Chapter 1438: Chapter 691: Chaos Green Lotus

"Since Brother Chen’s cultivation has broken through, and his strength has greatly advanced, perhaps we can obtain more resources this time in our hunting expedition."

The Wind Divine Monarch suggested to Chen Mu.

By this point in their hunting expedition, they had already killed eight exotic beasts. According to the usual hunting conventions, hunting eight exotic beasts was typically sufficient. Continuing to hunt further would often mean the risk and reward wouldn’t align, and they usually returned to the city to distribute profits after hunting around seven to eight beasts.

However, Chen Mu has now broken through in his realm, and he also hides the Perfect Divine Body, which means he possesses the strength of Double Vein Perfection. As a result, the entire hunting team’s capability to handle risks has greatly increased. Previously when they encountered an insect tide, they were able to escape. Under such circumstances, it’s natural that they can confidently hunt more prey, aiming for around fourteen or fifteen beasts.

However,

The specific number of beasts hunted in the past was always a decision made by the Wind Divine Monarch after discussing with everyone. But this time, whether it was the Wind Divine Monarch or the Guanglie Divine Monarch from the Wind Association, they all looked towards Chen Mu, clearly intending to follow his opinion.

Chen Mu pondered for a moment and said, "In Brother Wind’s opinion, how many exotic beasts would be appropriate to hunt?"

Since he had already revealed his strength of Double Vein Perfection and did not intend to leave the Wind Association, Chen Mu naturally wouldn’t hold back. Hunting more exotic beasts meant obtaining more resources.

Source Stones, such as these, are never too plentiful. Although Source Stones do not vary by quality, a large amount of them can be used to purchase some special rare flowers and herbs in Wuxiang City, which also have the effect of aiding comprehension of the Dao, often with greater effectiveness.

"With Brother Chen here, hunting fourteen or fifteen exotic beasts shouldn’t be a problem. However, given that we encountered an insect tide earlier, we should be more cautious. How about just hunting four more?"

The Wind Divine Monarch suggested after a brief consideration, addressing Chen Mu.

The more exotic beasts hunted, the greater the risk—this is a consensus. After all, the risks to face are varied, including various disasters and dangers as well as human complications. There’s also a greater chance of being targeted by powerful exotic beasts, such as that Black Snake Beast they encountered before.

With a presence like Chen Mu, who has the strength of Double Vein Perfection, the hunting team’s risk tolerance could approximately increase to handle hunting around fourteen or fifteen exotic beasts. But since it was their first time seeing Chen Mu in action, there was no need to rush; a gradual assessment could be made.

"Alright then."

Chen Mu had no objections to the Wind Divine Monarch’s suggestion.

The others, including the Guanglie Divine Monarch, naturally had no objections either. After all, Chen Mu had already secured the majority of the resource gains, so the more they hunted, the more resources there would be for them to share.

Soon,

The group left the eroded water area and set off again towards the direction of the Wuxiang River.

In the area around Wuxiang City, hunting or seeking other gains generally followed certain patterns. The closer one got to the Wuxiang River, the more exotic beasts were available for hunting and the easier it was to obtain resources, but it also became more dangerous. Conversely, the farther one was from the river, the safer it became, as most exotic beasts seemed unlikely to stray far from the Wuxiang River.

However, moving away from the Wuxiang River, it was often difficult to find any resources, so risk and reward always coexisted.

Having previously experienced the disaster of an insect tide, everyone acted more cautiously during this operation, taking a roundabout route to avoid the area where the insect tide occurred before.

And just about when they circled around and approached a section near the Wuxiang River,

leading the team, Chen Mu suddenly noticed something ahead.

"Hmm?"

"Oh."

The Wind Divine Monarch beside him also looked in the same direction. At this time, both of them could see, approximately over a thousand feet away, beyond the range of void perception, a marshland that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

The marshland was about thirty feet away from the Wuxiang River, with a mysterious, faint glow intermittently flashing at its center.

"Is there something unusual?!"

The Guanglie Divine Monarch and others behind also noticed the distant situation, and their eyes lit up instantly.

By the Wuxiang River, there were things far more valuable than exotic beasts. These were the rare flowers and herbs that occasionally appeared, which fetched exceedingly high prices in Wuxiang City. Even the most ordinary of them could be worth tens of thousands of Source Stones!

If something of that nature could be found during a hunting expedition, its value would often exceed dozens or even hundreds of hunts!

"Indeed, blessings and calamities are intertwined."

Seeing the peculiar marshland, the Wind Divine Monarch couldn’t help but smile. Having just weathered the disaster of an insect tide, fortune indeed turned quickly in their favor as they soon encountered precious resources.

Overjoyed, the group immediately headed towards that marshland.

"It’s clear now; it should be a Chaos Green Lotus!"

As they approached the marshland, everyone could clearly see the strange plant growing in the center. It was a blue lotus platform, continually emitting chaotic faint light. Upon seeing it, everyone was overjoyed.

The Chaos Green Lotus is one of the exceedingly precious spirit plants. In Wuxiang City, a single lotus can sell for almost hundreds of thousands of Source Stones, often being priceless and difficult to purchase!

The reason lies in this spirit plant’s extremely special effects; its Enlightenment Green Lotus Seed can significantly enhance one’s understanding of the Origin Dao over some period, and when combined with Source Stones for Dao comprehension, its effectiveness is incredible.
