Chapter 40: Unexpected Gains (Please collect! Please read!)
Two hours passed quietly.

For safety reasons, Zhou Qingshan, Mo Yanqiu and Gao Feixue chose to bypass the territory of the incoming alien beasts.

They searched for inconspicuous marks in the fog, turned several steep slopes, and finally found the marked location on the animal skin map between the crevice of a valley.

"This is the cave with the 'Zhong Ling Lotion'."

Gao Feixue stopped and unfolded the animal skin map in his hand. He carefully compared the surrounding terrain and found a unique stone mark next to it to confirm that they were not in the wrong place.

What appeared before my eyes was a hidden and deep cave, with thick fog lingering like a veil.

Huhu.

A gentle breath continuously flowed out of the cave, forming a sharp contrast with the cold wind outside.

Zhou Qingshan and Mo Yanqiu were observing the surroundings vigilantly to make sure that there was no hidden danger in this seemingly peaceful cave.

After finding no signs of wild animals within a few steps, the three of them prepared to explore deeper into the cave.

"Wait, there's something strange about this place. Let me take the lead next."

Just as Gao Feixue took the lead in entering the cave, Mo Yanqiu behind him suddenly raised his hand and placed it on Gao Feixue's shoulder, and whispered.

It’s so warm here…

This warm cave is like a "water source" for wild beasts. It is so conspicuous in winter, and there must be countless wild beasts keeping warm here.

But she and her young master found no signs of wild animals living nearby.

It is very likely that there is a big guy's nest inside...

Gao Feixue looked back at Mo Yanqiu's serious expression, did not try to be stubborn, nodded, and retreated to Zhou Qingshan's side.

Mo Yanqiu stared at Gao Feixue, a trace of worry flashed across his eyes, and whispered:
"Feixue...if the situation is not right, I will stop you for a while. When the time comes, don't hesitate. Get out of the cave as quickly as possible and wait for me along the way we came."

"What about you?" Gao Feixue asked after hearing this.

"I will find a way to get out of this when the time comes." Mo Yanqiu glanced at Zhou Qingshan and added, "I won't joke with my life. If I tell you to leave, you leave right away!"

"Okay." Gao Feixue nodded heavily.

Mo Yanqiu took a deep breath, tightly grasped the Zhenyue Spear, and took the lead in entering the cave. The light in the cave was dim, but some glowing moss could be vaguely seen on the cave wall, emitting a soft light.

The surrounding mist was dyed a faint green color.

The three of them formed a triangle formation and moved forward carefully into the cave. They were extremely cautious with every step they took, with their ears perked up to catch every tiny sound around them.

As they went deeper and deeper, the cave gradually became more spacious.

Tick.

Tick.

A crisp sound of dripping water echoed in the quiet cave, breaking the tranquility. It was the sound of water dripping from the top of the cave, regular and clear.

"Zhongling Lotion?" Zhou Qingshan suddenly said in a low voice.

The three of them looked at each other and realized that they might be close to the goal of this trip.

Following the sound of dripping water, the three of them approached cautiously.

Suddenly, the light ahead became brighter, the mist returned to pure white, and a faint fragrance mixed with green grass filled the air.

look around.

There was a spring scene inside, with a layer of soft green grass on the ground and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants growing on the surrounding cave walls.

Mo Yanqiu, Zhou Qingshan, and Gao Feixue approached and stepped on a piece of soft green grass. On the stalactites on the top of the cave, drops of milky white stalactite were like slowly dripping nectar, gathering below to form a natural pool the size of a face.

"In eight years, I have accumulated so much Zhong Ling lotion, at least ten kilograms."

Zhou Qingshan came back to his senses, walked forward, took out the copper container specially prepared to collect Zhong Ling Emulsion, and packed it up carefully.

"Young man, come and take a look here..." Mo Yanqiu's voice echoed in the cave, attracting Zhou Qingshan's attention.

Zhou Qingshan quickly put the bronze vessel containing Zhong Ling Lotion into the Yunding chessboard world, leaving only one bottle with him, and then looked in the direction pointed by Mo Yanqiu.

Through the hazy mist, he saw Mo Yanqiu looking up at a strange little fruit tree on the wall of the cave.

The small fruit tree is not tall, only one meter high, but it emits a faint glow and a warm atmosphere at all times, as if it is a warm lamp in a cave.

The branches are curved and simple, with small red fruits hanging among the green leaves. These small fruits are round and bright in color, like ripe rubies, shining brightly.

Gao Feixue also walked closer to take a look, staring at the strange little fruit tree for a while, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"This is... Red Jade Fruit? A first-grade, top-quality spiritual seed. No wonder a patch of grass grew inside this cave in the cold winter."

She carefully counted the red jade fruits on the tree and found that there were nineteen in total.

The fruit produced by this top-grade spiritual seed is enough for a strong man to practice for half a month to completely digest its medicinal properties.

What's more, she is a warrior at the blood coagulation level.

These nineteen red jade fruits were enough for her and Mo Yanqiu to practice for nearly a year.

Mo Yanqiu looked around and said thoughtfully, "Since Red Jade Fruit can grow here, there must be a 'Hidden Spiritual Vein' deep in this place, and it must be of a high quality."

Spiritual seeds can subtly influence the surrounding environment and nourish the nearby land.

However, a first-level low-grade spirit seed can affect an area of ​​about one acre at most, a first-level medium-grade spirit seed can affect an area of ​​five acres, and a first-level high-grade spirit seed can affect an area of ​​ten acres.

And they could feel the warmth from outside the cave, which was obviously more than the ten acres of ordinary first-grade high-quality spiritual seeds. This place was not just affected by the power of the 'Red Jade Fruit'.

"I now understand why my father insisted on going to Creekside Ridge every winter. It turns out there are treasures like this hidden there."

Zhou Qingshan stared intently at the ruby-like red jade fruit hanging on the tree branch.

The half-acre spiritual field in Shengfengling obviously couldn't grow this high-quality spiritual seed, so my father could only wait for the "red jade fruit" to mature every year before picking it.

Can……

He is different.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhou Qingshan's mind. The Cloud Top Chessboard World he owned had a rich spiritual energy, comparable to the third-level spiritual veins of Black Cloud City. Why not transplant this "Red Jade Fruit Tree" into it?

Before, in the Yunding chessboard world, Yan Qiu and I were looking forward to eating all the first-grade low-grade spiritual seeds called "Jade Spiritual Seeds" in the future.

I thought it would take another year or two before the big promises could be fulfilled.

I didn’t expect my dream to come true so quickly.

What's the point of low-grade spiritual seeds? We can just eat high-grade spiritual seeds to cultivate!
take off!

Zhou Qingshan turned to look at Mo Yanqiu, only to see that her eyes were equally burning, and she had obviously thought of this as well.

The two people's eyes met in the air and they reached a consensus in an instant.

Then they turned to the red jade fruit tree on the wall of the cave.

Must be transplanted into the Yunding chessboard world!
