"Let me tell you, over the past few years, I've traveled with the Han Hai Chamber of Commerce from the Demon-Controlling Pass to the Northern Wilderness, and then to the Southern Region. I've gained a lot of knowledge and experience..."
Ye Feng looked at Ajiu with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help feeling a little envious.
"In the Northern Wilderness, level one radiant stones and refined iron can be found directly on the ground; there's no need to search for them at all."
"Also, outside the Demon-Controlling Pass, there are tons of spiritual herbs. Guess what I found when I came out of seclusion last time... a whole patch of snow plums and first-grade raspberries! I just grabbed handfuls and handfuls and kept stuffing them into my mouth. The taste was absolutely amazing!"
Unfortunately, I was chased by monsters later, and I didn't have time to collect more.
As he spoke, Lu Jiu took out a handful of dried raspberries from his storage belt.
Ye Feng tasted two; they were sweet and sour, quite delicious. More importantly, these snow plums had detoxifying and hemostatic effects, and each one was worth about thirty spirit stones.
"Let me tell you, no matter what kind of spiritual fruit it is, it tastes best when you pick it and eat it directly. Even if you store it in the best jade box later, the taste will still be different."
Ye Feng obtained most of the local low-grade spiritual fruits from True Person Black Crow; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he ate them until he was tired of them.
But as he ate the dried plums and listened to Lu Jiu's story, he couldn't help but drool.
"Brother Jiu, I really envy you!"
Ye Feng sighed sincerely, realizing that he had been so focused on alchemy that his trading points and cultivation had all come easily, and he had truly missed out on a wonderful period of his life.
Like Lu Jiu, even after eating something for so long, he still can't forget it.
For Ye Feng, the only memories he had of the spearfish were probably those of the original owner, plus the first meal he had with Shen Lang.
Even the second-grade spiritual fruits served in the rooms on the third floor of Baoshan couldn't taste like what he described...
"That's easy! Let's go to the secret realm together, and I'll treat you to some freshly picked seafood!"
Hearing Lu Jiu's words, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Lu Jiu and the other two were all in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Now, the secret realm is not only filled with righteous sects. What if they encounter demonic cultivators?
He immediately voiced his concerns.
"Who's guarding the gate now? It's the Hunyuan Sect, the upper sect of our Qingyun Sect. How could they not take care of us subordinates? Don't worry, as long as we don't compete with those upper sects, there won't be any problems. The three of us have already gone twice."
You wouldn't believe it, but look at this!
As Lu Jiu spoke, he took out two sections of spirit sprouts.
"Let me tell you, even if this Green Spirit Sprout is broken, it's worth three to five thousand spirit stones, but the cultivators of the upper sects wouldn't even bother to look at it."
Then, she vividly recounted the events of the morning to Ye Feng.
"I have to thank this young master, otherwise... it's all fate. Some people are born to be chosen by heaven, while we have to rely on our own efforts..."
It's quite a feeling to hear someone praise you from a different perspective.
Lu Jiu and the other two were filled with envy and admiration, but Ye Feng, as the person involved, felt nothing at all. Instead, he envied them for being so happy to have picked up several thousand spirit stones for free.
After the four finished eating, they went together to prepare to enter the secret realm.
Various foods and talismans were provided, while the fasting pills, detoxifying pills, and healing pills were given to Ye Feng.
Although most of the items in the backpack had been sold, there were still quite a few things left that I could use.
Even magical artifacts and spiritual artifacts, each grade has several pieces.
"A while ago, a Golden Core elder from the sect led a team here, but the secret realm was sealed off at the time, so they went back. It seems they were busy looking for someone."
"The secret realm will probably be open for about three months, by which time I should be heading back to my sect. Sigh, once I get back, I'll become a steward, and I won't have such good opportunities to run around and have fun like this anymore."
Lu Jiu still fondly recalls his experiences venturing out into the world.
This reminded Ye Feng that he was still an inner disciple undergoing training, with only six months to train, unlike Lu Jiu, who had come out to seek Foundation Establishment opportunities and could spend three years outside.
I've been out here for over three months now, and I haven't even looked at the training missions.
However, encountering such an opportunity as a secret realm should make playing for another month or two no problem!
Outside the entrance to the secret realm, rows of magical treasures, resembling palaces, stood on the plain.
There wasn't much of a strict check upon entry; they simply used a magical artifact to take a photo for record-keeping.
But things are different once you come out. You have to open your storage equipment yourself, and you have to leave half of the value of anything inside, as long as it's a spirit herb, regardless of whether you brought it in before.
Led by Lu Jiu, who knew the way well, Ye Feng and his group passed directly through a transparent vortex.
After a moment of disorientation, I found myself in a green mountain forest.
"Be careful, everyone. The teleportation point is random, and there might be danger right next to you!"
Before Lu Jiu could even give a signal, Min Rong and Liu De immediately released their divine senses, sending flying swords swirling around them.
"Huh? Agarwood mushrooms! This is really lucky. We came in and saw such a large patch of spirit mushrooms. They're worth at least two thousand spirit stones. We really got lucky with Junior Brother Ye this time!"
As Lu Jiu spoke, he darted forward.
Ye Feng's divine sense was many times stronger than the three of them. In places they couldn't see, many spiritual materials were revealed under his scanning.
He really didn't care about those few spirit stones.
His main focus was on the medicine garden shrouded in array formations.
———
Dozens of kilometers away from where Ye Feng was, inside an underground palace hidden by an array,
Xiao Xuan dodged the spider silk spitting out by the Jade-Faced Poison Plant, and with a swift horizontal slash from the left, she severed a spider leg.
Just as the Jade-Faced Poison Spider was howling in pain, Xiao Xuan had already flashed to the other side of the spider.
A white light swirled around his fist as it slammed down, instantly smashing the venomous spider's head to pieces. Its body collapsed limply to the ground.
Xiao Xuan wiped the sweat from her forehead, stepped forward, and chopped off the spider's leg.
Previously, they were chased by several members of the Heavenly Demon Sect and luckily stumbled upon the Purple Fate Secret Realm. They had just escaped into this place when they were trapped in this maze.
She had eaten everything in the spatial ring, so she had to search for food all over the maze.
Fortunately, she was inside a maze, which prevented the initial members of the demonic cult from finding her.
News of the secret realm should have spread by now, and the sect should have sent people over.
But now figuring out how to get out is another problem...
