"This junior really relied on luck to pick this herb. To be exact, it's like this …" Yi Yun chose his words carefully and went through the excuse he had previously made up in his mind. He was sure that he did not miss out on anything.
"In the past few days, this junior has been diligently gathering herbs on the # 60 herb mountain. Late last night, this junior was at the top of a tall mountain and saw a faint flash of lightning on the horizon several hundred li away. It looked like it was raining there."
"However … lightning during rain is usually bluish-purple in color, but that lightning had a faint blood-red color. Although it was too far away and I couldn't see it clearly, I felt that I did not see wrongly."
"Ever since I was young, I've always had an indescribable feeling and intuition towards some strange things. I've always felt that this lightning was somewhat strange, as if something unusual had happened. So, I immediately rushed over there to investigate."
"I ran at top speed, and by the time I arrived, the lightning had already stopped. I saw that the nearby rocks and vegetation had obvious signs of being struck by lightning."
"I sensed it carefully and discovered that the surroundings were brimming with unusual Yin and Yang Qi. I don't know what's going on, but I recalled the records in the ancient books. Usually, when a treasure of heaven and earth is born, it will cause a phenomenon of heaven and earth. I thought that perhaps this phenomenon I'm encountering is related to a treasure of heaven and earth?"
"Hence, I carefully searched the surroundings. It could be said that I dug three feet into the ground, not letting a single blade of grass escape. Then, I found this Blood Yang Flower …"
"Back then, it was buried deep underground and was already incomplete. The fruit juice was mixed with the soil, but I was still able to recognize it."
"I was very happy to find a Heaven-ranked herb. I took out a jade box that I carried with me and wanted to seal the Blood Yang Flower. To prevent the loss of its medicinal properties. But at this moment. I suddenly felt that the surroundings had changed. It was like I had passed through a space-time tunnel and suddenly arrived in the vast Divine wilderness. There was thunder in the sky once again and large numbers of desolate beasts were charging at me from all directions! "
"I panicked and drew my Thousand Army Saber to fight. I felt that something was amiss. Why did such a good scene suddenly change?"
"My perception has always been different from others since I was young. I quickly calmed down. I carefully sensed my surroundings and suddenly felt that the fierce beasts that were charging at me from all directions did not exist. Everything was just an illusion. "
"I realized that something was attacking me! I could not find it, but I guessed that it was an extraordinary existence. "
"At this moment, I suddenly felt an extreme headache. It was as if something had drilled into my brain, nearly making me lose myself. I suddenly realized that if I could not hold on, I would be finished. I struggled to maintain the last shred of clarity in my mind and used the Tai Cang Bow. I used all my strength to shoot an arrow. "
"I had specially modified this arrow. The arrowhead was embedded with a Divine Hellion Bead I had previously exchanged.
"Divine Hellion Bead"
Hearing this, the woman surnamed Wang suddenly interrupted. Of course she knew the weakness of the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng. This was too much of a coincidence. Yi Yun had prepared an arrow in advance, and it happened to restrain the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng!
"That's right …" Yi Yun scratched his head in embarrassment. "I heard that the Divine wilderness campground has a high mortality rate. This junior is afraid of death, so I used my first batch of dragon scale runes to prepare something for self-defense. I never expected it to come in handy so quickly. My luck is really good."
Seeing Yi Yun's boy-next-door look and mentioning the word luck, Wang's eyelids twitched. The reason he exchanged for the Divine Hellion Bead was because he was afraid of death …
A mid-stage Purple Blood kid actually exchanged for a Divine Hellion Bead for self-defense!
It was … speechless!
But the most ridiculous thing was that the Divine Hellion Bead really came in handy. His luck was too heaven-defying!
Yi Yun was not afraid of revealing the Divine Hellion Bead. As for the lunar Yin array or the cicada array, he naturally would not say it.
Zhao Qingcheng also did not know what he had bought at the Ten Thousand Pagoda.
As for whether anyone would investigate, the Ten Thousand Pagoda was not the computer of his previous life. It did not have a storage system. Who knew who had bought a million items?
"You shot the herb just like that?" The woman surnamed Wang asked.
"Probably. That sliver of clarity in my mind was like a small boat in a huge wave. It could disappear at any time. I used everything I had to shoot the arrow. As for the direction I shot it, it was completely based on my feelings. I did not know what I shot, but I felt that if I didn't shoot it, I would have died."
"Following that, there was a huge explosion. I was sent flying by the shockwave and nearly fainted."
"I forced myself not to lose consciousness and began searching my surroundings. I guessed that something amazing had attacked me, so I wanted to see what it was."
"At that time, my surroundings had already turned into scorched earth. The Blood Yang Flower had been buried into the ground once again, and it had rotted even more. I used my perception to search carefully. I carefully flipped over every piece of rock, and then … three feet underground, I found something that looked like a carrot root. It looked inconspicuous, but I knew it was that amazing thing! "
Yi Yun's story was a mix of truth and falsehood, but the things in it were all well-founded.
Wang listened carefully. When Yi Yun finished, she looked at Yi Yun with an odd expression.
According to what Yi Yun said, Yi Yun's luck was really heaven-defying!
Yi Yun had previously said that he had seen lightning with a faint blood glow falling from the sky a few hundred miles away. That was probably a Heavenly Tribulation.
Most primordial herbs could slowly complete their evolution, but some primordial herbs would have a small chance of triggering a Heavenly Tribulation in a small area due to various strange opportunities.
It was unknown when a Heavenly Tribulation would befall, so it would often catch the primordial herb off guard.
Once it survived the Heavenly Tribulation, it would make its evolution more thorough. However, if it failed to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be destroyed.
The faint blood-colored lightning that Yi Yun mentioned was the characteristic of the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng when it underwent a Heavenly Tribulation.
Undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation was when a primordial herb was at its weakest!
At this time, the primordial herb's ability to hide, attack or escape would be greatly reduced.
Logically, after undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation, a primordial herb would hide and slowly recuperate.
This Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng should have done the same, but Yi Yun had appeared at this moment and found the Blood Yang Flower it was rearing.
Hearing Yi Yun's description, Wang believed that the Heavenly Tribulation had come too suddenly. The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng must have panicked to deal with it, resulting in its Yuan Qi being greatly damaged.
At this time, the Blood Yang Flower that could help it recover its Yuan Qi was extremely important to the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng.
How could it tolerate Yi Yun taking away the Blood Yang Flower? Hence, it had attacked Yi Yun despite its serious injuries.
This was not a problem. Yi Yun was young and his cultivation level was low. Even if the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng was heavily injured, it should not have had any problems dealing with Yi Yun.
But Yi Yun's spiritual energy was extraordinary. At his young age, with a cultivation level in the middle stages of Purple Blood, he was able to escape from the illusion. This made it difficult for the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng to back down. It had no choice but to increase its spiritual attack, which resulted in it overdrawing on its pure Yang Qi.
And what Wang found most incomprehensible and unbelievable was that Yi Yun, who was in the illusion's attack, could use his intuition to guide him to shoot the Divine Hellion Bead arrow he had prepared in advance, killing the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng!
This was too ridiculous!
But … on careful thought, a Divine Hellion Bead refined by a master was shot by Yi Yun with all his strength using the Tai Cang Bow. It was not impossible for the heavily injured and overdrawn Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng to fail miserably!
Wang was stunned for a while. Yi Yun's story sounded extremely bizarre, but on careful thought, there was nothing wrong with the story.
And other than that, there was no other explanation for how Yi Yun could capture the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng.
Was this possible?
A kid who was not even thirteen years old had captured a primordial herb!
This was preposterous beyond compare. How could those bearded alchemists accept it?
The only thing that was unfathomable was Yi Yun's intuition.
But this was not strange. There were some people in this world who were born with keen intuition. In extreme situations, they would have an incredible sixth sense that would guide them to seek fortune and avoid calamity.
This intuition could save lives in many cases.
Wang looked at Yi Yun in a daze and moved her dry lips, "Do you know … what you dug up?"
Yi Yun thought about it and said, "It should be a primordial herb. Actually, this junior had some guesses. Previously, this junior had read some Divine wilderness manuals. There was a herb's description that was very similar to the herb I picked. This junior knew it was of great importance, so he came back early …"
Hearing Yi Yun's words, Wang gaped. She really did not know what to say. She had previously heard from Yi Yun that he had "returned early because he had some extra gains and was worried that the medicinal properties would be lost".
She had thought that Yi Yun was making things up. She never expected that what Yi Yun said was true, and that he had brought back a Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng!
Was this the so-called "extra gains"?
This was called "extra"!?
What a joke!
"You … You wait here. I … I'll report to the Elder!"
Wang said these words with great difficulty. It was as if she could not speak. To the woman surnamed Wang, the fact that a trial-taker had obtained a primordial herb was definitely a major event!
Ever since the establishment of the Tai Ah Divine City, it had been many years, but this was probably the first time such a situation had happened!
She did not know how to handle it. In the manual of the Miscellaneous Chores Department, there was no indication of the primordial herb's reward, because there was no need!
Upon thinking of this, Wang suddenly remembered that when Yi Yun first came to the Miscellaneous Chores Department, he had asked what the reward for guessing the primordial herb would be.
Back then, she had thought that this youth was mentally abnormal and was an idiot.
Now, she suddenly felt that the idiot was herself.
