Chapter 25

An ordinary green-eyed wolf is already a second-stage fierce beast, and this green-eyed wolf king, judging by its size, should be at least a third stage, or even possibly a fourth stage.

"Ow!" As Ye Feng was carefully observing, suddenly, two of the outer green-eyed wolves howled wildly, and in an instant, they shot into the nearby weeds like arrows released from a bow.

"Woof woof..." In no time, a low, mournful cry came from the weeds. Soon, the two green-eyed wolves dragged a sword-backed wild boar, which was even larger than they were, back.

The two green-eyed wolves dragged the sword-backed wild boar to the front of the green-eyed wolf king and howled wildly twice. However, the green-eyed wolf king didn't even lift its head; with a kick of its hind legs, the large sword-backed wild boar was kicked several meters away.

The other green wolves, seeing the king's actions, howled and pounced. In a moment, the entire sword-backed wild boar was reduced to a pile of bones.

Seeing this, Ye Feng felt a chill in his heart. The sword-backed wild boar was also a first-stage fierce beast, yet it had no resistance at all.

With this group of green-eyed wolves around, Ye Feng knew that his hunting plan here was doomed to fail. Helplessly, he quietly slid down from the boulder, planning to leave.

Just as Ye Fei was about to withdraw, he suddenly noticed a patch of weeds covering several acres. These weeds were all over half a meter tall. At first, he didn't pay much attention, as there were weeds everywhere.

However, suddenly, Ye Fei's eyes widened: "Huh? What's that? Damn, black grass, red blood grass, wolf flame flower, fairy fruit... they're all so big? How many years must they have been growing here?"

It turned out that when he looked closely at the weeds, he realized that these were not just weeds, but medicinal herbs.

Although the herbs were ordinary, each one was over half a meter tall!

After all, these herbs usually only grow to about half a foot tall. Now, they were half a meter tall, which definitely required at least a hundred years, or even longer.

Some herbs, even if they were ordinary, as long as they were old enough and potent, were no less valuable than precious herbs.

After all, these ordinary herbs could be used as auxiliary ingredients in many formulas. For example, the auxiliary ingredients in the elixir formulas Ye Feng had, such as the Qi Condensation Pill and the Spirit Power Pill, were all here.

Originally, Ye Fei planned to buy some at the market, as these things were not rare and were not expensive. He never expected to find so many high-quality herbs here.

Herbs grown like this were more potent than a hundred ordinary herbs.

"This is mine, and I won't give it to anyone. Such a medicinal garden is something I can't even dream of!" Looking at the herbs in front of him, Ye Feng secretly resolved in his heart.

In Ye Fei's eyes at this moment, these herbs were already his private property, and no one could touch them. If anyone tried, he would fight to the death.

Ye Feng glanced back at the green-eyed wolf pack. Seeing that they were still some distance away, he carefully crawled through the weeds.

Wealth comes with risk. With so many herbs, it would be a waste not to take some. Ordinary herbs are hard to find in such high quality because they are constantly harvested. This place was probably left untouched due to the green-eyed wolf pack, and it was deep in the outer part of the Tianlang Mountains, where even martial artists couldn't carry all the materials from fierce beasts, let alone ordinary herbs.

Even if they could carry them, martial artists might not recognize them.

After all, what martial artists remember are usually precious items. There are hundreds or even thousands of ordinary herbs, and who could remember them all? Even some low-level alchemists might not be able to remember them all.

These high-quality herbs, in Ye Feng's view, were more valuable than the materials from fierce beasts.

"Damn, this is crazy. How did they grow like this?" Ye Feng crawled into the herb garden, looking at the herbs that were taller than he was, and broke off a branch to chew on, his face filled with shock.

Especially when he got close, damn, this could drive him mad. Several acres! The more Ye Feng thought about it, the more he was reluctant to leave.

Ye Fei crawled on the ground, inching forward in the herb garden. Even though he was lying down, it felt like he was inspecting his own property. He touched every herb with his hands. Suddenly, Ye Feng saw a red plant about half a foot tall among the herbs.

"Damn, what's this doing here?"

Looking at the red plant, Ye Fei's eyes widened in surprise.

He never thought he would find one so easily here. After all, this red plant, called Blood Spirit Grass, was already a precious item, the main ingredient for refining the Spirit Power Pill, and was not considered an ordinary herb.

Ye Feng calmed down and carefully dug up the herb from its roots, putting it in his backpack.

"Damn, even Spirit Origin Grass is here?" After a while, Ye Fei suddenly found a green plant inside, and he was once again shocked.

This Spirit Origin Grass was the main ingredient for refining the Qi Condensation Pill! It was here too?

Seeing the Blood Spirit Grass and Spirit Origin Grass in the herb garden instantly filled Ye Feng with energy. This was something he could only dream of.

A single Blood Spirit Grass or Spirit Origin Grass would cost tens of thousands of silver.

After putting the Spirit Origin Grass in his backpack, Ye Feng continued to search.

Finding these two spiritual herbs gave him a great boost, and naturally, he didn't want to stop. Who wouldn't want more of such spiritual herbs?

After several hours, Ye Feng had almost searched the entire herb garden, which covered several acres, and he had a bountiful harvest: over ten Blood Spirit Grass and twenty Spirit Origin Grass.

Looking at the spiritual herbs in his backpack, Ye Feng felt like he was in a dream.

Although these were not high-grade spiritual herbs, it was already a stroke of luck to find one, and now he had over thirty in total, which seemed almost unbelievable.

"This is truly a treasure land!"

Even Ye Feng, who had stood at the peak in his previous life, couldn't remain calm.

Soon, Ye Feng fell into deep thought, feeling that there was something wrong with this place.

"Could this really be a medicinal garden?" Suddenly, Ye Feng thought of a possibility.

When this thought appeared in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he believed it. After all, this place was too strange, with not only spiritual herbs but also ordinary herbs that seemed to grow in harmony with the spiritual herbs.

However, looking at the state of the place, it seemed to have been abandoned, otherwise, the garden wouldn't be overgrown with weeds. What puzzled him was who had built this medicinal garden here, and why it had been abandoned.

Ye Feng wouldn't get stuck on things he couldn't figure out. He glanced at the lake, seeing that the green-eyed wolves had no intention of coming over, and gathered a large bundle of herbs.

If someone knew that such herbs were being bundled, they would probably be stunned.

Standing on a hill, Ye Feng saw the sky gradually darken and knew that it was no longer suitable to stay here.

The green-eyed wolves were fierce beasts that were active at night. There was little difference between day and night for them, which was also the origin of the name "green-eyed."

Ye Feng didn't dare to provoke such a large group of them, and he had a vague idea that with such a group of beasts around, the medicinal garden would be relatively safe.

At the very least, even a group of low-level martial artists wouldn't dare to provoke these green-eyed wolves.

At this moment, Ye Feng had already considered this place his private medicinal garden, and the green-eyed wolves were its guardians.

After quietly leaving a distance, Ye Feng sprinted away.

Before the sky was completely dark, he found a cave, the den of a first-stage fierce beast, the Iron-Arm Bear. The Iron-Arm Bear was known for its immense strength and thick, tough skin, making it difficult for a first-stage martial artist to harm it.

Of course, for Ye Feng, it was no challenge. With his 3,000 jin (about 1,500 kg) of strength, equivalent to a third-stage martial artist, the Iron-Arm Bear's strong defense was like paper to him, and he pierced its throat with one thrust.

After occupying the cave, Ye Feng found a large rock to block the entrance. The night was when fierce beasts were most active, so Ye Feng was cautious. Even if he were two levels stronger, he wouldn't dare to be complacent here.

The next day, after the sky brightened, Ye Feng came out of the cave.

Although Ye Fei had only been in the mountains for two days, his harvest was enormous. Not to mention the thirty spiritual herbs, he had gathered a large bundle of ordinary herbs, and the materials from the Iron-Arm Bear left him with no more space to carry anything else.

Therefore, he considered and decided to leave the mountains. If he only had the materials from fierce beasts, he might have stayed for a few more days, but with these spiritual herbs, he didn't dare to stay any longer. The value of these herbs was too astonishing.

These things, if used well, were the key to his and his brother Ye Hao's rise, and he couldn't afford any mistakes.

With this in mind, Ye Feng, carrying his things, sprinted out of the mountains.
