Now, su Zhaohe was already regarded as the rising Sky Pavilion’s Millennium genius and would soon be accepted as Shangguan Tianhua’s disciple. On the other hand, Huang xiaotao was just a mere disciple of the GreenCloud Pavilion. She had neither strength nor influence. What could she use to compete with him?

Lin Yi looked at her deeply,”Captain Xiao Tao, if you don’t untie this knot in your heart, even if you become a rogue cultivator, you won’t be able to truly be free.”

“Maybe, but what else can I do?” Huang xiaotao shook her head helplessly and immediately changed the topic. She forced herself to raise her spirits and said to everyone,””Alright, that’s all for now. Let’s get back to business. According to our past experiences, if there are no accidents, we will need three days to reach hucai tianwu mountain. So, everyone, rest well. I will be in charge of commanding the spiritual birds. If we encounter any danger, I will inform you.”

Chen Muming and Cong Zhima had long been accustomed to this. After looking at each other, they did not say much and began to close their eyes and cultivate.

“Alright, thank you for your hard work, Captain Xiao Tao.” Lin Yi nodded and didn’t ask about the conflict between him and su Zhaohe. He sat down and started training as well. He just reached the peak of the late Foundation Stage, and these three days were perfect for stabilizing his realm.

The journey was calm and peaceful. Three days later, the four of them successfully entered the territory of hucai tianwu mountain.

As far as the eye could see, it was as lush as a primeval forest. The mountain was so tall that it reached into the clouds. It was not smaller than the mountain behind the three pavilions. The mysterious and powerful aura that it exuded was intimidating.

Huang xiaotao controlled the spiritual bird and landed on an open s.p.a.ce at the edge. After instructing the spiritual bird to take off again, she reminded Lin Yi and the other two,””Everyone, be careful. Although we’re only at the periphery, we can’t rule out the possibility of encountering a powerful spirit beast. If we’re careless, we may pay with our lives. Do you understand?”

“Understood!” Lin Yi and the other two replied in unison.

“Alright, I’ll start a.s.signing tasks now. Junior Brother Chen will be in charge of keeping watch and keeping watch. I’ll be in charge of restraining the spirit beasts nearby. As for brother Ling Yi, you’ll follow Junior Brother Cong Zhima to collect the spirit herbs!” Huang xiaotao ordered.

Division of labor and cooperation, this was the essence of a small team of cultivators. The more spiritual herbs there were, the more spiritual beasts there were. If there was no one specifically responsible for guarding and containing them, in this kind of dangerous place, rashly collecting spiritual herbs was simply courting death. Only with sincere cooperation between a few people could they collect the spiritual herbs and retreat safely.

As the team leader, Huang xiaotao’s words carried enormous weight. The three of them had no objections and immediately began to get busy. In order to avoid suspicion, Lin Yi didn’t leave immediately. He followed them and completed the mission seriously.

Hucai tianwu mountain was a unique environment with two sides facing the sea and two sides facing the mountains. Coupled with the fact that it was inaccessible by people, it created an extremely rich spiritual medicine resource. Wealth was found in danger. This was the reason why many trial-takers were willing to take the risk despite knowing that it was extremely dangerous.

Working together, they avoided the dangerous areas where the spirit beasts gathered. The first day was uneventful, and Lin Yi’s role was to carry the herbs and dig them up without any skill.

However, he didn’t complain. Huang xiaotao and the others had been to Mount tianwu a few times before and were familiar with the place. Lin Yi could familiarize himself with the surroundings faster by following them.

The next day, after the sky brightened, the four continued with their work. Lin Yi thought that things would continue to be peaceful as before, but Chen Zhulin, who was on guard at the top of the tree, brought them some unexpected news.

“There’s a spiritual herb garden ten miles ahead. With a rough estimate, there should be at least a hundred spiritual herbs there!” Chen Mu gathered everyone and shared the news.

Everyone was instantly overjoyed. A spiritual herb Bush with more than a hundred stalks was a rare treasure. As long as they could successfully collect it, perhaps this mission would be completed half in advance.

“Then … Did you discover any powerful spirit beasts?” Although Huang xiaotao was happy, she did not let it get to her head.

Chen Muming shook his head and said,”not yet. According to past experiences, there are definitely spirit beasts around. However, there shouldn’t be many. At most, there will be one or two. Perhaps they have gone out to patrol the territory at this time.”

Cong Zhima nodded in agreement.”That’s right. There can’t be too many spirit beasts. Otherwise, senior brother Chen would definitely find some clues up there. If there are only one or two Spirit beasts, it’s simply a spirit herb delivered to the door. Captain Xiao Tao?”

Seeing that they were all looking at her with antic.i.p.ation, Huang xiaotao did not hesitate for too long. She immediately decided,””Good, this is an opportunity that can not be missed. Since we’ve encountered it, let’s take a gamble. Junior Brother Chen Mingshan, you will approach from above and carefully monitor every movement in the surroundings. Junior Brother Cong Zhima and brother Ling Yi, you two go and collect the spirit herbs. I will be on guard for you and contain any spirit beasts that may appear.”

“Alright!” The few of them acknowledged the order in unison and began to move without a word.

Lin Yi followed Cong Zhima and quickly approached the location pointed out by the wooden pillar. What made Lin Yi suspicious was that they didn’t even see a single ordinary wild beast, let alone a powerful spirit beast. It was a strange situation.

If Lin Yi were to act alone, he’d probably find a place with a wide view and observe first, given his cautious nature.

But this was a small team operation, and Lin Yi was just an outsider who’d joined at the last minute. He didn’t have the right to speak, so he could only raise his guard and follow them.

Soon, Cong Zhima and Lin Yi arrived at the herb garden. They looked around and saw all kinds of high-quality herbs everywhere. They were like free cabbages.

“Brother Ling Yi, we’re rich now!” Cong Zhima couldn’t help but swallow. As long as he collected all these spiritual herbs, even if he couldn’t complete the bounty mission, he could still sell them for at least a thousand spiritual jades. If he divided them evenly, he would get at least two or three hundred spiritual jades. That was a huge sum of money!

With that, Cong Zhima started gathering the herbs. Lin Yi, on the other hand, wasn’t as impatient as him. He turned and looked around.

All of a sudden, a strange-looking fruit tree caught Lin Yi’s attention.

The fruit tree was only as tall as a person, and in this dense forest of giant trees that were hundreds of feet tall, it was simply inconspicuous. Moreover, the trunk was curved, and it was unknown if it was because it had not absorbed sunlight for many years that it grew so distorted.
