The Ancient Realm Goddess
Hunting Events
Aside from eating and sleeping, Qing Yue'er spent her days training. His cultivation was still stagnant in the 4th level of the earth realm. Not knowing why, it seemed that soaking in the Yin Yang pond already could not help him improve his cultivation. Perhaps he should look for other resources capable of helping to increase his cultivation.
All along, he had expected the Jiang Clan to come to him, yet until now they had still been silent without doing anything. Could something happen to them?
But he didn't think too much about it. Right now he was looking forward to the spiritual herb hunting event that would be carried out by all students of Xinfeng Academy. Spiritual herbs are plants that have spiritual qi essence in them. If one were to refine it, it would be able to help increase cultivation.
However spiritual herbs have their own nature. Catching them is not easy. Spiritual herbs were able to hide from human existence, they could run at lightning speed, some were even capable of attacking humans.
The hunt for spiritual medicine is carried out once in every year. Its location is on the 8th peak which is only touched once a year. This peak should not be entered by anyone except those who are allowed.
The registration for spiritual herb hunting was at the top of the main. Right now Qing Yue'er had come to register herself at once to return the Shadow Boxing technique book in the Martial Hall.
All registration means is to write a name in the book and take a special token. There are no special officers or elders guarding the registration location.
Just writing down her name, Qing Yue'er felt a pat on her back. He turned his head and found a young girl who was smiling sweetly at him.
From her face, Qing Yue'er could see that she was only two years old. But the girl was wearing a uniform that had a pattern on her chest. That means he's a senior here.
"Hey, do you want to join me in tomorrow's show?"
"Why should I join you?"
The girl smiled brighter. "Of course, because capturing spiritual herbs is not easy. So if we were in a group wouldn't it be easier?"
"I am Zu Ruochu. What's yourname?"
"Do I have to introduce myself?"
Zu Ruochu nodded. "Of course, what should I call you? Pretty guy?" He laughed and made the people around him look up.
"I'm Qing Yu. I don't think I need to join you, I can do it myself." Qing Yue'er smiled at him.
"Then let me join you." The girl held Qing Yue'er's hand and pulled her away.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Qing Yue'er released her hand.
"Where are you going? I'll go with you."
Qing Yue'er, "..."
"I'm going to the Martial Hall."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Qing Yue'er was unwilling to fuss over this, after all they were both female.
Upon arrival at the Martial Hall, the two of them ascended to the 3rd floor. Qing Yue'er again met the officer guarding the counter. The attendant smiled at Qing Yue'er's arrival.
"Did you finally give up learning it?"
Qing Yue'er simply smiled meaningfully. That smile made the officer think that Qing Yue'er gave up learning the Shadow Fist technique.
"Good, you can understand your own limits." The officer was happy. He glanced at Zu Ruochu who was behind Qing Yue'er, then nodded politely at her.
Qing Yue'er looked at that courtesy. He thought, maybe Zu Ruochu is a talented senior disciple here so they respect him.
"Let's go quickly, you should prepare yourself for the spiritual herb hunt tomorrow." Zu Ruochu pulled Qing Yue'er's hand away. He looked so excited like a child.
"All right."
The next day the sky looked very bright. Thousands of disciples stood in groups in front of the entrance of the 8th peak. Each group consists of at least 15 to 20 people.
Qing Yue'er walked carrying two bags. One was full of food, the other was empty to be used for a place to store spiritual herbs.
"Qing Yu!" Zu Ruochu's voice sounded from far away calling out to him. He waved to her. "Come here!"
Qing Yue'er felt helpless. Since yesterday, the girl has been clinging to him. If it wasn't for her assenting her wish, maybe the girl would have stayed in her room all night.
Qing Yue'er walked over to Zu Ruochu. He saw that there were two other people standing next to the girl.
"Qing Yu, we only have 4 people in the group. This was Mu Feng and Mu Qing." Zu Ruochu introduced the two people to him.
Qing Yue'er nodded at them as a greeting. "4 people are more than enough isn't it?"
Actually Qing Yue'er was confused. He had indeed seen many students flocking. But compared to the other groups, Zu Ruochu's group was indeed very few. Is capturing spiritual herbs so difficult? Why should they form a group?
Qing Yue'er did not know that capturing spiritual herbs should rely on absolute strength. If they were to catch on individually, then it would be extremely difficult.
