Chapter 231: Forest Trip 15
"roll."
Really, in front of your niece, don't you feel ashamed of yourself? Hearing Mu Qingyin's laughter, Kuang Zhifeng, who was not angry to begin with, couldn't help but glare at Kuang Zhihong with amusement: "Hurry up and pick someone. Don't wait until tomorrow morning when we separate and leave before you've picked someone."
The reason why he refused to let anyone follow his team before was actually because his team would not follow the others all the way to the border town of the Endless Forest.
On the second day, which is tomorrow, they will change their route and enter the Endless Forest directly from a hidden path.
"As you command."
Kuang Zhihong was not angry, but indulged himself. He deliberately imitated the subordinates and saluted Kuang Zhifeng, responding loudly, which made Kuang Zhifeng lose his temper.
Even Mu Qingyin was happier when she saw it, and felt that her little uncle was very interesting.
The next day, Kuang Zhihong led his men away, heading straight for the border town of the Endless Forest. Kuang Zhifeng still followed the original route and led his men into the Endless Forest.
As you enter the Boundless Forest, an extremely comfortable breath, so relaxing that you can clearly feel it with every breath, rushes into your mouth and nose.
The group immediately felt the difference between here and outside, and also felt that this place was much more dangerous than outside.
After all, the beasts that would leave here to wander outside and hunt were relatively weak. Seeing that they couldn't even find enough food to fill their stomachs at the edge of the Endless Forest, one could imagine the number of beasts in the Endless Forest and how ferocious they were.
However, all this could not pose much threat to Kuang Zhifeng and his group.
There were many of them, and without exception, they were all warriors. They were all warriors who had cultivated themselves through their own strength. Facing those beasts, they just treated them as a way to temper themselves, and they were not only fearless, but also full of energy and excitement.
Faced with such a group of humans who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, braver and more terrifying than the real beasts, the beasts who usually liked to pick on the weak were not stupid either. When they found that they were no match for them, they immediately tucked their tails and fled without even having time.
Therefore, Mu Qingyin, who did not like to stay in her own carriage but liked to wear men's clothes, ride a horse and run around outside at will, would often see guards and tribesmen around her who were somewhat decadent and listless.
"Ask what's going on?"
She was startled and asked Cai Lian, who was following her and whose cultivation had already reached the early stage of a low-level warrior.
Cai Lian did not go far, she just drove her horse back a step and came to the side of two secret guards who were also riding horses and had temporarily emerged from darkness and were following them day and night without blinking.
Soon, Cai Lian came to explain to Mu Qingyin: "My Lord, everyone is unhappy because they can't hunt any wild animals."
When Cai Lian heard what she had heard from the secret guards, that the wild beasts were avoiding their team, causing the guards to be in such a listless state of mind as they could neither practice nor have any wild animals to harvest, she herself started to laugh.
Mu Qingyin: "."
She was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh along with Cai Lian: "It turns out that it's not just humans who bully the weak and fear the strong, even animals are the same."
"Isn't it? I heard that when we first came into the Endless Forest, those beasts were very ferocious. They came in groups to besiege us."

Chapter 232: Forest Trip 16
Cai Lian said with her eyes wide open: "Master, do you think these beasts here are smarter than those outside? At least most of the beasts outside fight alone. Unlike here, they know how to huddle together."
"It's natural."
Mu Qingyin nodded: "There is spiritual energy in this boundless forest, even if it is only a meager amount. Those beasts don't know any cultivation techniques, and they don't know how to consciously cultivate. But as long as they stay here for a long time, they will become smarter and smarter, just like humans."
"No wonder?" Cai Lian suddenly realized.
She believed in her master from the bottom of her heart. Not to mention that what Mu Qingyin said made sense. Even if what Mu Qingyin said was unreasonable, Cai Lian would still blindly follow her and think that what she said was right. This had nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty.
Along the way, the group walked in the boundless forest like this, as if they were in an uninhabited place for five or six days. They stopped at the place they had agreed with Kuang Zhihong before, and the group set up camp and waited for a few more days.
At the beginning, Mu Qingyin was free and interested in searching for various medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs with everyone nearby.
Because of the spiritual energy, all the common medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs in the Wuya Forest grew exceptionally well. This made Mu Qingyin extremely happy.
Most of them were not in the medicine cabinet in his own mustard seed space, but there was a new bookcase in the mustard seed space, "Common Medicinal Materials Encyclopedia", "Pharmaceutical Preparation", etc. Comparing these books that specifically recorded common medicinal materials, Mu Qingyin searched for various common medicinal materials like digging for treasure, and he had a lot of fun digging.
But as the days passed, seeing that Kuang Zhihong had not come even after the agreed time, Kuang Zhifeng and Mu Qingyin began to become anxious. They couldn't eat or sleep well, and they had no thoughts at all.
Just when the two could no longer hold back and wanted to lead their men all the way to the border town of the Endless Forest, Kuang Zhihong finally appeared in front of them with his men.
Along with Kuang Zhihong, in addition to the two hundred guards he had taken away, there were two or three hundred men and women, ranging in age from infants to those in their thirties or forties. There were only a dozen warriors, most of whom were ordinary people, and a team of one or two hundred vehicles carrying goods.
Moreover, the direction Kuang Zhihong came from was not the direction he was supposed to go as agreed with the border town of Wuya Forest. Instead, he went in the same direction as Kuang Zhifeng and the others.
This means that Kuang Zhihong did not enter the Boundless Forest directly from the nearby border town. Instead, he went back to the place where he separated from Kuang Zhifeng and others, and entered the Boundless Forest from the same place as them.
"What are you doing?"
He looked at Kuang Zhihong with a headache. He was surprised that he had brought so many people, many of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled. Kuang Zhifeng frowned, and had the urge to beat him up.
After enduring for a long time, Kuang Zhifeng finally suppressed his temper and asked angrily, "I only asked you to find a few ordinary people to test the medicine, but you were so crazy that you brought so many people here. Have you completely forgotten what you are here for?"
"Ahem, how can that be possible?"
Kuang Zhihong laughed dryly at first, but he couldn't laugh anymore under Kuang Zhifeng's fierce and threatening gaze.
He shrugged his head nervously, not daring to look directly at Kuang Zhifeng, and said hesitantly: "I, don't I also feel pity for them?"
"Pathetic? There are so many pitiful people in this world. And do you know where you brought them to?"
Seeing that Kuang Zhihong dared to act pitiful in front of him, Kuang Zhifeng was so angry that he almost laughed, and asked directly: "Tell me, is there any place in the world more dangerous than this Endless Forest?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 233: Forest Trip 17
"No, no more." Kuang Zhihong was scolded so much that he even lowered his head and couldn't raise it up.
"You know it's dangerous here, but you still dare to bring them here? They actually dare to follow you? Haha, are you the one who is so brave or are they?"
"They all came here voluntarily, and I gave them all a heart-warming pill." Kuang Zhihong defended himself in a low voice, "Second brother, I really had no choice."
They had already taken the Zhongxin Pills. Did they really think that the Zhongxin Pills that the old man had kept for the two of them were worthless cabbages that could be wasted at will? Kuang Zhifeng looked at Kuang Zhihong with great disdain, and made Kuang Zhihong look embarrassed and guilty. Then he said, "Okay, then I'll listen to how you were forced to do so."
Although he was extremely angry, Kuang Zhifeng calmed down instead.
"The thing is, that day after I separated from you, we headed for the border town of the Endless Forest. The journey was relatively smooth. Once we entered the border town, people saw that we had a large number of people and were all warriors, so they didn't dare to provoke us until we started recruiting ordinary people."
Kuang Zhihong sighed as he spoke: "I really didn't expect that once I spread the news, there would be so many people coming. None of them wanted money, and they only asked for one thing, which was that they hoped we could escort their families to any border town in any country.
I thought about it and felt that this request was not difficult, so I agreed. Originally, I was planning to take people to Liangcheng, and I had planned it out. When the time comes, it won't be a big deal to enter the Boundless Forest from Liangcheng.
And with you guys as the vanguard, maybe the journey will be smoother. So I carefully selected fifty people and made appointments with them at the time and place.
I just didn't expect that when we arrived at the agreed time and place, many more people came. They looked so pitiful, begging and crying, and willing to give away most of their property just to take their families away with them."
Swallowing his saliva, Kuang Zhihong once again laughed dryly at Kuang Zhifeng and said, "You know me, I can't stand seeing pitiful people acting like that in front of me.
I thought that taking ten people would be the same as taking a hundred people, so I agreed out of pity."
Kuang Zhihong sighed deeply as he spoke: "I didn't think of really taking most of their money at that time. After all, they or their families risked their lives to get it back, and I would not be able to bear to take it all away, right?
So I just took 10 taels of silver from each person as a token of my appreciation, and I didn't count the children either, they were just a by-product. There were also some people who didn't have money and wanted to sell their own things, so I agreed to it.
But I didn't expect that when we were leading people to Liangcheng, only half a day's journey away from Liangcheng, we would encounter someone robbing the caravan. We showed up a little late, and there was no one alive in the caravan except for the goods. "
Kuang Zhihong's face showed anger: "How can I stand this with my hot temper? What's more, we all saw them committing the crime. If I don't punish them, won't it harm the people who followed me to Liangcheng?
So I naturally went up and wiped out those criminals. Anyway, the guards of the caravan had fought desperately with those robbers in self-defense, and there were only a few robbers left.
As a result, before I could make any move, those people saw that we were in large numbers and in order to save their lives, they all said that they were sent by the Lord of Liangcheng. Some of them had already gone back to ask for reinforcements. If we didn't let them go, we wouldn't be able to enter Liangcheng even if we had a large number of people and goods. "
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 234: Forest Trip 18
Kuang Zhihong had a strange look on his face: "I didn't think much about it at the time. I didn't plan to go to Liangcheng anyway, so their words really didn't threaten me.
I originally thought that we should carry the goods in batches, taking as much as we can. If we can't carry them, we can just give them up. But when I looked at it--"
He paused, took out two jade boxes from his arms and handed them to Kuang Zhifeng: "Do you know what's in these two?"
"What is it?" Could it be redthorn grass? Kuang Zhifeng took the jade box and opened one of them. He saw that it was indeed redthorn grass. It was not a single plant, but a full box. It looked like there were at least five or six plants.
He raised his eyebrows and opened another jade box without much surprise. As soon as the box was opened, his pupils dilated sharply, his breathing quickened, and he suddenly closed the jade box to look at Kuang Zhihong.
It is said that money can move people's hearts, but if they are not tempted, it is because the temptation is not enough.
Even though Kuang Zhifeng considered himself to be a calm person, it was impossible for him to remain calm when facing this box of monster inner cores.
You have to know that the inner elixir of the monster is more than ten times more precious than the red thorn grass. Even immortals need it. It is a treasure that can be exchanged with immortals for things.
However, now they have Qingyin. The elixirs refined by Qingyin are no worse than those obtained from the immortals. But even so, Kuang Zhihong still couldn't help being tempted.
"Are you tempted?"
Kuang Zhihong looked at Kuang Zhifeng helplessly and said, "I have seen the cargo list. In addition to various high-quality furs, most of the goods on those trucks are furs and dried meats of various monsters, as well as a small amount of other things. The most abundant are the red thorn grass and the monster's inner pills, each of which has hundreds of boxes.
You said that if something like this fell into my hands, I could still remain indifferent and only take what I can take away as planned before, and give up the rest?"
He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Since I have accepted the goods, I naturally can't go to Liangcheng again. At least I can't go there with these goods in a swagger.
So I told those people that I could send someone else to escort them to Liangcheng. But they all changed their minds without exception, and no one was willing to leave. They all said that they were afraid that the mayor of Liangcheng would be angry with them after they arrived in Liangcheng. "
"."
Kuang Zhifeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, understanding the hidden meaning of Kuang Zhihong's words. Aren't those people afraid of the wrath of the Lord of Liangcheng? They are more afraid of being silenced by Kuang Zhihong immediately.
Moreover, no matter whether it was the owner of the lost goods or the lord of Liangcheng who was robbed, no one would let such a huge fortune go and would definitely investigate the matter vigorously.
No matter how thoroughly Kuang Zhihong cleaned up the mess when he left.
However, the disappearance of their entire group of people was the biggest flaw in the eyes of those who were interested. So it was really not appropriate to let the people he brought with him leave.
If he left, firstly, he was afraid that he would be found sooner or later and be angry with; secondly, he was afraid that people would ask him about the appearance characteristics of Kuang Zhihong and others.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Kuang Zhifeng knew that Kuang Zhihong was not to blame for this. If he encountered the same situation, as long as he could not bring himself to kill everyone, he would have to make the same choice and turn them into his own people.
"Forget it. With more people, more people can test the drugs." In this situation, Kuang Zhifeng didn't know what else to say except this. "Take a break. We've been delayed long enough. Let's set off again tomorrow."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 235: Forest Trip 19
"Okay. I'll send these to Qingyin. I heard that the inner core of monsters can also be used to make medicine and pills. I wonder if she can use them?"
Nodding, holding the two jade boxes that he had returned from Kuang Zhifeng, Kuang Zhihong smiled and went to find Mu Qingyin eagerly.
"Is this the inner elixir of a demon beast?"
As soon as Mu Qingyin opened the jade box containing the demon beast's inner elixir that Kuang Zhihong brought, the first thing she felt was a surge of energy, and then she realized that something seemed to be stirring in her mustard seed space.
An extremely strong and longing voice of "I want to eat, send it in quickly" was vibrating in her sea of consciousness, urging her to quickly send the inner elixir into the space - this unprecedented situation made Mu Qingyin stunned for a moment.
Seeing her staring blankly at the opened demon beast's inner core, Kuang Zhihong thought she was stunned by joy, and couldn't help but chuckle: "I brought back several hundred boxes of these two things. If you can use them, they are all yours. Haha, Third Uncle, have someone move some to your carriage first, and you can ask someone to get the rest if you want them, how about that?"
"Okay, thank you, Third Uncle." Mu Qingyin gently closed the jade box in her hand, resisted the urge to immediately put the monster's inner core into the space and smiled at Kuang Zhihong.
"Well, what else can a family say thank you for?"
Seeing that Mu Qingyin's inner elixir of the monster could indeed be used, she didn't bother to be polite and said that Kuang Zhihong was overjoyed and took out a booklet from his arms like he was presenting a treasure.
"These are the lists of goods on the truck. Take whatever you like and ask them to take it. I'll leave this booklet with you. You can take your time to choose."
After laughing a few times, Kuang Zhihong waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite to Third Uncle. He will be happier if you take everything. If you dare to be polite and don't want this or that, Third Uncle will be angry."
As he spoke, he tried his best to put on an angry face and showed it to Mu Qingyin: "See? Don't make Third Uncle angry."
"Puff."
Kuang Zhihong's deliberately weird look amused Mu Qingyin.
Seeing her smile, Kuang Zhifeng, who had also walked over, couldn't help but smile as well. Then he glanced at Kuang Zhihong with a half-smile, and said to Mu Qingyin, "You should give your third uncle some face and accept all those things with reluctance."
"Uncle 2 and Uncle 3, there are so many things that I can't use up even if I collect them all."
Mu Qingyin laughed even more happily: "Don't worry, we are a family, I won't be polite to you. I can indeed use the inner elixirs and red thorn grass of those monsters, so give them all to me.
As for the other things, the furs of those monsters, especially the fur of the fire rabbit, the grandmother had mentioned it before.
Well, you guys can distribute those furs. I really don't want too much. It would be a waste if I couldn't use them all. Just pick the right ones and give me some. "
"Okay, the things are all there. Whenever you need something, just ask someone to get it." Kuang Zhifeng nodded.
"Um."
Mu Qingyin agreed. In her heart, she was still thinking about the voice coming from her mustard seed space, which was eager for the inner elixir of the monster.
She said to Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong, "Second uncle and third uncle, I will try to purify the red thorn grass first. I will also see how to use the inner elixir of this monster."
"Go ahead."
"Go ahead. There are so many people here now. Once you have tested the drug, there will be no shortage of people to try it on."
Seeing Mu Qingyin's urgency, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong did not doubt it and nodded quickly. Why would they keep her any longer and continue to talk to her about all sorts of things?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 236: Forest Trip 20
Mu Qingyin smiled sweetly and returned to her tent. After the monster's inner elixir and red thorn grass were delivered, she asked everyone to leave. She also gave special instructions that as long as she did not go out and not be disturbed, they would be fine.
Even if Mu Qingyin didn't tell them, no one would dare to disturb her. But she told them so carefully, and everyone became more cautious and nodded in agreement.
He returned to the tent and sat down with peace of mind, took out a box of monster's inner elixir, opened it, and sent the monster's inner elixir directly into the mustard seed space.
As the monster's inner elixir entered the mustard seed space, Mu Qingyin's consciousness followed in, only to see that the monster's inner elixir disappeared almost instantly.
She didn't have time to be surprised, and almost at the same time she felt a joyful urging voice coming from her sea of consciousness: "Eat more, eat more."
Mu Qingyin: "."
Was the inner core of this demon beast swallowed by the space? Space could actually swallow the inner core of a demon beast? Could it be that her mustard seed space was alive? If the space could swallow the inner core of a demon beast, could it also swallow her in the future? This thought was too scary. Mu Qingyin was so scared that she broke into a cold sweat.
"Master, you are really good at scaring yourself. I am an ancient divine weapon. Even if it is an ancient magic weapon, I have never heard of one that can devour the master."
Just when Mu Qingyin was quite frightened, a much clearer voice, with an obviously childish tone, came from her sea of consciousness.
"Are you this mustard seed space? Are you an ancient artifact? How did you appear and recognize me as your master? You can also know my thoughts, then... then, I am in the space."
When she heard that the mustard seed space would not devour her, Mu Qingyin first calmed down. After she calmed down, she immediately thought about it, thinking about her thoughts being spied on, and thinking about the bathtub that appeared in the mustard seed space.
She had used that thing so many times that her face suddenly darkened.
"Master, I am indeed an ancient divine weapon. Only magical weapons above the immortal level have the chance to produce weapon spirits. Although I am the weapon spirit, you are the master.
So you are in the space, unless you summon me, I can't sense anything you do. Even your thoughts, if you don't want me to know, as long as you have a thought, I can't see or hear anything. "
The childish voice soon sounded again, first dispelling Mu Qingyin's doubts, and then said with a bit of grievance: "As for how I recognized you as my master, it was also a coincidence.
"I was too damaged at the time, and your spiritual roots were more suitable, so I chose to recognize you as my master. But who knew that you would die in a catastrophe at that time? If I hadn't recognized your soul as my master in time, and used up the remaining energy to tear open the cracks in time and space, and protect your soul back to the past, we would both be doomed."
The voice sounded extremely depressed.
How could it not be depressed? Originally, Mu Qingyin was an ordinary person with almost no power. If it had not been at the end of its rope, it would not have thought of temporarily recognizing its master and taking a breath.
Although it actually had two choices at the time, the other one... Alas, neither of them was the right person in its mind. Compared with Mu Qingyin, it felt that the other one was not so easy to mess with. If it got entangled with him, it would be difficult for it to get away when he recovered.
That's right, it had already thought of a way to retreat before it even recognized its master.
I went to the hospital for an outpatient checkup, but the checkup was scheduled until 8 or 9 in the evening, and I still have to wait for several hours. I think I still have to wait for the checkup report and make another appointment for the doctor's office next week. Suddenly I felt relieved after seeing the doctor, and I can bear the discomfort now. I'll come back to update.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 237 Forest Trip 21
It had it all planned out. Although choosing Mu Qingyin was a bit troublesome, it also had to find a way to make her deeply feel the importance of cultivation before it could coax her into practicing and provide itself with spiritual energy.
But Mu Qingyin is so easy to fool.
It didn't just want to use Mu Qingyin unilaterally, it just wanted to benefit both of them. After all, with its guidance and the skills it provided, not only would Mu Qingyin's life span be extended by at least a hundred years, but even her children and grandchildren would benefit as well.
After all, the skills provided by this divine weapon are not ordinary ones.
In this way, Mu Qingyin benefited, and it also got a chance to breathe and recover. When she died in the future, it would be able to break away from her and regain its freedom.
By that time, it would have enough energy to choose a more suitable master. There will always be a day to return to the divine world. Unfortunately, imagination is always beautiful, but reality is cruel. What it never expected was that Mu Qingyin would be short-lived.
The situation at that time was already critical. Once it was separated from Mu Qingyin, even if there was a ready-made person nearby who could temporarily recognize it as the master, its energy would still not be enough to support it to change masters.
If it were to separate from Mu Qingyin, the only outcome would be that it would fall into a deep sleep that would last who knows how many tens of thousands of years.
So, it didn't even have time to think about it at that time, and it immediately recognized Mu Qingyin as its master with its soul.
There are two kinds of master recognition, one is just ordinary master recognition, and the other is soul recognition. Once the soul recognizes the master, it will be tied to Mu Qingyin from then on. If her soul disappears, it will also disappear completely.
Thinking that he would never be able to get rid of Mu Qingyin in the future, no matter how many reincarnations they went through, no matter how many tens of millions of years they would be in the same boat, that childish voice wanted to sigh again.
"It turned out that you were the one who saved me and sent me back."
Mu Qingyin didn't hear the inner thoughts of the childish voice, but she suddenly realized the origin of her mustard seed space. It turned out that it was it that saved her, not only giving her a chance to start over, but also giving her such a magical space. She immediately had a very good impression of the childish voice.
Just when Mu Qingyin wanted to ask what the so-called coincidence was, before she could ask, the childish voice spoke again anxiously: "Master, I still want the inner elixir of the monster.
That can provide me with energy. Although all the ones in your hand are not enough for me, with them I can expand the space a little more."
It urged in a soft voice: "Master, hurry up, you don't need to take out the inner cores of those monsters, just put all the jade boxes into the space."
Seeing the urgency of the childish voice, Mu Qingyin's heart softened and she did as it wished. With a thought, she collected all the boxes containing the jade boxes of the monster's inner elixir in the tent into the space.
Feeling that the demon beast inner core in those jade boxes disappeared almost the moment they entered the space, Mu Qingyin let out a sigh of satisfaction and joy. That sigh made Mu Qingyin smile.
She took out the box with only an empty jade box in it from the space, walked out of the tent and asked someone to bring all the other boxes containing the monster's inner core.
Soon, all the boxes containing the remaining demon beast inner cores were delivered. Mu Qingyin put them all into the space as usual, and then marked the boxes with only empty jade boxes left, and sealed them before letting them be carried away. Then she asked people to bring all the boxes containing red thorn grass.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 238: Forest Trip 22
After only the box containing redthorn grass was left in the tent, Mu Qingyin asked them to leave, but she did not forget to instruct them not to let anyone in easily.
After doing all this, Mu Qingyin asked in her mind when she was alone: "Do you only need the inner elixir of the monster? Can you absorb other things?"
"Of course, I can absorb anything that has spiritual energy and vitality. In fact, compared to the inner elixir of monsters, spiritual stones are more comfortable to absorb.
Unfortunately, with the master's current level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to get spiritual stones. Even if he can get them in the future, he will need them in a short period of time."
Now that the soul has recognized its master, the master's needs naturally come first.
Unless it can find a spiritual vein or spiritual stone mine with abundant spiritual energy, and if there is no shortage of spiritual stones and the owner is willing, it will be possible for it to absorb the spiritual energy to its heart's content.
But considering the master's spiritual talent, it is unknown how long it will take to wait until that time comes.
Smacking his lips, the childish voice sighed in a mature manner: "Master, I can't waste any more energy talking to you. When I absorb all the energy contained in the inner core of all the monsters and the space expands, you will be able to see the library yourself. You can read more of the jade slips inside and learn more."
"Wait, don't leave yet. Can you show up and let me see what you look like? Also, do you have a name?" Mu Qingyin became anxious when she heard the childish voice saying that they were leaving. She still had a lot of questions that needed answers.
"Master, please call me Xiaobao. I don't have enough energy to condense into a physical body right now. After absorbing all the demon beasts' inner cores, I will continue to sleep. Master, please don't wake me up easily. I will appear naturally when I can."
"Xiaobao, how much energy do you need to fully recover?" Mu Qingyin was curious.
"...many, many, many, many, many, so many, so many, that even if you knew, you would rather not know."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Bao sighed and said, "Master, even if I absorb the energy of the entire planet of Qingcang Continent, it is still not enough.
This is just a world of cultivation. Both the true energy and the spiritual energy level here are too low. If you want me to condense a physical entity, I may need to wait until the master ascends to the fairyland.
Only when I go to the fairyland and have the nourishment of fairy spirit and your fairy energy can I condense into a physical body and truly wake up for a long time."
"."
Mu Qingyin was stunned. The energy of the entire planet of Qingcang Continent was not enough. How much energy was needed? Was her mustard seed space a bottomless pit? "Master, if you have any questions, please ask me later. I have to go refine the energy first." Xiaobao yawned and said nothing after that.
".good."
After coming to her senses after the shock, Mu Qingyin became more interested and curious about what Xiaobao said about planets, immortal energy, true energy and ascension, which were completely unfamiliar words to her.
But Mu Qingyin could clearly sense that Xiaobao was eager to absorb the energy, so she had to temporarily put aside all her doubts. Forget it, wouldn't there be a library when the space is expanded? Since it is a library, there must be jade slips that can answer her questions, right?
"By the way, the space needs to be temporarily closed for at least twenty-four hours. If the master needs anything, he can take it out and put it in the Qiankun bag." Before disappearing, Xiaobao suddenly remembered something and reminded.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 239: Forest Trip 23
"Okay." Mu Qingyin took out many jade slips, books, thumb-sized empty jade bottles, medicine cauldrons, flints, and some food and water from the space and put them into the Qiankun bag and said, "These are enough."
Her consciousness exited the space, and immediately found that she could no longer contact the space.
Having been prepared, Mu Qingyin did not panic. She took out the red thorn grass and began to concentrate on extracting its essence.
The first step in refining the elixir is to extract and purify the herbs. It has been done thousands of times, so it is naturally not difficult for Mu Qingyin.
She didn't even extract the essence of the red thorn grass one by one, but directly extracted five or six herbs together in a whole jade box.
There are too many impurities in red thorn grass. Even if the essence extracted from five or six plants is combined, it is only enough to fill a small jade bottle the size of an adult's thumb.
Mu Qingyin did not despise it, and patiently refined the jade boxes one by one. When she was tired, she would meditate and practice, and when she recovered, she would continue to refine. Her speed was not slow, and when the sky got bright the next day, hundreds of jade boxes containing red thorn grass had been emptied without her noticing.
After a long sigh, Mu Qingyin put all the empty jade boxes back into the box. This time she did not seal the box, but had someone carry it away and put it back on the carriage.
After breakfast, the team set off and walked for a distance. Mu Qingyin estimated that Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong should be almost done with their work, so she went to meet them with a jade bottle containing a purse of red thorn herb liquid.
"You extracted all the redthorn grass in one night?"
The lights in Mu Qingyin's tent were on all night, and the aroma of medicine continued to waft out from inside. Both Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong were very clear about this.
Because Mu Qingyin's safety was the most important, her tent was not only in the safest place, but also had the strictest security around it. But even so, the two of them were still worried and had personally visited her tent several times to check on the patrol situation.
"Yes." Mu Qingyin said with a smile and took out a small jade bottle, "I have extracted all the red thorn grass, so this bottle is just enough to fill up a jade box of red thorn grass.
But I didn't bring all of it, just a small part of it. You can start testing the medicine. First, find a few people to try the effect of taking the liquid medicine directly, and the rest are not in a hurry, wait for me to see if I can use it to make pills.
After all, no matter what kind of herbs they are, the effect of refining them into pills will be much stronger than taking these liquid medicines directly."
"Okay. There's no rush for the alchemy. You've been tired for a whole night. You should hurry back to the carriage and have a good rest."
I didn't expect Mu Qingyin to be so fast and work so hard. It only took her one night to extract all the red thorn grass.
Suddenly, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong looked at her with disapproval in their eyes, but neither of them blamed her. They just told her to go and rest in unison.
Knowing that the two were concerned about her, Mu Qingyin did not reject their kindness. She did not say anything about the fact that she had replaced rest with cultivation when refining the liquid medicine. She just nodded and left as she was told.
Back in her own carriage, Mu Qingyin was in high spirits and had no intention of resting. However, the mustard seed space could no longer sense her. Even if she wanted to try to make an elixir right away, she could not. She could only calm down and start flipping through the books.

Chapter 240: Forest Trip 24
As they went deeper and deeper into the Endless Forest, the carriages and horses gradually became less useful and unusable. Even if someone specially cleared the way in front of them, it still didn't work.
This is not just a problem because even if more people were added to lead the way, the journey would become increasingly difficult.
More importantly, if they continued to forcibly use carriages and horses, even if they could clear the traces of carriages and horses along the way, the felled trees would never be restored.
If someone wanted to follow them, wouldn't it be easy to expose their destination?
In addition to these reasons, there were more monsters on the road. The horses would often be frightened and stop when they saw more ordinary wild beasts surrounding them, not to mention encountering monsters. Fortunately, the people from the Kuang family who had entered the Boundless Forest to look for the secret place had taken this into consideration.
To this end, they specially found a not-so-small canyon in the Endless Forest. After clearing out all the wild beasts and monsters in the canyon, they named this place "Cangma Valley".
As the name suggests, "Horse Valley" is a place specifically used to hide horses and vehicles.
Even though they had cleared out all the wild beasts and monsters in the "Horse Hidden Valley", in order to prevent them from entering the canyon again after they left and hunting the horses inside that had almost no power to resist as prey, they would be left with no horses to use when they returned.
In order to prevent other people from entering and taking away the horses and carriages, the immortals and clansmen of the Kuang family took great pains to move rocks and trees, and set up a maze and illusion array outside the canyon.
The place that Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong agreed to meet after they separated was also the place where Kuang Zhifeng, Mu Qingyin and others had been waiting for Kuang Zhihong. It was less than two days' journey from Cangma Valley.
The person who left the map in the Kuang family was so thoughtful. What he left was not just a simple map, but a very detailed note, even recording which beasts and monsters were in the area, and where they harvested more spiritual herbs and medicines, for future generations to refer to.
Regardless of whether many years have passed and the information recorded by the Kuang family is no longer useful, the meticulousness of the ancestors towards the younger generations is still touching.
In view of this, Kuang Zhifeng and others followed suit and specially asked someone to make detailed records along the way to leave for future generations.
Two days later, they finally arrived at Zangma Valley. Kuang Zhifeng, Kuang Zhihong and their men followed the instructions on the map and entered the valley very smoothly.
Once they entered the Tibetan Horse Valley, they were surprised to find that the valley was quite large, with abundant grass and water and many horses. Everyone was surprised to see this, except for Kuang Zhifeng, Kuang Zhihong and Mu Qingyin, who had known the inside story for a long time.
The reason for this situation is actually very simple. When the Kuang family came here, they lost a large number of people, so they could not take away all the horses and vehicles when they left.
After all these years, the horses that stayed behind back then inevitably reproduced and thrived here.
This place is in the Endless Forest, a place with a little spiritual energy. The canyon has been thoroughly cleaned, and there is a formation at the entrance so that the wild beasts and monsters in the Endless Forest cannot get in.
In such a place with no worries inside and outside, and abundant water and grass, how could there be more horses here after all these years? Compared with the horses, the carriages that the Kuang family left behind and did not take away, even if they were stored in the cave, have long been rotten and can no longer be used.
They were useless and took up space, so Kuang Zhifeng simply asked people to clear them out and chop them up for firewood.
"Pass the order down. When the carriage is parked, untie the reins of all the horses and let them go."
