exchange Method of the Shennong Herb Sect, and I will also obtain the Blood Strengthening Pill. When the time comes, I will be able to exchange blood tenfold!

This is the difference between you and me!
You are just a peasant. Even if you are lucky enough to be ahead of me temporarily, you will still lose to me in the end. You know nothing about my background!
Luo Anning wanted to step forward to explain that their strength was not weak, especially Su Mu, who had even killed the blood-exchanging killer from Jinfeng Tower.

Before she could finish her words, Su Mu stopped her.

“Emissary Feng, although our realm is not as good as yours, we know the outer area of ​​Daxing Mountain better. We will do our best to avoid the monsters and will not let you fall into danger.”

Su Mu said calmly, “If you are really worried, you can wait at the supply point and we will be responsible for finding all the spiritual medicines you need.

The supply point is well guarded by city defense troops. “

“Leave it to you? With your abilities, how can I dare to leave it to you?”

Feng Zhengqian said coldly, “Do you know how to pick spiritual herbs?

Do you know how to avoid destroying their medicinal properties?
Do you really think it’s just a random act of pulling up weeds?”

“Forget it, there’s no point in arguing with you two little pawns!”

Feng Zhengqian waved his hands and said, “When I return to the clan, I will definitely report to the higher-ups about your Wuling City Taiping Division’s hypocritical behavior!

Now, there is no time to waste, you lead the way and find the neon grass first.”

He casually pointed at Luo An Ning.

Luo Anning glanced at Su Mu, and Su Mu nodded slightly.

She didn’t say anything else and walked forward.

“Envoy Feng, please come in.”

Su Mu said to Feng Zhengqian, and followed Luo An Ning into the forest.

Feng Zhengqian snorted coldly, waved his hand, and followed with He Guangshao and others.

…………

Although Su Mu had been to the outskirts of Daxing Mountain, he had only walked on existing mountain paths before. This time, in order to find elixirs, he really went deep into the mountains.

The dense branches and leaves blocked the view. It was difficult to see the situation from a distance. One could only vaguely hear the roar of wild beasts from time to time in the depths of the forest.

“The monster beasts in the periphery have basically been cleared out by the department, and the remaining ones are just ordinary wild beasts.”

As Luo An Ning walked, he whispered to Su Mu, “But sometimes monsters will come out from the deep mountains, so we still can’t take it lightly.”

“Wherever filthy air gathers, it is very easy for monsters and demons to be born.”

Luo Anning knew that Su Mu had no experience in the mountains, so he seized every opportunity to pass on his experience to him.

“There is a common monster on the outskirts of Daxing Mountain. It is called Corpse Xiao. They are transformed from corpses buried in the ground after being invaded by evil spirits. They like to devour blood.”

Luo An Ning whispered, “The strength of the corpse goblins varies. If you encounter one, you must be very careful.”

Su Mu nodded slightly, feeling that his knowledge reserves had been enriched a lot.

As he was speaking, suddenly a strong stench of decay hit him in the face and was blown into his nostrils by the mountain breeze, with an unbearable stench.

Feng Zhengqian pinched his nose with a look of disgust.

“Emissary Feng, the place ahead is one of the places I mentioned.”

Luo Anning pointed to a deep valley that suddenly appeared in front of him, turned around and said to Feng Zhengqian, “There is a swamp at the bottom of the valley, where filthy demonic energy gathers. In the past, some mountain people who were collecting herbs unfortunately fell into it and eventually turned into corpse goblins.

I once killed the corpse goblins here with my senior brothers, so I know this place. “Feng Zhengqian nodded, pointed at Su Mu and said, “You, go down and see if there is any colorful grass.”

Su Mu didn’t argue and walked to the edge of the cliff.

“careful!”

Luo Anning whispered.

Su Mu nodded and jumped down.

“It would be best if there were a zombie at the foot of the mountain, which would bite the Su guy to death!”

He Guangshao watched Su Mu jump down and cursed in his heart.

“Brother Feng, please sit down and rest for a while.”

He Guangshao took a folding stool from behind, propped it up and placed it on the ground, then said to Feng Zhengqian, “Let them do the miscellaneous work. The professional work of picking spiritual herbs will require your help, senior brother.”

As he spoke, he handed over the water bag.

“Ah.”

Feng Zhengqian nodded slightly, feeling very grateful for He Guangshao’s thoughtful care.

About half an hour later, Su Mu climbed up from the cliff.

“There is no neon grass.”

He shook his head and said.

Feng Zhengqian didn’t say anything. If the colorful grass was so easy to find, there would be no need for the Shennong Herb Sect to send him here specially.

“The next place.”

He stood up and said.

He Guangshao quickly folded the bench again and put it on his back.

“Brother, I’ll clear the way for you!”

He swung the knife in his hand and cut off the branches that blocked his way.

…………

Over the next few days, the group continued to travel through the mountains and forests.

During the day, he searched for elixirs everywhere, and at night he spent the night in the mountains and forests.

Among them, the weakest one has reached the third level of body tempering and can withstand the hardships of sleeping in the open air.

What surprised Su Mu was that although Feng Zhengqian kept complaining, he actually persisted.

Being able to become a true disciple of Shennong Baicao Sect, Feng Zhengqian is not a real fool.

On the seventh day, they successfully found a plant of neon grass.

Excited, Feng Zhengqian rejected Su Mu’s suggestion to go to the supply point to rest and insisted on continuing.

After not encountering any danger for several days, Feng Zhengqian even forgot about the dangers of the Daxing Mountains.

Anyway, for warriors who have successfully tempered their bodies, as long as they have water and food, they can endure the hardship of running around in the mountains and forests.

After a few more days, they successfully found the second elixir, the weeping blood branch.

“You have done a good job. After the task is completed, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.”

Feng Zhengqian was very excited. If he could find all the elixirs and bring them back, he would definitely be rewarded handsomely by the sect.

“Everyone, please work harder. After we find the Mysterious Pearl Grass, we will go back to the supply point to rest.”

Feng Zhengqian was painting a rosy picture for everyone.

The harvest filled him with energy and he no longer complained as he did at the beginning. Even the way he looked at Su Mu and Luo An Ning became much friendlier.

“You two have worked hard. I will ask the Taiping Division for credit for you later.”

Feng Zhengqian said to Su Mu and Luo Anning.

“It’s just a matter of duty.”

Su Mu said lightly.

“Brother Feng, this is what they should do. You don’t have to be too polite to them.”

He Guangshao said like a lackey, “Brother, I know where to find this Xuanzhu grass!”

“Oh? Do you know where it is? Tell me quickly! If you can find the Mysterious Pearl Grass, I will remember your great achievement!”

Feng Zhengqian said happily.

“Brother, just look at me.”

He Guangshao glanced at Su Mu provocatively, with a hint of viciousness flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He Guangshao took the initiative to lead the way. Su Mu and Luo Anning had no objections. They were happy to relax for a while and followed slowly behind the crowd.

As he walked forward, Luo Anning couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“What’s wrong? Is something wrong?”

Su Mu slowed down his pace, walked side by side with Luo An Ning, and asked in a low voice.

“Nothing wrong.”

Luo An Ning shook his head and said, “But this direction goes deep into the Daxing Mountains. We are going a little too deep now.”

There had been no monsters encountered in the past few days, which made everyone feel that the Daxing Mountains were a bit exaggerated.

However, Luo Anning knew that they were just lucky, not that there was no danger in the Daxing Mountains.

Especially once you go deep, you may encounter unexpected dangers at any time.

Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at He Guangshao who was waving a long sword and clearing the way in front, and whispered, “Go a little further. If you still can’t reach the place, remind Feng Zhengqian.”

Luo Anning nodded. She looked around and thought that she might be worrying too much.

They are still on the outskirts, at most a little deeper than she had gone before, but still far from the depths of the Daxing Mountains.

It was getting dark.

He Guangshao suddenly stopped and pointed to a dark cave entrance in front of him and said, “Brother Feng, this is it!”

“here?”

Feng Zhengqian observed his surroundings cautiously.

“Yes, this is it, Brother. When I was a white-robed officer of the Taiping Division, I once trained in the mountains and forests. Once, I passed by here and rested in the cave.

Just now, when you mentioned the black pearl grass, I realized that I had seen some plants deep in the cave, which were exactly the same as the black pearl grass you mentioned. “

He Guangshao explained.

Feng Zhengqian nodded and said, “Junior brother, you are really lucky. Xuanzhu grass is one of the most important purposes of my trip. You have done a great job by finding Xuanzhu grass.

I’ll take care of the Hundred Herbs Blood Transfusion Method, and I promise you’ll get what you want.”

He patted He Guangshao on the shoulder.

“Thank you, senior brother!”

He Guangshao said with great joy, he lowered his head, looking overjoyed, no one noticed that deep in his eyes, there flashed a hint of shame, anger and resentment, accompanied by a deep murderous intent.

“Brother, there is no danger in this cave. I will lead the way, and you can come in with me to pick the black pearl grass.”

He Guangshao walked forward with a knife in hand.

The others followed suit.

Su Mu and Luo An Ning were the last ones to fall behind. Just when they were about to enter the cave, suddenly, a shrill scream was heard from the cave.
