Chapter 51: What Gra.s.s is That?

Following her line of sight, he curiously looked over. He instantly understood, and explained to her. “Currently, little fatty Zhao is Weapon Mountain’s chamber disciple. His talent is pretty good, but he’s too overly anxious, and frequently uses medicinal pellets to raise his cultivation. Although he barely managed to form his Azoth pellet, his realm is still unstable. I really wonder why Reverend Zi Yuan would allow him to come to the Secret Realm.”

“Then what about that one over there?” Zhu Yao pointed to that girly called Lu Cha a little curiously.

“That’s Lu Cha, a chamber disciple of the Medicine Mountain, with the Fire and Earth Dual-Spirit Veins. She had formed her Azoth pellet long before little fatty Zhao.” w.a.n.g Xuzhi’s tone contained a certain amount of praise. “I heard that the Medicine Mountain Lord has the intention to betroth her to little fatty Zhao, and have them form a pract.i.tioner-pairing companions.h.i.+p. However, it had yet to be officially announced, and from the current looks of it…”

w.a.n.g Xuzhi did not say any further, however, Zhu Yao had already understood. So there was actually such a thing going on, it’s no wonder little fatty Zhao stuck to her that much. In the sect, the number of people forming pract.i.tioner-pairing companions.h.i.+ps were not in the minority, and even the Sect Master had a pract.i.tioner-pairing companion as well, however, it was rumored that she had been in closed-door training to break through into Insic, and Zhu Yao simply had not gotten the chance to see her.

Their group consisted of ten people, including her, there were five other female pract.i.tioners. The one leading the group was actually a disciple from the Medicine Mountain, and his name was Chen Yi, a Azoth Paragon. He counted the number of people, made sure that there were no mistakes, before leading them into the forest. “Let’s go!”

Zhu Yao pulled onto w.a.n.g Xuzhi and followed after them, occasionally, she would pay attention to Xiao Yi in front. Because, in the dream, he found the “Wood Spirit” by himself, in other words, the time for the Wood Spirit to appear, is when he’s all alone. She had to put him on a close watch.

Xiao Yi seemed to have realized her gaze, as he turned his head over and gave her what he thought was an elegant smile. Zhu Yao instantly choked, and almost puke.

It was certainly not because Xiao Yi was ugly, rather, as long as he made an expression, the BUG word on his face would distort accordingly. And, as a technical staff, when she saw this word, her first reaction was to definitely think of patching up his face!

However, because of that one smile of his, Zhu Yao instantly felt killing intent, and it was even coming from the few female pract.i.tioners beside him, as their eyes were as though they could not wait to swallow her up alive. Hey, hey, hey, can you girls please not misunderstand? I’m really not interested in your **.

“There should be many ‘Fresh Green Gra.s.s’ nearby, everyone, split up and gather a few of them. We will gather back here in two hours.” Chen Yi took out a piece of map and examined it for a moment, before telling the other nine people. Everyone did not have any objections, and dispersed in all four directions.

Zhu Yao curiously asked. “There’s a map for the Secret Realm as well?”

“That’s a map drawn by our seniors who have entered ‘Tasyoluk’ in the past.” w.a.n.g Xuzhi explained. “Every sect has them, and every Azoth Paragon disciple, before entering the Secret Realm, could receive one from the Sect Master.” This was also why an Azoth Paragon disciple must be the one leading the group.

“However, there’s only the map for the outer area of the Secret Realm. The core of the Secret Realm has many demonic beasts, and it’s very rare for pract.i.tioners to come out of there alive.”

I see. In that case, she temporarily did not have to worry that Xiao Yi would find that ancient ruin first. After all, every sect has copies of this map, and if there’s a ruin, it would have already been found long ago.

“Let us head there and take a look.” w.a.n.g Xuzhi pointed to an empty spot in the east. Fresh Green Herbs was an ingredient for refining pellets, and can be used for making Stopcolor Pellets. These herbs could be found outside, yet, it’s not really usually seen, hence, the price of each was not a small amount. However, it’s different in the Secret Realm. The medicinal herbs here seemed to flourish extremely well, and they had already found three stalks after walking for just two hours.

Zhu Yao did not really have knowledge on pellet refinements, her master did not allow her to eat medicinal pellets casually either. Hence, she was completely ignorant when it came to things related to medicinal herbs. If w.a.n.g Xuzhi had not said that small stalk of gra.s.s were Fresh Green Gra.s.s, she would have almost stepped onto it.

w.a.n.g Xuzhi carefully dug out that small stalk of fresh and tender gra.s.s, and then, placed it into a special container. He explained to her, all spiritual gra.s.s possessed spiritual energy, if they were not placed into unique containers, even if they were brought out, they would become useless due to the loss of spiritual energy.

Zhu Yao felt a little bored from his explanations. In the modern era, she was actually someone that could even cause a cactus which was under her care, to die. She really did not have any love towards plants. Looking all around for a moment, she still could not differentiate those green gra.s.s. However, she was still a studious child, and would ask things that she did not know.

“What’s that stalk of gra.s.s?”

“That’s Purple Moss, it can be used to refine Blood-Growing Pellets.”

“What’s that stalk of gra.s.s?”

“That’s Flowind, a common gra.s.s. It can be used to stop the bleeding of meridians.”

“What about that stalk of gra.s.s?”

“That’s Bishe, it possesses a deadly poison.”

“Then what about that gra.s.s over there?”

“That’s… really just gra.s.s.”

w.a.n.g Xuzhi felt his head aching a little from the questions. Were these not basic knowledge learnt when one just entered the sect? Why was she unable to even recognize medicinal gra.s.s? Was grand ancestral-martial uncle teaching his disciple seriously? “Little Ban, can you be quiet for a moment, that stalk you’re pulling right now is the Fresh Green Gra.s.s.”

“Ou!” Zhu Yao silently retracted her claws of ignorance, and suddenly, her eyes shone. “Hey, Xuzhi, I have a final question?”

“What is it?” w.a.n.g Xuzhi speechlessly turned his head over.

Zhu Yao weakly pointed to the front. “That patch of gra.s.s, why is it glowing?”

w.a.n.g Xuzhi turned to look, and his eyes instantly widened. He saw, on a spot not far away in front of him, there was a large patch of small gra.s.s glowing with silver light. Their leaves were half-translucent, and they looked crystal clear. Looking from afar, it was as though the ground was covered with a layer of gla.s.s floor.

The two of them walked towards it, w.a.n.g Xuzhi carefully scrutinized it for a moment, before he agitatedly said. “These… These are See-Through Leaf Gra.s.s, and there’s such a large patch of them…”

See-Through Leaf Gra.s.s were necessary ingredients in refining Foundation Pellets. Foundation Pellets were very rare medicinal pellets, and even in Ancient Hill Sect, not all Essence Paragons were able to obtain Foundation Pellets, and only very few unique difficult quests would have them as rewards. Although he was already an Azoth pract.i.tioner, and no longer needed it, however, such a big patch of See-Through Leaf Gra.s.s, to the Ancient Hill Sect, it meant that a large number of Essence disciples could break through into Foundation.

“See-through Leaf Gra.s.s?” This name sounded familiar, and she seemed to have heard it from somewhere before. “What’s the use of this gra.s.s?”

“This is an ingredient used to refine Foundation Pellets.” w.a.n.g Xus.h.i.+, a little excitedly, took out the container, and was planning to gather them.

“Wait a minute!” Zhu Yao instantly grabbed onto his hand. “What you’re talking about is the See-Through Leaf Gra.s.s that’s accompanied by the Heavenpulse Lotus?”

w.a.n.g Xuzhi was startled, and after pondering for a moment, he nodded. “Indeed, I have heard that the See-Through Leaf Gra.s.s accompanies the Heavenpulse Lotus, but I have not heard of anyone finding the Heavenpulse Lotus beside the See-Through Leaf Gra.s.s.”

Zhu Yao finally recalled where she heard the term See-Through Leaf Gra.s.s from. It was Medicine Mountain Lord Hong Chou who incidentally said it, and as she was the Medicine Mountain Lord, she was obviously very familiar with medicinal herbs.

Back then, her body was still not of an one-year old infant, so her spirit veins could not be determined yet. That lolicon advanced-stage patient, had once joked about it before. Even if she had the trash Quint-Spirit Vein, Hong Chou could still find a Heavenpulse Lotus that could wash off her veins, and help her clean out a nice Spirit Vein, at the same time, she could receive the See-Through Leaf Gra.s.s that accompanied it, contributing to the sect at the same time.

If translated into human words: Gather a stalk of Heavenpulse Lotus, and you would receive a bunch of See-Through Leaf Gra.s.s.
