Chapter 123: Let the Journey Begin
Soon the group was done shopping, technically speaking, it was Luo Qianqian who was done shopping for the group. Luo Qianqian showed a satisfied smile when she saw the two heavy bags of essentials lying in Su Liancheng and Feng Qing’s arms.
They each took a pill for suspending breathing, it was necessary because miasma prevailed in the forest.
The four exchanged a look and walked into the forest amid people’s stare.
Roars and hisses rang as soon as they walked in the forest, it wasn’t hard to imagine what is was like in the depth of the forest.
Some people were here to look for rare herbs like Luo Qianqian and Murong Yun, but there was no lack of people who were here to look for treasures so they could make a fortune in the outside world.
Luo Qianqian noticed it got gloomy immediately as they set foot on the forest, ‘it must be more intimidating at night’, Luo Qianqian thought to herself.
“Xiao Bai, show me the way please.” Luo Qianqian asked Xiao Bai in the space.
“Master, I’m only able to show you the way when we are actually in the forest and when I can smell the herbs.” Xiao Bai replied Luo Qianqian in the space.
Luo Qianqian and Murong Yun exchanged a look, “Murong Yun, which way are we going?” How she wished there were things like smart phones and GPS in this time and space.
“Qianqian, I trust you on this one.” Murong Yun replied.
Luo Qianqian withdrew the prescription that Xiao Bai had given her, she checked every herb, the name and nature, such as they were likely to be found in which environment.
“Serpent Flower, sciophilous, adapted to live in shade, only blossom after being irritated by poisonous serpent’s blood and and it takes fifty years for them to blossom.”
That sounded so demanding! Serpent? Poisonous serpent? Venom? Fifty years?
Luo Qianqian was so mad that she wished she could tear the prescription up, then she took a few breaths and calmed down, Xiao Bai had made painstaking efforts to draw pictures on this prescription.
“Guys, let’s look for this Serpent Flower first, opinions?” Luo Qianqian asked the group.
The boys nodded in unison.
“Good, we need to find poisonous serpent first, they must live in caves, yeah?” Luo Qianqian muttered.
Su Liancheng cleared his throat and shot a few glimpse at Murong Yun, “Sister-in-law, it looks like you’ve forgotten what your fiance is capable of.”
Hearing that, Luo Qianqian’s eyes sparkled, yes indeed, she had forgotten about Murong Yun’s capability, even herself could feel as far as one hundred away, she had no idea how far Murong Yun could feel, but she was sure that must be a large number.
Murong Yun closed his eyes and regulated his breaths, Luo Qianqian who was standing right next to him could feel strong aura was travelling under her feet… …
Soon Murong Yun opened his eyes and pointed left, “This way.”
“You’ve found it?” Luo Qianqian sounded so excited, “That was fast.”
“When can I be as good as you, I can only feel one hundred meters away, and big buildings or rivers will affect me.” Luo Qianqian expressed admiration for Murong Yun.
“Trust me, you will be better than me soon.” Murong Yun said in a serious manner, Luo Qianqian smiled for she had took that as a comfort.
However, what Luo Qianqian didn’t know was Murong Yun was indeed being serious, he was almost sure that Qianqian was one of them, and it was just a matter of time before Qianqian unleashed her potential.
‘Qianqian, you are indeed full of surprises, I’m getting to know you better every day.’
Su Liancheng and Feng Qing walked behind them, exchanging anecdotes in the Jianghu Underworld, soon Luo Qianqian was drawn to the fun stories.
The path they were walking on wasn’t technically a road, it was strewn with thorns, spears of barbed wild grass flourished abundantly, it was hard to tread on it.
And the wild grass was about half meter tall, soon the train of Luo Qianqian’s gown was in rags.
Murong Yun offered to carry her in him arms, but Luo Qianqian turned him down, she withdrew Flesh from her sleeve and with several movements she cut the wild grass by the roots, carving out a way for her friends.
“Ha, guys, look, Flesh is doing such a great job, I don’t even have to use my full strength, it looks like it knows what I’m thinking!” Luo Qianqian exclaimed.
Su Liancheng and Feng Qing looked at each other in astonishment, “Flesh is such a treasure, but look at Her Highness, she is using it as herbcide?’
“Sister-in-law, are you sure you want to use Flesh to cut grass roots? That’s literally like using a sledge-hammer on a gnat!” Su Liancheng shouted.
But Su Liancheng zipped his lips after Murong Yun cast him a cold glimpse, ‘She can do whatever makes her happy, she can use a sledge-hammer on a gnat as long as she is happy!’
“What did you just say, Liancheng? Sorry I got a bit carried away cutting the roots, ahha, this is so much fun.” Luo Qianqian asked.
“Hehe, nothing, I just said thank you for being the trailblazer.” Su Liancheng put on a big smile.
The group didn’t use Lightness Skill because they didn’t want to miss any opportunity to find herbs.
They took their first break at sunset for miasma became more dense and they couldn’t see anything.
“Shall we just call it a day?” Luo Qianqian asked.
Murong Yun nodded, he knew how much they all wanted to find the herbs as soon as possible, but he didn’t want to take any risks, Luo Qianqian was his fiancee, Su Liancheng was his best friend in the world, Feng Qing grew up with him and they had gone through fire and water for so many times together, so he agreed they should call it a day.
With that Murong Yun sat in meditation and created a space for the four of them where miasma was cut off.
