Chapter 1875: Chapter 1875 Discovered Spiritual Ginseng
"Haha!" Ye Liuyun also laughed out, "He makes sense. Grilling meat is different from refining pills!"
He simply found Shangguan Minghe’s analogy interesting.
However, Lin Xiyao objected, "He’s familiar with herbs, has Flame Force, and knows how to control fire. How could he not know how to refine pills?"
Before this, Shangguan Minghe also had experienced Ye Liuyun’s Flame Force and knew that his power was very strong, even envying it.
But he still said, "There are plenty who know bout herbs, and a lot of martial practitioners with fire properties. But alchemists? Only a few!"
"Come, let’s eat! Well, I’m not exactly an alchemist, let’s not go off-topic!" Ye Liuyun also stopped Lin Xiyao.
He thought it was not worth it to argue with someone who was trying to elevate himself by demeaning others.
Lin Xiyao also ignored Shangguan Minghe, and continued to chat with Ye Liuyun, "My flame is Crimson Fire Technique, is your Flame Force the strongest Golden Crow Sacred Fire?"
"Yes!" Ye Liuyun answered the question vaguely.
He did not want to discuss his own strength, but he guessed that everyone else could see the Golden Crow in the flame, so he did not deny it.
"How did you get this? How strong is it now?" Lin Xiyao became more interested when she heard that she guessed correctly.
"That’s years ago!" Ye Liuyun casually said.
Meanwhile, he was also annoyed by Lin Xiyao’s persistent inquiries and directly interrupted her through spiritual communication, "Could we not discuss my matters in public? Do you think you can count on all these mercenaries or Shangguan Minghe?"
Ye Liuyun’s words woke Lin Xiyao up, she hurriedly replied, "I’m sorry. You’re just too suitable to refine pills, and I think you can be an alchemist, so I got too excited!"
Ye Liuyun didn’t say anything further, just handed her another piece of grilled meat, to keep her mouth shut. He himself also began to feast.
Kui Sen noticed the awkwardness between the two, realising that Ye Liuyun must have sent her a message asking her not to question any further.
So, with a smile, he said, "We mercenaries, live in danger every day. Maybe one day, we’ll get stabbed in the back without realising. We normally don’t pry into each other’s strengths! If you wanna ask, you have to be a bit tactful!"
"Haha," Ye Liuyun also laughed and said to Lin Xiyao, "You can tactfully ask him how strong his Devil Qi is also!"
In reality, he had long noted that Kui Sen’s Devil Qi was potent. He was only using half of his abilities currently.
"Hahaha," Kui Sen joined in with a loud laugh, changing the topic gracefully.
They chatted while they ate, finally finishing off all the bear meat they had. Then, they all took a moment to recover and cultivate.
Once everyone had recovered, the team continued to move forward.
Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense then found that there were already feral beasts of the Fifth Realm in front of them. He feared that even Lin Zhi’an and Tang Kuan would have to work together to battle the creatures.
Indeed, the subsequent feral beasts attacks cost the lives of several mercenaries.
The Fifth Realm feral beasts’ attacks were too fierce. Some of the mercenaries’ weapons were not strong enough, and they gradually found they could not withstand these beasts any longer.
Ye Liuyun relied on his speed to evade the feral beasts, choosing not to reveal his true power unless his life was at stake.
His sword intention only released a fraction of his Flame Force. But this was only enough to injure the Fifth Realm feral beasts or distract them, leaving the main strength to defeat the feral beasts to Tang Kuan and Lin Zhi’an.
After each battle, their rest periods became longer and longer.
In the meantime, Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to gather some medicinal herbs. The other mercenaries did not dare to move around recklessly, fearing they would encounter other feral beasts of the Fifth Realm.
Ye Liuyun, however, remained unfazed. He even used his Divine Soul to proactively attack a high-level Brute Bull and marked it with a Slaving Seal.
The Brute Bull was an earth attribute beast, and Ye Liuyun had initially intended to kill it outright. But considering that they were on a quest to find the spiritual ginseng, perhaps this earth attribute beast could be of assistance. Thus, he chose to subjugate and keep it first.
As for the other feral beasts that he encountered, he directly devoured their Divine Souls. The beasts’ virtuosos were also given to Dragon Lady to use as cultivation resources.
Their team barely managed to pass the challenge of the Fifth Realm late-stage feral beasts’ attack. After that, they came to a halt and started to circle around in place.
Lin Xiyao instructed everyone to scatter and start searching separately for the spiritual ginseng.
"It’s rumored that the spiritual ginseng appears around here. I guess it wouldn’t dare to run into the Sixth Realm feral beasts’ territory," Lin Xiyao analysed.
The target of their search was also in the area of the Fifth Realm feral beasts they had killed earlier.
Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, released his Divine Sense, and after scanning the entire area with his Golden Phantom Eyes, he still found no trace of the spiritual ginseng. He figured that the spiritual ginseng might not exist at all and thought it would be better to take the opportunity to hunt some Sixth Realm feral beasts.
When he killed those feral beasts, he usually relied on Divine Soul Attacks, so he generally did so silently, without attracting anyone’s attention.
Suddenly, he spotted a flash of a child’s figure in the mountain plateau. When he used his Divine Sense to carefully probe again, he was shocked by the situation there.
The mountain plateau was filled with a vast amount of spiritual ginseng.
"Maybe there really is transformed spiritual ginseng," Ye Liuyun guessed, and directly pursued.
Hallucination basically wouldn’t happen to martial practitioners at his level.
He thought the child’s figure he had spotted just now was possibly the legendary spiritual ginseng.
However, when he rushed into the plateau, he did not find the transformed spiritual ginseng.
"Well, I’ll just move this whole area of spiritual ginseng into my Spatial World first." Thinking this, Ye Liuyun directly dug up the entire spiritual ginseng, along with the ground, and put everything into his Spatial World.
Suddenly, a child figure ran out from among the spiritual ginsengs, rushing deep into the mountains.
Despite the small stature and childlike appearance, the figure’s hair was made up of the root tendrils of ginseng. The legs, too, still had many root-like tendrils that had not been completely shed.
"Wow, it does exists!"
With shock resonating within Ye Liuyun’s heart, he promptly pursued at full speed. At the same time, he kept an eye on it using his Golden Phantom Eyes and Divine Sense.
"Think you can catch me? Not a chance!" The spiritual ginseng taunted Ye Liuyun as it ran.
The spiritual ginseng’s speed was impressive, but it didn’t manage to get far enough. It would run a certain distance, then burrow into the ground to rest before continuing to run.
"Brute Bull!" Ye Liuyun then released the recently tamed Brute Bull out into the field.
Just as the spiritual ginseng burrowed into the earth to rest.
"Moo!"
With a low bellow from Brute Bull, the surrounding earth suddenly squeezed toward where the spiritual ginseng had gone.
"Ah!" Ye Liuyun heard an apparent shriek from the spiritual ginseng.
Following that, the Brute Bull stomped on the ground.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the spiritual ginseng, along with the earth beneath, was sent flying into the air by the Brute Bull’s force.
