Chapter 170 Perfume Island and Peach Blossom Island



Perfume Island has many springs of various sizes, from which spring water of various fragrances gushes forth.

These springs have different aromas and a slightly sweet taste, but they all contain a very rich spiritual energy.

The highest-grade spring, when consumed regularly, produces a fragrant aroma that can give one a natural body scent.

Besides its various fragrant springs, Fragrant Island is home to only a few gourmet creatures, none of which pose any danger.

But the most dangerous thing to watch out for on this island is the occasional wisp of perfume mist.

Perfume mist has a strong anesthetic effect, and people can easily faint if they are exposed to it for a long time.

At first, no one knew what to do and they went to the island without taking any precautions. Wang Mingcheng also didn't explain what to be careful about when going to the island. That's how they all walked into the perfume mist.

The perfume mist is no different from regular mist, except that it has a sweet and fragrant scent.

But the island was filled with fragrance, and at first no one paid much attention to it.

Only Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze sensed something was wrong. They scanned the area with their divine senses and found something, but before they could react, everyone collapsed.

A moment later, not only Yunze, but even Lin Qianqian fainted.

Fortunately, Yunze was there; otherwise, everyone might have fainted and fallen into the spring and drowned.

However, this perfume mist is very troublesome as it spills easily upon contact.

Later, Chu Zhou collected some fragrant mist and, after studying it, discovered that there were many tiny, transparent flying insects in the mist, invisible to the naked eye and less than 0.5 millimeters in size.

No wonder when I scanned it with my divine sense, I only felt something was wrong, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was.

After consulting the Qionglin Bible, I learned that this insect is called a perfume bug.

Perfume beetles like to hide in perfume mist and inhale the moisture. While inhaling, they also release a gas that has a strong hallucinogenic and anesthetic effect.

After examining it, Yunze said that this fragrant mist was very effective against cultivators; anyone below the Nascent Soul stage would collapse upon exposure.

No wonder even Lin Qianqian was accidentally infected, while only Yun Ze was unharmed.

I really don't know how the Alliance explored this island and acquired its rights.

It was only much later that I learned that Perfume Island was designated as a high-end gourmet island, not because of the perfumes in its various perfume springs, the highest level of which was only level 60.

The reason was actually the perfume insect that lived in the perfume mist, which was actually a Qionglin creature with a level of 92.

The results of the scan at the mall's cash register showed that it cannot be eaten directly, but if it is used with Xiangquan water and drunken peach wine, the resulting wine is said to be able to knock out even the most powerful immortals.

Lin Qianqian stared at the name "Drunken Peach" in a daze.

That thing sounds familiar.

Oh, it's an island she traded for. The original owner of that island mentioned that she would see it soon.

Her little hands were itching to move, and some idea began to sprout in her mind.

Chu Zhou was also very excited. He made a set of tools and caught a lot of perfume bugs to take back with him.

Chu Zhou stared at the bottles containing the perfume insects in his hand with shining eyes.

Lin Qianqian had a bad feeling. She felt that this thing absolutely could not be left in his hands, at least not now.

These invisible insects would definitely not be used to brew wine in Chuzhou's hands; they might just be used to create some kind of deadly weapon.

Her instincts kicked in, and she quickly stepped forward, extending her hand to Chu Zhou.

"What?" Chu Zhou asked knowingly.

"Wasn't my action obvious enough? Hand over the bottle containing the perfume bugs, and I'll keep it safe."

Lin Qianqian had no intention of letting him get away with it.

"Why should I entrust this to you for safekeeping? I'm a researcher; I'm the professional in how to safeguard materials."

Chuzhou fought hard to protect his legitimate rights.

"Hehe! I'm the mall owner, I'm the boss, and you're my employee. The mall contract stipulates that you have to listen to me."

“That won’t do. Even though you’re the boss, you still…”

Before Chu Zhou could finish speaking, Lin Qianqian's patience ran out.

With a snap of her fingers, she cast a spell to freeze Chu Zhou in place.

Lin Qianqian walked over and took the bottle from his hand.

Looking at his reflective lenses, I felt a chill, but I still took all the bottles, though I added a comment at the right moment.

"After bringing these perfume insects back to Earth, I will hand over everything except the ones needed for brewing. If you want to study them, you should apply through the proper channels."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers again, and Chuzhou was able to move.

He pushed up his glasses, said nothing, and turned to fiddle with the insect-catching tools.

Lin Qianqian raised her hand and grabbed the set of tools, which immediately appeared in her hand and was then stored in her spatial storage.

Chu Zhou looked at his empty hands, puffed out his cheeks slightly, and he was unhappy!

Lin Qianqian didn't care about him; she was actually quite unhappy!

Chu Zhou is a very reliable person most of the time, but sometimes he acts like a child and will cause trouble when you relax.

During the confrontation between Lin Qianqian and Chu Zhou, everyone else remained uninvolved, simply watching from the sidelines.

Occasionally, such unexpected events can add a spice to life.

However, let's find something for Chu Zhou first. "Make a few sets of protective gear that can completely prevent perfume bugs. Although Yunze and I can also put up a barrier for you, it's still necessary to have multiple layers of protection."

This time, Chu Zhou didn't object and obediently went to modify the protective suits and gas masks.

After everyone put them on, they were finally able to walk freely on the island.

The group worked together and filled many barrels with perfume to take back.

Of course, Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze were not wearing protective gear; they used their spiritual power to create an isolation barrier around themselves.

Lin Qianqian even used her magic to carve out several pools in her own space, paved the bottom of the pools with jade slabs, and secretly filled several pools with fragrant spring water when no one was paying attention.

As for whether the system will deduct some of these spring waters, who cares!

Sailing clockwise, after drifting at sea for several hours and then flying in the air for an hour, we arrived at the second sea area.

The second sea area has several intermediate islands and two primary islands. The produce is average, but the quality is not bad.

However, Lin Qianqian's main focus was exploring Peach Blossom Island, which she had traded from Lu Nanzhe.

Peach Blossom Island is a very unique fruit island, mainly producing peaches of various colors, flavors, and varieties.

The 70-level super-sized watermelon peaches are all bigger than a washbasin.

The stinky tofu peach, grade 51, should appeal to those who love stinky tofu.

The 62-grade glutinous rice peach has a texture similar to slightly sweet rice, and it's perfectly fine to eat it as a staple food.

There's also the peculiar level 85 Drunken Peach...

They tried the Drunken Peach. Apart from Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze, the other five employees shared a peach and all of them got drunk.

More importantly, they had only learned half a day earlier that this Drunken Peach, combined with the Fragrant Spring and Fragrant Insects, could brew a wine that could knock out even the gods.

That's a good idea. She's already planned it out. As soon as she returns to Blue Star, she'll brew wine, and the wine will be called "Immortal's Intoxication."

Of course, the most precious thing on this island is the level 93 Watery Purple Jade Peach, which is as smooth and lustrous as if it were carved from purple jade.

Because this Watery Purple Jade Peach is over grade 90, no one except Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze can eat it.

Lin Qianqian reluctantly ate half of it, while Yunze ate the other half without complaint.

There were only seven or eight purple jade peach trees in total. Lin Qianqian kept two and dug up the rest.

Other varieties of peach trees were basically dug up in half.

They not only dug up peach trees, but also dug up a lot of soil.

After they finished digging, the entire island was left with patches of baldness on the east and west sides.

What was once a paradise of birdsong and fragrant flowers has been utterly ruined.

But Lin Qianqian had no choice; if she could, she would want to move the entire island away.

But I can't move it...
