Chapter 1498 – Yang Qiqi in Danger

“Oink oink…” The pig seemed like it had been wronged, but it couldn’t really explain. In a panic, he used his paw to write on the snow- “The snow mountain is too big, I can’t sense it from too far, but can sense some other treasures. If we walk around, we might find the Fire Spirit’s fruit!

“Wha- you can write? Why didn’t you write earlier?” Lin Yi didn’t expect this- it was pissing him off even more. “Why didn’t you write before!”

“Oink oink…” The pig felt even more wronged as he wrote on the ground. “Can’t hold a pen, can only write in the snow…”

After that, he even showed Lin Yi his scissor paw.

Lin Yi didn’t know if he should cry or laugh at this point. “Alright, let’s go find the other treasures then. You try to sense for the location of the fruit!”

“Oink, oink!” The pig nodded.

Lin Yi and the pig’s conversation was a complete surprise for Yu Bing- he was very impressed! He’d seen many spirit beasts himself, but one that understood human speech? It was rare among the rare, let alone one that was capable of writing!

He’d never heard of anything like this before! Lin Yi really brought out surprise after surprise; it was as if the amazing things that happened to him weren’t that amazing in comparison!

“Your pig can sense treasures?” Yu Bing finally understood why Li Yi brought this non-attack type pig to the test. So it had this special skill!

With how the test graded their scores, this pig was the best trump card! It could find all the treasures they needed!

“Looking for the fruit will require this guy’s services. Where am I supposed to find it on this barren mountain?” Lin Yi nodded. “But don’t tell anyone this.”

“Don’t worry; I’ll keep quiet!” Yu Bing nodded solemnly.

He understood the pig’s value very well. If it really had the talent that Lin Yi claimed it had, then it was a priceless treasure that even the ancient sects would drool over for, let alone hidden houses.

Lin Yi didn’t have to intentionally wipe out the words the pig wrote- the wind swept it away almost immediately.

The two followed the pig and walked onward…

Yang Qiqi was in a group by herself. She didn’t know anyone here, and she didn’t want to be in a team with others.

Other than the test itself, she also wanted to get the right to the treasure exchange with the Ice Palace…. The elixir she wanted was possessed by the Ice Palace, and for her injured sisters, she needed that. Even miracle doctors wouldn’t be able to do much without them.

“The eight leaf grass!” Qiqi didn’t expect to find this on the snow ground, not far from where she had landed. It was one of the medicines that had more unique characteristics. It wasn’t that high in level, but they were easier to locate, much more so than the ones buried under the snow. She took out a small knife, and she happily and carefully cut down the herb and put it into her bag.

With a beep, the card Yang Qiqi had made two clicks, and the number changed from 0 to 5. It seemed like this herb was worth five points- it wasn’t much, but it was a great start!

“A great start is half the success!” Qiqi’s cool face was traced with a small smile. “Lil sis Jiu, I’ll help you get that medicine for sure!”

Qiqi held his fists tight as a look of determination came on. She stepped onward.

One had to admit, though, that Qiqi had good luck. She found another herb not long after, below a nameless tree- snow ginseng! The color indicated that it was at least a hundred years old or even older- it was much more a proper practitioner’s herb compared to the eight leaf grass! Even hidden houses didn’t have too many of these!

Qiqi subconsciously looked around- after making sure that no one was there, she hopped toward the snow ginseng! She really was getting emotional- she had gone through some studying of the different herbs and medicines, and naturally, she knew how valuable this thing was!

So, if the grass was five points, then this common snow ginseng would at least be a hundred- it was a hundred-year-old snow ginseng, it had to be priceless! Wasn’t this going too well? She never expected to be this lucky!

But, just as Qiqi was happily cutting out the ginseng, a giant snake with white all over its body burst out of the hole in the tree, lunging at Qiqi!

Qiqi jumped in fright. She suddenly remembered something mentioned in the information she’d studied- these treasures with more than a couple decades old had some beasts that lived nearby. They were able to sense the energy from these treasures themselves, and living beside them would benefit their being. These were the spirits the legends talked about!

In truth, the spirits were really just a fairy tale’s product. The real truth of it was that these spirits were simply normal animals that were converted into spirit beasts! After absorbing a certain amount of the qi energy in their surroundings, their bodies started to have qi itself, and they changed into spirit beasts!

They weren’t ancient spirit beasts, but these converted beasts were usually much stronger than the ancient ones! The ancient ones were just pureblooded descendants of practitioner spirit beasts. They have their talents, but they didn’t necessarily attack. The Skybolt pig was an example- it had a great ability to sense treasures, but it couldn’t really attack.

Weiwu, though, was clearly much tougher. It was able to fight enemies on its own, and this was the strength of the converted spirit beasts that evolved from normal animals.

But, fortunately for Qiqi, she was a trained assassin and a physical practitioner of qinggong. Her reaction speed was supernatural, and the instant the giant snake attacked her, she subconsciously stepped back, escaping the snake by an inch!

The snake didn’t press on after Qiqi backed off- it was only protecting the snow herb, after all. Evidently, it now treated the herb as its personal item- no one else was allowed to contaminate its treasure.

“Big snake, let’s talk about this, why don’t we? Give me that snow herb, alright? I really need it; I need it for the exchange right with the Ice Palace!” Qiqi didn’t have much of a guarantee should she fight this super snake, so she used discussion as well.

The information she went through said it might understand her, after all.

“Sss…” The snake spat its tongue out at Qiqi, hostile.

“…” Qiqi’s cool little face was quite speechless at that moment- did this snake understand her or not?
