Su Chen soon couldn't hold it any longer and shouted, "That's enough, my friend. There's no need to pull it out anymore."

"...Okay, then I'll listen to the master."

He put the backpack on the ground, opened it, emptied out the useless things, put the herbs in, and zipped it up. When he thought about the rich harvest this time, he couldn't stop smiling.

The male dragon's gaze fell on him, his eyes somewhat bewildered. In his eyes, herbs that were not resources for cultivation were worthless. He didn't understand why the master liked them so much.

Su Chen put on his backpack and took out a scale from his pocket, as if thinking of something.

"This is your scale, fellow Daoist. I picked it up by the pond and am returning it to you now."

"Master, if you don't mind, I'll give you this scale. It carries the aura of our clan. Carry it with you, and no snake will dare to come near and harm you."

The male dragon said seriously, "If the master's partner is an ordinary human, these scales will be useful to her. It can be polished and used as a decoration."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow and accepted it readily, saying thank you softly: "Thank you very much, my wife will probably like it. Girls like shiny things, and your clan's scales are like gold and look very beautiful."

"...If you like it, Master, there are still a lot of them in the cave. You can take them all. They were all accidentally rubbed off. There is no use for me to come here."

"Haha, since you said so, I won't be polite. I'll pick up more later."

Su Chen walked back to the road and whispered, "This cave is too unconcealed. After I get out, I'll set up a decoy for you to prevent it from being discovered in the future."

The male dragon was stunned and asked in surprise, "Master, why are you willing to help my clan like this? I was disrespectful to you before, and I am really ashamed."

"It's just a small matter. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is now exhausted. If this place is discovered, I'm afraid there will be chaos. I live not far from the foot of the mountain, but I don't want to cause trouble on the mountain."

"Hey, there are many evil ways nowadays. I am mainly on guard against them. You can practice here in peace. I may come to visit you when I have the chance in the future."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

After picking up a bag of scales, Su Chen walked out of the cave little by little and set up a blindfold outside the cave. Unless one was a person with profound Taoism skills, one could not see the cave at all.

The male dragon coiled outside the cave, watching the figure gradually disappear, then swam back into the cave to take care of his partner.

Snow Wolf brought people to the territory, and after the spirit gathering array was set up, he could clearly feel that the thin spiritual energy around him had become much thicker, and his eyes were full of joy.

Thank you, Master.

"It's okay. You guys also took me to pick spiritual herbs. It's a favor returned. Well, it's getting late. I should go down the mountain or it will be dark soon."

"Yes, then we will escort the master down the mountain."

Su Chen waved his hand quickly: "No, it's best if you practice in this deep mountain without anyone knowing. If you follow me down the mountain and get photographed, it will be difficult for you to live a peaceful life in the future."

Snow Wolf nodded upon hearing this.

[Okay, then I'll listen to you, Master. Please go down the mountain early.]

Su Chen returned to the camp on the top of the mountain. He originally thought that he was the only one left, but he didn't expect that everyone else was there. He couldn't help but look a little surprised.

It took him at least three or four hours to go back and forth. It was already one o'clock. What were they doing here if they didn't go down the mountain? They couldn't be here to watch the sunrise.

Zhou Xuening breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him come back.

His tone was very polite: "Master, you are back. It was Si Nian who wanted to stay. She said that you saved her, so she naturally wanted to wait for you to return safely."

"As for me, I'm just here to join in the fun. I've never met the mayor up close, so I want to broaden my horizons."

When Si Nian heard the voice, she hurried over with a flushed face. She said nervously, "Master, are you okay? Thank you for saving me last night. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."

That frail look makes people feel distressed.

Su Chen touched his nose, subconsciously took two steps back, and said in a distant tone: "It's okay, this Taoist priest is kind-hearted and can't stand those things. No matter who it was last night, I would have saved them."

"Okay, it's getting late, we should go back."

As they passed by, Si Nian vaguely saw a flash of golden light. He turned his head and asked in confusion, "Master, what is that?"
