Chapter 821 A Full Load and a Quick Getaway
Ye Xuanyue's gaze swept around. There were actually quite a few medicinal herbs planted here.
She searched for a moment, but then heard Hou Xiaoyong's extremely excited voice from ahead.
"That is… that seems to be Purple Spirit Bells!"
Ye Xuanyue looked over and truly saw several small purple flowers growing on the soil not far away. Their appearance was very charming.
"And this one… Isn't this Wind Mercy Grass?"
Hou Xiaoyong was getting excited now.
Although the medicinal herbs here weren't top-tier, and their age wasn't that great—a hundred years at most was already impressive—they couldn't compare to the elite herb gardens found in relics.
But the sheer quantity of these herbs was huge. It absolutely counted as a massive windfall.
Hou Xiaoyong licked his lips. His voice trembled a little from excitement.
"Quick… be quick. Let's gather these herbs quickly. Otherwise, it won't be good if the Spirit Beasts come back and find out…"
As he spoke, he carefully picked them one by one by hand. Then he took out empty Jade Boxes from his space and collected the herbs inside.
There was no other way. These herbs couldn't be directly stored in a Spatial Ring—doing so would damage their medicinal properties. So he could only proceed slowly like this.
But Hou Xiaoyong's mood was incredibly excited. He tried to keep his hands from shaking as he carefully placed each herb into his Jade Boxes, then stored them in his Spatial Ring.
Ye Xuanyue's movements were much more casual. She also had many Boxes in her space that could be used to preserve herbs. Such things were everywhere in the Pharmacist Association, the most basic of items.
She roughly scanned the area. Hou Xiaoyong's knowledge of medicinal herbs wasn't as good as hers, so he could only gather them haphazardly.
Ye Xuanyue, however, seemed much more focused. She directly sought out the herbs with higher value. These herbs weren't from the same batch, so their ages naturally differed.
Her actions looked casual, but her technique was very gentle and wouldn't cause any harm to the herbs. She nimbly collected them one by one.
Then she heard Leng Moran suddenly speak,
"Wait, Xuanyue, hurry up."
Back then, he had even broken the Formation of the Voice Listening Pavilion.
To be honest, the Formations set up by these Spirit Beasts were much cruder—just relatively ordinary concealment Formations. Leng Moran could still break them.
His gaze held a sharp glint as he said in a low voice,
"Take ten steps to the left. There's a rock. Move it to the right—then place it on top of another white rock."
Ye Xuanyue watched him instruct Hou Xiaoyong with a smile. Leng Moran's tone was still quite convincing.
Hou Xiaoyong scurried about busily.
Ye Xuanyue smiled, then said softly,
"Break it."
As soon as Ye Xuanyue spoke, the spiritual energy suddenly burst forth violently. A pleasant fragrance of medicinal herbs rushed to her nose. She took a deep breath.
This fresh, clean scent of medicinal herbs instantly lifted one's mood.
And with the surge of spiritual power, the empty land before their eyes suddenly revealed vast stretches of herb gardens! Streams of water flowed around the plots, and countless medicinal herbs grew in abundance.
Hou Xiaoyong's eyes nearly popped out of his head in surprise—he hadn't expected that young man to actually break the Formation so easily!
These two were truly amazing. One could refine pills, the other understood Formations… and most importantly, at such a young age, their Cultivation Strength was frightening. He wondered what their origins were, which family could raise such descendants.
But he couldn't dwell on that now. His only thought was to hurry and grab as many medicinal herbs as possible!
