Chapter 146 Herb Field
The Spirit Moon Frost Wolf Blue Star, which had just formed a contract with Xu Xiaoxiao, affectionately rubbed against her hand, then raised its head and let out a long and deep howl that echoed through the mountains and forests.
Lan Xing turned around and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with her sapphire-like eyes, transmitting her voice: "Master, I know of a medicinal field with many medicinal plants that can definitely help you improve your alchemy skills."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up with surprise, and she excitedly said, "Really? Blue Star? That's wonderful! Take us there quickly!"
Hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words, everyone gathered around. Lin Yu, holding a folding fan, smiled and looked on with curiosity in his eyes: "Such an opportunity is something to look forward to."
Zi Ling was overjoyed and took Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, saying, "Miss Xu, let's set off now. I really want to see that medicinal herb field as soon as possible."
Zhao Yu and Qian Feng exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with anticipation, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, let's set off quickly, lest we miss such a good opportunity."
Lan Xing gently nodded his large head, turned around, and strode off into the depths of the forest. Xu Xiaoxiao and the others followed closely behind, weaving through the dense jungle.
Along the way, the branches were intertwined and the vines were growing wildly. Everyone had to push aside the branches and leaves from time to time to move forward. Lin Yu waved his folding fan to sweep away the branches and leaves in front of him and exclaimed, "Blue Star is indeed the king of this mountain forest. He is so familiar with the path. If it were us, we would probably have lost our way long ago."
Hearing the praise, Lan Xing quickened his pace and transmitted his voice to Xu Xiaoxiao: "Master, we're almost there. Every corner of this mountain forest is within my perception."
Xu Xiaoxiao looked ahead with some skepticism and asked curiously, "Lan Xing, how did you discover that medicinal herb field?"
Lan Xing paused slightly and said, "Master, I often patrol the territory in the mountains and forests. I happened to smell the rich spiritual energy emanating from that medicinal field, so I followed the trail and discovered that treasure land."
As they spoke, the group arrived at a steep mountain wall. Zi Ling frowned as she looked at the wall and asked in confusion, "Blue Star, is the herb field behind this mountain wall? But how do we get there?"
Lanxing calmly walked to the mountain wall, carefully sniffed the wall with its nose, and then raised its front paws to gently scratch a few times in a secluded spot.
A miraculous thing happened: a stone door slowly appeared on the mountain wall, with a faint light shining through the cracks.
Xu Xiaoxiao was filled with amazement and couldn't help but clap her hands in praise: "Blue Star, you're amazing!"
Blue Star wagged its tail modestly and took the lead in entering the stone gate. With nervousness and anticipation, the others filed in. After passing through the stone gate, a vast medicinal field came into view, and everyone was instantly stunned by the sight before them.
Stepping through the stone gate, a dreamlike medicinal field suddenly appears. The warm sunlight, filtering through the thin, gauze-like mist, gently falls on each medicinal plant, refracting a colorful halo. The medicinal field is like a carefully carved piece of jade, inlaid in the depths of this hidden mountain forest.
In the medicinal field, spiritual plants grow wildly. Some plants are tall and upright with broad, glossy leaves, and spiritual light seems to flow between their veins; others are small and exquisite, yet they bloom with dazzling and beautiful flowers, with dewdrops glistening on their petals, just like crystal pearls. A rich and fragrant medicinal aroma wafts over, lingering around everyone's noses, making people feel refreshed and happy.
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she unconsciously covered her mouth with her hands. Her eyes were full of surprise and shock as she exclaimed, "My God, this is simply a fairyland! So many rare medicinal plants, it's unimaginable!"
Zi Ling blushed with excitement, grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Miss Xu, we've really hit the jackpot this time! With so many treasures, how many powerful pills can we refine?"
Lin Yu abandoned his usual composure, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes. He gently shook his folding fan and sighed, "A medicinal field of this scale is probably extremely rare even in the cultivation world. It is truly a great fortune to witness it today."
Zhao Yu and Qian Feng were so excited they didn't know what to do. Qian Feng scratched his head and grinned, "I've only ever seen these spiritual plants in books before. I never thought I'd see them in person today. It's incredible."
Zhao Yu nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes, we should collect more; maybe we can use it to break through our cultivation level."
Lan Xing looked up at Xu Xiaoxiao with anticipation in her eyes and transmitted her voice, "Master, the medicinal plants here can help you improve your alchemy skills. I hope they can be of assistance."
Xu Xiaoxiao squatted down, gently stroked Lanxing's head, and said tenderly, "Lanxing, thanks to you, you are our great hero."
Then, Xu Xiaoxiao stood up, her expression becoming serious, and said to everyone, "Everyone, hurry up and pick as many mature medicinal plants as possible, but do not touch the immature ones, to maintain the ecology here and avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and then eagerly dispersed to begin harvesting, creating a bustling scene in the medicinal herb field.
The group quickly dispersed to the medicinal herb fields and began the intense yet orderly harvesting work.
Zi Ling moved through the medicinal herbs with practiced ease, each move precise and accurate. With her sharp eyes, she spotted a cluster of spiritual herbs emitting a faint glow and excitedly exclaimed, "Miss Xu, come and see! This is Dew-Condensing Grass. It can greatly enhance the solidity of pills during alchemy, which is extremely important for our pills for breaking through cultivation."
Xu Xiaoxiao rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Looking at the cluster of spiritual herbs, her eyes were filled with joy: "Really? Miss Ziling, your knowledge of medicinal plants is amazing. Thanks to you, otherwise I might have missed this treasure."
As she spoke, she squatted down and, imitating Zi Ling, carefully dug out the Dew Grass by the roots and placed it into a specially made jade box.
On the other side, Lin Yu held a folding fan and gently parted the obscuring branches and leaves, discovering a medicinal plant with flame-like leaves in a corner.
He frowned slightly, and after careful examination, said, "Could this be the Crimson Flame Leaf? I've heard it's a key ingredient for refining high-level fire-attribute pills, and it's extremely rare."
Zhao Yu and Qian Feng came over. Zhao Yu scratched his head and asked, "Brother Lin, are you sure it's Crimson Flame Leaf? It looks a little different from the one in the book."
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded affirmatively, "That should be right. It's probably because of the special growing environment that its appearance is slightly different."
As he spoke, he carefully picked the Crimson Flame Leaf and handed it to Xu Xiaoxiao, saying, "Miss Xu, this Crimson Flame Leaf is extremely precious. Please keep it safe."
Xu Xiaoxiao took it and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Brother Lin."
During the harvest, Xu Xiaoxiao spotted a strangely shaped medicinal plant in the shadows.
It exudes a mysterious silver light and is shaped like a blooming lotus flower, but the petals are made of crystal-clear material.
Xu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then called out softly, "Lan Xing, come and take a look, what kind of medicinal plant is this?"
Lan Xing trotted over, sniffed it, and shook her head. Although Xu Xiaoxiao didn't recognize it, she thought the medicinal plant looked extraordinary, so she decided to preserve it carefully.
She took out a more exquisite jade box, put on special gloves, and gently dug out the herb and placed it in the box. She muttered to herself, "This herb looks extraordinary. I'll show it to my second senior brother when we get back. He's an expert in alchemy, so he might be able to tell me what this herb is for."
Zi Ling walked over and looked at the jade box with curiosity: "Miss Xu, what is this? I have never seen such a strange medicinal plant before."
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and replied, "I don't know either, but it feels very precious. Let's take it back and show it to our second senior brother. Maybe it will bring us an unexpected surprise."
Time passed by, and everyone's harvest grew, their storage bags gradually bulging. However, knowing they couldn't linger, they quickened their picking pace, their eyes filled with anticipation and satisfaction for the harvest.
