Chapter 246: Gathering
That night, when she cautiously followed the figure of the lantern fireflies and traced the source to a mountain stream farther away, she found a small cluster of lantern flowers!
Because of the topography of the place where they are located, this mountain stream is very shallow, and there are reeds to shelter it, at the beginning, Wei Ruyu did not notice the existence of lantern flowers, but saw that this group of little ones seemed to be extremely excited, dancing happily in the night, completing the song of life.
She subconsciously opened her eyes and looked around, only to notice that there was a small patch of plants on the ground, like lantern fireflies, emitting a shallow fluorescent figure. Because they were motionless, the fluorescence was also slightly different from the lively lantern fireflies in the air, and at first, she thought it was a firefly whose life had come to an end, and she was still a little worried.
But when she cautiously approached with her divine sense, she found that the other party was not a lantern firefly, but a plant, and the few fluorescent figures dotted here and there were not lantern fireflies that were about to end their lives, but small flowers.
After completing the song of life, the lantern fireflies will lay their eggs in the surrounding suitable environment, and finally sleep under the lantern flowers, which is the best home for every lantern firefly.
Wei Ruyu carefully observed the lantern flowers, even though Guo Zhikang had said that the lantern flowers have many flowering periods, and before dawn, the small lantern flower buds will close. When closed, the lantern loses its medicinal effect.
To keep the lantern flower at its best, it must be collected when it is in full bloom.
But Wei Ruyu looked at the lantern fireflies that were still flying in the night sky, and still squatted quietly in the reeds, motionless, waiting patiently.
Until the second half of the night, when Wei Rulei, who was not at ease, came to look for someone, Wei Ruyu, who found that the eldest brother had walked in, gently reminded the eldest brother not to come over first.
After all, she is a water, wood, earth and earth spirit root, and she has been exercising with little monkeys on Cloud Mist Mountain since she was a child, whether it is because of her breath or her ability to conceal herself, at least in front of these little creatures, she is still much better than Wei Rulei, a very evil spirit root.
Wei Rulei frowned, and stood in place with some worry, but out of trust and love for his little sister, he still didn't insist on stepping forward, just waited in place.
The two waited until it was only an hour before dawn, and the lantern fireflies whose lives had come to an end had already slept one after another, and Wei Ruyu moved.
She cautiously approached the area where the small lantern flower was located, and did not turn on any light source, but took advantage of the faint glow of the lantern fireflies and the lantern flower from the gradually faint breath of life, and lightly picked the lantern flower and put it in the cold ice jade box.
This jade box was purchased by Ye Junze when he was in the Arctic Realm before.
Although the jade is not as good as the jade material of the jade bracelet on Wei Ruyu's wrist, it is already a very good material as a storage box for collecting spirit plants.
They have been out for two years, although Wei Ruyu is not like Guo Zhikang, he will collect as many strange spirit plants as he sees, lest he will be killed by him before he can study a doorway, but he has also collected a lot intermittently.
After all, even if she and her eldest brother are not alchemists, what about Ye Junze and Grandpa Qi? No matter how bad it is, they can sell spirit stones.
Especially some valuable and mature or near-mature spirit plants, they are eager to take them all away, and they don't dislike the grade being too low.
So at this time, there are not many ordinary storage boxes in Wei Ruyu's hands. For the Honored Academy
Fortunately, Ye Junze has always been generous, and at this time, Wei Ruyu will not face rare spirit plants but have no conditions for picking.
When Wei Ruyu picked the lantern flowers, Wei Rulei probably realized something. It's just that he can't help much, so after thinking about it, he still sent a message to his sister and asked her if she wanted to call Guo Zhikang?
Although the lantern flower is indeed very precious, Wei Ruyu has no intention of hiding it privately, and when he heard the words of the eldest brother, he also nodded.
After all, she is not familiar enough with lantern flowers, I wonder if Senior Brother Guo knows if there are any taboos about the preservation of lantern flowers?
And this lantern grass, I wonder if she can plant it?
Wei Ruyu saw that the eldest brother had gone away, and Guo Zhikang, who was still keeping vigil over there, obviously hadn't noticed the things here, she thought about it, and still dug up a few lantern grasses and carefully planted them in Cangyun Pei.
Although she had mentioned the existence of Cangyun Pei to her eldest brother, it was obvious that Wei Rulei was not interested in such a space that was inherited by the ancestors of the Wei family, and it was obviously only the descendants who inherited the inheritance of the Wei family's spiritual tea master cultivation lineage that they were qualified to have and open.
Regardless of whether the other party was just a small house and a few ancient spirit tea trees inside, or if there were any other formation mysteries, he was not interested.
If this Cangyun Pei was obtained by Wei Rufeng or outsiders in the desert, Wei Rulei might not be interested in it, but he would definitely snatch it.
After all, it is a place where spiritual plants can be planted and living people can enter, even if you don't know the secret, you want to know that it was once left by a powerful ancestor.
It can't be said that it was obtained by refining the fragments of the world. Its value is far more than what Wei Ruyu said.
But since it was in the hands of his sister, there was nothing to say, and he even told Wei Ruyu not to tell anyone about this matter, and he himself would rot this matter in his heart.
So Wei Ruyu, who actually wanted to say something more, obediently swallowed back what Qi Nanfeng and Ye Junze might have guessed.
After that, in addition to transplanting a few spirit plants to Cangyunpei under the cover of his eldest brother a few times, Wei Ruyu, who was not very dependent on Cangyunpei, really kept this secret very well.
She thought, although she knew that the lantern fireflies and lantern flowers had very strict requirements for the living environment, but the environment in Cangyun Pei was also very good, very clean, and not polluted, maybe the lantern flowers could survive in it?
Of course, in order to avoid the fact that the environment inside Cangyun Pei could not grow lantern flowers alive, Wei Ruyu was not greedy, she just dug a few plants a little, then stopped, and continued to pick lantern flowers carefully.
When Guo Zhikang excitedly followed Wei Rulei over, Wei Ruyu had already planted the lantern grass, came out of Cangyunpei, and squatted on the ground as if nothing had happened.
Of course, after all, it was the place where the lantern grass had just been dug, and there were still remnants of the dirt pit on the ground, so Wei Ruyu would not be stupid enough to do nothing, and still put the two lantern grasses together separately.
While cautiously whispering sorry to the two lantern grasses that were most likely to be inviable, Wei Ruyu raised his head, showed a shallow smile at Guo Zhikang, and made a gesture of "shhhhhh
