Chapter 194: Bright Snow Lotus
Looking around, Sang Qiuliu sighed. She looked at the injured and gave strict orders.
” Everyone, Gather around and help the injured. Apply healing medicine and patch their wounds.”
” Meanwhile, Everyone else, Cut the wolf carcass and their nails. Especially the Alpha. We need to carry its entire body back!”
Jia Hao understood Sang Qiuliu’s reasons. After all, a single wolf can fetch more than ten thousand taels of gold at once. It’s because the fur, bones, and nails of these Green Eyed Wolves are precious.
The fur can be made into clothes or armor and the nails are crafting materials. The fresh flesh of beasts also contains nutritional values.
Not to mention, their green eyes can be crystalized and used as jewels.
As for the Alpha, he can fetch around a hundred thousand taels of gold at once.
” Well, Shall I help?”
Jia Hao took a dagger as he activated his Swift Dagger Arts. Using his Sage’s Divine Eyes, he easily ripped apart the fur from the skin of the wolves.
It took him barely ten minutes before he completely deboned the entire wolf, separating everything precisely.
” My my, Such precision. I never thought a noble like you has such swift deboning skill.” Sang Qiuliu couldn’t help but click her tongue.
After all, most of the nobles never dirty their hands in such work. But Jia Hao’s deboning speed was very fast, similar to a seasoned adventurer who knows the way to collect material from a beast.
” Well, It’s nothing. I just happen to have some skills with daggers, that’s all.” Jia Hao shrugged.
However, Jia Hao was grinning inside. After this hunt, his Miracle Point already reached 3500. The alpha wolf alone gave him 500 Miracle Points.
Not to mention, the blood vitality absorbed from the beasts made a slight progress as the meter showed 1% in the Pot of Miracle.
‘ This greedy pot. Do I really need to kill Innate Realm masters and devour their bodies?’ Jia Hao cursed in his mind.
However, the other gains in this battle were some new skill cards.
[ Sharp Senses Skill Shard] 10x
[ Do you wish to fuse them?]
Jia Hao nodded as the shards fused, making a complete skill card. As he absorbed it, Jia Hao suddenly felt a qualitative transformation in his body.
His eyesight improved slightly, making things more astute. However, what increased was the sensitivity of his other four senses.
‘ My nose, ear, tongue, and skin…Everything feels so sensitive. So, this is the instinct of a beast?’
After that, Jia Hao saw two hovering cards, and asked him to pick one. He realized both of them were from the alpha wolf.
[ Howl of Intimidation (Mid Grade)]
[ Domination Aura (Low Grade)]
Jia Hao thought for a moment as he weighed the pros and cons of both skills.
‘ There are many martial arts which use voice as a lethal weapon. However, if I pick this, It might rouse some suspicion.’
‘ Besides, Other than frontal confrontation, this skill is pretty much useless.’
‘ However, The Domination Aura, although it’s a low grade skill…It has better uses. I can use it on both humans and beasts.’
Jia Hao nodded as he picked the Domination Aura. Although he didn’t feel anything, he could feel he could activate his aura just with a thought.
Zhou Yan’s eyelid twitched as he saw Jia Hao deboning more and more wolves. Li Qing noticed his expression. ” What is it?”
” That brat…He looks a bit different? As if he suddenly transformed…”
” Huh? I don’t see anything though?” Li Qing was confused.
” Maybe it’s my misconception.” Zhou Yan shook his head. ” But, I suddenly felt like Jia Hao’s aura suddenly became very…dominant and wild, just like the alpha wolf we found earlier.”
” I believe we should look for the herbs first?” Li Qing walked toward Sang Qiuliu and spoke. ” Besides, Won’t the blood attract other beasts?”
” The wolves are pretty territorial. For another pack to arrive here, It will take quite some time.” Sang Qiuliu explained. ” However, You are right. As they are deboning the corpses, we can go and look for the herb.”
” As we have heard, the person saw the Bright Snow Lotus beyond the waterfall.”
Jia Hao got up as he wiped his hands off the blood. ” Very well, We should go there then.”
Reaching the pool, Jia Hao looked at it. The pond was deep and the water was clear. And it looked fresh and clean, urging someone to jump down and take a bath.
[ Enriched Spring Water: Ordinary pool water enriched with energy seeping from a spatial crack. It has a mild healing effect]
Jia Hao’s expression changed when he read the description of the pool water.
‘ What? Spatial crack? Here?’
” What is it, Young Master Jia?” Sang Qiuliu asked Jia Hao. Jia Hao simply shook his head.
” I just felt the water in this pool was a bit…odd. Like, it’s full of energy and healing property.” Jia Hao answered. ” Maybe, our soldiers can wash their wounds here?”
” Huh? Is that so?”
Zhou Yan bent down and touched the water. ” He is right, The water is indeed carrying faint worldly energy. It’s good for the wounded soldiers to wash their wounds.”
Sang Qiuliu and Li Qing were stunned when they heard Zhou Yan’s words.
” Wow, Young Lord Jia’s observations are pretty astute.” Li Qing chuckled. ” If that’s the case, why don’t you find the cave to us?”
Jia Hao laughed as he pointed in a direction. ” It’s not hard to find. There you go.”
Li Qing’s laugh paused as he looked at the direction Jia Hao was pointing. ” Wait, Really?”
Zhou Yan and Li Qing moved as they followed that direction. The waterfall was loud as it covered the entire area. However, only after standing at the right spot, one could see the faint outline of a cave behind the waterfall.
Both Zhou Yan and Li Qing saw that as Li Qing pointed his finger. ” There! I can see something glowing!”
” That should be the Bright Snow Lotus!”
Walking forward, Zhou Yan took the lead as he slowly entered the cave. The waterfall was strong and the ground was slippery. However, Zhou Yan’s steps remained firm as he helped Li Qing to come there.
” Young Lord, Please be careful!”
” No, I must see it!”
Li Qing’s steps staggered as the terrain was rocky. However, he didn’t mind it as he walked forward. At the end of the cave, there was no pond. However, a strange white lotus was firmly rooted on the ground.
” This…This is Bright Snow Lotus.” Li Qing murmured. But as he counted the petals, he couldn’t help but sigh.
” Fuck, It’s only a six petal one. We need the twelve petal lotus.”
