C72 (1/2)

After an unknown amount of time, the sun gradually set in the west, making the trek through the forest exceptionally difficult.

who was at the head of the platoon looked at the sky, then finally stopped his flying sword and said: ”It's enough, everyone rest for a bit.”

Everyone immediately slumped to the ground, the flying swords beneath their feet scattering to the ground. From the morning till now, they had been travelling almost non-stop, and they had yet to advance even by even a grain of rice!

”First of all, congratulations to all of you. Through the full speed of the day, according to the progress made, we will be able to reach our destination tomorrow. We can rest for the night.” Du Rui said while looking at everyone with his hands behind his back.

Hearing this, the female cultivator from the group couldn't help but pat her hands in celebration. The others also had expressions of 'finally saved'.

”However, I have unfortunate news to tell you that Junior Sister Tang and I have not prepared any food for you. If everyone is hungry, please take care of yourself.”

”It can't be?!”

Immediately, a bitter expression appeared on the faces of the few cultivators. At this moment, everyone finally understood why they had purposely ordered not to bring food and water. It was because they were waiting here.

There are many wild fruits that can be eaten all over the place. As long as you have a decent understanding of the herbs, filling your stomach is not difficult. If you are lucky, you might even be able to pick some rare herbs.

Just as Du Rui finished speaking, he heard Gu Jian laugh: ”Oh, isn't that 'Bejewelled Nectar'? I can use it to quench my thirst!”

As he said that, the ancient sword reached out and plucked a bunch of berries from a tree nearby. It didn't even wipe the berries off before directly tossing them into his mouth.

The next moment, he painfully vomited out.

”Pfft!” This … why is this nectar so bitter? ”

Du Rui sighed lightly, then smiled: ”Junior brother Gu Jian, that's not nectar, but jade dew seeds. Although they look very similar, jade dew seeds are used to make external medicine, and cannot be eaten. Quickly wash your mouth and rinse it to prevent your mouth from getting numb.”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. Everyone had heard of Qiushui Zi, but this was the first time they had heard of this Jade Dew Seed.

Looking at the junior brothers and sisters in a daze, Du Rui pursed his lips and laughed: ”Within ten thousand flower valley, we can almost see 60% of all the immortal plants and plants on the entire continent, this is also a test of your knowledge on medicinal herbs, so for you to be able to recognize 1/10 of the plants here is already not bad, where is Senior Brother Zhou Tong?”

While talking, Du Rui realized that the Successor Disciple had already disappeared without a trace, and after searching everywhere, he did not find anyone, so Du Rui was so anxious that he immediately stepped on his sword and prepared to search around.

”It's all edible. If you want to eat it, take it.”

Just as Du Rui was about to leave to find Zhou Tong, he saw Zhou Tong carrying a big pile of wild fruits and walking out of the forest. Without saying anything else, he threw the wild fruits on the ground, took three or five for himself, then sat to the side and started chewing them.

”What the f * ck!” Danxia Cinnamon '? ”Holy shit!” Leroy May '? ”Holy shit!” ”Cloud Immortal Peach!”

Looking at the immortal fruits on the ground, Du Rui could not help but curse out. These fruits were, without a doubt, edible and extremely tasty. However, even Du Rui was unable to differentiate all the varieties amongst them.

”May I ask Senior Brother Zhou Tong, to what extent has you have studied Medicinal Herbs Identification?” Swallowing his saliva, Du Rui asked timidly.

”Identification of medicinal herbs?” Zhou Tong took a bite of the fruit in his hand and thought for a moment, ”If you're talking about Flaming Island's [Exhaustion of all the medicinal herbs], then I think you're saying that after finishing the exam a few days ago, you did score a little over eighty.”

”Pfft!”

Du Rui almost vomited blood.

This course of Flaming Island's [Dissolution of Medicinal Materials] could be said to be the highest level of medicine courses in the entire Four Great Islands. Even among the seniors who had been studying in the Flaming Island for several years, only a small number of them were able to pass the examination. In comparison, his results, who had just passed the Cold Sky Island's Medicinal Herbs Course, was somewhat lacking.

”The main reason is that the last question with 12 points is too troublesome. Since I'm tired, I couldn't be bothered to write and sleep for a while. In the end, the examiner didn't seem to be very happy. If I knew earlier, I would have written it as well.” Zhou Tong said with a tinge of regret as he spread out his hands.

”Pfft!” This time, Du Rui really spat out a mouthful of blood.

The scene was silent for a moment. No one moved. It was unknown if it was because they could not trust Zhou Tong, or because they felt the huge gap between them and a Successor Disciple, it was as if they did not dare to lend a hand.
