Unrivaled Under The Heaven

Taking the book of herbs from the grand elder with a wide smile on his face after hearing that there are more copies as he begins to through the book while looking at the herbs that are written on it. But that is when he recognized a herb that he saw at the bottom of the stream where he took the ring.

Seeing Jason staring at the picture of the herb, the grand elder had a thought as he asked.

"Have you seen it somewhere before".

"Tell him no since you will be needing that herb to make a pill that will help you in breaking through" said the bracelet.

Jason waved his head in disapproval as he replied to the grand elder.

"I just thought the herb looked so beautiful and would be a perfect gift for my little sister".

"I see, others are thinking of getting the herb so that they can make a pill for their breakthrough and would even do anything to have it but here you are thinking of using it as a gift to your little sister who doesn't have any use for it" said the grand elder with a frown.

"It's what we called love grand elder, but after listening to what you said I think I have a change of heart since I will be able to improve my realm and be a step ahead of the others" replied Jason with a smile.

"You must think that finding all of these herbs will be an easy task," said the grand elder.

"Of course I know it is not easy to find them but I can't help but wonder how they were easily found if it is hard to see in the first place" asked Jason as he turned to look at the grand elder.

"That's because the location of some of the herbs has been found out and although it is not certain that you will find them there but at least the probability that you will find them is high" replied the grand elder as he pointed at a picture of a herb with his location written beneath it.

"This herb is called the weeping grass" added the grand elder as he brought out the greenish grass for Jason to see.

When Jason raised his head to take a look at the wiping grass, he couldn't help but frown as he said.

"That is what you called the wiping grass, it looks more like the grasses that grew in the forest".

"This is it kid though it is not rare and could easily be found in the forest but there is a risk to it and that is, it is identical to a poisonous herb which kills within ten breaths" reply the grand elder.

Jason reconsiders as he turns his head back to look at the herb but this time he did not take his eyes off it and the grand elder couldn't help but ask when he saw him acting this way.

"And what do you think you are doing".

"I am engraving the image in my head since I don't want to lose my life all because of some stupid herb that decide to be identical to a poison" replied Jason with a serious look.

"You don't need to worry about that kid since you have already seen it and know what it looks like I believe you will be able to recognize it" said the grand elder before keeping the wiping grass but in his robe.

Jason nodded in agreement as he turned his back to the book of herbs and continued to search for the mystic fruit and the others which didn't take him too long to see.

"Now that I know what they look like, it shouldn't be that difficult to find them" thought Jason.

"Some of the herbs could be found in the beast territory that is if you are ready to take the risk" reply the bracelet.

"Now shouldn't be the time for me to go there with the way I am now, isn't that what you said yesterday" asked Jason.

"Oh now you are using my own word against me" replied the bracelet with a sigh.

"I don't want to be chased around by some beast so I am going to look for the easiest ones" said Jason before turning to look at the grand elder who has already gone to take a seat with a gourd in his hand. 

When the grand elder saw Jason coming, he was all frown as he asked.

"What is it that you want this time around".

"You of my mother's condition already and the reason why I came asking for those herbs were related to how to help" replied Jason with a sigh.

"And what do you want me to do" asked the grand elder while playing with the gourd.

"I don't know if you will be so kind as to help me out with any of the herbs I mentioned" replied Jason with a bow.

"Apart from the wiping grass which can be found in the forest, we don't have the other but I will guess that you should wait for the next batch of herb that will be delivered in three days time" said the grand elder while stroking his beards.

"I will have to wait until the new batch arrives but until then, I will have to get the wiping grass ready" Jason murmurs to himself.

"Make sure not to get yourself killed while you are at it" said the grand elder as he opened the gourd.

"Don't worry grand elder by the way, what pill are you making this time" asked Jason.

"I am taking the day off, so you can do as you like but don't you dare touch my stuff" replied the grand elder.

Jason gave him a smile before walking off to take a look at the stuff that is stored on the shelf before going to study the book of herbs.
