"We have a total of twenty-one disciples guarding the medicinal field, which is not considered big, and cannot be counted among the many medicinal fields in sect, but it is a little special. The medicinal herbs that we grow here cannot be grown in other places, they are mainly Fructus Flammulae s."

On the way to the valley, Li Yun introduced the two of them.

"Fructus Flammulae?"

Luo Xiu felt a slight difference. When he was bored, he had seen the medicine called the Hongmeng's remnant: "The Fructus Flammulae is very picky about the soil, and even the water quality that is usually watered has an extremely high requirement. It needs a bit of the yuanyang's scent to be in the water, although only a little, but this kind of water source is rarely seen even in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

After saying that, Luo Xiu suddenly realized something: "The only reason the stream outside Red Creek Valley is red is because it contains the yang-yang qi."

Li Yun looked at Luo Xiu with some surprise: "Fructus Flammulae s are rarely seen, and they aren't some extremely precious medicinal herbs. Furthermore, there are a lot of substitute medicinal herbs as well, so ordinary people wouldn't know about it in such detail. I never thought that Brother Luo would understand things this way, you are really knowledgeable, is Brother Luo learning the way of Pills too? "

Luo Xiu grinned: "Senior Sister Li is flattering me, I have only read about it in the books. As for the path of Pills, I do not dare to call myself that, I just learned a little from books."

In fact, not only did Luo Xiu have some understanding of Pills, but during the time it took him to "on a whim", in the face of the wall, he had read through almost all of the jobs under the Token system. If not for the fact that he had the powerful mental strength of the Mountain Sea Illusion, he would have already collapsed from receiving too much information.

However, because of this, his experience was much more extensive than the majority of his peers. Furthermore, under Xiao Xiao's guidance, he had mastered the usage of "spiritual seal" and gained an ability to tame beasts that could not be underestimated.

Li Yun could not help but look at Luo Xiu a few more times, and then continued: "That's right, we are currently in a medicinal field which relies on Hong Xi to cultivate, more than ninety percent of the land is planted with Fructus Flammulae, only ten percent of it is because the person in charge here grew some other medicinal ingredients out of his own interest."

While the three of them were conversing, they had already entered the Red Creek Valley and arrived at an empty area. It was the medicinal field that Li Yun and the rest were reclaiming, it was so big that it stretched as far as the eye could see, causing even Luo Xiu to be speechless.

"That one over there is the person in charge, Senior Zhang Zhang Yutang."

Li Yun introduced the two as she pointed to a young Men in the middle of the medicinal field who had his head lowered and was pacing in the middle of the medicinal field, as if he was looking for something.

She then called out to Zhang Yutang a few more times, but Zhang Yutang acted as if he did not hear her, and did not react at all.

Li Yun had no choice but to apologize to the two of them: "I'm sorry, Senior Zhang is a drug addict, other than refining pills, he's not interested in anything else. He might be too engrossed now, so he didn't notice us."

Luo Xiu and Chu Hongling looked at each other. Li Yun was shouting so loudly that almost the entire medicinal field could hear him. But that Senior Zhang turned a deaf ear to him.

Seeing that Zhang Yutang did not respond, Li Yun was helpless, and could only bring Luo Xiu and Chu Hongling into the medicinal field.

"These fluctuations are a little strange."

Once Luo Xiu stepped into the medicinal field, he immediately felt an unusually scorching aura. Although the Fructus Flammulae itself could emit fluctuations of vitality, Luo Xiu was able to discern it from the strong sense of vitality. That fluctuation was definitely not as simple as a normal Fructus Flammulae's undulations!

Chu Hongling also vaguely sensed something, and her gaze faintly flickered, but she did not say anything.

The two of them followed Li Yun across the medicinal field and arrived behind Zhang Yutang. Li Yun patted his back and Zhang Yutang's body trembled, obviously being scared by Li Yun's actions, causing the two of them to be at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This Zhang Yutang was simply too entranced, some people did not even notice when they walked behind him.

Junior Sister Yun, what are you doing! Can't you see that I'm working on something important? " Zhang Yutang was shocked for no reason, and said to Li Yun unhappily.

Li Yun did not mind, and laughed: "Brother Yutang, the help that we requested from sect a few days ago, has arrived."

Hearing that, Zhang Yutang immediately raised his eyebrows in joy, only then did he realise that Luo Xiu and Chu Hongling who were standing behind him, were looking at the two of them, the joy in his eyes had instantly decreased by half.

"These two are the reinforcements sent by the sect? "What about the others?"

Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Zhang Yutang looked around and asked.

"There's no one else, just the two of them." Li Yun immediately felt awkward, and anxiously introduced: "This is Senior Sister Chu Hongling, and this is Senior Brother Luo Xiu. The two of them are new to the sect and they are also the victors of this time's sect Trial. "

Luo Xiu and Chu Hongling looked at Li Yun in surprise. They had not told Li Yun about the victor of the trial, it seemed like she also had her own sources of information in the inner sect.

"Oh?"

Zhang Yutang frowned, he could not hide the disappointment in his eyes, and sized the two of them up: "I obviously told sect, the situation this time was extremely dangerous, and sending two new disciples, I'm afraid it would be useless."

"Senior Brother!"

Hearing that, Li Yun became anxious, and immediately stopped Zhang Yutang from speaking, and apologized: Senior Chu, Brother Luo, Brother Luo, please do not take offense to it, Senior Zhang has no ill intentions, he only knows how to concoct pills, and does not know anything else.

Zhang Yutang realized that he spoke incorrectly, and was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

"It's alright, Senior Sister Li, please do not take it to heart."

Luo Xiu knew that Zhang Yutang was a drug addict, and did not understand the wisdom of the world. He would not blame him, but he became more curious: "I wonder why Senior Zhang is asking for help this time?"

Li Yun then let out a sigh of relief, afraid that Zhang Yutang would say something wrong, and stood out: "It's like this, we found a group of people walking around five days ago. At first we didn't notice them, but after we realized it, they were also secretly monitoring us. We suspect that they are trying to snatch the medicinal herbs from the medicinal field, but they have several expert s on their side, and we were afraid that we would not be able to hold them off, hence we requested sect for help. "

Chu Hongling asked curiously: "Could it be that they don't know this is Burning Sun Sect's place?"

Li Yun's face turned serious: "They should know that we've revealed our identities before."

"You still dare to set your sights on us?" Chu Hongling frowned, realizing that something was amiss.

The Burning Sun Sect was one of the The Four Major Sects s and had a huge reputation. Normally, a thief with a small amount of vision would not dare to trespass. Therefore, although the person guarding the herb field was only an outer disciple, he had been safe and sound for many years.

In fact, this was the first time someone had set their eyes on Red Creek Valley's medicinal field ever since it was reclaimed.

"In the Great Zhou Dynasty, other than the royalty, only the Four Great Sects of Triad would dare to make a move on them," Chu Hongling said with a solemn face.

"Senior Chu is overthinking it."

Just as Chu Hongling was thinking about everything, Luo Xiu's words suddenly pulled him back to reality, "If it's really any of the four sects from the Triad, then any of their sent men are enough to take care of any of the Red Creek Valley's guards. The reason they need to secretly watch over them is because they are extremely weak, and definitely not someone from the four sects of the Triad."

Hearing these words, Chu Hongling's face relaxed. If it really was the Four Great Sects of Triad, with her and Luo Xiu's strength, they probably wouldn't have any chance to resist.

"Mn, Brother Luo's words are reasonable."

Li Yun nodded her head, and continued to speak: "Their strength is also very average, about 20-30 people, and they also have Martial Disciple level Cultivation Level, two of them might have reached the Beginner Martial Envoy, and there is even a Leader who did not show himself. We believe that they are Chinese bandit from a nearby mountain. "

"Chinese bandit?" Chu Hongling blinked her eyes in surprise, "Ordinary Chinese bandit, how could they dare to make a move against Burning Sun Sect? Are they blind? "

Li Yun shook her head, as if she could not understand what was going on. Inside Great Zhou Dynasty, other than the royalty and the Four Great Sects, daring to make a move against the Burning Sun Sect was tantamount to courting death.

Luo Xiu suddenly thought of something. "Perhaps, there is something that they are interested in here, something that they want to steal even at the risk of their lives."

At almost the same time, Chu Hongling and the other two looked at Luo Xiu, who was even more confused. "Besides the medicinal ingredients, there's nothing else here!"

Luo Xiu smiled meaningfully: "If they have their eyes on the medicinal herbs, what will happen?"

Li Yun shook her head: "Impossible, although Fructus Flammulae are rare, they are not exactly precious. Although it was a Tier 5 medicine, the amount of Essence Qi it contained was very little and could not be directly absorbed. Normally, it was used to dispel the cold and something else. "No one would be willing to risk their life for these things."

Luo Xiu smiled and did not answer. The moment he stepped into the medicinal field, he had already felt that there was something wrong with the elemental energy of heaven and earth.

That kind of strange aura did indeed come from a medicinal ingredient. Moreover, the density of that fluctuation even caused Luo Xiu to sigh in admiration ?

"Junior brother Luo Xiu, quickly tell me, what did you discover?" The one who asked was Chu Hongling.

Luo Xiu smiled and replied with a question: "Grade five medicine is not worth the risk, what if it is a grade two medicine?"

The three of them were shocked. Tier 2 herbs! Medicinal ingredients of this level were considered precious in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they could be said to be priceless! Even the powers of the Cities would not be able to find a few second-rate medicine ingredients in a year. If they could sell them, then for an average person, they would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their life!

Chu Hongling muttered to himself: "If it really is a second rate medicine, then it is not strange that those Chinese bandit s would come to snatch it. But does the Red Creek Valley really have a second rate medicine?"

This question was also the biggest doubt in the minds of Zhang Yutang and the others. In an instant, the three of them turned their attention back to Luo Xiu, silently waiting for him to solve the riddle.

Luo Xiu laughed, and pointed to a nearby medicine farm: "Of course there is!"
