After leaving Xu Xiaoshan, Yu Tao and the other quickly stopped.
“Thank you, Mr. Ye, for helping the Tianyuan Sect capture the spy!”
“Now that our Ruby is destroyed, we two should return to our team as soon as possible to explain everything to our superiors. We bid farewell to Mr. Ye, and we will meet again in the future!”
Yu Tao and his companion bowed to Ye Cangtian.
After all, the Tianyuan Sect had no connection with the Hidden Group. If they acted together with the Hidden Group, it would easily cause misunderstandings with other forces.
To return to the current Hidden Group, which was in the spotlight, any misunderstanding by other forces might bring trouble to the Tianyuan Sect.
Besides, if they truly found any valuable treasures, Yu Tao and his companion understood that they would belong to the Hidden Group.
Therefore, after a quiet discussion, the two finally decided it was best to separate from the Hidden Group.
Hearing Yu Tao’s words, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, “Then you two take care. If you need any help, you can come to me directly, and I will help you if I can.”
From the moment Yu Tao faced the Feiyun Pavilion and was willing to reveal everything, Ye Cangtian had already confirmed Yu Tao’s character.
So, if Yu Tao were in crisis, he would still be willing to help.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tao nodded gratefully. After thanking him, he disappeared into the jungle with his companion.
After Yu Tao left, Rose came to Ye Cangtian’s side, her cold voice sounding.
“Cangtian, that was clearly a signal released by Feiyun. Perhaps they found something. Should we go and see?”
In Rose’s opinion, Hun Yi would not just let things go so easily. There must be something else important.
And this so-called important matter should be that other disciples of the Feiyun Pavilion had discovered a great treasure.
Ye Cangtian heard this, smiled slightly, and shook his head, saying, “Let’s not go for now. Such a big commotion will definitely attract many forces. Even if we go there, it will be difficult to get any advantage!”
In Ye Cangtian’s view, as long as they did not find a secret realm or a Mustard Seed space, they did not need to fight for any other treasures.
Hearing Ye Cangtian’s words, Rose nodded. Let these forces fight for now, and then no one would pay attention to them, which was also good.
Continuing forward, three days passed.
Ye Cangtian and the others slowly searched in the jungle. Traces of battles were everywhere, and the smell of blood grew more intense.
This showed that the battles were continuously escalating.
However, Ye Cangtian and the others had still found nothing in this situation, and had not made any progress so far.
“Boss, if we continue like this, will we just be runners-up?”
Finally, Ci Dao couldn't help but approach Ye Cangtian and asked softly.
Searching so leisurely, they would have long been left behind, and all the benefits would have been obtained by others. Wouldn't they be working in vain?
In response, Ye Cangtian smiled and said angrily, “You brat, you still don’t have confidence in your boss? Don’t worry, we won’t come here for nothing.”
In Ye Cangtian’s opinion, before Qing Yan entered the jungle, she had explained the matter of the Mustard Seed space, and her purpose was very simple.
It was to find the Mustard Seed space at all costs.
Therefore, before finding the Mustard Seed space, all forces would not withdraw.
If they truly found the Mustard Seed space, then Ye Cangtian could be sure that what they had gained now was nothing compared to the Mustard Seed space.
In this way, the current struggles of those forces were meaningless, and they were just wasting their strength.
Hearing Ye Cangtian’s explanation, Ci Dao fell silent for a moment and said, “Boss, I always believe in you. But if there is no Mustard Seed space, won’t your plan be in vain?”
“The Mustard Seed space should exist.”
Ye Cangtian glanced at Ci Dao and said faintly.
It was very simple. Before, Xu Xiaoshan had found a red gem, which was almost identical to the one in the painting.
This indicated that the investigation by the Yan Yu Tower before should have been accurate and truthful.
Even if the news about the Mustard Seed space was fake, with all these forces having their own motives, there would surely be some who would deliver themselves to them…
Uh!
Hearing Ye Cangtian’s words, Ci Dao was instantly speechless. He finally understood that Ye Cangtian was playing the game of Jiang Taigong fishing, waiting for the willing to take the bait…
“Boss, I found something!”
Just as Ci Dao was about to say something, Yao Bao’er twitched her nose, shouted, and darted into the nearby bushes.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian followed without hesitation.
The next moment, Yao Bao’er was seen lying in a patch of bushes, fiddling with something.
When Ye Cangtian and the others walked over, they discovered that Yao Bao’er had taken out a medicine box and was carefully digging up a 30-40 cm tall herb.
This herb was a bit strange. Its leaves were purplish-black, with a blood-red flower on it, and some had already borne clusters of purplish-green fruits.
Overall, it looked like a poisonous plant.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian and the others couldn’t help but feel disappointed. After so many days, the first thing they found was a poisonous plant that wasn’t very useful.
“Damn, Bao’er, it’s just a poisonous plant, why are you so excited! You made us all excited…”
Taishan came to Yao Bao’er’s side, stared at the poisonous plant, and said angrily.
“Shut up if you don’t understand!”
Yao Bao’er glared fiercely at Taishan and continued to carefully dig up the herb, appearing to want to lift out the entire root.
Hearing Yao Bao’er’s unfriendly tone, Ye Cangtian frowned slightly.
He knew Yao Bao’er very well. If it were an ordinary herb, Yao Bao’er’s attitude would definitely not be so hostile.
Could this herb be a treasure?
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian signaled Taishan and the others to rest on the spot and wait for Yao Bao’er.
After about half an hour, Yao Bao’er finally breathed a sigh of relief and dug out the entire herb. She then wiped the sweat from her forehead and returned to Ye Cangtian’s side.
Looking at the excited smile on Yao Bao’er’s face, Ye Cangtian couldn’t help but ask, “Quickly share with us, what treasure is it?”
“Hehe, Boss understands me best!”
Yao Bao’er chuckled and then said, “According to ancient texts, this herb is called Purple Leaf Blood Flower Fruit. It is said that it can only grow in places where the blood of ancient divine beasts has been shed, and it is extremely rare!”
Stop! Stop!
Seeing that Yao Bao’er was about to launch into a long explanation, Ye Cangtian quickly raised his hand to stop her and said, “We don’t understand if you say too much. You should tell us its effect.”
“It’s really playing the lute to a cow!”
Yao Bao’er glared at Ye Cangtian before introducing it unhappily.
The Purple Leaf Blood Flower Fruit has extremely powerful effects and can be used to refine many elixirs.
Its red petals have strong vitality, and its purplish-black leaves have strong medicinal properties.
The most miraculous thing is its purplish-green fruits. Even if taken directly, they can increase one’s mental power by a notch. If refined into elixirs, the effect will surely double.
Most importantly, this Purple Leaf Blood Flower Fruit is incredibly old.
The black outlines on the leaves have reached ten circles, and each circle represents a thousand years. Thus, this is a Purple Leaf Blood Flower Fruit of over ten thousand years!
What!
Hearing Yao Bao’er’s explanation, everyone, including Ye Cangtian, widened their eyes.
Who would have thought that such a 30-40 cm herb could have such a powerful effect and be a ten-thousand-year-old herb!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian couldn’t help but mutter, “You know, the people who passed by here before were really blind!”
“Boss, you are absolutely right about this!”
Yao Bao’er nodded heavily and said, “For a heavenly treasure like this, there must be fierce beasts guarding the area. The surrounding battle traces can explain everything!
However, those people only knew how to deal with fierce beasts and did not notice this herb. It’s not wrong to say they were blind!”
Hearing Yao Bao’er’s words, Ye Cangtian fell silent for a moment, then said, “Bao’er, let me ask you a question.
You said that the purplish-green fruit can increase mental power after consumption. If one consumes it and then consumes the elixir refined from it, will the medicinal effect be reduced?”
Although Ye Cangtian didn’t understand herbs, he knew that the medicinal effect of many elixirs was strongest the first time they were taken. After taking them again, the medicinal effect would be greatly reduced.
In this situation, being able to increase everyone’s mental power would also increase their self-preservation ability.
However, he did not want the effect of the elixirs to be affected if everyone consumed the fruit in the future, so he asked first.
