Profound Spirit Grass has a very minimal effect on high-quality tool martial spirits, but for martial spirits like sickles and hammers, the effect it produces is excellent.
Even so, the price of Profound Spirit Grass on the market is far beyond the range they can afford.
Li Li learned of the location of the Profound Spirit Grass by accident, but he didn’t tell the other work-study students in the same dormitory.
As for why he didn’t look for other people and only looked for him, Tie Li could quickly guess the rough idea.
On one hand, it’s strength.
I have a hundred-year spirit ring, just the attribute endowment of the spirit ring is a huge gap;
Among the work-study students and commoner students in the academy, only myself and Li Li possess hundred-year spirit rings;
He couldn’t possibly ask noble students for help.
They all have the support of families behind them.
Once the location of the Profound Spirit Grass is exposed, they will mobilize the power of their families.
Another aspect might be the quantity of the Profound Spirit Grass.
There’s a very high chance there are only two stalks, which is why he has to find a Spirit Master similar to himself to set off together.
To be honest, Tie Li was tempted, but beside spirit herbs there are always spirit beasts guarding them.
“How about it?” Li Li asked.
Innate level seven spirit power, an ordinary sickle martial spirit, this was a thorn in his heart.
If the martial spirit quality were a bit better, he would have been absorbed by the Spirit Hall.
“I can agree to you, but you must explain the specific situation to me clearly.”
“Alright.”
Seeing Tie Li relent, Li Li immediately spoke out about the situation he had grasped.
The spirit beast guarding the Profound Spirit Grass was a century-old Iron-Armed Ape.
Both of them were one-ring Spirit Masters possessing hundred-year spirit rings.
As long as they cooperated properly, there was a very high chance of hunting the century-old Iron-Armed Ape.
“However, there are only three stalks of Profound Spirit Grass.” Li Li hesitated for a moment, and still chose to tell the truth.
The distribution of benefits was also an issue.
“I can only ask for one stalk, but the corpse of the Iron-Armed Ape belongs to me.”
“Deal.”
Seeing Tie Li let go of his stance, Li Li immediately agreed.
A dead century-old spirit beast can certainly fetch a good price, but how can it compare to a stalk of Profound Spirit Grass?
On the market, a stalk of Profound Spirit Grass can sell for at least five hundred gold spirit coins.
“When do we set off?”
“Just this afternoon!” Li Li said.
Tie Li’s brow wrinkled.
The other party didn’t plan to leave him any time, but he could also understand his thoughts.
“Alright, I’ll go back and fetch some things.”
Tie Li’s movements were very fast.
As soon as he returned home, he put the iron inner armor he took off before back on, and the claw marks of the Netherwolf still remained on it; He picked a piece of clothing he usually wore while hammering iron, and used it as an outer garment to put on his body.
He also found a few cloth ropes from home and put them in his shirt, touched the Thunder Python’s single horn to the side, and decided to bring it along as well.
After preparing properly, Tie Li arrived at the academy entrance, and saw Li Li who was already waiting.
He also took off the academy uniform, changed into his hemp clothes full of patches, and for a moment, the two looked roughly the same.
“Let’s set off!”
Li Li did not tell the specific location of the Profound Spirit Grass, so Tie Li could only follow by his side.
It was only after going all the way out of Mannuo City that Li Li finally spoke.
“Last time I came out from the village, I wanted to take a shortcut to rush back to the academy, crossing through from the White Light Forest, and accidentally saw unripe Profound Spirit Grass on a mountain peak, but there was a century-old Iron-Armed Ape guarding beside the Profound Spirit Grass.”
The White Light Forest cannot be considered a spirit beast forest.
Most of the creatures inside are wild beasts, and occasionally there will be ten-year spirit beasts appearing.
This suddenly appearing century-old spirit beast, the Iron-Armed Ape, was highly likely to have been attracted by the fragrance of the Profound Spirit Grass.
Spirit grasses and spirit flowers born from heaven and earth have an inexplicable attraction to specific spirit beasts.
Even from far away, they can sense it.
Just as the two rushed to the White Light Forest, they found there was a merchant caravan, and in front of the caravan was a group of bandits, blocking their path.
“This is troublesome now.
Should we detour from the other side?” Li Li opened his mouth to suggest.
Tie Li gave a deeply meaningful look to the confronting parties.
With the strength of the two of them, it was better not to wade into this muddy water.
The caravan was escorting grain and living supplies, a full twelve carriages.
Although it was worth quite a bit of money, at most they could hire one one-ring Spirit Master to hold the line for the caravan.
Yet Tie Li sensed three waves of spirit power fluctuations in the caravan, and in the bandit group, there were a full four spirit power fluctuations.
If it were just an ordinary transport of goods, would it attract so many Spirit Masters?
Avoiding trouble is better than seeking it.
For the current Tie Li, it was the best choice.
The two concealed their own auras and detoured to the other side of the forest.
Li Li was very familiar with the terrain of this area, and advanced at a fast speed, but Tie Li always felt like he was deliberately taking a detour.
It wasn’t until the sun went down that Tie Li finally saw the mountain peak from Li Li’s mouth.
The three stalks of Profound Spirit Grass were right at the peak of the mountain.
“Wait for the Profound Spirit Grass to absorb the final ray of moonlight tonight, and it will completely mature.” Li Li said to himself.
Tie Li did not say more, just following behind Li Li, hiding behind a giant boulder.
Sticking his head out, he could see the robust Iron-Armed Ape guarding beside the Profound Spirit Grass.
It was also waiting for the Profound Spirit Grass to mature!
The pristine round moon became increasingly cold and clear, faint chill light sprinkled from the sky, and the instant the Profound Spirit Grass touched the chill light, it emitted a tender white glow.
At this time, all of the Iron-Armed Ape’s attention fell onto the Profound Spirit Grass.
“Do it!”
The instant they summoned their martial spirits, their spirit rings released a yellow luster.
The luster of Tie Li’s spirit ring was deeper.
Taking the opportunity to glance at Li Li’s martial spirit, with the amplification of the hundred-year spirit ring, the form of his sickle had undergone a significant change.
A black handle body, a long sickle exuding a sharp cold glint, and when releasing the first spirit skill, the cold glint shone brightly.
Li Li forcefully swung out a blade, a blade light slashed out from the sickle martial spirit.
“Squelch”
Easily breaking open the back of the Iron-Armed Ape, slashing a gruesome wound, blood flowed out unceasingly, and white bone could even be seen.
First Spirit Skill, Thunder Hammer!
Just as the Iron-Armed Ape was about to turn around and counterattack, what met its face was a large hammer releasing lightning.
“Bang”
The impact force of the strength plus the accompanying lightning damage.
Forging, Shock Strike!
The hammer body emitted high-frequency vibrations, directly striking the head causing it to fall into brief dizziness, but it wasn’t enough to make it die directly.
“Chop its head.” Tie Li shouted towards Li Li.
Li Li stepped forward quickly, swinging and chopping towards the Iron-Armed Ape’s neck, his first spirit ring lighting up once again.
Releasing a blade light from so close?
Just as Tie Li was puzzled, he found that the blade edge of the sickle martial spirit became larger and even sharper.
Is this the hundred-year spirit skill?
“Crack”
Without any accidents, Li Li severed the Iron-Armed Ape’s head with a single slash.
Both of them couldn’t help but look at each other’s martial spirit and spirit rings.
A full ten seconds passed before Tie Li opened his mouth to break the situation.
“As agreed beforehand, I get one stalk of Profound Spirit Grass plus the corpse of the Iron-Armed Ape.” Tie Li was the first to arrive at the location of the Profound Spirit Grass, picking the stalk of Profound Spirit Grass that belonged to him.
Li Li followed closely, carefully picking two stalks, and placing them into a specially prepared wooden box.
