Chapter 9 Target Found
After that, Gu He and Sun Yi turned all the small animals they had hunted into barbecue and filled their stomachs. Since Gu He was already a fighting king, he could draw fighting spirit from heaven and earth to nourish his body. He could go without food for several months. He ate mainly for the sake of his mouth, so most of it was eaten by Sun Yi.
After that, Sun Yi sat in meditation by the fire all night, and Gu He also used almost half of his soul power to sense the surroundings on the tree. The night passed without any trouble. When
he woke up the next morning, Gu He felt refreshed. Even though he had been using his soul power to sense the surroundings all night, he had also spent the night practicing and completely dispelled his fatigue.
Sun Yi sat by the extinguished fire and yawned. Seeing Sun Yi's obvious dark circles, Gu He smiled and said, "You won't be so nervous at night, will you?"
"In the Monster Mountain Range, how can you not be nervous at night? Even if you team up with others, you will be dressed and holding weapons ready to fight at any time, let alone a team of two." Sun Yi stood up reluctantly and prepared to wash his face.
Gu He did not explain that with a fourth-grade or higher alchemist and using soul power to pay attention to the surroundings, there would be no sneak attack at all. However, Sun Yi might not understand these. After all, he couldn't even touch the soul power now, so it would be useless even if he explained.
Afterwards, the two walked towards the last basin. On the way, they encountered many first-level monsters attacking them, but they could not escape from Gu He's soul perception. Gu He was not interested in these low-level monsters, so he told Sun Yi the location of the monsters and asked Sun Yi to deal with them. When Sun Yi could not deal with Gu He, he would kill the remaining monsters.
Seeing Gu He kill several first-level peak monsters with ease, Sun Yi looked at Gu He with more awe. The strong are always respected, especially in the Monster Mountain Range, a place full of jungle laws.
After killing several monsters, Gu He cut open their heads and found a magic core in one of them. Gu He picked it up and sensed the energy contained in it. He thought he could use this lowest-level magic core to test the ability of Devouring Flame to see if he could transform the magic core into pure energy. If he could, he could temporarily delay the upgrade of his alchemist level and improve his strength in the Monster Mountain Range before considering alchemy. Of course, if it didn't work, he would still follow the plan of upgrading his alchemist level first and then improving his strength.
"Sir, this magic core is of good quality. You can easily sell it for 450 gold coins in a big city. However, if you are in a hurry to sell it, you can sell it for 350 gold coins if you have acquaintances in Qingshan Town. If the person who wants to buy the magic core sees that you are not an acquaintance in Qingshan Town, he will bargain hard and often only give 300 gold coins." Sun Yi saw Gu He staring at the magic core in deep thought and thought he was thinking about how to sell it, so he told Gu He some of the prices he knew about the magic core.
"It is in line with the market, but I am not going to sell it for the time being." Gu He smiled and put the magic core into his ring.
"Let's keep going."
The further they went, the denser the monsters became. In the end, in order to increase the speed, Gu He led the way in front, and Sun Yi was responsible for guiding the way from behind.
With Gu He, a powerful fighter, paving the way, even if he only used a part of his strength, the journey would be much smoother. Soon, a large basin appeared in Gu He's eyes. Feeling the rich energy in it and identifying the medicinal herbs growing in it, Gu He felt that it was very likely that the place he was looking for was here.
He threw a bottle of pills to Sun Yi. "Well, this is probably the basin I'm looking for. Since you're lucky enough to help me find this place, you'll get the corresponding reward."
"Thank you for the reward, sir." Sun Yi knew that for such a powerful person with high-level medicine refining, it would be a matter of moving a finger to kill him. Even with Gu He's soul power to make him lose his mind, it's very likely that he wouldn't even need to move a finger. So after Sun Yi took the pill, he swallowed it without hesitation and then meditated to refine the medicinal properties.
"Smart guy." Gu He could guess the general reason why Sun Yi did this, but he didn't dislike it.
After spreading the feces of a 1.5-level monster beside Sun Yi, Gu He walked towards the basin. There were indeed many rare medicinal herbs in the basin that were rarely seen in the outside world, but that was for ordinary people. For Gu He, these herbs were often used by himself, so they were not particularly precious. Gu He stood in the center of the basin and used the power of his soul to sense the depths of the basin. He found that the power of his soul could easily penetrate the thick fog and enter it.
Inside was a small valley that was not very big. The energy inside was dozens of times denser than the basin outside, and it had reached the energy level of the top of Yunlan Mountain. Moreover, some of the herbs inside were so dense that even Gu He was moved.
After confirming that this was the small valley that Xiao Yixian took Xiao Yan to, Gu He was in a good mood. But before Gu He could laugh out loud, a long roar came from the side of the basin.
Gu He sighed lightly, knowing that it was Sun Yi who broke through to the fighter level and couldn't control his excitement and shouted out, but he didn't blame him. When Gu He walked over, Sun Yi had calmed down, knowing that his breakthrough was entirely due to Gu He's elixir. Sun Yi clasped his fists and said, "I will never forget your kindness, sir. If you need anything in the future, just call me in Qingshan Town, even if it means going through fire and water, I will do it for you."
Sun Yi, with his limited knowledge and the strength Gu He showed along the way, felt that he could not be in Gu He's eyes at all, so he gave up the idea of following Gu He and could only say some polite words to express his gratitude to Gu He.
"You were able to break through to the Dudoushi level, of course, thanks to the power of the elixir, but the solid foundation you laid at the Douzhe Jiuxing level is also indispensable. Otherwise, even with the help of the elixir, you would definitely not be able to break through to the Douzhe level."
"I have found the place I am looking for. You can go back to Qingshan Town by yourself. I believe that with your current Douzhe strength, you can go back safely as long as you are careful." Since Gu He had already found the small valley, he couldn't wait to go in and see if the Little Medical Immortal had arrived at the small valley earlier than him, and whether there was a house inside. Now he just wanted to send Sun Yi away as soon as possible so that he could fly to the small valley to satisfy his curiosity.
Hearing Gu He's obvious meaning of sending him away, Sun Yi would not stay there without knowing what was going on. After expressing his gratitude to Gu He again, Sun Yi left the basin.
Gu He sensed that Sun Yi had gone far away and could not see here, so he summoned his fighting spirit wings and flew deep into the basin.
