Chapter 32: Ranks
After the misunderstanding with Yu Gui was cleared up, Hua Changxi returned to the storage room to collect medicinal herbs, and the variety of herbs she was able to retrieve began to increase once again.
"Sister Changxi, you only take a few stalks of each herb. Don't you find it bothersome?"
Yu Gui looked at Hua Changxi, puzzled. He knew that other handymen preferred to take only one type of herb back at a time, as it made the cleaning process much easier.
Hua Changxi shook her head: "I don't find it bothersome."
Yu Gui asked again: "By collecting herbs this way..."
After about a few breaths, one could see the yin energy in the surroundings surging toward the Heaven-Turning Paddle, being continuously absorbed by it.
"Oh dear, please accept my condolences. It is my fault for bringing up such a painful subject for Boss Fan." The old woman’s doubts vanished, replaced by a smile.
Just like that, on the twenty-eighth day, he felt that his soul had progressed tremendously. He then successfully sensed the water element between heaven and earth, gathering a great deal of it into his primordial spirit to temper his soul.
The second route was to head north, completing tasks along the way until reaching Ashenvale Forest, where the tribe and the Moon Elves were locked in a struggle.
Seeing Ah Jiao worrying about meeting her future mother-in-law, he wanted to console her—she was still so young, and there were plenty of men to choose from.
Qin Hu sighed inwardly. Qin An’s predicament was entirely caused by his own involvement, and if things continued down this path, they would surely face certain death.
At first, he often missed his targets. Sometimes he would cast his skills too early, failing to kill the monster, only for it to be finished off by other NPCs, leaving him with little experience. Other times, he would cast them too late, and by the time the skill landed, the monster was already dead, leaving him with nothing.
It was not easy; it was truly difficult, but finally, he had won an award. This gave Xiao Yu the confidence and strength to move forward once again.
In other words, this fellow must have allocated his attribute points into Strength and Intelligence, so this crystal likely increased those two attributes, and perhaps Stamina as well. As to whether it favored Strength or Intelligence more, it was hard to say.
Even inside the game, they wouldn't talk about anything else; the conversation always revolved around the game, or rather, everyone sharing intelligence they had gathered while questing in the Hellfire Peninsula.
Aside from Harry Potter, who had truly faced death, and would remember this malicious accident, everyone else was at most surprised for a moment before being swept away by the joy of victory; no one remembered the incident very clearly.
About half a month later, the three armies had become somewhat lax due to their great victory. However, a disciple of the Daoist Heavenly Venerate arrived to deliver grain, extending the destiny of the Western Zhou and rescuing them from their crisis of having no food or water.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Xie Na insistently invited Lin Chen to go out for a late-night snack. In the end, Lin Chen went with Baby, Xie Na, Ouyang Nana, and Ouyang Nini. He Jiong and the others did not join them as they had other arrangements.
Amidst the flying lava, a massive, mysterious creature suddenly erupted from the magma, lightning-fast as it lunged to bite Ling Tian, who was hovering in mid-air.
Driving the carriage in a grand display through the streets, anyone who dared to provoke them was dealt with by the Howling Heaven God-Tiger and Long Ao before Ling Tian even had to act. Both were naturally unruly, and with Ling Tian’s permission, they acted without restraint, slaughtering their way through and leaving a trail of blood-stained legends in their wake.
Seeing Xiao Yue stepping on the water without sinking, the fishermen finally understood that these two were true exorcists with genuine power.
Yun He waved his hand, sealing the chessboard. From this moment on, for a thousand years or ten thousand years, the board would remain in its current state.
The Wine Sword Immortal scratched his head in embarrassment. Mo Yixi was his secular name; he had once been tasked by the Holy Maiden to save the Witch Queen, but he had failed.
The battle between the Confucian school and the Daoist Heavenly Sect had reached the critical third round, while the four people in the prison had struggled for a long time, only to eventually end up right back where they started.
After breaking through the bottleneck of earth-attribute development, Qian Ye advanced rapidly, only slowing down again once he encountered the next bottleneck.
