Fang Mu's face was filled with dejection. He did not know why the mysterious senior Mo had stopped paying attention to him more than a year ago. No matter how many times he came and called out to him, he would always return in a dejected manner.
He did not know what he did wrong. He kept thinking back to the last time they met. No matter how he analyzed it, he felt that it was because of the bone blade.
Half a year ago, he could not help but tell his father about it. At that time, his father was silent and did not speak. However, a few days later, his father told him that Su Ming had already left the rainforest. He left in a hurry, as if he had run into an accident.
When Fang Mu heard this, he fell silent for a long time. He had also thought of giving up, but during the last time they met, Su Ming had mentioned that he had a 70% chance of healing him. Fang Mu was not willing to give up just like that.
Even if his father had told him that Su Ming had already left, Fang Mu still came to the rainforest once a month and called out to him for a few days, hoping that one day he would respond.
During the past year, he had practically never stopped. He felt that this was his only chance.
Fang Mu knew that his father had seen all of his actions. This could be seen from the fact that his father still had the powerful Berserkers in the tribe protect him every time he came to the rainforest. He would stay outside the rainforest based on his usual habits.
As he recalled all of this, Fang Mu let out a long sigh and walked alone in the rainforest. Occasionally, he would call out to him out of habit.
"Senior … Senior …" Fang Mu arrived at the place where he met Su Ming for the last time. He looked at his surroundings with a dejected expression.
"Have you prepared the herbs I asked you to prepare?" A calm voice came languidly from behind Fang Mu. That voice might have come out of nowhere, but it was as if it should have existed in the rainforest. It gave off a feeling that it had fused with the place.
Fang Mu was momentarily stunned. He turned around swiftly and saw a familiar figure standing at the same place he had met all those years ago.
"Se … Senior!" Fang Mu shuddered. Ecstasy appeared in his eyes. His breathing quickened, and he was in slight disbelief.
"I've already prepared the beast bones equivalent to those in the Transcendence Realm, but …" Fang Mu looked at Su Ming, afraid that he would disappear again. Now that he had finally appeared, he immediately explained anxiously.
"But those three herbs are all rare items. My father searched for a long time for me, but he only found two of them. The last herb is called Sky Flute Branch. It has been extinct in the Land of South Morning for a long time. Unless there are some special places, it's very difficult to find it in the outside world." As Fang Mu spoke, he immediately brought out a black bell from his bosom and crushed it right before Su Ming's face.
When the black mist dissipated, two purple beast bones appeared in front of Fang Mu along with two medicinal herbs that were emitting a dazzling radiance.
Most of Su Ming's body was hidden in the darkness. He looked at Fang Mu, the beast bones, and the herbs before him, and fell silent.
"Senior, please give me some more time, I …" Fang Mu's heart was thumping, and he was extremely nervous.
"I want you to find these herbs to create a medicinal liquid. This medicinal liquid is very useful to me. It can also help you get rid of the injuries caused by the Berserker Art in your body," Su Ming said slowly.
"If one is missing, it will be very difficult to refine this medicinal liquid."
Fang Mu gritted his teeth and wrapped his fist in his palm before bowing towards Su Ming. He lifted his head with a grave expression.
"Senior, my father once said that it's not impossible to get Sky Flute Branch. There's a hidden place belonging to the three tribes in the canyons under Han Mountain City. A few decades ago, the people from the three tribes, including Tranquil East Tribe, went there once and obtained Sky Flute Branch." But that herb was obtained by Lake of Colors Tribe. I heard that it has already been used as medicine.
"But according to my father's analysis, there should still be Sky Flute Branch there. The Day of Eternal Creation half a year later is also the time when the Great Fog of Han Mountain will appear once every ten years. Every ten years, the people of the three tribes will activate the tunnel under Han Mountain. At that time, the three tribes will send their tribesmen and guests over …
"My father will arrange for my tribe members to search for Sky Flute Branch at that time … Please wait for another half a year!"
"Oh?" Su Ming's expression remained the same as he asked He Feng in his head.
"Master, this child is right. The place where Han Mountain Tribe's ancestor passed away has a very strong seal. Forget about them, even I can't enter at any other time." Only during the Day of Eternal Creation that happens once every ten years will the entire Land of South Morning be covered in fog. At that time, the seal on the place where our ancestor passed away will be weakened in an unseen manner, allowing people to enter.
"The three tribes should have entered many times over the hundreds of years. Their goal is nothing more than to obtain our ancestor's relics. After all, besides the four great treasures our ancestor left behind, the other treasures were all in the place where he passed away.
"I've only heard about what happened in the past, I don't know the details. I only know that after Han Mountain Tribe's ancestor died, the three tribes rebelled. The place where our ancestor passed away is not that simple, or else the three tribes would have taken away all the treasures a long time ago. They wouldn't have entered so many times. It's clear that they haven't gained much.
"Master, this might be a chance. If you can enter the place where our ancestor passed away, then with my help, you should be able to gain something. "The reason why the three tribes have been taking in guests for a long period of time is also to prepare to enter that place.
"After all, the three tribes were once affiliated to Han Mountain Tribe. It's said that they were forced to come here by our ancestor and left a Brand on them. To our ancestor, the members of the three tribes will always be his servants. That's why once they enter the place where our ancestor passed away, they will definitely feel uncomfortable." If that's the case, then why were these three tribes able to destroy Han Mountain Tribe in the past? "
Su Ming asked in his mind. "If that's the case, then why were these three tribes able to destroy Han Mountain Tribe in the past?"
He Feng remained silent for a moment before he said in a low voice, "Master, it's not just me and my tribe members who have been wondering about this for a long time. But that was something that happened hundreds of years ago. Very few people know the specifics of what happened in the past … But I'm guessing that there must have been outsiders involved in this!"
A contemplative look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He was originally not too interested in the place where Han Mountain Tribe's ancestor passed away, but the strangeness of the red meadow and the difference between him and other people on the meadow surprised him, and at the same time, he formed a guess about Han Mountain Tribe's ancestor.
"I'll wait for you for another half a year. Half a year later, if you can bring out Sky Flute Sound Branch, then I'll fulfill my promise!" Su Ming looked at Fang Mu and spoke calmly.
"Before you go to the hidden grounds of the three tribes, you can come here. I have some things I need to tell you." Su Ming took a step forward, and Fang Mu's vision blurred. He could not see Su Ming clearly. He only felt a chill in his mouth, as if something had melted in his mouth and spread through his entire body.
When he registered what had happened, the area around him was silent. Su Ming had already left. The beast bones and herbs on the ground had disappeared.
Su Ming turned into a long arc, but he was not flying in the sky, but was charging through the rainforest.
"Master, why didn't you take the chance to ask to follow me in?" He Feng could not help but ask.
"Do you really want me to go?" Su Ming walked forward at an incredibly fast speed, and he casually sent his thoughts to He Feng.
"Master, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant." He Feng's heart trembled and he quickly stopped asking questions.
On the way, He Feng no longer brought up the matter. Instead, he pointed out the direction and told Su Ming the location of the treasure he hid. Half a month later, Su Ming stood at the top of a mountain in the endless mountain range that was not too far away from Han Mountain City and lowered his head to look down.
The area around him was desolate. There was not a single person in sight. This place was also secluded, and very few people came here. The mountain breeze was strong and blew on Su Ming's body with moans, causing his long hair to flutter in the wind and his robes to flap.
Before him were valleys formed by mountain valleys. There were many valleys and they were all covered by plants. They might not be rainforests, but they were still deep in the mountains.
"Master, my cave abode is in the seventh valley ahead of us." He Feng's voice echoed in Su Ming's head. Su Ming's eyes sparkled. After a moment of silence, he lifted his feet and charged towards the seventh valley.
The seventh valley had a concave shape from the distance. There were a lot of plants in it, and there were also a lot of birds and beasts living there. Su Ming walked into the valley cautiously and observed his surroundings. The valley was rather quiet. There were a lot of cracks on the mountain walls by his side, and there were plants growing all over them.
Su Ming swept his gaze across the valley, and a white stone coin appeared in his hand. Once he held it in his hand, he formed a seal with his right hand. Immediately, everything within a circular area of 1,000 feet appeared in his head. The wind blew, the grass moved, and the clues were all recorded in his mind.
Very soon, his gaze focused on the middle section of the mountain wall to his right. There was a crack that was not too big, and a glint appeared in his eyes.
Su Ming could clearly see two eagles within the crack. That was clearly the bird's resting place.
"You hid yourself pretty well. Is this the cave abode you were talking about?" Su Ming asked flatly.
"It's easy for people to notice the resting places of birds and beasts, but it's also easy to overlook them, especially in these secluded mountains. There are a lot of eagles like this." He Feng's voice appeared in Su Ming's head, and he sounded very cautious.
Su Ming focused all his Branding Art on the crack. Once he examined it carefully and found no abnormalities, he charged towards the crack and entered in an instant. The two eagles were shocked. They flew up and were about to cry out when Su Ming's Branding Art pierced their heads. Once they flew out forcefully, they fell into the valley and fainted.
Su Ming walked to the right side of the cave and lowered his body. He looked at the ground and slammed his right hand against the ground. With that one slap, the ground trembled and shattered, revealing a jade box the size of a palm hidden within.
There was nothing special about the jade box. There were some patterns carved on it. Su Ming did not pick it up immediately, but looked at it carefully instead. His expression gradually became more serious.
The material of the box was also made from stone coins.
'The treasure left behind by the ancestor of Han Mountain Tribe … Just what is it..?' Su Ming sat down cross-legged and looked at the box. He had once asked He Feng about the treasure inside.
However, He Feng's answer was rather vague. He had opened the box once, but only saw a green light. After the light disappeared, the box automatically closed itself. No matter how hard he tried, he could not open it.
Besides, he was afraid that he would die because of this treasure before he had the power to wield it. That was why after much consideration, he decided to hide the treasure here. He planned to take it out and try to open it once he Transcended. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
