"Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls? Is that worth anything? "
"Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls. If it were an ordinary 10 year old plant, it would require 10 stalks of Astral Souls to exchange for 1 contribution point. However, 10 year old Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls isn't enough for the Blackbone Snakes. What they need is at least 50 year old!"
"As for 50 year old Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls, each stalk is worth 10 contribution points!"
"There's a high chance that there's a group of Blackbone Snakes nearby. Based on my judgement, this group of Blackbone Snakes are at least 20 years old ….. In other words, there's definitely Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls nearby. Furthermore, there's plenty of them!"
"Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls is extremely small in size. It's usually mixed in with other weeds and is very difficult to find ….."
Li Chenglong stood up and continued, "But we've already confirmed that it's in this area. Just by digging up the weeds, we'll be able to find something!"
At this moment, his eyes lit up and his voice trembled, "Zuo, there's obviously a natural predator like the Three-Legged Python nearby. Yet, the Blackbone Snakes and Three Eared Rabbit would rather risk being eaten by the Three-Legged Python in order to stay here ….. that's enough to explain the problem and confirm the situation!"
After hearing Li Chenglong's words, Zuo Xiaoduo and the rest were all excited.
"How big is the area you've estimated?" Zuo Xiaoduo asked.
"It should be ….." Li Chenglong replied, "It shouldn't exceed 2 km. As for where the weeds are the thickest, we'll just dig it out. Once we've dug it out, you don't have to identify it. I'll just search for it bit by bit. "
"Alright! Let's do that! "
Zuo Xiaoduo ordered, "Dig up the roots!"
Li Zhangming and Yu Moyan didn't say a word. They immediately took action. The two of them stood side by side and quickly assembled two large shovels. With a 'heh' sound, they lifted more than ten square meters of grass into the air. With a shake of their hands, the soil was shaken clean, leaving only the white and tender grass roots sticking upwards.
Zuo Xiaoduo, Wanli Xiu and the rest followed suit. Along the way, they dug up the surrounding grass like a yellow dragon.
In the air, Qin Fangyang, who had been paying attention to this side, sighed, "Do you see that? This is the effect that Li Chenglong can display in a group … Even if you look at the entire continent, there are very few who can replicate this effect!"
"Amazing!"
The teacher by the side sighed in admiration.
"A martial artist's cultivation relies on talent, hard work, and the support of their family. These are already common knowledge. Relying on knowledge outside of cultivation … Although many people think it's feasible, how many people can actually put it into action? How many of them will study the excrement of star beasts? "
Another teacher sighed, "This isn't just a matter of studying one or two piles of excrement. You have to know the habits of every star beast, be familiar with every food chain, and then be familiar with all their habits. You also have to know what each star beast likes to eat, what it can eat, what kind of environment it likes, what kind of Heaven and Earth treasures it needs, what it looks like before it's eaten, and what it looks like after it's excreted ….. Finally, you have to summarize everything!"
"This isn't something that can be explained by the gift of eidetic memory!"
"Other people, even if they know how to study excrement, may not be able to think of so much. But this Li Chenglong, using the traces in the excrement as a clue, actually deduced that there's an old Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls nearby. He's a f * cking genius! "
"Other people risked their lives and fought until their heads bled. It's already worth it to be able to get eight or ten contribution points after one experience. But these guys ….. with Li Chenglong's guidance, they can get a lot of points just by digging up the grass."
"This can only be said to be fate and luck."
Qin Fangyang faintly said, "Li Chenglong's cultivation was shallow before, and it's not like everyone didn't know that he was knowledgeable. Perhaps there were only a few people who really thought highly of him, but Zuo Xiaoduo has always treated him as a friend. This can be said to be where Zuo Xiaoduo's personal charm lies. "
"That's true."
That teacher was very much in agreement. "That's right. If Li Chenglong were in another team, he might not be so dedicated. But in Zuo Xiaoduo's team, he can do his best. This can be said to be congenial. "
"It's not congenial."
Qin Fangyang said faintly, "We're brothers."
That teacher was stunned, then nodded deeply. "That's right, we're brothers."
…
While Qin Fangyang and the others were talking, the people below had already found something.
"Swollen, there are some light purple grasses in the grass roots here. They're segmented … Is that the Intermittent Grass?" Zuo Xiaoduo shouted.
"Don't move!" Li Chenglong shouted nervously. "Let me do it."
"Whoosh!"
Li Chenglong almost rolled and crawled all the way over. "You guys, come over and see the real thing."
Li Chenglong squatted in front of a pile of overturned grass roots.
"That's right. This is the Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls, and it's very old!"
"The leaves of this Intermittent Grass are very small, and they grow together with ordinary grass roots. If it's not light purple, they're no different from weeds. As for the segmented shape of the grass roots, it's also very particular. The Intermittent Grass grows a segment every three years. In terms of appearance, it's broken and renewed every three years. That's how the Intermittent Grass got its name."
"This is one segment, two segments …"
Li Chenglong gasped. "Xiao Duo found this batch of Intermittent Grass. Each of them has more than 15 segments, and many of them have more than 20 segments … That means they're 60-year-old Intermittent Grass! Oh my god … "
"Don't move, don't move! Older Intermittent Grass needs to be separated with a jade shovel, and then immediately put into the Jade Box of Astral Souls … I have the Jade Box of Astral Souls on my back. Don't move it … "
"Don't move those with three or four segments. Just leave them here. They'll naturally drill into the soil again … But those with more than 10 segments, I'll put them all away. These are one, two, three, four … I'm rich, hahaha …"
Li Chenglong laughed devilishly.
"Nine! There are nine older Intermittent Grass in this patch! Continue to search, quickly, quickly … "Li Chenglong quickly put away the nine Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls. Then, he began to finish the work. He checked all the grass one by one. After checking, he immediately put them back, no matter if they were still there or not.
On the other side, Yu Moyan shouted, "There's one here too!"
Then, Long Yusheng shouted, "There's one here too!"
Wan Li Xiu said excitedly, "I have one too, I have one too!"
Zuo Xiaoduo and the others turned around in surprise. They all gave Long Yusheng a thumbs up. "Brother, you've got guts!"
Wan Li Xiu was stunned for a moment. Then, she understood immediately. Her face turned red. Other than Li Chenglong, she started to chase after the others!
"A bunch of stinky hooligans, uncivilized scum!"
Long Yusheng grinned wretchedly. "I haven't even started yet …"
Bang! Long Yusheng was kicked away by Wan Li Xiu.
The six of them pushed forward like a bulldozer. From time to time, they would shout in surprise.
Of course, along with the huge harvest came trouble. The Black Bone Snakes nearby had been alerted by their repeated actions. They immediately attacked this group of intruders.
However, the Black Bone Snakes were only beginner level astral beasts. Although they had venomous fangs, with Zuo Xiaoduo and the others' skills, as long as they were careful, they wouldn't have a hard time.
"Don't kill them!"
Li Chenglong continued to cook the Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls as he shouted, "The Black Bone Snakes' feces are the best fertilizer for the Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls. With the Black Bone Snakes here, the Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls will grow very quickly. With enough nutrients, it can even grow by one section per year."
The six of them who were about to start a massacre suddenly changed their battle strategy. In a moment, the Black Bone Snakes were tossed high into the air and thrown far away.
Until the end …
Zuo Xiaoduo pinched a Black Bone Snake that was as thick as a water bucket. He looked left and right, "Is this the king of snakes? Why is it so big? "
This Blackbone Snake, which was as thick as a water bucket and over 30 feet long, was pinched by Zuo Xiaoduo at its weakest point. Other than its body convulsing, it could not move at all. Its originally sinister and cold eyes were now filled with fear.
"Let's release this Black Bone Snake. Although it can be exchanged for over ten contribution points, if we take it away, the Black Bone Snakes here will have no one to rely on. I'm afraid they will be wiped out."
Li Chenglong said, "This is the king of snakes. Let it go. "
"Alright."
Zuo Xiaoduo released the Black Bone Snake King. This Black Bone Snake King was obviously scared out of its wits. For a moment, it didn't run away. Instead, it curled up on the ground.
"Damn it, don't tell me you still want a gift? It's not like we're here to visit relatives … "
Zuo Xiaoduo had no choice but to throw an elixir pill into the snake's mouth. The Black Bone Snake King swallowed the pill and nodded at Zuo Xiaoduo. Then, it slithered away.
…
The teachers in the sky exchanged glances with each other. Their eyes were filled with astonishment and amazement — —
One of the teachers commented, "They are indeed a unique group. To think that they would let go of the Dark Boned Snake King that they had obtained. That plaything is worth at least 15 contribution points. That's equivalent to the entire earnings of some small teams in a single mission!"
Another teacher said, "I know that Li Chenglong's idea of letting go of the Black Bone Snake King is to maintain the ecological balance of this region. This is to prevent the Black Bone Snakes from losing their support and causing them to be wiped out. But … .the star beasts in the outside world have their own ways of survival. The ecosystem of this region is extremely fragile and could collapse at any moment. Is there really a need to do this?"
The first teacher said, "That's not what I'm surprised about. What I'm surprised about is that Zuo Xiaoduo actually accepted Li Chenglong's suggestion. He's the true decision-maker of their team. This …."
Qin Fangyang sighed softly, "Perhaps, this is the way their team interacts. Between them, it's more about trust. Since Li Chenglong said it, Zuo Xiaoduo believed it and accepted it. It has nothing to do with anything else!"
…
"Our harvest this time is pretty good."
Li Chenglong counted and smiled from ear to ear. He said, "Our total harvest this time is one century-old Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls, seven 60- to 80-year-old Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls, nineteen 50-year-old Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls, and thirty 30- to 50-year-old Intermittent Grass of Astral Souls!"
"We're rich, we're really rich! The contribution points this time are at least over a thousand! "
Li Zhangming's eyes darted around, and he suddenly asked, "Zuo, how are we going to split the contribution points this time?"
The moment he asked this question, the six youths fell silent.
Above, Qin Fangyang's body stiffened. He stared at them for a long time.
The most crucial moment had arrived.
