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."
A trace of ferocity showed in his eyes.
"No matter what, I'll make those herb thieves pay dearly!"
Ye Xuanyue and Leng Moran sat on Hei Yao, moving swiftly across the Gobi Desert. They were already far from that oasis by now.
Hou Xiaoyong grinned foolishly. They had truly struck it rich this time. He looked at Ye Xuanyue, observing the girl's calm brows and eyes, and couldn't help but admire her composure.
He grinned from ear to ear, then spoke,
"This time we made a fortune… could you refine more Elixirs? I know there's another large underground marketplace, though it's a bit farther away. Let's cooperate. You refine the Elixirs, and I'll sell them. I guarantee we can make a huge profit! What's most lacking here are Elixirs!"
Ye Xuanyue's expression remained indifferent. Then she spoke,
"First, take out what you promised me."
For Ye Xuanyue, all she wanted now was to break into the Dragon Clan. Everything else was not within her considerations.
