Chapter 427 Deep in the Black Forest
"That seems to be true. Let's try to cover as much distance as possible!" Su Siyi gritted her teeth, her fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes. She vowed to herself that she would reach the check-in point as soon as possible and end this journey full of uncertainties.
"Well, let's keep going. We can even walk a little longer at night." Nangong Jingming looked at Su Siyi's determined expression, feeling relieved. He thought, if they were really tired, they could go inside to rest. With the abundant spiritual energy in that space as a backup, they would have enough confidence to speed up their journey.
"Well, let's go." Su Siyi nodded vigorously, and the two of them instantly quickened their pace, switching from a walk to a jog. Their figures shuttled through the dense woods, and the leaves rustled at their speed.
The two began running through the forest, and indeed, their speed increased significantly. However, the system didn't seem to intend for them to have a smooth journey. From time to time, a crisp notification chime echoed in Su Siyi's mind, announcing the discovery of some rare plant and the corresponding mysterious gift package. Although they felt a little helpless in the face of these unexpected surprises, they didn't want to miss out. Each time, they would dig out the spiritual herbs as quickly as possible and drop them into the jade pendant space with their thoughts. The jade pendant space was rich in spiritual energy, making it an ideal place to cultivate spiritual herbs. Su Siyi was confident that these spiritual herbs would thrive there.
As she discovered more and more spiritual herbs, Su Siyi's curiosity about the mysterious gift package gradually gave way to her eagerness to get on with her journey. She didn't even want to open the gift package right away, planning to take it out and study it whenever she went in for a break.
Finally, during a rest stop in the space, Su Siyi opened the mysterious gift packages she had accumulated over that period. The rewards revealed were all medicinal elixirs. There was the Soul-Gathering Pill, a simple, elegant pill emitting a gentle glow. It was said to repair damaged souls and stabilize the spirit. For a cultivator, the spirit is fundamental, and the Soul-Gathering Pill's preciousness goes without saying. There was also the Seven-Colored Illusionary Pill, a dazzling, dreamlike pill that could trigger miraculous changes upon ingestion, affecting a cultivator's spiritual perception and potentially granting them unique insights on their path. The Heart-Clearing Pill, emitting a star-like radiance, could calm the mind with a single whiff, clearing the mind and allowing the cultivator to enter a state of cultivation more easily. The Life-Sustaining Pill, unassuming in appearance, held within it a potent source of vitality. It could sustain life in crucial moments, potentially saving lives in the face of death.
These pills will appear repeatedly, but each one has extraordinary effects. Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming looked at these pills with joy in their hearts.
These pills are not only a guarantee of strength, but also the basis for dealing with various crises in the future, and a guarantee of their combat effectiveness.
For them, having more pills was like having more torches in the darkness, only making the path forward brighter and brighter. Each pill contained powerful energy, whether it was healing injuries, restoring spiritual power at a critical moment, or assisting in breaking through bottlenecks in cultivation, it was invaluable.
"Brother Nangong, how long will it take us to get there?" Su Siyi gazed at the seemingly endless forest, her anxiety growing stronger as she asked once again. During these long eighteen days, they traveled day and night, harvesting numerous rare plants and mysterious gift packs, but their desire to reach their destination remained undimmed.
"It's almost there. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be there tomorrow." Nangong Jingming looked into the distance with a determined gaze. He kept an eye on the map, knowing the route very well, and knew that they were close to their destination.
"Really? It's finally here. I'm getting a little tired of picking up gift packs every day." Su Siyi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wry smile. These days, the system has been frequently notifying her of the discovery of rare plants. While the mysterious gift packs that come with them are precious, the repetition day after day has also made her feel a little tired.
"You have a treasure to pick up, yet you're still scorning it. Be careful if someone finds out, they'll cause you trouble." Nangong Jingming jokingly said with a doting look in his eyes. In his eyes, Su Siyi's situation was a "happy trouble." After all, having such an opportunity was something countless cultivators envied.
"Haha, whoever dares to cause me trouble, I'll make him get into trouble." Su Siyi raised her chin, a slightly arrogant expression on her face, her eyes revealing confidence and playfulness. After so many adventures, her strength and state of mind have made a qualitative leap. Now, she is no longer the timid and naive girl who was afraid of people.
After eighteen days of walking, they were naturally delighted to finally see hope. The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to turn pale, Su Siyi eagerly rose and excitedly set off. Her steps were brisk and powerful, as if she had endless energy. After all, today was likely the day they would reach the check-in point, ending this long and arduous journey.
The two of them traveled quickly, weaving through dense woods and dodging various dangers and obstacles. Finally, at three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at their destination.
"We're finally here! This is the first time I've gone through so much trouble to reach a check-in location. I wonder if the rewards will be generous!" Su Siyi panted slightly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. Recalling the arduous eighteen days of trekking, she was filled with emotion and curiosity about the system's rewards.
"Then hurry up and sign in, and you'll find out what your reward is!" Nangong Jingming was also a little excited. He rubbed his hands together and stared at Su Siyi. They had been walking for a long time to the sign-in location this time, and he was eager to know what kind of generous reward this long effort would bring.
"Okay, sign in to the system." Su Siyi took a deep breath, calmed down her excitement, and immediately issued a sign-in instruction to the system.
"Ding, sign-in successful, rewarded with a spiritual vein and 100,000 points." The crisp prompt sound of the system instantly rang in Su Siyi's mind, and the reward was credited to the account.
"Spiritual vein?" Su Siyi's eyes widened, her face filled with surprise. For cultivators, a spiritual vein was a coveted treasure. It contained an extremely rich spiritual energy, making it an ideal place for cultivation. She had never imagined that this sign-in would yield such a valuable treasure.
"What's wrong? What spiritual vein?" Nangong Jingming looked at Su Siyi with confusion. He looked around and found no special signs around, nor did he find the so-called spiritual vein.
"I was just rewarded with a spiritual vein." Su Siyi couldn't suppress her inner excitement and emphasized the reward content again.
"A spiritual vein as a reward, really? Then can we place it anywhere we want? No, Siyi, can spiritual veins be purchased?" Nangong Jingming was instantly shocked by the news, and a series of questions rushed out of his mouth. He knew the importance of spiritual veins. If they could be placed anywhere they wanted, it would have an immeasurable impact on their cultivation plans and the development of the country.
