Having shaken off Feng Heyun and his companion, Chen Sanruo continued her journey to Wuqing Village.
She had slowed down their pace, which also eliminated a competitor for herself.
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and she arrived at Wuqing Village within the estimated time.
Wuqing Village is the largest city in the Illusory Realm. After paying the spirit stones required to enter, Chen Sangruo entered Wuqing Village.
The scenery there was not much different from what she had seen in her previous life; the distinctive architecture shrouded the entire Wuqing Village in mystery.
She easily found her way to the central area of Wuqing Village, where a towering pavilion suddenly came into view.
The plaque reads "Floating Cloud Pavilion," which is where the old wizard secluded himself.
By this time, many people who had come from afar had gathered in front of the bulletin board around Fuyun Tower.
Besides those who came for the old wizard, many others passed through Wuqing Village and headed deeper into the Illusory Realm.
Those people are "treasure hunters." The Illusory Realm is fraught with danger, but it also contains a large number of mysterious "treasures." Legend has it that a great being ascended to immortality here, leaving behind endless treasures.
Therefore, cultivators flocked to the area in search of treasure. Most of them were extremely familiar with the terrain and were not easily lost in the Illusory Domain. Each time, they were able to reap rich rewards.
Shen Sanruo also squeezed into the crowd, only to learn that the old wizard would not emerge from seclusion for another month.
She decided to go deep into the Illusory Realm to find the Myriad Transformation Wood and return two or three days early.
Even if we can't find the Myriad Transformation Wood in such a short time, it's still worthwhile to explore the way.
She couldn't just sit and wait anyway.
She booked a guesthouse nearby in advance so that she wouldn't be homeless when she returned.
Before she left, the innkeeper's waiter said to her, "The mountain god will protect you."
She knew something about this from her previous life. The locals believed that there was a mountain god on the tallest mountain in the Misty Realm, and they were extremely devout to the mountain god.
After making all the preparations, they continued deeper into the Illusory Realm.
The Illusory Realm is rich in spiritual plants, and the deeper she goes, the more rare spiritual plants she can find every few steps.
She collected some at random, intending to take them back to Su Xiyu, where they might be used as materials for alchemy.
What attracted her most were all kinds of mushrooms.
Not only does it taste delicious when made into spiritual dishes, but it can also have unexpected effects when added to elixirs.
But she dared not pick them up randomly, as some of them were highly poisonous. In her previous life, one of the people in the group she followed accidentally ate a certain kind of mushroom and died on the spot. No amount of elixirs and pills the leader used could save him.
So she only picked up some that she recognized and had confirmed were not poisonous.
It seems that Shen Sangruo has a grudge against mushrooms, as she encounters mushrooms the most along the way.
The items were good, but not so good that she would spend a lot of time on them.
Just as they were about to continue forward, Shen Sangruo's gaze fell on an extremely inconspicuous mushroom in the grass.
"A resurrection fungus?" Her voice sounded somewhat surprised.
Upon closer inspection, she saw that the cap of the mushroom was covered with a mysterious totem, confirming that it was indeed a resurrection mushroom.
The Resurrection Fungus is a rare and top-grade spiritual plant. The Resurrection Pill made from it can revive the dead and heal the wounded. It is extremely rare in the cultivation world.
In her previous life, her team stayed in the Illusory Realm for several months without finding any trace of the Resurrection Bacteria. Perhaps it was her destiny in this life that allowed her to discover the Resurrection Bacteria so easily.
A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes as she carefully picked the resurrection fungus.
If this were refined into a Rejuvenation Pill, how many spirit stones would it fetch at the Linglong Pavilion?
She felt as if she was one step closer to rebuilding Ninghua Sect.
That wasn't all; she then discovered one or two resurrection bacteria every few dozen meters.
Shen Sangruo accepted them all.
When she had collected more than ten resurrection mushrooms, she found herself in front of a vast sea of mushrooms, the colorful mushrooms dazzling her eyes.
Among them are some top-quality spiritual plants, just like the Resurrection Fungus.
This mushroom field was extremely well hidden, surrounded by hillsides. If she hadn't followed the "guidance" of the resurrection mushroom, she probably wouldn't have found it.
She forcibly suppressed her joy and transformed into "Little Sangruo picking mushrooms," plunging into the sea of mushrooms.
As she focused all her attention on the mushrooms, the map she had placed aside for navigation flashed red before quickly going dark again.
Of course, there are also many poisonous mushrooms in this sea of mushrooms.
For example, the hallucinogenic fungus disguises itself with an alluring fragrance, but in reality, it causes hallucinations.
But she also collected some Mirror Image Fungus, thinking that she would be able to use it someday.
Just as she was engrossed in her work, a series of crackling sounds suddenly came from the hillside.
Immediately afterwards, an unidentified object rolled down from above at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by cries of agony.
It stopped right at her feet.
"Ouch……"
Shen Sanruo then realized that the "unknown object" was none other than Fang Yu of the Hehuan Sect, whom she had encountered before.
The other person also came to their senses at this moment, looking at her with a surprised expression, "Sister Sang Ruo! I didn't expect to run into you again!"
Chen Sangruo looked at Fang Yu, who was covered in mud, and asked, "This... is also a carefully planned entrance?"
She remembered that Fang Yu had also fallen in front of her in the same way last time.
"How did you end up here?" she asked again.
As a disciple who was leaving the sect for the first time to gain experience, he could only wander around the outer layer of the Illusory Domain at most, but this place was already deep within the Illusory Domain.
Fang Yu looked somewhat embarrassed and quickly stood up, saying a little apologetically, "I got lost and even lost the map my master gave me. I ended up here by accident."
"Can you go from the outer layer to the depths?" Shen Sanruo clicked her tongue slightly in amazement.
This was such an "accidental" mistake.
In some ways, Fang Yu is also an extraordinary person.
"I slipped and fell down the hillside, and that's what you just saw."
In comparison, their luck is like two extremes: one is extremely lucky, and the other is incredibly unlucky.
Fang Yu himself didn't react much to this. The fact that he met Shen Sangruo meant that God still had some conscience, and now he didn't have to worry about not being able to get out of this mess.
He quickly regained his composure and acted as if nothing had happened, looking at the mushrooms in her hand.
"Sister Sang Ruo, are you picking mushrooms?"
“Yes, there are many high-quality mushrooms here, you can pick more,” Chen Sangruo replied.
Since Fang Yu was able to get here, it means that he also had this opportunity, and she did not have the idea of keeping it all to herself.
"Oh, oh." Fang Yu nodded and started picking the fruit, just like Chen Sangruo.
Mainly, he heard that mushroom soup is extremely delicious, so he thought it would be good to pick some and make soup.
"Some mushrooms are poisonous, so be careful," Chen Sangruo reminded her.
"I'll just follow Sister Sangruo's instructions."
Fang Yu responded and then turned to pick mushrooms.
