Lu Xianyun's hand must have been frostbitten. They didn't have any medicine to treat frostbite, and if she didn't use her spiritual energy to improve circulation quickly, her hand would probably be useless.
"Why are you so aggressive?" Lu Muyun glared at Lu Xianyun, angrily saying, "You dare to put your hand in before you're even sure there's no danger!"
This time, Lu Xianyun humbly accepted his brother's criticism, lowered his head and dared not speak.
"Brother, there's nothing good here!" Lu Xianyun quickly changed the subject.
"It should get colder the further upstream you go. Even if there is something there, it should be upstream, maybe even at the source."
"Then let's go quickly, my hand is fine. Don't be a step too late, or the good things will be taken away by others!" Lu Xianyun quickly pulled his hand back, pulled Lu Muyun up and strode forward.
At this moment, a few people were standing on a cliff a few dozen miles away. Judging from their looks, they were either looking for something or someone.
The leader said impatiently, "Why haven't Gao Lin and his men come over yet? What are they wasting time on? They didn't even respond to the communication talisman!"
"If the hook snake wasn't so difficult to deal with, there's no need to wait for them! We can just go in directly!" Another person spoke.
Another person followed up and said, "Why don't I go look for it?"
"Looking? The Yunwu Mountains are so vast, where are you going to look?" After a pause, the leader continued, "Forget it, leave one person here to guard, and the rest of you can all disperse and search!"
So this group of people left one person to continue guarding the cliff, and the rest of them left to look for people.
The person who stayed behind was also looking around, as if a little bored. Just then his communication symbol rang, and he quickly answered it.
"Junior Sister! We're at Hanshuijian! We haven't even entered yet! Yes, not everyone is here yet, they've gone out to look for someone. Did you miss me? Hehe..."
Lu Xianyun and Lu Muyun walked upstream along the river and saw the mountain stream ahead.
On both sides were towering cliffs, not quite vertical. As one advanced further, the cliffs sloped and converged toward the center, eventually forming a cave.
The two of them came to the foot of the cliff and looked up. It really felt like a crack in the sky. If someone was lying in ambush above and threw a rock or something, the people below would be in real trouble.
"Sister, look ahead!" Lu Muyun suddenly exclaimed, her voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Lu Xianyun looked in the direction of his finger and saw that both sides of the river bank in front of him and the bottom of the mountain wall were covered with emerald green fruits!
The fruit was small, about the size of a grape, each supported by two leaves. It was emerald green and translucent, as if it were not real fruit but carved from the finest jade.
"It's the Biling Fruit!" Lu Muyun shouted.
Lu Xianyun immediately retrieved memories of the Biling Fruit.
This is a water-attributed spiritual fruit, and it's considered a relatively rare spiritual medicine. It's an antidote for those suffering from fire poisoning. It can be eaten directly, but if refined into a pill, the effect will be even better.
However, if you are not suffering from fire poisoning, it is best not to eat it, otherwise you will feel cold all over. In severe cases, it may even cause your meridians to solidify and your spiritual power to sluggishly flow.
Of course, if the level is high, this rule does not apply, then eating this is no different from eating a fruit that cools down and relieves summer heat.
Although this Biling Fruit wasn't the highest-grade water-attributed elixir, it wasn't an ordinary item either. Normally, it was rare to see just one, but here there was such a large patch!
Anyone who sees this look of being ready to be picked will go crazy!
The two of them rushed over quickly.
Just as I pulled one out, a voice suddenly came from above my head:
"stop!"
The brother and sister were stunned, paused what they were doing, and looked up.
Several people appeared under the thin sliver of sky.
The men were looking at the two of them angrily and continued to shout at them, "This is our stuff!"
Lu Xianyun sighed deeply in his heart again.
Here it comes again.
Well, she has to get used to this kind of thing in the world of cultivation!
Lu Muyun, who had just achieved a breakthrough, was fearless. He glared at these people and said, "These Biling Fruits are naturally grown. You didn't plant them. How can you say they are yours? They are originally ownerless, so of course it's first come, first served!"
While Lu Muyun was speaking, Lu Xianyun had already quietly put the Biling Fruit in his hand into the system space.
Fortunately, the roots of this thing were not deep, and she dug it out in one go. Otherwise, with these people coming so quickly, it would definitely be too late!
After hearing what Lu Muyun said, those people were naturally furious and quickly continued, "We have been here for a long time! We have been waiting here for these Biling fruits to mature for a month!"
"Oh! Is that so?" Lu Muyun sneered disdainfully, "I didn't see you when I came here! Everyone would say that. I even said I came here two months ago!"
Although Lu Muyun is small in stature, he is very imposing.
Lu Muyun's words hit the other party's sore spot.
One of them glared at the other fiercely and said in a low voice, "I told you to stay here and guard. Look what you've done!"
In fact, there is no point in lowering the voice. Everyone present is a monk, and their ears are countless times more sensitive than those of ordinary people.
The person being scolded shrank his head, "That... that wasn't Junior Sister's message, I..."
He never expected that no one came here, but when the others went to find their companions and he was communicating with his junior sister, someone came.
His negligence almost led to someone picking the Biling Fruit that they had been waiting for to mature for a month in advance.
"Sister, ignore them, let's continue picking!" Lu Muyun said to Lu Xianyun.
"Or, let's go!" Lu Xianyun pulled Lu Muyun's sleeve.
"Sister, you're a coward again!" Lu Muyun said with a look of disappointment.
"Just listen to me, there's no need for us to fight them."
Lu Xianyun couldn't say that they already had endless amounts of Biling Fruit to eat, so there was no point in fighting with them for it.
Even though his younger brother thinks that cultivators have to fight against heaven and people, for Lu Xianyun, it is better to be cautious and develop slowly!
At this time, those people had jumped down from the cliff and stood in front of the brother and sister.
"We don't want to fight with you here and damage the Biling Fruit, so you'd better leave on your own and don't force us to take action." said the leader of the other side.
Lu Xianyun felt something was wrong.
Although they tried their best to hide it, Lu Xianyun could always feel that they seemed nervous, as if they were worried not only about the damage of the Biling Fruit here, but also about some other factors.
