Except for being imprisoned by the magic circle, the Qianqiu Paradise is the same as the outside world. As the afterglow disappears, night falls.

In a towering dense forest somewhere, many big trees collapsed and were torn to pieces.

On the messy ground, two corpses of herb collectors lay, their flesh and blood mangled and their faces unrecognizable, as well as the remains of half a colorful tiger, without even its head.

When Gu Xuan and Jiang Feng came to the dense forest, they both had pale faces when they saw such a shocking battlefield.

After looking at the battlefield for a long time, Gu Xuan suddenly took out an empty storage bag, activated his true energy, and put away half of the tiger corpse.

Jiang Feng asked: "The colorful tiger is just an ordinary monster, and the body is not worth much. What does Brother Shu do with it?"

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Take it back and have a feast."

Jiang Feng laughed dumbly: "This move is very suitable to my liking."

Gu Xuan weighed down his storage bag and said, "If it hadn't been for a sudden decision, I would have captured a cowboy alive in the Lost Soul Valley."

"There are a lot of monsters here, Brother Shu has plenty of opportunities to take action."

Jiang Feng stretched out his hand and led the two of them towards the cave not far away.

This is the lair of the spotted tiger. They originally wanted to kill the spotted tiger and occupy the cave for the night, but now there is no need to do anything.

The cave is quite spacious and pitch black inside, but the two of them can see at night without being affected.

Jiang Feng sat cross-legged on the futon and took out a storage bag: "I have been collecting medicinal herbs today. Thanks to Brother Shu's help, it was so smooth. I hope you will accept the elixir inside."

The two futons were very close to each other. Gu Xuan glanced at the storage bag and said, "Brother Jiang's words are serious. It's okay to say that in Luohun Valley, over there in the Pink Miasma Forest, even if I didn't participate, Brother Jiang can still collect the living bacteria."

Jiang Feng said with a smile: "If Brother Shu hadn't gone with him and was intimidated by his fighting power, how could Shuanglili be so reasonable?"

Gu Xuan asked: "The elixir was sought by the Lucky Rat, and it is thought to be worth a lot of money."

Jiang Feng said loudly: "There are not many elixirs in it, it's worth half a spirit-summoning pill."

"That's 2,500 contribution points. The Lucky Rat is really amazing." Gu Xuan was a little surprised, "What are Brother Jiang's plans next?"

Jiang Feng didn't expect Gu Xuan to suddenly change the subject, and immediately replied: "According to the established plan, we will continue to collect herbs tomorrow, and will stay dormant the next day and not participate in the plunder."

"Brother Jiang, don't worry about the summoning elixir, you should save your life first. Even so, there will be many risks tomorrow. I don't have any valuables, so I will give Brother Jiang three false amulets and three amulets to urge the aggressor."

As he spoke, Gu Xuan approached his belt with one hand, and Wang Mang's telepathy quickly wrapped up six talismans from the storage bag.

Jiang Feng took the talisman, looked at it carefully, and even used his telekinesis: "What are the functions of the two talismans?"

After Gu Xuan briefly explained it, Jiang Feng was shocked and moved: "It's really unheard of that there are such strange talismans in the world."

When Yu Bing's treasure was divided up, Jiang Feng had seen the fake Gang Talisman, but he was not impressed by it and did not connect the two.

Gu Xuandao: "These two talismans can be used in conjunction with the Arrow of Void."

Jiang Feng quickly put away the talisman and sighed softly: "There is no doubt about the power of Xu Jin, but it requires the guidance of mind, which is not suitable for group battles at all."

Gu Xuan put away the storage bag and thought for a moment: "The transformed virtual energy needs the guidance of mind power, and the virtual energy cultivated by oneself should not be used."

"There is no relevant record in the scroll. Otherwise, I would practice the Void Spear and only fight against the enemy alone. Shooting a group of Void Arrows would be too much of a waste of Void Strength."

Jiang Feng shook his head in regret and took off a gray jade charm from his belt.

"This is the Tribulation Talisman. The secret talisman found by the Lucky Rat. Once crushed, it can activate gray light defense. Unfortunately, there are only three left, so we cannot give more."

"It's such a life-saving treasure. It's enough to have one in my body. Thank you Brother Jiang for the generous gift."

If it were any other treasure, Gu Xuan might have declined it politely, but he had seen the defense of the Tribulation Talisman in Guishan Grottoes, so he took it without hesitation and tied it on his belt.

Seeing Gu Xuan's serious treatment, Jiang Feng said with satisfaction: "I have read many biographies of herb collectors. On the first day of the grand ceremony, many warlike monsters would attack the herb collectors everywhere, and they would hide and lie dormant until the night of the first day.

"

Gu Xuan smiled: "If I were a monster here, I would hide in advance. The grand ceremony only happens once every twenty years. As long as I survive three days, why worry about not having a magical medicine?"

Jiang Feng nodded: "What Brother Shu said is true, but monsters are not human beings after all. They are more succumbed to the nature of blood."

…

The two of them took turns adjusting their breath.

Just after midnight, a series of tiny sounds suddenly came from the forest in the distance, like small animals walking on the ground.

Gu Xuan, who was keeping watch at night, quickly opened his eyes and planned to see what was going on.

Looking back, Jiang Feng closed his eyes tightly and was adjusting his breath. He was obviously very relieved about Gu Xuan's protection.

Without disturbing Jiang Feng, Gu Xuan stood up alone, walked to the entrance of the cave, swayed slightly, and suddenly disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Xuan quietly hid in the tree crown.

Although the night was dark and windy, one could still see a group of ground rats eating the corpses of herb collectors on the ground.

The flesh and blood of practitioners is a great supplement to ordinary beasts.

The burrowing rats were densely packed, there were hundreds of them, obviously they did not notice Gu Xuan's prying eyes, they were overjoyed and gnawed with relish.

Some gophers compete with each other for human flesh.

Gu Xuan felt relieved and was about to return to the cave when suddenly his brows moved and he looked at the gopher again.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xuan shook his body slightly, teleported to the ground, quickly reached out with his hands, and grabbed two burrowing rats each.

The body shook again, and Gu Xuan disappeared without a trace like a ghost.

The surrounding rats were frightened, and suddenly stopped eating. They looked around, but found nothing strange, so they continued to enjoy the delicious meal.

Until Gu Xuan returned to the cave, the captured burrowing rat was still showing its teeth and claws, screaming again and again.

Although it doesn't help, struggling to the death is the style of a rat.

Disturbed by the screams, Jiang Feng woke up from his trance, glanced around, and was surprised: "A ground rat?"

Gu Xuan sat down cross-legged and explained briefly: "This rat can block the talisman."

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing, with a strange look on his face: "Should I tell you that Brother Shu is smart, or that he has more clever ideas?"

Gu Xuan handed out two ground rats and smiled casually: "Although the talisman is scary, it is not irresistible. This rat is hidden in the big sleeve and will be of great use."

Jiang Feng took the gopher and looked at it carefully: "Brother Shu is as talented as I am."

Gu Xuan didn't respond. He approached the opening of the storage bag with one hand, and Wang Mang's telekinesis immediately wrapped a thin rope.

With a wave of the Yinliu Sword, the string was cut into two pieces, and the gophers were tied tightly one by one before they were satisfied and put into their arms.

Jiang Feng followed suit. After being tied up, the burrowing rat was hidden in his sleeves, so it could keep company with the lucky rat.

…

The night was spent peacefully.

At dawn, when Gu Xuan opened his eyes, Jiang Feng said: "Brother Shu, I have to rush to collect medicine, so I have to go first."

Gu Xuan smiled and nodded: "Brother Jiang, please be careful."

After Jiang Feng left, Gu Xuan was still sitting cross-legged on the futon: "Senior, should I go to Qingxu Lake immediately?"

Wang Mang responded: "Except for Qingxu Lake and the Secret Land, all other goals have been achieved. You can decide on your own."

Gu Xuan shook his head: "There are also potential purposes, such as Ximen Qing."

Wang Mang chuckled: "If you had the intention to kill Ximen Qing, you should have agreed to join hands with him to collect medicine. Only then did you make up your mind. You will definitely run around."

Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "This person's attitude is unclear. After all, he is a hidden danger."

Wang Mang was silent for a while: "If Ximen Fei takes the opportunity to deal with Ximen Hao, he will be the dominant one, which may not be a good thing. We might as well leave him a rival."

"Ginger is still spicier when old."

Gu Xuan smiled knowingly and then packed up the storage bag.

First take out the three storage bags stolen from Jianghu Warriors and transfer the treasures inside to the loot storage bags.

Then he took out the storage bag containing the elixir, and with a rush of strength, poured out all the jade boxes inside.

There were only a dozen jade boxes, so Gu Xuan opened them one by one and took a closer look at the elixirs.

Except for the five jade boxes containing crystal-armored crabs, there were several kinds of elixirs in the other jade boxes, and even Gu Xuan couldn't recognize them all.

Wang Mang said: "Jiang Feng is not lying, these elixirs are of high value."

The Crystal Crab is the same as an ordinary crab except that its carapace is as transparent as ice and its body is slightly larger.

The five Crystal Crabs have been killed, otherwise they cannot be stored in the storage bag.

Gu Xuan transferred all the crystal-armored crabs into the demon meat storage bag, and there was already half a colorful tiger corpse inside.

Gu Xuan put away the storage bag: "The imperial court changed the reward rules, which may be more difficult than before."

In this Dao Festival, 5,000 contribution points will be rewarded with a Spirit-Calling Pill.

The contribution value is calculated based on the total value of the elixirs delivered above. One contribution value is equal to one low-grade spiritual stone.

Wang Mang said: "In the past, there were three main medicines of the Spirit-Calling Pill, and one Spirit-Calling Pill was awarded as a reward. The competition was cruel, and too many people who picked the medicine died. Now the rules have been changed, and there is a lot more room for choice."

Gu Xuan stood up, stretched his waist, and smiled slightly: "I will go straight to Qingxu Lake, meet the herb collectors, and grab some storage bags."
