Chapter 493 Alchemy Missions [1]

As the employee left, Zhao Tian continued looking through the contents of the tab and searched Spiritthread Root and Windbell herb.

Qi Xue and Qi Nue looked at the prices and these are relatively low compared to the others Zhao Tian was looking at just now.

"1000 credits for both of them... so, 2000 credits." Zhao Tian's gaze condensed as he didn't have the credits to buy them now.

'Guess, I shall just do some missions later and I also need to check in the royal capital.'

As he was thinking, Qi Nue's voice interrupted his thoughts "I can buy this for you.. Little brother."

With a nod, Qi Xue also spoke "Yeah.. I can also buy this for you."

Looking at them, Zhao Tian smiled faintly "You don't have to, I can-"

"No, little brother.. we insist."

With that, Qi Nue called for the Employee and pointed to the tab "We need these two, Spiritthread Root and Windbell herb."

The employee quickly came to them and noted down the two herbs they needed.

With a smile she spoke "Please wait for 5 minutes, I will return with the herbs you have requested."

As she left, Zhao Tian glanced at the two women and smiled wryly "You don't really have to do all of that..."

Qi Nue gently tapped his shoulder, her tone lighthearted but filled with affection. "Nonsense, Little Brother. You treated us on your first day, so it's only fair we repay the favor and help our cute junior." Qi Xue laughed softly and nodded in agreement. "Besides, it's just these herbs. We couldn't afford the costly ones you were eyeing earlier... Sorry about that, Little Brother." Hearing her apologetic tone, Zhao Tian shook his head "No, no.. this is more than enough, Sisters."

"Hehe..."

"Thank you Little brother..."

Soon, the employee came back with the herbs in two pouches and handed them over to Zhao Tian.

Looking at them, Li Xueyan smiled "Seems like you are busy... when you have time, we can go for Sect missions together."

Zhao Tian nodded his head and Li Xueyan quickly left the place.

A bit later, Qi Xue returned and nudged his shoulder teasingly "So you have already wooed an inner court disciple with your charm eh?"

Hearing her tease, Zhao Tian brushed it off with a chuckle and at this time, Qi Nue also came to him "I have already applied for the mission. Now let's leave."

"En."

...

As Zhao Tian, Qi Xue, and Qi Nue ventured into the dense forest, a cool breeze swept through the towering trees, carrying the earthy scent of damp foliage. Qi Xue, walking beside them, muttered. "We'll need to keep our guard up. These deeper parts of the forest are known for being home to low-level astral beasts. They might not be much of a threat to us, but we can't let our guard down." After several minutes of walking, Qi Xue's eyes lit up.

She crouched down and pointed to a small cluster of plants growing at the base of a large tree. "Look, here's a patch of Spiritvine Grass. It's not exactly rare, but it's one of the herbs we need for the mission."

Zhao Tian and Qi Nue knelt beside her, examining the silvery leaves of the herb. "Perfect," Qi Nue said, plucking the herb carefully and placing it into her pouch.

"Let's keep moving. We need more than just Spiritvine Grass for this mission."

As they continued their search, the forest began to change. The trees grew thicker and the undergrowth denser, making it harder to move around.

Qi Nue's eyes narrowed as she noticed faint claw marks on the bark of a nearby tree. "Looks like we're getting closer to astral beast territory."

Qi Xue nodded, her expression serious now. "Stay alert, Little Brother."

Just then, Qi Xue spotted something up ahead. "Over there! Red Ginseng Root!" They hurried toward a clearing where a few stalks of the Red Ginseng Root were growing at the edge of a small stream.

Its pale red roots shimmered faintly, and seeing this Qi Nue smiled "Great find!" she said, crouching down to harvest the roots carefully.

Suddenly, a rustling sound echoed from the bushes nearby.
