Chapter 634
It was not unusual for someone to come here, but it would be thought-provoking if they could display a good lightness skill. After all, among the disciples of the Pill Repository Hall, except for the three Arhats of the Tian Mu Peak, there were not many disciples of the other three peaks who knew lightness skill. Moreover, they would definitely not come to such a dangerous place on the first day of picking.
When Zhang Xiaohua saw clearly with his Divine Sense, his expression became more and more interesting.
Zhang Xiaohua did not show any expression. He made a gesture and went underground, only revealing his Divine Sense to observe carefully.
He saw that person using Qing Gong to come here. He first stopped and looked around carefully. Then he jumped onto a big tree and looked across the river. He said to himself, "Yes, it's here."
This person had a white face, a short stature, and a somewhat frivolous tone. Wasn't he the most respected Senior Lu Lihong of the Pill Repository Hall?
Then, after observing the surroundings for a while, he went straight ahead.
When Lu Lihong went far away, Zhang Xiaohua came out from the ground. Looking at Lu Lihong's back, he was surprised, "Didn't they say that the Wuming Hall's disciples did not train here?
Why is Senior Martial Brother Lu here?
Oh, maybe he wanted to pick some old Spiritual Herbs. After all, the last time he came here, he found a few hundred years old ginseng. This thing is very precious. "
Lu Lihong coming to pick herbs had nothing to do with Zhang Xiaohua. Naturally, he did not need to care. When Lu Lihong went far away, Zhang Xiaohua identified the direction and went straight in the direction that Senior Liao said.
Senior Brother Liao from the Grass Division could be considered a bold person. His martial arts weren't very strong, but after he had gathered enough medicinal herbs, he had secretly crossed the river and entered the forest. However, his luck didn't seem to be as good as Lu Lihong's. He didn't find any good medicinal herbs. It wasn't until the last day that he found a stalk of "Ice Soul Grass". It was estimated to be at least a few hundred years old. Just as he was about to ecstatically pick it, he was immediately frightened by a loud roar. Not far away, a huge figure was quietly watching him. It was the White Bear that the disciples had talked about countless times.
When he saw the white bear, he did not dare to stay and immediately ran to the river. He did not know whether his character was good or the white bear had other things to do, so he did not chase after him. That was why he escaped with his life.
Of course, when he used this information to exchange for the pill with Zhang Xiaohua, he made it clear that he only provided the location. As for whether Zhang Xiaohua could get it or not, that was Zhang Xiaohua's matter. So when Zhang Xiaohua heard his information and the white bear, she could only show a strange expression.
After a meal's time, Zhang Xiaohua still did not find any trace of the "Ice Soul Grass". She even messed up the location and signs that Senior Liao said. In the end, she could only give up and wait until tomorrow to look again. Of course, because the Pill Expanding Hall rarely came to this forest, although she did not pick the Ice Soul Grass, she picked many other herbs along the way. She even came across a few stalks of the other main ingredient of the Yuhuandan Pill, "Cold Light Grass", and they were all more than a hundred years old.
So even if she did not find the "Ice Soul Grass" today, Zhang Xiaohua did not feel the slightest regret. There was still a lot of time and she could slowly search for it.
It was already late today. Zhang Xiaohua picked different herbs as she walked. By the time she reached the riverside, she had already filled a few jade boxes to the brim.
Along the way, she did not encounter any ferocious beasts. She did not even see Lu Lihong from before. Perhaps he found the spiritual herbs that he picked and left early.
Crossing the river and returning to the camp, Lu Chaoxian and the other nine disciples had already returned and were counting today's harvest.
This birch forest was indeed a natural medicine storehouse. There were dozens of years old herbs everywhere, and the quality was much better than the ones planted by the Pill Expanding Hall. Looking at the herbs that Lu Chaoxian and the others picked, Zhang Xiaohua unconsciously understood why the Pill Expanding Hall had to send people here every five years even if they wanted to lose disciples.
When the disciples saw that Zhang Xiaohua had returned, they all raised their heads and asked about today's results. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and only said that they would continue tomorrow. Everyone was not surprised. If Zhang Xiaohua could find it as soon as she went out, then Vice Hall Master Xu would not have to punish him like this.
After everyone comforted Zhang Xiaohua, they came together to sort out the herbs. At a glance, Zhang Xiaohua saw a sixty-year-old "Black Void Wood" thrown aside. She unconsciously picked it up and asked curiously, "Why is this herb thrown aside?"
Senior Martial Brother Wang took a look and said, "Who knows what kind of herb this is?
I only picked it because I saw that it was old enough. I reckon that it was thrown there by the Senior Martial Brother who didn't want it last time. Once we've sorted out all the medicinal herbs in the hall, we can store it separately. Perhaps it's a treasure or a stalk of grass. "
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded. In her heart, she understood that this "Black Void Wood" was the main ingredient of the Spirit Cleansing Pill. Sixty years old was enough to refine pills, so she asked, "Then, I will take this herb. Later, I will give you pills in exchange. How about it?"
When Senior Wang heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands. "It's just an unknown medicinal herb. Junior Brother Ren, feel free to take it. If you were to pick it yourself, you would be able to get it easily. Why would you exchange it with pills?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and put away the "Black Void Wood". Then she asked, "Senior Martial Brother Wang, if I go to the various tents now to see if they have such herbs, and give them pills in exchange, what do you think?"
Senior Martial Brother Wang did not answer. Lu Chaoxian immediately shook his head and said, "Don't, Junior Brother Ren. This is just a useless herb. I don't know why you use it, but if you go look for it now, not to mention that you will make Bai Yuefeng's Senior Martial Brother unhappy, he will casually accuse you of a crime and you will have to atone for it. Moreover, they will think that what they picked is good stuff and increase the price for no reason. It's best to wait until we leave the Grand Canyon and complete the transaction with the hall.
En, if you like these, when us brothers pick them tomorrow, just pay more attention. What we originally disdained, we can pick casually without much effort. "
Zhang Xiaohua thought about it and agreed. She nodded in agreement.
At this time, she noticed that this tent, cough cough, was actually connected together again. It seemed that even in this safe place, these disciples could not be completely at ease.
There were not many herbs picked today, and it did not take long for them to be sorted out. Zhang Xiaohua sat in a corner of the tent and closed her eyes to cultivate. The other disciples also knew of Zhang Xiaohua's habits and only stayed outside the tent or in other places, not disturbing her. Only when the sky was completely dark did she slowly stand up. Lu Chaoxian and the others were about to rest. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua stand up, they were all surprised and asked, "Junior Brother Ren, what are you doing?"
Zhang Xiaohua said mysteriously, "I have no choice. I still have a mission on my shoulders, so I have to rush to work at night. Just now when I crossed the river, I saw a place, but it was guarded by ferocious beasts, so I did not dare to go forward. That's fine, the ferocious beasts will rest at night. I'll go and take a look. If I can pick it, wouldn't that be better?"
Senior Brother Wang was shocked and hurriedly pulled Zhang Xiaohua, saying, "Junior Brother Ren, don't be like this. Even if you can't pick the 'Ice Soul Grass', you'll just be whipped a few times. It won't be serious. You'll be in danger this time. Many ferocious beasts are sensitive and won't rest at night. If something happens to you, the gains will not make up for the losses."
Seeing that Senior Brother Wang was so agitated, Zhang Xiaohua patted his shoulder, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I won't throw away my life at will.
When we go back, I'll be your leader along the way! "
Senior Brother Wang saw that he couldn't win against Zhang Xiaohua, so he looked at Lu Chaoxian. Lu Chaoxian knew that Senior Brother Wang was grateful to Zhang Xiaohua for saving his life. Moreover, he saw that Zhang Xiaohua was young, so he was watching over him closely. However, Zhang Xiaohua's martial arts were high, which was also commonly known as "the skilled are bold." How could they persuade him?
Lu Chaoxian could only smile bitterly as he stepped forward and said, "Junior Martial Brother Ren, Senior Martial Brother Wang really treats you as his own brother. Moreover, we also treat you as our Junior Martial Brother. Don't let us down."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Lu, and other Senior Brothers, I really don't have any problems. Didn't I also break through the entrance of the Youlan Grand Canyon?"
The nine disciples were speechless. That's right, they weren't on the same level as this Junior Brother of theirs. They had only expressed their concern, but whether the other party would accept it or not, they didn't have any assurance.
Everyone watched as Zhang Xiaohua walked out of the tent. Suddenly, he turned back and said with a smile, "Fellow Senior Brothers, although it's safe here, it's not Tian Mu Peak. If there's nothing else, oh, even if there's something, we can talk about it when I come back tomorrow. This tent, by all means, don't go out!"
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was so serious about this matter, the disciples nodded. However, Lu Chaoxian suddenly asked, "Then … what about our carriages?
Wouldn't it be unsafe to leave it outside? "
Zhang Xiaohua was surprised and shrugged his shoulders, "If you're not afraid, you can bring in the horses that pull the carriages. In any case, I'm not staying here, so there's a lot of space."
Lu Chaoxian was originally joking, but seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was so serious about this matter, he could only look at the other disciples. Those disciples also snickered, so they could only follow Zhang Xiaohua's intention and bring in the horses that were tied to the entrance of the tent.
In fact, horses were the main mounts of the Pill Expansion Hall disciples. Many disciples in the campsite saw that there were no Wuming Hall disciples outside to protect them, so they brought their horses in.
Lu Chaoxian's actions didn't attract any attention.
Zhang Xiaohua stood in the darkness and waited for the two disciples to bring the horses in. Seeing that there was no one around, she placed the jade talisman around the tent and made a gesture to activate the prohibition spell. Only then did she escape into the ground and went straight to the riverside.
The night was very quiet, with only a few insects chirping. Zhang Xiaohua didn't escape out of the ground and only moved slightly underground. When she reached the riverside, just as she was about to jump out of the ground, her divine sense suddenly discovered that there was a person hiding on the high slope!
"Who is this?" Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised.
