The fragrance gradually became stronger, and the eyes of everyone in the small room became a little tortured. They could not concentrate on chatting at all, and their eyes were always attracted to the roasted bamboo rat.
"How about we go outside? Staying here will make us look particularly worthless!"
Food can make people happy, and it is rare for Qin Wanxia to smile happily.
"Yes, let's all go out!"
Even though he knew that he was not related to Qin Wanxia, Elder Feng still immediately agreed. If it weren't for Luo Xiao here, if it weren't for the delicious temptation of Gu Zheng, Qin Wanxia wouldn't have stayed with her for so long in decades.
Everyone left, except Luo Xiao who wanted to learn more.
"Gu Zheng, would you like to teach me how to cook?"
Luo Xiao, who was watching Gu Zheng roasting bamboo rats, suddenly said something.
"Teaching you cooking skills? That means the ceremony of apprenticeship, serving tea, and kowtow are all indispensable!"
Luo Xiao didn't even address him with respect, and Gu Zheng wanted to scare her so that she wouldn't be impulsive.
"You're right, you have to act like a disciple when you're a disciple."
Luo Xiao agreed. She turned around and locked her eyes on the tea cup on the table.
"No, you are not joking with me, but I am joking with you!" Gu Zheng smiled awkwardly: "I haven't even started training yet. According to the master's requirements, I can't accept apprentices! When will I start teaching?
Only then are you qualified to accept disciples."
Regarding cooking skills, Gu Zheng was naturally asked by Luo Xiao, and his answer was still that he was taught by a master who never saw the end.
Facing Gu Zheng's rejection, Luo Xiao was not disappointed, but nodded in understanding.
"Guzheng will soon enter the Shu Ruins. If we need to explore dangerous places, can Emei join us?" Luo Xiao said.
"Let's talk about it then. If Shushan doesn't mind, it's not impossible for you to explore dangerous areas together."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, but he didn't take what Luo Xiao said too seriously. There were fifteen places in Shuxu's opening in Shushan. It can be said that there are many people, and among these people, the leader is not Luo Xiao.
Just because she has the intention to cooperate does not mean that others do too.
That is, while the two of them were talking, the bamboo rat had been roasted until it was six-mature, and the alluring fragrance became more and more intense.
Cut the roasted bamboo rat into pieces and put it into a pot with spring water from the ground on the side. Gu Zheng sliced the purple bujiantian prepared on the side.
The sound of the kitchen knife falling on the cutting board was so even that it made people feel a little dazed. White bamboo shoots appeared on the cutting board, and the thickness of each piece was the same.
Confused by the fresh aroma of bamboo, Gu Zheng put the sliced bamboo shoots into the pot and started to simmer over high heat.
The dish I made today does not look complicated to outsiders. There is nothing fancy about it, and the seasonings are only salt. Except for the fact that the bamboo rat meat has been roasted in advance, it can be said to be a simple stew. However,
It seems ordinary but is actually extraordinary. In addition to the high-grade ingredients, there is also Gu Zheng's understanding of food and the use of magic.
The water in the pot boiled quickly. Under the dual effects of Guzheng Fire Control Jue and Water Control Jue, the aromas of bamboo rats and Bu Jian Tian were intertwined and clearly distinguishable, making people want to swallow their saliva.
.
After simmering on high heat for a while, it was changed to low heat and simmered slowly. The originally rich aroma became restrained and mellow. With the sound of the pot sizzling, even Gu Zheng couldn't help but want to try it quickly.
What does this pot of fresh bamboo pot taste like?
The fresh bamboo pot came out of the pot and was divided into six bowls. The soup in each bowl was clear and the bottom was clear. There were golden-skinned meat and white and tender bamboo shoots inside.
In order to retain the original bamboo aroma of the ingredients to the greatest extent, Gu Zheng even refused Luo Xiao's suggestion to provide high-quality spices, and completely used magic to control the taste and aroma of the ingredients to the best.
"Master Gu, you really surprise me time and time again! I often eat bamboo rats, but why is the color of the soup you stew clear instead of milky white?"
Others had already started eating, and there were endless compliments, but Qin Wanxia was still holding the fresh bamboo pot and looking at it, her face full of emotions. She really didn't know why she didn't add any spices to enhance the taste.
A dish can actually be more appetizing than one with spices.
"The different colors of the soup are caused by the different control of the internal energy on the ingredients. The essence of the bamboo rat meat is released, the color of the soup is milky white, and the taste will be thick. The clear color of the soup is what makes bamboo rat meat to me
The essence of it is completely retained in the meat. After all, the invisible sky and the spring of earth veins are much more precious than the bamboo rat, and I want you to taste them even more."
Gu Zheng gave an explanation. In fact, there were some things he still didn't say, such as the fact that he let the invisible smell soak into the bamboo rat. It would be terrifying to think about it if he said such a thing. He used his inner strength to control the meat alone.
Locking water is understandable, but if you can control the infiltration and blocking of taste to this degree, it will make people wonder, is this related to the power of immortality? After all, if you want to achieve this through pure inner strength, you should
It's impossible.
Qin Wanxia didn't understand the art of cooking. Gu Zheng's explanation not only made her appreciate the perfection of food, but other than admiration, she could only quickly taste the delicious food.
“Soft, waxy, fragrant and smooth, just the right amount of fat and thin, it melts in your mouth, it’s so delicious!”
After taking a bite of bamboo rat meat, Qin Wanxia's eyes lit up. She was originally worried that the aroma of the two plump bamboo rats would be a bit greasy, but now it seemed that she was overthinking it.
“It’s really delicious. I’ve never eaten bamboo rats with such a strong bamboo aroma! No, any meat food with bamboo shoots is like this dish. I’ve obviously eaten meat, but there’s still something in my mouth.
The fragrance of bamboo that cannot be concealed is in it, and it is so fresh that it makes people feel like they are in a sea of bamboo."
Qin Wanxia closed her eyes and recollected the soup. She took a sip of the soup. Her eyes instantly opened and widened. She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of the soup and put it in her mouth.
"I enjoyed it so much. I can't think of any words to describe this bowl of clear soup and the so-called disappearance of the sky!"
Qin Wanxia looked at Gu Zheng with admiration in her eyes. In fact, it was not just her, but also several other people.
Tang Guzheng also drank it, and he didn’t feel that the reactions of several people were excessive!
Although the soup is clear, there is still some meaty flavor in it. Although some of the bamboo fragrance from the sky has entered into the bamboo rat meat, the bamboo fragrance itself is extremely strong, and the lost fragrance does not affect its quality at all.
.
The medium-quality water source, the ordinary level of water, plus the hint of meat, creates a refreshing and fresh aroma that makes people feel like they have been walking in the desert for a long time. The moment they drink it, not only is it satisfying, but the environment they are in is also
It's like being transformed into a bamboo sea full of greenery and humid air. There is nothing else in the world except the fragrance of bamboo.
There were six bowls of fresh bamboo stew, but Qin Wanxia was still eager to drink. Not only her, the eyes looking at Gu Zheng were full of longing, and she wanted to let Gu Zheng cook another pot.
Gu Zheng was lazy to begin with, and there were no bamboo rats among the main ingredients, so he left Hidden Sword Peak early on the pretext that his internal energy was severely depleted and he needed to rest. However, due to repeated requests from Qin Wanxia and others, Gu Zheng
I still promised them that after coming out of Shu Ruins, I would give them another tooth sacrifice.
The Shu Ruins are about to be opened, and the place to open the Shu Ruins is in the back mountain.
Early in the morning, Gu Zheng and others, led by the senior officials of Emei, headed towards the back mountain.
Along the way, Gu Zheng kept a low profile. Apart from occasionally chatting quietly with his disciples, he rarely looked away. Every time the Shu Ruins were opened, two Supreme Elders from Shushan would be dispatched. As for the immortal cultivators, Gu Zheng now
My attitude is that if you can avoid direct contact, it is best not to have direct contact.
There were a total of four places to enter the Shu Ruins, which was far beyond Gu Zheng's initial expectations. He designated the remaining three places as Gu An, Liu Ying and Zhang Tiancheng.
Needless to say, Gu An, he followed Gu Zheng during his last trip to the Tianshan Mountains, and his current cultivation level is in the middle stage of the third level.
Liu Ying, like Gu An, is one of the more outstanding disciples of their generation in Emei. His cultivation level is also in the middle of the third level, and he is well-behaved and obedient.
Zhang Tiancheng is in his forties, in the middle of the fourth stage of cultivation, and is a deacon in the sect. In terms of personality, he is very similar to Gu An. He is the kind of person who doesn't talk much, but is loyal to the sect and the leader.
There is nothing we can do about Emei. Each person can only enter the Shu Ruins once. Both Wuyou and Wuyou have gone in. There are four disciples in the late stage realm in the sect, and there are more than one, but either they have just advanced and are not stable, or they are practicing.
There was a fork, and there was no choice but to let Zhang Tiancheng come.
As for Liu Ying and Gu An, if they were replaced by other fourth-level disciples, they would be no different from them, so why not let them go in first to experience it.
There is only one quota for the Qingcheng Sect, and it falls on a man named Zhao Xin. This man is in his sixties and is in the middle of the fifth level. In the past, the Qingcheng Sect almost always occupied the second place, and there were more places to enter the Shu Ruins.
Because of this, almost all of their mid- to late-level fifth-level powers have entered the Shu Ruins. It is not easy to pull out a mid-level fifth-level player who has not entered the Shu Ruins this time.
The person from the Situ family who was able to enter the Shu Ruins was not the crazy young man Situ Cong, but Situ Mingguo, who had witnessed the Hidden Sword Peak incident. His cultivation level was already in the middle of the fifth level. As for Situ Cong, he lost it.
A quota from the Shu Ruins caused a very embarrassing incident, and I heard that he has been locked up until now.
Ziyun Palace also has four quotas this time. In addition to the three Lingxue sisters who have witnessed the Hidden Sword Peak incident before, there is also a petite and exquisite woman. The cultivation of the three Lingxue sisters are all in the early stage of the fifth level. As for the petite and exquisite woman
This is the first time Gu Zheng has seen this woman. He doesn’t even know her name, let alone her cultivation.
The Lingjian Sect has five quotas. Among them, the old man who leads the team is named Han Yi, and his cultivation level is already at the late fifth level. As for the other three men and one woman, the female is also at the late fifth level, and the other three men are at the late fifth level.
Because they are all in the middle stage of the fifth level.
The same was true when Emei was strong before. Every time I entered, there were several late-level five levels, but now, there is no way to mention them.
Shushan has a total of fifteen Shuxu quotas. Their leader’s name is Yang Lanbo, and his cultivation level is also at the late fifth level. Among the other fourteen team members, except for three at the late fifth level, the fifth level
There are five in the middle stage and four in the early stage of the fifth level. Luo Xiao's cultivation level at the early stage of the fourth level is ranked second to last. As for the one ranked first from the bottom, his cultivation level is only in the middle stage of the third level.
Shu Ruins is a special place. Those who enter Shu Ruins are not there to practice, but to collect various cultivation resources on behalf of the sect. Of course, in such a unique place, people who enter have certain benefits.
As for other opportunities, it depends on personal luck. Anyway, as long as you can come out of the Shu Ruins alive, except for those in the late fifth level, basically everyone can advance. The lower the cultivation level, the more obvious it will be.
This is an open space in a dense forest. There are five foot-high stone tablets erected in the open space, with some obscure symbols engraved on them. This is the location where the Ruins of Shu opened.
When everyone rushed here, the time for the opening of the Shu Ruins was almost here. The two Supreme Elders of Shu Mountain gave a lecture. They just said that people from the same lineage of Shu Mountain should unite and help each other after entering, and should not compete for resources.
Instead, they kill each other and so on.
The time to open the Ruins of Shu has come, and the bodies of the two Supreme Elders suddenly turned into afterimages. They surrounded the five stone tablets, raising their hands to hit the stone tablets with their immortal power from time to time.
There was flying sand and rocks all around, the trees were swaying wildly as if they were about to break, thunder was rolling in the sky, and the five stone tablets were wrapped with electric light, exuding a kind of heart-stopping coercion.
"Open the Shu Ruins!"
The two Supreme Elders roared, their palms facing each other, and the shock wave generated by the collision of their immortal powers knocked all those who were about to enter the Shu Ruins to the ground, including those in the late fifth level.
A dazzling light emitted out of thin air, and a crack appeared in the center of the five stone monuments. It was so black that it could swallow up people's eyes, but the edge of the crack was flashing with dazzling white light, making it difficult for people to close their eyes.
Open.
"According to the ranking order, after the Shushan disciples enter, it will be the turn of the Lingjian Sect disciples."
After the words of a Supreme Elder, the Shushan disciples immediately entered the crack one after another under the leadership of Yang Lanbo.
When it was the Emei Sect's turn, Gu Zheng took the lead and entered the crack. He felt a tightness all over his body and couldn't see anything in the darkness. However, this special feeling only lasted for two seconds, and his sight was clear.
After the restoration, the ancient struggle has entered the Shu Ruins.
We are at the edge of the forest, and no one knows how long the forest is. Even if Gu Zheng's eyesight is much stronger than ordinary people, he can't see both sides at a glance.
The forest is almost entirely filled with fir trees, most of which are old fir trees that need several people to embrace. The sects that entered first stayed at the edge of the forest. The disciples in the sect were all very excited. They finally came to this legendary place.
The place.
There are sun, moon and stars inside, and they are exactly the same as the outside world, but this is an area that cannot be found on the map. This is the Ruins of Shu.
Looking at the forest in front of him, Gu Zheng's eyes widened. Just at the edge of the jungle, he found two nests of golden chanterelles, ranked among the four most famous fungi in the world. They were too far away, and Gu Zheng had no way of knowing.
Their ingredients are of high quality, but if they want to be reborn in a place like Shuxu without modern pollution, they should at least be low-grade ingredients.
In just a moment, the Situ family and Qingcheng, who were ranked behind Emei, also entered the Shu Ruins.
"Since everyone is here, let's go our separate ways. I hope you will remember the instructions given by the Supreme Elder before leaving." Yang Lanbo said.
Regarding Yang Lanbo's words, representatives of the five major branches of Shushan all nodded in agreement.
Yang Lanbo didn't say anything more and led the people from Shushan into a path in the forest.
When Luo Xiao entered the forest, she looked back at Gu Zheng, who smiled at her.
"I didn't expect that Master Gu is quite good at flirting with women."
After the Shushan sect's people completely disappeared, Situ Mingguo laughed in a strange way.
"You are young, and you have plenty of strength to work hard!"
Zhao Xin of the Qingcheng Sect was originally a vulgar-looking old man, but now he looks even more vulgar when he smiles.
"what are you saying?"
Zhang Tiancheng shouted fiercely, with a ferocious look on his face. He was ready to step forward and fight desperately if Gu Zheng said one word. Although Gu An and Liu Ying didn't say anything, they immediately clenched their weapons.
"It's just a joke."
"Master Gu, we are taking the first step!"
Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin each said a word, and without waiting for Gu Zheng to say anything, they stepped into the two paths in the forest respectively.
There are a total of six roads in the forest, and these six roads lead to six places respectively. Except for the Shushan sect's road that remains unchanged, which road the five branch sects take is based on their ranking.
Now that everyone has left, Gu Zheng didn't say anything more, but walked directly towards the chanterelles beside the road in Shushan. For other sects, there are many things they don't want and don't understand. In Gu Zheng
It is very likely that these are all cultivation resources.
"Chanterelles, inferior food."
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded, just as Gu Zheng expected in advance.
Second-rate food is no longer a rarity for today's Gu Zhenglao, but the two nests of chanterelles are large in quantity, weighing about three kilograms. What's more, this is what they had just entered the Sichuan Ruins.
It’s really exciting to think about what you have gained and what else you can gain in the future.
Putting the chanterelles in the backpack, Gu Zheng actually used it as a cover to throw it directly into the ancient space. Mushrooms are tender ingredients, and if they are rubbed back and forth with movement in the backpack, even if the quality is not damaged, the
It must have ruined its appearance, so it would be better to put it directly into the super fresher in the prehistoric space.
"The chanterelles are useful to the leader. How about we search for some separately? There should be a lot of this fungus in the forest."
Liu Ying is a beautiful woman, with fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth, and a nice speaking voice, just like an announcer.
"No, just pick some when you encounter them on the road. If you don't look for them specifically, our first priority is to enter the third resource area first."
As he spoke, Gu Zheng took the lead and set foot on the road belonging to Emei.
This road in the forest is very long. According to the two elders Wuyou and Wuyou, it will take three hours to walk out even if there is no delay.
The space was very good, but the light was very dark. Fortunately, Gu Zheng and the others were not ordinary people, so their vision was not greatly affected. After entering the forest for a while, Zhang Tiancheng, who was responsible for clearing the way, discovered another nest.
Chanterelles of this quality.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhang Tiancheng vigorously inhaled the wings of his nose, carefully capturing the sweetness in the air.
In fact, Gu Zheng knew what Zhang Tiancheng was going to do. He also smelled the fragrance earlier than Zhang Tiancheng. But as the leader of a faction, sometimes it is good to let his subordinates do some things for him. The leader has done everything, and his subordinates
There is no sense of presence and the loss of affinity is not conducive to unity.
"Master, according to the information given by the two elders, the small fragrant pears fifty meters ahead on the left are ripe. We can go there and pick them," Zhang Tiancheng said.
"Lead the way!" Gu Zheng smiled slightly.
Like a bonsai, a small fragrant pear tree with strangely growing branches is in front of you. There are eight pears the size of quail eggs hidden among the few leaves on it.
Although the pears are edible, they are also presentable, golden in color, and exuding an alluring sweet aroma.
"Little fragrant pear, a low-grade exotic fruit. Eating it can increase some internal energy and cultivation."
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded, and Gu Zheng was not surprised by this.
The reason why it is said that as long as you enter the Shu Ruins and survive, your cultivation level will definitely advance after you leave the Shu Ruins, it is because there are many rare and rare fruits in the Shu Ruins, and many of these things can directly increase your cultivation level.
In the Age of Dharma Ending, many super sects have reserved places like Shuxu to increase their cultivation resources, otherwise it would be more difficult to cultivate.
Qi Ling gave the Xiaoxiang Pear a low-grade and exotic fruit evaluation. There must be middle-grade and high-grade fruits above it. Moreover, the two elders also told Gu Zheng that although there is no fairy energy in the Shu Ruins, it can produce
Fruits containing immortal power, and these things in the mouth of the weapon spirit must be fairy fruits of a certain grade. As for the ordinary fruits in the outside world, when the weapon spirit evaluates them, they will not say that they are strange fruits, but only that they are
grade of food.
"Master, how to distribute?"
Liu Ying took off the small fragrant pear and held it in her hands, looking very excited.
"One for me, three for Deacon Zhang, and two for you and Gu An."
In fact, Gu Zheng doesn't need to eat it. Xiaoxiangli can enhance his internal energy, and what he has in his body is immortal power. Although he can also turn his internal energy into immortality, the increase in Xiaoxiangli is not enough to begin with.
It fills gaps between teeth. However, small pear is a rare fruit after all, so it’s good to eat one to satisfy your appetite.
"Master, you can't do this. You are the pillar of the sect, and the improvement of your cultivation is the most important thing!"
Zhang Tiancheng was flattered, and although Gu An and Liu Ying didn't speak, they obviously meant the same.
"You can eat as long as you are told, where does all this nonsense come from!"
Gu Zheng laughed and cursed, took a small fragrant pear from Liu Ying's hand, rinsed it with water and put it in his mouth.
Sweet and crispy! The pear is also full of juice, and the core of the pear melts in your mouth, turning into a warm current that settles in the pubic region.
"It's delicious. It's different from the fruits outside!"
Gu Zheng smashed his mouth and savored the aftertaste. Seeing his firm attitude, Zhang Tiancheng and others stopped saying anything and ate the small fragrant pears one after another, showing a look of satisfaction on their faces.
"Zhizhi"
As if a roaring sound came from not far away, a sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Zheng's mouth, and Zhang Tiancheng and others immediately stood in front of him.
There are many rare birds and beasts in the Shu Ruins, and many of the so-called cultivation resources of humans are their rations. The reason why Li Tiancheng heard about it on the way, instead of directly bringing Gu Zheng here, is to make sure that Xiaoxiangli
Has it been eaten by something?
In almost the blink of an eye, a monkey with snow-white fur and two pairs of ears appeared in the sight of Gu Zheng and others. However, the four-eared monkey did not immediately rush towards Gu Zheng and others, but
He was standing on a big tree, scratching his head and ears anxiously.
"It turns out to be a four-eared white monkey, just a low-level spiritual beast."
Zhang Tiancheng said the monkey's name, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
There are many spiritual beasts in the Ruins of Shu, and the ancestors also divided their strengths.
The low level is equivalent to the internal energy cultivators of the first and second levels, the medium level is equivalent to the internal energy practitioners of the third and fourth levels, and the high level is equivalent to the practitioners of the fifth level. And those above the fifth level are fairy-level spiritual beasts. Currently,
The white cats in Emei are actually fairy-level spiritual beasts, but there are very few spiritual beasts outside.
There are fairy-level spirit beasts in the Shu Ruins. Many years ago, when the Shu Ruins opened, several sects of disciples encountered fairy-level spirit beasts. At that time, among all the sects that entered the Shu Ruins, Emei was the most seriously injured.
Three of the late fourth-level elders were killed by fairy-level beasts, and after that ranking event, Emei's ranking dropped by two.
"Zhizhi"
The more he looked at the pear tree without the little fragrant pear, the angrier the four-eared white monkey became. It was irrational and rushed towards Zhang Tiancheng who was at the front regardless of life and death, with a metallic luster flashing on its small paws.
"Go to hell!"
Zhang Tiancheng pushed out a palm, and the internal force directly shattered the four-eared white monkey's skull and knocked it away.
Zhang Tiancheng stepped forward and chopped off the four claws of the four-eared white monkey with his sword, then disembowelled it and took out a shimmering bead from its belly.
Everything Zhang Tiancheng did may seem cruel, but this is the world of cultivators and a microcosm of the world of immortal cultivators.
Spiritual beasts and demonic beasts in the outside world have higher intelligence than ordinary beasts. After cultivating to a certain level, they can unlock spiritual wisdom, form inner elixirs, transform into humans, and have boundless magical power.
In the Ruins of Shu, there is only one kind of spiritual beast, and it is different from the ones in the outside world.
The intelligence of the spiritual beasts in the Shu Ruins is a little lower than that of the outside world, and they are not much stronger than ordinary beasts, just like this four-eared white monkey who does not know whether to live or die. They want to open up their spiritual intelligence and even become immortal-level spirits.
Beasts are much more difficult than spirit beasts in the outside world. However, this kind of spirit beasts also have their advantages. They are born with spiritual elixirs, and their initial strength, and even reaching high-level spirit beasts, are much higher than those of spirit beasts in the outside world.
The spiritual beasts have the upper hand, and their reproductive capabilities are very powerful.
The inner elixir is obtained by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon through continuous practice, while the spiritual elixir is something you are born with. Both are beads in the body of a spiritual beast, and the inner elixir is much more valuable than the spiritual elixir.
But even so, in the end of the Dharma era when cultivation resources are scarce, spiritual elixir is still an absolutely good thing. It can be used to refine many elixirs, including the kind that can directly enhance internal energy.
The cultivation resources in Shu Ruins are divided into three major categories.
The first largest resource: exotic fruit resources.
The second largest resource: spiritual beast resources.
The third largest resource: minerals and herbs.
Alien fruit resources refer to those fruits that can directly increase cultivation. Each sect in Shu Ruins has its corresponding alien fruit resource area.
Spiritual beast resources refer to spiritual elixirs and all the things on the spiritual beast that can be used for "refining".
In fact, minerals, like exotic fruits, have resource areas corresponding to the ranking of sects. The ores in the resource areas can also be used to make elixirs and various "refining". Although mining is not easy, the advantage is that you don't have to run around to find it, and the safety factor is high.
.
As for herbal medicine resources, they are not ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the traditional sense, but herbs unique to Sichuan. Their collection has special uses.
Although Gu Zheng has the method of food cultivation, among the three major resources in Shu Ruins, among the spiritual beast resources, the only ones that are useful to him are edible and good-grade meat. As for mineral and herbal resources, for the time being,
It is of little use to him, and the fruit-bearing resources will be the option he focuses on spending time on.
Zhang Tiancheng put away the resources contributed by the four-eared white monkey, and the group set off on the road again. Not all spiritual beasts’ meat is edible. Although the four-eared white monkey looks cute, its meat tastes spicy and astringent.
, the grade of ingredients is really unsightly.
There are three small fragrant pear trees along the way, but it is a pity that two of the small fragrant pear trees have been eaten up by spiritual beasts. On the only one that still has fruits, only one is left.
In an effort to be eaten by Zhang Tiancheng, who was about to advance, he also killed a junior spiritual beast, the Grur Pig, and received a spiritual elixir.
As for the harvest of food ingredients, Gu Zheng found more than seven kilograms of fungi along the way, more than half of which were inferior chanterelles and leaf mushrooms. There was also another half a kilogram of ordinary-quality fungi, which were found in a termite colony.
Half a pound of chicken fir collected near the nest.
Gu Zheng and others had already walked out of the forest. From a distance, there was a large sparse red area ahead, which was the resource area to which the third branch belonged.
This resource area is an exotic fruit resource, with more than 100 red fruit trees, more than 50 spiritual peach trees, and more than a dozen blood crystal grape trees, covering an area of more than 50 acres.
Depending on the ranking, the number of fruit trees in the resource area is also different. But the same thing is that the ripening time of these exotic fruits is all on the third day after the opening of Shu Ruins.
The Ruins of Shu are very large and are divided into the periphery and the depths. The predecessors of Shushan established a barrier between the periphery and the depths. Almost no spiritual beasts can cross it, but people can venture into the depths.
The strength of the peripheral spirit beasts is basically not high, and because of some spiritual reasons, they instinctively do not destroy immature herbs and exotic fruits. After all, eating these things has considerable benefits for them.
If you eat it at the right time, the benefits will be gone.
In such a strange environment, every time the Shu Ruins opens, each sect must go through a battle for the orchard. The capable Shushan sect will drive away all the spiritual beasts waiting in the orchard within a short period of time.
.
As for other sects, they have to compete with spirit beasts for territory every time in order to live in peace and gain more resources. But there are also unlucky sects, such as one a long time ago, when Wuyou and Wuyou were just children.
The Emei sect who entered the Shu Ruins was an elder at the late fifth level.
But who would have thought that when Elder Emei regained the orchard, he provoked a high-level spiritual beast, the Red Ground Fierce Bear, and was mauled by the spiritual beast. Although he did not lose his life, he was never able to enter the orchard to pick the fruit openly.
Taking the fruit was later regarded as a joke and was laughed at by other sects for a long time.
"Master, why don't several sects join forces to drive away all the spiritual beasts in the orchard first? If the forces are divided, it will be difficult for other sects except Shushan!" Liu Ying asked.
"The reason for the situation of each fighting on his own is not that people are not unified, but the rules set by the ancestors of Shushan. As for why such rules were set, some people say that the ancestors of Shushan hope that future generations will follow the way of nature and not
Squeezing the spirit beasts too hard in order to gain long-term benefits. Some people say that this is a trick used by the ancestors of Shushan to prevent the branch sects from surpassing Shushan. Anyway, you can say whatever you want." Gu Zheng smiled.
