Chapter 42: Meeting Again
Chapter 42: Meeting Again
Moving swiftly, he took out many delicate jade jars from the storage ring hanging around his neck before taking out a small jade shovel.
Circulating his Dou Qi, the next instant Xiao Ming was standing in the meter-wide open space.
Looking at the medicinal herbs in front of him, he bent down and carefully dug up the soil next to the green plant, and finally, together with the soil, he carefully inserted it into one of the jade jars.
Seeing that the green plant left in the jade bottle showed no obvious difference, Xiao Ming let out a sigh of relief with a happy expression on his face.
Many medicinal herbs required special transplanting techniques, and if those special techniques were not used, those herbs would probably die automatically the moment they were transplanted.
Although the effect on the medicinal properties would not be great if they were properly preserved after death, Xiao Ming wanted a living herb more than anything else.
Since the herb survived, he might try to obtain the seeds of this prized medicinal herb and see if he could try to grow a seedling.
Even if he did not grow it himself, the seeds of these precious medicinal herbs were very marketable in the Dou Qi continent.
Moreover, a living medicinal herb will continue to grow, and when the time came when it would be used, the medicinal properties of the herb would definitely be a few points stronger compared to now.
Therefore, the fact that this herb could be transplanted using ordinary techniques was also considered an unexpected pleasure.
After hurriedly placing the jade vial containing the medicinal herb in its fire-red intermediate storage ring, Xiao Ming turned his attention to the other medicinal herbs.
Ice Spirit Blazing Grass...
Ice Spirit Leaf...
Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit...
......
Xiao Ming was very busy, each medicinal material was dug up, placed in a jade jar and then placed in the storage ring.
Just when he had successfully collected most of the medicinal herbs from the flowerbed.
Noises that Xiao Ming found very familiar came from the dense forest outside the small field.
"Damn, what kind of shitty place is this, after walking for half a day, apart from some corpses and giant trees seen everywhere, not a single ghostly shadow has been seen!"
"Hmph, when we found that pavilion just now, I told them that we should have participated in the fight and grabbed the treasures, you guys had to run. Heh."
"What an idiot, didn't you see that building was about to be torn apart? That energy fluctuation, at least several Dou Spirit powerhouses are fighting, don't talk about taking the treasures, it would be good to still be alive after going in."
"Old Ma is right, many people were already fighting there, even if there were several intermediate level Xuan Dou Technique, it's not worth the risk for us."
"So what if they are Dou Spirit? It's a risk to get rich, you guys are so afraid of death, get out of this secret realm before it's too late and don't think about stealing treasures!"
"Brat, do you want to die?"
"Young man, you really don't know how high the sky is."
"What, you want to fight a round or two with me?"
"Brother, there seems to be a small field up ahead."
The voices that had sounded like they were about to fight were suddenly silenced.
Being replaced by the sound of anxious footsteps.
Several figures came out of the forest and stood outside the fence where Xiao Ming used to be.
There were seven people standing outside the fence: two men in black, a young man with white hair, two large men, a boy and a woman in green.
One of the men in black looked at the small field in front of him and said, "I didn't think there was really a small field, I told you guys not to fight over those pavilions, I was right."
"Hahahahaha, Old Ma was right, there must be some kind of treasure here." The other man in black agreed.
"Big brother, this place seems to be just an ordinary farm, there doesn't seem to be any good things." One of the two big men, who seemed to be a little brother, said quietly to the other big man after overhearing their conversation.
When he heard his little brother say that, the big brother-looking man turned his head enough to look at him.
'Was this kid really stupid or was he just pretending to be stupid? Where in a secret realm like this would ordinary farmers' fields exist?'
'With such power and having a secret realm would they depend on farming to make a living?'
Thinking like this.
The big man turned his head away, not bothering to pay attention to his own little brother.
The younger brother was perplexed at the look on his older brother's face.
He rubbed the tip of his nose resentfully and then looked around.
Suddenly, he exclaimed as if he had found something.
"Big brother, there's a man in the corner of the field!"
What?
The others turned their heads in surprise and looked in the direction where his finger was pointing.
The fence could not block their gaze at all.
Sure enough, they saw a man dressed in black who was removing grass from a flower bed.
Because this man was already short in stature, and because he was bending down to shovel the grass, and the sky in the secret realm had been very dark and gloomy, it caused them not to find him for a while.
"No, that man is harvesting medicinal herbs!" The woman in green had a sharp eye and noticed that the black-robed man was putting a flower and herb with the shovel into jade vases, and then those vases disappeared.
She immediately gave a cry of alarm when she realized what the man was doing and ran over the fence into the thicket.
The others were startled again and hurried after her, using their Dou Qi.
As they approached, Xiao Ming arrived just in time to put the last of the herbs in his storage ring.
Seeing their action, the woman in green roared, "Stop!".
A green whip shadow swung toward Xiao Ming's face.
With a slight sway of his body, Xiao Ming narrowly dodged the attack and retreated to the edge of the flower bed half a meter away, hands behind his back, looking indifferently at the woman who dared to attack him unceremoniously.
When the woman looked at Xiao Ming's strange posture, her pupils shrank and a hint of fear appeared on her face.
She did not attack again in a hasty manner.
The confrontation between the two had been completed in an instant, by which time the woman's accomplices had also caught up with her.
Several people scattered in an arc, forming a tight circle around Xiao Ming.
With the enemy in front of him and the house behind him, it seemed that Xiao Ming had no way to escape and the situation was dangerous.
But he was not frightened in the least, instead, he took a look at the opposing side's strength.
Two first star Dou Grandmaster, three ninth star Dou Master, one eighth star Dou Master and one fifth star Dou Master.
This alignment is trivial.
Xiao Ming was evaluating the opposite side, and the opposite side, naturally, was also evaluating him.
The elder brother among the big men, noticing that Xiao Ming was somewhat familiar, thought carefully and remembered where he had seen him before.
'Wasn't this the short, black-robed man behind him and the second closest to the jade area?'
That's right, this big man was the head of the group that had arrived in the Jade Zone even before Xiao Ming, the head of the skinny guy that Tie Wu had casually killed, and the other big man was one of his three younger brothers.
Xiao Ming also recognized them.
Before the others could say anything, this big man stepped forward.
Smiling at Xiao Ming, he said, "Oh, this brother, what a coincidence, we meet again, I am Xu Jian, I think we can be friends."
When his accomplices saw the big man do this, a strange smile appeared at the corner of their mouths, they did not say anything else, but merely followed the big man's footsteps and slowly approached Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming was silent, a little puzzled in his heart.
'What was this guy saying, making friends? I think you're doing it to sneak up on me, aren't you?'
While watching Xu Jian's performance in front of him, Xiao Ming moved his hands behind his back and the Spirit appeared in his hands.
He pressed the Spirit into the ground, and it silently sank into the ground.
Xiao Ming's action was so stealthy that no one noticed.
"Brother, just now you were looking for medicinal herbs, weren't you, I see there are more than thirty holes here where there were medicinal herbs, how about we just take thirty herbs and leave the rest to you?"
