Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from afar, the faint sound of water splashing against rocks.
While walking through the forest, intently observing the Jiang Liu, he paused, then thought he should take a bath first.
Heading in the direction of the sound of water, we emerged from the forest and immediately heard a deafening roar!
Several hundred meters away, a waterfall over a hundred meters high cascades down the opposite cliff, splashing water and creating a misty white spectacle, like a fairyland.
Jiang Liu was about to walk towards the pool when suddenly a Rank 7 Ironhorn Rhinoceros, charged straight at Jiang Liu.
"Damn it, "Jiang Liu cursed inwardly. "Even taking a shower is so difficult."
He quickly drew his Treasure Blade to meet the attack! He didn't even need to make any moves; with the Iron Horned Rhinoceros's pathetic movements, all he had to do was grip the sword firmly with both hands and keep his feet firmly on the ground, and wait.
Sure enough, the Iron-Horned Rhinoceros lowered its head and charged straight at Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu stretched out his knife, and in a short while, with the Iron-Horned Rhinoceros's efforts, it split itself in two.
Jiang Liu casually picked up the blue Seventh Grade Exotic Beast core and was about to jump into the pool for a bath.
Suddenly, the ground shook. Was it an earthquake?
Turning my head, I saw a herd of iron-horned rhinoceroses charging straight towards me from not far away, knocking the trees over and smashing them open to make way!
Now even bulls have outposts? Everything's become sentient!
Jiang Liu uttered a phrase about national essence, and immediately used the Wind Walk to escape. Flying was out of the question. All those Iron-Horned Rhinoceroses could fly, and if any of them were of the eighth rank, Jiang Liu would be committing suicide if he flew up.
Jiang Liu fled downstream along the river, and after three or four miles, the iron-horned rhinoceros stopped chasing him and leisurely drank water by the river.
Jiang Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.
Only then did I have the leisure to admire the scenery along the way, when suddenly my eyes narrowed—two people were "fighting" on the other side of the river?
Is this how people hone their skills nowadays? So open? Then he thought, "If I hadn't happened to be here, I wouldn't have seen such beautiful 'scenery'!"
Jiang Liu had no time to care about them. With a flash and a leap, he reached the riverside woods and sped forward, needing to kill a few Exotic Beast to calm his nerves.
After advancing for more than ten miles, Jiang Liu suddenly heard the sound of fighting. He quickly held his breath and quietly approached.
There, two young men with the strength of Rank 6 Martial Practitioner were fighting. The one on the left was dressed in white, tall and slender, with long hair flowing in the wind. Jiang Liu wanted to punch him because of his appearance.
It's not a beauty pageant, what's the point of being so handsome?
The one on the right is wearing a blue outfit (what a hobby!), has a muscular build, looks explosive, and has no hair. He has an honest-looking face, but doesn't look like a good person.
Jiang Liu sat atop a dense tree, chin in hand, watching the two fight below with great interest, secretly commenting to himself: If Xiao Bai's sword were a little faster, he could probably hurt Xiao Guang.
That Xiao Guang is indeed a cunning fellow; he dodged a sword strike and then delivered a groin kick.
"Bai Feiyu, are you sure you want to keep trying to take this Celestial Star Grass from me?" the bald man said.
"What a joke, Feng Yi! Others may be afraid of you, but the Feng Family doesn't have that much influence over me!" Bai Feiyu said.
"Fine, since you won't back down, then let's settle this once and for all!" Feng Yi said fiercely.
Bai Feiyu didn't answer, but instead thrust his sword straight at Feng Yi's bald head, his gesture full of provocation.
Because Feng Yi wasn't born bald, but rather had an illness, he was very sensitive about people talking about his hair. Later, this even extended to him being extremely angry at anyone who dared to attack his scalp.
Feng Yi was instantly enraged. He roared, pushed off the ground with both feet, leaped into the air, and wielded his sword with both hands, slashing furiously at Bai Yu.
Suddenly, not only were there sounds of fighting, but also Feng Yi's angry roar.
This is quite a spectacle, but where is what they stole?
Jiang Liu strained his eyes to look around.
There stretched out a vast swampy wetland, and in the center of it grew a small patch of weeds. However, these weeds had speckled markings on their leaves. Could this be the Celestial Star Grass?
Jiang Liu thought to himself, "This Celestial Star Grass isn't listed in the 'Hundred Herbal Remedies.' It seems the records are incomplete. I don't know its effects, but judging from how eagerly they're fighting over it, it must be something good."
Seeing that they were still fighting hard, Jiang Liu became impatient. He released his Yuan Qi pressure, put his hands behind his back, and used the Eight Steps of Trampling. He took two steps in a row, and Bai Feiyu Feng Yi collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Liu looked at them and said, "I have something to ask you first. You can continue after you've finished."
Feng Yi was still glaring angrily at Bai Feiyu, but Bai Feiyu ignored him completely and looked at Jiang Liu with shining eyes.
Jiang Liu looked at them and said, "Do you know what the Celestial Star Grass is used for?"
After waiting a while and seeing that they still didn't speak, Jiang Liu withdrew his imposing aura and said expressionlessly, "Speak!"
Feng Yi was still sitting there catching his breath, while Bai Feiyu quickly stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Friend, I am Bai Feiyu from the Bai Family of Rain Prefecture. And you are, friend?"
"I'm asking you about that Celestial Star Grass, stop trying to get close to me!" Jiang Liu said, his brows slightly furrowed.
Bai Feiyu's expression froze for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Feng Yi quickly jumped up and said, "I know, I know."
"The Celestial Star Grass grows in swampy areas, constantly absorbing the essence of water and enduring prolonged exposure to the scorching sun, while at night it absorbs the essence of the moon. It is named Celestial Star Grass because of the star-like spots that appear on its leaves."
"The Physician Pavilion is currently buying up Celestial Star Grass. If anyone finds it and sells it to the Physician Pavilion, we'll refine a Primal Return Pill for them free of charge."
Primal Return Pill? This is one of the main pills that helps Rank 9 Martial Practitioner to gather their vital energy and advance to the Minor Grandmaster level! The Physician Pavilion is being so generous; it seems this Celestial Star Grass has a great use.
