ITBBS Chapter 29

“Xiao Ling, is it large animals or people coming?”

Shen Yao was puzzled. Wasn’t this place hidden? She had only arrived here yesterday, so why was there already an unexpected situation today?

“Master, it’s a large group of people. Among them are four ancient martial arts practitioners, and the rest are also trained fighters. They are all armed and are now preparing to enter this mountain.”

Xiao Ling wasn’t sure. Could these people be coming for this valley paradise? Logically speaking, no one should know about this place, since even she herself couldn’t detect it with her divine sense.

Shen Yao looked at the white ball in her arms and stroked it with a troubled expression. She felt that these people were indeed coming for this place. It seemed she was in for some trouble today.

“Little one, you’ve really gotten Sister into deep trouble.”

She felt that her days ahead would not be peaceful. Non-existent tears streamed down her heart. How she wished she could turn back time. She would never again be fooled just because the other party was a cute little puppy.

Awoo~ The little white wolf heard beautiful Big Sister’s voice, looked up to respond, and then wore an expression that said, “What happened?” It hadn’t done anything at all. Why did Big Sister have that look on her face?

“You, acting all innocent. The moment I followed you here, a large group of people shows up today.”

Thinking about all the things she had collected from this fairyland, she hadn’t even had a chance to look through them carefully yet. Since she couldn’t go outside right now, she might as well go into the space and take a look. So she flashed into the space with the white ball in her arms.

“Xiao Ling, use your divine sense to monitor their movements and conversations.”

Seeing Xiao Ling hovering in the air, she realized that her mental power wasn’t strong enough yet, so she had to rely on Xiao Ling’s divine sense to monitor them. That way, she could formulate a plan.

“Okay, Master. They have already entered the edge of the deep mountains.”

Xiao Ling knew this was no time for jokes. Only by knowing the enemy’s every move could her master deal with them more easily.

“Come on, let’s go see the things I brought in from the fairyland.”

Holding the white ball and with Xiao Ling perched on her shoulder, Shen Yao walked to the black soil field in front of the courtyard. When the space upgraded, it had given her ten acres of land, which she had never planted. Today, she finally put them to use.

However, the sheer volume of resources from the fairyland and the valley was too much. Ten acres weren’t nearly enough. So she transplanted almost everything from the fairyland onto the mountains inside her space.

She looked at the medicinal herbs planted in the field before her. To ordinary people, these herbs could strengthen the body, but to ancient martial artists, they could improve internal energy and raise levels.

“Master, the most precious medicinal herbs you brought in from the fairyland are all planted in the medicinal garden.”

Xiao Ling knew everything about these medicinal plants and treasures. They were exactly what cultivators needed most. Moreover, the herbs her master had collected included species that had long gone extinct in the world.

Although danger was approaching outside, it couldn’t dampen Shen Yao’s joyful mood. She had really struck gold this time. She happily squeezed and rubbed the white ball before heading to the medicinal garden.

Shen Yao looked at the various precious medicinal herbs in the garden. She had dug up quite a few ginseng and reishi. What caught her eye the most was the purple ginseng and the blood-red reishi. She had never encountered such varieties before.

“Master, those are Purple King Ginseng, Blood Reishi, and Fire Lotus Golden Cloud Reishi. They are all long-extinct herbs with the effects of transforming the body and bringing the dead back to life.”

These were rare medicinal herbs that even the cultivation world would fight over, let alone the ancient martial artists of this ordinary world. Fire Lotus Golden Cloud Reishi could be used to make Bone-Healing Paste, the best medicine for mending bones and meridians. They were all priceless treasures.

“And what about that red fruit over there?” Since she had never studied spiritual plants and herbs, she really didn’t understand how precious these medicines were.

“That red fruit is called a Vermilion Fruit. Eating one can directly increase your internal energy by twenty years.”

This fruit was something everyone in the ancient martial arts world would fight over, let alone in this mortal world. This world had no spiritual energy. For cultivators to increase their power even once was extremely difficult. So one could imagine the value of this fruit.

“Master, you can eat one Vermilion Fruit now to raise your internal energy. When the trouble arrives later, you’ll be safer.”

Xiao Ling didn’t want her master to be in danger. Once she ate the Vermilion Fruit, her strength would be even greater.

“Alright, I’ll eat one Vermilion Fruit first and then focus on digesting its power.”

As soon as Shen Yao heard Xiao Ling describe the fruit’s effects, her eyes lit up. There was nothing better than this fruit. She truly was the heavens’ daughter. Good things kept coming to her. She was so touched!

After eating one fruit, she tossed the pit into the medicinal garden to plant and then entered a cultivation state. This fruit was truly a treasure. A deep internal energy constantly flowed through every meridian in her body.

As time passed, Shen Yao, who was deep in a meditative state, opened her eyes. It really wasn’t an ordinary fruit. After digesting the entire fruit’s power, her internal energy had multiplied countless times.

“Master, have you finished digesting it? That group of people will reach the mountaintop in about two hours. From their conversation, they are indeed coming for the fairyland’s treasures.”

Xiao Ling felt the timing of this group of people was too coincidental. Could there be a divination master in this world? Otherwise, how would they know about this place?

“Alright, I understand. I’ll change my gear and go out.”

Since those people were coming for the fairyland’s treasures, a confrontation was inevitable. This place was too beautiful. She didn’t want them to come and destroy even a single blade of grass or a single tree here.

Shen Yao quickly disguised herself as a young man. She didn’t want to face them with her real appearance, or it would bring disaster to Shenjia Village. Disguise was the best choice.

She picked up the white ball, left the space, and had it lead the way. “Let’s go, little one. I’ll need you to guide me out.”

Awoo~ The white ball rubbed against Shen Yao’s palm and then dashed forward.

Shen Yao ran all the way with the white ball, using her wind ability to assist her. In the end, she exited the valley in one hour.

“Alright, go back into the space and stay there.” Shen Yao stroked the white ball of fur and put it into her space. She wouldn’t be able to look after it later.

She adjusted her condition, found a giant tree that was best for hiding, and quickly climbed up into its branches to conceal herself.

“Big Brother, are we really going to split the treasure equally with the Chen family? Should we just…” Qin Zhihe, the second son of the Qin family, made a throat-slitting gesture.

“Act after we open the mechanism.” Qin Zhishan’s face was calm, revealing no emotion.

“Second Brother, should we…” Chen Hongwen, the third son of the Chen family, also made a throat-slitting gesture.

“Of course!” Chen Hongjiang nodded with a grim expression.

Tsk! Shen Yao didn’t expect that as soon as she extended her mental power, she would overhear such an interesting conversation. This was going to be fun!
