Chapter 1807 - 1421: Mist Grass

With his scouting skill in hand, upon seeing such an herb, Qin Fang immediately understood its use. However, it was precisely because he knew its use that he felt some doubt.Mist Grass, as the name suggests, looks like an herb made of mist. Here, it's not that the herb resembles mist, but that it releases a faint mist-like vapor, appearing hazy under sunlight. A large patch of Mist Grass growing together looks like a cloud hovering in the mortal world.

Of course, this is just the external appearance of Mist Grass, while its actual function is... male enhancement!

The rhizomes of Mist Grass can be ground into a powder with potent male enhancement effects, even more robust than Viagra.

This Mist Grass can be considered nature's aphrodisiac. In small amounts, it can effectively boost a man's abilities in certain areas, but once excessively inhaled, it leads to an unusual excess of Yang Qi, causing abnormal development in certain aspects.

For martial artists cultivating extremely pure Yang Inner Strength, Mist Grass becomes a significant hindrance, potentially turning an upright man into a lustful demon with just a small inhalation.

And the few people present with Qin Fang, he himself always relied on Joyous Zen Inner Power to mitigate his abundant Yang Qi. Song Qingshan and Monk Wukong also cultivated extremely pure Yang Inner Strength, especially Monk Wukong who practiced child's skill. If his skill is broken, his cultivation would be entirely wasted...

Understanding the effects of Mist Grass, Qin Fang's expression changed, his gaze fixated on Hattori Sanzo, awaiting his explanation.

"The toxic gas at the entrance of the Musashi School mountain gate is sinister, causing significant damage to those who cultivate extremely pure Yang Inner Strength. Excessive inhalation may not only damage one's meridians but could also lead to a total loss of all power..."

"The effects of Mist Grass happen to counter the toxicity of this gas, achieving a fusion effect that neutralizes the poison, ensuring everyone remains unharmed..."

Hattori Sanzo, being quite straightforward, earnestly explained the effects of Mist Grass to Qin Fang. As Qin Fang identified, Hattori didn't hide the potential hazards of it.

Then Hattori Sanzo explained why using Mist Grass was necessary, and upon hearing this, despite his tingling scalp, Qin Fang couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Oh, right, Miss Qin Zi... you cannot come along with us!"

After explaining everything, Hattori Sanzo added a special reminder to Qin Zi, "Mist Grass is only for men. If a woman takes it, she transforms from a graceful beauty to a rough, neutral, violent pseudo-man... Women are naturally Yin, so excessive Yang Qi infusion and hormonal imbalance are definitely undesirable!"

Although Qin Zi might consider herself Qin Fang's female slave, integral to him, Hattori Sanzo recognized the hierarchy and knew Qin Zi was considerably higher in status.

Hattori Sanzo was quite satisfied with this, feeling it was natural... after all, Qin Zi was pretty and gentle, captivating every man's heart.

Thus, Hattori Sanzo believed Qin Zi, as a potential upper-ranked female concubine, had a better chance than he did as an old man.

Qin Zi might easily offer herself to Qin Fang, but if Hattori Sanzo tried, Qin Fang would likely ignore him... escaping a beating would be a lucky break!

Hattori Sanzo knew, despite his age, he understood these dynamics clearly, choosing to play mute.

Facing such a likely "future female lead," Hattori Sanzo bowed to Qin Zi, accepting it wasn't completely unreasonable.

"Qin Zi, you just wait outside temporarily to keep lookout for us..."

Hattori Sanzo's words were reasonable to Qin Fang too after thinking it through.

Firstly, Qin Zi's ability was too weak for them to storm the Musashi School, likely leading to a massive confrontation. If Qin Zi joined, they wouldn't have time for rescue... which would be hazardous!

Secondly, Mist Grass wasn't suitable for women, offering advantages at a hefty price Qin Fang and Qin Zi wouldn't want to pay!

With Qin Fang's words, Qin Zi, though unwilling, complied obediently, whereas if only Hattori Sanzo said it, she surely wouldn't care.

Collecting Mist Grass could be troublesome, but it's not a problem for Qin Fang, with his Herb Gathering Technique in hand, allowing him to harvest practically any herb with its complete effects.

After gathering Mist Grass, Qin Fang processed these herbs into powder and distributed them to Ji Xiang and others, each carrying a small amount to deal with the toxic gas...

No choice, as Mist Grass's special properties mean carrying too much could inadvertently be absorbed, leading to adverse effects.

Qin Fang, Ji Xiang, Song Qingshan, and the others managed, but Monk Wukong, who practiced child's skill, couldn't afford any risk.

A small amount poses no harm to the body; it even benefits, stabilizing the child's pure Yang, offering Monk Wukong some advantage.

Prepared with Mist Grass, Qin Fang and the others escorted Qin Zi out of the forest, temporarily situating her in a hidden but strategically located spot. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI(F)ire.net

This would ensure Qin Zi's safety from prying eyes while she could still keep watch for Qin Fang's party.

Upon finishing these arrangements, Qin Fang and his group stealthily advanced towards the mountains within the forest, moving towards their second target, the Musashi School's lair.

"Is this the Musashi's mountain gate?"

The experts moved swiftly, taking roughly half an hour to climb the seemingly ordinary mountain, reaching a cliff...

The mountain wasn't tall, yet clouds enveloped it, akin to a celestial realm.

At the cliff, shrouded by mist, a faintly visible iron chain connected both sides, exuding misgiving steepness.

Ji Xiang's question arose because of the unique shrine architecture seen at the cliff, prompting his inquiry.

"It should be..."

Before Hattori Sanzo replied, Qin Fang nodded quietly, responding before Ji Xiang's group could. "The place is indeed filled with toxic gas..."

While speaking, Qin Fang's eyes fixed on the mist ahead. Ji Xiang and the others couldn't perceive it, but Qin Fang, using his scouting skill, detected the spread of toxic gas...

Within the mist lay a treacherous gas. Excessive inhalation would lead to a cold toxin-like invasion and significant nerve damage.

With Qin Fang identifying Mist Grass's properties, he's inclined to trust Hattori Sanzo, not entirely antidotal, but at least with Mist Grass as defense, their threat from the toxin minimized, effectively harmless...

Any slight effect wouldn't faze them, as all present were Grandmaster Level Peak, defying small harm! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote, monthly tickets; your support motivates me most.)
