Chapter 519: Natural Resources and Treasures at the Bottom of the Valley

"Master, this honor is rare in the capital city, no, even in Northern Xuanzhou."

When Zuo Lu and Lan Chengxiu learned about the reward for being summoned by the Lord, their faces flushed with excitement.

There are tens of thousands of warriors in the city, and even if they spend their entire lives, they may not be qualified to meet the Lord of the City.

However, Zhou You was personally received by the Lord of the Mansion, who rewarded him according to his merits. This made him famous in the eyes of the Lord of the Mansion, and his future was bright.

Not to mention...

During the three days of listening to the lectures of my husband, in addition to gaining some knowledge in boxing and martial arts, I nominally had a "master and disciple" relationship with the husband, which was like a talisman and a golden medal of immunity from death.

Zhou You found that he had still underestimated the warriors' respect for the Lord of the Mansion.

In this age when martial saints have not appeared in the world, the Grandmaster is undoubtedly a being regarded as a god by all martial artists.

Especially for a folk martial artist like Zhou You, as long as he can establish a relationship with the Lord of the Mansion, he will be qualified to be recorded in the genealogy of the martial arts school and passed on to future generations to show off.

Lan Chengxiu patted his chest and said, "Master, after returning to the martial arts hall, I will immediately assist Senior Brother Qi in opening the ceremony, requesting the hall manual, burning incense and worshiping, and recording this matter."

After this incident, the level of Daqian Martial Arts School has been greatly improved. Although it is still not as good as Overlord Martial Arts School, it has stood out among many martial arts schools.

"I heard that Cao Wudang of Weinan City has made great contributions this time, so the noble families in the city decided to collectively build a tripod for him and give it to his martial arts school."

"Cao Wudang's martial arts school may become the second martial arts school in this prefecture."

Which one is the first one? Overlord Martial Arts School.

After the war, both sides evacuated the battlefield. They came with neat and tight troops, but they didn't care about these when they left.

Many people left the team one after another and quickened their pace to return, obviously to deal with some urgent matters.

Overlord Martial Arts School is the most anxious. After Yanshan breaks through Qiangwu, they want to hold a grand ceremony to announce it to all directions and invite guests from all walks of life.

Therefore, the little tyrant Yanshan went back early with a group of people.

Yanshan had left a long time ago. As a strong man, not a babysitter, it was impossible for him to lead the team back.

Zhou You and his group were not in a hurry. They traveled with Qin Lie and other martial arts masters at a leisurely pace.

"..."

In the desolate wilderness, a vast rift stretches between heaven and earth.

This was the place where Zhou You rescued Zuo Lu and others. After he left with a few people, this place fell into peace.

Zizizi, the vibration sound caused by high-frequency tremors.

A huge snake meandered along the cracks in the rocks and underground caves to the edge of the rift.

It raised its upper body, and the seal character "御" flashed in its eyes.

That’s right, this big snake is the one in Chongguang City. It has been lurking in the damp and dark place underground. It came here on a long journey on official business.

The giant snake stuck to the steep cliff of the rift valley, its smooth scales on its body creating ripples as it meandered and undulated. The soil clods were shattered and rocks emitted sparks as it rolled over, and it dived several hundred meters deep in one breath.

The deeper we went, the snake's body gradually disappeared into the darkness at the bottom of the valley.

Although Zhou You was thousands of miles away from the giant snake, he connected with its sight through the power of seal characters and observed the surrounding scenery.

The underground environment is very different from that on the surface. There is water and living things, forming a closed and circular ecological environment.

Especially in the cave platforms deep underground, there are often furry unknown creatures curled up in the lightless shadows. Soon, the big snake passed the depth where Zuo Lu and others were trapped and dived further into the depths.

Guludu!
Entering the underground water layer, the big snake was very adapted to this environment and did not get lost, passing through the water layer in no time.

The reason why Zhou You was sure that there was another world at the bottom of the valley was because when he was rescuing people that day, he felt a breeze blowing from below and even saw a vague footprint in the mezzanine, which had formed a fossil after a long period of time.

In other words, there were living people in the valley bottom, which led to the snake's journey to explore the underground world.

The snake slithered through the underground water layer, shaking its scales and splashing large drops of water into the dark environment.

It was suddenly stunned. There was a slightly sweet smell in the air, which aroused its urge to eat.

This is an independent underground cave, formed by the erosion of flowing water, and the ground above is covered with crisscrossing stalagmites.

The cave is well ventilated and well watered. Although there is no sunlight, it is not dark.

In addition to the moisture in the air, there was a slightly sweet aroma everywhere that made the snake salivate. The source was the grass on the ground that spread like a carpet.

To be precise, it is moss. Because it grows so long, it looks like thriving weeds swaying in the wind.

In these mosses grow red fruits like strawberries, which emit a slightly sweet fragrance.

For a moment, the big snake was tempted so much that it almost broke free from the seal characters and rushed to eat the fruit regardless of anything.

"Could it be..."

Zhou You thought of the white mushrooms in the big crane's nest. Could it be that these fruits were also treasures from heaven and earth?
Suddenly I thought of a fruit described in words in the Medicine King Classic that meets the characteristics of these fruits.

"Blood pearls avoid light and love water. They grow in the abyss deep underground. They melt when exposed to light. After being picked, they must be soaked in potion before they can be brought back to the sunlight."

Zhou You ordered the big snake to eat one, taste it and confirm whether it was a bloody pearl.

Sure enough, the flavor detected by the snake's taste buds was exactly the bloody pearl recorded in the Medicine King Classic.

Zhou You heaved a sigh of relief, then slowly, filled with excitement. He already knew that the food for a strong warrior should be mainly natural treasures. The white mushrooms on hand were slightly insufficient, and they were not enough to feed the puppet 'Ancient'.

After finding this bloody pearl deep underground and confirming it was correct, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The puppet 'Ancient' is in a pseudo-strong state. It does not consume energy during sleep on weekdays, but once it wants to take action, it must eat natural treasures, otherwise its realm will drop immediately.

"Let's prepare the potion for the bloody pearl after we return to the capital."

Zhou You decided to let the big snake stay deep in the rift to guard the medicinal field with bloody pearls.

There are numerous fruits in the grass, some ripe, some still green, and even flowers that have not yet withered.

As you can imagine, this is a field that can produce fruit sustainably, which is very precious.

The big snake didn't care where he lived, but when faced with so many bloody pearls, he was like a hungry wolf in a sheepfold. It was impossible for him to behave like a sheepdog.

Zhou You thought about it and decided that forcibly suppressing its urge to eat was against its nature and not in line with the essence of "control".

After some bargaining, it was decided that the snake would be fed with a blood-dripping pearl every month and ordered to guard the place.

There are hundreds of mature blood pearls in this underground cave, and they will bear fruit and mature one after another. The number is so huge that the reward given to the big snake is just a drop in the bucket at best.

Zhou You is now in the wild. Only after returning to the city and preparing the potion, he can enter the rift to collect drops of blood pearls. After processing, he can bring them out of the ground and preserve them for a long time when exposed to light.

With the support of the Yaowang Sect, Hua Youxing will definitely be able to tap the maximum potential of the Bleeding Pearl.
