Xia Yan's speed of searching for medicinal materials is of course fast. If his consciousness spreads, he can cover an entire mountain peak. Xia Yan knows every plant and tree within the mountain peak. But for ordinary people, who want to search a mountain peak?
Every corner is obviously unrealistic. And the places where Xia Yan found these medicinal plants are very hidden and dangerous.
"Four plants should be enough..."
"Well... I'll look for another mountain top. If I can't find it, I won't continue looking." The figure flashed, and a moment later, Xia Yan appeared in a mountain peak further away.
"Huh?"
As consciousness spread, Xia Yan's mind moved, "It turns out to be a Miscanthus plant. Haha, although this Miscanthus plant is also an intermediate medicinal material, its value is ten times or even dozens of times that of ordinary intermediate medicinal herbs!"
Behind a huge rock on a cliff, Xia Yan found a green miscanthus.
Intermediate medicinal materials are no longer of any use to Xia Yan. However, high-level medicinal materials can still be used by Xia Yan. This is because Xia Yan himself is also improving his ability to refine elixirs. The cloaked man once said that refining elixirs
Medicine is very important for cultivators. At least you must first improve your alchemy ability to the level where you can refine ninth-grade elixirs.
A strong Spirit Emperor can refine ninth-grade elixirs. After Xia Yan entered the Spirit Emperor realm, Xia Yan continued to improve his alchemy ability. Because there were a large number of abundant medicinal materials, Xia Yan's alchemy ability also improved greatly.
Come on, now you can refine the eighth-grade elixir relatively easily.
…
"That's medicinal material!"
Xu Ming, who was crawling on a relatively steep cliff, his eyes suddenly lit up. He saw an emerald green plant more than ten meters away from him.
Xu Ming perked up and climbed over cautiously.
"It's not a medicinal material, it's an ordinary grass!" When he got closer, Xu Ming discovered that this plant was not a medicinal material, but just an ordinary grass that could be seen everywhere. Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
His fingers were already stained with blood! The clothes on his body were also scarred, almost like a piece of rag. But Xu Ming didn't care at all about this.
He adjusted his mood a little, and then continued climbing upwards.
"Haha, little guy, you are about to get lucky!"
Xia Yan floated in the air and whispered with a smile. More than 20 meters above Xu Ming is where Xia Yan placed the five intermediate medicinal herbs. After half a cup of tea, Xu Ming will be able to discover these five medicinal herbs.
.
Xia Yan even looked forward to how excited and happy Xu Ming would be when he saw these medicinal materials.
"Hiss~"
Xia Yan's finger was cut by a sharp stone again. This time, the wound was deeper. Xu Ming couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in pain, and his eyes fell on the finger. Dark red blood continued to seep out.
Xu Ming put his finger in his mouth, sucked it, and then continued climbing.
Suddenly, Xu Ming's body froze, and his eyes were completely focused on a small pile of medicinal materials of various colors not far away.
"What?"
"That's..."
Xu Ming freed up a hand and rubbed his eyes fiercely. He was afraid that he was dazzled. But when he looked carefully, the medicinal plants did not disappear, but became clearer.
"Five! There are actually five intermediate medicinal herbs!"
Xu Ming danced with excitement! Of course, he was excited at this time and did not dare to jump around. His side was a cliff. If he fell, his bones would probably be smashed into a pile of debris.
"This is..." Xu Ming looked at the green medicinal materials among them, "Miscanthus! Yes, it is Miscanthus! I have seen the intermediate medicinal material Miscanthus in a pharmacy! One Miscanthus plant is worth more than 700 gold coins!"
The medicinal materials in the Dark Night Continent are cheaper than those in the Dragon Continent. If this miscanthus were placed in the Dragon Continent, it could even be sold for more than a thousand gold coins.
Seeing Xu Ming's happy look, Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Selling these gold coins, I might be able to buy a pill! My father's illness can be cured!" Xu Ming looked at the sky, "Thank you for God's blessing..."
It was indeed God's favor for him! It was his fate to meet Xia Yan. Without Xia Yan, he would probably have returned empty-handed this time.
"That's not right!" Xu Ming frowned.
"Why do these medicinal materials seem to have been picked by others?" Xu Ming looked at the roots of the medicinal materials in confusion.
The roots of these medicinal plants are not in the soil, but exposed. Obviously, they have been picked by others.
"Could it be that someone else picked the medicinal materials and then... lost them here?" Xu Ming murmured, and at the same time, he looked around. However, there was not a single person anywhere he could see in the surrounding space.
.
"These medicinal materials must have been picked up and lost here by others. I can't take them away like this! If that person needs these medicinal materials very much, but I took them away..." Xu Ming shook his head and reluctantly took the medicinal materials.
The five medicinal plants in my hand were put down again.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yan was also a little dumbfounded!
Isn't this Xu Ming a little too stubborn? He thinks it's something someone else has lost and won't take it! This guy...
Xia Yan shook his head speechlessly.
Xu Ming did not take away the medicinal materials, nor did he leave the vicinity of these medicinal plants. He just waited. He was waiting for the person who lost the medicinal materials to come back and look for them.
"So hungry~"
Xu Ming licked his chapped lips and glanced at these medicinal plants from time to time.
"I don't know when the person who lost the medicinal materials will realize that the medicinal materials are missing and come back to look for them!" Xu Ming muttered in a low voice, then leaned up and lay down on this cliff.
"This idiot!" Xia Yan couldn't help but curse.
"Huh? Someone is talking?" Xu Ming was startled by the sudden sound. He sat up and looked around nervously. But there was still no one in his sight.
"Did I hear wrongly?" Xu Ming shook his head, the mountain breeze blowing on his face.
"You heard that right, it was me who was talking!" Xia Yan spoke again, and then the light and shadow flashed and landed next to Xu Ming.
The sudden appearance of a figure startled Xu Ming. Did this person appear too quickly? It was as if he appeared out of thin air.
"I heard that those powerful cultivators can fly! Could it be that this person can also fly?" Xu Ming thought, and looked at the sky, and then looked at the man in white who suddenly appeared.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong. The clothes Xia Yan wore were not those of the Dark Night Continent, and there were very obvious differences. Although Xu Ming had never seen much of the world, he still knew some information about the hostile Dragon Continent.
. He felt that the white clothes worn by the man in front of him seemed to be the clothes worn by humans in the legendary Dragon Continent.
But……
How could humans from the Dragon Continent appear here?
Xu Ming's eyes grew wider and wider! Full of curiosity and doubts!
"What? Do you think it's weird? It doesn't matter if I tell you, I am indeed from the Dragon Continent." Seeing Xu Ming's expression, Xia Yan couldn't help but want to laugh, so he deliberately said with a serious expression.
"Ah?" Xu Ming suddenly opened his mouth.
He suspected it was one thing, but now he was sure it was another thing.
After Xu Ming reacted, he jumped up and ran away regardless of the steepness of the cliff.
Xia Yan reached out and grabbed Xu Ming in his hand.
"You...what do you want to do...are you going to kill me?" Xu Ming was panting and struggling constantly, but with his strength, to Xia Yan, he was no different than an ant.
"Hmph, I'm going to kill you, how can you live now?" Xia Yan said coldly, "I know that you come from a poor background. In order to treat your father's illness, you constantly risk your life to collect herbs on this Qilan Mountain.
, I was very moved. That’s why I planned to help you, so I picked a few medicinal herbs for you. But you didn’t even take them, and even said that someone had lost them, and you were waiting for that person to come back and look for them, you idiot.
…”
Xia Yan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and cursed!
"What? You help me?"
"But aren't the people in Dragon Continent all very bad? You are from Dragon Continent, why would you help me?" Xu Ming finally stopped struggling and looked at Xia Yan curiously. He
I found that Xia Yan didn't seem to be as scary as the rumors, and was much kinder than those man-eating beasts.
This Xu Ming is only sixteen years old, has never seen much of the world, and is very simple at heart.
"Who said people in the Dragon Continent are bad?" Xia Yan glared and said, "There are bad people in the Dragon Continent. Are there no bad people in the Dark Night Continent? That Zhang Fang who bullied you, don't you think he is bad?
"
"Zhang Fang is a bad guy. I lent him ten gold coins, but he actually asked me to pay him back fifty gold coins." Xu Ming said angrily immediately.
"That's it! In fact, humans on both continents are the same. There are bad people everywhere and good people everywhere." Xia Yan smiled and said, "I can tell you one more thing. I am not pure.
My mother is from the Dragon Continent. My father is from the Dragon Continent.”
"You...your mother is from the Dark Night Continent?" Xu Ming was surprised.
"Well, okay, you can take these medicinal materials back and sell them to treat your father's illness." Xia Yan loosened his fingers, let go of Xu Ming, and nodded.
"This..." Xu Ming hesitated slightly, thought for a moment, then raised his head, "Thank you, my benefactor! My benefactor, why don't you go back with me."
At this time, Xu Ming was not afraid of Xia Yan at all!
"Huh?" Xia Yan was stunned, "You asked me to go back with you? Why?"
"Benefactor, although you gave me these medicinal materials, after I take them back, the bad guy Zhang Fang may see and rob my medicinal materials. You are so powerful, and with you here, he will definitely not dare." Xu Ming
Said hurriedly.
This kid originally wanted to take advantage of Xia Yan.
