Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

With a concrete action plan in hand, Zhong Lingxin felt completely clear-headed.

She glanced at her companions not far away and smiled slightly: "Sorry, I was thinking about something."

Ge Hongtian laughed and said, "Congratulations, Junior Sister Zhong. You've changed your whole demeanor because you thought of something good."

Zhan Heng, Ming Jingchen, and others also came to congratulate Zhong Lingxin.

Zhong Lingxin asked with a smile, "Brothers and sisters, have your injuries fully healed?"

Everyone laughed and said they were much better, thanking Zhong Lingxin for the medicine, which was extremely effective.

Looking at the rushing stream, Ming Jingchen said dejectedly, "Well, it's hopeless for us to pick any more Qingyu flowers from Manglong Pool this year. The price of Qingyu flowers should go up!"

Ge Hongtian laughed and said, "There are other places, the Mangyuan Mountains are not just this one."

Ming Jingchen shook his head: "You don't know, this is the place with the most Qingyu flowers in the entire Mangyuan Mountain Range, and it can only be harvested during this season. Who knew that the rains would be so heavy this year, washing away the entire mudflat. Those Qingyu flowers are very clean, and they can only grow when the grass is green. Sigh, if we had been faster, we could have harvested from several more places, and we could have dug and dug up hundreds of jade boxes."

Zhong Lingxin was learning to refine a third-grade elixir when she asked, "Where can we find any more? Let's go look for them quickly. The sky is overcast, and it might rain again soon."

Ming Jingchen stood up and urged everyone, "Let's go, let's go, I know the place. It's a bit far, let's fly there."

Everyone laughed and stood up. The price of the Green Rain Flower was not low, and with a guide, they would definitely pick a few more plants.

Ge Hongtian stood on the flying sword, and Ming Jingchen followed him, leading the way.

Zhong Lingxin flew at the very back on her sword, positioned to cover the rear.

A short while later, the light rain started to fall again.

Ming Jingchen excitedly directed Ge Hongtian to cross several mountain ridges and arrive at a bluestone slab: "Here, do you see this bluestone slab? It's big enough, isn't it? Whenever it rains, water flows down from the bluestone slab. It's extremely damp down here. Be careful, there are small green snakes."

As he spoke, Ge Hongtian struck and sent a small, emerald-green snake flying.

The little green snake writhed a few times in mid-air, landed in a clump of grass, and quickly slithered away.

Ming Jingchen sighed: "You disciples of a major sect really don't value spirit stones. That little green snake is called Bisi, and it's an excellent spiritual medicine. Snake venom is very expensive, and snake gall is also a spiritual medicine for detoxification."

Ge Hong laughed and said, "Junior Brother Ming is right. If I see Bi Si again, I will put her away as well."

Ming Jingchen nodded: "That's right. Although Bisi is a second-tier demon beast, we can't waste her."

Everyone laughed.

Soon, Ming Jingchen pointed to a spot on the left and shouted, "Quick, get ready, the Qingyu flowers there are about to sprout!"

A cultivator flying in front of Zhong Lingxin laughed and said, "Really? How come I can't tell?"

Ming Jingchen held a jade box in his left hand and a jade shovel in his right, his eyes fixed on the spot. Without turning his head, he said, "How would you outsiders know? This is all based on our years of experience. Just watch."

Everyone believed Ming Jingchen's words and took out their jade boxes and jade shovels to prepare.

On the grassy field, mist gradually rose, and several small, green snakes swam over from afar.

Ming Jingchen pointed at the little green snake and said, "Look, this snake is so clever. As soon as the Green Rain Flower comes out, they swim over to eat it. We need to be quick so they don't steal our food."

Zhan Heng said, "These little green silk snakes are strange. They ate third-grade spiritual medicine, but they didn't burst, nor did they advance in rank."

Ming Jingchen shook his head: "You don't know this. The venom of the Jade Silk Snake is very strange. It can poison itself to death. Only by eating the Green Rain Flower can it be cured. Look closely, the one on the left has already turned black on its head. It's about to poison itself to death."

When everyone looked over, sure enough, the little green snake's head was swollen and black.

Ming Jingchen continued, "The little green snake with a swollen and blackened head is the most venomous and ferocious. Be careful, at this time, its attack power is equivalent to that of a third-tier demon beast. Its venom can fetch the best price, but its gall is worthless."

Everyone nodded; they had all seen it in the "Record of Monsters".

Ge Hongtian said, "I'll deal with that green silk later."

As they spoke, several green stalks on the grass grew slowly and noticeably, and buds began to form on the tips of the stalks.

More green stalks began to slowly grow taller and bud.

Everyone knew that the Green Rain Flower was about to bloom.

Several green snakes coiled their bodies, heads held high, aiming at the flower buds on the green stems, waiting for the flowers to bloom so they could swallow them whole.

More blue-haired snakes swam in from all directions.

Ming Jingchen said dejectedly, "Troublesome, there are so many green silks, they're hard to pick."

Ge Hongtian said, "Let's deal with the Jade Silk Snakes first."

Ming Jingchen said, "Be careful, don't move those green poles. If you shake them too hard, they'll break. They're very brittle."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingxin took out the Phoenix Zither, suspended it in mid-air, played it with her left hand, and used her right hand to pick up a piece of green silk with her sword and put it into the jade box.

Ge Hongtian lifted the swollen head of the green hair on the left and laughed loudly, "Junior Sister Zhong, let's train together again next time."

Ming Jingchen and the others also kept working, happily echoing Ge Hongtian's words.

With Zhong Lingxin's zither music as a blessing, most of the Jade Silk Snakes were quickly put into jade boxes by the group.

The rest, seeing the situation was not good, all swam away quickly.

On the entire green lawn, there was only one upright green pole.

At the top of the stem, green flower buds began to bloom layer by layer in the misty drizzle.

A breeze blows, and the flower buds sway gently, slowly blooming.

A faint, refreshing fragrance filled the air around them.

Ming Jingchen took a deep breath: "It smells so good. It is said that the fragrance of the Qingyu Flower is most refreshing when it first blooms. In our Minghe City, when a cultivator's spiritual sense is injured, he takes advantage of this kind of weather to come out and smell the fragrance."

Ge Hongtian looked at Qingyuhua, tightened his grip on the small jade shovel in his hand, and said, "Ready, let's start mining."

Just then, Zhong Lingxin looked up at the mountaintop and said, "Those cowards from Lingyun Sect are here."

Ge Hongtian looked up at the mountaintop, drew his longsword, and said, "You all pick some and divide them equally later. Junior Sister Zhong and I will go and meet them. Damn it, they blew me up! That shameless bastard dared to run away!"

Zhong Lingxin was also furious. She had never suffered such a loss since she began cultivating immortality.

The two men took to the air with their swords drawn, heading towards the Lingyun Sect members atop the mountain.

Ge Hongtian pointed his sword at Feng Haixi: "You coward surnamed Feng, you stop right there."
