Treasure Hunting

Hearing Zachary's question, Mimi fell silent. She was searching for information to answer his question. After what seemed like ages, she said once more, "According to my analysis, this ink is made from the flower juice of a very rare plant in the world called Datura.

"Where can I find this Datura?" Zachary asked.

"It's extremely rare, so you won't be able to find it," Mimi replied.

"Oh, never mind then," Zachary said as he rolled his eyes.

"Why did it take you so long?" Benjamin asked when Zachary finally showed up. He stared at Zachary with suspicion in his eyes. He suspected that Zachary must be keeping a secret from him.

Besides, the disciples of the Welkin Sect collected herbs from the Herbal Mountain all year round, and the number of herbs available had been greatly reduced. But there was an exception. The peak of the mountain was abundant with herbs because it was rich in essential energy. However, this was also the reason why it was home to some powerful and fierce martial beasts. No common disciple dared to go there to collect herbs. It was marked
