At this moment, Bai Ying was searching for spiritual herbs with the people of Lingxiao Sect.
Besides obtaining the inherited treasure, another objective of this Shadow Valley trial is to acquire herbs. The one who obtains the most spiritual herbs will receive the greatest reward.
These rewards were jointly issued by all the sects, and they are all spiritual treasures that are not usually seen.
Bai Ying heard that it contained a rare ingredient called dragon marrow, which was exactly what she needed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, she is determined to win first place this time.
Bai Ying and her fellow disciples searched for herbs together. Although they had looked at the map of Shadow Valley before entering, they did not find many spiritual herbs.
Wang Miaomiao sighed helplessly. "The few spiritual herbs we found are pitiful; they're not even enough for all of us. It seems we still need to find that spiritual herb garden!"
"But the spirit herb garden can move, and we have no idea where it is. Even if the trial took place in a certain place last time, it might not be in the next one."
These people tried every possible way to search, and even Bai Ying released her divine sense, but even so, she still couldn't find anything.
Bai Ying frowned deeply.
Just then, five or six cultivators walked towards them.
Wang Miaomiao frowned immediately and summoned her magic weapon. She thought these people were there to steal the spiritual herbs from them.
They encountered countless such people along the way. Wang Miaomiao had long since grown disgusted with these freeloaders.
But those people quickly shouted:
"We're not here to steal the spirit herbs; we just have some information to tell you. We know where the spirit herb garden is."
"The Spirit Herb Garden!" This time, not only the cultivators of the Lingxiao Sect, but even Bai Ying's eyes lit up for a moment.
"Yes! It's the Spirit Herb Garden. The Spirit Herb Garden suddenly appeared, and now there are a lot of people gathered there. But only one person can enter the Spirit Herb Garden at a time. As soon as someone enters, the Spirit Herb Garden will immediately close, so the group is now fighting over who can go in."
The speaker was named Yuan Shijie. His eyes remained fixed on Bai Ying as he spoke: "You might not remember me, but I was one of the people Bai Xiushi rescued just now. I know you're very strong, Bai Xiushi; if you went, you could defeat everyone! That's why I came to find you!"
He paused and then said:
"It's just that I don't know if that Nascent Soul cultivator will go. If he does, he will definitely kill you immediately. Even those of us who know what Ruan Xinrou did will probably not escape death."
Yuan Shijie had previously mocked Bai Ying, saying that when he first entered the trial grounds, he valued Ruan Xinrou the most, but he never expected such a change to happen.
If those things hadn't happened, he would have immediately thought of Ruan Xinrou upon discovering the Spirit Herb Garden, but now he's looking for Bai Ying instead.
“I have no choice; my sister is sick. I need a Moon-Gazing Grass from the Spirit Herb Garden to cure her. So I have to go, and I hope you can consider it.”
The people of Lingxiao Sect frowned. Although the Spirit Herb Garden was very tempting, there was also the risk that the Nascent Soul cultivator might go there again.
If he were to see Bai Ying, she would surely die.
The people from Lingxiao Sect were about to persuade Bai Ying to refuse, but to their surprise, Bai Ying readily agreed.
"good!"
The people from Lingxiao Sect stared wide-eyed, and Wang Qi shouted, "Junior Sister Bai!"
"Don't worry, I can beat Colin."
Bai Ying was very interested in the Dragon Marrow. Unlike others, she needed it to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, upon learning of the Spirit Herb Garden, she was determined to go. However, this person was right; Colin could return at any time. For the safety of their fellow disciples, they decided it was best not to go.
Bai Ying told the people in front of her her idea, and they strongly objected, "It's too dangerous, none of us should go!"
Bai Ying shook her head: "Don't worry, even if I can't win, I can escape. After all, I'm at the late Golden Core stage. I'll be fine."
Seeing Bai Ying's determination, the group knew she had no choice but to go and had to compromise.
"Okay, so as not to hold you back, we'd better not go. But you must be careful, and if you see Colin, run away immediately, understand?"
"I know, don't worry."
—
After parting ways with the Lingxiao Sect members, Bai Ying immediately went with Yuan Shijie to search for the Spirit Herb Garden, but she didn't expect to encounter two people on the way.
One was her second senior brother, Gu Qingzhou, whom she hadn't seen since her rebirth, and the other was Xiao Yu, whom she never wanted to see again.
Gu Qingzhou saw Bai Ying and quickly went to greet her, "Fifth Junior Sister, it's been a long time. I didn't expect so many things to have happened since I returned from my travels, and you've even left the sect..."
Bai Ying nodded at him.
Bai Ying had a good impression of Gu Qingzhou, probably because he often traveled around and had less contact with Ruan Xinrou, and was also the one least influenced by Ruan Xinrou.
When Bai Ying was targeted by her fellow disciples before, Gu Qingzhou even spoke up for her. Although it was just a few words and no real action, it was still a great gesture for Bai Ying at that time.
Upon seeing Bai Ying, he said to her, "May I speak to you privately? I won't take up your time, just one sentence."
Unlike her usual confrontational approach with her fellow disciples, Bai Ying nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yu was stunned when he saw Bai Ying.
His eyes were fixed on Bai Ying, and there was even a hint of greed in them.
Ever since Bai Ying told him that she never wanted to see him again, he went to find Ruan Xinrou and desperately told himself that he only liked Ruan Xinrou.
