After Ming Qiu left, Zhong Suhan took Ji Yuan and Wen Chi to continue exploring this secret place. However, since they no longer had the original purpose, their exploration was more like a picnic in the suburbs. They would set up a tent wherever they saw something interesting, and move to another place when they got bored.

The place where we set up camp today is in a valley with a gurgling stream. Above the stream is a waterfall and a secluded pool. Above the waterfall is a huge red maple tree. The trunk is dotted with golden light, and the orange-red leaves are inlaid with a circle of gold. The silver bell-like fruits will collide with each other and make a tinkling sound when the wind blows.

When Wen Chi saw the golden and silver maple, he couldn't move and stared at it, with the word "want" clearly written on his face. However, he didn't dare to get close to the waterfall, because there was a small white dragon swimming in the deep pool.

The deep pool is the territory of the little dragon, and the golden and silver maple is naturally the property of the little dragon. Ji Yuan is only at the foundation building stage and cannot defeat the little dragon that has a demon pill. If he gets one step closer, he will be bitten to pieces immediately.

So Wen Chi begged Zhong Suhan to camp here, just in case a fruit fell or floated over with the water!

Zhong Suhan: ...

Let’s not talk about whether the fruit will fall or not. Even if it falls, it will be eaten by the thing in the pond.

She actually didn't agree to camp here, because who knows what might come here to drink water, but he was her junior brother after all, and it was rare for him to show that he wanted something so much, so she agreed.

So Wen Chi stared at the golden and silver peak day and night, praying every day that a fruit would fall and float to him along the water.

After praying for three or four days, Ji Yuan couldn't bear it any longer. She was tired of playing here. She glanced at Zhong Suhan who was fishing every day, and pulled Wen Chi, who was sitting on a small stool and staring at the honeysuckle tree, to go somewhere else to play.

"Even if you watch it every day, not a single one will fall. Anyway, my sister is fishing, so let her watch it for you. Let's go play somewhere else!"

Wen Chi who was dragged away: "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, remember to keep an eye on me!"

Zhong Suhan waved his hand, telling him to go somewhere else to play without worries. He raised his hand to adjust the position of his straw hat, and looked at the floating fishing float with some melancholy. The stream was so shallow that he didn't know if he could catch any fish.

A gust of wind blew, and a few leaves of the golden and silver maple fell, floating in front of her along the water flow. They were blocked by a stone. The red maple with golden edges was very beautiful. She put down the fishing rod, took off her shoes and socks, walked into the water barefoot, and picked up the leaves.

"Can you give up your love, fellow Taoist?"

A female voice came from the shore. Zhong Suhan turned his head and saw that the woman who spoke was wearing the same clothes as the people who came to Xuanyue Gate to cause trouble. He lowered his eyes and thought about which sect they were from. "Are you from Feishuang Valley?"

"Yes." The woman nodded with a smile, "You are from Xuanyue Sect, right? I am Ling Ya from Feishuang Valley."

Oh, I know this person myself. The eldest sister of the inner sect of Feishuang Valley is the same as me!

Zhong Suhan thought about it and refused, "Sorry, I have another use for this leaf, I'm afraid I can't give it up, but you can continue to wait here, maybe other leaves will float down."

"Okay." Ling Shuang didn't force her. She found a clean stone and sat down. While waiting for the leaf, she also chatted with her, "I don't know what you want this leaf for."

The fruit of the golden and silver maple has medicinal value, but the leaves, trunk, bark, and roots are completely useless for refining weapons or pills, and are even inferior to other materials that can produce the same effect more easily.

It can be said that apart from looking good, it has no other use.

Zhong Suhan walked to his original position and sat down. He took out a red spirit stone from the treasure bag with a leaf in his hand. He clasped his hands together to mobilize the spiritual energy to soften the spirit stone, and just by pinching it, he formed the stone into the shape of a hairpin.

"My second apprentice sister loves beauty. This maple leaf is beautiful. I thought of making a hairpin for her and bringing it back. She will definitely be happy."

Ling Ya just watched her making the hairpin. Although it was not a very difficult task, it was a little scary that it did not require an alchemy furnace or spiritual fire. She pursed her lips and quickly guessed the identity of the person in front of her - Zhong Suhan, an inner sect disciple of Xuan Yue Sect.

She is hailed as a weapon-refining genius that appears once in a thousand years in the world of cultivation, and also the most regretted genius.

She had an excellent physique for cultivating immortals, but possessed a body that could not retain spiritual energy. Many families had considered digging out her physique and using it on their own youngsters, but no one dared to actually do it.

The parents' real power is there, and they are also known for protecting their own people. If they dare to touch Zhong Suhan, they have to first see if their family background is enough for them to destroy.

Therefore, even though Ling Ya wanted to snatch the gold and silver maple leaves, she did not dare to do it. She could only watch her inlay the refined leaves on the hairpin, and use round pearls and gold threads as a foil to make a beautiful hairpin for her second junior sister.

Zhong Suhan was not good at making these things, and his aesthetic taste was average. After thinking for a while, he turned around and asked Ling Hua beside him: "Fellow Daoist Ling Hua, please help me take a look at this hairpin. Is it good? I'm afraid that if I make it, it won't look good and my junior sister won't like it."

"It looks good. Very good." Ling Ya's smile seemed a little forced.

Zhong Suhan noticed her reluctance and said, "I haven't asked Daoist Ling Hua what he wants this leaf for yet."

"My junior sister has gone astray and needs the leaves as medicine." Ling Hua's smile could no longer be maintained, and the corners of her mouth slid downward. "Originally, the secret realm could have brought her a spirit beast that could suppress her inner demons, and she would have been fine, but..." It was snatched away by your master!

Hearing this, Zhong Suhan raised her eyebrows. It turned out that those guys really had a little sister who was possessed by evil. She thought they were finding an excuse to come and cause trouble, but the leaves could be used as medicine in general.

"The doctor said that the fruit of the golden and silver maple would be the best, and the leaves would be the worst." Ling Hua added, "You also saw that the golden and silver maple was guarded by a small dragon, and I really couldn't take it down by myself."

So that's how it is. Zhong Suhan didn't say anything else. The hairpin was done and she didn't have any extra leaves to do anything else with, so she simply picked up the fishing rod and continued fishing.

Ling Ya did not continue chatting with her, but stared at the golden and silver maple tree just like Wen Chi did before.

"Fellow Daoist Ling Hua, why don't you cooperate with others to get the fruit?" Zhong Su asked coldly, "Are you the only one who came to Feishuang Valley this time?"

Ling Hua said, "The situation in this secret realm is unclear. My junior brothers and sisters are not as capable as those in Xuanyue Sect. Master was afraid that something might happen to them, so he only asked me to come. The little dragon in the demon elixir stage is not easy to deal with, and this secret realm restricts cultivators below the golden elixir stage from entering. Besides... I don't trust them either."

In the world of cultivation, killing people and stealing treasures is the norm.

Zhong Suhan understood her concerns and said nothing more. He took back the hook that was eaten by the fish, put the bait on it again and continued to cast.
