Chapter 395: Chapter 337 - Great Big Brother_2

Owen Bertram hadn’t paid much attention to the spiritual medicine last time, but this time he discovered the Extinction Domain was truly a treasure trove! Almost every patch of grass was growing spiritual medicine, differing only in their level of sophistication.

Apart from Owen, the other newbies were so eager and excited about the discovery, that they couldn’t help but start picking. They quickly stuffed their Storage Brocade Pouches to the brim.

It was only then that the elders laughed and said, "Discard those that aren’t valuable, otherwise you won’t have room for the high-level spiritual medicine you’ll find later on."

They looked at Owen approvingly, "Take a look at young Owen, it’s his first time here too, but he’s more savvy than you guys."

In fact... Owen simply didn’t value these ordinary spiritual medicines much.

The reluctant newbies removed the herbs from their bags with heavy hearts, they came from humble backgrounds, and these ordinary spiritual medicines were precious treasures they would seldom come across. To discard them was like drawing blood from their hearts.

One clever individual began hastily stuffing spiritual medicines into his mouth, chewing quickly, "Can’t waste these." But unsurprisingly, he started vomiting and suffered from diarrhea, ending up extremely weak...

Nolan Gordon requested a Cultivator with divine healing skills to aid him, and then commanded all the newbies, "Do not act recklessly, we have plenty of experience, and we’ll never harm you! If anyone disobeys, they can leave. I don’t want those kinds of people on my team!"

Owen Bertram figured that the direction this team was heading matched his own destination, so he didn’t rush to leave, and comfortably melded into the team.

Days went by, and they managed to find quite a few good spiritual herbs. For Owen, they were indeed merely "good", but the rest of the team was deeply impressed. Nolan Gordon had been in this business for ten years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a newbie:

While walking in the pebble piles, he casually kicked a rock, and underneath it, was a Tier-3 spiritual "Blue Frost Moss".

When looking for a water source, he spotted a Tier-3 spiritual "Nine-branch Celery" in the grass patch by the creek.

As he climbed a tree to pick wild fruits and accidentally fell into a tree hole, he found a secret Tier-4 spiritual "Spiritual Fungus" growing in...

In just three days, this newbie had gathered eleven Tier-3 spiritual plants and four Tier-4 spiritual plants. His harvest of high-level spiritual medicine had already exceeded that of the entire team!

Foster Michael was very pleased with himself, ’This fellow was my recruit!’

"This kid, really born lucky, hahaha!"

Owen had collected two Tier-5 spiritual medicines which he hadn’t reported. He had secretly harvested them — these people shouldn’t find out what he was up to.

Firstly, he was reluctant to share these Tier-5 plants; secondly, he was afraid of startling them.

However, over the past few days, Owen noticed that Nolan Gordon had been overly generous with the team, always digging into his own pockets to help the newbies. Owen had secretly praised "Elder Brother Nolan" to Foster Micheal, who immediately puffed up his chest and beamed, "I’m not showing off, but you’re really lucky to have met us. Go ask anyone in the Copper Gorge Extinction Domain, the name of our Elder Brother Nolan is the most renowned. Even those who haven’t followed him show great respect when his name is mentioned."

Owen had identified the key: Reputation.

This Nolan Gordon seemed to be intentionally cultivating his reputation.

He asked, "Foster, how many Herb Gatherers are there in all of Copper Gorge?"

"That’s hard to say, people die in the Extinction Domain every day but there are also many newbies joining in. I would estimate there are around a hundred thousand or so."

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators, even if they are all low-level, once united, could not be overlooked even by the Imperial Court.

Owen’s eyes flickered slightly: This Nolan Gordon, his ambitions are far from small.

What a shame...he was limited by his abilities.

Another day passed, and the Herb Gatherers were each searching for spiritual herbs. Nolan Gordon who was ahead of the group suddenly crouched and gestured quickly to the group behind him.

The Herb Gatherers immediately gathered around, and as they pushed aside the lush branches in front, they saw a huge Demon Being resembling a shell-less snail, its body covered with dazzling colors, sleeping peacefully beside a small pond. Puffs of poisonous fog were exhaled with its breaths.

At Nolan’s signal, everyone slowly backed down, and Foster Micheal said excitedly, "Third-tier Demon Being, Illusive Worm! Great opportunity..."

The Commander of Summit doesn’t forbid Herb Gatherers from hunting Demon Beings; if you have the skills, you can kill them all.

Moreover, the treasure materials obtained from hunting Demon Beings are even more valuable than spiritual medicine. A third-tier Demon Being was suitable for the current team. With good planning, they could capture it without any harm.

Nolan Gordon immediately made arrangements, assigning the main tasks to the elders. Owen and the five newbies were only responsible for being lookouts, but in the end, everyone shared the spoils, which was considerably generous for the newbies.

The group silently surrounded the Demon Being. With Nolan Gordon leading the attack, capturing and eliminating the beast was a breeze! Up till now, they had acquired a massive harvest, far more than before, upon entering the Copper Gorge Extinction Domain. Every person’s face was filled with triumphant smiles.

After dealing with the corpse of the Illusive Worm, Foster Michael found Owen late at night and handed him a package, "Elder Brother Nolan specifically instructed to give this share to you."

Owen opened the package: it was a lump of light blue film, the most valuable part of an Illusive Worm. He asked in surprise, "What does this mean?"
