Chapter 531: Underground Herb Picking, Nameless Corpse
"call!"

Zhou You put down what he was doing and stretched lazily towards the sun.

This period of time kept him so busy that he was not able to take care of the rest. He spent the whole day either refining medicine or strengthening weapons.

But being so busy also has its rewards!

A silver-grey short stick was shining brightly. It was made by fusing the remains of four little ghosts. It was a ghost treasure made of real gold and silver.

After dancing a few times, the short stick broke through the air with a solid sound, was comfortable to hold, and moved smoothly.

This item has been baptized by his intermediate martial artist's blood and qi, and has unlimited potential. Qi Qingdi can continue to use it when he upgrades to a martial artist in the future.

Qi Qingdi's main weapon technique is the short stick, and this magical weapon was specially made for him.

Zhou You put the short stick away first. Qi Qingdi had been in seclusion recently practicing boxing and weapons, so he would give it to him after he came out.

On the table next to it, there was a bottle of pills and a round bowl of liquid.

The former is the Silver Tide Whale Devouring Pill. Although Qi Fengzi can refine it, Zhou You still wants to try whether his alchemy skills can match the current level.

Facts have proved that although he has put this skill aside for a long time, with the help of the panel, his skills have not declined but improved rapidly.

This secret medicine was made casually, and most of his energy was focused on the bowl of liquid, the purpose of which was to prepare the bloody pearl.

The Blood Pearl is a very unique treasure from heaven. It grows in underground spaces that are never exposed to sunlight. It immediately turns into smoke when exposed to sunlight, so it must be soaked in special potions before being brought back to the surface.

After Zhou You successfully prepared the potion, he calculated the time and found that there were still some days before the Lord's lecture, so he could go to the underground cave to collect fruits first.

The Lord of the Mansion is very busy and needs to find time to redeem the reward.

The ones in front of the queue are Yanshan and Cao Wudang. They have been waiting the longest and are still waiting until the Lord has time.

After they finish, you won’t be able to get a chance to travel with them immediately, you will have to wait for a while.

While he had time, Zhou You decided to go to the underground space and collect bloody pearls.

He was well prepared and told Zuo Twelve and others that he would be away for a few days and that the affairs of the martial arts school would continue to operate as usual. If someone came to challenge the school or cause trouble, if Zuo and Lan were defeated, they should just stay indoors and wait for him to come back to deal with it personally.

After explaining everything, Zhou You waited until late at night, came to the edge of the city wall alone, pointed with his palm, and said, "Detain!"

The seal character '拘' can also be used on oneself, and can be sent to a designated location.

When he was in the underground cave, Zhou You had already buried the teleportation target for today.

Swish!
The wind from all directions wrapped around him layer by layer, enveloping him in three layers inside and three layers outside. The noises from all directions gradually faded away.

next moment……

Zhou You was pushed out into the whistling air wave like he was riding a rocket. His speed exceeded the limit of his realm, exceeding the speed of sound, and even reached 2-3 times the speed of sound.

The most intuitive feeling was that when he just started, he was punched in the face by the air and his nose was sore.

With his intermediate martial artist's body, exposed to this speed, even if it was extremely hard and flexible, the huge pressure brought by the extreme speed would destroy the fixed shape of his skin, flesh and bones, and he would be kneaded into a pile of rotten meat like plasticine.

However, the power of seal script is quite magical.

Zhou You was surrounded by a breeze that accelerated him and provided him with protection. The world in front of him was smooth and open, allowing him to gallop freely.

Obstacles and objects flew past on both sides at a speed so fast that it was impossible to stop.

Zhou You felt his face go numb, and the world in his sight became blurry because he was moving too fast.

I don’t know how long it was before everything came to a sudden stop.

The flowing lines and chaotic blocks of color all return to their original positions, and an extremely clear world appears before us.

Under my feet is the edge of the rift valley, exactly on the edge, with my toes facing the valley bottom.

Calculating the time, it only takes two or three hours from the city to here.

Zhou You paused for a moment, activated the power of the seal character "拘" again, and dived into the valley. The light around him gradually weakened. The sound of dripping water sounded in his ears.

After Zhou You squeezed through the gap, he appeared in the highlight of this journey, the underground cave.

The big snake was originally coiled up like a mosquito coil, with its head resting on its tail and its eyes closed, sleeping. Suddenly, it noticed something and raised its head alertly.

When it saw that the person coming was Zhou You, it relaxed and put its head back on its body.

"Well done."

Zhou You looked around and found that the number of bloody pearls had not decreased, but had increased as they matured.

The small fruits are as red as drops of blood and as round as pearls, which can be said to be a masterpiece of nature.

He hung the round bowl on his waist, put on a layer of fish skin gloves on his hands, and bent down to pick the bloody pearls one by one.

Every time one is picked, it is placed in a round bowl and soaked in medicine. Soon, the round bowl is filled with fruits of different sizes.

After drying, the bloody pearl can be put into the hungry skin bag and taken out of the ground.

With the preparation of the potion, the bleeding pearl will not disappear even if exposed to the sun.

"call!"

After picking about 300 or 400 bloody pearls, Zhou You let out a breath and looked around at the grass. The original blood-red color had faded, leaving only the emerald green, unripe fruits.

After soaking, place the fruit in a ventilated place to dry...

Suddenly, the big snake swam in front of Zhou You and its eyes seemed to have something to say to him.

"Don't worry, you will benefit from it."

Zhou You patted the body of the big snake. This worm, which was as long as a hill, had a scale that was bigger than his head. It might have been stuck underground for too long in order to guard the bloody pearl.

By the way, I remember I had a big earthworm on my hand, which was also suitable for underground activities.

"Well, in the next few days, it's still early for the fruits to ripen, so you are free to move around."

Zhou You took out a poison nest and released the big earthworm on the spot. The long, sticky worm was so frightened when it saw the big snake that it curled up into a ball and was not released until a long time later.

The big earthworm was indeed adapted to the local environment and quickly swam around.

"Well, you are responsible for guarding the fruits here..."

Before Zhou You finished speaking, the big earthworm suddenly arched towards the ground somewhere, and a large piece of loose soil was blown away.

Seeing this scene, Zhou You could understand that there was something underground.

A moment later, a ragged corpse was found sitting in a large dug pit.

It is said that if it is neither dry nor wet for thousands of years, it will be wet for ten thousand years, and if it is neither dry nor wet for only half a year.

The body was buried in moist soil, isolated from the outside air and protected from light, keeping the flesh intact and preventing it from decaying too badly.

However, most of the things on him were indestructible, and their identity and origins could not be identified.

However, the corpse that appeared in the place where the bleeding pearls grew, ten thousand meters underground, was definitely not an ordinary person.

Zhou You walked around the corpse a few times, then slapped his head and wondered how could he have forgotten it?

He took out the Corpse Whip, and this evil magic weapon found its chance to work.

Considering how well the corpse was preserved, it could at least withstand 3-7 lashes, which was enough for Zhou You to ask about the person's origins, why he came here, and why he died here.

"Snapped!"
