A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

"Master, there are still some good treasures!"

This time, Xiaoli brought Wushuang to a pine forest, just an ordinary pine forest. Could it be that they were going to eat pine nuts? Wushuang looked around and didn't see any treasures, so he looked up. After looking around, the only thing of some value was the pine nuts.

"Master, look, it's here." The little fox stood on its hind legs like a squirrel, and used its front legs to dig out a black object that looked like a lump of earth from under the fallen pine needles, and held it in its hands.

What is this? Wushuang asked in his mind,

"This is pine resin dew. Actually, it was originally an ordinary truffle, but under special conditions and due to the nourishment of spiritual power, it slowly condensed into pine resin dew over thousands of years. The outer skin and flesh also contain spiritual power, and it tastes extremely delicious. It nourishes the body, strengthens the body, and enhances mental strength. The pine resin dew juice inside can be drunk directly for its fragrance, and its effect on enhancing mental strength is even better. Master, there are a lot here, let's dig together? Dig up more and take it back, otherwise we may not have any to eat later."

Can it enhance mental strength? Of course I've seen such a magical treasure before, so I won't miss it. After I go back, I'm going to eat tonic soup every day to make myself indestructible, haha! This special environment... I wonder if the Duobao Bracelet can imitate it?

"Okay." The little bracelet squeaked, and the voice was soft, as if it hadn't woken up yet. If it wasn't communicating through spiritual consciousness, Wushuang wouldn't be able to hear what it said.

When Wushuang didn't notice, wisps of fairy spirit continued to gather and were absorbed into the bracelet. The bracelet looked like it was always wrapped with wisps of fairy spirit, but Wushuang couldn't see it even if she looked at the bracelet now. She could only feel the difference through her feeling.

If it's possible, why bother? Just dig up the pine trees and scrape the soil. Thus, a large pine forest was added to the medicinal garden. At Xiaoli's insistence, a large pine forest was also added to her farm.

"Master, the pine nuts here are actually quite good. They're delicious and full of spiritual energy. If you have time later, pick some and stir-fry them as a snack. They'll be super delicious."

That's pretty good! Do you know where this is?

"Here? This place is called the Abandoned Land by the Immortal Realm, where it's used to dump garbage or imprison prisoners. But for the cultivators of the Lower Realm, it's a treasure trove. There's a tiny amount of immortal energy here that isn't found on the Lower Realm continent. Absorbing a small amount is beneficial to the cultivation and advancement of the cultivators of the Lower Realm. The spiritual plants here all contain some immortal energy! And this is also the closest place to the Immortal Realm that the cultivators of the Lower Realm can access."

Do you know where those people come from?

"There are several continents for them, but the most common one is Lingyun Continent. Every hundred years, a group of cultivators from there come in, but they can only stay for about a year. The cultivators there seem to be more powerful, but none of them are as powerful as you, master. Once your spiritual fire comes out, it will definitely beat those of the same level as you to a pulp! Master is the most powerful. You broke my illusion array in one go. You are the first person to successfully enter the valley where I live. The others either escaped or were eaten by me!" What it didn't say was that the moment the master released the fire spiritual power, it felt the taste of the master in the inheritance.

Eat? Wushuang couldn't help but stare at the soft and cute little fox in front of him with wide eyes.

Realizing that he had said something wrong, the little fox quickly covered his mouth with his two front paws, lowered his head and secretly looked at Wushuang, fearing that his master would not accept him and would abandon him. It would be fine if his master threw him away, but what if he insisted on killing him?

Wushuang took a moment to accept it. It was normal for demonic beasts to eat humans. This was the normal relationship between cultivators and demonic beasts. It was just that his upbringing had caused him to have some indigestion. And being around a demonic beast that could eat humans was a bit unsettling. Wushuang tried to reason with himself, building up his mental fortitude. This was his spiritual pet. They were bound by a master-servant contract. It wouldn't harm him, and it couldn't. Look how adorable it was! It only bared its teeth at others, and those it ate were others. In front of him, it was always an obedient little darling.

After taking a look at the aggrieved little fox, Wushuang was finally pleased by its aggrieved look and instantly let go of the grudge in his heart.

But you can’t eat people casually from now on, okay?

"Master, I will definitely listen to you from now on. If you don't let me eat humans, then I won't. I eat other things, like those magical herbs, the fresh golden mushrooms, the pine scented dew, and the pine nuts. They're all delicious too. I ate humans before because they came to me on their own accord. If I didn't eat them, they would have snatched my treasures and probably killed me."

If only there were a ten-thousand-year-old longevity fruit. That way, Grandpa could live another 200 years. He had planted the core of the longevity fruit Grandpa had eaten in his portable medicine garden. Although the spatial velocity in the garden seemed to have increased, by the time it could produce a ten-thousand-year-old longevity fruit, Grandpa would be long gone. It would be too late. Only a ready-made one would be effective.

"Master, are you looking for something to prolong your life? Although there are no longevity fruits here, there are better fairy peaches here. It's just that the fairy spirit here is not pure, so the peaches that are extracted can't be considered fairy peaches, but they are indeed a very good thing to prolong life. One fairy peach can extend your life by at least 300 years. It's nothing for immortals, and even not very important for some immortal cultivators, but it is indeed very good for mortals, much better than the longevity fruit you mentioned. If the fairy spirit was purer and richer, it could extend your life by at least years. However, that would not be suitable for ordinary people to take. They must be at least at the Nascent Soul stage or above."

Oh, that’s really great. Where is it? Take me there quickly!

"But that peach is occupied by a red flame tiger, which is already a fifth-level monster. Master, it seems you can't defeat it."

His cultivation level is equivalent to the Spirit Transformation Stage, so of course I can't beat him.

"But the Scarlet Flame Tiger doesn't really value the peach; it just likes its taste. Master, you could consider exchanging it for some fire-attributed spiritual objects. Although I'm only a third-level demon, I have a special bloodline and special magical powers. Even high-level demons will be more polite to me. I can talk to it."

I still have a few Extreme Flame Flowers left that I can exchange with you. Go talk to it first and see how it works.

Wushuang did not wander around, but returned to the cave where Xiaoli lived to wait for news.

The little fox came back soon and said excitedly, "Master, I made a deal with it. It can exchange one Extreme Flame Flower for ten peaches. But I also asked it for a peach tree! It agreed!"

This is not bad, Xiaoli is awesome!

She thought it would be good enough to get two or three peaches in return, and she could even get a peach tree in return, which was truly sustainable development.

"Hehe, Master, the main thing is that it is about to advance and is in urgent need of a fire-attributed spiritual plant. You are simply providing timely assistance."

Haha, that’s good. It’s truly good only when everyone is good and I am good too!

Wushuang gave the Extreme Flame Flower to Xiaoli and asked her to complete the exchange. Soon, Xiaoli returned with ten fairy peaches and a small tree, just over a meter tall. It would probably take years for it to bear fruit, wouldn't it? But it was still pretty good. After all, it was given to you for free. This was an unexpected reward. Wushuang felt good about being able to give two peaches.

Wushuang took Xiaoli away from here, ready to go to other places to look for opportunities, and talked to it about the previous topic while walking.

You said there are still prisoners here? Where are they? How many are there? Are they still alive?

"I don't know whether he is alive or dead. I only know that there is a person, and that person is trapped in the land of thunder punishment. These are all in the inherited memory. In fact, I have never seen that person, and the people and animals here cannot go there. The whole place is surrounded by formations." The owner is from the Tianyuan Continent, and it knows it. Even the person inside is from the Tianyuan Continent. He is not a bad person, but his resistance violated the interests of some people, so he was charged with a crime and imprisoned there. Of course, these are all in the inherited memory.

It looks at its owner cautiously, not knowing what the owner is thinking. It can only hear her if the owner wants it to hear her thoughts or actively communicates with it in her consciousness.

"What about that imprisoned man? Do you know? Is he a bad guy?"

"No!" Xiaoli said firmly and answered without hesitation, as if he was afraid that if he was a second late, his master would misunderstand that person.

Do you know him?

"No, but there is a memory about him that he is a good man!" It was nervous and scared, looking at the sky nervously, afraid that it would be struck by lightning accidentally. It was afraid that it would be struck to death by lightning, and it was also afraid that its master would not believe it. But it could not say too much, because if it said too much, it would definitely be targeted.

The person who locked him up is not a good person!

"Yeah." In Xiaoli's opinion, those people were extremely evil, and the inherited memory simply hated them! It was completely unable to hide its disgust for those people.

"They..." Just as the word "they" left her mouth, a bolt of lightning struck down, striking Xiaoli's head. Sensing something was wrong, Xiaoli instantly leaped a great distance away. Knowing she couldn't escape, she tried to stay as far away from her master as possible, fearing she might endanger him. Wushuang, standing nearby, felt a tingling sensation even at such a distance. She could even smell the burning aroma of something burning in her nose. Xiaoli's fur was singed!

Xiaoli, are you okay?

"Master, I'm fine. I won't die anymore." The voice was extremely weak and intermittent.

Xiaoli cursed the heavens silently in his heart! The sky here is no longer the same as before. Oh, what a bastard!
