AST 867 – Hard To Find the Sky Penetrating Grass, Treasure Beast Treasure Hunting Pigs

When Qing Shui heard the lady’s words, he also felt that Cheng Clan was really unlucky. Since they dared to enter deep 100,000 li in, it meant that they were pretty powerful but were just unlucky to have came across the Golden Jiao King.

Sometimes, this was how people were. Everything would be decided in one unlucky event. Therefore, luck was very important. It was not something that could be grasped or seen but yet seemed to exist.

Qing Shui didn’t ask why they had gone to the Sky Penetrating Mountains, since it was not something he should be asking. In this area, he had been insisting that things were none of his business or were related to other people’s secrets, he wouldn’t take the initiative to ask. It was just like now, how he would not ask in detail why the other party had come to the Sky Penetrating Mountains.

“Are you here to look for something in the Sky Penetrating Mountains? Is it something that you are at ease to share? I can see if it’s located somewhere I know of,” the lady looked at Qing Shui and spoke softly.

“Of course. I’m here to look for Sky Penetrating Grass which is 5,000 Years or older,” Qing Shui looked at the lady and said slowly.

Hearing Qing Shui’s words, the lady was stunned and didn’t speak for a long time.

Qing Shui looked at that extremely unnatural expression on her beautiful face and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I can be very sure that there’s no Sky Penetrating Grass within 100,000 li. The Sky Penetrating Grass is deeper within the Sky Penetrating Mountains.” The lady hesitated for a moment before replying.

Qing Shui was stunned as well. Although he had expected this result, he still felt an indescribable sense of helplessness. It was because if it was not within 100,000 li, it would be really hard for him to get his hands on it.

“Then does Miss know how deep in I would be able to find Sky Penetrating Grass?” Qing Shui thought that since this lady from Mu Clan had came here not less than ten times, she should know something about the place. Even if she hadn’t encountered them, she should know something about them. Moreover, there had been people who had gotten their hands on Sky Penetrating Grass from these mountains.

“I’m not very sure but I’ve heard that someone had found the Sky Penetrating Grass about 300,000 li inside,” the lady from Mu Clan hesitated and said.

Qing Shui thought that since there was one near 300,000 li deep, then there might possibly be another. At the same time, it also meant one thing, which was that there should be the existence of Sky Penetrating Grass from this range onward.

Another thing was that there were people who could enter 300,000 li in, while Mu Clan could only enter 100,000 li in. It might be because Mu Clan had done this for the sake of the future and for safety purposes did not want to take greater risks.

“Thank you. After you guys have completed your mission or have reached the limits where you can go, there’s no need for you to care about me. I’ll go look for the Sky Penetrating Grass. Thank you for bringing me here.” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“With your abilities, if you were to head deeper beyond 100,000 li, chances are that you’ll die. Is the Sky Penetrating Grass more important than your life?” The lady frowned and asked. After all, Dong Clan had entrusted her with the task of taking care of him and even Dong Clan’s Old Master had brought it up himself. It was just that at the beginning, it was only agreed that he would be entering the Sky Penetrating Mountains with Mu Clan and there was no mention that he was going to look for the Sky Penetrating Grass. It was not something she could bring up on her side.

“I’d like to give it a try. Don’t worry, Dong Clan won’t blame you.”

“If I had known that you were here to look for the Sky Penetrating Grass, I’d definitely not have brought you along,” the lady sighed and said.

“I’ll familiarize myself with the environment while I’m with you guys before I enter slightly deeper in. It might not be as dangerous as it’s imagined to be.” Qing Shui seemed as if he was consoling himself.

“Can you not go? Don’t be hoping to be lucky,” the lady spoke through clenched teeth.

“I really need the Sky Penetrating Grass. I’ll be very careful,” Qing Shui hesitated a moment before saying.

This time around, the lady did not say much. She knew that Qing Shui would definitely go.

Very quickly, the two of them returned to the area where their tents were. Not long after, two old men from Mu Clan walked over to Qing Shui.

It was Mu Yiping’s and Mu Yiang’s third and seventh uncles. Their intentions were very clear, which was hoping that Qing Shui would not go deeper into the Sky Penetrating Mountains. They were on quite good terms with Dong Clan’s Old Master, who had specially gone to Mu Clan for Qing Shui. Therefore, these two old men were also hoping to change Qing Shui’s decision about entering deeper into the mountains.

“Sirs, don’t worry. There shouldn’t be any problems.” Qing Shui had not expected the two of them to be persuading him relentlessly. He knew that it was because of Dong Clan or it could also be because of his culinary skills…

For the past few days, Qing Shui had mostly been the one in charge of cooking and everyone’s taste buds had been trained up by him, making it hard for them to eat ordinary cooking.

“We knew that this might happen but when the time comes, before you leave, let us know.” One of the old men gave it some thought and said.

“Of course, that goes without saying,” Qing Shui smiled and said.

…

The next day, after the sun rose up and the fog in the mountains gradually scattered, Qing Shui and the others had entered the Sky Penetrating Mountains. There was only one huge entrance to the valley into the Sky Penetrating Mountains and upon entering everything lit up.
