"Master, where are we going?"

Lin Xue lay listlessly on Yu Qing's sword hilt, while Chu Xuan, who had long been kicked off his flying sword by his master, was flying on his own sword to the side!

"Little apprentice, are you bored again?"

Yu Qing was helpless; his little apprentice was too troublesome, and he, a straight man, couldn't handle him!

"Master, why don't we go explore the canyon below? It's far from any human habitation; maybe there are some treasures there?"

Lin Xue flipped over and looked down at the canyon and forest scenery rushing past.

"This place has no famous mountains or great lakes, and I haven't sensed the presence of any powerful ferocious beasts. Even if there are spiritual herbs, there probably won't be many!"

Yu Qing glanced at the canyon forest below, but his interest waned.

For training, it's better to go to a forest of ferocious beasts, where there are countless ferocious beasts, which is extremely beneficial for honing a disciple's cultivation.

Moreover, places with many ferocious beasts indicate abundant spiritual energy, suggesting the presence of spiritual veins within them.

An ordinary canyon forest like this, where only common wild beasts roam, certainly doesn't contain any spiritual veins.

Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, where would any spiritual medicines or treasures exist?

"Master, let's go down and take a look!"

Lin Xue was so tired of riding the flying sword that she felt like throwing up. They had been flying for several days since leaving Dayan City.

Apart from meals, her master didn't stop even when they encountered towns.

She was alright, as she could stay on her master's flying sword, but her senior brother was in a terrible predicament.

Unless you really can't go on anymore, you can rest on your master's flying sword for a while. Otherwise, you have to fly on your own.

"Alright, I'll have your senior brother hunt the first prey for you. Didn't you say you haven't had meat in a long time? This time you can eat your fill!"

Yu Qing couldn't stand his little apprentice's persistent pestering, so in the end, he had to give in.

The group descended from the clouds and entered the canyon forest.

"Senior brother, did you hear that? Master wants you to go hunting for me!"

"I want to eat venison today, the kind that's not too big or too small, the meat is tender!"

When they came down, Lin Xue had already seen many small animals roaming around nearby.

These are all ordinary animals that cannot cultivate, and several deer were running not far from them.

"OK!"

Chu Xuan felt relieved when he heard his junior sister make a request.

If his junior sister hadn't told him, he would have had to consider which prey to hunt.

Now that we have a clear goal, things are much easier.

Chu Xuan was responsible for hunting and roasting the meat, while Yu Qing was in charge of finding a place to rest and watching her two apprentices busy themselves.

Lin Xue stayed by Chu Xuan's side, helping him out.

The spot her master chose was relatively flat, and the grass was soft enough.

Lin Xue felt that having a picnic here was a pleasant thing.

"Master, the meat is almost done roasting! Please keep an eye on the heat for us, don't let this whole roasted deer burn!"

"My senior brother and I are going to pick some wild vegetables nearby, so we can wrap them in venison and eat them together!"

Seeing that the venison was almost cooked, Lin Xue told Yu Qing and led Chu Xuan out of the small patch of grass.

"Senior brother, keep an eye out! Don't miss any wild onions or wild garlic if you come across them!"

Lin Xue couldn't just take out fresh vegetables from her spatial storage for no reason. Even if she had bought them before, after traveling for so many days, the vegetables couldn't possibly be fresh and crisp anymore.

So, under the guise of going out to find wild vegetables, she secretly smuggled some fresh vegetables out of her spatial dimension.

Originally, there were no vegetables left in the space because she had stored away all the grains and vegetables to grow a large number of spiritual herbs.

Later, a batch of medicinal herbs matured, so she replanted various vegetables in this area to supplement her daily vitamin intake.

Potatoes, carrots, lettuce, bok choy, and other leafy greens.

How can store-bought produce compare to the freshness of homegrown produce?

Furthermore, since the spiritual energy in the space became abundant, the growth of the spiritual herbs has become faster and faster.

It seemed that due to the abundance of spiritual energy, her space had also automatically leveled up without her realizing it.

The ratio of plant growth rate inside and outside the space has increased significantly.

"Senior brother, was it in this stream that you just washed the venison?"

Lin Xue squatted by the stream and put the washed vegetables into the basket.

The basket also contained many wild vegetables they had found along the way, which they had also washed and placed inside.

"Yes, the stream is quite clear; it should be the water source for the animals in this area."

"Oh, I think so too! The vegetables have been washed, let's go back, senior brother!"

Lin Xue put the last handful of wild vegetables into the basket, and then planned to carry the basket back with Chu Xuan.

But just as she stood up from the stream, she seemed to vaguely see something shiny at the bottom of the stream.

"Um?"

Lin Xue didn't know what it was.

Judging from the brightness just now, it shouldn't be a reflective object like a seashell or stone.

"What's wrong, junior sister? Why don't you let me bring it up?"

Seeing his junior sister suddenly stop moving, Chu Xuan assumed she didn't want to carry the basket. So he reached out and took the basket from Lin Xue.

"Senior brother, wait a moment, let me wash my hands again!"

Lin Xue's hesitation wasn't because she didn't want to carry the shopping basket, but because although the bright light had only flashed by, it had left her with a lingering desire to investigate further.

She crouched down again and reached into the water to dab around.

As the water rippled, another bright, sparkling light flashed briefly before disappearing just as quickly.

"There's definitely something in this sand and gravel. I refuse to believe I can't find you!"

Unconvinced, Lin Xue carefully dug through the sand and stones, finally discovering that what was glittering was a silver ring.

"Huh? How come it's a ring?"

Lin Xue cleaned the ring and then held it up to her face to examine it closely.

The ring looks simple and unadorned, and doesn't seem like it would reflect sunlight, so it doesn't quite match the bright light from before.

Just when Lin Xue thought the previous flash of light had nothing to do with the ring, it flashed again as she wiggled her finger.

The dazzling light caught the eye of Chu Xuan, who was standing nearby.

"Junior sister, where did you get this ring?"

Chu Xuan had just seen his junior sister digging through the sand and stones at the bottom of the river, but he didn't know what she was doing.

I thought she was a young girl who liked the pretty pebbles at the bottom of the river and wanted to collect a couple.

Who knew we'd find such a silver ring?

"Senior brother, did that ring just flash?"

Lin Xue hesitantly held up the antique ring in front of Chu Xuan.

"I just saw it flash, but why does the surface of this ring look so old?"

Just like many silver ornaments lose their luster over time, this ring is now in that state.
