When you see a person walking on the water like an immortal, you will generally feel particularly amazed. Not to mention other things, just the person's posture and manner of doing things, at a glance, you can tell that he is an expert, the kind that is very high, at least a dozen stories high.
However, if there was a flying sword pulling a rope in front of him, the image that had just been erected would immediately collapse.
"Ning Caichen?" Ren Baqian immediately thought of this name.
He was the only sword master that he knew. Moreover, Sword Masters were rare to begin with. At their peak, there were only a few hundred Sword Masters roaming the world during the Age of Chaos. Under normal circumstances, there would only be around a hundred Sword Masters. In such a vast world, most people wouldn't even see a single Sword Master in their lifetime.
Ren Baqian quickly shook his head. It shouldn't be him.
It was another sword master.
Ning Caichen's butt wasn't that high …
Ren Baqian touched his chin. He felt that his train of thought was a little off.
The other party was very fast. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he arrived at the opposite bank from the middle of the river. He first stepped on the back of the wood, then flipped in the air and grabbed the front end of the wood with both hands.
When he landed, he placed the piece of wood, which was about the length of a person, on his head. It was as if he was performing acrobatics and walked away. He didn't care about the three big ships here at all.
His speed wasn't slow. He didn't even sway with such a big piece of wood on his head.
Ren Baqian smacked his lips and felt that something was wrong with this scene.
It was a waste of his stunning appearance at the beginning.
He didn't know why, but he had the urge to knock that piece of wood off his head.
As for having a sword master in the same direction, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
He had long heard from Ning Caichen that most of the time, sword masters were busy looking for various materials in the wild. Therefore, it wasn't strange to see them here.
When sword masters appeared in Dayao, their targets were the various mountain ranges in Dayao or the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
For a moment, Ren Baqian felt that he should suggest to the empress that the land and mineral rights in Dayao belonged to the state and that treasures found in Dayao should be handed over in proportion.
However, this idea was just a thought and wasn't practical.
The rest of the journey was accompanied by heavy rain, torrential rain, and mud.
There were more hills and vegetation on both sides of the river than in the vicinity of Lan City.
The number of fields also began to decrease, replaced by large stretches of uninhabited dense forests. From time to time, the cries of birds and the roars of beasts could be heard.
This dense forest was like a primeval forest. From the outside, one could see dense vines hanging down from the tree trunks. Occasionally, one could see a few monkeys or other animals climbing up and down. There was also a giant snake that was thicker than a man lying on the dirt road, lazily basking in the sun.
These days, the meals were getting more and more sumptuous. Ren Baqian ate a lot of meat that he had never eaten before, and this broadened his horizons.
"What is this? Ginseng fruit? "
During the break, a group of students ran into the forest to hunt for treasures.
Not long after, they heard the roars of the beasts inside becoming more intense.
Then, he saw a student with a face full of scratches running back with two fruits in his arms.
"I'm just taking a look!" When Ren Baqian saw the unfamiliar fruit, he curiously went up to take a look.
It was fist-sized, jade-white, and sparkling and translucent. Like a shrunken head, its facial features were clear and distinct. One of them was crying, and the other was laughing.
There were even two leaves on it.
"Ginseng fruit?" Ren Baqian was surprised. This fruit really looked like a human face.
"It's the Skullcap Fruit …"
"Is it delicious?"
"It can eat a person's tongue." That student was very happy. This fruit was very rare and couldn't be found in Lan City. Even though his face was scratched by a few monkeys, it was worth it to obtain two Skullcap Fruits.
"Come, let me take a look." Ren Baqian held the two fruits in his hands, looked at them under the sunlight, and then put them into his clothes.
"They're mine!!!" That student's eyes widened when he saw Ren Baqian's actions.
"I'll give you something good to exchange for them." Ren Baqian grabbed a handful of White Rabbit Creamy Candies from the bag hanging on his back and stuffed them into the student's hands.
That student looked at the White Rabbit Creamy Candies in his hands and then looked at the two bulging buns in Ren Baqian's arms. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Peel off the skin before eating." Ren Baqian reminded the student when he saw him throw the candies into his mouth in grief and indignation.
"Your Majesty, I found something good." Ren Baqian happily carried the two fruits to the empress to present.
"What are these?" The empress had never seen these things before. She was very curious when she saw the two fruits that Ren Baqian took out.
"They're called Skullcap Fruits. Even though they look a little unique, their taste is said to be pretty good." Ren Baqian passed the two Skullcap Fruits to the empress, and she threw one to him.
"Crunch, crunch …" The empress took two bites and the fruit was gone.
"It's indeed pretty good." The empress nodded.
"Your Majesty, you should eat this too. I'll get someone to look for it later," Ren Baqian immediately said.
"Forget it. It's considered delicious to eat it occasionally. I'll get sick of it if I eat it all the time." The empress waved her hand.
Ren Baqian felt that these words could be applied to candies as well.
However, he appreciated the empress's good intentions. He took a bite of the fruit. It was fragrant, sweet, and tasty. His mouth was full of saliva. A burst of fragrance entered his brain from his mouth.
He finished the fist-sized fruit in a few bites. The fragrance lingered in his mouth for a long time.
Sure enough, he could even eat his own tongue.
After finishing one, Ren Baqian couldn't forget about it.
Not long after, he saw many students returning. Each and every one of them was holding a small beast or a fruit in their hands. His eyes swept across everyone's hands. It was a pity that there weren't any Kadsura Fruits.
"Everyone, come over here." Ren Baqian clapped his hands and called all the students over.
One by one, they looked to their left and right. They didn't know what he was going to do.
"Do you know about the Kadsura Fruit?" Ren Baqian asked.
"What is it?" Most of the students didn't know what it was.
"Those who don't know can ask him." Ren Baqian pointed at the student.
"Cough, cough. Ten pieces of White Rabbit Creamy Candies in exchange for one Kadsura Fruit." Ren Baqian touched his waist and a handful of White Rabbit Creamy Candies appeared in his hand.
Most of the students still didn't know what this thing was.
"Are you trying to bluff a child?" The little lolita was grabbing the ear of a babe. It was a rabbit-like creature with a large body size and a mouth full of fangs.
At this moment, it was like a toy in her hands.
"That isn't as delicious as the Kadsura Fruit." The little lolita curled her lips. Others might not have seen White Rabbit Creamy Candies, but she entered the palace every day. Every time, the empress would throw a few pieces to her.
Ren Baqian muttered to himself. It seemed like it wasn't easy to fool her.
"Five lollipops!" Ren Baqian inserted five lollipops between his fingers. It looked as if he had a few balls growing out of his fist.
The little lolita looked very conflicted. She was weighing whether five lollipops were worth one Kadsura Fruit.
"Teacher, what if I don't want the lollipops?" Du Laoliu immediately raised his hand. He wasn't a child. How could he possibly like this kind of thing that kids liked?
"Give me three points for the final exam. It will be counted as bonus points for social practice." Ren Baqian decided to use his trump card.
When he said this, most of the students' eyes lit up.
After all, they didn't know what White Rabbit Creamy Candies and lollipops were. However, the bonus of three points for the final exam was still very tempting to them.
Seeing that everyone was motivated, Ren Baqian added, "The final exam results will be posted in front of the school. By then, your family will know about it."
At this moment, everyone revealed an eager expression.
