Medicinal Stones were a special kind of mineral that could be used to refine Strange Fruit Pills and Realm Pills.
Different Shu Mountain branches had different Medicinal Stone mining areas. The higher the ranking, the better the mining line in the mining area, and the more Medicinal Stones it could produce.
Every year when entering the mining area, the first thing to do was to survey the mining area. That was to see if the mining tunnel needed support and eliminate any hidden dangers. After all, every mining area had been used for ten years since it was last used!
If it was the outside world, a mining area that used wood to support the mining tunnel would have become a dangerous mine if no one cared about it for ten years. Not to mention mining, even walking around might cause it to collapse.
However, many of the wood in the Shu Ruins could not be found in the outside world. Their wood was hard and resistant to decay beyond imagination. The traces left by ten years of time and the environment were not particularly serious. Only twenty percent of the wood that needed to be replaced had been lost to time.
If Gu Zheng did not have the Chaos Space, they would have to carry wood into the mining area. It was a rule to replace the broken wood in the mining tunnel. Regardless of whether they were mining in the mining area or not, they had to do it. This was also for the convenience of the younger generation when the Shu Ruins opened next time.
They walked down the slanted mining tunnel for a hundred meters. The air was turbid and humid, and some places even had water seeping through. Occasionally, they could hear the sound of dripping.
There were not many damaged wood in the tunnel. Due to the humid environment, many of the wood had fungi that looked like fungus growing on them. They were both white and yellow in color, but they were all inedible.
The tunnel was very short, and everyone had to lower their heads slightly as they walked.
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak …"
Zhang Tiancheng walked at the front. The lantern in his hand swayed as he walked, and the sound of metal rubbing against each other echoed.
The light from the lantern was white, and it illuminated a large area. The light source did not come from the traditional kerosene, nor did it come from the trendy LEDs. Instead, it came from a type of stone in the mining area called the moonstone.
The world of cultivators was very secretive, and almost no one knew about it. There were many things in their lives that would not easily be leaked to the outside world. For example, this stone that could be used as a light source would definitely be a gem in the outside world. However, in the world of cultivators, such things could be used, but it was strictly forbidden to spread. Otherwise, it would break the rules.
The swaying of the lantern stopped. Zhang Tiancheng pointed at a piece of wood and said, "This one needs to be replaced."
Although the tunnel was low, it was not narrow. Three people could walk side by side without a problem. Gu Zheng came to Zhang Tiancheng's side and took out an 'Iron Oak' from the Primordial Space. Gu Zheng and Liu Ying immediately got busy.
"So annoying. Can't there be fewer of these damn bugs?"
Liu Ying looked at the wormhole in the wood that Gu An had removed with disdain. Twenty percent of the wood that needed to be replaced had been eroded by time, while the remaining eighty percent had been destroyed by insects.
.....
Liu Ying's words caused Gu Zheng to once again hear the word 'bug', and he couldn't help but recall the 'Spirit Peach Bug' that he had used to catch the Earth Spirit Turtle yesterday. Thus, he had the Artifact Spirit investigate it, and the result was that he really discovered some problems.
There wasn't even a single Pit Wood Worm in the entire worm-eaten Pit Wood!
"Sect Master, what did you find?"
Seeing Gu Zheng not say anything and just walk forward with the lantern, Liu Ying asked curiously.
"Follow me. It's hard to say now," Gu Zheng replied without turning his head.
After walking down for a while, the inclined tunnel began to change, and some forks began to appear. This was because they had to go more than a hundred meters underground before they finally reached the medicinal stone ore line. The forks were formed by following the ore line.
Almost all of the forks were dead ends. The ore line they followed had already been mined clean. Gu Zheng followed the map and walked into the tunnel where the ore line still extended. The road gradually widened.
Gu Zheng found a worm-eaten wood. After the Artifact Spirit inspected it, he found that there were still no Wood Insects in the wood. There was not even an insect corpse in the wormhole.
Gu Zheng's brows wrinkled a little. He was listening to the Artifact Spirit's analysis.
After a while, Gu Zheng's brows relaxed, and his expression became a little excited.
"We've found a treasure."
"Sect Master, why do you say that?"
Gu Zheng's sudden words made Gu An and the others very curious.
"Speaking of finding a treasure, let's first talk about this Wood Insect."
"In your opinion, the Wood Pit Worm eats wood, but this is actually wrong. The Wood Pit Worm eats the half-raw ores of the medicinal stones. It just likes to live in the pit wood, and the Wood Pit Worm is the first treasure we have encountered!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused. Liu Ying and the others suddenly opened their eyes wide.
"This Wood Insect is a treasure?"
Liu Ying could not help but ask. After all, before entering the Shu Ruins, Elder Wuchou had specially instructed that the worm-eaten wood in the mining area must be killed, so as to prevent it from harming the mining area. However, Elder Wuchou did not say that the Wood Insect was a treasure! It was not only him. He believed that the elders of the other sects had also told the disciples who entered the mining area.
"The Wood Insect is indeed a treasure, but it needs to be specially processed before it can be used to refine pills. And the 'Purity Pill', which is refined with high-grade medicinal stones as the main ingredients, can be used to purify inner strength! "
"What?"
As soon as Gu Zheng's words came out, Gu An and the others immediately cried out!
The temporary benefit of purifying inner strength was that one's strength would increase. The purer the inner strength, the more destructive it would be. In the long run, if one wanted to become an immortal cultivator, the purification of inner strength was an unavoidable step.
There were very few pills that could help purify inner strength, and the 'Snow Lotus Pill' was one of them. In addition, the inner strength could also be purified with the help of external forces. However, the requirements for using external forces were very high. The person who needed to purify the inner strength of others had to be at the Spirit Severing or Void Returning Realm.
The Grand Elder's * * * met the standard of purifying the inner strength of others. However, using this method to purify the inner strength of others would also cause great harm to oneself. It would take several years to purify the inner strength of others, and Mount Emei could be considered to be in troubled times. Therefore, during this trip to Shu Mountain, Gu Zheng did not ask * * * to purify the inner strength of Elder Wuyou.
The Wood Insect, which was considered useless by others, could be refined into a pill that could purify inner strength with the help of high-grade medicinal stones that the sect did not lack. This news was simply too shocking! After all, judging from Gu Zheng's tone, the rest of the ingredients for the 'Purity Pill' did not seem to be much. It did not seem to be very difficult for him to refine it.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I don't know the pill formula of the 'Purity Pill'. I just heard my master mention it. As for how to refine it, I have to ask him to know."
Gu Zheng mentioned his' master '. As for this' master ', whether Gu An and the others would treat him as * * * was not something that Gu Zheng needed to consider.
As for not knowing the pill formula, Gu Zheng did not lie. The damn weapon spirit did not seem to intend to tell him.
"No wonder the sect master put away the worm-eaten wood before. It turns out that the Wood Insect is such a treasure!"
Liu Ying realized in hindsight, but she did not know that Gu Zheng did not have foresight. He put away the worm-eaten wood at the beginning because he did not want to waste time in the mine.
"Sect master, you just said first, then what is the second?" Zhang Tiancheng asked.
"I noticed that there were no Wood Insects in these two pit logs. They did not migrate, nor did they die naturally. They were eaten!" Gu Zheng said slowly.
"What? They were eaten? "
Zhang Tiancheng and the other two opened their eyes wide at the same time. They had just learned that the Wood Insect was a treasure, and they immediately received the news that they had been eaten. Anger immediately rose in their hearts.
"Sect master, such a big pit log, don't tell me there is not a single Wood Insect in it?" Gu An said unwillingly.
Gu Zheng shook his head. "You can replace the worm-eaten wood and split it open to see."
Gu An and Liu Ying immediately got to work. The worm-eaten wood was quickly split open. In the intricate worm tunnel, there were transparent lines everywhere, as if a slug had crawled in and its secretions had dried. As for the so-called Wood Insect, as Gu Zheng said, there was not a single one.
"This is the saliva trace left behind by the 'long-tongued beast' after eating the Wood Insect."
Gu Zheng explained, but Gu An and the other two's eyes were filled with confusion. They had never heard of the so-called 'long-tongued beast'.
"The long-tongued beast is a mid-level spirit beast. From its appearance, it looks very much like a pangolin. Because it has the rare 'Metal Escape', it can quickly sneak into the mountains, so it is very difficult to catch. The main food of the long-tongued beast is medicinal stones. The Wood Insect is only its snack. As for the treasure I mentioned, apart from the Wood Insect, it is the 'long-tongued beast'. This kind of spirit beast that mainly eats medicinal stones can be said to be a treasure from head to toe. Moreover, judging from the secretions it left behind, this' long-tongued beast 'should still be in our mining area. "
According to the weapon spirit, the meat of the long-tongued beast was generally mid-level. It was an ingredient that Gu Zheng needed.
"Sect master, what are you going to do? Are you going to deal with it the same way you dealt with the Earth Spirit Turtle? "Liu Ying asked.
"The Wood Insect is only the snack of the 'long-tongued beast'. It also has a good spirituality, so it shouldn't be as greedy as the Earth Spirit Turtle. However, although the 'long-tongued beast' is covered in scales, its defensive power is far inferior to that of the Earth Spirit Turtle! As long as we can meet it, as long as it runs a little slower, the Proud Wind Bamboo Arrow should be able to deal with it! "
Although Gu Zheng looked confident, he was actually quite helpless in his heart.
Gu Zheng had learned four of the Five Elements Immortal Arts: the Art of Fire Manipulation, the Art of Water Manipulation, the Art of Wood Manipulation, and the Art of Earth Manipulation. Among the five immortal arts, only the Art of Fire Manipulation had been strengthened by the Fire Element Pill. With the help of the fire source, the power of the Art of Fire Manipulation was barely passable.
If Gu Zheng's Art of Earth Manipulation had been strengthened by the Earth Element Pill, then it would be much easier for him to get the shell of the Earth Spirit Turtle!
By the same logic, if Gu Zheng had the Art of Gold Manipulation, and it had been strengthened by the Gold Element Pill, then he would be much more confident in hunting the long-tongued beast that he had never seen before.
"Sect Leader, since the Wood Insect is a treasure, why don't we split up and go to the mining area of the Qingcheng Sect and Situ's family?" Liu Ying suggested.
"Yes, that's what I was thinking. Liu Ying and Zhang Tiancheng, you two go to the mining area of the Qingcheng Sect and Situ's family respectively and see if you can find any Wood Insect. After you're done there, come here to meet Gu An, and then stay here to collect medicinal stones! When I come back from the depths of the Shu Ruins, I'll come here to find you. "
After the trip to the mining area, Gu Zheng wanted to go to the depths of the Shu Ruins alone. He had already told Liu Ying and the others before, so they were not surprised when he mentioned it again. After all, the depths of the Shu Ruins were very dangerous, so it was better for Gu Zheng to go alone.
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
Liu Ying and Zhang Tiancheng saluted Gu Zheng and left. Gu Zheng, on the other hand, continued to walk along the tunnel with Gu An.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Gu Zheng and the others finally arrived at the bottom of the tunnel.
Along the way, Gu Zheng found two more worm-eaten pit logs, but there were no Wood Insects in them. However, judging from the saliva left behind by the long-tongued beast, it was closer to the time when it was looking for food.
On the rock layer at the bottom of the tunnel, there was a belt of sparkling crystals, like the Milky Way in the sky. Those sparkling crystals were medicinal stones of various grades.
The medicinal stones were very strange, and there was a faint fragrance when one smelled them deeply. They could not be mined with brute force, and could only be mined with inner strength, so the mining speed was not fast.
"You can mine the medicinal stones here, but pay attention to your safety!"
Gu Zheng patted Gu An's shoulder, and his words were all in his eyes.
"Sect Master, don't worry. I hope you can have a great harvest in the depths of the Shu Ruins."
Gu An scratched his head and added, "It should be said that there will be a great harvest in this mining area!"
"Haha … Thank you for your auspicious words!"
Gu Zheng laughed heartily and began his solo journey in the Shu Ruins.
Gu Zheng wanted to try to find the long-tongued beast in the mining area. Regardless of whether he could find it or not, as long as he went through all the tunnels that he had not passed, Gu Zheng would leave his own mining area.
What Gu Zheng wanted to do next was to go to the mining areas of the Spirit Sword Sect and the Purple Cloud Palace to see if he could pick up some leftovers. Since the Wood Insect was a treasure, even if he did not get the pill formula to refine it, Gu Zheng wanted to get some first.
The mining area was very large, and there were many forks in it. Fortunately, Gu Zheng ran all the way, so it would not take him much time to see it all.
However, Gu Zheng was hopeful about finding the long-tongued beast, but it was not to a special extent. After all, the long-tongued beast was an earth-type spirit beast, and its whereabouts could only be described as "appearing and disappearing unpredictably". Perhaps there was no sign of it in the forks that he had just checked, but there was a possibility that it would emerge from the ground as soon as he turned around!
With that thought in mind, Gu Zheng subconsciously turned around to take a look. What he saw caused his eyes to widen.
As expected, he did not see the long-tongued beast suddenly appear behind him. However, Gu Zheng did see a very vague thing flash by at the place where his eyesight was at its limit!
Gu Zheng's eyesight was very good, but the mine was too dark. Even if there was a lantern to illuminate it, it might not be comparable to the outside world.
Gu Zheng was not sure if the blurred thing that flashed by was a person or a human-shaped spirit beast. But no matter what it was, Gu Zheng had to go and see. He could not leave this potentially dangerous existence alone in the mining area where Gu An was alone.
Because of the environment, it took Gu Zheng a very short time to reach the place where his eyesight was at its limit before.
This was a fork in the mine, and there were a total of six forks. Gu Zheng was not sure which tunnel the blurry thing he saw just now had entered.
However, it was not that there was no trace of it. Gu Zheng smelled a faint scent of blood in the air.
"The smell of human blood!"
Gu Zheng sniffed the smell of blood in the air and immediately came to a conclusion.
"The injured person can't be Gu An, and such a person actually entered the Emei mine. Who is he?"
Gu An took out Tang Mo and carefully walked toward a fork in the road.
"In the fork nine meters ahead, there's a high-grade spirit beast, the 'Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey'."
The forks in the mine were like a spider's web. Gu Zheng had not gone far when the Artifact Spirit's voice sounded in his mind.
"Why is it a spirit beast? And it's a 'Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey' that lives in the forest? Could it be the blurry thing I saw just now? Is the smell of human blood coming from its mouth? "
While he was puzzled, Gu Zheng also arrived at the fork where the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey was.
"Whoosh …"
A huge rock flew out from the fork in the road and smashed straight at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng dodged, and the huge rock landed on the ground with a loud noise. However, the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey in the fork did not plan to let it go. Rocks of different sizes were like a meteor shower, continuously smashing at Gu Zheng from the fork.
"Evil creature!"
Gu Zheng sneered. While he was slashing with Tang Mo, he also advanced toward the fork in the road.
It had to be said that the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey was very powerful. The meteor shower of rocks, coupled with its powerful destructive power, would be very difficult for an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of the fifth level to not be injured by the flying rocks, let alone advance into the fork.
However, Gu Zheng was different. He was an immortal cultivator who was equivalent to a cultivator in the early stage of the fifth level. Whether it was his actual strength or the exquisiteness of the Ethereal Body Illusion Technique, he was able to remain calm when facing the flying rocks.
"Squeak squeak …"
Seeing that Gu Zheng was approaching, the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey gave up on the flying rocks and directly pounced at Gu Zheng.
Although it was called a monkey, the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey actually looked like an ape. It was taller than Gu Zheng by a head and looked very sturdy. When it pounced at Gu Zheng, it clenched its fist tightly, looking like it wanted to smash Gu Zheng to death with one punch.
With the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey's strength, if this punch hit Gu Zheng, he would definitely die. However, how could Gu Zheng let it do as it wished?
"You're courting death!"
Gu Zheng shouted. When he used the Ethereal Body Illusion Technique to dodge the punch, he immediately used the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique. Tang Mo carried an indestructible aura and slashed at the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey's neck.
"Squeak …"
The Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey screamed. It was surprised that Gu Zheng was able to dodge its fist. Facing Gu Zheng's slash, it did not dare to forcefully attack and immediately jumped back to dodge.
Gu Zheng seemed to know the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey's dodging route. The Tang Mo that was originally swinging out changed his move midway. When he stopped moving forward, the Tang Mo had already pierced into the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey's chest.
The Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey was originally jumping backwards, so Gu Zheng's slash did not penetrate too deeply. However, Gu Zheng, who immediately changed his move, released his inner strength and slashed at the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey.
The Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey's speed of jumping backwards was fast, but the speed of the inner strength that flew out was not slow either. When the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey stopped, the inner strength had already struck its abdomen.
Blood immediately gushed out. The Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey wanted to pounce at Gu Zheng again. Suddenly, a very ethereal female voice came from the darkness far away.
"Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey, come back!"
"Squeak squeak …"
Absolutely unwilling, the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey waved its fist at Gu Zheng. This time, it ran into the darkness behind it.
Gu Zheng did not chase after it. He only followed it. He could already tell who the woman in the darkness was from her voice.
There were a total of four people from the Purple Cloud Palace entering the Shu Ruins this time. Three of them were the Ling Sisters. Gu Zheng did not know the name of the last one, but he had heard her voice before.
Gu Zheng understood that the Ling Sisters' cultivation was not bad. However, they were not the leaders of the Purple Cloud Palace's trip to the Shu Ruins. The real leader was this person whose name he did not know yet. This kind of person who was usually hidden tightly by the sect and only showed up at crucial times was usually very capable.
Not to mention other things, just having the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey was already a very impressive thing.
The Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey was huge. It was not a small treasure-hunting mole that could be put into a bag and brought into the Shu Ruins. This could only mean that the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey was tamed by this woman after entering the Shu Ruins. Today was only the fourth day of the opening of the Shu Ruins. To be able to tame an adult Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey in just four days, her talent in beast taming was really shocking!
In fact, the beast taming technique was not exclusive to the Purple Cloud Palace. It was a secret technique that Shu Mountain originally had. Just like how Luo Xiao could control the Five-Colored Feather Sparrow through her voice, this was also in the category of beast taming. However, when the Purple Cloud Palace was separated from Shushan, it took away this secret technique. As for the ancestors of the other branches, because they did not cultivate this secret technique, the descendants of the later generations naturally did not know it.
Chu Xiaochen's slightly loose purple clothes could not hide her petite and exquisite figure. With her left arm injured, Chu Xiaochen stared at the approaching Gu Zheng.
Chu Xiaochen knew a little about Gu Zheng from her fellow sect members.
Chu Xiaochen was an elder-level existence in the Purple Cloud Palace. She had a cold personality and was weak in the ways of the world.
Her attitude towards Gu Zheng was different from Elder Dawn Wind and the others' attitude towards Gu Zheng. Chu Xiaochen disdained and loathed him! There was no other reason other than that Gu Zheng had been in the limelight during this Ranking Ceremony. However, his quota to enter the Shu Ruins was the same as the Purple Cloud Palace's.
"What's your name? Why are you in the Emei Sect's mining area? "
Gu Zheng did not know what Chu Xiaochen was thinking. However, from her eyes and what had just happened, Gu Zheng knew that this woman was not a kind person.
"Chu Xiaochen. I naturally have something to do in the Emei Sect's mining area. Don't worry, I won't take a single Medicinal Stone from you! Stay here for a while and I'll give you a reward. "
Chu Xiaochen's voice was ethereal and cold. She casually threw three high-grade Spirit Pills to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng did not catch them and let them fall to the ground.
Originally, Gu Zheng had asked patiently for the sake of Elder Dawn Wind and the three sisters. However, when he saw that there were only three high-grade Spirit Pills, the anger in his heart suddenly rose.
"What do you mean?" Gu Zheng's face darkened.
"Nothing. Didn't you give Ling Xue and the others three Spirit Pills as a meeting gift? If you think it's too little, I can give you three more. Six high-grade Spirit Pills in exchange for staying in the Emei Sect's mining area for a while. This reward is not low, right? "
Chu Xiaochen took out three more Spirit Pills and threw them at Gu Zheng. Not only did he not catch them, but he also sneered.
After laughing enough, Gu Zheng pointed at the direction of the cave entrance and said word by word, "Take back your Spirit Pills.
"Put away your elixir and leave Emei's mine right now! Immediately! Immediately!"
Chu Xiaochen was stunned. It seemed that she did not expect Gu Zheng to have such an intense reaction. Her eyes widened and she only spoke after a while.
"Who are you shouting at?"
Chu Xiaochen was also angry. No matter what, she was still an elder of the Purple Cloud Palace.
"Are you going to leave or not?"
Gu Zheng did not want to talk nonsense with someone like Chu Xiaochen. His cold eyes were already filled with killing intent.
"You …"
Chu Xiaochen originally wanted to attack. Since they could not agree, then the stronger one would have the final say. However, when she saw the killing intent in Gu Zheng's eyes, she did not say anything and regained her rationality.
If it was an ordinary person, even if it was a cultivator at the late stage of the fifth layer, Chu Xiaochen would not be afraid. No matter what, she was at the late stage of the fifth layer. Although she was injured, it was not a big problem. In addition, she had a spirit beast at the middle stage of the fifth layer as a helper. Such a combination of strength was not weak.
Unfortunately, the killing intent in Gu Zheng's eyes was too cold. Chu Xiaochen could even see some contempt and decisiveness in them. That feeling was as if if she really attacked Gu Zheng, she might not even know how she died. Moreover, once she attacked, there would be no turning back.
No one had ever given Chu Xiaochen such a strange feeling. Combined with Gu Zheng's incredible abilities and the way he dealt with the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey, Chu Xiaochen felt that it was better to compromise. There was no need to create a dangerous situation over such a small matter.
"Alright, I was wrong just now. Don't be angry. Let's talk things out."
Chu Xiaochen was not good at the ways of the world, but it did not mean that she was not afraid of death. When people were in danger of death, it was not strange for them to make unreasonable decisions.
This time, it was Gu Zheng's turn to be slightly stunned. He did not expect that the seemingly arrogant and reckless Chu Xiaochen would apologize immediately in such a dangerous situation.
"Talk things out? Fine, give me two explanations first. "
"First, why did you come to the Emei Mining Area?"
"Second, we are both from Mount Shu. It's fine that you came to the Emei Mining Area, but why did you let the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey ambush me? Did you want to kill me, or did you want to test me? "
Gu Zheng did not want to fight if he could. A large part of the reason was, of course, because of the friendship of the other people from the Purple Cloud Palace.
As for the motive of the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey, no matter what Chu Xiaochen's original intention was, since she had already apologized, she would definitely say that she was testing him. Gu Zheng knew that she would say that, but he still asked. It was not to give her a way out, but to bring up this topic and ask for benefits.
"I came to the Emei Mining Area because I was following a spirit beast. I let the Tiger-Toothed Spirit Monkey ambush you because I wanted to see how strong you are. "Chu Xiaochen said.
"See how strong I am? Do you think I will believe you? In a battle, life and death are only in an instant. If I was killed by your spirit beast, wouldn't I die in vain? I don't care so much. Just for this matter, I want compensation! "
Gu Zheng stared at Qiu Xiaochen's eyes. Qiu Xiaochen frowned. "What compensation do you want? What do you want me to add to the six high level spirit pills on the ground? "
"Don't talk to me about the ground!"
Gu Zheng's eyes turned cold again. "Give me three spirit pills, no more and no less. You must know what happened in the Bluestone Wasteland last night. I need good ingredients. Take out the good ingredients you have and let me see what I need. I will pick some myself!"
Asking for benefits, Gu Zheng was actually forcing Qiu Xiaochen to do it! If she was obedient, then everything would be fine. But if her appeasement was only a façade, then perhaps Gu Zheng would have to consider whether or not to keep her here to prevent future trouble.
"I don't have any good ingredients. They are all with Ling Xue and the others!"
Chu Xiaochen shook her head. What he said sounded like the truth.
"If you want to negotiate, you have to be honest first. I don't like to lie, and I don't like to be lied to! If something similar happens again, then let's fight. But I have to remind you that my fighting skills are for killing. It is not suitable for sparring. "
Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed into slits, and the killing intent that had disappeared resurfaced once again. Indeed, his current ability could be said to be an ability to kill. No matter if it was the Primeval Space, Tang Mo's miraculous Divine Ability, or the two Immortal Artifacts he'd just obtained, all of them couldn't be casually seen by others. If someone saw them, then that person had to die!
Chu Xiaochen's eyes widened. The killing intent that appeared in Gu Zheng's eyes once again made her rejoice at her apology.
"Regarding your 'Meteor Immortal Steps', I've always thought that it was fake, but now it seems that it should be real."
Chu Xiaochen smiled bitterly, and the words she said made Gu Zheng laugh in his heart.
Gu Zheng understood that at the Ranking Gathering that day, regardless of whether the story he made up was credible or not, regardless of what the results of the inspection given by the Shu Mountain Sect Leader and the referee elder were, there were still many people who did not believe in the matter of the 'Meteor Immortal Steps'. However, Gu Zheng did not expect that the 'Meteor Immortal Steps' would become Chu Xiaochen's greatest fear at this time.
"I'm very curious. How do you know that I lied to you? How are you so sure that I have good ingredients here?" Chu Xiaochen asked back.
"You are the leader of the Purple Cloud Palace's trip to the Shu Ruins this time. It's not strange that you have good things with you. Besides, you have a treasure-hunting mole hiding in your bag. If you say that you don't have good ingredients, do you think I will believe you? "
"You, how do you know that I have a treasure-hunting mole in my bag?"
Chu Xiaochen almost bit her tongue. She lowered her head and looked at the bag beside her. She did not see any gaps in it! Moreover, from the time it met Gu Zheng until now, the treasure-hunting mole had been very obedient and had not even made a sound.
"I guessed."
Gu Zheng lied. In fact, it was the Weapon Spirit who had detected it.
"Alright, you win. I can give you some good ingredients, but let's make something clear first. I need to stay in your mining area to catch the spirit beast I'm tracking, "Chu Xiaochen said after thinking for a while.
