Chapter 33 - Purple Ground Root

"Let's go to the nearest location." Ye Jingyi looked at the radar and said. The nearest location with spiritual fluctuation is around 80 meters away from their current position.

"Do we need to wait for Blacky? He has been out for some time." Hui Ying glanced around and said worriedly. 

"No need, We will come back after scouting the place and he should be fine." Ye Jingyi said but he still operated the radar to find the Black bear's location. 

After seeing his current location Ye Jingyi was surprised as on the radar his current location is near the place where they are going.

"What's he is going there?" Ye Jingyi said curiously, "Didn't he go to find water? So why is he gone so far?"

"Maybe your tool is broken?" Hui Ying heard him and said her guess.

Ye Jingyi hooked his head as he knew that radar is not broken, thus it only means that the location presented on the radar is correct.

"Anyway, let's go there. We can ask him the reason later." Ye Jingyi didn't think too much about the reason and said to Hui Ying.

"Okay then, Let's go." Hui Ying nodded and walked toward the location with Ye Jingyi.

After walking for 10 minutes both Ye Jin Yi and Hui Ying arrived near the black bear's location. They could have arrived faster but Hui Ying has just recovered from some injuries so she walks slowly.

Ye Jingyi glanced at the surroundings. Currently, they are in an open area where trees and bushes are scarce and the whole place is covered with knee-length grass.

"Where is the baldy?" Ye Jingyi looked around but he saw nothing. But according to the radar Black bear should be near them, Although he doesn't know his exact location as his radar only shows an approximate location.

"Let me see!" Hui Yung said this and then closed her eyes. After some recovery, she could finally use one of her abilities - Spiritual sense!

At her peak with this skill, she could sense everything within the range of 1 kilometer. Though because of the injury on her soul, the range for the skill is reduced significantly and now she could only sense something within the range of 50 meters and that's only for a limited time.

"Found him!" After one second Hui Ying opened her eyes and said, She had detected a black bear three meters away from them. At this moment he was laying on the ground and was hiding his body with grass thus they were unable to find him after arriving here.

Hui Ying brought Ye Jingyi to the place where the Black bear was squatting.

Ye Jingyi saw Balck bear lying on the and looking at the front with excitement and was speechless.

He walked near him and pulled the hair on his back and said angrily, "Baldy didn't you go out to find water? Why are you wasting time here?"

"Ah" The black bear was alarmed because of the sudden appearance of Ye Jingyi and Hui Ying as he hurriedly pulled them and hid them in the grass.

After doing this he once again looked at the front and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened blacky? Why are you acting so sneakily?" Hui Ying looked at his expression and asked curiously. Why is he looking at the front with such an expression? Just now after using Spiritual sense, she did not find anything unusual ahead.

Except for a basketball-sized hole, she remembered that there was nothing inside that hole.

"Shhh! Keep quiet!" Black Bear said anxiously and he continued in a low voice, "When I was looking for water I found a rabbit who was acting sneakily so I followed it here…."

Ye Jingyi and Hui Ying listened to him and understood the whole story. When Balck bear left the hiding spot to find water he encountered a rabbit who was acting suspiciously so out of curiosity he followed the rabbit till here.

He wanted to find his den hoping to find more rabbits for dinner. That's why he is squatting here as the rabbit has gone into the hole not far away from them.

After listening to the whole story both Ye Jingyi and Hui Ying were speechless.

"What guilt on! You have already got the meat of that ugly cat so why are you looking for more meat?" Ye Jingyi said with a speechless expression.

Hearing him Black bear rolled his eyes in disgust. 'It's because of that ugly shit that I am trying to hunt rabbit because I am not going to eat that stuff!'

"Hmm, Wait for a second!" Ye Jingyi said suddenly as he opened the radar once again and saw that they were not far away from the place which emits spiritual fluctuation.

He looked at the radar then at the hole not far away from him and his eyes lit up, "Is that the place?"

Ye Jingyi felt that only this place should have some spiritual fluctuation as they are in an open forest with no abnormal objects in front of them.

That only means that there is something inside the whole that emits fluctuation similar to spiritual energy.

Though he is not 100℅ sure ad radar could not pinpoint the exact location but it's worth a try.

"Baldy, What's the strength of that rabbit?" Thinking of this, Ye Jingyi felt itchy as he asked the Black bear.

"Strength? That rabbit does not have any cultivation base." The black bear said without any hesitation.

"That's it! Baldy goes and makes the hole bigger. Inside the hole, there is something that we need!" Ye Jingyi nodded and said with a smile.

"Eh? But why--" The Black bear asked in confusion but Ye Jingyi ignored him and said to Hui Ying.

"Hui Ying, can you use your so-called spiritual sense and see the situation inside the hole? I am currently low on energy so I can't find the situation." 

Previously he had consumed a huge chunk of energy to analyze spiritual energy. So if he has another option then he doesn't want to waste any more energy.

"Okay!" Hui Ying understood Ye Jingyi's intention, Inside the hold, there should be something that emits spiritual energy and Ye Jingyi had found the place with his Good-fortune art. So he needs her to use spiritual sense to find the situation inside the hole and see if there is any danger inside.

Hui Ying closed her eyes and tried to explore the situation below the ground. This time it took a little longer as she was trying to explore a specific area consciously which is much harder in her current condition.

After ten seconds Hui Ying's face was filled with sweat as veins appeared on her forehead but she finally opened her eyes and said joyfully, "I found it! There are three rabbits 5 meters below and there is a spiritual herb at that place!"

Hui Ying was very happy this time and at the same time, she was very shocked. Because there was a spiritual herb underground!

Although she couldn't feel the spiritual energy around it, she recognized the herb itself.

Purple ground root! A grade two spiritual herb! 

Spiritual herbs are divided into ten grades with grade one being the lowest and grade ten being the highest. 

Although the grade of the Purple Ground Root is low it's still very useful to her. Purple Ground Root is one of the auxiliary herbs which can be used to speed up the recovery rate of a cultivator.

If she can consume this herb then the time for healing can be greatly shortened! Which could increase their survival rate….

Thinking of this, Hui Ying looked at Ye Jingyi with a complicated gaze. This guy knows Good-Fortune art! 

Not only that he has knowledge about the pharmacist and could brew medicine by himself.

Is he raised by a ferocious beast? Hui Ying had this doubt as there is no way that a ferocious beast can teach him about healing, medicine brewing, and Good Fortune art. And there are weird artifacts too…

Is he hiding something? But it doesn't matter, after all, everyone has some secrets. Hui Ying didn't want to be nosy as she felt that if the right time comes then he would naturally tell her about this.

Ye Jingyi on the other hand doesn't know about Hui Ying's thoughts as he was relieved after hearing her. There is a spiritual herb inside.

"Baldy! You heard it, There is a spiritual herb inside and we need it so go all out!" Ye Jingyi said as small tentacles made from Nanoparticles emerged from his hands.

"Okay!" The black bear said with a serious expression as he knew that danger was looming over their heads.

Black Bear stood straight on the ground and raised both of his hands by 90 degrees.

Creak! Creak!

The muscles on his shoulder and arms twitched as the bones inside his body made a creaking sound. Black bear took a deep breath and said loudly

"Destructive Slash!"

Saying this he violently moved both of his paws toward the ground.

Boom!

There was a dull sound as a circular crack emerged on the ground, Black bear didn't stop here as he mobilized the strength of his whole body and inserted his hands inside the ground.

"Lift!" 

Saying this he lifted the cracked ground and threw it away.

Boom!
