Chapter 622: Tian Han’s Taunt And Ploy
The team of Tian clansmen continued onward under the lead of Tian Han and Tian Chu while the two bickered.
Lin Wu continued to observe them and got to learn a few more things from their conversations. He learned about the selection of the outstanding members who would be sent to the main clan to be nurtured.
‘Hmm… interesting. Wonder if Tian Xiaoge would qualify for that. If possible, I might be able to get someone in the Tian clan and gather the information from there.’ Lin Wu thought.
The beasts of the forest often attacked the Tian clan members, but so far, they had been able to fight them off. Most beasts they encountered were at the Core condensation realm and they could handle them with relative ease.
It had been about two days since they had embarked on the mission and had finally reached an area that was untouched.
“It’s nearby! I can smell the flowers!” One of the clansmen shouted.
“Oh? So it’s spread here too.” Lin Wu was surprised.
He checked the map and realized that they had indeed reached an area that was far from the one he had originally scanned.
“Scan the area, system.” Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
SCANNING: Please wait a moment.
SCAN COMPLETED: Map updated
——
Lin Wu checked the map and saw the Fragrant Parrot Bamboo flowers in the area. There were less than the ones in the previous area, but there were at least some here.
‘There are even some with the Millennium Parrot Bamboo Eggs…’ Lin Wu took note.
He scrolled through the map and saw that there were signs of there being more areas than just these in the distance.
“There’s definitely a lot more areas with the flowers. Though the ones with eggs are significantly less. I doubt they can reach there due to the beasts here though.” Lin Wu analyzed.
“Come! We need to gather them all quickly, before the beasts sense us.” Tian Chu stated.
Tian Han went to one side while Tian Chu went to the other and started to gather the flowers.
“WHOA! Is this the legendary fruit?” One of the clansmen exclaimed.
“Show me,” Tian Han demanded.
The clansmen obediently handed the flower to Tian Han to inspect. He looked at the small marble attached to the center of the flower and observed it closely.
“Hmm… this is it! This is the main goal of our mission!” Tian Han said out loud, feeling pleased.
Their mission had two goals; the first was to get as many Fragrant Parrot Bamboo flowers as they could get, and the second was to priorities the flowers with the eggs if they found those.
The merit points for the fruits was ten times the merit points for just the flowers.
“Quickly gather the flowers with the fruits first!” Tian Han ordered.
Tian Chu did the same and a little competition started under them to gather more of the fruits. Lin Wu was observing them all and saw that none of the fruits were big enough to have a significance chance of birthing a Bamboo spirit.
‘Though the numbers are rather tempting…’ Lin Wu thought to himself as his eyes glowed in a sly glint.
Tian Han and Tian Chu gathered all the fruits and then the flowers. This time Tian Han had more fruits than Tian Chu, having eight of them, while Tian Chu only had four.
‘This dog… I have to find a way to get more of them. At the end even if they split the merits, he will have more due to being the leader on his side.’ Tian Chu thought.
Tina Han had similar thoughts and wanted to get the Fruits that Tian Chu had as well.
‘This bitch doesn’t deserve even a single fruits. All of them are mine! I shall be the one to enter the main branch.’ Tian Han thought with fervor.
“I think that’s all the flowers, senior brother.” A subordinate of Tian Han spoke as he brought the bundle of flowers to him.
Tian Han glanced at the flowers and furrowed his brows.
“This isn’t enough. We need more. There should be more areas with the flowers.” Tian Han said.
“But senior brother… we are already in a dangerous area, if we go any further, we might encounter Nascent soul realm beasts.” Someone said with concern.
“Humph! And this is exactly why you will always stay behind. You don’t dare take risks and dare to call yourselves cultivators.” Tian Han taunted.
Tian Chu didn’t want to be berated and replied, “being a cultivator doesn’t just mean taking risks, it also means being smart about them.”
“Think whatever you want, but I’m going ahead. Follow if you want to.” Tian Han said and took off.
“Wait for us senior brother!” the subordinates of Tian Han flew after him.
On the other hand, Tian Chu’s subordinates looked at her with confused expressions.
“What do we do, senior sister?”
“Do we follow or do we return?”
Tian Chu looked at the flowers they had and Tian Han who was already a dot in the distance.
“We follow!” She said decisively.
~WHOOSH~
Jumping onto a spirit sword she flew in the distance and the others followed.
“I swear I’ll knock you down and show you your place Tian Han.” Tian Chu muttered to herself.
Lin Wu who was watching all this couldn’t help but chuckle.
“This is a weird rivalry. If I didn’t know better, it would seem as if they were vengeful lovers instead.” Lin Wu said as he checked the beast markers on the map. “But, their time might come to an end soon…”
~SHING~
Tian Han who was in the lead secretly took out a small metal plate that shone on his hand.
“Haha, she’s walking right into my hand. If all goes well, the flowers she has will be mine too,” Tian Han muttered to himself as a devious smile appeared on his face.
On the metal plate, several dots could be seen. The biggest dot though were emitting spirit Qi fluctuations at the Nascent soul realm and Tian Han was heading right to it!
