The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 154 Looking for Zhu Guo

"Senior! If someone fails the trial, will they be trapped in this mysterious space?"

Chen Jinshu voiced the question that had been bothering him.

"I have guarded this Yin-Yang Boundary Stele for many years and tested countless disciples, but I never expected to hear such a sound."

The aged voice carried a hint of self-mockery, as if mocking the thankless task of assessing disciples over the years.

"The boundary marker assessment was set up by my master when he created me. Its purpose was to leave some inheritance for cultivators in the cultivation world before I became an immortal. The trial is only for assessment purposes and will not imprison people at will. The deadline is three days. If you fail the assessment, you will go back to where you came from."

"This disciple will certainly vindicate you, senior!"

"Reputation means nothing to me. I only hope to see my master again someday..."

The old man's leisurely voice slowly disappeared into the void, and the surrounding scenery distorted and changed.

After Chen Jinshu put away the alchemy manual, he was once again absorbed by a suction force and then teleported outside by the spirit of the Yin-Yang Boundary Stele.

She had just steadied herself when she smelled the familiar scent of grass all around her.

"It's finally out."

She glanced around at her surroundings. In front of her was still a black and white stone tablet, and the place where she had been teleported was now five zhang away from the stone tablet.

It seems that after the stone tablet takes people to the assessment, although it will eventually send them back, their location may change slightly.

"I was actually the first one to finish the trial?"

Chen Jinshu realized that there was no one around and quickly understood what was going on.

The members of the Feng family were the first to enter the boundary marker space for assessment, but there was no one outside at this time.

It's unlikely they've already finished their assessments and left, since everyone's trials are different.

The whole process takes three days, and some people will always be slower.

Given the unity among the Feng family members after encountering the demonic cultivator, it's unlikely they would leave alone. If someone were to come out, they would most likely be waiting outside.

"Since there are still three days left, let's wait for three days. While we're at it, let's look for the Blood Vermilion Fruit near Dragon Eye Pool."

She and her two senior brothers searched carefully for a long time, but they couldn't even find the plant of the Blood Vermilion Fruit.

If someone had gotten there first, that would have been fine; she was just late. But they hadn't even seen the plant.

This indicates that the Blood Vermilion Fruit grows in an extremely hidden corner.

Near Longyan Pool are only a few hillsides, three to five meters high, covered with dense vegetation and weeds, but there are no high peaks.

That's why it's not easy to find.

Various plants grow together in a crisscross pattern, and the Blood Vermilion Fruit might be hidden among them.

The area around here is quite large, so finding it is not an easy task.

"Wait a minute! The Blood Vermilion Fruit tastes similar to the Crimson Fire Grass. Maybe the Yinshan Sparrow has a good sense of smell."

Chen Jinshu suddenly thought of something, and immediately took out the Yinshan Sparrow, then let it carefully savor the scent of the Red Fire Grass.

Crimson Fire Grass can be found in many elixirs and prescriptions, so she planted a small plot of land in her spiritual plant space.

"Master! This tastes a bit fishy and spicy!" Yinshan Sparrow said, not quite liking the smell.

"Red Fire Grass is a spiritual herb with a fiery nature, so it's normal for it to have a spicy taste, but the fishy smell is still tolerable."

"Quickly try to see if there are any similar ones nearby."

After receiving the instruction, the Yinshan Tit began to fly high into the sky towards the surrounding hillsides.

At its speed, it would only take a moment to fly several circles over these high slopes.

A moment later, the Yinshan Sparrow flew excitedly to her and said, "Master! There's a similar scent on that hillside in that corner!"

"It really works!" Chen Jinshu was pleasantly surprised. She had only wanted to try it out, but she didn't expect the method to actually work.

In this way, when we go to a resource-rich area to find medicinal herbs in the future, we only need to let the Yinshan Sparrow taste the similar scent of the herbs to have a greater chance of finding them, which can save a lot of time from exploring alone.

"You did a good job this time. I'll catch some fish for you to eat later!"

Then Chen Jinshu was led by the Yinshan Sparrow to a small but densely vegetated hillside.

This hillside is not much different from the others, except that the temperature here is slightly higher and it is a bit farther from Longyan Pool.

In addition, there are slightly more mythical beasts living there.

Based on these clues, Chen Jinshu felt that there was a great chance of finding the Blood Vermilion Fruit this time.

The Yinshan tit transformed into a small one and led the way, soon hopping to the front of an extremely lush patch of grass.

The grass was slightly lighter in color compared to the other vegetation.

"Is there any danger?" Chen Jinshu asked telepathically.

“There are a few small snakes lying in wait.” The Yinshan Sparrow stopped about ten feet away from the bushes and turned to look at Chen Jinshu.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu casually took out the Azure Frost Sword from his storage bag.

If we were to use the Green Jade Zither for everything, it would be making a mountain out of a molehill.

Any special spiritual object will have a guardian spirit beast nearby, so it's highly likely that the Blood Vermilion Fruit is growing in the grass ahead.

"Use your teleportation technique to fly around in circles at high altitude, as fast as possible. Once this little snake shows its head, I will make my move immediately!"

"Alright!" The Yinshan Sparrow nodded, quickly transforming into the size of a crow, and swiftly flew towards the light-colored grass ahead.

A blue afterimage flew low through the sky, passing directly over the grass.

Seeing that the little snake had not yet launched an attack, the Yinshan Tit flew around a few more times.

In an instant, three small blue snakes launched an attack decisively, flying towards the attackers with their bloody mouths wide open like springs.

With lightning speed, Chen Jinshu wielded his Qing Shuang sword like a spinning dart, slicing several pale blue circles in the air above the grass and severing the three small green snakes in half.

"So they were just three little green snakes. With such low cultivation levels, they've even started guarding the spiritual herbs."

Chen Jinshu quickly brought the Azure Frost Sword back to its original position, then strolled to the front of the grass and gently lifted the grass.

Before her appeared a dark green plant, only about ten inches long, with eight or nine fruits growing on it, each radiating a bright red glow and a faint fluorescence around it.

"Finally found!"

She checked the ripeness of the Blood Vermilion Fruit; it was ripe.

She quickly picked the fruit and packed it into a wooden box; there were nine in total.

As for the plants, she didn't let them go either. After confirming the soil environment where the plants were located, she immediately used transplanting techniques to move them into pots.

She plans to return to her sect and then transplant the plants all at once.

Otherwise, she felt somewhat unsafe moving in and out of the cave.

Before entering the cave, she had prepared a large number of potted plants with soil already in them, specifically for transplanting.

"Since you've found them, I'll grant you two. How about I give you one for every one you find?"

Chen Jinshu casually buried a Blood Vermilion Fruit in the original soil and said.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, the Yinshan Sparrow resumed its search for the Blood Vermilion Fruit.

On this hilltop, it found two more plants scattered in a very hidden corner, with only six fruits.

Then, they found a plant with eleven fruits on another hillside.
