As for his status as the prodigy of Wind Stream Tribe, it was no longer of any use to Su Ming. After some deliberation, Su Ming boldly went to look for Wu Sen.
'Tomorrow morning, when the second stage of the test begins, I'll go and get enough herbs while most of the people in Wind Stream Tribe are focused on the test,' Su Ming thought to himself. He put away all the stone coins. He did not feel that they were heavy. He put them all away in his bosom. Even if his bosom was bulging, the satisfaction he felt in his heart made him not care about it.
Once he was done putting away the stone coins, Su Ming took out the small wooden box. He opened it and looked at the Seven Leaf Herb inside. His eyes shone brightly. To him, this item was as important as the stone coins. He did not expect to get this item from Wu Sen. This was one of the two herbs he had never seen before among the herbs he needed to create South Asunder.
'So it's called Seven Leaf Herb … It's a pity I don't have the other herb, or else I could try creating South Asunder. I wonder how effective it will be compared to Mountain Spirit.' Su Ming looked at it a few more times before putting it away. Anyone could tell that he was hiding a lot of things in his bosom.
However, Su Ming could not do anything about it. He had too many things and could only bring them along with him.
Once he was done, Su Ming sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. He did not circulate the Qi in his body to train. Instead, the Berserker Art for Dark Blood Dust appeared in his head and he tried to practice it.
This was the second Berserker Art he could practice. Compared to Spirit Addiction, this Berserker Art was much more lethal and did not have to be complicated.
Time passed by slowly. The night passed by without a single word.
When the first rays of sunlight fell from the sky, the entire Wind Stream City seemed to have woken up from its slumber. The sound of the people in the city slowly rose and echoed in all directions.
Today was also a grand ceremony. It was the second stage of the test! This stage was not a test of potential. It was a test of strength and speed, which was related to a person's level of cultivation. The location of the test was also not Wind Stream City, but the giant field with the nine statues at the foot of Wind Stream Mountain.
The moment morning arrived, the people from the tribes living in Wind Stream City left one after another and headed towards the field. Dark Mountain Tribe was no exception. Under the lead of the Head of the Guards and Shan Hen, they brought Bei Ling, Lei Chen, and Wu La out of their lodgings, but the elder was not among them.
When the crowd left and Su Ming walked out of his room, he still did not see the elder. Su Ming did not know where the elder had gone, but after thinking about it, he did not bother himself with it. In his mind, the elder should be with the Elder of Wind Stream Tribe.
Once he walked out of his house, Su Ming did not change his appearance. He realized that the Berserker Vessel the elder had given him could not be changed at will. He could only maintain the appearance of Mo Su and the one he had when he snatched the Blood of Corpses from Wu Sen that night.
As for the third form, even if it could be conjured, there would always be some inconsistencies. Clearly, this item had its limits. That was why he decided not to change his appearance. Instead, he walked around the mudstone city with his own appearance. However, he had made some preparations. He bought a few beast skin robes and wrapped them around his body. He also covered his head and face, revealing only his eyes.
His appearance may have been a little strange, but there were quite a number of people in the mudstone city who dressed up like this. It was clear that they did not want their faces to be remembered when they were trading.
As he walked through Wind Stream City, he noticed that there were fewer people in the city. Most of them had gone to the field to watch the second stage of the test.
Since there were fewer people in the city, there were not many people on the streets. Even the stalls that were used for trading were mostly empty. Su Ming walked down the street with a clear goal in mind. He may not have completely familiarized himself with Wind Stream City over the past few days, but he had long since known the locations of the stalls that were used for trading.
There were especially a few shops that specialized in selling herbs. They were the main focus of Su Ming's trip. There was one shop right before him. It did not have a name and was only a small shop. There was only one member of Wind Stream Tribe inside. He was lying on the table and yawning. When he saw Su Ming coming in, he cast a glance at him and quickly stood up.
Without waiting for the person to speak, Su Ming spoke slowly with a hoarse voice.
"I want 100 Cloud Gauze Grass!" As Su Ming spoke, he placed his right hand that was hidden in his sleeve gently on the table. Immediately, a white stone coin appeared.
The eyes of the member of Wind Stream Tribe immediately brightened. He was already used to customers like Su Ming. He knew that these people did not want others to figure out their identities and did not need him to introduce them to them. Their goal was clear.
Without any hesitation, the member of Wind Stream Tribe immediately nodded his head and went to the back of the shop. Not long after, he brought out a leather bag and placed it before Su Ming.
Su Ming opened the bag and looked at it. It was filled with Cloud Gauze Grass. There should be around 100 of them. It was not easy to buy these herbs in the outside world and it was rare for them to have such a large amount of them. However, they were commonly seen in the mudstone city.
With the belt in hand, Su Ming turned around and left the shop. Using the same method, he went to a dozen something shops and bought a lot of Cloud Gauze Grass from each of them. He also bought quite a lot of other supplementary herbs.
He was also cautious and bought some herbs that he did not need. That way, even if someone noticed him, it would be difficult for them to figure out what he was trying to do.
In less than half a day, he only had around 1,000 stone coins left. The speed at which he was spending money made Su Ming's heart ache, but he had no other choice. For the first time, he felt that if he did not have enough money to support him in quenching pills, it would be difficult for him to do so.
'Ah, I have to be thrifty … I'm spending money way too quickly.' Su Ming's face was bitter. All the bags on his body were made of leather. There were too many of them. It gave him a headache, but there was nothing he could do.
'I'm almost done. I'll go back to my lodgings and put these herbs away. Then I'll walk around the mudstone city.' Su Ming made up his mind and quickly went back to Dark Mountain Tribe's lodgings.
He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped. A barely noticeable frown appeared between his brows, but it soon disappeared. His expression remained the same as ever as he continued walking forward.
Before him was an old man with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks. The old man had his head lowered. No one knew what he was thinking about, but there was a pleased look on his face. As he mumbled to himself, his right hand moved in front of his chest as if he was calculating something.
Su Ming walked forward calmly. The moment he walked past the old man, he heard the old man mumbling under his breath.
'I earned. I earned big this time. It's all thanks to Mo Su, or else I'd have lost a lot of money. He's a good person. He's such a good person.'
Su Ming remained calm. Once he brushed past the old man, he continued moving forward.
However, the old man only took a few steps forward before he suddenly turned his head around and looked at Su Ming's back. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the leather bags of various sizes on Su Ming's body.
"My fellow tribe member, please wait," the old man immediately said.
Su Ming frowned and pretended that he did not hear him. Not only did he not stop, he even quickened his pace.
"Ah, my fellow tribe member, please wait!" The old man quickly ran over and blocked Su Ming's path. There was a familiar smile on his face, one that Su Ming had seen before.
A chilling glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He did not speak and was just about to walk around the old man.
The old man quickly took a few steps back. The smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest as he quickly spoke.
"My fellow tribe member, listen to me, just one word! I saw that you bought a lot of things, so you must have gone to a lot of shops. But I have some good things here that even those shops don't have! "
Su Ming ignored him and continued walking forward, but the old man did not care about his attitude. He continued walking by Su Ming's side and continued babbling.
"My fellow tribe member, don't be so cold. I really do have good things here. Look at this herb. It might look normal, but you know Mo Su, right? Let me tell you, Mo Su only became famous in the first stage because he ate this herb of mine!" As the old man spoke, he brought out a handful of herbs from his bosom and waved them around Su Ming.
Su Ming was annoyed by the old man's babbling. The old man seemed to be biting onto him and refused to let go. He kept following him as if he would not buy anything. Su Ming had experienced this a long time ago. Now that he ran into him again, it gave him a headache.
"My fellow tribe member, you don't believe me? Heh heh, it's fine if you don't believe me. But let me tell you, I have more here. Look at these herbs, they're so colorful and beautiful. But let me tell you, Ye Wang used this herb at the last moment.
"And this one. You've heard of Bi Su, right? He was a nobody before this. Do you know why he managed to get to the fourth place? I'm telling you, it's because … "The old man's bosom was like a bottomless pit. He brought out a lot of different herbs time and time again, as if he was afraid that Su Ming would not buy them. He kept introducing them to Su Ming.
"It's because he ate your herbs, right?" Su Ming felt his ears ringing. He cut off the old man's words and spoke coldly.
