บท 665: Price of greed (15)

After a brief pause, Li Yao continued,

"After he passed, to honor his life, we lived it as he did, which was travel from place to place taking in the sights and studying the local flora whether it was valuable or not.

Gradually Long Zemin and I developed our own interests during the travels.

Long Zemin had the same fondness as Master did for spiritual plants and he added spirit beast zoology into the mix too, specifically insect spirit beasts. 

As for me, I don't know if it was guilt...Our master died from succumbing to injuries he sustained from a blackscale centipede.

He had gone to search for a particular herb that would help us breakthrough from the iron body to the bronze body and got injured in the process.

The injuries were severe and no matter where we went, or how much we begged, no one was willing to help us, and we could only watch him as his life flowed out of him.
