Chapter 204: Concentrating Grass
A gust of wind blew through the lush forest, dispersing the fog lingering in the sky and revealing the people confronting each other below.
"What a coincidence, fellow Taoists from Tianyan Sect."
A handsome and tall figure stood there with a sword raised, looking at the two people opposite with a smile.
Lin Xiaoman frowned. She didn't expect to meet that wandering cultivator. She looked at Wang Musen. When the people from Yanyue Sect saw them picking the Huanxin Lotus, they came to snatch it away, but that group of wandering cultivators didn't chase them. She thought she would never meet him again in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, she met him again.
However, this time there was only one other person, while she and Wang Musen were two.
But, he is a sword cultivator! The same sword cultivator as Chen Shuyan!
It was because she was familiar with Chen Shuyan that she knew how powerful sword cultivators were!
"Yes, I don't know what to call you, fellow Daoist. I'm Lin Xiaoman from the Tianyan Sect, and this is my senior brother, Wang Musen."
Lin Xiaoman smiled and bowed to the other party. It would be best if they could avoid fighting. There were several fourth-level spiritual plants, Baiyehua, here that they came to find. If they could handle it peacefully, they could divide them equally.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Lin and Fellow Daoist Wang. Zhang Yuanxiu is at home and he is a free cultivator in Yunmeng City."
Zhang Yuanxiu bowed and smiled at them, then looked towards the cave on the right. There was a piece of soil in the cave with several lily-of-the-valley plants growing in it. The guardian monster had just been dealt with by the combined efforts of the three of them. Now it was a question of how to distribute the spoils.
"There are five stalks of lily of the valley in there. How about we split them up?"
Lin Xiaoman was delighted and exchanged glances with Wang Musen. He also had no problem with it, so she nodded. "Okay."
However, there are only 5 plants. How are they going to divide them among the three of them?
"That fourth-level monster is useful to me. How about giving it to me? I only want one Hundred-Leaf Flower. How about you each get two?"
Although Lin Xiaoman wanted the monster's meat, getting two Hundred-Leaf Flowers and Wang Musen also getting two was already a very good result, so he nodded immediately.
"no problem."
Their mission requires them to hand in two Hundred-Leaf Flowers, and they can take the remaining two to the sect to exchange for points, which can be exchanged for 100 points.
"Okay, let's go in and pick the lily of the valley."
Lin Xiaoman nodded and was about to follow him into the cave, but was stopped by Wang Musen.
"Be careful."
Listening to Wang Musen's reminder in her mind, Lin Xiaoman nodded silently. She would naturally be careful, but it was only the second time they met, and she definitely didn't trust Zhang Yuanxiu, but she still had to keep a good face.
Following Zhang Yuanxiu into the cave, Wang Musen followed behind them. The cave was a bit deep. When they reached the innermost part, there was a flat ground leading straight up, and sunlight was shining down from above, falling right on the lilies of the valley.
"Here it is. Do you guys... want to pick it yourself?"
Zhang Yuanxiu looked back at them and saw that Lin Xiaoman and Wang Musen were far away from him. He couldn't help but laugh. He knew that they were worried, but he didn't say it out loud.
"Are you going to participate in the Fuyuan Tournament?"
"Let's pick it ourselves, um, and get ready to compete."
Lin Xiaoman nodded and walked over, quickly picked four plants, then stepped back and moved closer to Wang Musen.
Zhang Yuanxiu first picked the Hundred-Leaf Flower that he wanted, then looked at her, "Fellow Daoist Lin, don't worry, we have no grudges against each other. Besides, I'm just a casual cultivator. I couldn't ask for more friends like you, disciples of a great sect, and also talisman cultivators."
"ah?"
"You disciples of the big sects don't know how difficult it is for us independent cultivators to make friends with you, especially the talisman cultivators and alchemy cultivators."
Wang Musen nodded beside him, "That's true. We Fu cultivators are very popular outside."
Lin Xiaoman's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Wang Musen. Who was he most wary of just now?!
The three of them came out of the cave safely, and Lin Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief. They had completed one mission safely, and now they had to go to the vicinity of Xuanyue City to complete the second mission.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, could you please leave your spiritual energy with us so that we can join a circle of immortal friends? If there's an opportunity to cooperate in the future, we can work together again."
When they were about to leave, Zhang Yuanxiu suddenly spoke.
"Well, okay."
Lin Xiaoman hesitated for a moment. More friends mean more paths. After all, Zhang Yuanxiu is also a sword cultivator, and his fighting ability is still very strong. Maybe he can become her potential talisman customer.
The three of them added each other to the immortal friend circle, and without staying for long, they left separately.
"This mission of finding spiritual plants is pretty good. I hope the second mission will go as smoothly as well."
On the way, Wang Musen couldn't help but sigh, why were there so many obstacles and so difficult when he went out to complete the mission in the past.
Lin Xiaoman touched her spirit beast bag. This was all thanks to Baibai. With Baibai around, it was much easier for her to find spirit plants.
The area where the second mission was located was not very far from where they were now, and the two planned to go directly through the misty forest.
"If we can find more of this Concentrating Spirit Grass mission, we can complete one more mission and accumulate it."
Wang Musen looked at the second task, "Also, this is the main ingredient for refining the Soul-Concentrating Pill. If we can pick more, then even if we don't hand it over to the sect to complete the task, we can take it to Danfeng and ask them to help refine the Soul-Concentrating Pill. Danfeng will only take 30% of the pill, and the rest is ours."
"Spirit Concentration Pill? This is good, very expensive, even more expensive than the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Of course Lin Xiaoman knew this. She had specially gone out to grab this mission. This elixir is effective for those in the Foundation Establishment Stage and even the Core Formation Stage, and it is for cultivating mental power.
"Yes, yes. I hope we can find the Concentrating Spirit Grass smoothly this time. It would be best if there are dozens of them. Two of them can be counted as one mission."
Lin Xiaoman smiled, "If we could have that many, we wouldn't have to worry about our tasks this year."
She felt speechless when she talked about it. In this world of cultivating immortals, being a cultivator seemed to be no different from working as a cow or a horse in her previous life. She also had to complete KPI assessments every month every year. She had to achieve performance goals to get rewards, or she would be punished if she didn't.
However, the better thing about the world of cultivating immortals is that no matter what, whether doing these tasks or anything else, it is all for the purpose of cultivation, and what you get in the end is that your cultivation level will actually increase, and most of it will not be consumed on other things.
"I think I can do it. It's just ahead."
The two men fell down and jumped from the cliff in front, preparing to land. According to the sect map, the Concentrating Spirit Grass grew in the valley under the cliff. From then on, they had to find it on their own.
"Be careful."
The two of them slowly descended. The further they went, the less light they could see, as if something had swallowed up the sunlight shining down from the sky, and the surroundings were encroaching into darkness.
