Chapter 336: Something Queer About the Beast Essence (2/2)
Early the next morning, the army departed. After climbing the cliff and resting for a short while, they headed straight for the Desolate Region.
When they reached the next town, they replenished their supplies before setting off.
They were getting closer to the Desolate Region and more and more spirit beasts appeared. Some of the timid spirit beasts would flee when they saw the army marching over from a distance as they were afraid of being captured. But there were plenty of fearless spirit beasts that rushed over to do battle with the large army.
Whenever a spirit beast attacked, Lu Wenshu and Pei Rumo would deal with it before it could arrive before the army. They would then extract the beast essence for Bai Luochu.
Initially, she accepted it happily. However, the more she received, the more she felt that something was wrong. There was some mutation in the beast essence but she wasn’t able to do proper research as they were rushing towards the Desolate Region.
…
After a long journey, they were finally two days away from the elusive Desolate Region. The army set up camp and decided to have a good rest.
After dinner, Bai Luochu headed back to her tent and she decided to study the mutated beast essence.
Looking at those collected recently, Bai Luochu’s frown became deeper. There was definitely something odd with the beast essences. Even though it looked fine, it might pose a problem if hastily refined into medicine.
Bai Luochu contemplated for a moment before making the decision to discuss with Pei Rumo.
When Pei Rumo saw Bai Luochu entering his tent, he was rather confused. He couldn’t fathom why Bai Luochu would look for him all of a sudden. Shouldn’t she be cultivating or concocting medicine?
Even though he felt that something was wrong, he still poured a cup of hot tea for her. “It is already late. Why are you looking for me?”
Bai Luochu stayed silent for a long time before saying, “I noticed something strange about the beasts essences we harvested recently.”
“What about it?” Pei Rumo didn’t normally deal with spirit beasts, hence, it was natural that he couldn’t sense anything wrong.
“Your First Highness better ask someone to invite Lu Wenshu over. I am afraid that my current cultivation isn’t strong enough to make a proper examination. If Lu Wenshu is here, there shouldn’t be any problems.” Bai Luochu stated.
