Chattering

The kingfisher on the branch of the tree began to hum softly. Jiang Wuxin opened her eyes. The sky was already bright, and the sun was rising.

He had fallen asleep early last night and had fully recovered his physical strength by the time he had rested. He stood up and stretched his body, feeling the vigor and energy contained within his body.

It was another new day, and today he was going to the peak of Hundred Bird Mountain. The Hundred Birds Peak was thousands of feet high. Moreover, the ground was steep and the rocks were jagged. It was already very steep halfway up the mountain, so ordinary people wouldn't risk going up to Hundred Bird Peak.

Jiang Wuxin had already seen the Hundred Bird Peak yesterday. Although he didn't know the name of the peak, he still felt that it was a suitable place for him to practice the Clear Cloud Steps from afar.

After washing up in the stream, he swallowed down a piece of hard cake in two bites, picked up his backpack and headed towards Hundred Birds Peak.

He didn't find any precious herbs along the way, which made him feel like his luck wasn't affected at all. According to what his master had told him, as long as one did not get distracted while walking for a few days and carefully observe the surrounding area, it was very possible to find some herbs that were useful on the continent. Jiang Wuxin had been taught some knowledge about herbal medicine by the Sect Leader since he was young. In the past eight years, he had also learned a lot of common herbs in the Cloud Step Sect.

While he was on the road, because he was practicing the Blue Cloud Steps, he had been observing his surroundings and paying attention to every nook and cranny. Apparently, there were no herbs he had yet to find.

Jiang Wuxin was the one to enlighten herself. She had only been in the mountain range for a few days, and there would still be a few more months for her. She believed that she would always be able to reap some rewards.

Using the intermediate Green Cloud Steps, he quickly arrived at the foot of Hundred Birds Peak.

He tightened the bag on his body and placed the short knife diagonally behind his waist. It was suitable for him to draw his own blade at any time, so he started to climb Hundred Birds Peak.

The vegetation here seemed to be slightly different from the other areas of Hundred Bird Mountain. Low grasses littered the area, and every few steps, a small tree could be seen. However, there were often one or two sharp stones hidden in the underbrush, making it easy for one to sprained their ankle if one wasn't careful. Jiang Wuxin didn't mind. Although his Qing Gong had only reached the Mid Rank, he already had some special footwork when he was in the Mid Rank Cyan Cloud Steps. He could use his Fa Li when he was unable to stand steadily and form his Fa Li once again.

Therefore, Jiang Wuxin just casually ran up the mountain. Even if he sometimes stepped on a rock, his body would slant and he would immediately use his mana to rush forward. Like this, a young man could be seen jumping left and right towards the mountain peak.

To go up the mountain was different from going on the flat road. Moreover, he had to fight against the rugged terrain of the mountain road, which caused the true essence within his body to be severely depleted. The Hundred Birds Peak had almost reached the top of the mountain, and became a towering stone cliff. The cliff was bare, devoid of any vegetation. Looking up from where he was standing, he could only make out the faint growth of plants on the mountaintop.

Jiang Wuxin sat down to rest. He opened his water bag and took a sip, slowly taking a look at the scenery on the mountain top. Looking down from his position, he could only see a field of green.

When he turned towards the patch of vegetation on the summit of Hundred Bird Peak once again, he suddenly discovered something new.

He quickly stood up and used one hand to cover his face from the sun. The lush colors and palm-shaped leaves looked like the Green Paw Grass he had once seen. Jadepalm Grass was a plant that was usually grown on cliffs and cliffs. It was relatively rare, and even if there was one, it would only have one or two plants growing on it. Green Paw Grass could be used as a pill material to concoct Essence Pill. If Jade Palm Grass was added to the Essence Pill, then the effectiveness of the Essence Pill would greatly increase. Essence Pills were used to quickly treat internal injuries as well as to quickly recover the true essence within the body. Experts and nobles on the continent would usually bring one or two with them to guard against unusual situations.
