Chapter 217 - The Thief Who Stole the Spirit Herbs
Yun Chujiu cursed angrily, “Listen strange grass, if you continue to show off, I’ll cut open my stomach right now. I don’t believe that if I throw away my Dantian, I still won’t be able to get rid of you!”
The strange grass was stunned for a moment, then its two leaves drooped down and finally stopped.
Elder Qi saw Yun Chujiu’s small face and thought that she was afraid, thus, he comforted her. “As long as you strictly follow my instructions, I won’t mistreat you! Although you don’t have spiritual power, you can still live for a few more decades by taking some life-extending pills.”
Yun Chujiu came back to her senses and laughed dryly. “Elder Qi, I’ll definitely take good care of these herbs. Don’t worry!”
Elder Qi nodded and gave her a few more instructions. He handed Yun Chujiu a jade token before leaving.
After Elder Qi left, the strange grass in her Dantian started to act up again. It kept shouting that it wanted to eat those high-grade herbs.
Yun Chujiu sneakily looked around before walking to the most plentiful herb. She carefully tore off a leaf and wolfed it down.
The grass in her Dantian happily held the leaf and chewed it.
“This is the only time. It won’t happen again! Elder Qi knows the number of spirit herbs in this spirit herb garden...” Yun Chujiu said as her eyes lit up. There were a few high-grade herbs in the spirit herb garden, but there were no low-grade black grade herbs in the outer area.
There were herbs in there that could be used to refine spirit gathering pills. She might as well secretly put some into her storage ring every day. Then, when she reached the fifth level of spirit enhancement, she could refine spirit gathering pills! It just so happened that she could help fourth brother and the others with their cultivation.
Thus, Yun Chujiu secretly picked a few herbs every day and hid them in her storage ring. She knew very well that she could not just pick one leave, so she picked two leaves and one flower. In addition, Elder Qi did not pay much attention to these outer area spirit herbs. A month had passed and Yun Chujiu’s storage ring had already accumulated nearly two sacks of herbs. In order to prevent the strange grass in her Dantian from causing trouble, Yun Chujiu would swallow a bunch of super-grade blood coagulation pills before going to the herb garden. After the strange grass was full, its reaction would be less intense when it saw high-grade herbs again.
On this day, Yun Chujiu had just arrived at Elder Qi’s courtyard. His expression was solemn as he instructed Yun Chujiu, “The earth-grade, high quality Golden thread grass’ fruit in the spirit herb garden will ripen today. I have urgent matters to attend to, otherwise, I would personally take care of this. “You must guard it at all times. Once the fruit turns from red to purple, immediately put it into this jade box.”
Yun Chujiu nodded. “Elder Qi, don’t worry! I’ll guard it at all times!”
Elder Qi reminded her a few more times before he left in a hurry.
Yun Chujiu did not dare to be negligent. She took out a few pills from her storage ring and swallowed them to prevent the strange grass from causing trouble. Only then did she enter the spirit herb garden and find the Golden thread grass. She sat on the ground and stared intently at the its fruit.
Seeing that the red fruit was slowly turning purple, Yun Chujiu took out the jade box. Just as she was about to put the fruit into the jade box, the fruit mysteriously disappeared!
Yun Chujiu was stunned. What was going on?
“Hey! which shameless person stole the fruit? What kind of brave soul is hiding himself? If you have the ability to do this, get out here!” Yun Chujiu was trying her best to do her job. No thief would take the initiative to show up!
Unexpectedly, after Yun chujiu shouted, a deep and seductive voice said, “You’re quite brave. No wonder the immortal item recognized you as its master!”historical
