Chapter Eighty-two: The Shape-shifting Grass of Southern Xinjiang

  The legend of Wanshou Mountain has gradually disappeared from people's eyes. However, the fact that it is rich in transformative grass is known throughout the world.

  However, the effect of the transformation grass on ordinary people is not great, and it is mostly needed by monsters.

  Perhaps someone will say that the effect is not great, why did it become like this when I came to Wu Ming? In fact, this matter can be explained. The transformation grass can indeed enhance the root bone, but this is only the main medicine of a certain Dan medicine, what about the formula? This thing is not something that everyone knows, and it can even be said that most people in the world do not know that the transformation grass has this effect. In other words, among the tens of billions of people in the human race, if you don't have a root bone, others do, and when selecting disciples, they choose the good ones, just like the Xuan Tian Sect selects disciples, with good innate talent, but also requires corresponding moral character to be accepted. Would anyone accept a disciple specifically to refine Dan medicine?

  Moreover, the transformation grass is abundant in the southern border, and there are not small crises inside. Those who do not have a bit of strength dare not enter Wanshou Mountain, and those with strength will not come to provoke the southern border monsters too much. Who knows if a big monster will pop out from inside?

  "Alright, seeing this will definitely make some people question why Wu Ming and the others entered here and only encountered a tree demon without encountering other powerful demonic beasts. Here's another revelation: Firstly, writing too much is pointless. Secondly, as mentioned in chapter 28, there has been a beast tide in Haizhou recently, so everyone should understand what's going on. Also, why didn't Wu Ming directly exchange for the Dan medicine that can expand his root bone? It was explained earlier that such medicine is rare and comes with a great cost, which Wu Ming cannot afford. To be honest, I'm not complaining about readers' suggestions, but some things can really be found in previous chapters if you pay attention. If it's not there, I promise to take note and make changes later. Please bear with me, everyone, as I really don't want to explain like this again. If you can just overlook it, that would be great."

  Not to mention, the transformation grass is not necessarily a hundred percent beneficial thing for the demon beasts. Generally, when a demon beast's cultivation reaches a certain level, it will transform after crossing the tribulation. However, because of eating the transformation grass and transforming prematurely, the demon beast will have some congenital defects from the beginning. This point has also been obtained by the demon beasts through countless experiments.

  There are many reasons for this, and there is also a market for it, but not much, which makes this thing not very popular.

  Wanshou Mountain is very large, although it doesn't refer to the entire mountain range, but no matter how you look at it, it's over a thousand miles long. The mountain isn't high, somewhat like a ridge. Inside, trees are densely grown, and streams flow, also a beautiful scenery. Of course, if there weren't occasionally a few toads jumping out, it would be even better.

  There are indeed many toads here, some as small as a thumb, and the larger ones are as big as a millstone. Most of them are squatting in the mountain stream, watching the two people enter Wanshou Mountain.

  "No wonder there are golden toads here, with so many water veins and a large area of mountains to survive." Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

  Shi Jingxuan nodded and said, "Indeed, Master once said that the Hua Xing Cao likes water, most of them are born by the water, and they are yin in nature, not fond of sunlight. So it's usually hard to find them by riversides. In the past, there were still some outside, but due to the calamity caused by demons and humans, they have almost become extinct. Perhaps in the southwestern or northwestern mountain ranges, there might still be some left. However, this place is indeed the best environment for Hua Xing Cao to grow, and because of Jin Chan's deterrent power, they are all well-preserved."

  "What's the intimidating power of Jin Chan? Isn't it already dead for tens of thousands of years?" Wu Ming was shocked, wasn't that something from tens of thousands of years ago? Could it be that this guy can still intimidate for tens of thousands of years?

  Shi Jingxuan rolled her eyes, "Can't even let people release a few more golden toads? But in recent years, I haven't heard of any golden toads either, probably all extinct. However, the Toad clan also had many powerful masters, but they gradually declined."

  The two of them spoke in a hushed tone. In this toad's territory, if they had spoken openly and honestly, they might not have been able to leave. The toad clan was declining, but it wasn't so weak that it couldn't take down two innate-level humans.

  "Huh, look over there, isn't that a Shape-Shifting Grass?" Wu Ming wasn't very familiar with this medicinal herb. He had seen it before in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, but the medical skills he learned from the system inheritance didn't include any knowledge of this grass. Perhaps it was because the medical skills inherited from that system were tied to the martial arts world, after all, there weren't any demonic beasts unique to this world over there."

  "Hmm, you're quite sharp-eyed to have discovered this." Shi Jingxuan smiled, although this was a place where the Transforming Grass grew in abundance, it wasn't something that could be found just anywhere. To think that it had been discovered so easily, naturally delighted Shi Jingxuan.

  The place where the transformation grass grew was beside a stream, and there was a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. Under the tree, a green aquatic plant that was only over a foot tall swayed in the wind. Next to it was a toad as large as a millstone squatting there, staring at the two people with its bulging eyes. Its two front paws seemed to be protecting the transformation grass.

  Wu Ming saw that it was this one, and he immediately felt a surge of joy, wanting to walk over and pick it. However, he hesitated for a moment, looked at the toad, and said out loud: "Toad elder, I just want that stalk of transformation grass, I don't have any malicious intentions. You can rest assured, I'll pick it and leave, what do you think?"

  "Ribbit... ribbit..." The big toad seemed to understand Wu Ming's words and croaked twice, but this was a great test of Wu Ming's brain. What did this sentence mean? It was really hard to guess!

  Wu Ming didn't understand, so the big toad croaked again twice.

  With its cry, a large area of frogs croaking sounds rose around. It was as if in a fierce discussion, everywhere was the sound of frogs calling. For a time, all the toads around jumped out, and there were at least hundreds of them by the creek alone.

  Wu Ming scratched his head, damn it, can't anyone speak human language?

  He really hadn't thought of taking matters into his own hands, picking without the owner's consent is a normal thing in this world of warriors, but the problem is, you have to see what kind of strength the owner has. In simpler terms, it means bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

  In this Toad Mountain, daring to snatch the Transformation Grass from the toads' hands, isn't that seeking death?

  Wu Ming thought he still didn't have such strong abilities, so all he could do was scratch his head.

  "Shall we go and look for it again, elder sister?"

  Alright, Wu Ming admitted that he was also someone who would yield to the strong and bully the weak. He really didn't want to throw his life away here. It's not easy to cross over once, who knows if there will be another chance next time?

  Shi Jingxuan rolled her eyes again and said, "You don't even know what it is and you dare to pick it? Watch me!"

  Then this 'foolish woman' took out a piece of spiritual stone from her bosom and threw it over, saying: "This shape-changing grass belongs to me now."

  The big toad happily accepted the Ling stone, and immediately made a somewhat dissatisfied gesture, raising three fingers, and then let out two loud "Waahs".

  "Sister, does this mean that one is not enough and we need three?" Wu Ming was stunned. This big toad was too clever! He even understood sign language?

  PS: The author has another note here, and I'm sure everyone has also noticed. Almost all the things that can be exchanged in the system are martial arts related, and there is no exchange for things from the main world. Then please recommend and collect, and it's best to reward.
