Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money

349 Serene Orchid Silver Grass

In the quiet forest, only the sound of leaves being stepped on could be heard. One was light, the other heavy. It was Ye Xuan and A’tian. With Ye Xuan’s speed, they should have arrived yesterday, but he was traveling with A’tian. A’tian’s cultivation was low, so the journey was delayed for a few days.

“After we pass through this forest, we should be able to reach the Valley of Medicine Masters,” said A’tian animatedly.

The two of them were walking in front when A’tian suddenly stopped and sniffed around.

Seeing A’tian behave like that, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

A’tian scratched his head and asked, “Young Master, do you smell a very special scent?”

Ye Xuan frowned and asked, “A special scent?” He carefully observed his surroundings and did not find anything unusual. He shook his head and said, “I didn’t.”

A’tian mumbled, “Is there something wrong with my sense of smell?” Then, he smiled in embarrassment and said, “I might have made a mistake.”

Although he said that, Ye Xuan could tell from his subtle expression and the slight movement of his nose that there really was a strange fragrance in the air that Ye Xuan couldn’t smell.

This abnormality made Ye Xuan a little vigilant. He asked, “Wait, what kind of scent did you smell?”

“It has the fishy smell of soil and a little medicinal fragrance. I can’t really describe it.”

What A’tian said was true. If it was really an illusion, then it was too realistic. Also, why was he the only one who smelled it and Ye Xuan didn’t notice at all?

One had to know that Ye Xuan’s cultivation was profound, and his divine sense was even more powerful than A’tian’s. If there was even the slightest abnormality nearby, Ye Xuan would be able to detect it.

“This matter is a little strange.”

Hearing this, A’tian couldn’t help but feel nervous. “I can’t be poisoned, right? or have I fallen into some kind of illusion?”

“That’s impossible. I’m traveling with you. It’s impossible that I didn’t have any reaction when you fell for it. Furthermore, there weren’t any poisonous creatures or arrays along the way.”

Even Ye Xuan was a little puzzled and didn’t understand what was going on.

“What should we do now? Is there something wrong with my body?”

Ye Xuan used his divine sense to check and found that A’tian’s body was normal. After thinking for a while, he said, “You lead the way. Let’s see where that smell is coming from.”

He wanted to see what it was that was acting so mysterious that only A’tian could smell it. Could it be that he was too weak?

A’tian nodded. He had Ye Xuan by his side anyway, so he wasn’t afraid.

“It seems to be this way.”

Ye Xuan followed behind A’tian, paying attention to the movements around him at all times, but he didn’t find any footprints of demonic beasts.

The surrounding environment grew darker and darker. There were large trees that blocked out the sky and the sun. Faint sunlight fell through the gaps between the leaves, forming spots of light on the ground.

“The smell is even stronger here.”

Although their surroundings were calm, Ye Xuan didn’t dare to take it lightly.

The vegetation here was lush, and thick vines clung to the trees. They were as thick as an adult’s arm, and they twisted like water bucket-sized snakes. A’tian was almost shocked, thinking that it was some kind of demonic beast.

Looking in the direction A’tian was pointing at, Ye Xuan waved out a wave of spiritual power and pushed aside the grass. He secretly accumulated power in his hand. If there were any strange movements, he would destroy everything in front of him.

Without the cover of the weeds and vines, the light blue grass appeared in front of A’tian and Ye Xuan. The weak branches and leaves swayed in the wind, and the two green leaves were like small fans, giving people a warm and harmless feeling.

“The smell is coming from this.”

Ye Xuan scanned the surroundings with his divine sense and made sure there were no poisonous creatures before walking up to examine the plant in front of him. “It looks like a serene orchid silver grass.”

A’tian also moved closer to the plant to observe. “What is serene orchid silver grass?”

The serene orchid silver grass was a top-grade seventh-level spiritual plant and had extremely high value. A mature plant could emit a strange fragrance, but it was also highly toxic, attracting powerful demonic beasts. If a demonic beast ate it by mistake, the corpse would be absorbed by the roots and become fertilizer.

Therefore, the serene orchid silver grass was also known as the serene orchid corrosive grass. Although it sounded scary, as long as one paid attention to it and removed the poisonous part, it was an indispensable part of refining supreme-grade medicinal pills. Moreover, when it was not mature, it did not carry poison.

“Then it must be very precious.”

A’tian smacked his lips. After listening to Ye Xuan’s introduction, he didn’t expect the unremarkable grass to be so powerful when it matured.

Ye Xuan nodded and gave A’tian a strange look.

Logically speaking, the serene orchid silver grass wasn’t mature yet, so it shouldn’t give off any scent. Why could A’tian smell it, but he couldn’t? This was something worth pondering over.

A’tian observed the plants in front of him. Probably because Ye Xuan’s gaze was too obvious, he turned his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, “Young Master, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”

“Have you ever seen the serene orchid silver grass before?”

A’tian shook his head and replied, “You must be joking. I’ve never seen such a precious plant.”

Not to mention the serene orchid silver grass, for a small fry like A’tian, who had previously crawled and rolled in Jade City and was at the bottom of society, medicinal pills were a luxury to him. People like him had no money to buy them at all. Even if they were injured, they could only bandage their injuries.

“There aren’t any other demonic beasts in the vicinity. I think it’s because the serene orchid silver grass hasn’t matured yet. If it had matured, who knows how many corpses would be buried under this soil.”

Thinking of that, A’tian couldn’t help but move to the side. His expression was a little unnatural. He said, “This is too brutal. I can’t believe that a small spiritual plant can be so powerful.”

Ye Xuan chuckled. “It’s just a plant’s instinct to protect itself. You’ll know in the future that there will be demonic beasts around high-level spiritual plants. It’s not surprising.”
