Chapter 40 - Exploiting Resources (1/2)

After Frozen Cloud Fairies joined my group, we started exploring the place, with all the snow in the way, finding herb would be hard...

But, I have my cheat formation to help with that, it was another thing which impressed the group of fairies which joined us.

”This is impressive Master Jian! how does it even work?” The older Fairy by name Shui Wushuang asked me with interest, as she was standing next to me and she was looking at the rolled-out map in my hands.

”Well, in simple terms it will be that I used three small formations, which are working together, one is scanning the land, through Profound energy, another one is absorbing Profound energy from land and air to expand, and third is sending back this information to me...” Her eyes grew bigger and bigger, the more I explained the more she had that Fen Juechen look...

While she is more the serious type of girl, which I bypassed with a simple conversation, the other girl by name Wu Xuexin, is more of the shy type which she is hiding under her Frozen Cloud Fairy aloft exterior.

”This is incredible... No wonder Senior Master Chu agreed to your proposal...” Cang Yue hearing that only 'Humph' and said something about 'of course she did!'

I only chuckled hearing that, and continue walking with map in hands, while same time told the girl to collect any stuff with Profound energy Inside of it.

We continued doing that until we stumbled upon...

Massive...

Very Massive...

Landmark burning with blue Profound energy flames...

As it was through the whole map in my hand turned blue flame-like...

Everywhere I saw on the map was Profound energy.

”What....in hell is this thing!!!” I said loudly enough to attract everyone attention.

”What is it, Master Jian!?” Fairy Shui asked, as she was one of the closest at that time, moments later everyone was around me.

”Look... and tell me what you think?” I showed the map to the girls...

”...It's like we standing on some sort of concentration of Profound energy...” My lovely Qingyue said first.

I nodded at her and gave her the map for a moment, then I got on one knee and I put my hand on the ground.

With a simple Profound energy shockwave, I learned what it was...

'A Profound beast of a Tyrant Profound... It's a good thing it's in hibernation right now...' Ying'er said with a little bit relief.

'Indeed...' As I said that, I continued sensing the beast, and then I noticed something weird... it has some sort of connection running to the surface...

”What did you sensed dear?” Cang Yue asked me.

”Well it's a Hibernating Tyrant Profound beast...” The Frozen Cloud Fairies gasped loudly dropping that indifferent face they usually try to have.

”What you going to do?”

I got back up my feet, and for a second I had internal battle what to do...

”We shall see, first we going to find to what that massive beast is connected to here on the surface...” I moved forward.

Shui Wushuang and Wu Xuexin looked at me and Cang Yue as if we are insane.

”W-wait! don't you realised that it's a Tyrant Profound Beast!?, Something Like this is unheard of! and you simply ignoring much massive danger! We literally walking on top of it!” The girl dropped her cool and said loudly.

”Nothing ventured nothing gain Fairy Shui, You will be forever average if you not going to risk yourself...” I told her in an indifferent tone... Fairies Shui and Wu flinched hearing that, only Qingyue quickly arrived next to me, as we continued walking deeper into this area.

Of course, only a few seconds later both girls eventually joined us back, only much more antsy and vigilant...

Walking around a hundred metres into this area, we finally founded to what this Profound Beast is connected to...

*LOUD WHISTLE*

”Girls...you both are far too stiff...” I shook my head as I walked towards...it.

'Master... your luck is quite something...' Ying'er said with little bit amazement, I internally nodded to her.

”...This is...” Qingyue looked at me with shock.

”Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus...A quite rare and powerful herb, A fast ticket to Emperor Profound realm...” Hearing my short explanation all the girl looked at the blue Lotus flower.

”W-What a treasure!” Fairy Shui said.

'Master with this you can reach Throne level with one go!' Ying'er said with her own greed radiating from her, I can only shake my head, the girl is turning greedy for me...

'Yes... it will help me to reach the Throne level, but you don't see the true value of this Ying'er...' She raised her elegant eyebrow at me

'How so?' she asked with interest.

'Just watch and learn my 'Goddess'...' I said with a smile, as I waved my hand at the blue lotus flower.

Next I pulled my notebook and opened an empty page on it, writing a set of Profound Runes, which slowly started to expand through the whole notebook page, slowly morphing into the image of the said Blue lotus flower.

”What are you doing?” Yue'er walked over to my side.

”Learning... this flower over here has enough pure refined Profound energy to pull a person's cultivation to Emperor Profound, Finding something like that is extremely rare...” I said to her as I observed the flower with my profound energy vision, how this thing compressed so much energy into such a small body is a wondrous sight to see!, it's like staring at 21 century smartphone, when you personally are from the '90s!

Cang Yue leaned forward and stared at the Notebook over my shoulder, she needed to stand of her tiptoes, other girls followed her example and they surrounded me...

”In very simple terms if I can learn a few simple secrets of this lotus Flower I could improve my normal pills by several levels, in fact, I could start making pills without even relying on Profound beast cores...” I said to them as I was studying the blue thing.

”...How so?” Qingyue asked with a curious expression.

”Well, for example, I could lay down a formation which follows this lotus flower profound energy absorption patterns, pumping herbs with lots of Profound energy, that alone will open many new paths for many more different pills, as herbs can evolve in different ways...” I finished saying that as full scan analysis was done and there was a full report on my notebook page.

Now that I have a full detailed analysis of this beautiful lotus flower which I wouldn't mind having in my herb garden... time to pluck it...
