Chapter 189: Lunar Yin Day
With the teleportation array’s white beams leading on, Yi Yun stepped through the teleportation array.
This herb mountain, labeled #60, was the herb mountain Yi Yun was sent to by the teleportation array. In the past 30 days, he had always been picking herbs in #60. It was considered the herb mountain designated to Yi Yun for the past and the following months.
Cultivators who choose to pick herbs would be randomly sent to a herb mountain and they would not change locations for several months. The benefit would be that they could remember the places they had already searched, removing the need to search again the next time.
If all the cultivators were to be randomly assigned new herb mountains every time, that would be the possibility that a spot one searched was a spot previously searched a few days ago by someone else.
Yi Yun, with his Flowing Mercury Gown, had combed through a large region of this #60 herb mountain.
Yi Yun was especially familiar with the region a hundred mile radius around the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng.
The moment he was sent through the teleportation array, Yi Yun traveled through the mountain by the familiar paths, slowly approaching the cliff the Blood Yang Flower was.
At this time, Yi Yun was about a few dozen miles from the cliff.
He was not in a hurry to scale the cliff and just carried on casually searching for herbs nearby.
He was also not practicing his movement skills. He had taken off the Flowing Mercury Gown. After wearing 200 tons for an extended period of time, by suddenly removing it, Yi Yun felt weightless and he was as light as a dove, it was as if he could leap into the clouds!
This was Yi Yun’s optimal state. With a large battle looming, Yi Yun did not want anything that could adversely affect his speed.
“Another one, a high-grade Yellow-ranked Deathroot. This is a kind of poisonous herb that can be made into a poison.” Yi Yun muttered to himself as he kept the Deathroot. The alchemists in the Tai Ah Divine City could not only create elixirs with beneficial effects, they could also create drugs with adverse effects, for example poisons, hallucinogens, or drugs with paralysis effects. There were all sorts of possibilities.
After the Deathroot, there was black fungus, blood coiled roots, purple heart grass…
Yi Yun picked herb after herb at a casual pace, as if he had forgotten about the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng.
After picking herbs for the entire day, the evening was approaching. Unknowingly, Yi Yun had already approached the cliff where the Blood Yang Flower was.
Yi Yun knew that the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng had long since discovered his presence. Primordial herbs were very alert. With Yi Yun’s methods, trying to secretly approach the primordial herb would simply be wishful thinking.
It was about two hours before midnight.
Yi Yun looked up into the sky. There was no moon and the night sky was as black as coal!
Yi Yun had came to #60 herb mountain early in the morning, but he deliberately dragged out time before arriving at this cliff. The reason was to wait for this opportunity.
It was the first day of the lunar month, the day of a “new moon”. Without the moon present, it was the lunar Yin day.
The lunar Yin day was the day with the most intense Yin Qi. Three-quarters of an hour past midnight was the time of the day with the densest Yin Qi.
Hence, Yi Yun had timed it to the moment when the Yin Qi was the densest throughout the month!
The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng liked Yang Qi and it swallowed herbs that were Pure Yang in nature.
The lunar Yin day at three-quarters of an hour past midnight was the moment when it was weakest.
Hence, Yi Yun chose this moment to attack!
Even so, Yi Yun had little confidence in hitting the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng with his Tai Cang Bow.
The Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng’s speed was terrifying and its reaction speed was extremely fast!
For the past few days, Yi Yun had spent a lot of effort in searching for information on the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng. Besides the “Divine Wilderness Anthology”, he had read all the information regarding it.
He was constantly comparing his archery skills with the abilities of the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng. His final conclusion was that, within thirty meters, even if his arrow exceeded the speed of sound, there was a high possibility the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng could still avoid it!
And the moment he failed in his attempt, he would not have the slightest chance to capture the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng in the future.
Hence, Yi Yun had to carefully take everything into consideration and he had to make all sorts of calculations.
“Let’s go for it! I’ll see if your tunneling skills are stronger or my arrow is faster!” Yi Yun told himself that and leaped up!
Cha!
With inaudible footsteps, Yi Yun set foot on the cliff’s rocks with a herb basket on his back.
He was a hundred times more nimble than a monkey and he easily scaled the cliff like he w
