Chapter 10 – Star Cryptic Grass

The three things Xiao Che said caused Xia Qing Yue’s slightly closed phoenix eyes to suddenly open, “What are you going to do?”

“Could it be that you really have a way to get them?” Seeing that Xia Qing Yue actually did not directly reject it, Xiao Che immediately asked with hope.

Xia Qing Yue slightly sank her eyebrows and slowly said, “I haven’t heard of the Seven Xuan Linglong Grass, the Xuan Dan of an Earth Xuan Beast needs to be hunted and killed in order to obtain it, and how many people in the entire Cangfeng Empire are able to hunt and kill Earth Xuan Beasts? Even if the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace has them, they must be as few as a handful. On the other hand, the Purple Vein Heavenly Crystal was a treasure of the heavens and earth that no amount of money could buy, and that the four great sects would go crazy over! Getting one is enough to be worth ten years of hard cultivation. These three items, not to mention me, even if it is the Palace Master, it is almost impossible to obtain all of them at the same time.”

Xiao Che’s chest heaved for a moment before he closed his eyes and remained speechless for a long time.

“What exactly is this wanting to obtain these three things?” Xia Qingyue took the initiative to ask.

“Repairing the Xuan Vein.” Xiao Che answered truthfully.

“…… I can’t help you.” Xia Qingyue said, and at the same time, she did not believe that these three items could repair the Xuan Vein. Otherwise, her master would never be unaware of it.

Xiao Che shook his head and said indifferently, “These three items are indeed not something that ordinary people can get their hands on, and I was just asking casually.” After a pause, he said in a voice that was a few points smaller, “Wife, do you think we will meet again after you return to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace?”

“Don’t call me wife again! My name is Xia Qingyue!” Xia Qingyue couldn’t bear it anymore and her voice went at least eight degrees colder.

Xiao Che, however, did not care and said leisurely, “I married you, you married me, but we have worshipped heaven and earth, a thousand people witnessed it, and all the procedures that should be taken have been taken. Now I am your husband, you are my wife, what do I call you if I don’t call you my wife?”

“…… “Xia Qingyue was speechless for a moment, and only after a while did she indifferently say, “Forget it, whatever.”

Xiao Che instantly grinned and laughed …… This wife can’t be touched, but taking advantage of some of the mouth is still necessary!

“You haven’t answered the question I just asked …… After you return to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, will we meet again?” Xiao Che asked again.

“No.” Xia Qingyue replied.

“Good!” Xiao Che nodded, then leaned his head on the wall behind him and said with his eyes closed, “Actually, you should have returned to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace earlier without needing to worry about me. With your talent, you shouldn’t have stayed in this small Liuyun City in the first place, and even more so, you shouldn’t have been tied down by me. After you leave, your identity is public, and with the aura of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace disciple husband in place, at least no one in this Flowing Cloud City should dare to positively harm me, and I’ll live a little more comfortably because of it……. Oh yeah, you should have no problem with me taking a concubine, right?”

“…… Feel free.” Xia Qingyue said expressionlessly.

“Well, that’s more or less the same, otherwise, you will never see me again in this life, and if you don’t let me take a concubine again, I really intend to repudiate you then.”

Sparing Xia Qingyue’s heart being like still water, at this moment, she also gave birth to the strong urge to kick him out.

At this time, she suddenly saw Xiao Che stand up and walk towards the door, and instantly asked, “Where are you going?”

“Couldn’t sleep, went out to look at the stars.” Xiao Che replied, at the same time a groan in his heart …… This woman, you squat here in the middle of the night, I’ll see if you can sleep!

Xia Qing Yue did not speak again, Xiao Che pushed open the door of the room and walked outside.

At midnight, all is quiet. Standing in the center of the courtyard, Xiao Che looked at the stars in the sky, and although his gaze remained resolute, deep down, a lingering confusion settled.

Today was the first day that he had returned from rebirth, and although his heart had changed drastically compared to the past, his Xuan Vein crippled body made it so that even though he had an even more powerful state of mind, he was unable to find a way out of his current situation.

If he could obtain the Seven Xuan Linglong Grass Purple Vein Heavenly Crystal, as well as an Earth Xuan Beast’s Xuan Dan, then he would still have more than 50% certainty of repairing his Xuan Vein, but with his current abilities, it would be harder than climbing up to the heavens to get his hands on one of these three items.

In the end, this world was ultimately honored by strength. Without enough strength, wanting to realize what was in his heart could only be empty talk.

What the hell should I do ……

At this moment, a slight throbbing came from the heart of Xiao Che’s left hand, and as he subconsciously raised his left hand, he suddenly saw that the faint light released from the Heavenly Poison Bead Pattern in the center of his hand was flickering at a rather fast frequency.

Xiao Che’s pupils instantly contracted slightly as he suddenly turned around and looked towards the north.

“Could it be ……”

In addition to the Heavenly Poison Pearl’s terrifying poisonous power and powerful quenching ability, it also had a special ability, and that was the ability to sense higher poisonous materials or medicinal herbs! When there were higher poisonous materials and medicinal herbs within a certain range of the surrounding area, it would sense it and then flash its light and point to the direction where the target was located …… But the prerequisite, it had to be the highest grade of material! At the level where the Heavenly Poison Pearl was located, the higher in its eyes was not the same concept as the higher in the eyes of humans. In the Cang Yun Continent, he had only seen the Heavenly Poison Pearl flicker a total of six times, and each time, what he found was an unparalleled treasure!

On the first day of returning to this Tianxuan Continent, the Heavenly Poison Pearl actually showed such a sensation! What worldly treasures are hidden in this neighborhood?

The direction that the Heavenly Poison Bead was pointing to was the north …… which was also the direction of Xiao Sect’s back mountain.

Although Xiao Che had a courtyard of his own, the location was the most remote in the entire Xiao Sect, and could also be said to be the most dangerous. Because over the courtyard wall of this small courtyard was the back mountain. This back mountain was the private land of the Xiao Sect, in which a small number of low-grade Xuan Beasts roamed, and occasionally, it would happen that Xuan Beasts would flip over the courtyard wall and break in, and if one wanted to sneak into the Xiao Sect, flipping over the back mountain into the zone here was also quite a good choice. However, with the Xiao Sect’s power in Liuyun City, at least until today no one had done so.

Xiao Che did not hesitate and directly tumbled out over the wall. Although the power of the Primordial Xuan Realm Level 1 was very low, it was still not a problem to climb over a wall that was less than three meters high.

The back mountain area was quiet and gloomy, the previous Xiao Che would never have had the guts to come here in the middle of the night. However, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky and countless stars, the light was not too dim. Xiao Che looked around and after determining that no one was there, he lightened his footsteps and walked in the direction pointed out by the Heavenly Poison Pearl.

The mountains under the moonlight seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of smoke, mysterious and dangerous. Not long after, Xiao Che had arrived at the foot of the mountains, and it was also at this place that the flickering frequency of the Heavenly Poison Pearl reached its highest. Xiao Che stopped his footsteps and was puzzled for a while …… Could it be in this neighborhood? But this is clearly the foot of the mountain area, those pharmacists in the Xiao Sect must pass by the place every day, if it is grown here, not to mention the heaven and earth exotic treasures, even if it is a slightly better medicinal herb, it is bound to have been discovered a long time ago, which would still wait for him to come and pick it.

But the flickering of the Heavenly Poison Bead reached this frequency, which already meant that the target was within ten paces of the surrounding area.

Borrowing the bright moonlight, Xiao Che’s brows tightened as his gaze began to slowly move, carefully searching every inch of the surrounding land.

Generally speaking, the more precious the medicinal herbs, the more they would grow in a treacherous or extreme place, and as this foothill area was filled with weeds at a glance, Xiao Che could not help but begin to wonder if there was something wrong with the Heavenly Poison Bead’s sensing.

After sweeping his line of sight in a small circle, apart from the weeds, he did not find even the most common medicinal herb. Just as he was about to give up, out of the corner of his eye, there was suddenly a place where some sort of vague change vaguely appeared.

How sharp was Xiao Che’s spiritual sense nowadays, he quickly raised his head and at the first opportunity, he looked towards the direction where a sense of disharmony had suddenly appeared just now. There was also a patch of weeds there, which had not been trampled on because they were growing on the edge of a rock. Xiao Che walked over and squatted at the edge of the rock, his eyes staring at the weeds, and after a long time, he firmly locked onto the center of the weeds……. The vitality of the grasses was very tenacious, and in the absence of interference, they could be said to be pervasive, taking root everywhere. And in the middle of this obviously untrampled cluster of weeds, there was a vacancy. This vacancy was small, so small that it could only accommodate the growth of two small grasses at most, but it appeared here in a particularly incongruous manner.

A gust of night wind slowly whisked by, the grasses around him swayed slightly, and right at this moment, the “vacancy” that Xiao Che’s eyes had been firmly locked onto, suddenly a bizarre and incomparable image of two small grasses appeared …… flashed for a split second, and then disappeared again without a trace.

Xiao Che’s eyes fiercely wide, and then filled with ecstasy, he quickly stretched out his left hand, the palm of the Heavenly Poison Bead close to the vacancy, at once, under the weak green light, the two “small grass” slowly appeared. They were two fingers high, dark green in color, and looked no different from the surrounding weeds.

“Star Hidden Grass! It’s really Star Hidden Grass! It’s still two plants!” Xiao Che let out a low roar of excitement as his left hand directly grabbed it, and with a flash of light from the Heavenly Poison Bead, the two plants of the Starry Cryptic Grass were plucked down by the roots and entered Xiao Che’s palm.

The higher the medicinal herbs, the more difficult it was to pick them, and the slightest carelessness could cause damage to the medicinal herbs, which could result in a great decrease in efficacy, or a direct waste. However, with the Heavenly Poison Pearl in the body, no matter what was picked, there was absolutely no need to have such scruples, because the aura of the Heavenly Poison Pearl would completely wrap the target in the moment of picking, so that the aura in it wouldn’t be able to leak out at all.

“It’s more of a miracle than a surprise!” Looking at the two plants of Starry Cryptic Grass that loomed in his palm, Xiao Che’s arms trembled a little with excitement. During the twenty-four years in the Cang Yun Continent, he had almost traveled all over the world and had only found one plant of the Starry Cryptic Grass, but on the first day of his return to the Tianxuan Continent, he had actually found two plants at once! And it was also right in the middle of his own backyard!

The appearance of the Starry Hidden Grass looked no different from ordinary weeds, and it was almost impossible to be noticed. At the same time, it also had an incomparably bizarre ability …… that was invisibility! In this way, it was even more difficult to discover it. However, at the beginning of the master and he said, although the star hidden grass is the heaven and earth treasure, but the people who know it exists is very few, can recognize it, the whole continent is not more than five people, and can complete quenching it, under the heavens, the only one is the heavenly poison bead!

“Truly the heavens have helped me, with these two Star Concealment Grasses, it’s the same as having two foolproof trump cards! After quenching out the Star Cryptic Dan, life-preserving Yin people robbing wealth and color and killing people …… simply do what you want to do ah!” Holding the Star Concealment Grass in his hand tightly before teleporting it to the space of the Heavenly Poison Pearl, Xiao Che silently smiled.

The flickering of the Heavenly Poison Bead also completely stopped at this time. Xiao Che, who was in a good mood, also had no reason to continue staying here, and turned around to prepare to return, and right at the moment he turned around, out of the corner of his eye, an instant of abnormal cold light suddenly flashed by.

The footsteps that Xiao Che was about to take stopped and he turned his head to look in the direction where that cold light flashed. Through the not too dim moonlight, he suddenly saw that less than fifty meters to the north, there was a blurry, indistinct white shadow.

What was that?
