The two of them were busy joking around by the Qianji Lake, and they were really dedicated. However, after nearly half an hour, they achieved very little.
When Tu Nian once again watched Chu Qiurong fish out many thin and weak medicinal seedlings from the lake, he finally couldn't help but complain: "Where is this place of abundant natural beauty? What is this?"
These dead branches and leaves were not even as good as the ones she had found when she wandered in the lost forest when she left the sect.
Chu Qiurong worked tirelessly, her hands moving non-stop. "At this rate, let alone tonight, even if we gather enough spirit stones to return to the sect, it will be difficult."
Turning over the medicinal seedlings that were not even as tall as the weeds, Tu Nian sighed and looked at the faintly glowing Wuding Pearl in his hand, "Until now, it hasn't even been five points bright."
How should I put it? It feels like when you are playing Gold Miner, you buy the doubling item first, but the map you are given is full of stones and bone fragments. Not only is it a waste of your feelings, but it is also very annoying.
She patted Chu Qiurong's shoulder unwillingly, "Brother, do you think it would be better if we walked to the center of the lake?"
Seeing that there was nothing to dig, Chu Qiurong simply pulled up a blood heart orchid and handed it to Tu Nian to admire. "In Qianji Lake, spiritual power is born from the water. Naturally, the deeper the water, the stronger the spiritual power, and the rarer the spiritual plants that grow there."
"Why don't we give it a try?"
Tu Nian immediately regained his spirits after hearing this. He twisted the wine-red orchid with an eager look on his face. "While there's still some time before they close the sect, I have a few water-repellent talismans given by my senior brother. Let's go in and grab some treasures!"
"You're a bit too bold, aren't you? Have you forgotten the snake demon you encountered last time you went to the Sword Tomb?"
Rubbing her head with a mixture of laughter and tears, Chu Qiurong said earnestly, "There are more than just treasures in Qianji Lake. There are also some monsters. If a fight breaks out and your water-repellent talisman is blown away, won't you suffocate to death in there?"
"hiss……"
Tu Nian was not the kind of person who valued money over his life. Hearing this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly pinched his chin, "That's a problem."
Seeing that she was still able to listen to what others said, Chu Qiurong breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to persuade her to admit defeat, she heard her suddenly say, "Then why don't you go down by yourself, Senior Brother?"
"?"
For a moment, Chu Qiurong thought she had misheard, but the next moment her hand felt heavy. When she lowered her head to look, a black bead was already stuffed in her hand.
"Heaven will give great responsibilities to this person. For the rise of the sect, senior brother, you are great!"
With one hand on Chu Qiurong's arm, Tu Nian made an encouraging gesture with a firm look in her eyes. Chu Qiurong looked back at her, and her eyes twitched as if she had been electrocuted.
As expected, those who put pressure on others will eventually be pressured by others.
However, despite what Tu Nian said, the preparations were still very thorough. Jin Nanfeng drew five water-repellent talismans in total. She put one on Chu Qiurong and stuffed two on her body. In addition, she put a lot of the Vajra talismans that Tu Shan brought out on him.
"It's done, it's done. If you stick it on again, I'll turn into a talisman person."
Seeing that there were more and more talismans on his body, Chu Qiurong pulled Tu Nian with a smile. Tu Nian just put away the talismans and blinked at him, "You didn't want these, huh? If you hang them in there, you are not allowed to turn into a ghost and come to find me."
Chu Qiurong smiled evilly and pinched her cheek. "What's the point of turning into a ghost and looking for you? Why don't we turn into ghosts together? We can live together as souls and fly away together. It would be a beautiful thing."
"I'll go to yours."
Tu Nian rolled his eyes and kicked him directly. Fortunately, Chu Qiurong had anticipated this and dived into the water as soon as he finished speaking, barely avoiding the kick and swam to the deeper part.
Just as Chu Qiurong said, the best place to export goods in Qianji Lake is indeed the center of the lake. However, after a few trips back and forth, a lot of good things were found.
This is also where the Wuding Pearl came in handy. The elixirs that Chu Qiurong brought back were all over thirty to fifty years old, and some were even over a hundred years old. Moreover, these aquatic plants have always been rarer. When put on the market, their prices can be much higher than those of terrestrial plants of the same quality.
Tu Nian only needs to stay on the shore, blink his starry eyes and shout "Come on!", and collect the goods on the way. This boss who has nothing to do but count money is so happy doing it.
After doing this for about ten times, when he went into the water again, Chu Qiurong stayed in there for an unusually long time, so long that Tu Nian had finished packing all the spiritual medicines before, but he still hadn't come out of the water.
Tu Nian waited and waited but no one showed up. He felt really worried, so he left Bo Qiu behind and planned to try the water. However, when he had just gone halfway into the water, he was suddenly hooked by a force in the water at the ankle.
"Who—Ugh!"
Tu Nian was caught off guard and choked twice when she fell into the water. Chu Qiurong quickly lifted her out of the water and supported her on the shore. "Where's the water-repellent talisman? Why did you go into the water when you didn't have any?"
"Who, ahem, who knew you, a heartless soul, would be lying here like a drowned ghost, living so much that you wouldn't even utter a word. It's only because I'm kindhearted, or else I should have let you drown."
"Wrong, wrong."
Tu Nian coughed violently twice and clung to the shore to catch her breath. Chu Qiurong quickly admitted her mistake and patted her back carefully as she explained, "I saw a thousand-year-old dragon's breath sunflower deep over there. I was afraid there might be a monster guarding it, so I waited and watched nearby for a long time. That's why we were delayed."
Tu Nian was stunned. "Dragon Breath Sunflower? It's a thousand-year-old one!"
Dragon's Breath Heliotrope can be used to make elixirs and as medicine. It usually grows in the deep sea and is extremely rare. It can only survive by eating cold blood and flesh.
And if a dragon's breath sunflower is to have the quality of a thousand years, it must be watered with the cold blood and flesh of spiritual creatures such as snake demons and lizard demons from the beginning of the hundredth year. It will grow in this way for a thousand years and can be compared with the best natural treasures!
