Chapter 53: Loot and Herbs

Three days later, Zhen Yuan arrived at Yangguang Valley.

However, it was night and the day sunflowers had already closed their leaves.

’A day sunflower blooms during the day while a moon sunflower blooms at night. Since the green sun pill needs a blooming day sunflower, I will have to wait until daytime to find one. For now, I will collect some moon sunflowers.’ He thought.

When they revealed their secrets to each other, Shen Xu confided that the original owner was not only an alchemist but also a poison master.

Since the current Shen Xu was also interested in poisons, Zhen Yuan wanted to transplant some moon sunflowers into the Chaos Flame space.

In this way, Shen Xu would have practice materials when the time came.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuan began to walk around the valley.

For others, collecting moon sunflowers was a matter of risking life and limb.

However, for Zhen Yuan, it was as easy as drinking water.

First, he could see the golden rules floating above the day sunflowers and moon sunflowers.

Because of this, he could easily find and differentiate the herbs.

Second, Zhen Yuan was immune to poisons.

Even if he ate the moon sunflowers, he wouldn’t get a stomach ache, let alone be poisoned.

’It’s too bad I can’t share this physique with XiaoXu.’ He thought and subconsciously frowned.

From what Zhen Yuan knew, poison refining was a high-risk occupation.

More often than not, poison refiners poisoned themselves before they learned how to poison others.

“I should think of a way to protect Xiaoxu.” He muttered and continued to look for moon sunflowers.

After one hour, Zhen Yuan transplanted twenty stalks of moon sunflowers onto a remote area of the Chaos Flame space.

With the thought of leaving food for future generations, he didn’t continue harvesting the moon sunflowers.

Instead, he found a place and pitched a tent.

After he entered the tent, Zhen Yuan removed a storage ring and several storage bags from his storage bag.

“It’s about time.” He smiled, sat cross-legged and turned out a storage bag.

Unfortunately, the contents were disappointing.

“This should have belonged to a qi refining realm cultivator.” He snorted.

From the storage bag, he found less than one hundred thousand spirit stones, some talismans, and elixirs.

Similarly, the other storage bags varied from disappointing to more disappointing.

In the end, Zhen Yuan only collected eleven million spirit stones, four hundred and twenty-seven talismans, twenty-eight herbs and thirty bottles of assorted pills.

Other than that, he found identity tokens, clothes, daily necessities, food, wine, monster materials, weapons, talisman paper, talisman liquid, talisman brushes, and some talisman inheritance.

’At least I didn’t work for nothing.’ He thought and put away the spirit stones, herbs, monster materials, and the talisman inheritances.

As for everything else, he and Shen Xu didn’t need them.

However, Zhen Yuan kept them for resale.

After all, no matter how small, a mosquito was also meat.

“I hope the storage ring will be richer.” Zhen Yuan muttered and used his spiritual sense to check Rong Qu’s storage ring.

A moment later, his eyes widened in surprise and he dumped the contents on the ground.

“As expected of a clan patriarch.” Zhen Yuan smiled.

At a glance, Rong Qu had more than five hundred million spirit stones.

Besides that, he had thousands of talismans, some level two and level three pills, herbs, weapons, inheritance, and most importantly, three natural treasures.

The first treasure was a bottle of grape bees’ royal jelly.

Grape bees were a monster beast that only ate grapevine flowers and grapes.

As a result, they produced a refreshingly light but sweet honey.

The grape bees’ royal jelly was the honey produced by the queen bee.

If refined after advancing a major realm, it helped to stabilise the realm.

Since Shen Xu was about to build his foundation, Zhen Yuan naturally appreciated the grape bees’ royal jelly.

’With this thing, Xiaoxu can stabilise his realm in less than a month.’ He thought and put the bottle into his storage bag.

After that, Zhen Yuan opened the second treasure.

The second treasure was also in a bottle.

However, it wasn’t honey but a drop of jade water.

Jade water was a water-element treasure collected from jade condensate.

If refined when advancing to the foundation establishment realm, it increased the chance of building a foundation by more than five points.

Unfortunately, neither Zhen Yuan nor Shen Xu was a water or ice spiritual root cultivator.

Because of this, they couldn’t directly absorb the jade water.

’I will comprehend its rules and then sell it at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction.’

Suddenly recalling the auction, Zhen Yuan frowned.

By his count, there were six days until the auction.

After getting a lot of spirit stones, Zhen Yuan didn’t need to auction talismans at the auction.

However, he still wanted to buy some treasures for his wife.

If he could buy some fire-type treasures, the double would have an easier time advancing to the peak of the foundation establishment realm.

’I will return to Dragon City once I get the day sunflower.’ Zhen Yuan decided and began checking the third treasure.

As luck would have it, the third treasure was a bottle of low-grade soul water. Unfortunately, the bottle was half full and had ten drops of soul water.

“It’s still a good thing.” Zhen Yuan said and put the bottle in his storage bag.

After that, Zhen Yuan burned the useless things and arranged the items he planned to resell.

When that was done, he took out the talisman inheritances and began to study them.

Time passed quickly and before Zhen Yuan knew it, it was already the next day.

At midmorning, he put away his tent and began collecting the day sunflowers.

Half an hour later, he found a day sunflower that met the mission requirement.

After he put it away, Zhen Yuan looked around and decided to leave.

Unfortunately, he wanted to leave but someone didn’t want him to.

Just as Zhen Yuan took a step, a sweet fruity smell suddenly entered his nose.

At the same time, a voice echoed in his mind and his eyes widened in disbelief.

“What kind of horrible timing is this?” He muttered with a horrified expression.
