Chapter 197: Yi Yun’s Reason
“To be able to pick this herb, it was really the luck of this junior. It was like this…” Yi Yun stretched out his words. He made sure that there was nothing left out in the story he had fabricated.
“In the past few days, this junior had been diligently picking herbs in the #60 herb mountain. Late last night, this junior was near the peak of a mountain. I saw a flash of lightning a few hundred miles away. It seemed like it was raining over there.”
“But… the lightning that occurs when it rains is usually bluish purple. But this lightning was blood-red in color. But because it was too far, I couldn’t see it well. Even so, I felt that I was not mistaken.”
“From young, I have an inexplicable sense and intuition for strange phenomena. I found this lightning strange, as if something abnormal was happening. As such, I rushed over there to investigate.”
“I ran at my top speed, but by the time I reached there, the lightning had stopped. From the soil and plants, I saw obvious signs of lightning having struck the area.”
“I perceived the surroundings carefully and I found an unusual Yin-Yang Qi in the surroundings. I did not know what happened. I just recalled in some books that when treasures appear, it will create some phenomena. With this thought in mind, and seeing this phenomena, I felt that maybe this had something to do with a treasure!”
“Hence, I carefully searched the surroundings. I dug three feet in the ground and did not miss a single leaf. After that, I found this Blood Yang Flower…”
“It was deeply buried within, and it was already damaged. Its juices were mixed with mud, but even then, I could still recognize it.”
“I was overjoyed when I found the Heaven-ranked herb. I took out the jade box and I was thinking of sealing the Blood Yang Flower to prevent it from losing its herbal essence. But suddenly, I found that my surroundings had changed. It was like I had traveled through a space-time tunnel. I was suddenly in the middle of the Divine wilderness. There was thunder and lightning in the sky and there were a large numbers of desolate beasts charging at me from all directions!”
“I panicked and I took out my Thousand Army Saber to engage in battle. However, I felt something was amiss. How could the scenery suddenly change?”
“My perception has been different from others, even when I was younger. I quickly calmed down and perceived the surroundings. I suddenly felt that the beasts charging towards me did not exist. Everything was just an illusion.”
“I realized that something was trying to harm me! I could not find it, but I could guess that it was a magnificent existence.”
“At this time, I felt my head ache terribly. It was as if something had entered my head. I nearly went mad, but I suddenly realized that if I couldn’t endure through it, I was doomed. With all my might, I maintained the last bit of clarity within my mind and, with my Tai Cang Bow, shot out a desperate arrow.”
“This arrow had been specially modified by me. I had embedded the arrowhead with a Divine Hellion Bead, that I bought earlier, in it.”
“Divine Hellion Bead?” Upon hearing this, Wang suddenly interjected. Of course, she knew the weakness of the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng. This was too much of a coincidence. The arrow prepared Yi Yun had prepared earlier was the bane of the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng!
“Yes…” Yi Yun scratched his head with shame. “I heard that the Divine wilderness camp has a high death rate. As this junior is afraid of death, so with the first amount of dragon scale runes I earned, I exchanged them for something defensive. I did not expect it to be used so early on. I’m really lucky.”
Seeing Yi Yun with his boy-next-door look, and the continuous mention of the word ‘luck’, Wang could not stop her eyelids from twitching. The reason he bought the Divine Hellion Bead was because he was afraid to die…
As a mid-stage Purple Blood kid, you actually exchanged a Divine Hellion Bead for defense!
Absolutely… speechless!
What was more outrageous was that this Divine Hellion Bead had really come in handy. This luck was too ridiculous!
Yi Yun was not afraid of mentioning the Divine Hellion Bead. As for the lunar Yin array and the cicada array, he did not mention them.
Even Zhao Qingcheng did not know what items he had bought in the Ten Thousand Pagoda.
Even if people were to investigate it in the future, the Ten Thousand Pagoda was not like a cashier machine like in his previous life. It did not have any storage system, so who would know what was bought by who amongst those millions of items.
“And you actually shot this herb just like that?” Wang asked.
“That is how it was. Back then, my mind’s hint of clarity was like a tiny boat in the huge ocean. It could disappear at any time. I shot that arrow with all I got. As for the direction I shot, I followed my feelings. I did not know what I was shooting at. I just felt that if I didn’t shoot, I was likely to die.”
“Following that,
