[Hint: collection successful, you have obtained fluorescent herb x5]
As the sound of a hint fell, Su Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He did not expect that in just a short afternoon, he had actually collected nearly 700 columns of medicinal herbs, as well as more than 100 other medicinal herbs.
He had even obtained nearly 400 seeds. However, in Su Yi's eyes, these low-grade medicinal herbs naturally did not need to be planted in the immortal herb spirit field to waste resources.
As for why he had to gather so many unnecessary medicinal herbs, one of them was to help Li Mengxi search for a hundred-year-old fluorescent grass, and the other was his immortal sect mission.
His immortal sect mission required him to gather 1, 086 medicinal herbs, and there was no restriction on the type and grade of the herbs. It could be said to be a relatively casual mission.
The mission that originally required three days to complete, he had actually collected more than half of the medicinal herbs in this Forest of Fireflies in just half a day.
One could imagine that the medicinal herbs in this Forest of Fireflies were indeed extremely abundant, but most of them were medicinal herbs used for qi condensation realm medicinal pills.
"How is it? Are there any results?"ƒ𝑟e𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋no𝙫𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
Suddenly, a fragrant wind blew over. Under the half-dark sky, Li Mengxi's beautiful figure came to Su Yi's side, bringing along waves of fragrant wind.
At this moment, there were also some fine beads of sweat on Li Mengxi's forehead. Between his brows, it seemed as though water hibiscus had appeared.
Under the illumination of this dark night, that green-colored black-robed figure was just like a fairy in the dark night. It actually caused him to be a little stunned for a moment.
However, he quickly reacted. All he could see was that he shook his head and said, "no, they are all ordinary."
Indeed, the fluorescent herb that he had gathered during the half day in this Forest of Fireflies was all ordinary. He had not seen any that were old, much less one that was a hundred years old.
Li Mengxi sighed when she heard this.
As expected, was it still wishful thinking to search for a hundred-year-old fluorescent herb?
Immediately, she had the thought of giving up on this immortal sect mission. However, a trace of determination quickly flashed across her eyes. She had given up just like that. What immortal path would there be after that?
She looked at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "fellow Daoist Su, the sky has darkened. This fluorescent herb won't glow at night, making it even more difficult to find. Why don't we find a place first, and tomorrow..."
She was a bit embarrassed to continue. After all, she was the one who had invited Su Yi to help her, but Su Yi clearly still had things to do.
For a moment, she did not know if she should continue inviting him.
As if he had seen through Li Mengxi's difficulties, he revealed a slight smile and said indifferently, "it doesn't matter. Since I've already promised you, I'll do my best. I won't give up halfway. It's obvious that very few people collect the fluorescent herb here, so it's only natural that there's a hundred-year-old fluorescent grass."
As he said this, he could not help but sigh in his heart. This fluorescent herb was very strange. When the sun shone in the day, it would emit a faint fluorescent light.
However, when it was nighttime, there was not a single bit of light. This was simply ridiculous. Therefore, why did he have the name of the fluorescent herb? It was better to call it the bright grass.
Although he was complaining in his heart, he did not hide his footsteps at all. His figure shuttled through this Forest of Fireflies in search of an empty space that was suitable for building a camp.
Li Mengxi followed closely behind. She stared intently at Su Yi's figure. Her eyes were a little dejected. Soon after, her jade-like lips moved slightly as she muttered softly in a mosquito-like voice, "perhaps, this is the place where she has taken a liking to you..."
Very quickly, the two of them found a place in the forest that was not covered by trees and bushes.
The place had a circumference of more than ten meters. It was a grassy field surrounded by a circle of trees. In the center of the field, there was a pile of black charcoal that had faded for a long time.
Presumably, a long time ago, there was also a cultivator's encampment here. The completely dark sky was covered with stars. The twinkling light of the stars made it so that the land was not so dark that one could not see one's fingers.
Shuffle shuffle-
Two figures appeared in this empty land like ghosts.
It was Su Yi and Li Mengxi. They walked through the forest for a while and found a suitable place to settle down.
Su Yi, who had just stabilized his body, looked around before turning his head to look at Li Mengxi, who was following closely behind, and asked, "this is the place, right?"
When the latter heard this, he also nodded lightly and did not say anything else. A man and a woman alone in the wilderness. The only thing they could do, of course, was chat.
Very quickly, after Su Yi randomly found the pole and dry wood, a small fire slowly rose up. Although it was not very bright, it still had a little bit of warmth.
"It's really strange. I wonder why this place is called the Forest of Fireflies. Could it be because of that fluorescent herb?"
While the two of them were silent, Su Yi suddenly asked with a strange thought. The atmosphere was really too strange.
If they did not find some topics to talk about, the two of them would probably have to spend the night in silence.
"Maybe it's because of these little guys."
Li Mengxi's faint voice sounded, making him puzzled for a while.
Little guys? What little guys?
He looked towards where she was. He did not know when, but there were many fireflies surrounding this small bonfire.
A faint yellow fluorescent light flashed, like sparks flying out of a small bonfire.
"Fireflies..."
Looking at these fireflies, Su Yi muttered their names. These fireflies were very ordinary and did not appear because of the change in spirit energy.
As usual, a faint light flashed, and they wandered in this space. At the same time, a breeze blew over. These fireflies seemed to be attracted by something, and actually converged into a stream of fireflies.
They left the place where Su Yi and Li Mengxi were and began to fly in a direction. The stream of fireflies slowly flowed, and the forest seemed to have been alarmed by something, and the fireflies began to glow in all directions, they all gathered into a long dragon and flew in one direction.
This intention had naturally alarmed Su Yi and Li Mengxi. As cultivators, they could naturally sense it.
There was actually a faint spiritual qi fluctuation near them. Moreover, the direction of the spiritual qi fluctuation was actually the direction where the fireflies were heading.
This intention was either an opportunity or a unique treasure.
He and Li Mengxi looked at each other without saying anything. Both of them nodded their heads. After which, the true essence in their hands moved, and the small bonfire was extinguished. Two figures followed the fireflies as they walked through the Forest of Fireflies in the dark night.
There was a small lake in a certain place. This place had long been occupied by the fireflies. In the middle of the lake, a cluster of light that was like a blazing sun was swaying in the breeze.
