Chapter 887 - Successful Capture (2/2)

His fist directly created a crater in the ground, spreading cracks around the areas.

~THUD~

About a meter from the edge of the crater, a bulge appeared and a certain spirit herb was pushed out.

”Now I got you!” Lin Mu said before he quickly blinked to the spirit herb and firmly grasped it.

~sha~sha~sha~

Upon doing this though, Lin Mu infuriated the spirit herb, and it unfurled its branches and leaves.

~shingling~

The leaves suddenly turned rigid and sharp before slashing at Lin Mu.

~DENG~ DENG~ deng~

Sparks were created as the sickle like leaves hit the Mortal Strengthening Scriptures armor. Lin Mu was unaffected and simply watched on in amusement as the spirit herb struggle.

”This thing isn't weak at all…” Lin Mu said as he felt the pull of the spirit herb.

It was trying its best to escape, but could not leave Lin Mu's grasp.

Hua Yi approached Lin Mu, feeling surprised at the pace at which Lin Mu caught the spirit herb. He recalled how it had taken their sect over a month to catch a spirit herb like this before.

At that time, he had just joined the sect and was barely at the body tempering realm. It was a long time ago, and he only learned all of that due to being a disciple of the Patriarch.

”At what level do you estimate its strength to be senior Lin Mu?” Hua Yi questioned.

”Hmmm… it is at least equivalent to a Nascent soul realm creature. Those leaves are very sharp too and will cut through steel. Even a Nascent soul realm beast might be injured.” Lin Mu answered.

~gulp~

Hua Yi couldn't help but swallow his saliva hearing this. The spirit herb's spirit Qi fluctuations seemed to be far weaker than what its actual power was. It could very well make a cultivator lower their guard and then kill them.

”Let's get this over with.” Lin Mu muttered and stored the spirit herb into the ring.

He specifically put it in an area that had some soil and spirit stones that had been kept together. Lin Mu had learned from the Wood Spirit Tulip and knew what the spirit herbs liked.

'That should keep it fine for the time being.' Lin Mu thought.

~phew~

”That was way quicker than I thought it would take us.” Hua Yi spoke after taking a breath of relief.

”Indeed. This plan went just as I had hoped it would.” Lin Mu said, feeling pleased. ”Not many of my plans have been going as I expected these days, so one going perfectly feels good.” He added.

”Plans are always subject to change and fate will often gamble with our plans… this is something I often heard Master say.” Hua Yi stated.

”That is true.” Lin Mu said with a nod, recalling the words of senior Xukong as well that were rather similar.

”Do we go back now?” Little Shrubby questioned.

”Indeed. We head back. And this till we'll be even quicker, since we don't have to be on the ground.” Lin Mu answered with a smile.

”ALRIGHT!” Little Shrubby said before the upgraded harness appeared on his back.
