Chapter 693: An Intelligent Herb (1/2)

With the increase in his Five Treasures realm cultivation, Lin Mu felt incredibly pleased.

”This will work! I just need to find more Hundred year old Hong Lin trees.” Lin Mu said whit excitement.

He looked around to see if Little Shrubby had returned yet or not but did not see him there. He closed his eyes and sensed his connection, only to find that Little Shrubby was fifty kilometers away from him in the southern direction.

”Did he find something there?” Lin Mu wondered.

He then flew towards little Shrubby's direction and reached it after a few minutes. There Lin Mu saw Little Shrubby fighting another creature.

”Huh? What is that?” Lin Mu wondered.

The creature Little Shrubby was fighting was not a beast but rather a plant. The plant was moving around underground and popping up to attack Little Shrubby. Little Shrubby was chasing the plant around trying to catch him.

Lin Mu could tell that Little Shrubby didn't intend to kill the plant otherwise with his speed he would have done it rather easily.

”What are you doing little Shrubby?” Lin Mu questioned.

Little Shrubby who was in the middle of a jump, missed his target and the plant moved away quickly. Lin Mu didn't really get to take a good look at the plant and from what he could see it was just a brown root.

Little Shrubby looked up at Lin Mu who had just appeared and spoke ”Catch it, its good ingredient!”

Hearing this Lin Mu didn't know if he should laugh or not.

'No wonder…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He extended his spirit sense and let it penetrate the ground. There he finally got to see the real appearance of the plant. Just as he had thought it was a spirit herb and was in the form of an onion like bulb.

It had long roots that were several tens of meters long, while at its top it had flat green leaves that numbered eleven. Lin Mu did not immediately realize what spirit herb this was but since it was able to move around like this, Lin Mu knew it was no common spirit herb.

”Oh?” Xukong's surprised voice was heard in Lin Mu's mind.

”What happened senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”It's a peak grade herb that has managed to gain intelligence,” Xukong spoke.

”Peak grade herb?” Lin Mu repeated as a smile appeared in his mind.

He quickly extended his hand in the direction of the spirit herb which was now trying to run away. Since Lin Mu had also appeared and he was quite strong which the spirit herb could perceive, it decided it was no longer worth it to fight and started to run away.

Alas, it was Lin Mu he was trying to escape from which was very difficult now.

”Meld,” Lin Mu said as the entire area around the spirit herb was frozen.
