Chapter 697 - 633: Stepping onto the Peak 42 (4,000 Words)_2
The mud was washed away, revealing two young faces. They were dressed in Wuji Sect attire, and the Spiritual Power fluctuations on them were both at Warrior Level. No wonder they couldn’t react quickly enough after entering the Secret Realm and ended up in the mud pile.
After being washed clean by Shuangshuang, the two finally regained consciousness and quickly stood up to bow and thank Shuangshuang.
One of the taller boys said, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for saving us just now. My name is Qian Mu, and this is my junior brother Ling Zhan. We are disciples of Wuji Sect. Although you seem unfamiliar, I don’t know if you’re a disciple of Li Tian Sect or another family. My brother and I will definitely repay Senior Sister in the future."
Shuangshuang didn’t care whether they repayed her or not. It was merely a lift of a hand, and she didn’t do much. She replied indifferently, "I am also from an affiliated family of Wuji Sect and will join Wuji Sect in the future. We are all fellow disciples, no need to be too polite. Besides, it’s not a big deal, just led you two for a while, hardly a life-saving grace."
Shuangshuang didn’t care, but Qian Mu and Ling Zhan couldn’t help but care. Earlier, when they fell into the swamp, it seemed there was something strange about it that sealed their Spiritual Power, causing them to be bitten by peculiar creatures.
If not for Shuangshuang’s rescue, Qian Mu and Ling Zhan might have died in the swamp just after entering the Secret Realm, which would have been too frustrating.
"Although Senior Sister doesn’t mind, we can’t help but feel grateful. Please tell us your name so my brother and I can repay your life-saving grace in the future." Qian Mu spoke again, his tone very firm.
Ling Zhan also chimed in, "The simple effort of Senior Sister just now genuinely saved us from dangerous peril. We naturally cannot forget this life-saving grace."
Seeing Qian Mu and Ling Zhan persistently entangled, Shuangshuang didn’t want to waste time. She casually said, "My name is Shuangshuang. That was just a casual rescue; I don’t need you to repay me. There’s no need for this from you two."
After speaking, Shuangshuang turned and left. She still wanted to find Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Fruit, Spirit Flower, or other similar things, ideally something that Fei Hu could consume.
Shuangshuang intended to separate from Qian Mu and Ling Zhan; she carried a big secret. The Space Bracelet given to her by Si Kaojing hadn’t been discovered by the elder who previously used a spell on everyone’s Storage Bag.
This meant Shuangshuang had a Space Bracelet that allowed her to store things freely without worrying about being discovered, enabling her to gather some personal goods instead of being like others who couldn’t put anything in their pockets.
With this secret, Shuangshuang wasn’t willing to travel with anyone. However, Qian Mu and Ling Zhan instinctively followed Shuangshuang. Earlier, they sensed that Shuangshuang’s cultivation was extremely high, reaching Martial Master Level, but couldn’t discern which stage due to their low cultivation.
Shuangshuang initially just focused on finding Spiritual Medicine. This Secret Realm had been closed for an unknown duration, with Spiritual Medicine scattered everywhere. Shuangshuang easily spotted several precious Spiritual Medicines without much searching.
Shuangshuang lowered her head and began to pick them. Collecting Spiritual Medicine wasn’t easy. Without a thorough understanding, one could easily impair the medicinal properties due to improper picking methods.
Shuangshuang concentrated wholeheartedly on picking Spiritual Medicine, working very diligently, without paying attention to Qian Mu and Ling Zhan following behind her.
Luckily, these two were also busy picking herbs. However, Ling Zhan and Qian Mu couldn’t simply start picking like Shuangshuang. They held a comprehensive guidebook on picking Spiritual Medicine, identifying the herbs while following the book’s instructions on picking them.
After picking several herbs, Shuangshuang luckily encountered Spiritual Medicine beneficial for Fei Hu, the Beast Spirit Fruit. Just from the name, it’s clear this fruit is specifically for Magic Beast consumption.
The benefits for Magic Beasts eating Beast Spirit Fruits are numerous. Firstly, a Beast Spirit Fruit is a top-grade delicacy for Magic Beasts. Additionally, Beast Spirit Fruits can enhance their intelligence, broaden their meridians, and slightly refine them. However, the downside is that effects are extremely slow, requiring long-term consumption.
These Beast Spirit Fruits aren’t High-level Spirit Fruits, and they’re extremely yield-rich. It was Fei Hu who discovered the Beast Spirit Fruit because the Spirit Fruit Tree was growing on a cliff by a canyon. Following the scent, Fei Hu found them and compelled Shuangshuang to help pick the fruit.
