The Naughty Senior Sister
Senior Brother In The Middle of Drug Ingredient Search
On the fourteenth day in the southern continent, Yan Xu was in the depths of the chaos forest. He ran for 600 kilometers to the southwest. Finally, he arrived at the territory marked on his map in time.
'This region has a radius of about 250 kilometers.'
The terrain was extremely dangerous as there were hills, swamps and the like. Yan Xu had to be careful while searching for the necessary medicinal ingredients so as not to get lost or cooped up somewhere, moreover the ferocious beasts as well as poisonous insects became even more ferocious.
Yan Xu continued to be cautious during his search in this one week.
He continued searching with clues from the book he had seen while in the library, avoiding some natural traps as well as phenomena that would activate the ancient formation array to trap prey.
After searching for seven days in a row, he found all sorts of poisonous medicinal ingredients and some spirit herbs. However, he still had not found any trace of a cultivator passing by around.
During the day, the black clouds began to spread their wings, sweeping across the blue sky and bringing down rain whose every drop contained a deadly poison.
From time to time, the rain was getting heavier, making Yan Xu have to stop his steps because the protective aura of the talisman he used since the rain had been eroded in half. Forcing to continue his search, would be tantamount to wasting existing resources.
He immediately searched for a steep cliff using his divine consciousness, then used the blue wood heart technique to make a hole of a stopover.
The hole was at least able to contain six adult human cultivators, he also added some decorations with the roots of the vines due to the blue wood heart technique.
Yan Xu had already laid down several formation arrays as a cheat and sharpened his divine consciousness, still feeling unsettled as he had yet to carry out the cleanup of General Lao and Mo Li's minions.
In seven days, he had searched almost every corner of the region. Unfortunately, he still had not discovered the 8000-year-old immortal ginseng root.
'One week .. I was looking for a medicinal ingredient that didn't know if it really existed or not in this world, what a joke that wasn't funny! However, the items I've obtained have always been proven to be true.'
'So why is this one hiding so deep? Is he looking to play hide-and-seek with this ancestor?! Son, even though this ancestor is immortal, the Ancestor is also a human being with a heart and mind that can be tired of looking for you!'
Yan Xu chuckled amusedly with his own thoughts. One of the activities he disliked the most was searching for objects, sometimes he was unable to find any obvious items placed by Junior Sister beside him!
He also often reminded his junior sister to always return borrowed goods to their original place, maybe because of his difficult habit of finding goods, he always had trouble every time they changed positions.
'Is this a disease? God's curse? Ptoey! Humans are indeed the most perfect living beings, but they also have flaws!'
Yan Xu sighed tiredly and immediately stopped his thinking. He crossed his legs and began to relax his body as well as mind, in order to return to perfect condition.
From the book he read in the library, this region is clearly illustrated through the sentences contained in the explanation of the book.
Coming to the southern continent in search of immortal ginseng roots was a goal that he could not ignore because the medicinal ingredients had various uses and could be bred to the point of no longer searching for it.
Of course the most important effect until Yan Xu must willingly go to a dangerous place like this is that extracts from ginseng can be used to strengthen the body's resistance when processed in conjunction with other ingredients, such as ginseng, where part of the ingredients of the potion had he obtained through the elder who helped him to trade on the black market.
If he still could not find it even though it had come this far, Yan Xu intended to return later but by sneaking out illegally.
Although it looks mature, the childish side of Yan Xu can still be seen from the way he is curious about many things.
He had high curiosity and would not give up before understanding it, such was the original personality of the man now named Yan Xu in Xuanyuan realm.
If it is still not found, he still has plans to meram—uhuk!—ask a small portion of the auction house that has it. He would not let go of his goal easily when it had been set.
Want to change the stance of this stone-like person? Free, even he won't change until the sun rises from the west!
The rain still had not stopped, the droplets of poison flowing in the air fell to the ground and caused several holes around.
Lately, Yan Xu had gotten too little time to rest. Slowly he took a breath and took it out, smoothed the air circulation in his brain and made the mind more relaxed, until peace was felt in his head.
Even though he had the poisonous sea dragon art water in order to prevent the ferocious beasts as well as the poisonous insects from approaching, he was still in the most dangerous place compared to the other expedition sites after all.
It was difficult for himself to relax, especially with the scheming of General Lao and Mo Li.
'Ah! Is Aunt Yueyin okay? I almost forgot about it due to being too focused in the search for medicinal ingredients!'
Yan Xu thought about the hitman being swallowed by his good friend from another dimension. Given the loot from the man, he was still too poor as an assassin in the golden group.
Out of all the loot, only the semi-earth level double scythe was the most valuable, the rest were some talismans, the, pills and robes he was currently wearing to create additional protective shields to ward off the corrosive rainwater properties.
'Haah ..he is too poor, it turns out that the value of my head is not worth at all. Though I already have a mark as a disciple of the Luo Immortal Sect, but the price of my head is even lower than the bird droppings that are considered heavenly grade mounts!'
The other members of his group must have been carrying out his plan after several days of the man being killed.
With the help of Mo Li who was deeply hidden within the darkness, they would gain all sorts of advantages as well as almost all the important information about the members of the expedition, except for Yan Xu.
They dared to lure Aunt Yueyin who was less adept in the formation array, it was obvious that all this was very well planned and meticulous.
Aunt Yueyin had a deep cultivation level and a cold yet sometimes adorable personality, but she was too rash in taking action because having any trick life principle would never work under absolute power.
Wang Jia Li was the saddest among all the people in existence. He had no idea that his childhood friend was harboring an extremely deadly poison at the moment, ready to take his head as an imperial prince.
However, Yan Xu felt that there was a missing explanation, something greater about the trigger of the scheme.
