As for whether it was a herb or not, as long as he dug it up and placed it in the basket on his back, he would know. The basket would give him points based on the herb's medicinal properties and Spiritual Energy. After Lin Yi did this, the bright red point bar on the basket increased from zero to seven.
Ordinary herbs were worth one point, but this seemingly unremarkable flower was worth seven points. It was a pretty good start.
Lin Yi was happy. Although his goal was to find the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass, it was not a bad thing to be able to collect as many other herbs as possible. Even if he did not put them in the space in the jade pendant, he could still exchange them for trial points.
However, the rest of the process was a little boring. Lin Yi had collected quite a lot of herbs as he'd expected, and in less than an hour, his points on the basket had shot up to fifty-seven. However, Lin Yi still hadn't found the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass that he wanted the most.
In order to ensure that he could find the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass in the trial, he had done a lot of homework. He even went to the back cliff to ask Lu Bianren, the "Scholar", for advice. Not only did he know the characteristics of the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass like the back of his hand, but he also memorized the suitable growing environment for it to ensure that he would not miss it if he came across it.
But now, he had already walked around for a few miles, but he did not even find the shadow of the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass. Not only that, but judging from the dark and damp environment, it did not seem like a place where the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass could grow.
"According to Senior Lu, the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass likes the sun and easily grows in dry places with plenty of light. This kind of place is not easy to find in the deep mountains and forests." Lin Yi shook his head helplessly.
This kind of deep mountains and forests had plenty of rain. In the secular world, it would be like a tropical rainforest with no end in sight. The ground was either dark and damp, and not even the slightest bit of sunlight could pass through. Wanting to find the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass in this kind of place was easier said than done.
Even with Lu Bianren's hint. With Lin Yi's current situation, it was not easy for him to find a place that met the requirements, because he did not know where he was at the moment, and there were no landmarks within dozens of miles, so it was useless even if he referred to the map of the back mountain periphery issued by the back mountain hall.
Anyone who had experience living in the jungle would know that the most terrifying thing in this vast jungle was not the ferocious beasts and poisonous creatures that lurked everywhere, but losing one's way. In this kind of dense forest where even sunlight was difficult to see, once one lost their way, it was very likely that they would end up being devoured by the dense forest.
In fact, there were no landmarks nearby. Even an expert in the early stage of Foundation Establishment like Lin Yi found it difficult to accurately grasp his own position. However, he was slightly better than ordinary people. As long as he spent a little effort, he could at least climb to the top of the tree and use the sun to determine his position.
Apart from that, his other advantage was that his survivability was far stronger than that of ordinary people.
However, that was all. Lin Yi's current mission was not to survive, but to find the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass within three days. This was very difficult! At least until now, he did not know where the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass would grow, nor did he know how far it was from him!
It was a pity that Skybolt Pig was in a coma. It would be easy if he was awake! Lin Yi could not help but sigh.
With Skybolt Pig's ability. Even if he could not directly help him find the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass, it should not be a problem for him to help him find a dry place with sufficient sunlight. After all, treasure hunting was this pig's talent, and treasure hunting was the most basic requirement. It was to sense the environment.
To find the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass within three days, if Lin Yi relied on himself, he only had a 20% chance of success. But with Skybolt Pig's help, he had at least an 80% chance of success!
It was a pity that Skybolt Pig had been in a coma ever since he was transported to Heaven Stage Island. Now that it had been more than 20 days, Lin Yi did not know how to wake him up. If it was not for the fact that his vital signs were still stable, Lin Yi would have thought that this fellow had already become a vegetable pig.
Now that Skybolt Pig could not be counted on, he could only count on himself!
Lin Yi took a deep breath, found a huge tree beside him, and climbed up.
Only by standing high could one see far. Climbing to the highest tree nearby, and doing his best to find a suitable place to grow the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass, was the last hope he could place. It was a little stupid, but it was much better than blindly searching like a headless fly.
Lin Yi was extra careful as he climbed the tree, keeping an eye on his surroundings. After the lesson he'd learned last time, he knew that the trees weren't as dangerous as the ground. There weren't as many snakes and beasts as there were on the ground, but it was more dangerous.
This was because in this kind of dense forest, the stronger the creature, the more likely it was to occupy the large space above, just like the giant python and the black ape. Although the snakes and beasts on the ground were troublesome, they did not pose much of a threat to Lin Yi. However, it was different at the top of the dense treetops. It was possible that there was a powerful spirit beast at the Foundation Establishment stage entrenched there.
Strictly speaking, the giant tree that Lin Yi was currently looking for had already left the territory of the giant python, so there was no need to worry about it. However, while he was climbing up, there was no telling if there was a similarly powerful spirit beast that had already set its eyes on him.
Although he always felt that there was a powerful creature staring at him from an undetectable dark place, Lin Yi finally climbed to the top of the treetops without any mishaps. He looked around and had a good view.
However, after a while of observation, even someone as determined as Lin Yi could not help but feel discouraged.
No matter which direction he looked in, the scenery was almost exactly the same. It was a continuous treetops. The only difference was that when he looked to the north, apart from the treetops, he could see a bulging mountain in the distance. It was so high that its peak could not be seen, and it pierced straight into the clouds. This was the so-called main body of the back mountain.
The back mountain hall was to the south of the back mountain, so Lin Yi could roughly confirm his position. However, he still had no idea where he should go next.
