Chapter 653

The atmosphere in the room was heavy. Luo Jie and the rest sat in silence, thinking about how to deal with the Gumi Family. After all, they were too few in number and didn't have the strength to completely suppress the Gumi Family. For example, experts like Qi Wuzhen. Therefore, they had to think of a strategy.

After a while, Guo Shier said, "We can't attack by force. We don't have the ability to take down Gumi City yet. If that's the case, why don't we attack the surrounding cities?"

Luo Jie nodded. "That's a good idea. But how are the defenses of the surrounding cities?" He glanced at Chen Tianyao, wanting to hear his opinion.

Chen Tianyao said, "The defenses of these eight cities aren't as strong as Gumi City. They don't have many Altar level experts …"

Guo Shier guessed, "Can we get reinforcements from the main cities at any time? With the main cities' strong teleportation ability, it should be easy to send Altar level experts to the surrounding cities. "

Chen Tianyao nodded in agreement. "Yes. If we attack any of the surrounding cities, we can get reinforcements from the other eight cities in a short period of time. This is a chain of attacks."

Qi Nanshan said, "That's normal. This is the core city of the central continent. It would be strange if the Gumi Family didn't have a complete defense system."

Luo Jie asked, "Shier, what do you think?"

Guo Shier laughed. "Nothing for now. My only thought is … Chen Tianyao, tell your woman to hurry up. I'm starving … haha."

Luo Jie laughed. "Little brat, all you know is to eat!"

Chen Tianyao laughed as well. He shouted, "Woman, hurry up!"

Mi Ruohua responded with a clear voice and said, "Come help me! I can't carry it … it's too heavy! "

Nan You stood up and said, "I'll go." He walked downstairs and soon returned with a large wooden bucket that was half the height of a person. It was a large bucket of broth and large pieces of cooked meat. The aroma wafted into their noses, causing them to salivate.

Mi Ruohua carried a large basket made of rattan. Inside were stacks of scones. She put down the basket and said, "Alright, we can eat now."

On the low table, everyone had a wooden tray and a wooden bowl the size of a washbasin. Mi Ruohua held a long iron ladle in her hand. She stirred the large wooden bucket and scooped up a large bowl of broth for everyone. She placed the cooked meat on the wooden tray and poured a special condiment over it. She smiled. "We don't have time to cook anything else. Let's eat first."

Chen Tianyao gave them an appreciative look and smiled, "My woman's cooking is very good. Everyone, try it. It tastes like a symbol food!" He praised proudly.

Luo Jie and the others nodded and started eating. In fact, their mouths had already been fed by Guo Shier, and they did not believe that an ordinary woman could cook anything delicious.

Guo Shier took a sip of the broth and tore open a piece of scone. When the soup entered his mouth, he couldn't help but be stunned. The taste was extremely delicious, without the slightest bit of greasy meat soup. A wave of fragrance spread in his mouth, and he couldn't help but praise, "Good! Good broth … No, the ingredients in the broth … I've never eaten them before! "

Mi Ruohua said, "Hehe, it's because of Storage Fruit. It's a spice unique to this place. It tastes different when it's in the broth."

Guo Shier had always been interested in special spices. Every time he went to a continent, he would collect spices. He immediately said, "Storage Fruit? Do you have more? Give me some. "

Mi Ruohua had a good impression of Guo Shier. She liked the things he gave her. She said, "I have a lot of Storage Fruit. There are more than ten Storage Fruit Trees in the backyard. There are plenty of fresh and dried fruits. This thing has no other use except for seasoning."

Guo Shier said happily, "There are Storage Fruit Trees? Hehe, that's great. I can plant it in a Botany Talisman. "

Everyone was full of praise as they ate. The taste was indeed extraordinary. Mi Ruohua's cooking was only average. But with the Storage Fruit, it was completely different. Even people like Luo Jie, who had been trained by Guo Shier to be picky, couldn't help but praise it. Everyone enjoyed the meal to their hearts' content.

After the meal, Mi Ruohua brought a basket of Storage Fruit. They were all dried fruits. She also took out a plate of fresh Storage Fruit and said, "These are dried fruits from the previous years. This plate of fresh fruits was harvested a few days ago. It's all for Uncle."

Guo Shier picked up a fresh fruit and looked at it. The Storage Fruit was bunched together. It looked like grapes from his previous life. The fresh fruit was the size of a quail's egg and was orange. The dried fruit was the size of a fingernail. It was dark brown and looked very unremarkable. He asked, "How do I use it?"

Mi Ruohua smiled and said, "Uncle, dried fruits and fresh fruits can be used the same way. Fresh fruits are not as effective as dried fruits, but they have a special fragrance. In the meat soup we just ate, I put two fresh fruits and one dried fruit. Just crush it and put it in."

Guo Shier put the Storage Fruit under his nose and sniffed it. He smelled a strong fragrance. It was the first time he smelled it. It was very special. He said, "Okay, I'll accept it. Thank you."

Mi Ruohua picked up a small pot beside her and said, "This is the seedling of the Storage Fruit."

Guo Shier transplanted the seedling into the Botany Talisman. There were eight seedlings in total. Before long, Guo Shier would be able to harvest the Storage Fruit he planted. Besides collecting materials, he liked to collect all kinds of strange plants and spices. Every continent had its own special seasoning and all kinds of special food. These were the goals of his collection. The pain of hunger in his previous life was deeply engraved in his soul. So he had the habit of collecting food.

Chen Tianyao asked, "How long are we staying here?"

Before Guo Shier and the others could say anything, Mi Ruohua became nervous. Her gaze swept back and forth, glancing at everyone. Guo Shier said with a smile, "We should be staying for a while. Grandpa Nanshan needs to stabilize his soul. I also need to stabilize my soul. We should stay for at least a dozen days."

Mi Ruohua could not hide her disappointment, but she did not dare to say anything.

Guo Shier asked, "Master, is it here?"

Luo Jie thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it here. Chen Tianyao, you stay as well. I'll give you a place."

Chen Tianyao still did not understand what this meant. He nodded and said, "Okay." He turned his head and said, "Woman, go do what you need to do. Come find me at night."

Mi Ruohua blushed. She stood up and said, "Yes." Then she turned and left. She knew these people had things to do. She was just an ordinary person. She did not understand anything and did not want to understand anything. Her only hope was that Chen Tianyao could stay for a few more days. Once Chen Tianyao left, who knew when he would return.

Guo Shier sat on the ground. Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan sat on either side of him. Falconer and Luo Zhan sat on either side of him. Nan You moved the fastest. He sat opposite Guo Shier. Chen Tianyao was confused. "What are you doing?" Everyone was sitting like a flower. He could not understand what they were doing.

Luo Jie said calmly, "Find a place to sit."

Chen Tianyao hesitated for a moment. Then he sat behind Luo Jie. Qi Nanshan said, "Sit properly and don't move." Chen Tianyao nodded in confusion. "Okay, I won't move …"

Guo Shier first took out the altar. The altar was the size of a round table. He sat on it. Then, Luo Jie and the others also took out their altars. They were all small altars, just enough for one person to sit on. They still sat around Guo Shier. Chen Tianyao was even more confused. But he was not stupid. He also took out his own altar. It hovered behind Luo Jie.

A wave of soul fluctuation spread out from Guo Shier. He began to chant the soul scripture.

This was Chen Tianyao's first time undergoing soul purification. He immediately felt the great benefits. His soul, which had been stuck at the fifth altar, began to purify bit by bit. This was something he could never achieve. After a moment, he understood that with this kind of soul fluctuation, he would not have to worry about advancing in the future. He could not help but be stunned.

The others were already used to Guo Shier's soul fluctuation. Without Guo Shier's soul fluctuation, they would not have been able to advance so quickly. Guo Shier had recently advanced to the fourth altar. His soul had improved greatly. He could also use a large number of soul orbs to quickly increase his soul's volume.

A surprised voice came from Luo Jie's altar. The blood woman popped her head out and asked: "What … What is this? This … Heavens, such a comfortable soul fluctuation … "

Luo Jie was afraid that she would disturb Guo Shier. He placed his finger on his lips and gently shushed her. He reached out his hand to press down on the blood woman's head, hinting for her to withdraw.

The blood woman shook her head with all her might. She whispered: "I want to stay outside …" She flew out of the altar and landed on Guo Shier's altar. This immediately provoked A Handsome Old Man. He popped his head out and said: "Girl, this is my territory!"

Luo Jie had a headache. He said: "Blood Woman, come back!"

Guo Shi 'er's soul energy paused for a second. He opened his eyes and looked at the blood lady, then he said, "Handsome old man, let her stay on the altar."

A Handsome Old Man angrily said: "How can a Guardian Spirit run around?" In fact, he was very envious. The blood woman could leave the altar, but he couldn't. There was a huge difference between the two.

The blood woman rolled her eyes and said: "Old man, you're too stingy. You're far worse than your master!"

A Handsome Old Man had been trying to digest the newly acquired altar soul. The blood woman was also doing the same. Under the suppression of their respective masters, they didn't have any conflicts. However, the two of them became enemies. They didn't have any good words when they saw each other. They were like enemies. A Handsome Old Man wasn't afraid of her, and the blood woman didn't care about A Handsome Old Man either.

Guo Shier no longer cared about the two Guardian Spirits. He closed his eyes and continued to chant the soul scripture.

After three hours of chanting, not only did it stabilize Qi Nanshan's soul, but it also stabilized his own soul. The ones who benefited the most were the blood woman and Chen Tianyao. Chen Tianyao almost jumped for joy. Ever since he advanced to the fifth layer of the altar, it was very difficult for him to make any progress. The impurities in his soul were the biggest hindrance to his advancement. Under Guo Shier's soul fluctuations, the impurities in his soul were gradually eliminated. Although three hours of purification was far from enough, he had the hope of advancing again.

When Guo Shier finished chanting, Chen Tianyao was still sitting on the altar. He was suddenly filled with emotions. There was actually such an astonishing soul fluctuation in this world. No wonder Guo Shier's status was not any lower than Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan's even though his rank wasn't the highest. He suddenly had a thought: This time, he wasn't unlucky at all. Instead, he was profiting from a disaster.

After Guo Shier finished chanting, the blood woman flew back to Luo Jie's altar. She exclaimed: "This is great! Hehe, I can still become stronger!"

A Handsome Old Man popped his head out and said: "Girl, as a Guardian Spirit, you must have the awareness of a Guardian Spirit. Don't casually run around!"

The blood woman choked: "None of your business! Old man, you just take care of yourself. Strange old man! "

A Handsome Old Man was so angry that he jumped up and down. However, he couldn't jump off the altar. He could only jump on top of the altar and scolded: "Stupid girl, you still dare to talk back!"
