He had Xiaolong's help and had already locked onto the location, but he still had to work hard for several hours before he could find anything. As for the others, even if they were geniuses like Li Chenglong who had already analyzed and deduced the approximate location, they would still need to dig through more than half of the forest to have a chance of finding the target.
If they were unlucky, even if they only left one square meter of the forest, the herb might be hidden in that square meter!
Not to mention, who would dig a hundred and eighty meters into the ground for something that they had no confidence in?!
As for the Huanyang Grass, it could only be considered as a cheap item among the underground herbs.
Zuo Xiaoduo took out the Heavenly Witchcraft Copper Shovel. It was as big as its name suggested. It was two square meters in size, and only the front part was sharp.
Since the goal was set, it was time to put it into action. Zuo Xiaoduo stabbed the shovel into the ground, and with a shake of his spiritual power, he dug out more than seven or eight cubic meters of soil and stones.
A big hole appeared in the ground as the shovel passed through.
Zuo Xiaoduo dug a big hole in the ground, no less than five or six square meters. Then, like a hardworking Whack-A-Mole, he dug deeper …
After a full hour, Master Zuo had dug a hole a hundred meters deep!
After becoming a warrior and an expert, digging holes was also awesome!
And at this position, he could directly hit the soil on the wall of the cave.
Zuo Xiaoduo had an idea, and filled the hole with soil outside. In an instant, the hole was completely filled.
Only then did he feel relieved.
Well, at least he didn't have to worry about being blocked.
As for me, I can go out from wherever I want when I find the herb.
Zuo Xiaoduo continued to work hard, and dug deeper.
Xiao Long circled behind him, and occasionally dived down to check how far it was …
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and sparks flew everywhere!
In the completely enclosed space of the tunnel, there was a flash of light.
"What is this? Such a hard rock … "Zuo Xiaoduo originally thought that he had found something good. After all, it was buried so deep underground. He carefully expanded the area and dug it out, only to find that his target was a huge Jade of Astral Souls that was three to four square meters in size and more than one meter thick. But …
"It's actually a low-grade one! F * ck! "
Zuo Xiaoduo cursed.
After spending so much effort to dig out a piece of low-tier Jade of Astral Souls, it turned out to be a piece of trash that would turn into powder with a single breath … How infuriating!
The return on consumption was not balanced at all, damn it!
However, Zuo Xiaoduo still kept it. No matter how small a grasshopper was, it was still meat and could be sold for money!
Even though the quality of this thing was trash, it was still big enough. If it was thrown out for cultivation, it could be used to carve a huge ornament with the Cat Spirit Sword. It would be a good idea. There was a certain market potential for it.
Zuo Xiaoduo persevered and continued to dig.
After another two hours, Zuo Whac-A-Mole finally dug to a depth of more than 170 meters and began to expand the search area.
He slapped the ground again and again, squeezing the soil. The underground space expanded rapidly and gradually turned into an underground secret room that was dozens of square meters in size.
This was another advantage of determining the target's location. Normal searchers wouldn't dare to do this. If Zuo Xiaoduo did this, once he couldn't find the target, it would become a waste of time and effort. Only by determining the target's location would he be able to do it with purpose and meaning.
Once the secret room was completed, Zuo Xiaoduo began to dig from the edge with the shovel. He then burned the soil that he dug out with the Flaming Sun Sutra.
Finally …
"We're here!"
Xiao Long shouted excitedly.
Hearing this, Zuo Xiaoduo did not dare to use the shovel directly. Instead, he used his hands to carefully dig out the soil —
In the loose soil, there were long grayish-white leaves that looked like leeks. Even though the leaves were grayish-white and did not look very eye-catching at first glance, if one looked carefully, one could see that the leaves contained a kind of faint crystal and warmth.
It was as if there was a light flowing slowly inside the leaves.
Zuo Xiaoduo continued to dig out the soil with his hands. There were a total of fifteen leaves. These leaves were all connected to a Small, grayish-white ball-shaped plant.
"Not bad! It's really the Huanyang Grass! "
Zuo Xiaoduo's eyes lit up.
The target of the mission was not a whole stalk of Huanyang Grass, but a single leaf. In other words, when one turned in the mission at the Hidden Dragon High School, one leaf could be counted as one stalk of Huanyang Grass. The fifteen leaves here … were fifteen stalks of Huanyang Grass!
As for the ball-shaped root, there was an additional price. This order alone was already … rich!
"Where's the other one?" Zuo Xiaoduo asked.
"Well, it's not far from here. At most, it's three or four meters away. I don't recommend using a shovel. It's easy to hurt the plant," Xiao Long said.
"Okay!"
Zuo Xiaoduo listened to the advice and continued to dig quickly. This time, he was even faster. In just a few minutes, another stalk of Huanyang Grass with fifteen leaves was in his hands!
"Since I've already dug it out, it's just a matter of time!"
Zuo Xiaoduo was in high spirits. "Where's the Knotweed Squash you mentioned before? I dug it out while I was at it. "
Xiao Long pointed in the direction. "Dig along this line. You'll find it in about forty meters."
"Easy!"
Only five minutes later, two huge Knotweed Squashes were in his hands. One of them weighed about fifty to sixty pounds. Two of them, connected by a vine, looked like two big gourds. It was not a big harvest, but not a small one.
This kind of medicinal herb was not very useful for warriors, but for ordinary people, it was still a rare treasure. It was worth a lot. Taking it out so easily was a small profit. It was better than nothing.
At this point, this action could be considered to have come to an end for the time being.
Zuo Xiaoduo directly sat down in the underground secret room to rest. This operation did not consume much of his True Core Strength, but it consumed a lot of his physical strength. He had to rest for a while. Resting here was more convenient and more private than going out to find another place to rest.
"Are there any more nearby? Anyway, the hole is already dug. Since we've already dug nine holes, we might as well add one more and sweep all of them. "Zuo Xiaoduo was in high spirits.
"No more! There's really no more! "
Xiao Long shook his head like a rattle-drum. "The Qi of the earth in this area is only enough to nourish these four things … Just like how human strength is limited, the Qi of the earth also has its limits."
Zuo Xiaoduo immediately looked disappointed.
"Then that's it."
He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was eleven o 'clock in the afternoon.
He asked Xiao Long to go up and scout for information. Was there anyone?
Xiao Long had the body of luck. Ordinary people could not see him at all.
After a while, Xiao Long came down. "There's no movement."
Zuo Xiaoduo still did not dare to be careless. He dug a tunnel from the other side. When he returned to the surface and saw the sun, he finally took a big breath.
Comfortable!
Comfortable!
Then he loosely backfilled the excavated soil. He barely made it so that the ground could not be seen. Then he stopped.
After doing all this, Zuo Xiaoduo did not stop. He went all the way north in a straight line for more than a thousand miles.
During this distance, he dug another three big holes. Each hole was accurate. He dug out three stalks of Huanyang Grass one after another.
In Zuo Xiaoduo's spatial ring, there were now five complete stalks of Huanyang Grass.
There were three stalks with fifteen leaves, one stalk with twelve leaves, and one stalk with thirteen leaves.
Huanyang Grass.
It was the most scarce herb in the Hidden Dragon High School.
It was the main material used to make Holy Spirit Water, Vitality Water, Huanyang Liquid, various healing pills, and the nutrient solution that filled the nutrition chamber.
The Huanyang Grass absorbed the vitality of the earth. It was very effective for healing.
Huanyang Grass that was less than a hundred years old would only have one leaf. There were also differences in effectiveness. The shape of the leaf was similar to caterpillar fungus. After a hundred years, it would grow one more leaf for every hundred years it grew.
Huanyang Grass could be consumed by ordinary people. However, a fifty-year-old Huanyang Grass was the limit of what ordinary people could bear.
Generally, people who were not in good physical condition or were slightly weak would not be able to bear it. If they ate it, they would not be able to bear the nourishment and would bleed to death.
However, for martial artists, a fifty-year-old Huanyang Grass was just the beginning.
Most of the Huanyang Grass used by the Hidden Dragon Martial Artists were around a hundred to two hundred years old.
However, its effectiveness was already quite good.
The five stalks that Zuo Xiaoduo had obtained were all rare items. If he brought them back to the school, the credits he could exchange for would be enough for him to use until he graduated.
Of course, if he sold these Huanyang Grass, he would earn more.
However, this depended on Zuo Xiaoduo's choice.
However, Zuo Xiaoduo obviously did not think about selling them. Based on Ye Changqing and Wen Xingtian's actions this morning, Zuo Xiaoduo would not sell them.
Although he was stingy and greedy, he still had a bottom line that he guarded very clearly.
However, Zuo Xiaoduo was still amazed by the rarity of the Huanyang Grass!
Not to mention other people, the only person in the world who could obtain it so easily was Zuo Xiaoduo!
With the help of a Fate Dragon, he could search for it anywhere. If it was someone else … it would be impossible!
In this aspect, even the strongest cultivator would not be able to do it.
Even for Li Chenglong, out of the five stalks of Yang Returning Grass, he would at most be able to obtain the first two stalks. And that was only if he was extremely lucky. Plus, he had to dig up the ground of the Ironwood Forest for tens of feet!
If not for this, it would be impossible!
When night fell, Zuo Xiaoduo was already 1,900 miles away. His trajectory had already deviated from the north. He leaned against a tree in a valley in the northwest direction and rested for a while.
At this time, Zuo Xiaoduo did not dare to dig a hole to rest.
If they were to be surrounded, it would be inconvenient for them at that time.
Therefore, he had to leave some space for himself to escape or to fight.
Night fell slowly.
The wind whistled.
