The thing Danny asked for made Emma's phoenix-like eyes instantly open: "What are you trying to do?."
"Does this mean you actually have a way to get your hands on it?" Danny asked hopefully, after seeing that Emma had not immediately outright rejected him.
Emma slightly furrowed her eyebrows, and started to slowly speak: "a Sky Profound Ki Realm beast's core can only be obtained after killing the beast. And how many people in the Black Water Empire could actually successfully hunt a beast training in the ways of the Profound? Even in Joyful Flower Palace, one who could do that would certainly be quite rare. it is a priceless treasure that even the Four Major Sects would go crazy for! Even one would be worth more than ten years of a person's cultivation. That thing, don't even mention me, even if it was the Master seeking it, it would still be almost very rare to obtain."
Danny's chest heaved up and down as he closed his eyes, silent for a long time.
"What are you planning to do with the core?" Emma asked spontaneously.
"Repair my profound Ki vein." Replied Danny.
"…I am unable to help you with the core." At the same time, Emma said that, she did not believe that a beast core could repair a profound Ki vein. Otherwise, there was no way her master would not know this method and why the hell is he not asking for her method, the more she is with him the more she could not understand him.
Danny shook his head as if it did not matter: "The beast core are not things that an ordinary person could obtain, I was only casually asking about them." After a small pause, he spoke again in a little small voice: "Wife, after you return to Joyful Flower Palace, will we ever meet again?"
"Do not call me wife again! My name is Emma!" Emma said as her voice pitched higher and her voice got colder.
Indifferent, Danny spoke in a carefree tone: "I married you and you married me. We have already bowed in the face of heaven and earth with thousands of people as our witness. We have also went through the entire wedding process. I am now your husband and you are my wife. If I don't call you wife, what else would I call you?"
"..." Emma became speechless. After a while, she indifferently spoke: "Whatever, suit yourself."
Danny suddenly grinned broadly… this wife was untouchable, but had no conversational skills!
"You still haven't answered my previous question… When you return to Joyful Flower Palace, will we meet again?"Danny asked again.
"No." Emma replied.
"Good!"Danny nodded his head and leaned his head against the wall as he closed his eyes: "In fact, you should return to Joyful Flower Palace as early as possible and not have to worry about me. For someone as talented as you are, you should not stay in this little Floating Stone City and also not be tied down by me. When you leave, your status of being a disciple of Joyful Flower Palace would become public. At least in this Floating Stone City, no one would dare to hurt me and I would live more comfortably… Oh right, you should not have any objections about my opinion?"
"….As you wish." Emma said, expressionless.
"Mmm, this is more like it, since you would never see me again. If you do not let me get a concubine, I might really divorce you."
The forgiving Emma's heart was as calm as water but she had a spontaneous urge to kick him out of the room.
At the same time, she suddenly saw Danny stand up and walk to the door. She hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?"
"Can't sleep, I'm going out to watch the stars." As Danny answered her question, his heart groaned… This woman, how about you squat down here in the middle of the night. Let's see if you can sleep that way!
Emma did not speak anymore and Danny opened the door as he proceeded to walk outside.
It was in the middle of the night and all was still. Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Danny looked at the sky full of stars with a determined expression in his eyes. However, deep inside, he was at a loss with an unsettling and perplexing unease.
Today was the first day he had been reborn. Although his mind had changed greatly if compared to the past, with a change that could even be said to have turned the world upside down, even his strong mind could not find a way to get out of his current damaged Profound Ki Vein situation.
If he could obtain the core of an Sky Profound Ki Realm's beast, he would have more than a 50% success rate when repairing his Profound Ki Vein with help of the Xtermas Virus. However, with his current ability, to even see the core he needed was prohibitively difficult.
After all, only the strong were respected in this world. Without enough power, achieving what one wants was but only just an illusion.
What was he suppose to do…
Suddenly, a slight throbbing sensation came from Danny's chest. He subconsciously raised his collar and saw impressive glimmers of rapid flashing faint light come from the Xtremas Virus pattern in his Chest.
Danny's eyes contracted as he turned around, facing north.
"This is…."
In addition to being poisonous and having a strong refining capability, the Xtermas Virus had an additional ability. It had the special kind of ability that could sense nearby toxic medicinal herb ingredients! If within a certain distance from a highly toxic ingredient or drug, it would perceive where it would be, emit flashing light, and point in it's target's location… . The level of sensing that the Xtremas Virus had was unrivaled. If compared, the highest level that a person could reach achieve would not even reach that of the Xtremas Virus's.
Although this was its first day on the Profound Still water Continent, the Xtremas Virus actually had such an induction! Even this place hid a secret hidden treasure?
The Xtremas Virus's targeted direction was to the north… which was the direction of Radd Clan's mountain.
Danny had his own little courtyard, it's location could be said to be the most dangerous out of all the Radd Clan's property. This is because over his courtyard walls, laid the mountains. This mountain was still actually the private property of the Radd Clan. The occasional wandering low level profound beast would break into the courtyard by climbing over it's walls. And if one wanted to come from the back of the mountain and sneak in to make this area it's own, that would be a very good choice. However, in the face of the Radd Clan's power in Floating Stone City, no one has ever dared to have done that to this very day.
Danny did not hesitate and directly climbed over the wall. Although his profound strength was low, climbing over a wall of three meters was no problem.
The mountain area was quiet and somber, and if it was the previous Danny, he absolutely would not come here in the middle of the night. The moon in the sky was still hanging up high and the countless stars there were also not that dim. Danny glanced all around him and when he was sure there was no one in sight, he tread softly in the direction the Xtremas Virus was pointing toward.
The mountain under the light of the moon seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist, making it seem both mysterious and dangerous. Not long after, Danny arrived at the foot of the mountain. In this place, the Xtremas Virus's flickering light was at it's highest frequency. Danny stopped and wondered… was it around here? But this was clearly only the foot of the mountain area. Radd Clan pharmacists must pass through here everyday so how could it even grow here? Whether it be a heavenly treasure or a somewhat decent type of medicine, it would have been found already; why would it wait for him to find it for harvest.
However, the Xtremas Virus had indeed reached this rapid frequency which meant that the target would be at least ten footsteps away.
In the moonlight, Danny's brow tightened as his eyes slowly and carefully searched every inch of the land around him.
Under normal circumstances, the more precious the medicinal herb was, the more dangerous and extreme the place it grew would be. At first glance, this area at the foot of the mountain was covered entirely in weeds and Danny could not help but be tempted to suspect that there was a problem with the Xtremas Virus's natural sense.
As his eyes carefully scanned the ground in a circle, aside from only weeds, Danny could not find even the most common of medicinal herbs. Right when he was about to give up, his eyes suddenly landed on a place with some kind of indistinct variety.
The Danny of today had a sharp intuition. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the uncomfortable feeling that he suddenly felt for the first time in this world. There was a mass amount of weeds there as well, but a certain weed at the edge of a rock that had not been trampled had caught his attention. Danny walked to the rock's side and squatted down next to it and stared at the mass of weeds for a long time. Firmly locked in the middle of all those weeds were… smaller weeds with a tenacious amount of vitality. Without interference, one can say that they are clinging on to dear life by rooting at every opening available. In the middle of those untraveled weeds was an even smaller chasm. The hole was very small for only two blades of grass grew there. However, if one looked closely, it was apparent that the grass there was significantly different than that of the other weeds around them.
A gust of the gentle night breeze blew by, swaying the small weeds in the area. At this time, Danny's eyes had been firmly locked onto the small hole and suddenly saw the bizarre form of those three blades of grass… they appeared in a blink of an eye and then disappeared, without a trace.
Xiao Che's eyes widened and he was suddenly filled with ecstasy. He quickly stretched out his left palm and activated the Xtremas Virus towards the little hole. Under the faint green light, the three blades of grass slowly appeared again.
"Heaven Concealing Grass! It really is Heaven Concealing Grass! And there were even Three of them!" Danny excited growled in a low voice as he lowered his left hand with the intention of uprooting them. The Xtremas Virus flashed and the three blades of Heaven Concealing Grass were recovered, in the palm of Xiao Che's hand.
The high quality the medicinal herb was, the harder it was to harvest for even the slightest mistake during harvesting may cause damage to the materials and lower it's efficiency or even complete destroy it's effectiveness. But with the Xtremas Virus, no matter how complicated the herb, one had no need to worry. The Xtremas Virus could harvest a herb without bringing any possible harmful side effects by using it's aura, completely wrapping around a herb without any sort of spiritual power leakage.
"Instead of saying that it was a surprise, it's better to say that this was a miracle!" Looking at the three blades of Heaven Concealing Grass that were partly hidden in the palm of his hand, Danny's arm quivered in excitement. In his entire twenty-four year life, Danny didn't have any knowledge of profound Ki herbs but thanks to his second set of memories in which Danny was had gone through all the medicinal scriptures to repair his profound ki veins knew how rare a single blade of Heaven concealing grass was , it could conceal the use from everything under the heaven. However, on only the first day that he came to the Profound Still water Continent, he had actually found three! And it was in his own family's back mountains!
One could say that there was no difference when comparing the differences between a Heaven Concealing Grass and the common weed, for it was almost impossible to differentiate between the two even if one tried. At the same time, it had a very unusual ability… it could become invisible! In a way, it meant that if one wanted to find one, it would be even more difficult to do. In his memories he knew that the Heaven Concealing Grass was an treasure of the heavens and earth, but there were few who knew of it's existence.
"This is truly the heaven's grace assisting me. Owning these 3 blades of Heaven Concealing Grass is equivalent to having a surefire trump card! After refining them into Xtermas Virus, my life would be insured even if I wanted to kill or rob people… I could do whatever I wanted to!" Danny laughed as he clenched the Heaven Concealing Grass in the palm of his hand and sent it into Xtremas Virus.
The flashing light that came from the Xtremas Virus stopped completely after he did that. The happy Danny no longer had a reason to linger any longer and turned to go back home. As he was turning around, a cold light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye.
Danny stopped in his tracks to turn in the direction of the cold light. In the not too dim moonlight, he saw a vague blurry mass less than fifty meters north of him. It was an obscure white shadow.
What was it?
