Chapter 119 Entering the Eternal Night Forest
The second elder instructed, "Once you're inside, remember to go in groups as much as possible and don't go alone. Although fighting is not allowed inside, there might be some short-sighted people who will try to snatch anything good from you. Don't be too calculating; in my experience, there are plenty of good things inside. Once you've planned it out, don't pick everything at once, otherwise there will be better things later that you won't get; and don't be too greedy either, otherwise you'll lose out if you don't pick enough when time runs out."
The disciples replied in unison, "We understand, thank you, Elder! Please rest assured, Elder."
The Second Elder said, "In that case, let's go in. The Ninth Elder and I will wait for you here."
The disciples bowed and took their leave.
There was no one guarding the entrance to the forest; anyone with an admission ticket could enter, which was convenient.
A large number of people had already gathered at the entrance, representing various sects.
When the time comes, the entrance will flash with golden light, and you can enter.
Everyone filed in.
Upon entering the forest, everyone drew their spirit swords, randomly chose a direction, and left.
After all, there are too many people at the entrance, so even if there are spiritual herbs, it's impossible to grab them all. It's better to go deeper into the forest to start searching again.
Lin Zhifeng and his group naturally stayed together and flew southeast on their swords.
Lin Zhifeng released the treasure-hunting rat from the sword.
His first question to the treasure-hunting rat was, "Are you feeling unwell? Don't push yourself."
The treasure-hunting mouse said, "Master, don't worry, this moonlight is not only harmless to me, but it's actually quite beneficial."
Lin Zhifeng said happily, "That's great. But you must be careful and tell me immediately if you feel unwell."
The treasure-hunting rat had already begun to sense the presence of the spirit herb, and said casually, "It's alright, don't worry."
Lin Zhifeng stood on the sword, carefully examining the legendary Eternal Night Forest.
Although it's called a forest, there aren't many trees; most are located on the edges. What you can see are mostly grasses and shrubs.
There weren't many shrubs, but the grass was as tall as a person and covered the entire forest.
The grass stems were thin and long, with white pom-poms at the top, swaying beautifully in the wind. Bathed in moonlight, they reflected a soft, silvery glow.
As Lin Zhifeng flew, he admired the beautiful scenery. By this time, the treasure-hunting rat had a basic idea of what was going on and said to Lin Zhifeng, "Master, there are many spiritual flowers and herbs here. Since you can only pick ten, is there anything you particularly want?"
Lin Zhifeng said, "I'm planning to refine the Nascent Soul Pill. Do you see if we have the main ingredient here? Let's try to collect enough so we won't have to go elsewhere to search for it when we leave. Wouldn't that save both money and effort?"
The treasure-hunting rat said, "But I see there are also the main ingredients for the Refining Void Pill here, which are even more precious than the main ingredients for the Transformation Spirit Pill. Wouldn't it be a pity not to take them?"
Lin Zhifeng said happily, "You're right. We should pick the most expensive ones first, that way we can get the best value for our money."
The treasure-hunting rat said, "Then listen to me, let's go and select ten of its main ingredients for the Refining Void Pill."
Lin Zhifeng said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. You're the professional!"
The treasure-hunting mouse was pleased with the praise and began to direct Lin Zhifeng to fly towards the target.
Lin Jun and the others were not far from him and were filled with envy after overhearing their conversation.
Lin Jun couldn't help but plead, "Little Lin, your treasure-hunting rat is amazing. After you've finished searching, could we brothers borrow it for a bit?"
Lin Zhifeng was fine with it; helping his brothers out was just normal, wasn't it?
Just as he was about to agree, the treasure-hunting rat spoke up first: "I can help, but I can't do it for nothing. What do you plan to give me as payment?"
Lin Jun immediately recognized the potential in this conversation and laughed, "Indeed, I can't use it for free. How much are you asking, Rat?"
The treasure-hunting rat said, "Later, I'll find some spiritual flowers and herbs for you. Each of you should give one to my master. How about that? I'll only take 10%, isn't that fair?"
Lin Jun said, "That makes perfect sense! We'll go along with it!"
The treasure-hunting rat said, "Is there anything you particularly want? Tell me first. But let me make this clear: the best things will go to my master first. I can only try my best to fulfill your requests, and don't blame me if I can't."
Lin Jun and the others said, "Of course, we'll definitely prioritize Lin Zhifeng. We'll just pick up the scraps."
The others chimed in, "We're mainly here for the main ingredients of the Divine Transformation Pill, so just try your best to find those for us."
The treasure-hunting mouse said, "Okay, I understand. I will try my best to satisfy you."
After saying that, it asked Lin Zhifeng, "Master, should we look for you first, and then help them look for each of them one by one, or..."
Lin Zhifeng said, "Let's look as we go. It would be too time-consuming to look for them one by one. By the time our turn comes, some people might not have been called yet, which would be a shame."
The treasure-hunting mouse felt underestimated and was about to retort.
Lin Zhifeng added, "You need to understand, this isn't just a place for us. If you see something good, you have to grab it, otherwise someone else will take it."
The treasure-hunting mouse thought that what he said made sense, so it stopped talking.
Lin Zhifeng said to his brothers, "Fellow senior brothers, do we all have the same plan? To search for the main ingredient of the Divine Transformation Pill here?"
Lin Jun leaned closer and whispered, "Little Lin, I told the brothers about what you told me last time. Everyone was very happy and wanted your help. So this time, they're all here for the main ingredient of the Divine Transformation Pill. Everyone's thinking of finding as much as they can, and then spending money to find the rest."
Lin Zhifeng said, "If that's the case, can everyone trust me, their junior brother?"
The others said, "Hey, we've been brothers for so many years! We've been through thick and thin together, what is there to distrust?"
Lin Zhifeng said, "In that case, are you willing to follow my instructions for this harvesting activity?"
Everyone said, "We'll listen to you! We'll listen to you! We're not as smart as you."
Lin Zhifeng said, "Then let's arrange it like this: We'll travel as a group, and I'll have the treasure-hunting rat lead us to find the medicinal herbs we need. When we find herbs, don't worry about whether they're duplicates or not; one person should keep them first. Once we have nine herbs, we'll switch to the next person. When everyone has nine herbs, we'll each take one and leave."
"After we get back, everyone should hand over what they have gained this time to me. I will be responsible for finding someone to refine it into a Divine Transformation Pill, and then I will give each of them one pill."
"I wonder if everyone can accept this arrangement?" Lin Zhifeng asked finally.
Lin Jun and the others all said, "Okay, okay, we'll listen to you."
Seeing that everyone trusted him so much and cooperated so well, Lin Zhifeng couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"You should all prepare yourselves mentally and go back to seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Once you've broken through, we'll go have some fun somewhere else."
Upon hearing that they were going out to have some fun, everyone was eager to go, but at the same time, they were worried that they wouldn't be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
I'm both excited and worried!
