Jade Spiritual Cave is rather famous in the Paradise Realm because that place is covered with mid-level magic herbs. It's also one of the places with the most mid-level magic beasts. If they have no other destination, most people would also choose to go to the Jade Spiritual Cave.
However, the road to the Jade Spiritual Cave is rugged and dangerous. One would easily come across all sorts of magic beasts that travel in packs, such as the black crows they came across before. Although their strengths are weak, they are hard to deal with because of their numbers. Therefore, it seems to be impossible to reach the Jade Spiritual Cave without encountering some difficulty.
But it's not the same with a map. Relying on the map, one can effectively avoid the lairs of the magic beasts and find the fastest and most convenient way to reach the Jade Spiritual Cave.
However, because their map is incomplete, they would occasionally come across the habitats of magic beasts that live in packs. It's just that it's much less frequent than what others come across. They also don't have to face too much danger.
The one in charge of gathering the magic herbs and seeds is Ling Xiao. They are able to leave the place before alarming the magic beasts.
Of course all this is just what You XiaoMo thinks. Ling Xiao doesn't bring him in so he doesn't see it with his own eyes. If he were to see it, he probably wouldn't think like this anymore because judging by Ling Xiao's character, he is simply not someone that would move around stealthily and cautiously.
Furthermore, he is not a mage so he has no way of using his soul force like You XiaoMo to dig up the magic herbs. Therefore, he would simply dig up a small patch including the soil around the magic herbs, and then put it into his dimension. However, if the magic herb were to drop seeds, he would simply pick up the seeds.
Such obvious movements would obviously alarm the magic beasts. However, every time Ling Xiao walks in, he would simply release an intimidating pressure, frightening the magic beasts, causing them all to fall to the ground and shiver in fear. No need to talk about resisting.
But on the way, Da Piqiu attracts some trouble.
