Chapter 443 - Divine Herb Delivery Man (1/2)

It was only less than two days since Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er had come to the Returning Ruins, and they had already witnessed a myriad of things beyond imagination. Every single incident they witnessed flew in the face of their worldviews; it would be a lie to say that they were not terrified at all.

And the biggest trump card Zhong Yue has was precisely the copper lamp and Xin Huo, but he had just gone into hibernation. With his trump card gone now, even Zhong Yue couldn't tell if they would survive what's to come.

For example, the hairs, skulls, and pallid faces were not something he was able to defend against, and if it weren't for Xin Huo's help, they would already be long dead!

Without Xin Huo's help, the rest of their journey was bound to be filled with peril!

Zhong Yue sucked a deep breath of air, and he calmed his mind and kept the copper lamp in his Yuan Shen secret realms. He raised his head and said, "Jin'er, let's move!"

They did not travel far from where they were before Qiu Jin'er exclaimed, "Senior martial brother, look! Is that the godly rays of a divine herb?"

Zhong Yue raised his head and looked over. Sure enough, there was the godly rays and the intriguing fragrance characteristic of a divine herb!

"Another divine herb!"

Zhong Yue glanced at the huge carrot on his shoulder and said, "This is where your Cusia brother is at?"

Husan Weng shook its head with a puzzled expression on its face, "This is too close to the Crimson Water River, there shouldn't be any divine herbs here at all. Well, there was once a divine herb here, but it was soon flushed away into the river by the big guys. Did any divine herb so stupid enough to not learn from its senior's experience?"

Zhong Yue mulled, and he whispered to the young lady and said, "Jin'er, careful. It might be a trap."

Qiu Jin'er nodded. She wasn't the young and inexperienced girl anymore, but a hall master of Swords Gate. She had fought countless battles and pulled through many dangers. She battled in the war with the South Barren Zhong Li Celestial Race that even Zhong Yue didn't join. Qiu Jin'er had valiantly fought at the frontlines of that war from the first clash to when the last speck of dust finally settled on the battlefield.

The two of them walked forward, and they reached the front of an abandoned backyard with the fences broken and part of the walls crushed. This would be a ruined celestial temple abandoned when the imperial court shattered away. There was still the hazy smoke threading out from underground.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er didn't look at the divine herb and scanned the surroundings. Qiu Jin'er then looked at Zhong Yue and said, "Senior martial brother…"

Zhong Yue was also looking at her, and he winked his eyes and exclaimed in happiness, "No one!"

Qiu Jin'er hesitated for a final time before nodding, "Yes, there's no one around here. It seems like the divine herb is ours to claim!"

"However, we still need to be careful. There are usually some godly seals around the divine herbs, although thousands of years have passed, there is no guarantee they are gone now. Crossing the river was not easy, and we need to tend to our wounds as soon as possible. We should fully recover first before going for the divine herb."

Qiu Jin'er nodded obediently, and then the two of them sat down at a corner of the backyard. Zhong Yue took out the divine herb that he stole from the Gui Shen Celestial race, a plant whose leaves were shaped like hands and their fruits resembled like the tiny pearls.

It was a divine herb that went by the name of the Rosary Fruit Plant.

Zhong Yue plucked out two fruits and gave one to Qiu Jin'er. He smiled and said, "We have both taken a Shen Yi Fruit just now, and these divine herbs are truly beneficial to our cultivation base. I wonder what kind of effect these Rosary Fruits will have on our cultivation base."

Yan Zhen in the dark was excited, What luck, these two Kun Lun Qi Practitioners have to have gotten two divine herbs! But now, they are all mine!

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er both consumed the Rosary Fruits, and their bodies shuddered for a split second. There was a grand and imposing voice sounding in their ears, stimulating their psyche ocean and stirring their psyche vigorously!

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er both had strong and extraordinary psyches; they had cultivated the lightning and thunder totem patterns and tempered their psyche in the lightning zone. Zhong Yue's psyche ocean was wholly converted into a lightning sea, and Qiu Jin'er was not too far away from that stage as well.

While as soon they consumed the Rosary Fruits, their psyche ocean expanded at an incredible rate, and their psyche filled their psyche ocean to the brink, their strength increased at a monumental rate!

In the dark, Yan Zhen frowned and thought, Why are they consuming the divine herbs here? Logically speaking, any Qi Practitioners would get their hands on the free-to-claim divine herb before doing anything else. Did they see through my covers and noticed it as a trap?

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er sat unmovingly for nearly a whole day. It was only once they had fully processed the medicinal efficacies of both the Shen Yi and Rosary Fruits that they stood up.

Their gains this time were considerable, to say the least!

But Yan Zhen was also a patient hunter, he remained still and waited even though Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er stayed unmoved for nearly a whole day.

Now they had absorbed the medicinal efficacies, the next thing they would do would be to keep the divine herb?, Yan Zhen thought, My Xuan Yin Hundred Demon Banners are the divine weapons of my teacher Yama three saint. As long as they enter the banner array formation, they won't be able to even survive seconds in it!

Zhong Yue stood up. Seeing the young man striding toward the divine herb in the middle background, Yan Zhen readied himself, and his heart pounded in joy. Suddenly, Qiu Jin'er said, "Senior martial brother, are you hungry?"

"A little." Zhong Yue stopped and turned his head back, he smiled and answered.

Qiu Jin'er then took out packs of snacks, and Zhong Yue sat down. The young man and young lady were enjoying the snacks and conversed happily. Another hour or so passed and Yan Zhen was still hiding in the dark, waiting for his prey to finish.
