You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 452 Enjoying the Joy of Harvest

"No, at times like this, there must be herbalists living at the bottom of the valley."

Shi Zelan rejected Shi Xiaoliu's kindness and said, "Let's go to the mountains when we get up early tomorrow morning.

You have been busy practicing these days and have hardly left the mountaintop many times."

Xia Yu agreed with Shi Zelan's proposal: "Okay."

Shi Xiaoliu looked at their expressions, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then let's go a little further inside, and you can accompany me to pick some herbs."

"Well, Xiaoliu, you haven't been to the city to sell herbs for a long time."

"Yes, it's been several years. I kind of miss the days of picking herbs, refining them, and then going to the city to sell them."

When Xia Yu heard Shi Xiaoliu's words, he also thought of the days when he collected herbs and responded immediately.

Then the three of them went back to their rooms to meditate and practice. When Qicheng Zhenren and the other two came back, they saw that there was no one on the top of the mountain again.

Master Qicheng said to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng with some concern: "The three little ones are trying too hard. Do you think this is a good thing?"

Master Decheng smiled and said, "Xiaoliu's personality is just too easy-going. I am very pleased that he is now able to practice so hard."

Shanzheng Zhenren explained to Qicheng Zhenren: "Lan Jie'er and Xia Yu are both self-disciplined people, you really don't have to worry, let's go back to our room and meditate and practice."

Master Qicheng thought about Xia Yu's past actions and felt relieved. He sighed, "The child is very talented and works so hard. I really dare not slack off for a moment."

After a while, the wind blew over the top of the mountain, and the top of the mountain was very quiet.

The next day, the sky was bright and Xia Yu woke up early. He stood on the edge of the mountain and looked at the people who were already queuing up to go up the mountain.

Shi Zelan walked out of the room and saw Xia Yu standing on the edge of the mountain. He came over and watched the people who were climbing the mountain with him.

Xia Yu whispered to Shi Zelan, "Now the official road is full of stalls set up by people from nearby villages. They sell water and their own fruits in the morning.

In the evening, they sell the vegetables they grow themselves.”

Shi Zelan smiled and said to Xia Yu: "I don't know if Xiaoliu will come out this time, let's wait for him for a while."

"Are you planning to go to the official road to watch the fun?"

After hearing what Xia Yu said, Shi Zelan gave him a thumbs up and said, "Xia Yu, now that Wanyu has a master's wife, will her life be very lively?"

Xia Yu glared at her unhappily: "Uncle Jun's personality is such that he would never look for a meddling female cultivator."

Shi Zelan glanced at him and said, "When a woman's beauty is alluring, I'm afraid your uncle Jun won't think too much about it."

Shi Xiaoliu walked out of the room and saw the two of them coming over. He also heard what Shi Zelan said. He glared at Shi Zelan and said, "You, you are talking nonsense again. Uncle Jun and Aunt Jun are both our elders."

"Xiao Liu, you are right. I believe in Uncle Jun's way of dealing with things and his vision."

The three of them walked out from the back of the mountain and soon joined the group of people climbing the mountain, listening to them laughing and talking about the fun of the day.

"It was dark when Brother Liu woke me up. I thought we were the first to arrive, but there was already a long line at the foot of the mountain."

“I came here once in the spring, and after I came home, I felt that everything went much more smoothly.

I hope everything will go smoothly when I go up the mountain again this time."

Shi Xiaoliu passed a message to Shi Zelan: "This man is kind and honest. He is the type who only cares about a little wealth."

Shi Zelan then looked up at the person who was speaking, and then passed on the message to Shi Xiaoliu: "A virtuous wife at home will bring prosperity to the family."

"Have you seen any jade mines on this mountain?"

"puff.

Are you kidding me? Is there really a jade mine on this mountain? Will the government allow so many of us to go up there for fun?"

"But in the early years, the government arranged people to guard the mountain. This is always the fact."

“There must be a reason why the government arranged for people to guard the area, and it also makes sense for us to go up the mountain now.

Why do you, a little kid, think about so many things?
You're going up the mountain to look for treasure?"

"I dare not, I'm just curious."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other and the person who was talking, then they followed the person in front of them and turned into the small path.

Some people went deeper into the mountains, while those on the trail continued to move forward.

After a while, they turned back to the main road, and the people in front had already walked far away.

They really went to the mountain to take a walk, admire the scenery, and then found a place to sit down and chat for a while.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two followed them all the time, and when they were about to go down the mountain, the three of them stayed on the mountain.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two quickly walked along the path until there were no more pedestrians ahead.

Shi Xiaoliu whispered to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu, "Let's go to the forest ahead."

Xia Yu reminded, "I want to pick some leaves to take back today."

"Okay, when we come back, we'll pick some more leaves."

Shi Xiaoliu walked in front. He took out a machete and cleared a path. The three of them walked into another forest.

There were herbs everywhere on the mountain. Shi Zelan saw them and said happily, "There are so many herbs. Why don't herbalists come here to collect them?"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "The woods here are too deep for them."

"There are no wild animals here, so it's actually quite safe."

In the past, the roars of wild beasts could be heard on this mountain. However, when Shi Zelan and Xia Yu were building their foundation, the noise of thunder and lightning was so loud that the wild beasts were frightened and fled in panic.

There was no one nearby, so Shi Xiaoliu and the other two simply waved their hands, bringing up a layer of herbs, and the soil was blown back to the ground by the wind.

Shi Zelan took out a basket and took the herbs. He said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Xiaoliu, these herbs still need to be cleaned."

"Okay, wait until I fill two baskets of herbs, and then we'll go to the river and wash them."

After the three of them had picked most of the herbs that could be picked on the mountain, they walked further inside.

An hour later, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were already squatting by the river washing the herbs, and they moved very quickly.

Before the afternoon, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two had already walked out of the mountains, and at this time the people on the mountain were also walking down the mountain.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two stood there and waited for a while before they turned to collect leaves.

The three of them collected a lot of leaves and carefully cleaned up the traces of their presence.

As for the fresh traces left by collecting leaves, Xia Yu cleaned them up using the spiritual value technique.

The three of them returned to the top of the mountain and were busy drying the medicinal herbs.

The entire rooftop was covered with herbs that the three of them had dried.

Shi Zelan stood on the edge of the mountain, looking at the herbs on the roof with great accomplishment, and said to Shi Xiaoliu: "This is the feeling of harvest."

Xia Yu laughed when she heard her words: "In the fall, do you want to help the farmers harvest the crops?"

Shi Zelan shook her head happily: "When I return to the sect, I will plant a piece of land by myself and enjoy the joy of harvest."
