Swoosh!
Pang Bai arrived beside Li Qian.
He looked at the Three-leaf Purple Spirit Ginseng protruding just over an inch and his face showed excitement.
"Great, its spirituality has been suppressed."
Saying this, he drew his sword and, with True Qi flowing, began to carve into the surrounding rock wall.
Debris flew in all directions.
That squeaking noise also started to rise in frequency.
"Senior Brother Pang, you need to hurry, this thing... is a bit hard to suppress."
Li Qian said.
The part of the Three-leaf Purple Spirit Ginseng that was exposed was slowly retracting.
Although it was slowing down.
"Alright."
Pang Bai saw it too. A sense of urgency filled his heart and he sped up immediately.
Soon, a hint of purple emerged from the soil in the crevice.
Pang Bai grew even more excited, giving up his sword and wrapping his palm in True Qi, he fiercely sliced into the crevice.
It wasn’t long before Pang Bai dug out the Three-leaf Purple Spirit Ginseng.
The Three-leaf Purple Spirit Ginseng looked like a long purple sweet potato.
However, it was covered with tentacle-like feet on its body.
As for the exposed stem and three leaves, they were actually extending from the tail end of the Spirit Ginseng.
"No wonder it’s called the Three-leaf Purple Spirit Ginseng; it really does resemble it..."
Li Qian exclaimed in amazement.
"Yes, such camouflage tactics are indeed strange."
Pang Bai said with a chuckle: "If not for Senior Brother Li’s Divine Sword suppressing its spirituality, capturing it would indeed be quite difficult."
Even under the suppression of the Divine Sword, the Three-leaf Purple Spirit Ginseng could still struggle, showing how difficult it was to capture.
Thankfully, they finally got their hands on the Three-leaf Purple Spirit Ginseng, and it was only a matter of time before the Life Gathering Pill could be refined.
"Junior Brother Li, although the Three-leaf Purple Spirit Ginseng is difficult to catch, once you get it... if you put it in a cloth bag, it won’t be able to escape."
Pang Bai said, taking out a cloth bag and placing the Three-leaf Purple Spirit Ginseng into it.
....
Li Qian and Pang Bai walked out from the deep mountains and forests; it was almost noon.
Suddenly, Li Qian raised his hand, signaling Pang Bai to stop.
Pang Bai was startled at first, but then heard the urgent sound of horse hooves growing louder from afar.
Pang Bai couldn’t help but glance at Li Qian.
Li Qian heard the noise a moment before him—could it be that he was stronger?
Did the Divine Sword have that much of an impact?
Gallop, gallop, gallop...
A dozen knights galloped towards them, then whizzed past.
Li Qian and Pang Bai did not look... If they were powerful martial artists, they would definitely sense the act of being watched.
This was the territory of the Xuanming Sect; the two did not wish to attract trouble.
After the sound of the horse hooves faded, they made their way onto the main road.
"We deviated from the place more than I thought."
Pang Bai took out a map and muttered to himself.
Thankfully, they weren’t far off, just a few miles away, and the two men continued down the main road.
Having walked less than two miles, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind them again.
Li Qian and Pang Bai quickly stepped to the side of the road.
Soon, a few more riders galloped towards them.
These few riders just glanced at the two pedestrians as they sped past, kicking up dust that made Pang Bai wave his hands continuously.
"Junior Brother Li, those seem to be people from the Xuanming Sect."
Pang Bai communicated with a transmission, "Hmph, these damned mutts, no idea what they’re up to, making such a big fuss..."
He had no fondness for the Xuanming Sect.
Upon reaching the town where they stored their horses, Li Qian and Pang Bai saw many fast horses tied outside an inn, clearly those ridden by the Xuanming Sect martial artists they had encountered before.
"Junior Brother Li, let’s go into the inn and take a look."
Pang Bai’s eyes sparkled as he communicated back.
"Senior Brother Pang, we should just leave directly, we can’t let anything happen to the Three-leaf Purple Spirit Ginseng."
Li Qian, realizing Pang Bai’s intent, slightly furrowed his brows.
"Senior Brother Li, don’t worry, we are just going to eat something. We’ve been out for a while, aren’t you hungry?"
Pang Bai said smilingly.
"Then you go eat by yourself, I’m definitely not hungry..."
Li Qian shook his head.
