know that Xiaoyao was planning to refine high-grade pills, they would certainly be greatly surprised.It's not like there aren't people in the Heavenwind Kingdom who are skilled at refining high-grade...Chapter 210 Ginseng of Ten Thousand Years - Part 1

If there was anything that Cui Xu could see Xianyao wanted from Dong Wuniang, he couldn't figure it out. Apart from making soup for Dong Wuniang one day, Xianyao didn't seem to have any ulterior motives. Furthermore, when they talked together, Xianyao often got lost in thought and wasn’t particularly eager to chat.

Under such circumstances, Cui Xu should feel at ease since it seemed that Xianyao had no interest in Dong Wuniang, but the problem was that while Xianyao might not be interested, Godess Dong Wuniang certainly had feelings!

Even though Xianyao didn't chat much and sometimes got lost in thought, Dong Wuniang still enjoyed chatting with him. Even if it meant talking to herself, she would do so, and she also liked accompanying Xianyao as he quietly daydreamed.

Of course, the feelings of Godess Dong Wuniang weren't deep love; they couldn’t even be considered romantic love. It was simply a matter of having some goodwill toward Xianyao. She felt comfortable when she was around him; that was all there was to it.

Xianyao ignored this, thinking only about collecting materials. He hoped to gather the materials he wanted and then finish the trial mission as soon as possible so that he could return home. There was still a treasure waiting for him.

Today was the day when they ventured deepest into Heart Mountain, meaning it should also be the day with the most danger but also the greatest opportunity. Xianyao hoped to encounter good things, which would be a rare chance because even if he came alone, it would still be hard for him to advance further in. Even if he did make progress, he wouldn't necessarily have the ability to take what was valuable.

"Xianyao, come with me! I found something good!"

During lunchtime, Cui Xu came looking for Xianyao. He looked friendly but had hints of hatred in his eyes.

Xianyao thought nothing good would come out of this situation, but he felt that Cui Xu couldn't really pose a serious threat to him because he had many ways to protect himself. Furthermore, maybe something was there and if Cui Xu was being kind, it wouldn’t be his fault for assuming the worst.

"Oh, I understand!" Xianyao decided to follow Cui Xu and see what was going on. If they were up to something against him, at least he would know to be wary, which was better than getting ambushed.

Cui Xu led Xianyao to a cliff's edge. This was one of many terrains in Heart Mountain; the cliff seemed to extend endlessly and could not even be seen at its end. Below it lay verdant forests.

However, although this wasn't an abyss, the height of the cliff was frighteningly high. The altitude difference between where Xianyao stood on the cliff and the green forest below would likely cause someone to die from falling.

Cui Xu brought Xianyao here but then walked up to the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance.

"Young Master Cui, where is this thing you mentioned" Xianyao came over to the cliff's edge too. He didn't stay with Cui Xu; instead, he maintained a safe distance while facing downward toward the cliff. It seemed as if he was searching for something and wasn’t deliberately staying away from Cui Xu.

"The thing is down there! You go get it!" Cui Xu said coldly.

"This place is too high. Even if I could find a way to get down, I wouldn't be able to climb back up easily. What kind of treasure did you say was here If it's not valuable enough, I won’t go," Xianyao said earnestly, as though he hadn't noticed Cui Xu’s hostility.

Cui Xu seemed somewhat surprised and asked, "So, if there were something valuable, would you go down"

"Of course!" Xianyao replied.

"That's very dangerous!" Cui Xu warned. "It’s not just the height; this forest below is filled with terrifying demons. If it weren’t for this cliff blocking their way, we wouldn't dare to come here."

“Oh... This place is Horizontal Dragon Cliff” Xianyao remembered a special cliff that, according to records, stretched for miles and was so high and steep that the demons below couldn’t cross it, thereby preventing them from spreading outwards.

The Horizontal Dragon Cliff served as a dividing line between Heart Mountain's center and its middle section. Beyond this boundary, there would be a significant difference in the strength of the demons.

"You do know something! Yes, this is indeed the Horizontal Dragon Cliff!" Cui Xu said.

“Oh... Young Master Cui, what kind of treasure did you find” Xianyao asked again.

“The thing….” Unexpectedly, Cui Xu hadn't expected Xianyao to ask again. He had purposely brought him here but wasn’t trying to harm him; he was far too cunning for that.

Xianyao following him would have been seen by many people. If he were to do something against Xianyao now, it would likely bring a lot of trouble down on his head.

Most importantly, Cui Xu was like his name: he could boast but didn’t dare carry out any sinister acts!

"There's nothing here. I only want to warn you not to have any inappropriate thoughts about my junior sister Dong and think about your own status!" Cui Xu revealed his purpose; that was what he wanted, to give Xianyao a warning.

“Oh, I understand this already. Hey, Young Master Cui, it looks like you were joking! There really is something good here!” Suddenly changing his tone, Xianyao’s words puzzled Cui Xu. Then, what happened next made Cui Xu jump in fright.

Suddenly, as he finished speaking, Xiaoyao jumped down and fell off the cliff!

"Ah! Xiaoyao..." Cui Xu screamed out loud. He subconsciously dived to where Xiaoyao was just standing and looked down to see Xiaoyao's figure gradually shrinking.

Eastern Wunian suddenly appeared beside him. She had always felt strange about why Cui Xu was looking for Xiaoyao, so she followed along out of curiosity. But when she saw Xiaoyao jump off the cliff suddenly, she didn't feel right asking Cui Xu directly as he was still quite far away.

"This is not my business. I don't know what happened either. He just said there are good things here and then jumped down. Could it be that he saw something" At first, Cui Xu was slightly panicked but soon calmed down. He thought to himself, "What am I afraid of What did I do"

“What kind of good thing It should have been some medicinal herbs he discovered. But why didn't he prepare anything and just jumped down like that How will he get back up when the time comes” Eastern Wunian was a bit curious. She had already seen Xiaoyao use certain methods to stop on the cliff wall, so she knew it would be fine.

Adding Cui Xu's explanation together, she understood that Xiaoyao jumped down because he found some good medicine and had nothing to do with Cui Xu. However, she couldn't understand why Xiaoyao didn't prepare anything before picking herbs and just jumped down. Even experts wouldn't dare do such a thing.

"I don’t know. Let's wait here for him. Perhaps he might need our help," Cui Xu said. Even if he wasn't willing to wait, even hoping Xiaoyao would not be able to get back up, at this moment, he had to say something nice to gain Eastern Wunian’s favor.

"Mm!" Eastern Wunian nodded.

“Xiaoyao, are you okay down there” Eastern Wunian shouted towards him. She believed Xiaoyao could hear her; the open space would allow sound to carry far and wide.

"I'm fine! You guys just wait up there. Even if I don't come back up right away, it's no problem because I'll manage on my own. Don’t talk to me anymore, I need to work! Also, don’t shout so loudly or you’ll attract the beastmen!" Xiaoyao’s voice echoed from below.

"Oh, alright then," Eastern Wunian replied subconsciously. She suddenly realized this was unnecessary and her face turned slightly red with embarrassment. Fortunately, no one else was around (Cui Xu had been ignored by her), so she sat to the side and waited.

What is Xiaoyao doing down there What good thing did he find

This Xiaoyao just found something really good! A very valuable treasure!

Xiaoyao didn't expect that Cui Xu would lead him to such a place. Although it seemed accidental, this was how it turned out.

A little while ago, he smelled the scent of spiritual energy here. Xiaoyao was sure there were heaven-grade treasures below and decided to investigate further. He found them right below, so he jumped down immediately.

Xiaoyao wasn't afraid of jumping down because he had tools that could keep him from falling off the cliff at any time. Additionally, some equipment allowed him to glide in mid-air, ensuring absolute safety.

Xiaoyao stopped on a small platform that was spewing something out. What he wanted to find was here—this was an extremely rare spiritual fruit that could be used in medicine and also increase one's cultivation if eaten directly.

This was treasure, even at the heart of Tianxin Mountain there wouldn't be many available because such fruits were hard to grow. They needed long-term absorption of natural spiritual energy before ripening, a process that took a very long time.

Additionally, these kinds of spiritual fruits would attract most animals and beastmen to eat them up. Some intelligent beastmen would wait until the fruit was ripe but others would just devour it straight away without waiting.

Moreover, when such fruits ripened to a certain point, they had to be consumed or collected quickly with special methods for medicinal use; otherwise, their contained spiritual energy would dissipate.

Xiaoyao was lucky because this particular fruit had just matured recently and could be picked...

Just as Xiaoyao prepared to pick the fruit happily, something unexpected happened. The fruit in front of him was eaten up by a white chubby round beastman, who was...

"Chompchomp! You quickly spit it out; this kind of spiritual fruit needs to be made into medicine to achieve its best effects. What you did is sheer wastefulness!" Xiaoyao grabbed Chompchomp and shook him vigorously.

“Chompchomp…” Chompchomp seemed unwilling to regurgitate, shaking his head fiercely.

"Do you dare defy me Do you believe I will throw you down" Xiaoyao continued twisting Chompchomp in an attempt to make him give up the fruit.

“Chompchomp!” Chompchomp pouted and stared back at Xiaoyao.

...

Xiaoyao was a bit speechless. From Chompchomp's reaction and his eyes, Xiaoyao realized that Chompchomp was determined; the fruit seemed to be very useful for him.(To Be Continued)y mother, what right do you have to decide my name," said Daoxuan indifferently.
