The edge of the swamp, deep in the grass.

Gu Xiuyun took a deep breath and stood up.

After fighting with the lizard demon for a long time, the spiritual power in his body was consumed by nearly eighty percent, and he finally recovered at this moment!

During this period, everyone stayed near the poison pool.

I don't know if it's because the lizard demon is too powerful, and the nearby monsters don't dare to approach, and for half a day, no monsters have appeared.

"Childe, we have collected a lot of elixirs, and we have also found a long bearded ginseng. The guard held up the yellow old ginseng and showed it to Gu Xiuyun.

"100-year-old ginseng!"

Gu Xiuyun's eyes lit up slightly.

The ginseng in Chu County is different from the land of Shenzhou, where the aura is more intense, and the elixir only needs a year and a half to mature.

The long bearded ginseng in front of him has a full 100-year lifespan, and its medicinal power can be imagined.

"What a spiritual ginseng, you have done a good job, and when you return to the city, I will reward you for your meritorious deeds. Gu Xiuyun nodded.

All the guards were overjoyed.

They understood that in the mountains, no demon beast could be fought against by mortals, and the only way for them to gain credit was to collect elixir.

Putting away the hundred-year-old bearded ginseng, Gu Xiuyun took the guards to bypass the poison pool and continue to go deep into the swamp.

In the last part of the journey, Gu Xiuyun walked very cautiously.

Almost every 100 zhang, it had to be re-deduced, and it took three hours before I came to the reeds in the depths of the swamp.

The breeze blew on the water, bent the reeds, and flew all over the sky, as if it had snowed.

"What a beautiful ......"

The guards were stunned.

Staying in Youning City all year round, in addition to the palace pavilions, the most seen is the wasteland and beasts, but how can there be such a beautiful scenery in the wasteland!

Gu Xiuyun shook his head and smiled, it's just a reed, as for such a fuss?

But if you think about it, you can understand that the human race is trapped in the city all the year round, and they dare not leave without permission, like the guards, at least they can leave Youning City and fight in the wasteland.

If you are a low-level civilian who doesn't even know martial arts, I'm afraid you won't see trees and flowers in your life.

The reeds in front of him are accustomed to Gu Xiuyun, but for the guards, I am afraid that they will not see it for the second time in their lives.

"According to the deduction, the water spirit ancient jade should be in the reeds. ”

Gu Xiuyun's left hand pinched silently, following the induction in the dark, calculating the location of the water spirit ancient jade.

But for some reason, Gu Yu seemed to be disturbed by some kind of force, and he couldn't determine the specific direction, and after Gu Xiuyun deduced it many times, he realized in his heart that this was the thief God who was stopping him.

In the previous life, if the Heavenly Mandate Clan wanted to seek immortals, the deduction would also be hindered, and it would be difficult to find the way.

Of course, thieves can only do this.

As the guardian of the rules of heaven and earth, heaven can only act according to the established rules, and cannot go beyond a single trace.

Therefore, it could only use the power of the underworld to interfere with the deduction of the heavenly machine, and it could not personally take action to stop Gu Xiuyun.

"Since you can't deduce it, let the guards look for it slowly!" Gu Xiuyun muttered to himself in his heart.

I only heard him cough, and said lightly: "This reed is full of spiritual energy, and there must be a lot of elixir hidden, you search for it, if you have a harvest, you don't have to give it to me, just keep it for yourself." ”

"Yes, Childe. ”

The guards dispersed and plunged into the water, looking for the elixir hidden underneath.

Gu Xiuyun sat cross-legged on the water, and a faint spiritual power permeated his body, preventing him from falling underwater.

Only a moment later, an exclamation was heard.

Gu Xiuyun hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a guard coming out of the water, still holding a black and purple herb in his hand.

"It's not Gu Yu. Gu Xiuyun shook his head in disappointment.

"Childe, I found an elixir. ”

The guards held it in the palm of his hand like a treasure and handed it to Gu Xiuyun.

"It's a good elixir indeed. Gu Xiuyun nodded slightly, "Keep it, after returning to the city, you should be able to exchange a lot of money for dedicating it to the family." ”

"Yes, Childe. The guards couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The black and purple herbs are filled with a faint aura, although the appearance is not a precious material, but it is also quite valuable, if it is dedicated to the family, a few hundred taels of gold must be there.

For these guards, it is useless to eat one or two elixirs, it is better to save more money, and cultivate their children well in the future, if they can give birth to a cultivator, they can establish a family and gain a firm foothold from now on.

Hundreds of families in the south and east of the city were born in this way.

Soon, another guard collected the elixir, and after Gu Xiuyun glanced at it, he ignored it.

The aura in the reeds is actually not strong, but it is inaccessible here, and there are demon beasts infested, and no one picks the elixir under the water, so it naturally accumulates a lot.

As time passed, the guards surfaced one after another, and they had collected a total of six elixirs, but they were all ordinary varieties, and they couldn't get into Gu Xiuyun's eyes at all.

"Childe, we have already searched the bottom of the water within a radius of 100 zhang, there should be no elixir here!" the guard said respectfully.

"No?" Gu Xiuyun frowned.

But why didn't the water spirit ancient jade appear, could it be because the ancient jade was too small and ignored?

Or, who saw the water spirit ancient jade, but did not hand it over.

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Xiuyun secretly had doubts in his heart.

"That's not right," Gu Xiuyun immediately shook his head, "The Water Spirit Ancient Jade is just a jade material, it has no effect on ordinary people, why should these guards hide it privately?"

How much can a mere piece of ancient jade be worth?

If you can become Gu Xiuyun's disciple, you can ascend to the sky in one step, and you can even hope to establish a family.

He didn't believe that anyone would lose the opportunity to become his disciple for a piece of ancient jade.

"The aura in the reeds here is particularly strong, and there should be a precious elixir, you can look for it again. Gu Xiuyun pondered for a moment and continued.

The guards glanced at each other, not understanding why Gu Xiuyun was so sure, but since Gongzi had spoken, they went under the water again to look for the elixir.

On the water, Gu Xiuyun sat quietly.

More than a dozen guards searched the nearby swamp back and forth, and some of them even found a hundred feet away, but they found nothing.

Gradually, some of the guards became lazy and surfaced from time to time, leaving only five or six people still rummaging in the depths of the mud.

This scene was all seen by Gu Xiuyun.

"If you don't even pretend to be in front of me, you are not a faithful person. He shook his head slightly.

The guards who have been sinking under the water and groping for treasures may not be truly loyal, but at least they take his words to heart, and those lazy guards are certainly not loyal enough.

At this moment, Gu Xiuyun had a plan in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a grunt on the surface of the water, and a guard jumped out of the water excitedly, "Childe, I found a piece of blue jade." ”

With that, the guard placed the jade in front of him.

"Oh?" Gu Xiuyun was ecstatic in his heart, but his expression was extremely calm.

He seemed to take the water spirit ancient jade lightly, and in an instant, the spirit light source poured into his body endlessly, and the third stone bead was repaired.

At the same time, pure vitality gushed out of the stone beads, and Shouyuan increased by four days out of thin air.

"Sure enough, it's a water spirit ancient jade. Gu Xiuyun's expression was a little complicated, and he could clearly sense that an invisible sword light was condensing in front of him, which was the manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth.

Could it be that he has violated the taboo again?

Changing one's life against the sky has always been the most taboo thing in heaven and earth.
