Chapter 145: Forest of Fireflies, Have I Seen a Hundred-Year-Old Herb Before?

After experiencing the incident at Demon Subduing Mountain, the pace of the two had obviously sped up a lot.

Was the change in Demon Subduing Mountain range good or bad?

Previously, Su Yi had a guess, and that was the legend of Demon Subduing Mountain.

Legend had it that Demon Subduing Mountain was an ancient demon land suppressed by the upper realm’s mighty figures, which was why there was ancient demon powder on demon fall mountain.

However, what did this legend have to do with the erosion of the demonic qi of the immortal sects?

The answer was yes. There was a demon word in common among them.

Moreover, the invasion of the demonic qi could make demon beasts lose their minds. What if the demonic qi invaded the body of a cultivator?

They did not know whether the demonic Qi was contagious or not, but it seemed that it was not contagious at the moment. They had to be careful about this.

Otherwise, the Central Plains would be in trouble, and it would be chaotic. This news had to be spread!

Due to this, Su Yi ordered the cultivators from the demon hunting squad to stop their demon hunting operations and rush back to the Nie family to report this matter. For this, he even gave them the token that represented his ident.i.ty. He also asked the Nie family to pay attention to this matter.

Li Mengxi also felt the severity of the changes on Demon Subduing Mountain. Just as Su Yi thought, the term ‘demon’ was too deep in their minds.

Even the central sky region probably did not have any accurate information about the demons. Perhaps only after they ascended to the spirit world would the demon system be fully developed.

Therefore, the appearance of the demonic qi erosion was not only a crisis for the entire great desolate region, it might even affect the entire next generation.

…

At this moment, Su Yi and Li Mengxi had already left the Demon Subduing Mountain range.

At this moment, they were walking slowly through a forest. There was a small path in the forest. It was likely that cultivators had been running here for many years.

The small path was filled with trees from time to time. The terrain was not as steep and dangerous as the Demon Subduing Mountain range.

Moreover, compared to the demon beasts in the Demon Subduing Mountain range, the demon beast realm here was not worth mentioning to the two of them.

This forest path occasionally pa.s.sed by some small demon beasts in the late stage of the qi condensation realm and was casually killed by Su Yi’s sword finger. In the eyes of other cultivators, it was so easy.

However, it was indeed easy. With Su Yi’s current cultivation and strength, not to mention the qi condensation realm, even early stage foundation establishment demon beasts would not be able to withstand a single finger of his.

One had to know that Su Yi’s attributes were among the best among cultivators in the same realm. Against some demon beasts of the qi condensation realm, it would be truly embarra.s.sing if he could not kill them in an instant.

The two figures were moving at high speed, one in front and one behind. Suddenly, Li Mengxi stopped and her gaze swept over an inconspicuous place.

“What’s wrong?”

Sensing Li Mengxi’s strange behavior, Su Yi turned his head and saw that Li Mengxi had stopped. He could not help but ask in puzzlement.

Li Mengxi looked at the inconspicuous place and narrowed her eyes as if she was confirming something. Then, she calmly explained, “fellow Daoist Su, to tell you the truth, my mission in the immortal sect this time is to find a hundred-year-old fluorescent herb.”

Li Mengxi said this, then, her body moved slightly and she slowly walked to the side of a small stream.

In the middle of the small stream, there was a small bulge of gra.s.s that was emitting a faint light. It was still daytime, and if one did not take a closer look, one would not be able to see anything strange about this gra.s.s.

Li Mengxi came to the edge of the small stream, and with a light tap of her toes, she activated her true essence. Then, like a dragonfly skimming the water, she arrived at the location of the fluorescent gra.s.s.

With a light wave of her hand, the multicolored light scattered, and soon, the fluorescent herb disappeared.

He knew that it had been collected by Li Mengxi, so he also walked over curiously. Collecting medicinal herbs that were more than a hundred years old was really rare.

He sighed inwardly. Little did he know that his immortal sect’s mission was even more ridiculous, directly sending him to explore a secret realm.

Just as he walked to the side of the stream, he saw Li Mengxi walk back with a disappointed look on her face, as if she had already expected this.

She looked at Su Yi, who seemed to be confiding in her, and said lightly, “looks like I’m thinking too much. It’s easier said than done to find a hundred-year-old fluorescent herb. Moreover, I’ve never seen what a hundred-year-old medicinal herb looks like before. Sigh…”

It was as if she was complaining, but at the same time, it was as if she was narrating. At the end, she was already beginning to sound somewhat resentful.

This made Su Yi laugh. If he was not a professional herb gatherer, it was indeed very rare to see a hundred-year-old medicinal herb.

Even hunters who specialized in gathering medicinal herbs in the wild would not be able to see a hundred-year-old medicinal herb in their lifetime. Not to mention a cultivator like Li Mengxi who had just stepped onto the path of immortality for less than a year.

This was normal. After all, these things required fortuitous encounters.

“I’ve seen it before,” he said with a chuckle, a profound look in his eyes.

Long ago, he had collected a thousand-year-old Thunder Bamboo. Naturally, he could recognize the appearance of the medicinal material.

Moreover, he had used the thousand-year-old Thunder Bamboo to refine an immortal-patterned Dao-grade foundation establishment pill.

Although he had given it to Nie Ling in the end, he did not know if that girl had consumed it…

When Li Mengxi heard Su Yi’s words, her beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light, but she still asked in doubt.

“Have you really seen it before?”

She did not dare to believe it. They had also activated their immortal destiny on the same day, but why did she have the feeling that Su Yi’s experience was much more than hers.

He even looked like he had experienced some vicissitudes of life. He did not seem like someone of the same age at all.

“Of course, the medicinal herb that I gathered last time was a thousand-year-old Thunder Bamboo. If it’s a hundred years old, I believe there will definitely be some changes.”

Hearing this, Li Mengxi’s small mouth slightly opened, somewhat surprised.

She did not expect that the medicinal herb that Su Yi gathered was actually a thousand-year-old? Did this medicinal herb really exist in the great desolate region?

Although it was a bit unbelievable, but after thinking about it, Su Yi did not seem to have any reason to make her happy.

Thus, her eyes moved slightly, and then she asked, “don’t you also need to go on a sect mission? Could it be that you’re also in this Forest of Fireflies?”

As she spoke, she looked around. When Li Mengxi asked this question, Su Yi was also a little curious. Among the immortal sect missions he accepted, there was no time limit.

Moreover, what kind of form was this ancient sword tomb in? Was it a mystic realm that had already been explored? Or was it an undiscovered mystic realm?

He did not know this. Perhaps he would only be able to unravel the veil of this hidden treasure when he reached Qinw.a.n.g Ridge.

Before Su Yi could reply, Li Mengxi continued speaking, “if I were to ask for your help, would you agree?”

There was a hint of hope in her eyes. This was something that even she herself did not know.

She did not know when she started to treat Su Yi as a trustworthy friend. Perhaps, she just wanted to spice up the immortal path?

However, perhaps the two of them did not experience much together, and they seemed to be able to find a common point.

That was, they were both striving for the same goal…

“Of course, if a beauty invites me, how could I refuse?”

Su Yi replied in a somewhat nonchalant manner as if he had agreed to Li Mengxi’s request.

Night gradually descended.
