“This is a purple ink mandala. When its nine petals mature, as described in the Herb Codex, the purple ink mandala is extremely poisonous. Even a light touch of its petals can allow the toxin to seep into the human body. Spiritual Energy Users of the first and second ranks will die instantly upon contact. If it is accidentally ingested, even fourth or fifth-rank Spiritual Energy Users will suffer organ rot and struggle to survive.”After listening to Xiao Pang’s explanation, Huang Xiaojia and Xiong Gang swiftly retreated more than ten meters, their skin crawling with goosebumps.Xiao Pangzi also took a few steps back, swallowed, and said, “I don’t know how to safely dig out the purple ink mandala. How about we just leave this flower?”“Mm-hmm!” Huang Xiaojia and Xiong Gang nodded like pecking chickens.“Then let’s go.” Xiao Pangzi reluctantly glanced at the purple ink mandala. His software showed that a mature purple ink mandala was worth around 2 million, with each petal valued at over 200,000.Although 2 million wasn't a huge sum for him, and when split among four people, it would only be 500,000, earning money himself was still very different from relying on his family.“Wait a moment.” Just as the three were about to turn and leave, Qin Tian suddenly spoke.“Big Brother Qin Tian, what’s up?” Xiao Pangzi asked.Qin Tian: “Can you lend me your tools?”“Huh?” Xiao Pangzi was startled, “You’re not thinking of digging it yourself, are you?”“Big Brother Qin Tian, harvesting herbs is a skilled job. If you accidentally touch the petals or damage the root system, causing the toxins to leak, the consequences will be severe.”“Mm-hmm! Let’s not dig it,” Huang Xiaojia also advised from the side.It’s not easy to update, remember to share 101kanshu.com“Don’t worry, my physique is special, and I have high resistance to toxins.”Qin Tian calmly said, “Just give me the tools, and you all stand back.”Special physique?The few of them exchanged glances, and a term simultaneously surfaced in their minds—Bloodline Warrior.All along, the spiritual energy intensity Qin Tian displayed in martial arts class was not high; in terms of depth, he might not even be as strong as the weakest in the class.However, Qin Tian was able to defeat Xiang Dongyang, the strongest in the class, without relying on spiritual energy.So everyone was guessing that Qin Tian was a Bloodline Warrior, and one with a very high bloodline level at that.Now, this speculation was confirmed by Qin Tian’s recent statement.He really was a Bloodline Warrior.Xiao Pang and the others had complex expressions. They came from wealthy families with prominent backgrounds, but compared to those ancient bloodline families, mere wealth was truly insignificant.And in their view, Qin Tian must have come from a great bloodline family; otherwise, he wouldn't be so aloof.“Big Brother Qin Tian, here, be careful.” Xiao Pang handed the gloves, shovel, and sealed box to Qin Tian, then immediately ran more than ten meters away, watching from a distance.Qin Tian symbolically put on the gloves, mimicking Xiao Pang’s herb-gathering process. He first dug away the stones around the purple ink mandala little by little, then used the «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» shovel to dig down into the soil, trying to preserve the entire root system.However, since it was his first time, he accidentally damaged the root system during the process, and purple sap flowed out, leaving purple marks on his gloves.Qin Tian placed the purple ink mandala into the box, fastened the seal, then tossed the box into his backpack and said, “Thanks, here are your things back.”“I have spares in my bag.” Xiao Pang waved his hands repeatedly. The shovel and gloves were stained with the purple ink mandala’s venom; he wouldn’t touch them.“Alright.” Qin Tian glanced at the three who were hiding far away and said, “I’ll keep the purple ink mandala for now. After it’s sold, the profits will be split evenly and transferred to you.”“No, no, no.” Huang Xiaojia and Xiong Gang refused very decisively. The purple ink mandala was discovered by Xiao Pang and dug out by Qin Tian; they had nothing to do with it throughout the entire process.They could accept Xiao Pang’s money, after all, their relationship was there, and the previous herbs combined weren't worth much, so it was nothing to them. It was just like earning some pocket money.But they weren't familiar with Qin Tian and didn't want to take advantage of him.Xiao Pang’s eye twitched. In truth, he really wanted to accept his share of the profits. After all, he had indeed contributed, and over 500,000 was equivalent to three months of his living expenses.But Huang Xiaojia and Xiong Gang both refused. If he accepted the money, would Qin Tian make things difficult for him later?“Haha, the three of us just gave up on the purple ink mandala, so whatever it sells for later has nothing to do with us,” Xiao Pang said very magnanimously, though he was silently crying inside.Qin Tian raised an eyebrow. He could tell that Huang Xiaojia and Xiong Gang were genuinely not interested, but Xiao Pang was different; some micro-expressions still revealed his true thoughts.“Then we’ll talk about it later.” Qin Tian said indifferently. As he spoke, his right hand subtly reached into his backpack and tossed the box into his Space Sack.For highly poisonous items, storing them in a Space Sack was the safest.“Let’s go.” The group continued their journey. They had to complete a full-coverage search of their assigned area within two days, so the task was quite heavy.A gentle breeze swept through, rustling the leaves.Suddenly, Qin Tian stopped and raised his hand, making a warning gesture.Everyone was a student of the Special Warfare Department, so they were naturally familiar with tactical hand signals. They immediately put down their backpacks and gripped their weapons.“Big Brother Qin Tian, what’s wrong?” Xiao Pang asked softly.“Something is rapidly approaching,” Qin Tian said in a deep voice.Walking through the forest, he once again transformed into a human radar, with his sense of smell, hearing, and heat perception fully activated, sensing every rustle and movement nearby.Just now, he clearly heard intermittent unusual sounds from a distance, getting closer and closer. The sounds seemed to come from above, as if from the trees.Hearing this, the three immediately tensed up, their spiritual energy held in reserve.Soon, a rustling sound came from overhead.Everyone looked up. A black shadow rapidly moved through the large trees, using thick branches as springboards. Each leap covered more than ten meters, agile and nimble.“It’s too big; it doesn’t look like a human.” Xiong Gang gripped his weapon, feeling both nervous and a little excited.As a Spiritual Energy User and a military academy student, besides fighting with classmates, he had never encountered other types of enemies. Now might be an opportunity.“Not human? Could it be a Spirit Beast?” Xiao Pang asked in surprise.Spirit Beasts are a species that evolved from beasts. They possess outstanding physical talents and also master abilities similar to spiritual energy.Unlike Beastmen, Spirit Beasts do not have human characteristics, nor do they have culture within their groups. Their distribution is relatively scattered, and overall, they pose no threat to the Empire.However, for individuals, if one encounters a powerful Spirit Beast in the wild, one can only pray for good fortune.The black shadow arrived swiftly, standing on a tree branch and looking down at the four of them.It was a black violent ape, with a massive body and bulging muscles, clearly defined, as if carved from hard rock. Its arms were thick and powerful, hanging down almost to the ground, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared at them, exuding a chilling ferocity.
