Chapter 766 Going to the Great Abyss

Pu Yanlan stepped forward and pointed at the spiritual herb. The spiritual herb trembled all over, its roots softened, and it fell to the ground. Pu Yanlan pointed and pulled it out of the soil, took out the jade box and put it in it, but held it in her palm and looked at it. Gu Shiyi saw that she was very happy.

"Yan'er, what kind of spiritual herb is this?"

Pu Yanlan said happily,

"This is the February fruit... This herb is on my list..."

Gu Shiyi was also delighted when he heard this.
"What is the use of this spiritual herb?"

Pu Yanlan said with a smile,
"This herb cannot be used as medicine, but it can be used to refine instruments. Especially when refining space instruments, it can be used as a blend between the various raw materials..."

After a pause, he said again,
"This spiritual herb has already awakened, and it is at least three thousand years old. It would be a pity to use it like this. I will move it to the medicine garden, and when it reaches four thousand years old, I will take two of its fruits..."

The magic array in the medicine garden that is specially used to cultivate spiritual herbs and medicines can make the cultivation process twice as efficient with half the effort. A thousand years of cultivation can be completed in less than three hundred years.

The February Fruit on Pu Yanlan's list is the easiest to find, but there is also the Thousand-Year Golden Moon Flowing Fire, the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Vein Jade Marrow, and the fur of the Pijin Beast, which are the hardest to find!
The two lived in Rhino Mountain for half a year and gained a lot. One day, Gu Shiyi changed into men's clothes and went down to Rhino Town for a stroll. He saw a caravan from the south selling furs. It is said that there are many mountains in Nanming Country, and there are many animals in the mountains, so there is no shortage of furs. However, the people of Nanming have never seen this kind of fur. The hair is thick, and each strand is clearly visible when you blow it. The black one is shiny and glossy, and it faintly reveals a colorful halo. Even Gu Shiyi, who is knowledgeable, took a few more glances. The vendor was also sharp-eyed. Seeing that Gu Shiyi had a different temperament, he hurriedly called out to him.
"Sir, come and take a look! This is genuine otter fur from the Abyss!"

The land of the abyss?

Gu Shiyi became interested and went over to ask,
"You are from the land of the abyss?"

The merchant nodded repeatedly.
"Yes! Yes! This is the real fur of the otter beast from the Great Abyss. It is waterproof, fireproof, and oilproof. If you make it into a cloak and wear it, it will keep you warm from head to toe!"

Nanming is a country with many mountains, and the mountains are damp and cold, so this fur is very suitable. Gu Shiyi smiled and looked at the fur in the vendor's hand and asked,
"The Great Abyss is more than three thousand miles away from here. How did you get here?"

The vendor replied,

"The Great Abyss is a land of water and marshes. We can take a boat all the way. After leaving the Great Abyss, we walked a thousand miles by land, then entered the Southern Ming Kingdom and walked a section of the waterway..."

The Southern Ming Kingdom is mountainous, which means there are many canyons. Between the canyons are rivers formed by streams flowing down from the high mountains. Some sections are turbulent, while some sections are relatively flat, so you can take a boat at this time!
Gu Shiyi was surprised when he heard this.

"After walking so far, won't your furs be sold at a sky-high price?"

The vendor smiled bitterly.
"The Southern Ming Kingdom is not wealthy. Even if I want to ask for a sky-high price, no one will buy it..."

After a pause, he said again,
"We came here to buy some ironware, cloth and the like. These furs are just to earn money to feed the horses!"

"Oh... buy some ironware and cloth to take back. Do you lack ironware and cloth?"

The vendor nodded hurriedly.

"That's right, we are in short supply..." After Gu Shiyi chatted with the merchant for a few sentences, he learned that this caravan was entrusted by the emperor of Dayuan to go to Nanming to purchase ironware. They were also doing business for the country, and the round-trip expenses were covered by someone else. Selling furs was just a side profit!

It turned out that the land of the abyss was a swamp. The entire country was built in a huge swamp. There were countless aquatic products in the swamp, so there was no worry about food and clothing, but there was an extreme shortage of minerals, especially ironware. Not to mention swords, spears, and the like, even iron pots and iron spoons used by the people to make fire and cook, and kitchen knives were hard to come by. Also, the people there mostly wore clothes made from silk spun from giant lotus roots produced in the water. Although it was cool in the summer, it was not cold-resistant in the winter, so they needed some clothing materials such as cotton to make winter clothes.

Therefore, the emperor of the Great Abyss would send caravans to various places every year to collect ironware, cloth and the like. The Southern Ming Kingdom was mountainous and had the most minerals, so the merchants came here!
Gu Shiyi was very excited after hearing this. He asked how many days the caravan would stay here, and then went back to discuss it with Pu Yanlan.
"Why don't we follow them all the way to the Great Abyss?"

Pu Yanlan had also been here for a long time, and nodded when she heard this.

"It's just perfect to follow the caravan and look for treasure along the way!"

The Jin Er couple were naturally more willing. The Great Abyss was a swampland, which was the most suitable place for exotic beasts like them. They packed up their things and went down the mountain to find the caravan. Gu Shiyi was generous and bought all the furs of the caravan in one go. He then said to the leader of the caravan,
"I have some connections in the Southern Ming Kingdom. If you want to buy ironware, cloth, or something like that, I can introduce you to them!"

The merchants had come with a mission from the Emperor of the Great Abyss, and they were overjoyed when they heard this.

“That’s great!”

So the leading merchant decided to sell the otter furs to Gu Shiyi at half price. After Gu Shiyi accepted it with a smile, he sent the message to Lao Ma, who came immediately after hearing the news. His business in Southern Ming Kingdom is now becoming more and more successful.

As soon as she appeared, she was wearing silk and satin, a golden crown on her head, jewel rings on all ten fingers, and all kinds of sparkling necklaces around her neck. From head to toe, she looked like a nouveau riche who had no place to spend money and wished he had diamonds on his butt!

Gu Shiyi was amused. The merchants were amazed to see that Lao Ma was surrounded by servants and guards. They talked about business with Lao Ma. Everyone was very happy. When they heard that this young man with many connections in the Southern Ming Kingdom was going to travel with his wife to the Great Abyss with them, they naturally welcomed him.

"Mr. Gu is willing to come to the land of Dayuan. My humble family will be honored and will treat you and your wife as guests of honor!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and nodded,
"In this case, I will naturally trouble you all!"

After the deal was settled, the "couple" each had a big toad squatting on their shoulders and followed the caravan on the road. The leader of the caravan was named Feng, and everyone called him Feng Laoliu. Feng Laoliu was a very generous person, which reminded Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan of the fact that they had met a leader of a caravan in the past, named Huang Liuye, and they missed him very much!
Feng Laoliu had traveled far and wide, so naturally he had a different eye. He had long since realized that this couple were not ordinary people, so he was very polite to them. Seeing that they were just a couple and that the lady looked frail and taciturn, Feng Laoliu even specially called a maid to serve Mrs. Gu!

After receiving the instructions, the old woman also took care of the lady diligently and served her in various ways along the way. Although Mrs. Gu had a cold personality, she was quite generous. If the lady served well, she would reward her with small pieces of gold from time to time. When the old woman went back and told the other female relatives about it, all the maids were so envious!
Since this caravan successfully bought a lot of ironware from Manager Ma, they also completed their mission. So they only stayed in Nanming Kingdom for ten days before setting off back to Dayuan. Nanming Kingdom is mountainous and the mountain roads are difficult to travel, so they walked very slowly. This provided time for Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan to hunt for treasures. Whenever Mr. and Mrs. Jin Er had a sense, they would sneak out and bring back a spiritual herb or a spiritual flower from time to time. There were also many spiritual veins in various places in the mountains. When Mr. and Mrs. Jin Er came back to report, Gu Shiyi suddenly had an idea and took a piece of silk. He drew a map of the spiritual veins from Nanming Kingdom all the way to Dayuan on it, and then left it to Tianyi Sect. This can be regarded as leaving a considerable fortune for the younger generations of Tianyi Sect!

It is also said that Jin Er and his wife went out to look for treasure, while Gu Shiyi had nothing better to do to clear out the monsters along the way. It is said that the human race is not prosperous nowadays, but the monster race is prosperous. Nanming City is so far away from the land of Dayuan, and this caravan also hired immortal masters to guard it all the way back and forth!

Although there are not many sects of cultivators in this world, there are some who have gone down the mountain to travel and experience the world. The Dayuan sect of cultivation has some connections with the Dayuan royal family. With the entrustment of the emperor, they specially sent two cultivators in the foundation-building stage to guard all the way. Therefore, the caravan was able to arrive at the Southern Ming Kingdom safely. The same was true on the way back. There were many monsters along the way, but this time, not a single monster along the way came to harass them. It was so quiet that everyone was puzzled. Only Gu Shiyi and the others knew that with the presence of a true spirit, they only needed to release a trace of breath, and the monsters along the way would be so scared that they ran away with their tails between their legs after smelling it!
The return journey was smoother than the return journey. Feng Laoliu was so happy that he thanked the two immortal masters repeatedly, which made them suspicious.

"It's really strange. We didn't take any action along the way?"

No matter what, they finally got out of the Nanming Kingdom. The stream in the mountains flowed down from the heights, and after winding through the mountains, it became a gentle river after leaving the mountainous area of ​​the Nanming Kingdom. Therefore, at the junction of the Nanming Kingdom and the Dayuan land, a small plain rushed out. There was a big city here, which was Jiaozhou City, which belonged to the Nanming Kingdom. Jiaozhou City was located on the bank of the Huanglong River. It had fertile fields for thousands of miles and rich products. It was a famous wealthy city in the Nanming Kingdom.

Feng Laoliu's caravan was loading various ironware and cloth at the dock here. It would take three days to unload the goods. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan planned to stay in the city for three days. Jin Er and his wife were passing by.
When they were in Dishui Gorge, they found a magical herb. They had been out for a day and a night and had not returned yet. The two of them became a young couple. The husband had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was tall and strong, and had a handsome temperament, while the woman was petite and weak, and was outstandingly beautiful. They walked hand in hand on the crowded street, attracting the attention of passers-by, who secretly sighed that they were a perfect match.
