93: You want to go it alone?

After Lin Yiyi left, Xu Wei began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.

Huilong Mountain is vast and hides many Yao Beast, so collecting Spirit Medicine is not a simple task.

Before coming here, the Pill Dao Hall issued a collection list to everyone.

Any Spirit Medicine on the list needs to be collected.

Furthermore, before departing, the Pill Dao Hall signed an agreement with everyone.

The Spirit Medicine obtained at Huilong Mountain...

The portion specified on the list belongs to the Alchemy Hall.

Of course, the agreement also stipulates the collection amount.

When the collection amount reaches a certain level, the entrusted task is considered complete, and the remaining merit points can be obtained.

Any amount exceeding the collection quota can be freely distributed by the collector.

Likewise, if the collection amount falls significantly short of the amount stipulated in the agreement, a certain amount of merit points will be deducted.

Of course, Spirit Medicine not on the list can also be freely disposed of by the collector; they can use it to offset the collection quota or take it back to process themselves.

However, the list basically enumerates all common Spirit Medicine in the outer perimeter of Huilong Mountain.

"Everyone, do not wander off; just collect in the outer perimeter. The depths of Huilong Mountain are quite dangerous, and Foundation Establishment Realm Yao Beast often appear there."

Xu Wei's loud voice rang out.

"Of course, you can also follow the main group; after all, there is strength in numbers, and you can appropriately explore deeper into Huilong Mountain."

These words were mainly directed at Mo Fan and the other "outsiders."

And the so-called main group was their own team from the Pill Dao Hall, which could be considered the main force, so naturally, they would not be satisfied with the outer perimeter.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Wei reminded them again:

"Just consider it carefully for yourselves. Acting alone might be a bit dangerous, but as long as you don't seek death by going deep into Huilong Mountain, it is basically safe."

"Furthermore, acting alone is relatively free. If you are lucky, you might obtain more Spirit Medicine and perhaps even exchange them for extra merit points."

"Either way is fine; you just need to return here before 4:00 PM on the 15th."

"Without further ado, everyone, let's move out."

Focusing his attention, Xu Wei waved his hand, signaling that everyone could move out.

Most people chose to join the group.

Only two people chose to act alone.

Mo Fan was one of those two people.

Seeing Mo Fan heading into the forest alone, Xu Wei hurriedly grabbed him.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Mo Fan was stunned, then scratched his head awkwardly: "I almost forgot, I still need to guide you in practicing the Vajra Fist."

After all, having accepted the money, he still had to be professional and see things through to the end.

Xu Wei was stunned and hurriedly shook his head, saying:

"That's not what I meant. I have given up on the Vajra Fist. After listening to your explanation on the way here, I have already realized something."

"My talent is indeed insufficient; no matter how hard I try, I cannot learn the Vajra Fist."

"Therefore, for the time being, I don't need your guidance anymore, because it's meaningless."

Hearing this, Mo Fan took two steps back without changing his expression.

This guy, he doesn't want a refund, does he?

That can't be refunded, it's already been spent!

Xu Wei did not notice Mo Fan's unusual behavior and continued:

"Although I didn't learn the Vajra Fist, by comparing and referencing it, my own main fist technique has also improved."

"Once I digest the insights from before, my strength should increase significantly. This Spirit Stone was worth spending!"

By the end, Xu Wei was somewhat excited, his face full of excitement.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he doesn't ask for the Spirit Stone back, then we are still good brothers!

"Since you don't need my guidance anymore, why are you still holding onto me?" Mo Fan looked at Xu Wei.

He really didn't want to join the group, after all, he had his own little secrets.

"Brother, don't seek death. Acting alone is very dangerous. You should just stay by my side!" Xu Wei held onto Mo Fan's arm and wouldn't let go.

Hearing this, Mo Fan suddenly understood.

He pulled his arm free from Xu Wei's grip and smiled, saying:

"It's fine, I'll just take a look around the outer perimeter and won't take any risks. It's mainly because I want to wander around; after all, it's my first time out, and everything feels novel."

Seeing Mo Fan's persistence, Xu Wei couldn't say anything more and had to say:

"Then take care of your own safety. Don't run into the depths of the forest. Remember to come back on time in fifteen days."

"Alright, see you in fifteen days!"

Mo Fan dived into the forest without looking back.

"See you in fifteen days!" Xu Wei waved vigorously at Mo Fan's back.

...

Huilong Mountain has an elevation of over three thousand meters and covers an area of nearly two thousand square kilometers. It is lush and green, with mountain winds blowing, rising and falling like a sea of forest.

The Spirit Medicine marked on the list are all varieties that are difficult to cultivate artificially or have poor cultivation results.

The previous written examination was also centered around these Spirit Medicine.

Carrying the herb basket issued by the Pill Dao Hall, Mo Fan began searching in the forest.

The herb basket had been specially treated and had rune markings carved onto it.

Placing the collected Spirit Medicine and spirit fruit inside not only keeps them fresh but also prevents spiritual energy from dissipating and attracting the attention of Yao Beast.

Mo Fan carefully looked at the list.

He discovered that the so-called collection amount is calculated based on points.

Different Spirit Medicine have different values, so the points are naturally different as well.

After finishing the list, Mo Fan summarized the most valuable types of Spirit Medicine.

1. midnight star.

The midnight star is quite magical; it generally grows in small tufts and only blooms at midnight.

When it blooms, the midnight star emits a rosy glow, like shining stars, and gives off an alluring fragrance and a certain amount of spiritual energy fluctuations.

When the midnight star is not blooming, it looks exactly like ordinary weeds and is very difficult to distinguish.

However, when it blooms, it will attract nearby Yao Beast.

To harvest it, one clearly needs to take a relatively large risk.

2. black blood grass.

The black blood grass is crimson all over, resembles wheat in appearance, and produces ears when mature.

Its fruit is the main Materials for refining Qi and Blood Pills; it is relatively rare, very difficult to find in Huilong Mountain, and equally precious.

3. Purple Gold Fruit.

The Purple Gold Fruit has a purple skin, golden flesh when cut open, resembles a dragon fruit in appearance, and tastes very good.

The Purple Gold Fruit is also very rare; finding one or two after wandering through all of Huilong Mountain would be considered lucky.

These three types of Spirit Medicine are the most valuable; one plant is worth more than a dozen or even dozens of ordinary Spirit Medicine.

As for ordinary Spirit Medicine, they include: Earth spirit fruit, Red Snake Grass, Three-Leaf Vine, etc.

They are all low-grade Spirit Medicine, all at the first or second grade level.

After analyzing the list, Mo Fan headed straight into the depths of Huilong Mountain.

The outer perimeter is indeed safe.

But safety also means that the Spirit Medicine has already been mostly collected by others, making it somewhat difficult to obtain good Spirit Medicine.

And Mo Fan was naturally not satisfied with the merit points given for the task.

Since he finally managed to come out, he naturally had to collect more Spirit Medicine and earn more Spirit Stone.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss?

As for safety?

Mo Fan felt that if he used the Golden Body Art, he could even withstand a Foundation Establishment Realm Yao Beast.

For him, going a little deeper into the forest wasn't too dangerous.

Moreover, he still wanted to try and see if he could find the seven star vine and kongming grass that Li Xinghe wanted.

Both of these are fourth-grade Spirit Medicine and are very valuable; if he could find them, he could probably exchange them for a lot of Spirit Stone from Li Xinghe.
