581 Seven Star Beauty Orchid Grass (1/2)
The situation was incredibly complicated!
The quest was very extraordinary. Not only did it concern the safety of Beggar's Sect's branch in Phoenix Sun County, it also concerned the safety of Reverend Zhang Sanfeng's head disciple, who was also the future sect leader of Wudang Sect.
If Happy could not complete the quest successfully, it would not just affect his relationship with beggar's Sect, but Zhang Sanfeng's affection for him might also plummet. Also, there were Ming Cult's people in the hall as well. If Happy could not save them, Zhang Wuji's affection for him would also fall, and his relationship with the rest of Ming Cult would return to what it had been before!
'Huang Rong, Guo Jing, you two are truly amazing. This favor is so hard to return…'
Happy sucked in a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
”Physician Wang, since you are confident that you can save Great Hero Song and my friends from Ming Cult, that is good. Where is this Seven Star Beauty Orchid Grass?”
”Ah…” Physician Wang sucked in a deep breath in a troubled manner. ”I do know where Seven Star Beauty Orchid Grass lies. This herb loves the cold. The colder it is, the higher the chances of it growing there.
”There are only two places in Phoenix Sun County that are suitable for Seven Star Beauty Orchid Grass to grow. Based on the herb picker of my apothecary, to the north is a mountain called Moon View Mountain, which has a cold spring at the summit. There might be Seven Star Beauty Orchid Grass in the cave near that cold spring.”
Physician Wang had only mentioned the first spot, and he was not even certain whether Seven Star Beauty Orchid Grass would really be there, but Happy noticed that Chen Youliang seemed to have something to say, and he instantly frowned.
”What about the other site?”
”The other site is too far away. And I heard rumors that it is one of the hiding spots of the evil cult. If you go there, there is a high chance that you will not succeed, and you might even lose your life. I believe that you should go and test your luck at Moon View Mountain,” Physician Wang kindly said.
”With Great Hero Song and the others' physical constitutions along with my Calming Fragrance, they can last four days (which is forty-eight hours in real time). If you can't find it in Moon View Mountain, then we can only blame me for making a misjudgment, and it is their fate to fall to this poison.”
When Happy heard that, he noticed that Chen Youliang's expression had turned incredibly resigned, and he immediately became certain that there would be no Seven Star Beauty Orchid Grass on Moon View Mountain. The antidote was somewhere else.
Besides, since the poison-like substance came from the evil cult and the other site was coincidentally a hiding spot for the evil cult, there was no need to even think to know the relationship between the two.
”Physician Wang, since there is no danger on Moon View Mountain, why didn't you send someone to search for the herb?”
When Physician Wang heard Happy's question, he laughed bitterly. ”I-I'm afraid I must tell you the truth. I sent two of my disciples to search for it, but they found nothing. I really have no other way to cure them now.”
'I knew it!'
”If that's the case, please tell me the location of the other site. There's absolutely no problem with me taking a little risk for Great Hero Song and my friends of Wudang Sect and Ming Cult,” Happy said in a justified manner.
Chen Youliang and Physician Wang looked at each other.
”If that's the case, Physician Wang, please tell all that you know to Young Swordsman Happy.” Chen Youliang stopped talking for a moment before he said, ”I will transfer Great Hero Song and the others to a secret branch underground to protect them. At the same time, I will attract the evil cult's attention so that I can buy you some time.”
”Since you're willing to do it, then I will leave the safety of Great Hero Song and the others to you.” Happy wrapped his fist in his palm.
Once he finished speaking, he learned of the location where the evil cult hid and received the quest before he left in a hurry.
*****
Phoenix Sun County to Extreme Yin Lake, which was the spot Physician Wang spoke of, was actually quite far. Happy would need around fourteen to sixteen hours to travel back and forth on a normal steed, but he did not have that much time to waste.
Happy did not dare to be negligent. He sent Thunderous Battle a messenger pigeon and asked him to send him a Horse Plate before he got on a horse and left with a trail of dust behind him!
While riding, Happy looked through the Universe Bag he got from the evil cult elite, and he found that there were actually quite a lot of good items inside. Aside from a few grade one masterpieces and a Moksha Realm fist technique manual, there was also a Sky Demon Order and three Hill Breaker Golden Needles that caused his mood to go up.
Sky Demon Order was currently useless, but in the future, when their strength and equipment was up to date, the item would become very useful to enter the ruins of Sky Demon Sect.
As for Hill Breaker Golden Needle, it could be used after learning certain hidden weapon techniques, but its damage and speed was not the main thing that was attractive about it. Instead, it was its ability to break body fortifications at close distance, which could catch people off guard.
