Meanwhile, Kevin and the others had already reached their destination.
"It should be up ahead, there's a small valley passage leading inside from that side. This place is really hidden."
Kevin searched according to the previously recorded information and quickly found the passage, entering a small valley.
"Oh, this place is really nice."
Menchi looked at this small valley, her eyes full of affection.
Kevin couldn't help but sigh as well; this place truly deserved to be called beautiful.
It was hidden among the mountains and forests, like a secluded paradise isolated from the world.
This valley was not large, you could see the end at a glance, and the ground was covered with colorful plants, as if it were a beautiful scene that would only appear in dreams.
There was a small waterfall cascading down the nearby cliff face, forming a small pool, and a winding stream passed through this place, flowing towards the distance through an underground river nearby.
Moreover, the unique natural structure of the valley allowed sunlight to shine in perfectly, and there were no large trees blocking the sky around.
There was a small hillside in the middle of the valley.
Pink flowers gathered at the top of the hillside, fully absorbing the most brilliant sunlight.
Kevin thought to himself, at night, this place must also be where moonlight gathers.
"This is the place you were looking for? It's amazing you were able to find information about this place."
Menchi was somewhat amazed; being able to come to such a hidden and beautiful place on this trip was already well worth it.
She even started to regret why she hadn't brought a camera or something similar; she really wanted to take photos of a place like this to preserve them.
The three passed through the valley floor and came to the top of the hillside, looking at the patch of pink flowers growing in the middle.
Kevin knelt down and gently touched the flowers with his hand.
Perfect, every flower made him feel a strong craving.
Every petal met the standard requirements.
Only the outermost patch didn't have every petal completely compliant, but every flower at least had petals that could be used for medicine.
And right in the middle, surrounded by these flowers, were over a dozen flowers clustered together; their golden color, which originally only existed at the bottom inside the petals, had now spread to the surface of the petals.
These golden patterns were like special decorations, growing on the pink petals, making these dozen or so flowers look particularly unique.
"They're really beautiful. If they could be transplanted, they would definitely sell for an extremely high price outside."
"Obviously not very likely. The environmental requirements here are very strict, you can tell from the plants."
"Even as specimens, their value wouldn't be low."
Menchi and Buhara discussed.
The fact that Kevin made a special trip here was enough to show the preciousness of this material, and its appearance was also so beautiful and distinctive.
For people who like flowers, grass, and plants, this is a very perfect collectible.
Kevin didn't pay attention to the two of them, but reached out and gently touched the dozen or so obviously different flowers in the very center.
Craving, an even stronger craving surged into his mind.
Seeing Kevin's focused expression, the two of them tacitly retreated down the hillside, no longer disturbing him.
At this moment, Kevin was indeed fully focused.
He could feel that the petals of these flowers in the middle, their material grade, were infinitely close to the limit of C-rank.
Moreover, careful observation would reveal that although the golden patterns appeared on the petals, these patterns seemed relatively scattered and not very obvious.
This indicated that these petals had not yet grown to their most perfect state, and they still had room for improvement.
From this, it could be inferred that if these flowers could grow in a completely suitable environment and receive careful nurturing, their material grade would definitely have a chance to reach B-rank.
What a pity, it was truly a pity.
In Kevin's opinion, the environment here was already considered relatively harsh, let alone that these flowers only grew at the top of the hillside, the best location.
Even under such superior conditions, the dozen or so flowers clustered in the very center, absorbing the most nutrients and sunlight, had only just grown into higher quality material.
To obtain perfect materials, it was truly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Alas.
Kevin sighed helplessly.
Growing flowers and such, he was indeed not very good at it.
He wondered if there were any relevant professional Hunters he could consult; if not, he would have Kate come examine the ecological environment here later and provide a detailed standard.
At this moment, Kevin was already thinking about how to cultivate these flowers.
The reason he valued these flowers so much was largely because these petals were extremely ideal [Fusion Agents].
Refining potions requires [Main Ingredient], [Secondary Ingredient], and [Fusion Agent].
Among these three, high-quality [Fusion Agents] are the most difficult to obtain; they not only need to be compatible with the characteristics of the main and secondary ingredients but also need to enhance the medicinal effect.
In the past, every time Kevin searched for suitable [Fusion Agent] materials, it would take a lot of time and effort, but he had previously discovered that these pink petals could be used for almost most potions; although not a panacea, this point alone was already outstanding enough.
And now, such petals even had room for growth; the materials he obtained before were merely underdeveloped substandard goods.
Their ultimate grade could even reach B-rank, and these flowers had seeds, could be planted, and could achieve sustainable acquisition.
How could such a discovery not make Kevin so excited?
Kevin first collected some seeds, and then selected some ordinary qualified petal materials.
After much deliberation, he selected one flower from the dozen or so in the middle that had a relatively better appearance and only three petals with golden patterns, and plucked it.
The rest of the flowers were left untouched.
After all, what he pursued was sustainable development.
This harvest could be called perfect; after confirming this area, the next step was to consider how to get control of this area.
The best way was to buy this plot of land along with the surrounding area, and then carry out protective construction here.
This kind of precious material was completely worth Kevin investing a large amount of money and effort to manage.
However, this matter had to be postponed for the time being.
"Are you done?" Menchi asked.
Kevin nodded: "Yes, I'm done. As long as I confirmed that these flowers are indeed here, I've achieved my goal."
"Are these flowers very important materials for your Nen abilities?" Menchi asked curiously.
"Sort of. Because using this material can save a lot of trouble and reduce many problems."
Hearing this answer, Menchi nodded understandingly.
She reminded him: "Then you'd best find a way to acquire this area. If you have a Hunter license, some procedural issues are relatively easy to resolve."
"I have that intention, but I need to wait for the right time."
The three quickly left here and returned along the way they came.
As they walked, they subtly adjusted their positions and acted with tacit understanding.
"That bird above us is watching us."
They realized they were being followed.
Kevin said in a low voice, "Wait for my command, I'm going to scan the surroundings with my Nen ability."
Saying that, Kevin suddenly released his Nen and quickly performed a scan of the surrounding environment.
"There's a Nen user!"
Kevin called out a warning, and the three immediately hid behind the cover they had chosen beforehand.
And that Nen user instantly sensed that they had been scanned by Nen and knew they had been exposed.
"Wait, we have no ill intentions, I am the captain of the Kakin Empire Special Operations Unit."
