"Sect Master Gu, are you curious about what this is?"
The eldest of the three Ling sisters, Ling Xue, spoke up. Her eyes, which were staring at Gu Zheng, blinked gently, and were undoubtedly seducing him!
"Yes, other than being curious about what this is, I'm also curious about how you found these ingredients and herbs!"
Gu Zheng stared into Ling Xue's eyes, easily maintaining his calm. Not to mention Ling Xue's ordinary electric sparks, even if she used a charm technique, as long as Gu Zheng wanted to resist the temptation, he could easily use a calming technique to deal with it.
Seeing that Gu Zheng did not avoid eye contact and was unmoved, Ling Xue's eyes flashed with surprise. After all, before this, Gu Zheng's gaze had never met hers for such a long time.
"You really surprise me time and time again. Martial Uncle is becoming more and more unfathomable!"
Without directly answering Gu Zheng's question, Ling Xue's gaze towards Gu Zheng was no longer seductive, and there was an indescribable emotion in it. Without mentioning anything else, just Situ's family's Situ Cong, who was at the initial stage of the fifth level, was subdued by Ling Xue's gaze. Later on, when he showed off near the Hidden Sword Peak, he actually wanted to impress Ling Xue.
The change in Ling Xue's attitude surprised Gu Zheng. This was the first time she had used the term 'Martial Uncle'.
However, doubts aside, Gu Zheng also had some conjectures. He felt that the change in Ling Xue's attitude should be related to her gaze just now, or it should be related to his Mind Calming Technique! However, Gu Zheng was puzzled. Wasn't he just unmoved by her gaze? Was there a need to change so much?
"Sect Master Gu, what secrets do you have? Can you tell us more about it? In exchange, I'll answer your question just now! "
Ling Yu naturally saw the change in her eldest sister. She was a little unconvinced and surprised, but when she spoke, her expression was one of innocence.
The three Ling sisters were originally very beautiful, and Ling Yu's current appearance was even more adorable, making one unable to resist the urge to answer her questions.
"If what Martial Uncle is asking about is your secret, then I apologize for my rudeness."
To Gu Zheng, Ling Yu's current charming appearance was no different from Ling Xue's previous gaze. He only needed to restrain his mind and didn't even need to use the Mind Calming Technique.
"Martial Uncle's question is indeed a secret. However, a secret depends on the person. I feel that it is not impossible to tell Martial Uncle this secret." Ling Xue lightly smiled.
Second Sister had already tested him. Ling Xue was rather shocked. The three sisters had a rare natural body constitution, and they had indeed cultivated the Art of Seduction. However, the Purple Cloud Palace was a righteous sect. Things like the Art of Seduction were only used as a form of entertainment between companions. They were strictly forbidden from using it unless absolutely necessary.
Although they didn't use any charming techniques on Gu Zheng, their natural charm couldn't be underestimated. If they didn't suppress their natural instincts, they would be able to charm the heavens with every movement, just like Ling Yu just now. This was a very natural display of their natural instincts.
If Gu Zheng's cultivation was already at the middle stage of the fifth layer, Ling Xue and the others wouldn't be too surprised if he could face the Art of Seduction so easily. After all, to cultivators, the fifth layer mainly cultivated the state of mind. It was understandable that they had an extraordinary resistance to things like seduction. However, Gu Zheng's cultivation was only at the late stage of the fourth layer. For a late stage of the fourth layer cultivator to be able to be so indifferent in the face of the Art of Seduction, how could they not be shocked!
"I appreciate Martial Nephew's good intentions. If there is any trouble, it's fine if Martial Uncle doesn't know." Gu Zheng smiled.
"There is nothing to be troubled about! Look, you only cared about talking and didn't even invite Martial Uncle to sit. Martial Uncle, please! "
Ling Yu's attitude towards Gu Zheng also changed. She laid a blanket on the ground for Gu Zheng with a smile. After the Ranking Gathering, Gu Zheng had completely made the three Ling sisters look at him in a different light. Now, he was actually able to resist and remain unmoved in the face of Heaven's Charm. This won him Ling Yu's respect.
Seeing that Gu Zheng sat down, Ling Xue said, "The things cooked in the pot are not all ingredients. Some of them are medicinal herbs. The purpose of cooking these things is not to eat, but to prolong their quality. After we leave Shu Ruins, we will process them into high-end skincare products and cosmetics. "
Quality was a very important thing. For example, the various fruits in Shu Ruins. If Gu Zheng didn't have the Chaos Space, he would have to spend a lot of effort just to preserve the quality of these things.
Seeing that Gu Zheng nodded in understanding, Ling Xue said again, "As for finding ingredients and medicinal herbs, we rely on this!"
"Squeak squeak …"
Ling Xue pursed her red lips and made a sound. Immediately, a small thing poked its head out of a big bag on the ground.
"Martial Uncle, do you recognize this spirit beast?"
The spirit beast came out of the bag. It looked like a combination of a mole and a squirrel. Most of its body looked like a squirrel, but its mouth was long and thin. When it breathed, its nose trembled especially violently. It was obvious that it had a very sensitive sense of smell.
"This is the 'Treasure Hunting Mole', a very rare spirit beast."
The voice of the Weapon Spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind. Gu Zheng also said the name of the little spirit beast.
"Martial Uncle is so knowledgeable. I didn't expect you to recognize such a rare spirit beast! The reason why we were able to find these medicinal herbs and ingredients was all because of this little fellow's sensitive sense of smell. "Ling Xue smiled.
"I really didn't expect that such a rare spirit beast like the Treasure Hunting Mole would not only be obtained by you, but also be able to tame it. This is really not easy. However, this little fellow looks small, but its appetite is very big. Every time we find medicinal herbs and ingredients, it will first taste a little before it is willing to continue working."
Gu Zheng was very emotional and conveniently borrowed the knowledge that he had just obtained from the Weapon Spirit. As for the intelligent Treasure Hunting Mole, it seemed to know that Gu Zheng had said something bad about it. Its nose twitched and it kept squeaking at Gu Zheng.
"Martial Uncle, this little fellow is laughing at you!"
Ling Yu laughed and reached out to comfort the squeaking Treasure Hunting Mole.
"It's not big, but it has a big temper! Seeing that your appearance is quite likable, I'll give you a gift for our first meeting! "
Gu Zheng gave the Treasure Hunting Mole the 'Double Star Rehmannia' that he had obtained after entering the Bluestone Wasteland.
The Treasure Hunting Mole hugged the 'Double Star Rehmannia' and very sensibly took a bite at the corner. It narrowed its eyes comfortably and chewed.
"Martial Uncle is so generous. Such a big piece of 'Double Star Rehmannia' must be worth a lot!" Ling Xue laughed.
The 'Double Star Rehmannia' was indeed very valuable. It could be considered as a medicinal herb of the same grade as Gu Zheng's Jade Poria. Moreover, this' Double Star Rehmannia 'had grown very big. Its stem was already as thick as a pigeon's egg, and its chopsticks were long and short. Its quality was even better than Gu Zheng's Jade Poria.
"Martial Uncle, you're changing your way of scolding people!"
Ling Bing, who had not spoken much, pouted at Gu Zheng.
"How am I scolding people?" Gu Zheng was stunned.
"The Treasure Hunting Mole can't eat much of the same medicinal herb or ingredient at one time. I think Martial Uncle definitely understands this. The reason why Martial Uncle is so generous is naturally because he is grateful that we told him the truth. The leftovers of the Treasure Hunting Mole can be considered as our reward. But since that's what you think, why did you say that it was a meeting gift for the pleasant-looking Treasure Hunting Mole? Could it be that in your eyes, the three of us pleasant-looking sisters are Treasure Hunting Mole? Or are the pleasant-looking Treasure Hunting Mole on the same level as us? "Ling Bing said, feeling wronged.
Gu Zheng did not expect that Ling Bing, who looked like she did not speak much, would be so sharp with her words.
Indeed, Gu Zheng had given out the entire 'Double Star Rehmannia' out of gratitude. But Ling Bing's words after that were to incriminate him!
"Martial Nephew's words are so sharp! Martial Uncle's words were inappropriate. Please don't blame him! "
Gu Zheng laughed and wanted to turn the page. However, Ling Bing did not intend to do so.
"Let's not talk about other things, but Martial Uncle is stingy! I already said that it was a meeting gift. Where is the meeting gift for us three sisters? "
Ling Bing did not give up. Ling Xue and Ling Yu covered their mouths and snickered. They wanted Gu Zheng to give them a meeting gift.
"Haha … So you want a meeting gift. That's easy!"
Gu Zheng laughed and directly reached into his backpack. In fact, he took out three Spirit Pills from the Chaos Space.
"High-grade Spirit Beast Spirit Pills. I wonder if this meeting gift is passable?"
Although the Ling Sisters must have obtained some spirit pills from high-grade spirit beasts when they were cleaning the orchard, it could still be used to refine the 'Realm Pill' that could be consumed by cultivators at the fifth layer. This was not a small gift.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle!"
The three sisters happily accepted the Spirit Pills.
Ling Bing suddenly thought of something and asked with her eyes wide open, "Three high-grade Spirit Pills. You took them out without batting an eye. Now that they have appeared in the Bluestone Wasteland, has Martial Uncle already cleaned the orchard?"
"Yes, I've already cleaned it!"
Gu Zheng nodded. He once again witnessed Ling Bing's meticulousness.
"Of the four people from Emei who entered the Shu Ruins, only Martial Uncle can't be described with common sense. Could it be that the three of them can't be described with common sense? It's really not simple. It's only the second night of the opening of the Shu Ruins. Our Purple Cloud Palace's orchard was also cleaned at noon today! "
Ling Bing's beautiful eyes were wide open. When she mentioned the Purple Cloud Palace, she did not mean to belittle Emei. Instead, she raised Emei! After all, on the surface, Gu An and Liu Ying's cultivation levels were very low. Even Zhang Tiancheng's cultivation level was very low in the eyes of other sects.
Gu Zheng only smiled and did not say anything in the face of Ling Bing's lamentation.
"Martial Uncle, Bing 'er has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it!"
Ling Bing's voice suddenly became soft. Even the gaze she looked at Gu Zheng was gentle.
Gu Zheng's heart tightened, and he blurted out, "You shouldn't say it!"
"No, even if I don't say it, I still want to say it!"
Ling Bing shook her head stubbornly. There was a hint of seriousness in her gentle eyes. "Martial Uncle, do you want to be Bing 'er's cultivation partner?"
Gu Zheng's head buzzed. What he was afraid of really happened!
Was this a confession? This isn't it!
Becoming a cultivation partner was different from professions in the secular world. Cultivation partners were more for each other's cultivation needs. However, regardless of the details, this was the first time Gu Zheng had been questioned by a beautiful woman in his life.
Seeing that Gu Zheng did not speak, Ling Bing spoke again. "Martial Uncle, as a cultivator, I don't think you care about age, right? Moreover, Bing 'er is a girl! "
Cultivators were indeed different from girls in the secular world. When Ling Bing said these words, she did not feel shy at all. She was affectionate and rational. As for her eldest and second sisters, although they did not say anything, there was undisguised admiration and envy in their eyes. Obviously, her "confession" was something that her two sisters wanted to do but did not dare to do.
"Martial Nephew, you're making Martial Uncle very embarrassed! Martial Uncle has no intention of finding a cultivation partner. "
Gu Zheng shook his head and spoke very seriously.
"Martial Uncle, are you really not going to consider it? Cultivation partners do not have to be together all day long. You can also come to the Purple Cloud Palace every month when you need to cultivate. "
Ling Bing was somewhat disappointed, but she did not have the shameful reaction of a woman in the secular world who was rejected.
"Martial Nephew, Martial Uncle has no need to lie about this matter. I really have no intention of finding a cultivation partner."
Gu Zheng looked at Ling Bing, his eyes as calm as a deep lake. He did not need to become a cultivation partner. His cultivation speed was too fast. The increase of Yin Yang Dual Cultivation was not in his eyes at all!
"Alright, then let's talk about something else!"
Ling Bing was also open-minded. Seeing that Gu Zheng's attitude was firm, she tactfully did not say anything more.
The situation was a little awkward. Gu Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Martial Nephews, Martial Uncle suddenly thought of something. Do you have any extra high-quality ingredients? I want to exchange them with you!"
"Yes!"
The three sisters spoke almost at the same time. They had obtained a lot of ingredients, and these ingredients could only be divided into two categories in their hands: those with medicinal value, and those with only edible value.
If Gu Zheng did not ask, the ingredients with only edible value would only be eaten by them. It was better to exchange for some resources, or to befriend Gu Zheng.
After a while.
A large pile of ingredients was taken out by Ling Xue. There were more than 30 of them, and all of them were plant-type ingredients.
Among the 30 ingredients, the lowest quality was second-grade. This category accounted for more than half of the total, and there were more than 20 of them.
There were 12 normal-grade ingredients, but their quality could only be considered mediocre among ingredients of the same grade.
However, what surprised Gu Zheng the most was that among these ingredients, there was a middle-grade "golden-skinned peanut"!
"Martial Uncle, what is this peanut-like ingredient? When the treasure-hunting mole was searching for the Dao, he actually hid one, which was rare, and could not bear to eat it. "
Ling Bing asked, as if she had forgotten the disappointment of being rejected.
"This is a very rare ingredient, and its taste is very different from ordinary peanuts." Gu Zheng said honestly.
"After hearing what Martial Uncle said, I really want to try the taste of these golden-skinned peanuts. However, since you took it out to exchange with Martial Uncle, I think we should just forget about it! "
Ling Yu licked her lips, and her eyes were filled with reluctance.
"The fruits on this peanut are quite dense, so it's not a big deal for each of us to try one. If you want to try it, go ahead. I will also exchange the resources according to the standard in my heart." Gu Zheng smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle!"
The three sisters thanked him, and Ling Bing picked a peanut and handed it to Gu Zheng. "Martial Uncle, you should try one too."
Gu Zheng nodded, and pinched the peanut shell with his fingers, which immediately let out a crisp sound.
The golden-skinned peanuts were all single fruits, and there was only one in each shell. The outer layer of the peanut was golden, and it was somewhat dazzling.
It was a mid-grade ingredient that could be eaten directly. Gu Zheng was also extravagant today, and he was naturally looking forward to the taste of it.
As the golden-skinned peanuts entered his mouth, Gu Zheng chewed and let out a crisp sound. The unique fragrance of the peanuts, mixed with a milky fragrance, immediately exploded in his mouth.
At first, the fragrance was sweet, but the more he chewed, the more intense the fragrance became, until the surrounding air was filled with a sweet fragrance.
"Delicious!"
The three Ling sisters said at the same time, and their eyes were slightly narrowed, as if they were enjoying it.
"It is indeed delicious!"
Gu Zheng nodded. It was just a small peanut, yet it tasted so fragrant and made one salivate. Mid-grade ingredients were indeed extraordinary.
"I want all of these ingredients, regardless of whether they are good or bad. I won't give you any mid-grade spirit pills, but high-grade spirit pills. I'll give you a total of fifteen high-grade spirit pills!"
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, the three Ling sisters' eyes widened! To them, these things were just ingredients. Except for the golden-skinned peanuts, which were slightly special, the rest were not too big of a problem even if they were given away for free. The three high-grade spirit pills they expected were already the best they could get.
"Uncle-Master, this, this is not so much!"
Ling Xue hurriedly waved her hand and did not take the spirit pills that Gu Zheng handed over.
"First impressions may not be accurate. Uncle-Master is in a good mood today, so just take it!"
Gu Zheng acted like an elder, and his words were sincere and generous.
"It seems that we did not leave a good impression on Uncle-Master when we were at the Hidden Sword Peak!"
Ling Xue did not hesitate and happily took the spirit pills that Gu Zheng gave her.
"Haha …"
Gu Zheng smiled and did not say anything.
Indeed, Gu Zheng's initial impression of the three Ling sisters was that they were loose and not dignified.
The three Ling sisters were not bad people, and today, they had indeed changed Gu Zheng's impression of them. However, what made Gu Zheng really happy was that he unexpectedly obtained a mid-grade ingredient!
"Uncle-Master, you spent so much in exchange for some ingredients. Bing 'er is really curious. What are you going to do with them? Is it just to enjoy the taste of good food? "Ling Bing asked curiously.
"It's not just to enjoy the taste of good food. Everything has a Dao, and Uncle-Master's Dao is in this food!"
Gu Zheng looked up at the starry sky and said a very fake lie.
The three Ling sisters followed Gu Zheng's gaze and looked up. Their eyes were misty and seemed to be full of thoughts.
"Alright, Uncle-Master will take his leave first. There are other things waiting for me to do."
Knowing when to stop, Gu Zheng quickly bid farewell to the three Ling sisters. He did not want to stay here any longer and be asked some difficult questions by the meticulous Ling Bing.
The three Ling sisters urged Gu Zheng to stay, but in the end, they could not change Gu Zheng's determination. They could only watch as he disappeared under the moonlight.
"Sect Master, you're really good. In the eyes of other sects, the women of the Purple Cloud Palace are all on the level of fairies!" Liu Ying looked at Gu Zheng and laughed secretly.
"Yes, yes, our Sect Master is still very charming!" Gu An also teased.
"The two of you, do you think it's very easy now? If that's the case, the two of you will go and find the ingredients for me tonight. If you can't find the quantity and quality that I set, don't come back! "Gu Zheng said with a fake smile.
"Don't, Sect Master, we know our mistake."
"Seeing that we were ignored just now, Sect Master, please forgive us!"
Gu An and Liu Ying hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Sect Master, what should we do next?"
Knowing that Gu Zheng was joking with Gu An and the others, Zhang Tiancheng asked what he was most concerned about at the moment.
"The Purple Cloud Palace has a treasure-hunting mole, and there are other sects active in the herb area. Since that's the case, we might as well go to the real wilderness and try our luck!" Gu Zheng said.
Today was already the third day of the opening of the Shu Ruins. Under the noon sun, Gu Zheng and the others, who were returning, were about to reach the orchard of Emei.
The time to try their luck in the wilderness was actually only one night. Gu Zheng and the others entered a forest and also had some gains.
They killed a few spirit beasts and obtained seven spirit pills of various levels.
They encountered two or three small fragrant pear trees and picked thirteen small fragrant pears.
He had harvested more than ten Inferior Grade ingredients. As for Ordinary Grade ingredients, he had harvested four of them, all of which were mushrooms.
After returning to the orchard, Gu Zheng roasted some meat. After everyone ate, they began to clean the orchard for the second time.
Spirit beasts appeared in the orchard again, but the number was less than Gu Zheng had expected. In the huge Emei orchard, Gu Zheng and the others only obtained more than thirty spirit pills of various levels.
After cleaning up the Emei orchard, Gu Zheng led Gu An and the others to clean up the orchards of the Qingcheng Sect and Situ's family. They obtained a total of forty-four spirit pills of various levels.
The cleaning before the fruits ripened had come to an end. Even if spirit beasts entered the orchard again, the number would be very small. Excluding some unpredictable factors, Gu Zheng and the others expected to obtain at least eighty-five percent of the exotic fruits in the three orchards!
When the exotic fruits were ripe, they had to be picked quickly. If they were not picked for a period of time, they would begin to deteriorate. Therefore, the process of picking the exotic fruits was also a race against time. Moreover, it was inevitable that spirit beasts would come later to steal the fruits of victory.
Gu Zheng decided to divide the four of them into three teams to collect the exotic fruits. Gu Zheng would be in a team alone, Gu An and Zhang Tiancheng would be in a team, and Liu Ying would be in a team alone.
Gu An and Liu Ying could not release their inner strength, so the speed of collecting the exotic fruits would be very slow.
Zhang Tiancheng could release his inner strength, but without the help of others, his speed would not be fast.
Now that they were divided into three teams, it was the best distribution. Zhang Tiancheng was only responsible for knocking down the exotic fruits, and Gu An was responsible for catching the fruits he knocked down.
Gu Zheng had the primitive space. As long as he swept the exotic fruits, he could directly store them, which was the most efficient.
Liu Ying was in a team alone. She was more outstanding than Gu An. Now that she was at the late stage of the third level, she was ordered by Gu Zheng to eat the fruits until she reached the early stage of the fourth level and could release her inner strength. Once she could release her inner strength, the efficiency of collecting the fruits would be much higher.
On Gu An's side, when he encountered an exotic fruit that was not easy to store, he would eat it directly and rush to the next level. As for the exotic fruits, it was more cost-effective to take them out for alchemy.
Liu Ying was in charge of the orchard of the Qingcheng Sect, Zhang Tiancheng and Gu An were in charge of the orchard of the Situ Family, and Gu Zheng was in charge of the orchard of the Emei Sect.
In the orchard of the Emei Sect, Gu Zheng stared at a spirit peach tree for the whole night! He wanted to use the spirit peach worm to attract an earth spirit turtle, but unfortunately, after a night, the earth spirit turtle he was looking forward to did not appear.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on Gu Zheng in the morning, Gu Zheng's body emitted a golden light. He had taken the Immortal Vitality Pill the night before. At this moment, Gokusen Technique had finally advanced to the third level of the third level. His current cultivation was equivalent to that of a cultivator at the early stage of the fifth level.
The fragrance of the ripened exotic fruits in the orchard immediately became stronger after the sunlight appeared, making people feel refreshed.
Gu Zheng took action. With a wave of his hand, a bunch of ripe Blood Crystal Grapes fell and were stored in the Untainted Space.
The ripe Blood Crystal Grapes looked more attractive. Gu Zheng also wanted to have a taste, but he really had no time to be distracted, because the thing to steal the fruits of victory had appeared.
A one-foot-long "Colorful Flying Ant" entered the orchard and tried to steal the Blood Crystal Grapes.
"Go to hell!"
When the "Colorful Flying Ant" was about to steal the Blood Crystal Grapes, Gu Zheng released his internal force and killed it directly.
The "Colorful Flying Ant" was considered a big threat to the orchard. Every time the fruits were ripe, they would appear, and it was the same every time the Shu Ruins opened.
There were boundaries in the periphery and the depths of the Shu Ruins. Almost all spirit beasts could not cross them, but the "Colorful Flying Ant" was very rare. It could travel freely between the depths and the periphery.
Fortunately, there were not many "Colorful Flying Ants" that could pass through the boundaries. Otherwise, the orchard outside would definitely suffer.
Gu Zheng picked up the fruits faster. In a very short time, he had already stored all the Blood Crystal Grapes in the Untainted Space.
After picking the Blood Crystal Grapes, Gu Zheng immediately ran to the spiritual peach tree.
Looking at the Spirit Peach Tree from afar, Gu Zheng was instantly enraged. An Earth Spirit Turtle was arrogantly standing under the tree, sucking a Spirit Peach Tree in one gulp and eating happily.
"You're courting death!"
Gu Zheng cursed in his heart. He released the "Proud Wind Bamboo Arrow" and was about to pierce the Earth Spirit Turtle's neck.
The Earth Spirit Turtle's reaction was very sharp. At the critical moment, it drilled into the soil. The "Proud Wind Bamboo Arrow" could only leave a white spot on its back.
"Damn Earth Spirit Turtle!"
Looking at the spiritual peaches on the tree, Gu Zheng cursed again. The Earth Spirit Turtle had stolen at least three spiritual peaches. For Gu Zheng, a fruit farmer, this was a heartache!
Compared to Gu Zheng's side, Liu Ying's side was relatively smooth. After the fruits ripened, she ate some spiritual peaches to advance her cultivation. Then, she released her inner strength to pick the fruits.
As for Zhang Tiancheng's side, the situation was even worse than Gu Zheng's. Three "Colorful Flying Ants" appeared at the beginning, and a bunch of Blood Crystal Grapes were stolen.
Fortunately, the "Colorful Flying Ants" were not very intelligent. They were quickly dealt with by Zhang Tiancheng.
However, in the process of picking the fruits, Zhang Tiancheng and Gu An encountered seven low-rank and middle-rank spirit beasts! The most abominable of all was a Growling Pig. After it rammed into the Vermilion Fruit Tree, the fruits on the tree fell and more than half of them were broken! In the process of picking the fruits, Gu An also advanced to the early fourth level.
Gu Zheng seized every second to snatch the mutated fruits. He was the first to pick all the mutated fruits in the orchard, so he immediately rushed to the next orchard.
At noon, the fruits were all picked. Gu Zheng and the others gathered together and began to count their harvest.
"The Emei Orchard harvested 1,800 Vermilion Fruits, 605 Spiritual Peaches, and 234 Blood Crystal Grapes."
"The Situ Family's orchard harvested 1,540 Vermilion Fruits, 500 Spiritual Peaches, and 170 Blood Crystal Grapes."
"The Qingcheng Orchard harvested 1,350 Vermilion Fruits, 430 Spiritual Peaches, and 144 Blood Crystal Grapes."
Regardless of whether things went smoothly at the beginning, the three teams had more or less encountered spirit beasts during the process of picking the fruits. As a result, they had lost some of the fruits.
Even so, the total number of fruits harvested from the three orchards was still very shocking. Moreover, the harvest rate had indeed reached more than 85%.
There were 4,690 Vermilion Fruits, 1,535 Spiritual Peaches, and 548 Blood Crystal Grapes. These fruits, together with medicinal stones and herbs, could be used to refine Fruit Pills suitable for each stage of a cultivator. There were more than 5,000 pills!
It was true that one trip to the Shu Ruins could bring back a few years' worth of cultivation resources for a sect! If a sect was not strong enough, there would not be many members. Naturally, the things they brought back would be less.
This time, the Emei Family occupied the orchards of the Situ Family and the Qingcheng Sect. They had also cleaned up the spirit beasts in the orchards and harvested the fruits perfectly. Their harvest was indeed very shocking!
The decline of the Emei Family was directly related to the harvest in the Shu Ruins. Without so many cultivation resources, the development of the sect would be slow and there would be fewer experts! As a result, the other sects had been suppressing the Emei Family year after year, which made it difficult for the Emei Family to make a comeback.
Not to mention that Gu Zheng had repaired the Emei Pagoda, the current harvest of the fruits and Spiritual Pills was enough to allow the Emei Family to expand and develop in a planned way for many years to come! In the next ten years, Gu Zheng believed that the comprehensive strength of the disciples of the Emei Family would definitely increase by several times!
Looking at the big pile of harvest, Gu An and the others experienced the initial ecstasy and after calming down, they sighed with emotion.
A soldier can bear a lot, but a general can bear a lot!
Without Gu Zheng, even if the four people of the Emei Family entered the Shu Ruins, what could they do? Four people with the same cultivation level as Gu An and the others could not even clean up an orchard! The four people from the Purple Cloud Palace could also clean up an orchard. However, without the other two orchards, their harvest could only be regarded as acceptable. It could not be compared to the full harvest of the Emei Family.
After putting most of the fruits into the Untainted Space, Gu Zheng and the others began to package the fruits that they had to take out on "face" to keep them fresh.
A special kind of paper was used to keep the fruits fresh. This paper contained the medicinal liquid of a special herb. Its freshness effect was much better than that of a plastic wrap. All the sects used the same method to bring out the fruits from the Shu Ruins.
After packaging the fruits and keeping them fresh, Gu Zheng rested for a while. Then, he led Gu An and the others to the mining area.
The main ores produced in the mining area were all kinds of medicinal stones. Like the storage of herbs, the medicinal stones of the Emei Family were also very abundant.
Since they could not clean up the orchards, the Emei Family focused on finding herbs.
After the orchards ran out of fruits, the main forces of the other sects almost all went to the depths of the Shu Ruins for an adventure in order to obtain a better harvest.
Since the Emei Family only had one quota for the Shu Ruins, they did not dare to do anything risky. They could only stay in the mining area in the periphery and collect as many medicinal stones as possible.
Medicinal stones and herbs were necessary to refine the Strange Fruit Pill and the Boundary Pill. Perhaps it was the will of the heavens that the Emei Family's reserves of herbs and medicinal stones for so many years seemed to be waiting for Gu Zheng to make a big harvest this time.
Gu Zheng did not plan to stay in the mining area for long. He just wanted to go there to take a look and arrange for Gu An and the others to stay there.
The periphery of the Shu Ruins was no longer attractive to Gu Zheng. After arranging for Gu An and the others to stay in the mining area, he would set off for the depths of the Shu Ruins.
