Tiexian heirs in the city

The fragrance gradually became stronger, and in the small room, the eyes of everyone had become a bit tormented, they couldn't concentrate on chatting at all, and their eyes would always be attracted by the grilled bamboo rat.

"How about we go outside? Staying here, it seems that we are all particularly worthless!"

Food can make people happy, and it is rare for Qin Wanxia to smile happily.

"Yes, let's all go out!"

Even though he knew that he had nothing to do with Qin Wanxia, ​​Elder Feng still agreed immediately. If it wasn't for Luo Xiao being here, if it wasn't for Gu Zheng's delicious temptation, Qin Wanxia wouldn't have stayed with her for so long in decades.

Everyone went out, except Luo Xiao who wanted to learn more.

"Gu Zheng, can you teach me how to cook?"

Luo Xiao, who was looking at Gu Zheng roasting bamboo rats, suddenly said something.

"Teach you how to cook? That's the same as doing apprenticeship, serving tea, and kowtow!"

Luo Xiao didn't even call him respectful, Gu Zheng wanted to scare her with this, so that she wouldn't be impulsive.

"You are right, you have to look like a teacher when you are a teacher."

Luo Xiao agreed, turned around and fixed her eyes on the teacup on the table.

"Don't, you didn't joke with me, but I was joking with you!" Gu Zheng smiled awkwardly: "I haven't been a teacher yet. According to the master's request, I can't accept apprentices yet! When will I be a teacher? Only then are you qualified to accept apprentices."

Regarding cooking skills, Gu Zheng was naturally asked by Luo Xiao, but his answer was still taught by a master who has never seen the end.

Facing Gu Zheng's rejection, Luo Xiao was not disappointed, but nodded in understanding.

"Gu Zheng will soon enter the Shu Ruins, and if we need to explore dangerous places at that time, can Emei join us?" Luo Xiao said.

"Let's talk about it at that time. If you Shushan don't mind, it's not impossible to go to dangerous areas together to explore."

Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and didn't take what Luo Xiao said too much to heart. There are a total of fifteen places in Shu Ruins to open Shu Mountain, which can be described as a large number of people. Among these people, the leader is not Luo Xiao. She has the intention to cooperate, but it does not mean that others also have.

That is to say, during the time when the two were talking, the bamboo rat had been roasted to six mature, and the attractive fragrance became more and more intense.

Cut the roasted bamboo rat into pieces and put it in a pot with spring water from the earth veins on the side, and Gu Zheng sliced ​​the purple scorpion that was prepared on the side.

The sound of the kitchen knife falling on the cutting board sounded evenly, which made people feel a little dazed. The white bamboo shoots appeared on the cutting board, and the thickness of each piece was the same.

The fresh bamboo scent was confusing, Gu Zheng put the sliced ​​bamboo shoots into the pot and started to simmer over high heat.

The dish I made today does not look complicated in the eyes of outsiders. It is nothing fancy, and the seasoning is only salt. Except that the bamboo rat meat is grilled in advance, it can be said to be a simple stew. However, what seems ordinary is actually extraordinary. In addition to the high-grade ingredients, there is also Gu Zheng's understanding of food and the use of fairy arts.

The water in the pot boiled quickly, and under the dual effects of the ancient fire control formula and the water control formula, the scents of bamboo rat and invisible sky are intertwined and can be clearly distinguished, making people want to swallow their saliva .

After simmering on high heat for a while, it was changed to low heat and slow simmering. The original rich aroma became restrained and mellow. With the sound of "cuckling" in the pot, even Gu Zheng couldn't help but want to taste it quickly. Taste, what kind of taste is this pot of 'Fresh Bamboo Casserole'?

The 'Fresh Bamboo Pot' is out of the pot and divided into six bowls. The soup in each bowl is clear and visible, with golden skinned meat and white and tender bamboo shoots inside.

In order to retain the original bamboo fragrance of the ingredients to the greatest extent, Gu Zheng even refused Luo Xiao's proposal to provide high-quality spices, and used magic to control the taste and aroma of the ingredients to the best.

"Master Gu, you really surprise me time and time again! I also often eat bamboo rats, why is the color of your stewed soup clear instead of milky white?"

Others have already started eating, and the voices of praise are endless, but Qin Wanxia is still holding the 'Fresh Bamboo Pot' and looking at it, her face is full of emotion, she really doesn't know why she didn't put any spices to enhance it. A dish with a strong flavor is even more appetizing than a dish with spices.

"The difference in the color of the soup is caused by the difference in the inner strength's control over the ingredients. The essence of the bamboo rat meat is released, the color of the soup is milky white, and the taste will appear thick. The color of the soup is clear, which makes my bamboo rat meat The essence of the meat is completely left in the meat, after all, the heaven and the earth are much more precious than the bamboo rat, and I want you to taste them more."

Gu Zheng explained, but in fact he still didn't say some things, for example, he let the smell of not seeing the sky soak into the bamboo rat. Such a thing will be frightening to think carefully. It is understandable to use internal strength alone to control and lock the water in the meat, but if you can control the degree of infiltration and sealing of the taste, it will make people think more. Isn't it related to Xianli? After all, it should be impossible to achieve this with pure internal strength.

Qin Wanxia didn't understand the art of cooking. Gu Zheng's explanation made her feel the depth of the food after its perfection, and the rest was admiration, and she could only taste the delicious food quickly.

"Soft, glutinous and smooth, suitable for fat and thin, melts in the mouth, really delicious!"

After eating a mouthful of bamboo rat meat, Qin Wanxia's eyes lit up. She was worried that the scent of the two plump bamboo rats would be a bit greasy, but now it seems that she was thinking too much.

"It's really delicious. I have never eaten bamboo rats with such a strong bamboo fragrance! No, it should be any meat food with bamboo shoots. There is nothing like this dish. You obviously eat meat, but there is something in your mouth. The unmistakable bamboo fragrance is inside, making people feel as if they are in a sea of ​​bamboo."

Qin Wanxia, ​​who closed her eyes and savored it, picked up the soup and took a sip, her eyes widened instantly, and impatiently took a piece of the soup into her mouth.

"I enjoyed it so much. I can't think of any words to describe this bowl of clear soup and this so-called missing sky!"

Qin Wanxia looked at Gu Zheng with admiration in her eyes. In fact, not only her, but several other people as well.

Tang Guzheng also drank it, and he didn't feel that the reactions of the few people were excessive!

Although the soup is clear, there is still some meat flavor in it. Although some of the bamboo fragrance in the sky has entered the bamboo rat meat, the bamboo fragrance itself is very strong, and the loss does not affect its quality at all. .

The medium-quality water source, the ordinary level of invisible sky, and the taste of meat, make people feel like walking in the desert for a long time. The moment you drink it is not only satisfying, but also the environment you are in. It's like being transformed into a bamboo sea full of greenery and humid air, and there is nothing else in the whole world except the fragrance of bamboo.

Six bowls of 'Fresh Bamboo Pot', the bowls are not too small, but Qin Wanxia still can't get enough of it, not only her, but the eyes looking at Gu Zheng are full of longing, and there is a great desire for Gu Zheng to make another pot mean.

Gu Zheng was lazy in the first place, and there was no bamboo rat in the main material, so he left Hidden Sword Peak early on the pretext that his internal strength was exhausted and he needed a rest. However, due to the repeated demands of Qin Wanxia and others, Gu Zheng still agreed to give them another tooth sacrifice after they came out of Shu Ruins.

The Shu Ruins are about to open, and the place to open the Shu Ruins is in the back mountain.

Early in the morning, Gu Zheng and others headed towards the back mountain under the leadership of Emei's senior management.

Gu Zheng was very low-key along the way, except for the occasional whispered conversation with his disciples, he rarely looked away. Every time the Shu Ruins opened, Shushan would send out two Supreme Elders. As for the immortal cultivators, Gu Zheng's current attitude was that it would be best not to have direct contact if possible.

There are a total of four places to enter the Shu Ruins, which is far beyond Gu Zheng's initial expectations. He designated the remaining three places as Gu An, Liu Ying and Zhang Tiancheng.

Needless to say, Gu An, the last trip to Tianshan followed Gu Zheng, and his current cultivation base is in the middle of the third level.

Like Gu An, Liu Ying is also one of the outstanding disciples of Emei's generation, and her cultivation is also at the middle stage of the third level, and she is obedient and obedient.

Zhang Tiancheng is in his forties, he is in the middle of the fourth stage of cultivation, and he is a deacon in the sect. In terms of personality, he is very similar to Gu An, a person who doesn't talk much, but is loyal to the sect and the head of the sect.

Emei is also helpless, each person can only enter the Shu Ruins once, whether it is Wuyou or Wuchou, there are four disciples in the late stage of the sect, and there are more than one, but either they have just been promoted and are not stable, or they are practicing Out of the fork, there is no way but to let Zhang Tiancheng come.

As for Liu Ying and Gu An, it is no different from them if they are replaced by other fourth-tier disciples, it is better to let them go in and practice first.

There was only one spot for the Qingcheng faction, and it fell on a man named Zhao Xin, who was in his sixties and was in the middle of the fifth level. In the past, the Qingcheng faction almost always dominated the second place. The reason why they entered the Shu Ruins was more, which also led to their strength in the middle and late stages of the fifth floor. Almost all of them have entered the Shu Ruins. In the middle of the fifth floor of the ruins, it is really not easy.

The person from the Situ family who was able to enter the Shu Ruins was not Situ Cong, that crazy young man, but Situ Minguo, who had witnessed the incident at Hidden Sword Peak, and his cultivation was already at the middle stage of the fifth floor. As for that Situ Cong, who lost a quota in the Shu Market, and even created a shameful incident, it is said that he has been locked up until now.

Ziyun Palace also has four places this time. In addition to the three Lingxue sisters who witnessed the hidden sword peak incident before, there is also a petite woman. The three Lingxue sisters are all at the beginning of the fifth level. As for that petite and exquisite woman, this is the first time Gu Zheng has seen her. Not to mention her cultivation level, she doesn't even know her name.

The Spirit Sword Sect has five places, and the old man who leads the team is named Han Yi, and his cultivation is already at the late stage of the fifth level. As for the other three men and one woman, the women are also late fifth-level, and the other three men are also mid-level five.

It was the same when Emei was strong before. Every time she entered, there were several fifth-level late stages, but now, there is no way to mention it.

Shushan has a total of fifteen places in Shuxu. Their leader's name is Yang Lanbo, and his cultivation is also at the late stage of the fifth floor. Among the other fourteen players, in addition to three late fifth-tier players, there were five middle-tier fifth-tier players and four early-tier fifth players. Luo Xiao's cultivation level at the beginning of the fourth floor was ranked second to last, as for the one who ranked first from the bottom, his cultivation was only at the middle stage of the third floor.

Shu Ruins is a special place. Those who entered Shu Ruins did not intend to go there to practice, but to collect various cultivation resources on behalf of the sect. Of course, in such a peculiar place, people who enter have fixed benefits. As for other opportunities, it depends on one's luck. Anyway, as long as they can come out of the Shu Ruins alive, basically everyone can advance, except for those who are in the late stage of the fifth floor, and the lower the cultivation level, the more obvious it is.

This is an open space in a dense forest. Five stone tablets standing on the open space are engraved with some obscure symbols. This is the place where the Shu Ruins were opened.

When everyone arrived here, the time for the opening of the Shu Ruins was approaching. The two elders of the Shu Mountain gave a lecture, saying that they belonged to the same lineage of the Shu Mountain. Instead, kill each other and so on.

It was time to open the Shu Ruins, and the bodies of the two Supreme Elders suddenly turned into afterimages. They surrounded the five steles and struck them with immortal power from time to time while raising their hands.

Sand and rocks were flying around, the trees were swaying wildly as if they were about to break, there was thunder rolling in the sky, and the five stone tablets were entwined with electric lights, exuding a palpitating coercion.

"Open Shu Ruins!"

The two Supreme Elders roared, their palms facing each other, and the shock wave generated by the collision of immortal power knocked down all the people who were about to enter the Shu Ruins, including those who were in the late stage of the fifth floor.

The glaring light came out of nowhere, and a crack appeared in the center of the five steles. It was so black that it seemed to be able to swallow people's eyes, but the edge of the crack was shining with a glaring white light, which made it difficult for people to take their eyes off. open.

"According to the order of ranking, after the Shushan disciples enter, it will be the turn of the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect."

As soon as the voice of a supreme elder fell, Shushan disciples immediately filed into the crack under the leadership of Yang Lanbo.

When it was the Emei faction's turn, Gu Zheng took the lead and entered the crack, feeling tense all over his body suddenly, and it was so dark that he couldn't see anything. However, this special feeling only lasted for two seconds. After the sight was restored, Gu Zheng had already entered the Shu Ruins.

The location is at the edge of the forest, and no one knows how long the forest is. Even if Gu Zheng's eyesight is much stronger than ordinary people, he can't see the end of the two sides at a glance.

The forest is almost full of fir trees, most of which are old fir trees that need to be embraced by several people. The sect that enters first also stays at the edge of the forest. The disciples in the sect are all very excited. They finally came to this legendary The place.

There are sun, moon and stars inside, and it is exactly the same as the outside world, but this is an area that cannot be found on the map. This is the Shu Ruins.

Looking at the forest in front of him, Gu Zheng's eyes became straight. On the edge of the forest alone, he found two nests of golden-colored chanterelles, which were ranked among the four most famous fungi in the world. It was too far away, and Gu Zheng couldn't know the grade of their ingredients, but thinking about being reborn in a place like Shu Ruins without modern pollution, they should at least be low-grade ingredients.

In just a moment, Situ's family and Qingcheng, who were behind Emei, all entered the Shu Ruins.

"Since everyone has come, let's go our separate ways. I hope you all will remember the words of the Supreme Elder before leaving." Yang Lanbo said.

Regarding Yang Lanbo's words, the representatives of the five major branches of Shushan all nodded in agreement.

Yang Lanbo didn't say anything more, and led the people from Shushan into a road in the forest.

When Luo Xiao entered the forest, she looked back at Gu Zheng, who smiled at her.

"Unexpectedly, Sect Leader Gu is quite good at messing around."

After the members of the Shushan faction disappeared completely, Situ Minguo laughed strangely.

"You are young, and some are struggling with strength!"

Zhao Xin of the Qingcheng faction was originally a wretched-looking old man, but now he looks even more wretched when he smiles.

"what are you saying?"

Zhang Tiancheng yelled, with a ferocious look on his face, if he said something, he would go forward and fight desperately. Although Gu An and Liu Ying didn't say anything, they immediately clenched their weapons.

"It's just a joke."

"Master Gu, we are one step ahead!"

Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin said nothing to each other, and before Gu Zheng could say anything, they stepped into two paths in the forest respectively.

There are a total of six roads in the forest, and these six roads lead to the six places respectively. Except for the road of the Shushan School which remains unchanged, which road the five branch sects take is based on the ranking.

Now that everyone has left, Gu Zheng didn't say anything more, but walked directly to the chanterelles beside the road in Shushan. For other sects, many things they don't want and don't understand are very likely to be cultivation resources here in Guzheng.

"Chanterelles, an inferior ingredient."

The voice of Qi Ling sounded, as expected by Gu Zheng.

Inferior ingredients are not rare for the current Gu Zheng Lao, but the two nests of chanterelles are better than the large amount, which weighs about three catties. What's more, this is the harvest that has just entered the Shu Ruins, and what else can be harvested later, it is really exciting to think about it.

Putting the chanterelles into the backpack, Gu Zheng actually used it as a cover and threw it directly into the primordial space. Mushrooms are tender meat. If you put them in your backpack and rub them back and forth with the movement, even if the quality will not be damaged, the appearance will definitely be damaged. It is better to put them directly into the "super fresh-keeping device" of the prehistoric space.

"The chanterelle fungus is useful for the sect leader. Let's find some separately. There should be a lot of this kind of fungus in the forest."

Liu Ying is a beautiful woman with fair skin, bright eyes and bright teeth, and a nice voice, like an announcer.

"No, just pick a little if you encounter it on the road, and don't look for it specifically. Our first task is to enter the third resource area first."

Gu Zheng took the lead on the road while speaking, and set foot on the road that belongs to Emei.

The road in the forest is very long. According to what the two elders Wuyou and Wuchou said, it would take three hours to walk out even if there was no delay.

The space is good, but the light is very dark, but fortunately, Gu Zheng and the others are not ordinary people, and their vision is not affected much. After entering the forest for a while, Zhang Tiancheng, who was in charge of opening the way, found another nest of chanterelles of this quality.

After walking for another half an hour, Zhang Tiancheng sucked his nose vigorously, carefully catching the sweetness in the air.

In fact, Gu Zheng knew what Zhang Tiancheng was going to do, and he also smelled the fragrance earlier than Zhang Tiancheng, but as the head of a faction, sometimes it is good to let his subordinates do things for him. No sense of existence can be found, and the loss of affinity is not conducive to unity.

"Sect Leader, according to the information given by the two elders, the 'Little Fragrant Pear' 50 meters ahead on the left is already ripe, we can go and pick it." Zhang Tiancheng said.

"Lead the way!" Gu Zheng smiled slightly.

Like a bonsai, a small fragrant pear tree with strangely growing branches is already in front of you. Eight pears the size of quail eggs are hidden among the few leaves on it.

Although the pears are small, they have a good appearance. They are golden in color and exude an attractive sweet fragrance.

"Xiaoxiangli, a low-grade exotic fruit, eating it can increase some internal strength."

The voice of Qi Ling sounded, and Gu Zheng was not surprised by this.

The reason why it is said that as long as one enters the Shu Ruins and does not die, the cultivation base of the Shu Ruins will definitely be promoted is because there are many rare and exotic fruits in the Shu Ruins, and many of these things can directly increase the cultivation base.

In the Dharma-ending era, many super-big sects have reserved places like 'Shuxu' to increase their cultivation resources, otherwise it would be more difficult to cultivate.

Qi Ling gave Xiaoxiangli a low-grade and different fruit evaluation, and there must be a middle-grade and a high-grade grade above it. Moreover, the two elders also told Gu Zheng that although there is no fairy energy in the Shu Ruins, they can produce fruits that contain fairy power, and these things must be "some-and-so-grade fairy fruits" in Qi Ling's mouth. As for the ordinary fruits in the outside world, when Qi Ling evaluated them, they would not say that they were exotic fruits, but only the grade of their ingredients.

"Sect Leader, how to distribute?"

Liu Ying picked off the little fragrant pear and held it in her hand, looking very excited.

"One for me, three for Deacon Zhang, two for you and Gu'an."

In fact, Gu Zheng doesn't need to eat it, Xiaoxiang pear can enhance inner strength, and what he has in his body is immortal power. Although he was able to turn his internal energy into immortal power, Xiaoxiangli's increase was not enough, and it was not enough for him to 'fill the gaps between teeth'. However, Xiaoxiang pear is a rare fruit after all, and it is not bad to eat one to satisfy your appetite.

"Sect Leader, this is unavoidable, you are the pillar of the sect, and the most important thing is to improve your cultivation!"

Zhang Tiancheng was flattered, although Gu An and Liu Ying didn't speak, they obviously meant the same thing.

"Let you eat as much as you want, where is there so much nonsense!"

Gu Zheng laughed and cursed, took a small fragrant pear from Liu Ying's hand, washed it with water, and put it in his mouth.

Sweet and crispy! Although the pears are small, they are also full of juice. The core part of the fruit melts in the mouth and becomes a warm current that settles in the dantian.

"It's delicious, it's different from the fruits outside!"

Gu Zheng smashed his mouth in aftertaste, Zhang Tiancheng and the others saw his resolute attitude, so they didn't say anything anymore, and ate Xiaoxiangli one after another, showing a look of satisfaction on their faces.

"Squeak..."

As if a roar came from not far away, a sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Zheng's mouth, and Zhang Tiancheng and the others immediately stood in front of him.

There are many rare birds and beasts in the Shu Ruins, and many of the so-called cultivation resources of human beings are their rations. The reason why Li Tiancheng heard it on the way, instead of bringing Gu Zheng over directly, was to make sure that Xiao Xiangli had been eaten by something.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a monkey with snow-white fur and two pairs of ears appeared in the sight of Gu Zheng and others. However, the four-eared monkey did not immediately rush to Gu Zheng and the others, but was on a big tree, scratching its ears and cheeks anxiously.

"It turned out to be a four-eared white monkey, a low-level spirit beast."

Zhang Tiancheng said the monkey's name, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There are many spirit beasts in Shu Ruins, and the ancestors also divided their strengths.

The low level is equivalent to the internal energy practitioners of the first and second levels, the middle level is equivalent to the inner strength practitioners of the third and fourth levels, and the high level is equivalent to the practitioners of the fifth level. And those above the fifth floor are fairy-level spirit beasts. The white cats currently in Emei are actually fairy-level spirit beasts, but there are very few spirit beasts outside.

There are fairy-level spirit beasts in the Shu Ruins. Many years ago, when the Shu Ruins opened, several sects of disciples had encountered fairy-level spirit beasts. At that time, among all the sects that entered the Shu Ruins, Emei suffered the most serious damage. Three of the four late-level elders were wiped out by fairy-level spirit beasts. After that ranking event, Emei's ranking directly Lost two.

"Squeak..."

The more he looked at the pear tree without the little fragrant pear, the more furious the four-eared white monkey became. It irrationally rushed towards Zhang Tiancheng who was at the front without regard for life and death, and its small paws had a metallic luster.

"Go to hell!"

Zhang Tiancheng pushed out a palm, and his inner strength directly smashed the four-eared white monkey's skull, sending it flying.

Zhang Tiancheng, who went forward, chopped off the four paws of the four-eared white monkey with a sword, then disemboweled it, and took out a shimmering bead from its belly.

All that Zhang Tiancheng has done may seem cruel, but this is the world of cultivators, and it is also a microcosm of the world of cultivators.

The spirit beasts and monsters in the outside world have higher intelligence than ordinary beasts, and they can open up their spiritual intelligence, produce inner alchemy, transform into humans, and have boundless mana.

In the Shu Ruins, there is only one kind of spirit beast, and it is different from the ones in the outside world.

The spirit beasts in the Shu Ruins are a little less intelligent than those in the outside world, and not much stronger than ordinary beasts, just like this four-eared white monkey who knows how to live or die. It is much more difficult for them to open up their intelligence and even become fairy-level spirit beasts than the spirit beasts in the outside world. However, this kind of spirit beasts also have their advantages. They are born with 'spiritual pills'. Their initial strength, and even high-level spirit beasts, have advantages over the spirit beasts in the outside world, and their reproductive ability is very strong.

The inner alchemy is obtained by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon through continuous cultivation, while the spiritual alchemy is innately available. Both are beads in the body of spirit beasts, and the value of inner alchemy is much higher than that of spiritual alchemy.

But even so, in the degenerate era where cultivation resources are scarce, panacea is still an absolute good thing. It can be used to refine many medicines, including the one that can directly enhance inner strength.

The cultivation resources in the Shu Ruins are divided into three categories.

The first resource: different fruit resources.

The second largest resource: spirit beast resources.

The third largest resource: minerals and herbs.

Different fruit resources refer to those fruits that can directly increase cultivation. Each sect has its corresponding different fruit resource area in Shu Ruins.

Spiritual beast resources refer to spirit pills, and all the things that can be used for "refinement" on the spiritual beast.

In fact, minerals are the same as exotic fruits. They all have resource areas corresponding to the ranking of sects. The ores in the resource areas can also be used for alchemy and various "refining". .

As for the herbal resources, they are not ginseng and ganoderma in the traditional sense, but the unique herbs in the Shu Ruins, and collecting them has a special purpose.

Although Gu Zheng has the method of food cultivation, among the three major resources in the Shu Ruins, the only ones that are useful to him among the spiritual beast resources are edible and high-grade meat. As for the mineral and herbal resources, they are not of much use to him for the time being, and the exotic fruit resources will be the option for him to focus on spending time on.

Zhang Tiancheng collected the resources contributed by the four-eared white monkey, and the group went on the road again. Not all the meat of spirit beasts can be eaten. Although the four-eared white monkey looks cute, its meat tastes sour and astringent, and the grade of the ingredients is really unsightly.

There are three small fragrant pear trees along the way, but it is a pity that two of them have been eaten by spirit beasts. On the only one that still had fruit, there was only one left. Gu Zheng let Zhang Tiancheng, who was about to advance, eat it. For this reason, he also beheaded a low-level spirit beast 'Gulu Pig', and the harvest was harvested. A panacea.

As for the harvest of food materials, Gu Zheng found more than seven catties of fungi along the way, and more than half of them were inferior chanterelles and leafy fungi. There is another half catty of ordinary fungus, which is a half catty of chicken fir collected near a termite nest.

Gu Zheng and others have already walked out of the forest, and there is a large sparse red area in front of them from a distance, which is the resource area to which the third branch belongs.

This resource area is a variety of fruit resources, including more than 100 red fruit trees, more than 50 spirit peach trees, and more than a dozen blood crystal grape trees, covering an area of ​​more than 50 acres.

Depending on the ranking, the number of fruit trees in the resource area is also different. But the same thing is that the ripening time of these strange fruits is all on the third day after the opening of the Shu Ruins.

The Shu Ruins are very large, divided into the periphery and the depths. The predecessors of Shushan have an enchantment between the periphery and the depths. Almost no spirit beasts can cross it, but people can go to the depths for adventure.

The strength of the surrounding spirit beasts is basically not high, and because of some spirituality, they instinctively do not destroy immature herbs and exotic fruits. After all, they have great benefits from eating these things. If you eat it at the right time, the benefits will be gone.

Under such a peculiar environment, every time the Shu Ruins opens, all sects and sects must go through a 'battle for the orchard'. The capable Shushan sect will drive away all the spirit beasts waiting in the orchard within a short period of time.

As for other sects, they need to compete with spirit beasts for territory every time, in order to live in peace and gain more resources. But there are also unlucky sects, such as a time a long time ago, when Wuyou and Wuchou were just children, the Emei sect entered the Shu Ruins was an elder of the late fifth floor.

But who would have thought that when Elder Emei reclaimed the orchard, he provoked a high-level spirit beast 'Chidi Fierce Bear'. Although he did not lose his life, he still could not enter the orchard. Picking the fruit, this incident was later regarded as a joke, and was ridiculed by other sects for a long time.

"Master, why don't the sects join forces to get rid of all the spirit beasts in the orchard first? If the power is divided, it will be difficult for other sects except Shushan!" Liu Ying asked.

"It's not that the people are fighting each other, but it's the rules set by the ancestors of Shushan. As for why such rules were set, some people say that the ancestors of Shushan hoped that the younger generations would follow the way of nature. Squeeze the spirit beasts too hard, in order to gain long-term benefits. Some people say that this is a little way for the ancestors of Shushan not to hope that the branch sects will surpass Shushan, anyway, they have everything to say." Gu Zheng smiled. .
