Chapter 8 gained an advantage
After careful consideration, Zihao immediately followed the crowd.
I am also at a loss; it seems there is no way to pursue it any further now! I will take my leave..." Zihao smiled wryly, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace
The extraordinary flowers and herbs used for alchemy on the Divine Mysterious Continent are categorized into nine stages based on their age, with higher stages indicating older years. Correspondingly, the elixirs produced from them are of better quality. In addition to the classification by stages, these extraordinary flowers and herbs are also divided into four grades based on their rarity: Common, Rare, Superior, and Supreme
Early in the morning, Zihao heard a great commotion outside the treehouse
"Collecting herbs for elixirs?" Zi Hao murmured to himself. Soon, he recalled from the memories of his former master that every year, one month prior to the official selection of disciples at the Heavenly Gate, the sect would offer certain benefits to all disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage. These disciples could exchange their accumulated contributions to the sect for elixirs, which would aid them in their final month of intensive cultivation.
"Nonsense, of course, it's to gather herbs and exchange for elixirs..." That day, the disciple of Tianmen cast a glance at Zihou, and the expression seemed to convey that Zihou's question was quite foolish
Although he has already restored his martial speed to twice the normal rate, this young man is still far behind others. If he fails to pass the selection test for formal disciples this time, he will be expelled from the mountain. Having just arrived, he is not familiar with anything, and being expelled would mean the end of his journey. However, to meet the standards of becoming a formal disciple of the Heavenly Gate within a month, specifically reaching the ninth stage of the Foundation Establishment period, relying solely on double martial speed is insufficient. It seems he will also need to acquire some elixirs to assist in his cultivation. Zihao calculated that there is less than a month until the selection of formal disciples, yet he has just broken through to the second stage of the Foundation Establishment period. It appears that receiving beginner tasks also requires a certain level of strength, and if he continues at a normal cultivation pace, he will definitely be unable to reach the ninth stage of the Foundation Establishment period within a month.
Nevertheless, most disciples of the Heavenly Gate during the stage of building the foundation still choose to gather herbs in exchange for elixirs. Although this is quite risky and requires a bit of luck, it is also the fastest shortcut to enhance their strength
The cold white snow trailing behind certainly did not expect Zi Hao to stop. With no time to adjust her stance, just as she was about to collide with Zi Hao, she suddenly executed a graceful spin, resembling a startled swan in flight, and narrowly brushed past Zi Hao, avoiding the collision. However, at the same time, a tearing sound followed.
At this moment, one could see a piece of white fabric fluttering in the wind from the branch held by Zihao, exuding an enticing fragrance
You ... ... " Han Baixue immediately glared at Zihou, hurriedly crossing her arms over her chest, filled with shame and anger
After chasing for a while, Han Baixue realized that whenever she was about to catch up to Zihou, he would suddenly increase the distance between them, teasing her like a cat playing with a mouse. Observing Zihou's calm and indifferent expression, she felt a sense of humiliation she had never experienced before. As a young expert of her generation, this was undoubtedly her first failure, and her opponent was none other than the notoriously infamous waste of Tianmen.
After the disciple of the Heavenly Gate finished speaking, he continued towards the foot of the back mountain, fearing that he would be a step too late
In the blink of an eye, a night has passed
After shaking off the cold white snow, Zihao sneaked into the kitchen to steal some food, and then went to the back mountain, returning to the treehouse where the original owner lived. This original owner, having faced disdain and exclusion at the Heavenly Gate, directly built a treehouse on a century-old tree in the back mountain using bamboo, spending his days in the company of a group of monkeys from the back mountain
Upon entering the treehouse, Zihao discovered that although it was somewhat small, it was well-equipped and quite clean. After having a satisfying meal, he yawned, stretched lazily, and then fell asleep immediately.
Therefore, the elixirs produced are divided into nine stages, and based on the rarity of the herbs and materials used in their refinement, they are categorized into White Elixir, Green Elixir, Purple Elixir, and Golden Elixir. The White Elixir is the most common type, while the Golden Elixir is a unique and unparalleled elixir, with effects a hundred times greater than that of the White Elixir, but it is extremely difficult to refine. Generally speaking, in the Divine Mysterious Continent, the Purple Elixir is considered a top-tier elixir among all.
However, Han Baixue did not seem to intend to give up easily. Zi Hao also noticed this and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He casually broke off a branch from a small tree he passed by and then abruptly slammed on the brakes.
However, gathering medicinal herbs requires a stroke of luck; some individuals may not be able to find a single plant even after ten days or half a month. Moreover, there is a significant risk associated with herb gathering, as the likelihood of encountering ferocious beasts in the vicinity of these rare flowers and herbs is quite high. Every year, some disciples in the building stage lose their lives while foraging for herbs.
In a swift manner, two figures began to chase each other, one in front and the other behind. Due to their incredible speed, the onlooking disciples of Tianmen were unable to keep up, left only to watch helplessly as the two figures vanished from sight
"Early in the morning, it's so noisy, are you all rushing to be reborn?" Zihao cursed as he opened his eyes, turned over, and got out of bed. Then, he walked out of the tree house and saw many disciples of the Tianmen sect continuously heading towards the foot of the back mountain. It was quite strange, so he immediately jumped down from the tree house and casually grabbed a Tianmen disciple, asking, "Senior brother, what are you all going to do?"
However, if it is to complete daily tasks, one must perform tasks for ten days to half a month to exchange for one. But if it is for herb gathering, as long as one collects a single ordinary first-tier rare herb, one can exchange it for a first-tier auxiliary white elixir.
When Han Baixue came to her senses, she immediately noticed that the front of her garment had been torn, revealing the most alluring collarbone and the pink pouch encasing her ample bosom, exposing a breathtaking sight that was utterly captivating.
"Beautiful lady, you cannot catch me; it would be better to have another opportunity to spar!" Zihao did not wish to continue the entanglement, as he was well aware that he was no match for Han Baixue. The more they entangled, the more unfavorable the situation became for him. Currently, the disparity in strength between the two was essentially one in the heavens and the other in the depths. If it were not for his miraculous Shadow Step, he would have already embarrassed himself.
The method of accumulating contribution is mainly divided into two types. One relies on completing daily tasks such as chopping wood, boiling water, sweeping, and cleaning to accumulate contribution points; the more tasks completed, the higher the contribution. The other involves gathering rare herbs and flowers from the Hundred Medicine Peak for the purpose of refining elixirs; the higher the level of the gathered herbs and flowers, the greater the contribution earned.
This martial beast is a creature that has mutated from ordinary beasts under specific conditions, possessing formidable strength akin to that of martial artists, and is therefore referred to as a martial beast. This martial beast is ferocious and terrifying, exceptionally strong, and difficult to kill easily
The indignant Han Baixue stood in place, her cheeks flushed, adding a touch of allure to her appearance
