Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 379 - Spiritual Herb Magnet?

Following the young girl into the busy Mission Hall, Xuan Hao was a little blown back upon witnessing how truly chaotic the situation inside the Mission Hall was… In the future, they needed to get an even bigger Mission Hall or maybe add on a few more Mission Halls. Separating the missions over these new halls through the strength needed for the missions.

Having a hall for the Foundation Establishment Realm missions, one for the Core Formation Realm and so on…

”So, do you have any kind of mission that you had been looking forward to do doing…?” Having looked around enough, Xuan Hao turned his attention back towards the young girl.

Even if he wanted to take on a mission that was easy and quick to complete, he still had to listen to what the young girl wanted to do.

After all, for now at least, it looked like she still had no clue who he was and might even have mistaken him for a disciple like herself…

Hearing Xuan Hao, the young girl thought about it for a moment before walking up to the place where missions for the Foundation Establishment were located.

”We can do this one!” Squeezing her way into the crowd of disciples before coming back out with a mission in hand, the young girl happily showed it off to Xuan Hao.

[Gather Herbs for the Alchemy Hall]

[Description: Gather Herbs for the Alchemy Hall, any herbs are acceptable, be it Mortal Grade Spiritual Herbs or normal herbs. Normal herbs or Mortal Grade spiritual herbs can be found in the forest surrounding the sect.]

[Recommended Strength: Vary depending on the grade of the spiritual herb, normal herbs require no strength to gather.]

[Reward: Depends on the quality of the herb brought back. Possible rewards are spirit stones, potions, pills or artifacts]

[Time Limit: No Time Limit]

[Special Notice: This mission is repeatable. Please donʼt remove it from the mission board!]

”Are you sure you want to do this mission…?” Trying his best not to say anything rude to the young girl after noticing the last part written down on the mission, Xuan Hao discreetly got her to hand it over to him as he asked before using his strength to put the mission back onto the mission board without the young girl noticing anything.

”Yes! I always get a lot of different herbs from Grandpa Song, and I really wanted to see how they are gathered!” Nodding her head, oblivious to what Xuan Hao was doing, the young girl was full of excitement as she answered truthfully with a pure smile on her face.

”I see… Then we will take on this mission!” Agreeing with her, Xuan Hao and the young girl soon left the mission hall.

Registering the mission was not needed, as it was not a personal mission given by an elder or a disciple, but the sect. All they would need to do was to hand in the herbs after they had gathered them, and the sect would pay them accordingly.

From Xuan Haoʼs perspective, this mission was perfect. At most taking a few hours to complete and at the same time far one of the closest missions. Only having them visit the forest close to the sect to gather a few herbs.

A few hours should be more than enough time for him to figure out what was so special about the young girl…

At least that was what Xuan Hao had thought, but after walking together with her to the forest and even using his system to try and find out if she had a high talent or special physique, Xuan Hao still had no way to find out why the young girl was so special.

For the first time, Xuan Haoʼs system showed nothing when he had tried inspecting the young girl to find out if she had any special physique or high natural talent.

Scanning her with his divine sense and domain several times yielded no results as well, causing Xuan Hao to grow even more curious about the young girl and the reason as to why the system for the first time ever didnʼt work on someone.

Not only that, but during their small journey to the forest closest to the Flying Sword Sect located just a few hundred meters away from the Flying Sword City, Xuan Hao managed to learn that the young girl was blind…

Though she had explained that she was not completely fine and could still barely see the blurry outlines of people and objects a few meters in front of her, but this was still more than enough to shock Xuan Hao.

After all, she had walked like a completely normal person, and he hadnʼt noticed different about her in that regard.

Looking a bit closer after hearing this, Xuan Hao had indeed noticed how different her eyes were. Realizing that her eyes were a little white or cloudy in colour.

Not only that, but Xuan Hao felt something inexplainable as he looked into her pair of cloudy eyes. Almost like something was hidden beneath the surface.

”I-is something wrong…?” Noticing how Xuan Hao had come to a stop as he stared directly into her eyes, the young girl nervously asked. Different from her earlier energetic self.

”No, itʼs nothing, Iʼve just never met someone like you before, so I was a bit curious… We should get started so we can finish the mission before it starts getting dark!” Answering honestly, Xuan Hao and the young girl reached the forest just outside the Flying Sword City.

The forest was different from the demon beast forest used during the entrance test for the sect and didnʼt contain any dangerous demon beast. Most of the demon beasts that were there would at most have reached the first of second stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.

The reason for this was that the Flying Sword Sect would often clean up the area around the sect, so as to make sure there werenʼt any dangerous demon beasts around.

Overall, the area surrounding the Flying Sword Sect was safe. Most of the place being cleared out by the elders and disciples on a daily basis.

The only somewhat dangerous place around the Flying Sword Sect was the demon beast forest and that was kept tightly under watch by a few elders around the clock, so as to ensure none of the demon beasts inside left and ended up causing chaos outside…

Well as much chaos as a few demon beasts in the Qi Condensation Realm could cause…

…

During the entire mission to gather a few herbs, Xuan Hao mostly stood to the side as he watched while the young girl easily found several Mortal Grade spiritual herbs along with a single Earth Grade spiritual herb that should not even have been present inside the forest just next to a large city…

The fact that the young girl so easily found several rare herbs with close to no effort, once again caused Xuan Hao to grow more curious.

Perhaps there was something special about her eyes?

”H-help!”

His thoughts were quickly interrupted as he saw the young girl in question run over towards him with a fearful expression on her face, a small squirrel demon beast barely at the first stage of the Qi Condensation Realm chasing after her from behind.

”…”

Is she really that weak…?

Not knowing what to think as he watched someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm fearful escape from a small squirrel demon beast at the first stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, Xuan Hao waved his hand as the small squirrel demon beast directly froze on the spot. Having turned into an ice sculpture.

”Hah… Hah… That was scary… Grandpa Song was right, the outside world truly is dangerous!” Not aware of what Xuan Hao was thinking, the young girl sat down on the ground with an exhausted look on her face before turning her head over in the direction of Xuan Hao.

”Thanks for saving me! I Really donʼt know how I would have ended up without you help!”

”No problem…”

Feeling a bit weird being thanked for helping her, Xuan Haoʼs attention soon focused on the herb in her hand.

”Is that…”

”Yes, the demon beast was guarding this herb! With how strong it was, Iʼm sure this is a precious spiritual herb! According to what Grandpa Song told me, precious spiritual herbs are always guarded by strong demon beasts!”

”…”

Feeling speechless yet again, Xuan Hao looked over towards the squirrel that had turned into an ice sculpture after having been frozen by his ice domain.

While the strength of the demon beast is not that strong, the spiritual herb is indeed precious… How did she even manage to find something like this here in the first place?

The spiritual herb in question was a Spirit Grade spiritual herb! Normally something like that would be guarded by a demon beast in the Core Formation Realm! Not a small squirrel in the first stage of the Qi Condensation Realm!

Not to mention the fact that they were currently inside a small forest located only a few hundred meters away from the Flying Sword City…

Was the young girl perhaps a spiritual herb magnet?
