Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1385 Poison (1)

?

Yun Lintian left a tiny portion of the Soul Devouring Poison inside his body in order to deceive Chen Xue later.

"This woman has interrupted my plan." Yun Lintian shook his head annoyingly.

At first, he planned to work as a servant here, but with Chen Xue's poison, he was destined to stay inside this hut forever. From now on, he could only sneak out to find information.

Naturally, Yun Lintian could leave this place directly, but that would also be leaving Ning Yue to death. Moreover, he had no clue about this Heavenhold Realm. The Profound Pill Sect was undoubtedly a good place for him to hide and slowly gathered information about this world.

Thinking of this, Yun Lintian didn't know where to start as he couldn't even find a trace of the other Beyond Heaven Relics through his mind.

"Forget it. I can afford to stay here for a while." Yun Lintian sighed to himself. 

Anyway, he could ask Hongyue, Lauya, and Madam Leisure for a clue later once the connection between him and the Land of Beyond Heaven recovered. They should be able to come up with a good suggestion. After all, they were natives here.

"Let's see how she is now." Yun Lintian thought of Ning Yue and spread his Divine Sense to locate her.

At this moment, Ning Yue and Hao Lie had already arrived at the forest's entrance. A faint roar of a profound beast could be heard from time to time from a far distance, making Hao Lie tremble slightly.

Ning Yue looked at him and suggested that he could stay in the perimeter area.

Hao Lie quickly shook his head. "No. How could I let you go alone?"

Ning Yue looked at Hao Lie strangely and nodded.

Afterward, Ning Yue quickly entered the forest and followed her usual paths.

Hao Lie slapped his face lightly and said to himself. "Hao Lie, oh, Hao Lie. You have to be braver."

With that, he quickly chased Ning Yue into the forest.

With Ruler Profound Realm's strength, the four outer disciples were unconcerned. They unhurriedly followed the two into the forest.

Along the way, Ning Yue would point at the second-rank herbs she found and let Hao Lie pick them up.

At first, Hao Lie didn't feel anything wrong with it, as he knew that Ning Yue was talented in this regard. 

However, as time passed, he began to understand how terrifying Ning Yue's talent was. She could basically identify the herbs with a glance, and the accuracy was a full hundred percent.

"You are extremely talented. Why don't you apply for an herb appraiser position?" Hao Lie asked curiously. If Ning Yue could become an appraiser, her status would be even better than an outer disciple. She didn't have to suffer a bad treatment like this at all.

Ning Yue shook her head, refusing to reply. 

In fact, she had applied for it a few times in the past, but all of them were rejected unreasonably by the outer division's elder. Later, she learned that it was Qin Weizhe who bribed the elder to reject her application.

Since then, Ning Yue ultimately gave up the intention of becoming an herb appraiser. As long as Qin Weizhe was there, she would never be able to rise. This was also one of many reasons she resigned to her fate.

Seeing her like this, Hao Lie didn't continue the topic further.

"Hey! The harvest is quite rich, isn't it?" Suddenly, a tall man with a long sword on his waist appeared beside the two and glanced at Hao Lie's bamboo basket.

Hao Lie recognized this person. He was Liang Zun, Huang Yuchun's lackey.

Hao Lie looked at him coldly and asked. "What are you going to do?"

Liang Zun's face darkened slightly. "If it wasn't because I still needed you to gather the herbs for me, you would have become a cold corpse by now. How dare you speak to me?"

Hao Lie snorted coldly and said nothing further. "Hmph!"

Liang Zun waved his hand and took all the herbs in Hao Lie's basket away. "Heh. Go ahead. Don't let me see you slack off."

Hao Lie was so angry that his entire body trembled, but he couldn't do anything. This powerless feeling wasn't new to him, but he could never get used to it, no matter what.

Ning Yue was relatively calm, as she had expected this beforehand. She took a step forward, resuming her journey.

Hao Lie took a deep breath and followed Ning Yue deep into the forest.

"It's good that you have a great tolerance, but how long are you going to endure this?" Yun Lintian's voice resounded in Ning Yue's mind. "If you want to play with them, you can pick some strong poisonous plants and let them take them away. This could also be considered a first step to improve your strength."

Ning Yue was taken aback by Yun Lintian's suggestion. After a brief hesitation, her gaze quickly darted around, looking for a poisonous herb that few people could recognize.

After traveling for another twenty minutes, Ning Yu finally found a gorgeous feather-like grass nearby a creek. This white flower was similar to a third-rank herb called the Star Feathering Grass, but in fact, it was an extremely poisonous plant—Bone Withering Grass.

"Is that a third-rank flower?" Hao Lie was attracted by the beautiful appearance of the Bone Withering Grass. In his opinion, this must be a third or higher rank herb without a doubt.

Ning Yue nodded. Her heart throbbed from nervousness but soon calmed down as she took a few deep breaths.

"Do you want me to pick it up?" Hao Lie asked.

Ning Yue shook her head, indicating that she would go by herself.

"Alright. Be careful." Hao Lie naturally had no objection.

Ning Yue cautiously arrived in front of the Bone Withering Grass and took a small hoe out, digging on the ground around it. Her slow and cautious movement made Liang Zun and the other three disciples look over in doubt.

"We hit the jackpot, Brother Liang! That should be the third-rank Star Feathering Grass." A thin young man beside Liang Zun said excitedly.

"Oh?" Liang Zun's eyes lit up. He looked at the three and said in a low voice. "Don't forget to shut your mouth tightly when we go out."

The three nodded firmly and made a zip-locking gesture on their lips.

The four had no idea what kind of disaster they were about to face…
