Chapter 199 The Medicine Searching Team

The magic sword used by Master Black Zetsu is actually a top-grade magic weapon with six array patterns.

However, this magic sword is not suitable for controlling with the art of driving objects. It is just right to hold in hand for defense. Therefore, Mo Juren is not very interested in it.

Mo Juren saw that the magic weapon used by Madam Xiang was an umbrella-shaped weapon, which was good for defense but not enough for offense, so he left it to Madam Xiang.

Madam Xiang was very clever and after some modifications, she turned the original black magic sword into a female sword with a white handle and white sheath.

When carried on the back, it adds a sense of prettiness and heroism, which is more in line with the image of Mrs. Xiang.

The three of them have stayed in Mengshan for almost half a year. It is time to return to Jiayuan City to check the situation.

So Mo Juren asked Honglian to come forward and reconnect with Hu Pinggu and his wife, whom he was familiar with, to find out if there was anything unusual in the Lingshou Mountain Market.

Honglian took out the sound transmission talisman and after several exchanges of communication, she said to Mo Juren,

"Sister Hu left Lingshou Mountain half a year ago, and nothing unusual happened. She went there again after that, and just returned to Lanzhou a few days ago,"

"She and Brother Xiong are looking to join the beast hunting team in Mengshan. According to Sister Hu, there is a severe shortage of various spiritual herbs and medicines in the Spiritual Beast Mountain Market recently."

"Someone is buying up the fruits in large quantities and driving up the prices, so my sisters and I want to take this opportunity to go to Mount Mengshan to pick some and sell them for a good price."

Mo Juren Dao,

"They are in Mengshan? That's God's help. The three of us can get together. Then we can come back from hunting animals in Mengshan with a legitimate reason, and cover up our whereabouts these days."

The three of them went around in circles and came to the old place, Mangrove Valley, where they saw that Hu Pinggu and the other person had found a team of six or seven people and were preparing to enter the mountain.

"Sister Hu! Brother Xiong!" Honglian Sanren, who had transformed into an ordinary female cultivator again, shouted from afar.

"It's Sister Honglian! And brother Zhang Tie! Oh, I was wondering why we haven't seen each other for half a year. I didn't expect that you two are together, hehe..."

Mo Juren also greeted her and introduced Madam Xiang.

"Sister Hu, please don't laugh at me. By the way, this is Fellow Daoist Ma. The three of us are going to go to Mount Meng together to look for some resources. I wonder if Sister Hu needs anyone else?"

Madam Xiang also underwent a makeover, changing her hairstyle and clothes, and transformed from a noble lady in charge of a local market into a heroic female cultivator carrying a sword.

This style is similar to Hu Pinggu's style, which made her feel good at first sight. She laughed and said,

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Ma. The two of us have just joined Fellow Daoist Zeng's team and are preparing to go into the mountains to look for medicine,"

"I think you guys came at the right time. Fellow Daoist Zeng said that everyone has been flocking to Mount Meng these days, so it's hard to find anyone. If the team can't get anyone soon, the seven of us will form a small team and go directly into the mountain!"

So Hu Pinggu led the three people to find the leader Zeng Boxia, an elderly cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. He had a medical cloth bag on his shoulder and was dressed like a doctor.

After introducing themselves to each other, the three of them stated their purpose. Zeng Boxia, who had a calm face, said happily,

"That's great! Since we have Daoist Fellow Hu's introduction, we welcome the three of you to join our team. Without further ado, if you have nothing else to do, we will set off into the mountains first, and we can discuss other details on the way!"

Just as Hu Pinggu said in the voice transmission, the team going to Mengshan to collect herbs is very popular now. If you go late, you might be beaten to it by others.

So under the leadership of Zeng Boxia, the ten of them went deep into Mount Meng. The herb-picking team was different from the beast-hunting team. Since they mainly picked spiritual herbs and would not take the initiative to provoke powerful monsters, the strength of the entire team was not high.

Zeng Boxia said,
"This time we are mainly looking for 'Red Arrow Flower' and 'Stone Oak Grass'. There are not many people picking these two kinds of spiritual herbs on weekdays, and there are a lot of stocks. But the recent surge in prices may attract many teams to scramble for them."

Mo Juren and Madam Xiang couldn't help but look at each other, because these two kinds of spiritual herbs are one of the important materials they often use to make "Gu Ling Liquid".

Mo Juren pretended to ask casually,

"Fellow Daoist Zeng, I wonder where there is a sudden need for so many unpopular spiritual herbs?"

Zeng Boxia Road,

"It's hard to say which force it is, but recently all the merchants in Mengshan have been trying to buy them, and the price of spirit stones they offer is getting higher and higher. We casual cultivators don't need to find out the truth, we just need to exchange them for spirit stones."

"Besides, according to my experience, these sudden market conditions will probably not last long. Everyone hurry up and follow. I know a place that will definitely not let you return empty-handed."

The last sentence was addressed to the entire team. Everyone responded loudly and became excited.

A team of ten people safely entered the hinterland of Mount Mengshan, came to a small stream, went upstream, and found a small waterfall.

There is a pond under the waterfall, and Zeng Boxia started working on the shore.

Two people were on guard around, four were guarding nearby, and four were the main force in picking.

The reason why there are more people guarding than working is because in addition to guarding against possible monsters, the most important thing is to guard against people!
If you encounter other groups of independent cultivators, you must have enough force to prevent being robbed!
Moreover, picking herbs requires a certain amount of experience. You can't just dig them up directly. Generally, you need to know a little about the spiritual plant skills among the six arts of cultivation.

Mo Juren recommended himself and easily gained Zeng Boxia's trust, becoming one of the four picking team members.

The red arrow flower likes moisture and its roots are deeply rooted in wet soil; the stone oak grass likes to grow between rocks.

Both of these spiritual herbs are suitable for growing in the area around the waterfall, so after the four people dispersed, the experienced Zeng Boxia soon made a harvest and received a red arrow flower, which made all the team members full of confidence.

Not long after, Mo Juren was climbing on a small rock cliff and picking a stone oak grass with great concentration.

The useful part of this magical herb is its thick branches that cling to the stone, so you need to peel off its complex roots bit by bit and separate it from the stone.

Suddenly, from a distance, Hu Pinggu's shouting was heard.
"Dai Guang! Is it you? What do you intend to do?..."

Isn’t this Dai Guang, the casual cultivator at the eleventh level of Qi Refining who flirted with Hu Pinggu when Mo Juren first participated in the beast hunt?

Mo Juren's eyes turned cold when he heard this! He quickly put away the stone oak grass and rushed to the waterfall.

Honglian was in charge of keeping guard at the other end, and soon returned here with Mo Juren.

At the edge of the pond, Dai Guang, who was dressed in a bright and beautiful outfit, led five people to surround Hu Pinggu and his wife and the other two guard monks, and was smugly saying,

"...Aunt Hu Ping, what do you say this time? Without the protection of the Five Friends of Mengshan, I wonder if you, a little bitch, dare to show off in front of me, Dai Guang."

　I didn't expect that I could receive monthly tickets! Thanks to my book friend "Tales of Immortality 9" for his monthly ticket support!
