Chapter 35: Fortune and Honor Are Seeked in Danger
As the sword descended, Luo Diandian looked at the mountains in front of him.
Although the mountains are shrouded in fog and appear extremely dark when viewed from above, the outer areas look no different from ordinary mountains when viewed from below.
"We can just collect spiritual herbs along the edge. The last time I went there were still a lot left!"
Shao Xiaoling said to Luo Diandian.
Luo Diandian said she would listen to him.
The two of them then started up the mountain carrying the baskets.
Under the leadership of Shao Xiaoling, they came to a remote path.
I saw a few flying star grasses and orchids blooming silently.
These are all relatively common ninth-grade low-grade spiritual plants.
Shao Xiaoling taught Luo Diandian the picking technique.
Try to loosen the soil around the herbs first, then slowly pry the herbs, and finally pull them out by the roots.
It is best not to damage the spiritual herbs with a shovel, otherwise the spiritual energy in them will be lost.
After being taught once, Luo Diandian started to learn it in an orderly manner.
He carefully repeated the actions he had just observed Shao Xiaoling perform.
After a while, a piece of Flying Star Grass was obtained. Although there were some scratches on the surface, it was still a good start!
"Not bad, keep it up!" Shao Xiaoling encouraged.
After digging up several flying star grasses in succession, Luo Diandian gradually got the hang of it.
Dare to try to collect orchids.
At this moment, the two of them did not notice that there was a pair of dark green eyes hidden in the bushes behind them, observing their every move.
After digging for less than an hour, the two of them had picked all the spiritual plants they could see around them, until there was no more spiritual plant left in this area.
Looking at the cleared land, Shao Xiaoling smiled.
"Looks like we need to change places!"
"Let's go look for it again."
On weekdays, Shao Xiaoling goes around looking for spiritual herbs, which involves a certain amount of luck.
This place was the one she had been looking for for a long time last time, but she didn't expect it to be cleared out so quickly.
"Wait, I have a solution!"
Luo Diandian called Shao Xiaoling.
Shao Xiaoling turned around with a curious look on her face, "What's the solution?"
Luo Diandian circulated his spiritual power, and a faint breath of wood-attributed spiritual energy was revealed.
After feeling it for a moment, it seemed that his own spiritual energy was sensing a certain direction.
"There might be one here." Luo nodded and pointed in a direction.
"You still have wood spiritual roots!" Shao Xiaoling said happily.
She has a single fire spiritual root, so she doesn't have such a function. She can only wander around and try her luck.
But now it’s different with Luo Diandian, it’s like having a built-in navigation.
"If I had known, I would have brought you with me sooner!" Shao Xiaoling regretted it deeply.
"I can only sense the approximate location. It's up to you to find the spiritual herb!"
Luo Diandian knows her own weight.
Only Shao Xiaoling, who has rich experience in collecting so many spiritual herbs, would know which spiritual herbs grow in which specific places.
The two of them talked and laughed as they walked, and collected any scattered spiritual herbs they found along the way.
......
"Look! What is that?"
Suddenly, Shao Xiaoling seemed to see something, pointed to a place in front, and exclaimed in surprise.
Luo Diandian followed her gaze.
I was also stunned. It turned out to be a red scarlet flower, not just one, but six in total, and they were almost ripe!
"A ninth-grade, top-grade red vermilion flower can be sold for at least ten low-grade spirit stones!"
Shao Xiaoling looked at the red flowers in front of her, with a burning flame in her eyes.
Luo Diandian was also surprised. She didn't expect that the red vermilion flower was so valuable. One plant could be equivalent to her two months' allowance!
"Then let's go pick them when they're ripe!"
Luo Diandian hurriedly urged Shao Xiaoling.
"No, with so many red vermilion flowers, there must be a companion monster guarding them!"
Shao Xiaoling looked solemn.
The red vermilion flowers are indeed precious and valuable, but they also need to be alive to get them!
Sure enough, a figure jumped out from the bushes.
It had a silver-gray body, dark green pupils, and was half the height of a man. It stood in front of the red vermilion flowers and bared its teeth at the two of them.
"It's a Wind Chaser Wolf. Wind Chaser Wolves live in groups. If there are six red vermilion flowers here, there should be six Wind Chaser Wolves."
Shao Xiaoling explained.
No wonder she had felt like something was watching them. It must be that they had mistakenly entered the territory of the Wind-Chasing Wolf and were being secretly watched by it.
"It's the only one guarding here now. The others should go hunting."
Shao Xiaoling pulled Luo Diandian back, staring closely at the Wind-Chasing Wolf in front of him.
At this time, the Wind-Chasing Wolf did not dare to rush forward rashly, but roared at the two men, trying to drive them away.
Shao Xiaoling pulled Luo Diandian back to the safety belt area.
"This Wind Chasing Wolf should be at the ninth level, upper grade, corresponding to the late stage of Qi Refining."
"One of us is in the early stage of Qi Refining, and the other is in the middle stage of Qi Refining. We should not be able to defeat him."
"Should we retreat?"
Shao Xiaoling looked regretful, after all, the temptation of the five red vermilion flowers was too great!
Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept that the two of them were not good enough in terms of cultivation.
"I have a plan! I can lure it away. You're quite skilled, so you can pick the red vermilion flowers while it's away!"
Luo Diandian suddenly spoke.
"No! This is too dangerous. What if something goes wrong?"
Shao Xiaoling refused without any hesitation.
Luo Diandian patted his chest to comfort her.
"Don't worry, I have a plan! Could it be that you really want to miss these five red and vermilion flowers?"
Although Shao Xiaoling really wanted these red vermilion flowers, she would never joke about the safety of her friends' lives!
"No, how can I let you do such a dangerous thing!"
"Hey, just believe me!"
Luo Diandian looked confident of winning, as if there would be absolutely no problem.
"Do you think I would joke about my own safety? I have a trump card!"
Shao Xiaoling: ...
Looking at Luo Diandian's confident look, everyone has something hidden in their heart, which is someone else's secret.
Her heart couldn't help but relax a little.
In the end, Luo Diandian couldn't resist and nodded in agreement.
"But let me make it clear first, if anything goes wrong, we will retreat immediately!"
Shao Xiaoling said seriously.
Luo nodded obediently.
So he told her his plan.
The two of them started discussing it directly.
…
After reaching a consensus, the two of them immediately returned secretly to the place where they had just discovered the six red vermilion flowers.
At this time, the Wind Chasing Wolf was in his nest on hay not far away, patrolling around.
Suddenly, spiritual energy filled the area around the red scarlet flower, emitting bursts of red light.
“Now!”
Shao Xiaoling said.
Luo Diandian rushed out instantly, pulled up a red vermilion flower and ran away.
Before the Wind-Chasing Wolf could react, he saw the human not far away instantly pluck away the red vermilion flower he was guarding!
With an angry roar towards the sky, the Wind-Chasing Wolf chased in the direction where Luo Diandian left.
Until the Wind-Chasing Wolf disappeared from view, Shao Xiaoling took advantage of it not noticing and immediately rushed forward as fast as possible to dig up the red vermilion flower.
