On the twentieth day, Chen Yuan was about to go to the scientific research department as usual, but received a message.

"Member Chen Yuan, now adjust your personnel level to level three, and follow the third-level member Zhou Bai, third-level member Wang Yi, and third-level member Li Hao to carry out the mission together in one month, your research mission has ended today, please prepare for the task within two months. ”

Seeing this message, Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he kept smirking.

In the past half a month, although he has lived a very stable life, he is really bored to the point of vomiting.

At that moment, the watch rang again, and a new message came.

"Chen Yuan, I think you also know, and the reason why we told you a month in advance is because the medicinal herb you want to find is already about to ripen, and on Miao Jiang's side, no one among the 'Big Four Joys' will go with you, so you have a month to go on your own. ”

The signature of this message is that of the shooter.

And after Chen Yuan finished reading it, his eyes lit up.

Previously, the medicinal materials purchased by the "Big Four Joys" had been delivered to him, but there were still two flavors left, he thought that he could only continue to wait, but he didn't expect that one of them could already be picked.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan looked at the black suit hanging on the door, which seemed to have never been worn.

Then, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A day later, Chen Yuan came directly to the City of Bliss.

The first person he visited was Li Changsheng.

But after coming to the ancestral pavilion, he was told that Li Changsheng had disappeared recently, and before disappearing, Li Changsheng explained to the ancestral pavilion that he had gone to that place, and if anyone came to ask, don't make a noise.

However, Zu Ge found out that it was Chen Yuan, so he reported it without much thought, so Chen Yuan knew Li Changsheng's true whereabouts.

As for Chen Yuan's re-arrival, the elders of Elysium City are not interested.

"What's the matter with you? Why are you coming back?"

Chen Yuan was a little confused, and said in his heart, Did I provoke your ancestral pavilion?

But he didn't express his thoughts.

"Well, I actually wanted to come to find two flavors of medicinal herbs, and I heard that one of them grows in Miaojiang, and it is about to ripen. ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Are you looking for the 'Seven Star Flower'?"

Chen Yuan nodded, and asked suspiciously, "How do you know, Elder Ge?"

The old woman smiled and shook her head.

"You're not the only one who came to find the 'Seven Star Flower' at this time. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was slightly shocked in his heart.

"The 'Seven Star Flower' was discovered more than 300 years ago, and it matures every ten years, and except for the volcano, there are no signs of growth found anywhere, even if it is transplanted, it can't be lived, so every ten years, there are many outsiders who come to Miaojiang to pick it, and it is a bloody battle without exception. ”

Speaking of this, the old woman smiled again.

"Why, didn't the senior management of your 'Big Four Happiness' tell you? Or are they unwilling to involve Miao Jiang to this point?"

Chen Yuan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he didn't reply immediately.

"Big Four Happiness" didn't explain the reason for the situation to himself, Chen Yuan could actually guess that this was his own business after all, and it was enough for "Big Four Happiness" to help him get to this point.

And the reason why the "Big Four Happiness" doesn't want to involve Miao Jiang is that this place has become a world of its own, and they know that the owner here is actually not a Miao Jiang person, but the old ape on Fanjing Mountain.

Although the old ape doesn't care about the world, he is actually still very disgusted that there are more than C-level powerhouses entering Miao Jiang.

More than two hundred years ago, there was a martial emperor who broke into Miao Jiang, originally wanting to hunt demon beasts and strange beasts.

But the day after he entered Miaojiang, he was found fainting outside Miaojiang, which shows that the old ape really doesn't like outsiders.

And for the existence of the old ape, the "Big Four Happiness" naturally will not interfere too much, and naturally there are such rules.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yuan said, "Elder Ge, how long will it take for this 'Seven Star Flower' to mature?"

"Huh. The old woman smiled again, "What, do you really want to get involved?"

Chen Yuan nodded solemnly.

"You have to take it. ”

Seeing Chen Yuan's serious face, the old woman was also a little serious.

"Chen Yuan, I mentioned you a few words because there is a relationship between you and Li Changsheng and that existence, but this 'Seven Star Flower', I advise you not to touch it, we Miao Jiang people, we don't dare to touch it. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan's brows furrowed tightly.

"Who are those contenders?"

"Someone you can't afford to mess with. The old woman said coldly, with a little inexplicability in her eyes, "If I guessed correctly, the battle for the power of the 'Seven Star Flower' finally fell into the hands of several families in Yanjing, and those families, their power, is something you can't even think of." ”

Chen Yuan's heart sank, and his face became solemn.

Yanjing has been the Kyoto of China since ancient times, it can be said that it is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, after the explosion of spiritual power, Yanjing is also the heaviest place in the whole of China's defense, and no demon beast or strange beast can successfully step into the city.

In the extra half of the "Big Four Joys", although Chen Yuan had never gone out, he had faintly heard some things about Yanjing from other people's mouths, especially the young masters and young ladies of those families, which could be said to be famous.

If the old woman didn't lie to him, then if she wanted to snatch the "Seven Star Flower" from these families, it would be tantamount to provoking those families.

Just as Chen Yuan thought of this, the old woman continued.

"These family members are not the most serious problem, you must know that if you go to pick the 'Seven Star Flower' alone, you will encounter a very powerful beast, we all call it 'Black Jiao', in the past competition, those family children first joined forces to defeat the 'Black Jiao' before taking the medicine, and if you want to take it, there is only one person to face it, have you thought clearly?"

Chen Yuan's eyes sank again.

"Elder Ge, can you tell me what kind of strength that 'Black Jiao' is?"

The old woman shook her head and sighed: "You are iron-hearted, then I will tell you really, Yu Mang tried to hunt that 'black Jiao' a few years ago, but he was almost swallowed." ”

After speaking, the old woman stared at Chen Yuan quietly, just like a dead person.

And Chen Yuan's heart was extremely shocked.

What kind of cultivation is Yu Mang?

Like Gu Qing, he is a C-level elite, even a few years ago, it was almost the same as now, but he was almost swallowed by that strange beast, so the strength of the "Black Jiao" can be imagined, most likely at the peak of the C-level!

And such a strong beast can be repelled by the children of those families, how strong should those children of the family be?

As if she had guessed what Chen Yuan was thinking, the old woman smiled coldly.

"Those family members are indeed not weak, but it is impossible to say that they can defeat the 'Black Jiao' by joining forces with their strength, they are all relying on the spiritual energy equipment they brought, if you want to pick the 'Seven Star Flower' alone, there are only two ways. ”

As she spoke, the old woman raised two fingers.

"One, I hid it aside in advance, and when they fought with the 'Black Jiao', I went to pick the 'Seven Star Flowers'. ”

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

This method is indeed feasible, but the risk is too great, not to mention how to bypass those family children to sneak in in advance, it is extremely difficult to just wait and hide next to the "black Jiao".

Although Chen Yuan was able to control the shadow to hide his body, and he also had the "Turtle Breath Gong" to cover up the fluctuations of spiritual power, he was discovered by Gu Qing, a C-level elite, when he was in the Gu family before, and this C-level peak "Black Jiao" was most likely able to find him.

And even if Chen Yuan succeeded, bypassed those family children, escaped the perception of "Black Jiao", and picked the "Seven Star Flower", then how did he get out?

Chen Yuan didn't doubt at all how angry those family members would be after they found out that they had snatched the "Seven Star Flower" in advance, and the "Black Jiao" would probably let go of them and come towards him.

It will even evolve into those family members attacking themselves together with the "Black Jiao", and at that time, it will really be ten deaths.

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking about this, the old woman continued.

"The second point is that you can deal with those family members in advance, snatch their psionic equipment, and then go and get the 'Seven Star Flower' yourself,"

When the words fell, Chen Yuan's face instantly sank.

"Elder Ge, those family members were together before they repelled the 'Black Jiao', right?"

"Yes. ”

"And the snatching of this 'Seven Star Flower' is actually just a kind of trial in the family for them, right?"

"Yes. ”

"So between them, they are all up to the point, there is no difference between life and death, and they are basically friends with each other, right?"

"Hehe, you're right. ”

The corners of Chen Yuan's eyes twitched, and his forehead was full of black lines.

"Then what's the difference between this second method and not saying it?"

The old woman smiled again.

"That's why I persuaded you to give up, but since you are so insistent, of course I have to give you an idea, who called you Chen Yuan, is half of Miaojiang?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan sighed in his heart.

He understood that the old woman's words were to give him the idea of asking for help in Miaojiang.

Since they are half of the Miaojiang people, the other half are outsiders.

The disputes between outsiders and outsiders, what kind of attitude Zuge and Miao Jiang will have, you can know with your feet.

Perhaps it was compassion, the old woman sighed lightly.

"Hey, think about it more, anyway, the 'Seven Star Flower' still has a few days to mature, you might as well talk about another medicinal herb, what if Miao Jiang also has it?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Another medicinal herb, called 'Baijin Cao', is said to be very rare. ”

After hearing this, the old woman's face suddenly became a little strange.

"This medicine...... You might as well go to Baicao Street and have some discoveries. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was stunned.

Is it such a coincidence?

"But if someone asks about you, don't say I told you to go, you know?"

Looking at the old woman's strange face, Chen Yuan nodded.

Then he chatted with the old woman for a few more words, and then took his leave and walked out.

And after Chen Yuan left, a little memory appeared in the old woman's eyes.

"You're actually looking for 'Baijin Grass', old man, don't be too ruthless. ”
