Chapter 596 The Battle for the Seven-Colored Grass
The two landed in a large mountain on the border of the Haisi Kingdom.
After descending the mountain, you will reach a city at its foot, which is also the gateway to the Haisi Kingdom.
The mountain is covered with lush, verdant trees.
There are many strange plants growing here, which can only be found in Haisi Kingdom, and Leng Yun has never seen them anywhere else.
This is precisely the principle that the environment shapes the people.
Leng Yun took a sniff of the fresh air and suddenly sensed that there must be precious medicinal herbs nearby on this mountain.
As an alchemist, one naturally cannot resist such temptation.
Since there was still plenty of time, he led the fairy towards the center of the mountain.
The fairy was in a good mood. She was naturally happy to be able to get rid of her siren constitution and returned to her carefree fairy self.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two felt the air around them becoming increasingly fresh, with a faint scent of herbs mixed in.
"Be careful. Any place with this kind of medicinal herb will attract magical beasts, and they might even be of high quality," Leng Yun warned.
The fairy nodded. In fact, with her Star Martial Realm power, she wasn't afraid of any high-level magical beasts.
As they were talking, the two heard a commotion.
It looks like there's a fight going on not far away.
Leng Yun's heart stirred. He knew that this mountain was rarely visited by people and full of dangers, so only a true master could possibly climb it.
In other words, it seems someone is going to compete with him for the precious medicinal herbs.
Thinking of this, he and Xiaoxian quickened their pace.
After a while, you can see a clearing in the woods.
In the center of the open space grew a small grass. The grass was gray, but it emitted a bluish light around it, making it look very illusory and enveloping the entire open space.
"This is the Seven-Colored Grass, a very rare medicinal herb," Leng Yun said excitedly.
Beside the seven-colored grass, a bear-like magical beast was engaged in a fierce battle with an old man.
The monster was entirely black, like steel, and stood as tall as a mountain. It was a Rank 5 monster, the Steel Bear.
The old man was dressed in a gray robe, and was so thin he was practically skin and bones; he looked like he could be easily defeated.
However, the old man's cultivation was not simple. He fought the Iron Bear for dozens of rounds without a clear winner.
Leng Yun snorted lightly; dealing with a Rank 5 magical beast was a piece of cake for him.
As he spoke, he moved swiftly and closed in on the black bear.
At the same time, he made a handprint shape in front of his chest.
"Pai Shan Yin!"
With a soft shout, the Mountain-Pushing Seal was unleashed, slamming solidly into the Iron Bear's body.
At such close range, the power of the Mountain-Piercing Seal is even greater.
Brown lights flashed around the battlefield.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, a black bear the size of a small mountain was sent flying by Leng Yun's palm strike, then crashed heavily to the ground.
The black bear was enormous, and it smashed a large crater in the ground, and the group could clearly feel the ground trembling.
When I looked again, the Iron Bear was dead, and had turned into Cold Cloud's experience points.
The old man was slightly surprised, then said to Leng Yun, "Young man, you are indeed very strong."
Leng Yun didn't waste any words: "I want that seven-colored grass."
The old man frowned, and with a slight movement, he subtly blocked Leng Yun's path.
"You want to stop me?" Leng Yun said calmly.
The move he just made clearly proved that he was much stronger than this old man.
The old man introduced himself, saying, "I am the Grand Elder of the Three Immortals Association of Longyang City, also known as Elder Long. I hope you will do me a favor for the sake of the Three Immortals Association."
"The Three Immortals Gathering?" Leng Yun sneered. "Never heard of it."
The old man's face turned somewhat ugly, and he continued, "I am a fifth-grade alchemist. I presume you, young brother, know what an alchemist does."
Elder Long wanted to use his identity as an alchemist to suppress Leng Yun, since few people on the Seven Heavens Continent were foolish enough to be willing to be enemies with an alchemist.
Leng Yun sneered: "A mere fifth-grade alchemist dares to be so insolent in front of me?"
Old Master Long's face grew even uglier: "Outrageous!"
After saying that, Elder Long suddenly made a move, and a white flame shot from his hand toward Leng Yun's face.
This Elder Long was a decisive man. Seeing that he couldn't persuade Leng Yun, he had no choice but to strike first for the sake of the Seven-Colored Grass.
Elder Long was incredibly fast; in the next second, he was already right next to Leng Yun.
Leng Yun remained completely calm, acting as if nothing had happened, with a cold smile still on her face.
Old Master Long thought he was about to succeed and seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, Elder Long felt a sharp pain in his chest. He hadn't expected Leng Yun to strike him first, and he had already landed a palm strike on him.
Elder Long was instantly sent flying, his body slicing through the air like a rag doll before crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Old Long got up from the ground and looked in surprise at the clover-shaped charred mark on his chest.
This shows that Leng Yun's control over the flames has reached a level of consummate skill.
Elder Long vaguely realized that the young man in front of him might also be a high-level alchemist.
Moreover, even if he wasn't an alchemist, the power Leng Yun had just displayed would have made killing him as easy as crushing an ant.
Thinking of this, Elder Long turned pale, realizing how ridiculous it was to want to compete with the other party for the Seven-Colored Grass.
"I was truly blind and offended you. Please forgive me, sir," Elder Long said respectfully.
This old man Long is quite a powerful figure, and he knows when to advance and when to retreat.
Leng Yun snorted and stepped forward to put the Seven-Colored Grass into the herb field in his system space.
Taking the opportunity, Elder Long asked, "May I ask, what is your name, sir?"
"Just call me Leng Yun, and this is my friend, Little Fairy," Leng Yun introduced.
Having obtained the Seven-Colored Grass, his attitude towards Elder Long softened considerably.
Elder Long couldn't help but glance at the little fairy a few more times, thinking to himself that the name was quite fitting.
"Lord Leng Yun, I wonder if you have time? Our Three Immortals Society is having a party tomorrow night, and we would be honored to have you join us," Elder Long said.
Seeing Long Lao's respectful demeanor, Leng Yun realized that he wasn't trying to lure her to the Three Immortals Gathering for revenge.
Even if that were the case, Leng Yun wouldn't be afraid.
He has just arrived in Haisi Kingdom and is not yet familiar with the situation there. He can learn more about it at the Three Immortals Gathering.
Thinking of this, Leng Yun readily agreed: "Okay, we'll go back tomorrow night."
Elder Long nodded, looking excited: "That would be best. However, I still have some things to do on this mountain, so I won't stay with you two any longer. See you tomorrow night."
