But this tree was actually no different than the Void Star Flower’s own roots. Upon removing the Void Star Flower, the tree would slowly wither away.
In the Divine wilderness, there were all sorts of treasures that had the ability to hide and protect themselves, if not, they would easily be eaten by desolate beasts or picked by humans.
The Void Star Flower was a high-grade Yellow-ranked herb and could exchange for about three dragon scale runes.
“After going so far, all I’ve found is this high-grade Yellow-ranked Void Star Flower. If it’s the other cultivators from the Divine City, without the Purple Crystal, they can only find herbs by rummaging through grass and stones. Their efficiency at picking herbs will be much lower. To find a dozen Yellow-ranked herbs in a day would be quite amazing. If one was lucky, one or two Mystic-ranked herbs would be a great harvest.”
“Low-grade Yellow-ranked herbs can only be exchanged for two dragon scale runes. Mystic-ranked herbs can get a bit more, but it’s only around ten dragon scale runes. By this way of counting, a herb-picking cultivator can, at best, receive 40-50 dragon scale runes in a day!”
“But, by choosing the herb-picking job, there is a requirement of handing over at least 25 dragon scale runes of herbs a day. This was firstly a way for the Divine City to gain resources, and secondly, to prevent people from being lazing. Once 25 dragon scale runes were deducted, there will be even less!”
No wonder people were reluctant to pick herbs. This was indeed a lonely, boring and dead-end job.
After picking the Void Star Flower, he carried on. By choosing to particularly step on rubble and easy to slip gravel, Yi Yun kept testing his movement skills and his power control.
This naturally slowed down Yi Yun’s speed.
A typical herb-picking cultivator would begin searching for herbs upon reaching the herb mountain. They wouldn’t have the time to care about anything else. If they could not hand over 25 dragon scale runes, then their dragon scale runes would go in the negative.
Upon reaching negative dragon scale runes for two consecutive days, the Divine City would remove the free lodging privileges, causing one to sleep on the streets.
For a warrior, sleeping on the streets was nothing, and not really a punishment, but… it would be extremely shameful.
