C11 Herb collecting team
Just as they were talking, Lin Yuan suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him. Turning around, he saw four men and three women slowly walking towards them.
The one walking right in front was a young man of about 25 or 26 years of age. He was dressed in an embroidered robe, and his figure was tall and straight.
At his side was a beautiful woman around the age of twenty. Her movements were filled with charm, and her beautiful eyes were filled with love as she looked at the young man.
As for the other three, they should be anywhere, because they respectfully walked behind the two of them, and their expressions weren't as arrogant as the other two.
Lin Yuan frowned, his sharp eyes swept past the five of them, that young man actually had a cultivation of Third Level of Qi Condensation, and even the three followers behind them all had a cultivation of Qi Condensation level.
As for the beautiful woman, she did not emit any spirit energy fluctuations. It seemed like she could only hide her presence the same way Lin Yuan could, or she could only be a normal warrior.
The young man glanced at Lin Yuan and his group indifferently, then spoke with a haughty tone: "Since everyone is here, let's go. We have to listen to them on the way, otherwise, die."
After the young man finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the mountain range, while the lady did not even look at Lin Yuan, because she only had eyes for the young man.
"Sigh ~ ~ If you were to say that Master Cultivator is so powerful, Miss Qian He would never even look at mortals like us. But just look, her soul was almost sucked away by Master Cultivator."
The tall and sturdy man beside Lin Yuan said softly, his tone filled with jealousy and envy, but he could only grumble. After all, compared to cultivators, they were mortals, like the heavens and the earth.
Lin Yuan smiled and did not say anything. After all, to ordinary people, cultivators were like gods, no matter how invincible one was in the mortal world, a mere first level Qi Condensation cultivator would be able to easily kill them.
The group of people followed behind the young man, pulling the line of nearly a hundred people very far, while Lin Yuan and the tall and sturdy man walked at the back.
This tall and sturdy man was a talkative man, he talked non-stop into Lin Yuan's ears. The topics were also colorful, from the battle between cultivators to the widow jumping into the water, it was extremely interesting to hear.
Lin Yuan laughed bitterly all along the way, but he did not chase the big sized man away. Instead, he thought that it was pretty fun.
"Brother Hu Jiang, do you know the background of this man in green?" Seeing that the big size man at the side was talking about him sneaking peeks at his neighbor's flowery bath when he was young, Lin Yuan could not help but have a few black lines on his face, thus he opened his mouth and spoke to cut him off.
This burly man's name was Hu Jiang, he was a hunter that roamed the vicinity of the mountain range all year round, his strength was not bad, if one were to look at him from the perspective of the martial arts world, he could be considered a top-notch expert.
After Hu Jiang heard the question, he immediately paused, as if he was organizing his words. After a few seconds, he said: "Brother Lin must have just arrived at the small town, no wonder you don't know."
"This Master Cultivator is called Zhen Yang, and he suddenly came to our town a week ago. Once his pressure was released, the entire town's people couldn't help but shiver."
"After the Master Cultivator came, the biggest family in our town, the Qian Family, welcomed him. From then on, there was good food and drinks for him, I heard that in order to curry favor with the Master Cultivator, the Qian Family Patriarch gave his daughter, Miss Qian He, out."
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, as he vaguely felt that this matter wasn't that simple. However, everything wasn't going to end well, and he could only take this one step at a time.
"Then Big Brother Hu Jiang, do you know why Master Cultivator is here to collect medicinal herbs? With his identity, as long as we speak of it, the thousand families will put all the herbs in front of him, right? "
Hearing that, Hu Jiang's face was full of confusion: "I am not too sure about that, but there was a rumor that the Master Cultivator came here to obtain a special herb, and it was said that the herb was extremely precious. He did not trust others to gather it for him, so he came here personally."
"As for why we are forming this herb collecting team, I don't know. But according to my calculations, the Master Cultivator should need help with this, that's why they called us here."
Lin Yuan did not agree with Hu Jiang's words. How could a dignified Third Level of Qi Condensation cultivator need the help of an ordinary warrior, there must be something fishy going on.
But it didn't matter, if Zhen Yang did anything bad to him, he could just kill him and snatch the map, which would allow him to gather the herbs by himself.
Unknowingly, the sky had turned dark. According to their speed, the group of people had already left the outskirts of the mountain range and arrived at the center of the mountain range. It was said that there were Level 3 to 5 demon beasts here.
Three days passed in a row. Following the directions on the map, the herb collecting team cleverly avoided the territory of the demon beasts and also collected several hundred kilograms of different colored herbs.
Lin Yuan looked at his storage bag, the required ingredients on the pill formulas were all present, and he had prepared more than ten sets of each, all that was left was the Heart's Connecting Grass.
Lin Yuan and the others were currently in the central area of the Enchantment Grass, this kind of herb was extremely expensive, each of them worth 10 gold coins, one had to know that 10 gold coins was more than enough for a family of three to live for half a year.
Now that everyone's storage bag were full, it could be said that they returned with a plethora of herbs, so there were many people who planned to return.
"Return? "No, we haven't found the herbs we need. You must follow us." Qian He immediately shouted out upon hearing that someone wanted to return to the city.
"But our storage bag are already full, why don't we go back and clean them up, and then come back here for a visit?" A middle-aged man carefully asked.
Qian He frowned, his beautiful eyes actually emitting a cold killing intent: "If I don't know, then I won't. If anyone dares to return on their own, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lin Yuan's heart sank, although Qian He was beautiful and flirtatious, being ruthless right now was terrifying, his eyes that were filled with killing intent made people shiver uncontrollably.
In the next few days, Lin Yuan and the rest followed behind Zhen Yang and found a few places filled with herbs, but they did not look happy.
At this time, Lin Yuan had already found the Heart Grass, and seeing that the storage bag s were full, he decided to return. However, Zhen Yang and Qian He's attitude made him curious, and he didn't want to leave so quickly.
Night came.
The night in the mountain was very gloomy. There were trees and shrubs all around and there were countless mosquitoes and flies flying around.
Lin Yuan was anxious, he came out of the tent and walked towards the distance, after releasing the water, he planned to return, but before he even took two steps, he heard some movement from the bushes nearby.
Lin Yuan immediately became vigilant. He was inside the mountain range, there were countless beasts running amok, even though they had maps of the territory to avoid the beasts, but there were still some that he missed.
So, Lin Yuan secretly circulated the spiritual qi in his body, and then slowly walked towards the shrubbery, but before he could get close, a figure stood up from within.
Lin Yuan was stunned, because this person was none other than the only woman Qian He, the one who came this time. Looking at her messy clothes, he was probably the same as, trying to loosen up.
When Qian He saw Lin Yuan, he was startled at first, but after that, a trace of killing intent surfaced on his face: "Good boy, to actually sneak a peek at me going to the toilet, you are truly tired of living."
Such injustice! Lin Yuan's face was currently filled with helplessness, but he did not explain it right away. After all, there were only two people present in the dark, so it was impossible for anyone to believe that he had coincidentally met them.
"Not a good idea, Miss Qian He. I was just coincidentally here to relieve myself. Just now, I saw some movement here and thought I met a Spirit Demon beast, so I came over to take a look." Lin Yuan cupped his fists and said apologetically.
"Do you think I'm stupid? This is related to my reputation, so just die for me. " After Qian He finished speaking, he actually started to fight.
Although this Miss Qian He was not a cultivator, her martial arts were superb. It was just that it was not enough for him to see.
Facing Qian He's fist technique, Lin Yuan only used a set of small hands to suppress him. "Miss Qian He, I said that I was only here unintentionally, and did not see you, why must you be so ruthless?"
Qian He was captivated by Lin Yuan, he was extremely shocked, this young man actually managed to subdue his in one move, his strength was terrifying, but in her heart, she still had a trump card, so he was not worried for his life.
"Brat, I am Lord Zhen Yang's woman. If you dare touch me, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, he will kill you."
Lin Yuan hated people who threaten him the most, so he said coldly: "Your life is in my hands now, and you still dare threaten me? Even if that Zhen Yang is able to kill me, you will die in front of me. "
Qian He did not expect that Lin Yuan would not be threatened by her, and was immediately unsure in his heart. After thinking about it, he decided that it was better to keep his life, and say, "Good boy, you're ruthless.
Lin Yuan laughed. Let her go? What a joke! However, this was also an opportunity, so he wanted to ask her about the true purpose of this herb gathering.
"I can release you, but you have to tell me the real purpose of this herb gathering. Why are you still not letting us leave even when the herbs are all filled?"
Hearing that, Qian He's body suddenly trembled, he then said: "I don't know, Master Zhen Yang did not tell me."
Lin Yuan stared deadly into Qian He's eyes, when he replied with a twinkle in his eyes, he knew that she must be lying: "Miss Qian He, if you want to live, take out some information that can be exchanged with your life, if not don't blame me for being impolite."
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he did not hide the killing intent in his eyes at all, the piercing gaze caused Qian He's heart to tremble, at the same time, he could not help but feel fear in the bottom of his heart.
