Chapter 1333: Chapter 1333: Unexpected Incident
The brothers Qi Yan and Qi Hong also felt it. They sped up the flying boat, hoping to get to the Shaping Fruit Tree before anyone noticed.
Qi Hong grew increasingly excited, "Mother, that thing is about to mature."
"Qi Hong, just take a few branches. Let’s not disturb the tree itself."
Qi Hong nodded, "I understand." It’s important to always leave a way out.
As they were nearing the center, the flying boat was attacked by the water columns of the Saw-toothed Crocodile.
Su Yuanyuan realized it was a warning.
She tried using her Divine Sense to find the Sixth Rank Sawtooth Crocodile.
To her surprise, she was able to communicate with it using Divine Sense.
The three of them were now in the center. Su Yuanyuan traded seven Vermilion Fruits for seven Shaping Fruits and seven branches.
At this distance, the cultivators ashore couldn’t detect their little maneuvers.
Qi Hong moved quickly, acquiring the Shaping Fruits and harvesting seven branches.
Su Yuanyuan, keeping her word, tossed out seven Vermilion Fruits, allowing their group to pass through.
On the way back, Qi Hong admired his mother, "Mom, you really managed that?"
"Just had to try. But I think it’s because not many cultivators come here."
"But the demon beasts have their nature, don’t they?"
Su Yuanyuan didn’t quite know how to explain it.
The three of them safely returned to the shore, and Qi Yan spoke up, "We can use a flying artifact to cross. As long as we don’t harm them, there shouldn’t be a problem."
Nangong Xingyun thought it over. They couldn’t be stopped here, especially after the mother and children had gone through earlier.
"Alright, everyone be careful. We’re just passing through. If anything happens on the way, do not react. The swamp is not like solid ground."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The family boarded the flying boat, taking the lead. Su Yuanyuan briefly spoke with Tan Shaoting.
The speed of the flying boat was quite slow. The Foundation Establishment cultivators following behind were struggling.
He thought to himself, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator without a flying artifact? Truly unimaginable.
The swamp was vast, but thanks to the guidance of the Sixth Rank Sawtooth Crocodile, they reached the opposite shore smoothly.
Su Yuanyuan found it amusing; the Saw-toothed Crocodile could be so stingy, actually hiding the Shaping Fruit Tree.
Once on the shore, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They each put away their flying artifacts. Tan Shaoting’s family wasn’t embarrassed about their low-grade flying boat.
Chen Xue Man sighed, "I have a flying artifact in my bracelet, crafted by a Ninth Grade Refiner found by my father. Now it’s yours, why not use it?"
"Senior, please spare me. With your flying artifact out, I doubt I’d have peace in my future.
And as for all the items in your storage bracelet, I need none, except I’ll inscribe the books and Jade Scrolls.
I believe you’ll be able to cultivate in the future too, so find a way for you to take them with you to reincarnation."
Chen Xue Man was deeply moved by Su Yuanyuan’s words. She also thought of how the other party had such extraordinary treasures, of course, she wouldn’t care for her storage bracelet. They continued on, with the three children focusing on collecting.
They could all recognize spirit plants, but none as sensitively as Qi Hong.
Nangong Xingyun walked beside Tan Shaoting, "Mr. Tan, your children are really remarkable, I am envious."
Tan Shaoting chuckled, "It’s their own effort. I don’t recognize as many spirit plants as they do."
Indeed, there was no one in the group who wasn’t envious; having a good relationship with an Alchemist could ensure smoother years ahead.
Although elixirs could be bought, special high-grade ones were not something they could easily procure.
Su Yuanyuan multi-tasked, chatting with Chen Xue Man, both feeling that they had become close friends.
Qi Hong sensed danger, and the couple quickly flew over.
It turned out there were three Bone Marrow Cleansing Grasses, guarded by a fifth-grade Fiery Flame Snake.
Tan Shaoting acted swiftly. Though they were of similar levels, his swordsmanship was superior, defeating the Fifth Rank Fiery Flame Snake in just a quarter of an hour.
Su Yuanyuan looked at the precious land scorched by the fire, realizing the destructive power of demon beasts.
The space had several Bone Marrow Cleansing Grasses, and they were older than these. So the family didn’t hoard these three stalks.
Nangong Xingyun was delighted at the sight of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grass. Now, at late-stage Foundation Establishment, he was planning to prepare for the Golden Core Stage upon returning.
He had two Wall-Breaking Pills and Golden Core Pills if swapping for Bone Marrow Cleansing Grass with Sixth Master; he’d be very pleased.
Tan Shaoting handed a Jade Box to Nangong Xingyun, and the group continued onward.
Many eyed the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grass jealously, planning to exchange for it during distribution.
More demon beasts appeared next, mostly of Fourth and Fifth Rank.
In such situations, they instinctively shielded Qi Hong and the three children.
Su Yuanyuan found it amusing, coming to understand the importance of an Alchemist here.
Her daughter should also have a special skill; she wondered what she might be interested in.
All the collected treasures were with Nangong Xingyun, and they had a fruitful day; the demon beasts in the secret realm were easier to deal with than outside.
Thus, their group harvested efficiently in the secret realm.
A month had passed; the gains were substantial. Nangong Xingyun muttered inwardly, this secret realm was too easy. Looking at the secret realm map in his hand, he felt he’d nearly covered the entire area.
Their team felt like they were strolling through a backyard, encountering many teams along the way, each in disarray with lost members, leaving Nangong Xingyun puzzled once more.
Could it be his extraordinary luck? But he knew himself, he had never been this fortunate since childhood.
As he watched his team, he concluded the luckiest one must be Su Yuanyuan. He didn’t know why he thought this.
The mountains were just ahead, a place presumably more dangerous, with formidable demon beasts.
As they were about to enter the mountains, they saw Nangong Liuyun’s group running out disheveled.
Su Yuanyuan squinted; seeing them here, it was nothing if they didn’t act, but otherwise, she wouldn’t let the detestable person walk away.
The brothers didn’t get along, but they still kept up appearances.
"Brother, the Thunder Tiger inside was too fierce, we lost four men."
Their team was now reduced to nine. Nangong Xingyun reaffirmed his belief that it was Su Yuanyuan’s good fortune allowing their smooth journey.
"You all quickly rest and reorganize, we’ll go inside and take a look."
Nangong Liuyun looked at their team, with no losses and still bright and polished, feeling deeply unbalanced.
