The illusion continued. As Yi Yun dealt with it, he thought of a way to capture the primordial herb.
According to the records in the book "Divine wilderness", many primordial herbs had the ability to burrow through the earth, water, etc. For example, the Ginseng Fruit recorded in the novels had the so-called: "Melting upon contact with water, entering upon contact with soil …"
This primordial herb would melt into liquid and disappear upon contact with water. Upon contact with soil, it would burrow into it. Then, like a fish swimming in the sea, it could never be found again.
To capture the primordial herb, he had to succeed in one strike!
Otherwise, if the other party escaped into the depths of Herb Mountain, even the Sage of the Human Race would be powerless to stop him.
As for Yi Yun, be it speed or experience in picking primordial herbs, they were all lacking. Rashly picking the herb would only result in failure.
Now, the primordial herb did not know that Yi Yun could see it. If Yi Yun were to rush forward with the Thousand Army Saber, then all the disguises would fail. The primordial herb would also become wary.
Did he have to report this matter to the Divine City and get a sage to take action?
If the report was meritorious, then there would definitely be a reward. But the crux of the matter was that when the sage came with him, would the primordial herb discover it and escape?
If that happened, he might even be charged with the crime of making a false report.
Besides, even if the human sage used some heaven-defying method to capture the primordial herb, how could he explain that he could discover the primordial herb's location?
Many things could easily arouse suspicion.
After some thought, Yi Yun decided to do it himself, staking it all on one throw!
But … not today!
He was now severely lacking in preparation.
Forcefully making a move would only alert the enemy.
Even if the primordial herb were to escape. It would be all over the world, and it would never be found again. But Yi Yun was confident that he could find the primordial herb's location. This was because the Blood Yang Flower did not have the ability to burrow into the ground or water.
Finding the Blood Yang Flower would mean finding the primordial herb.
Yi Yun believed that the primordial herb was lurking around the Blood Yang Flower, watching over his "property".
"The concealment methods of a primordial herb are truly impressive. Previously, I used my mental energy to connect to the Amethyst Origin Crystal to investigate the surroundings. However, I only detected the Blood Sun Flower and neglected this primordial herb. It should not have been far from here. But I couldn't find it. Only when it used its illusion did I see it! "
Yi Yun also felt lucky. It was a coincidence that he could find this primordial herb.
At the same time, Yi Yun also felt that he needed to speed up his cultivation to improve his mental energy. Thinking about it, if he had enough mental energy, he would be able to find the Primordial Herb, the Immortal Herb, or the Great Desolate Herb.
As Yi Yun was thinking, he realized that there were layers of illusions in front of him. More and more corpses surged forward like a tide. He was forced into a corner.
It looked like Yi Yun was in a desolate cemetery. He was surrounded by plains, but Yi Yun knew that behind him was a cliff.
If he took another step back, he would fall off the cliff.
Although a height of a hundred feet was nothing, the person in the illusion would unconsciously fall.
If he were to land head first on a rock, it would be because Yi Yun was wearing the heavy Flowing Mercury Gown. All the weight would be borne by his head and neck. It was not impossible for his head to bleed and his neck to snap!
Thinking of this, Yi Yun's desire to capture the primordial herb intensified.
Although the primordial herb did not have the ability to kill, it could still kill a cultivator by using its illusions.
Yi Yun could no longer retreat. He reduced the Flowing Mercury Gown's weight to its lightest and pretended to lose his footing. With a scream, he fell off the cliff!
While in mid-air, Yi Yun looked flustered, but in fact, he was secretly maintaining his balance.
"Boom!"
Yi Yun fell face-first onto the ground, splashing soil and rocks!
Even with the Flowing Mercury Gown's weight reduced to its lightest, the impact from falling from a height of more than a hundred feet was still shocking.
Yi Yun sprawled out on the ground. His body had smashed a human-shaped hole in the ground. Actually, Yi Yun had used his Heaven Earth Yuan Qi as a cushion the moment he landed, but his body was still in pain from the fall.
His body was not injured, but Yi Yun pretended to have fainted. At the same time, he used the Purple Crystal's vision to secretly observe the primordial herb at the top of the cliff.
Yi Yun could faintly feel the herb's mockery.
"Primordial herb, this rascal …"
Yi Yun made a mental note of this.
The primordial herb quickly lost interest in Yi Yun and left leisurely.
Actually, to the primordial herb, Yi Yun was just an ant. He was not worth its attention.
After this primordial herb gained some intelligence, it had grown in the Tai Ah Divine City herb mountain for thousands of years.
Over these thousands of years, the primordial herb had seen many Tai Ah Divine City cultivators.
These trial takers were classified by the Primordial Herb as insignificant characters like ants.
They were young and ridiculously weak. They were also especially stupid. Although they said they were picking herbs in the herb mountain, they were actually like headless flies bumping around.
Many of the herbs were right under their noses, but they could not see them.
Although it wanted to tease these cultivators, the primordial herb knew that there were human sages in the Tai Ah Divine City.
If these cultivators were frequently teased, or even one or two of them accidentally died, it would alarm the Tai Ah Divine City's sages.
If this happened, its good days would come to an end.
Being targeted by a human sage, it had to be on high alert. It tried its best to stay underground and avoid going out.
One had to know that many human sages had the means to hide their presence. No matter how careful this primordial herb was, or how sensitive its senses were, it was highly likely that it would not notice a human sage approaching it. If that happened, it would be doomed.
Yi Yun lay at the bottom of the cliff for a full hour before he climbed up.
Yi Yun secretly memorized the position of the cliff. In the Purple Crystal's vision, the Blood Yang Flower still had not left. Due to the shock, it had shrunk underground. It seemed that it would not come out to breathe in pure Yang Qi for the next few days.
As long as the Blood Yang Flower was still there, Yi Yun could rest assured.
Yi Yun did not go back to the cliff. Instead, he walked in the opposite direction. After randomly picking some herbs, Yi Yun left the herb mountain early.
When he handed over the herbs, Zhao Qingcheng and company were there.
Seeing Yi Yun, Zhao Qingcheng smiled shyly. Her face was slightly red. It was obvious that she was still embarrassed about asking Yi Yun to lend her money yesterday.
"Hello Sis Qingcheng." Yi Yun greeted.
Today, Yi Yun's harvest was only a hundred dragon scale runes.
After weighing it, the Wang woman from the miscellaneous chores office looked at Yi Yun with surprise. But it was nothing. Experts could fail or have bad luck. It was normal to pick less in a day. Of course, if this carried on, Yi Yun would not be able to break Zhong Yi's record.
"That, Sis Wang, I want to ask if there are any books that introduce the primordial herb?"
After handing over the herbs. Yi Yun asked weakly. The "Divine wilderness" book was mainly for the Tai Ah Divine City rookies to read.
The Divine City rookies could not come into contact with the primordial herb, so the "Divine wilderness" book only had a brief record of it. As such, Yi Yun, who had only read the "Divine wilderness", did not know what the primordial herb was.
This was a huge obstacle to Yi Yun's plan to capture the primordial herb.
Hearing Yi Yun's question, Wang was speechless. This kid. Why is he still dreaming!?
Primordial herb. Even Zhong Yi could not pick it! Even a mighty human would have to plan carefully. Together with a certain amount of luck, it was not something a bunch of kids like you could get your hands on.
If not for Yi Yun proving his keen observation skills a few days ago, Wang would have cursed him. But even so, her tone was extremely bad.
"Kid, do you think you're great just because you have some talent in picking herbs and your eyes are better than others? Primordial herb? Wait another 70 or 80 years before you care about primordial herbs! You really don't know what your surname is! "
"Uh … I'm just taking a look." Yi Yun said.
"What are you looking at? The things written in the "Divine wilderness" is enough for you to read! It's already not bad that you can understand it! "
Wang was still not in a good mood.
Yi Yun rubbed his nose and was speechless. He would never ask Wang again. It was his fault. It sounded like he was biting off more than he could chew. Wasn't asking for trouble by asking her?
"Little brother Yi Yun, you want to find books on primordial herbs?" At this moment, Yi Yun heard Zhao Qingcheng's voice transmission.
"Yes, you know about it?" Yi Yun was overjoyed.
"Yes … The Tai Ah Divine City has a treasure trove. Don't you know? In the treasure trove, there are all sorts of information, cultivation technique manuals, etc. The treasure trove is split into many regions. In the regions with the highest authority requirements, the cultivation techniques inside are very precious! "
"If you only want to read information on primordial herbs, it should be in the middle region. You just need to pay a small amount of dragon scale runes to borrow it."
"Ha, I see. Thank you, Sister Qingcheng."
Yi Yun was overjoyed. A treasure trove was suitable for him. If he were to ask others, it would be inconvenient.
"Little brother Yi Yun, it's not that I'm nosy, but why are you asking about primordial herbs? Don't tell me you have designs on primordial herbs. Primordial herbs are not at a level we can come into contact with. "
Zhao Qingcheng was worried that Yi Yun was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers, and would belittle primordial herbs. Especially if he saw the information, Yi Yun's blood would boil. If he rashly searched for it, it would be a waste of time.
To many people, 12 or 13 years old was the age when they thought they were the center of the world. Especially after they had some achievements, they would lose sight of themselves. They would always think they were different from others, and that they could accomplish something great.
However, the reality was cruel. Those who had this kind of thinking would usually fall to the ground and bleed.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm just interested and want to know more." Yi Yun knew that Zhao Qingcheng had good intentions. Even that sharp-tongued Wang woman could have done it out of good intentions.
