Since only seven sects lived on Seventh Heaven, each sect had a vast territory.
The mountains that Hao Ren and the others had passed by all belonged to Mystic Sound Faction, but disciples of other sects were allowed to move in here. However, the area that they entered now was the restricted territory of Mystic Sound Faction, and cultivators outside of the faction were not allowed to enter without permission.
“We, Sky Mountain Sect, have the closest relationship with Mystic Sound Faction, and I’ve been here several times. This mountain is called Bull Head Mountain, and the spiritual fields are in here,” Lingwu Master continued.
“Ok.” Hao Ren nodded and released weak sword energies to scout the array formations while he flew over the mountain cautiously.
In the large plain surrounded by mountains, there were colorful spiritual fields where many spiritual herbs lived.
There were buildings along the mountainside, but the scale was almost the same as the sects on Sixth Heaven.
“Is this the whole Mystic Sound Faction?” Hao Ren asked.
“Master, you misunderstood. This is the Bull Head Mountain branch of Mystic Sound Faction, and it’s not a core section,” Lingwu Master explained in a low voice. “The core section of Mystic Sound Faction is a bit far from here.”
Hearing his explanation, Hao Ren understood that Mystic Sound Faction was like a business group with its headquarters and subsidiaries.
This was the spiritual field base or one of the spiritual field bases of Mystic Sound Faction. Since Sky Mountain sect excelled in growing spiritual herbs and provided spiritual herbs to Mystic Sound Faction regularly, they were familiar with this area.
Also, because the spiritual fields were far from the headquarters of Mystic Sound Faction, Lingwu Master was bold enough to accompany Hao Ren to steal the herbs.
Sitting on Little White’s back, Hao Ren looked down at the spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain from the distance while hovering in the sky.
This branch of Mystic Sound Faction branch was as big as Sky Mountain Sect, and many cultivators guarded the spiritual fields while they cultivated, so the other six sects wouldn’t come and harass them.
In fact, among the sects on Seventh Heaven, Mystic Sound Faction was the weakest one in growing spiritual herbs, which was why they had requested Sky Mountain Sect to grow spiritual herbs for them and hand in the products regularly.
Meanwhile, Sky Mountain Sect handed some simpler and low-level spiritual herbs to the affiliated sects on Fifth Heaven such as White Sand Sect.
In reality, Sky Mountain Sect didn’t want to do all this work for Mystic Sound Faction, but they must have a good relationship with Seventh Heaven to gain a solid footing on Six Heaven where competition was fierce.
“Which ones are the Black Herbs?” Hao Ren asked the Lu sisters beside him.
“They have five branches in the shape of a plum flower with a small green ball on the top; their leaves are white,” Lu Lili said while pointing at one of the spiritual fields.
Lingwu Master had been prepared to answer Hao Ren’s question and was surprised at Lu Lili’s familiarity with spiritual herbs.
Hao Ren had thought that the Black Herbs were black, and he was surprised that they were actually white and green.
“The Black Herbs are picky with their growing environment, which is why they can’t grow on Sixth Heaven. They need an abundant amount of nature essence, and the place around them can’t grow other spiritual herbs. The simple way to determine their age is to see the area around them; the ones without any herbs growing near them, not even other Black Herbs, are the most aged ones,” Lu Lili continued.
Hao Ren looked at the direction that she pointed. Sure enough, there were several white spiritual herbs topped with green balls growing alone in a spiritual field, shaking their heavy ‘green heads’ in the wind.
Lingwu Master was impressed. Although his Sky Mountain Sect excelled in growing spiritual herbs, he was surprised that the two maids who were serving the Herb King Master had such knowledge in spiritual herbs.
“Little White, did you hear that?” Hao Ren suddenly lowered his head and pulled up Little White’s ears.
After returning from the Nine Dragon Palace, he had sensed that Little White’s intelligence had improved, and it should understand the general meaning of the Lu sisters’ words.
Little White barked and shrunk to the size of a fist, playing around in Hao Ren’s palm like a furry ball.
“Stop playing!” Hao Ren slapped it on the head lightly and instantly silenced it.
“See those high-level herbs? Bring them to me,” Hao Ren said to Little White.
Little White nodded and whined in submission.
“If you bring them to me, you can eat as many elixir pills as you want,” Hao Ren said while he flicked his fingers on its rump, and Little White almost rolled down the hill.
Lingwu Master looked at Hao Ren in surprise, not expecting that he would send a spirit beast to steal herbs.
“This level 5 snow lion is just as smart if not smarter than my Jitian, and it is even bolder! Even Jitian probably don’t dare to steal herbs on Seventh Heaven, but this level 5 snow lion didn’t even hesitate!” he thought to himself.
“Linlin, Lili! Guard me,” Hao Ren said.
“Ok! Gongzi!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili sat down on both sides of him, cross-legged.
“Senior Lingwu, please watch out for us,” Hao Ren continued.
“Ok…” Lingwu Master nodded dully without a choice.
He, the dignified Ancestral Master of Sky Mountain Sect, was watching out for a herb thief.
Meanwhile, Jitian shrunk to the size of a squirrel and stood on Lingwu Master’s shoulder, watching around warily.
With his realm at only the Core Formation Realm, Lingwu Master wouldn’t catch much attention on Seventh Heaven. Also, Jitian was able to hide his aura further.
When he looked at Hao Ren, he saw the two female cultivators beside him controlling two rings. As these two rings hovered around them, their auras all completely disappeared!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Hao Ren shot out dozens of sword energies ahead of Little White to scout the array formations for it!
Little White ran on the hill like a regular white bunny. When Lingwu Master stared at it, Little White suddenly vanished!
It was a high-level ability of the snow lions – Stealth!
Lingwu Master held his breath in astonishment. With the elevation of levels, the spirit beasts could activate their bloodlines and some innate abilities. For example, level 6 Jitian possessed both fire elements and ice elements, and its roar could suppress Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. However, this level 5 snow lion was able to achieve stealth which only level 6 snow lions were capable of!
With this ability, the spirit beasts could instantly conceal their bodies and auras. If they did it in battles, it was formidable! Except for cultivators with super powerful spirit senses, others couldn’t detect where they were!
Seeing Little White becoming invisible, Hao Ren was also surprised.
Since it possessed both fire elements and ice elements, Little White hadn’t revealed any other abilities.
Hao Ren was surprised that this snow lion was able to achieve stealth at level 5.
If Hao Ren didn’t have the mental connection with it, he wouldn’t be able to find its accurate position!
As a level 5 snow lion, Little White was equivalent to a mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Together with this stealth ability, it could be almost unrivaled!
Hum… A slight ripple appeared before the invisible Little White. It was Hao Ren’s weak sword energies touching the array formation that was created by Mystic Sound Faction.
A realm-breaking note was shot out from Hao Ren’s hand, floating toward the array formation steadily close to the ground.
Pop.
With a slight crisp sound, the array formation had a small crack in it, and the invisible Little White crawled through.
It was perfect teamwork.
Lingwu Master widened his eyes in astonishment. If he hadn’t stared at the direction of the Black Herb Spiritual Fields, he wouldn’t have noticed the small fluctuation in the space around the array formation.
The remaining sword energies accompanied Little White forward and met another array formation beside a big spiritual field.
Hao Ren shot another realm-breaking note through the crack in the first array formation and quickly broke the second array formation as well.
As ultimate treasures, the realm-breaking notes could break any array formation, but only Hao Ren who could control sword energies could send the notes forward close to the ground.
Lingwu Master tensed up when he saw Hao Ren breaking the second array formation from a distance. “The Herb King Master is indeed powerful! He can even easily break the array formations around the spiritual fields on Seventh Heaven! And the cultivators of Mystic Sound Faction nearby didn’t sense any disturbance!” he thought.
Soon, Little White had arrived at the edge of one Black Herb Spiritual Field.
Hum!
A small red light flashed nearby while Hao Ren shot the third realm-breaking note to break the third array formation.
Little White couldn’t control its demonic essence anymore and returned to its puppy form. It grabbed a 10,000-year-old Black Herb and pawed the soil with all its force.
It was fortunate that Little White had a small size that was not noticeable to the cultivators of Mystic Sound Faction.
Little White pulled out one 10,000-year-old Black Herb before running to another 10,000-year-old Black Herb in the center of another Black Herb Spiritual Field.
It used the same method and dug out another herb.
Not daring to eat the 10,000-year-old Black Herbs that Hao Ren wanted, it swallowed a nearby 1,000-year Black Herb, and the intense nature essence gave it a great refreshing feeling all over its body.
10,000-year-old Black Herbs were one of the top-tier level 6 spiritual herbs in the cultivation world, and only sects on Seventh Heaven had enough resources to grow them on in large quantities. However, not all level 6 spiritual herbs could grow here. It just happened that a piece of land in Mystic Sound Faction was fitting for the growth of the Black Herbs, and the faction grew several 10,000-year-old Black Herbs.
Little White had dug out five herbs in the blink of an eye, and its small mouth was almost full. However, it wanted to dig out one for itself, so it ran deeper into the field and quickly pulled out another.
The most precious spiritual herbs in this branch of Mystic Sound Faction were almost all dug out by Little White in the blink of an eye.
While Little White was recovering its demonic essence and about to go back to its invisible form, the 10,000-year-old Black Herb that it had just dug out triggered a trap!
The root of this 10,000-year-old Black Herb was connected to a thin thread!
Boom!
A huge golden cage fell from the sky.
With six 10,000-year-old Black herbs in its mouth, Little White tried to run but bumped onto the edge of the golden cage which shot out flashing lightning bolts and shook Little White out of invisibility!
Hao Ren didn’t expect that they would fail at the last moment.
Mystic Sound Faction had set not only array formations but traps as well!
Seeing the cultivators of Mystic Sound Faction getting the alert and flying toward the Black Herb Spiritual Fields, Hao Ren stood up and flew over without hesitation!
