Chapter 198 Dragon's Tail Grass
Chapter 198 Dragon's Tail Grass
An assassin came at Lin Fan with his sword, trying to stab Lin Fan's eyes.
But as he came close, the wooden floorboard cracked, and he fell into the hole.
It was as if Lin Fan had laid out this trap all along.
Lin Fan stomped on the assassin's head as the assassin tried to get up.
Splatter.
The head exploded from the impact, and the flesh and brain splattered all over.
Lin Fan had gotten used to the Hunting Ground ability, and he just wanted to wrap things up.
Even though the Hunting Ground ability was powerful, it had taken up nearly one quarter of his energy so far.
It was something that Lin Fan had to keep in mind.

When the other assassins saw how powerful Lin Fan was, they turned and tried to run.
Their mission was to get rid of Guo He Ru, who was an Alchemy Cultivator, someone who was relatively easy to kill.@@@@
It was not part of the deal that they had to face someone like Lin Fan.
But it wasn't possible for Lin Fan to let them off.
He took out his hammers and got to work.
Boom.
With the Chain Leap ability, he smashed the head off one of the assassins.
Soon after, he went on and dealt with the next one.
In a few moments, he had taken down all the assassins.
A familiar sound then erupted in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]
[Vengeance points + 200.]
[Current Vengeance Points: 500]
With the fire spreading, Lin Fan quickly got out of the mansion.
When he got back to the inn, Ho Ming and Guo He Ru were waiting for him.
After they got through, Lin Fan asked, "Who are those people?"
Guo He Ru explained, "They are from the Alchemy Alliance, formed by many sects and alchemy cultivators.
"To prevent the constant bloodshed of trying to take control of the Medicine Valley, they banded together and formed the alliance to take control instead.
"Those who want to enter would have to pay a toll fee.
"However, whatever happens in the Medicine Valley is up to you, no guarantees of any haul or your safety."
Lin Fan nodded, and they followed Guo He Ru to gather the herbs he needed for the Heavenly Rejuvenate Pills.
"Follow me, I know the region where we can find what we need."
First, they trekked into the thick foliage, and Guo He Ru examined every plant he saw on the way carefully.
But he just shook his head after a close examination and continued his way.
"What are we looking for? We can help you with that," Lin Fan asked.
Guo He Ru tried to describe what he was looking for to them, "I'm looking for the Dragon Tail Grass. It has broad, wavy red leaves and a long stem."
So, they tried looking for something Guo He Ru had described.
Lin Fan couldn't find anything that looked remotely similar.
A few moments later, he heard Ho Ming calling out, "I think I found some."
Ho Ming had walked into a bush full of plants with spiky leaves.
Lin Fan and Guo He Ru quickly went over and had a look.
Initially, Guo He Ru was excited as he saw a bunch of grass looking like the Dragon's Tail Grass.
But after his close examination again, he sighed and shook his head.
"These aren't Dragon's Tail Grass; they are called the Feather Grass.
"They look similar, but the Feather Grass has broader leaves with darker stems.
"That's why a lot of unscrupulous suppliers use these as a substitute."
Lin Fan plucked one and looked closely.
He began to appreciate the intricacies and difficulties of Alchemy Cultivation.
"Shh... Keep quiet," Lin Fan quickly whispered at Ho Ming and Guo He Ru.
He heard some rustling coming near them.
With his spear in his hand, he peeped out of the bush to see who was approaching.
