2330: Private Territory

Private Territory

Jian Fengchi pointed in another direction. "Thousand Wind Seeds and Mantuo are usually associated with each other. They grow in moist and cold places. I've been to this medicinal mountain a few times—I can't be wrong."

Xiao Ba said, "I didn't say that you were mistaken, but didn't you say that there wasn't one over there previously?! Let's go somewhere else to take a look. Maybe there will be one?"

Jian Fengchi said helplessly, "I've already asked the entire medicinal mountain. There's only one place with it—it's over there. There's no other place."

Xiao Ba suddenly became stubborn. "But… how will we know if we don't take a look?"

Unable to dissuade her, Jian Fengchi could only say, "Alright, let's go over there and take a look then."

Xiao Ba nodded and headed in a certain direction without hesitation.

Jian Fengchi frowned slightly. Looking at Xiao Ba's back, a strange feeling surged in his heart. Why do I feel that Xiao Ba doesn't seem to be nonchalant? She casually and indifferently found a direction, but has she already made up her mind to go there?

This thought quickly flashed past but was suppressed by Jian Fengchi.

He moved his feet and followed.

…

The medicinal mountain stretched for hundreds of miles. It was a vast area with continuous mountain ranges.

There were all kinds of natural treasures.

If one wasn't careful, they would lose their way, but Xiao Ba seemed to be very familiar with this place. She turned left and right without stopping at all.

After walking for a while, Jian Fengchi finally couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ba, how many times have you been here before? Are you so familiar with this place?"

Xiao Ba thought for a moment before saying, "Not many times, but the terrain here is simple. You can remember it at a glance. What's so strange about that?"

Jian Fengchi was speechless. Looking at Xiao Ba's calm expression, he wondered for a moment if his brain wasn't good enough.

That wasn't right either! He was a heavenly doctor!

He could basically remember so many extremely complicated prescriptions after reading them a few times, so his memory was definitely top-notch. But after coming to this medicinal mountain several times, he still often felt a little confused.

What was wrong with Xiao Ba?

After thinking for a while, Jian Fengchi felt that there was only one possibility: Xiao Ba's talent was indeed a little better than his.

No matter what, she was a Supreme Physician now. It wasn't surprising that she was better than him in this aspect.

At the thought of this, Jian Fengchi felt much better.

"We're here! It's just ahead!" Xiao Ba suddenly spoke.

Jian Fengchi followed her gaze and saw a rather small and ordinary hill behind a steep and tall mountain.

The mountain was lush, and there were many herbs growing. However, Jian Fengchi took a closer look and didn't see any Thousand Wind Seeds nor Mantuo.

"This place… doesn't have it, right?" he said uncertainly.

Xiao Ba didn't speak. In a flash, she arrived at the foot of the small mountain.

A small stream spread past with clear and bottomless water. On both sides were clusters of lush-green wind chime grass that were half the height of a person.

Xiao Ba's figure was light as she jumped over a few stones in the stream. When she came to the other side, she reached out and pushed away a tuft of wind chime grass. "See, isn't this it?"

Jian Fengchi was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly rushed over.

He leaned over to take a look. Indeed, there was a string of Thousand Wind Seed growing under the wind chime grass.

The Thousand Wind Seed had no leaves. On one of the roots, round seedlings grew in a disorderly manner.

When the wind blew, this heavy string swayed with the wind. A few seeds were blown off and scattered in the stream, flowing down with the water.

As the Thousand Wind Seed was a faint green color, it was really hidden in the wind chime grass. Therefore, Jian Fengchi didn't see it at the beginning.

And at the root of the seed, there were thin purple vines wrapped around it—it was Mantuo.

"There really is one!?" Jian Fengchi was really shocked.

Most importantly, this Thousand Wind Seed and Mantuo looked to be at least 500 years old!

However, he had asked many people previously. Everyone said that there were no longer any Thousand Wind Seeds and Mantuo of this age in the medicinal mountain…

"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Ba raised her chin, indicating that he could take the things away.

Jian Fengchi came back to his senses and took a few.

Looking at the easy herbs in his hand, Jian Fengchi couldn't help but look at Xiao Ba again with a strange gaze. "Xiao Ba, this place is so hidden. How did you know?"

"I—" Xiao Ba opened her mouth, but the words were stuck in her throat. "I knew it from the beginning."

Her words were a little ambiguous, but Jian Fengchi didn't hear it. He only thought that she had been here before. After all, with her personality, she could really do such a thing.

"But it's so quiet here." Jian Fengchi didn't probe further and looked around.

Apart from the two of them, there was no one else here.

Ever since the medicinal mountain was completely opened, everyone was free to go in and out. Basically, they went everywhere.

Basically, there would be people stepping into various places in the medicine mountain. However, this place was deserted as if no one had ever been here.

Xiao Ba shrugged. "Who cares? Anyway, I've found it. Just take it."

"Impudent!" An angry voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Jian Fengchi immediately turned around and saw Shu Jing standing in the air not far away, looking down at the two of them.

Her carefully drawn eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with unconcealed anger.

Jian Fengchi elbowed Xiao Ba. "Hey, hey, the person you're looking for is here."

Of course, Xiao Ba had already recognized Shu Jing's voice. Her red lips curled up into a perfect smile as she slowly turned around. "Eighth Deity, what a coincidence."

Her voice was still delicate and soft. Those who didn't know better would think that she was greeting a good friend she hadn't seen for a long time.

However, this sound was especially ear-piercing to Shu Jing.

Her face was cold. "You're really getting bolder and bolder. You actually dare to barge in here. Do you know what this place is?!"

Xiao Ba said honestly, "I know. Isn't this the medicinal mountain? Didn't it just open not long ago? What, are you not letting me come now?"

Shu Jing was so angry that her entire body was trembling. "This is the deity's private place. How can you enter as you wish!?"

Xiao Ba and Jian Fengchi immediately understood. "So it's your area. I'm sorry—we really didn't know."

Shu Jing was in charge of the medicinal mountain and spent most of her time here. Even the other deities didn't set foot here much.

However, she didn't expect these two people to come over just like that after going to Fantasy Divine Hall and returning a little later!1

"You want to be forgiven just because you don't know?" Shu Jing was so angry that she laughed.

Xiao Ba shrugged. "Eighth Deity, you said this is your territory, but you didn't even leave a logo. Who knows?"

Shu Jing reprimanded coldly. "Who wouldn't know! The barrier outside—"
