Chapter 1: The Seven-Colored Dragon Boat, Azure Pearl...

  "She deliberately made me unable to see the second kind of medicinal herb that Ming Hao Shifu had transformed."

  Luobei immediately reacted, he had no idea why the beautiful girl was doing this, but at this time Minghao had already used the method of condensing air and drawing symbols to transform into the appearance of a third type of herb. Luobei didn't dare turn his head again to look at the girl, fearing that he would miss the next herb.

  "This is a Smilax fruit, take a good look." This time Ming Hao took out was a vine with leaves like iron wires, but with greenish-yellow fruits.

  "This is the Kandan tree...."

  "This is a tender shoot..."

  Lian Luo Bei had yet to see a second type of Cigu grass within, Ming Hao had condensed the phantasms of five kinds of rare plants.

  "Alright, your training for today is to head to Tian Zhu Peak and search for these five types of herbs."

  "Lin Hang, what does the second kind of Cockscomb look like?" Luo Bei's heart suddenly became anxious upon hearing this, and he turned his head to ask Lin Hang. But before he could even get the words out, Ming Hao spoke up again: "All of you listen carefully, we have something even more important to see next. Everyone get up and follow me outside."

  Ming Hao said and walked out of the hall, Luo Bei saw others standing up to follow him, so he could only quickly follow them out.

  "What's the hurry, taking two steps slower won't make you miss it." At the entrance of the grand hall, Luo Bei was careless and bumped into a young man. The young man was strong, and with just one bump, Luo Bei took a step back. The young man let out a cold hum, didn't even look at Luo Bei, and walked away. It was that same young man who had looked at Luo Bei with a cold gaze when they first met, the one with the high bun, jade-like face, and elegant features.

  Luobei was never a particularly competitive person, and after colliding with him, he heard that cold hum, Luobei didn't think much of it, following behind to walk out, and after standing still on the bluestone ground outside the main hall, Minghao who was standing in the empty space had already said: "If you can't remember what those few herbs look like, at most it's just that today's cultivation won't be completed, if you don't take a closer look at this, perhaps there will be concerns about your life."

  Ming Hao's voice was very serious, and the young men and women who followed him out of the hall were all startled. "Look!" Ming Hao flipped his left hand and threw out a fire-red talisman paper. As soon as it was thrown out, it instantly turned into a red light, rushing straight up to the sky and exploding in mid-air.

  "It's so beautiful!" The red light burst open and scattered dozens of rays, fire trees and silver flowers, very gorgeous. One of the two girls, a round-faced girl who was slightly older, couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

  "This is a flying flame token, but it's not for show." Ming Hao's gaze swept over the people of Luo Bei present, "The mountains and forests of Tian Zhu Peak are dense, with many snakes, insects, and beasts. Each of you will receive one flying flame token. If you encounter danger, use it to call for help."

  "Shu Mountain's training is indeed different from Luo Fu's, the instructors' care is very thorough, but this way some people will lose their brave and progressive heart." Luo Bei thought to himself, Ming Hao said again: "Among you, who is willing to come up and try out this flying flame symbol?"

  "Master Minghao, I'm here."

  "Mysterious and strange, good, then you come."

  "It turned out that his name was Xuan Wu Qi. I wonder what the name of the senior sister who just deliberately made me not see the second herb is." As soon as Ming Hao's voice fell, someone answered clearly on the side. Luo Bei saw that it was the cold and proud young man who had just bumped into him. However, at this moment, Luo Bei did not know that this cold and proud Xuan Wu Qi had already taken him as his opponent in mind. The reason why he answered so quickly was because he felt that when Ming Hao asked that question, his eyes fell on Luo Bei's body.

  "It's just a simple toss of the talisman, I can see it clearly, how could I not know? Moreover, practicing more now will ensure that when there really is danger, casting this flying flame talisman won't be done in a flurry."

  With this thought, the black-haired and jade-faced Xuan Wuqi glanced at Luo Bei with a hint of pride, then stood in front of Ming Hao and took over the scarlet talisman that Ming Hao handed to him.

  But what made him instantly stunned was that he heard Ming Hao say to everyone: "This flying flame talisman only needs to infuse a hint of Tao Yuan to release it, but you haven't cultivated the Taoist method yet, so you can only trigger it with your own qi and blood. Xuan Wuqi, just bite your fingertip, drip a little blood on the flying flame talisman, and then throw it out."

  "Ouch! It hurts so much... Will my hand become disfigured?" The round-faced girl was the first to cry out.

  "Mo Yanran, if you can't even bear this little bit of pain, then there's no need to cultivate!"

  Xuan Wuqi also felt that biting his fingertip wasn't a very comfortable thing to do, but under Ming Hao's scolding, he could only grit his teeth and bite the tip of his middle finger, dripping a drop of blood onto the crimson talisman.

  Fresh blood flashed and disappeared, Xuan Wuqi felt a heat in his hand, the vermilion talisman paper with spider web-like entwined symbols shone brightly red, he hastily threw it out, "Whoosh" sound, the flying flame talisman left his hand and transformed into a red light, rushing up to the sky and exploding.

  "Good, that's it, shouldn't be a problem anymore." Minghao clapped his hands in satisfaction and with a flick of his wrist, over a dozen crimson talismans shot out, each one floating in front of someone as if alive. "These Flame Talismans may not be rare treasures, but they do take time to refine. One per person, take care of them yourselves." Luo Bei had just reached out his hand when the crimson talisman hovering before him gently floated into his palm.

  It felt heavy in his hand, although it looked like just a piece of red-dyed paper with several intricate incantations scribbled on it, but instead of being light and airy, it had the weight of an iron sheet.

  As he carefully looked at the talisman in his hand, Luo Bei could also feel some faint fluctuations of magical power rippling within it.

  Luobei

  "Huh?" Just then, Luo Bei suddenly heard Ming Hao call out his name. He was somewhat surprised and looked up to see Ming Hao nodding slightly at him, saying "Today's cultivation will be in pairs going to the Tian Zhu Peak to gather herbs. You're the last one to arrive, so you can be considered the youngest junior brother. Let you choose a senior brother or sister to form a pair with."

  "Hmph!" Upon hearing Ming Hao say that, the extremely beautiful and elegant girl coldly snorted again in her heart, thinking that this arrogant Luo Bei might once again choose to take that stuttering and lame Cheng Hang with him just to show off his exceptional abilities. The Tian Yan Peak is located within the Shu Shan mountain gate, where except for the Shu Shan sect members, no one else can enter, and it's a desolate and barren landscape. With this lame burden, let's see if you can find all five of those herbs today.

  But what made the girl's eyes widen in incredulity was that Luo Bei stretched out his finger and pointed to himself, "Ming Hao Shifu, can I be in a group with this senior sister?"

  "Are you with Cao Zhu?" Ming Hao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Luo Bei, your eyes are not bad."

  Tianzhufeng is a towering peak that stands apart from Tianyufeng by dozens of mountains. The mountain body is rounded, shaped like a giant candle standing upright between heaven and earth, which is probably why it got the name Tianzhu Peak.

  This mountain peak, compared to the unnamed mountain peak in Luofu, covers a wider area. The entire mountain is lush and covered with dense forest, among which some trees are obviously very old, with trunks as thick as giant green umbrellas. On the middle of the mountain, there is an iron chain bridge as thick as an adult's arm, connecting to other surrounding mountains.

  "Why did you choose to be with me?" In the mountain forest beside the Tianzhu Peak's iron chain bridge, Cao Liu, that beautiful young girl with a stern face, stared at Luobei for a long time before finally asking this question.

  "Eldest Sister Cai Shu, when Master Ming Hao was teaching the Dao, you made those hand gestures to me, what did you want to say?"

  "You... you wouldn't be thinking of asking me what I want to say, and that's why you chose to be in a group with me, right?" Cai Li looked at Luo Bei in disbelief.

  "No." Luo Bei shook his head, looking embarrassed. "It's because I didn't see clearly the illusion of the Stabbing Thorn Grass that Ming Hao Shifu conjured up. I thought you must have seen it clearly, so I chose to be in a group with you."

  "I...". Cai Wu almost fainted, the pale blue robe underneath still hadn't fully developed but the delicate and transparent chest was heaving violently. "Then why didn't you choose Xian Hang? You're quite fond of being with him, aren't you afraid that if you don't help him, he won't be able to find all the herbs with someone else?"

  "It shouldn't be, Elder Jian Hang has been in Shu Mountain for several years, he might have already gone through such a cultivation. It should be found soon, his legs are inconvenient, I don't want him to find it and then help me find it."

  Luobei explained it this way, but in fact he had another reason that he didn't mention. He thought that Cai Li, who could see the hand movements of drawing talismans, seemed to have an extraordinary vision. Being with her might allow him to learn a lot. "You despicable guy, you must be intentionally taking revenge on me! You're really going to get me killed! How are we supposed to find the Stabbing Thorn Grass this time? Just wait and see how I'll make you suffer!" However, Luobei didn't think that Cai Li, who was furious at the moment, also hadn't seen the appearance of Minghao's Stabbing Thorn Grass. She had successfully teased Luobei and was feeling complacent, thinking that there was no rush and she could ask others about the appearance of the Stabbing Thorn Grass later. But unexpectedly, she ended up following Luobei in a group.

  But what made her even angrier, to the point of almost jumping up and biting Luo Bei, was that he asked her very seriously, "Zai Lu Shifu, what does the Cirsium grass look like?"

  "I don't know!" Suppressing the urge to hit someone, Cai Zhu glared fiercely at Luo Bei before turning around and walking into the mountain forest.

  "This mountain is so big and everyone else has dispersed, I don't know if we can still meet other people, it's good to ask what the Cirsium grass looks like."

  "Hmph, it's so desolate here, I wonder if this guy is scared or not."

  On one hand, she was thinking about the appearance of those four herbs that she remembered in her mind, while on the other hand, she carefully examined various plants in the dense forest.
