Godly Student

The trio continued advancing forward, and Yao Na pasted her face on Cheng Yu’s shoulder. She felt extremely comfortable, and she kept recalling to the scene of Cheng Yu showing her a tender expression. She felt that their teacher and student relationship kept on getting more indistinct. She kept on harboring the feelings of being together with Cheng Yu, causing her to feel at a loss of what to do. In the future, how was she going to handle their relationship?

After Yao Na had something to worry about, her mood changed. A faint trace of grief appeared on her face. However, Cheng Yu was not able to witness this happening.

When it came to finding medical herbs, especially those rare and valuable ones, they would need to cross several mountains normally. Yao Na leaned forward on Cheng Yu’s neck and said dearly, ”You have carried me for so long, Aren’t you tired? Why not put me down, I can walk there myself.”

“It’s fine. To be able to carry you, even if it’s for my whole life, I would not feel tired. Not to mention it’s just crossing a few mountains,” Cheng Yu turned his face around and smiled. Even though Cheng Yu’s age was younger than Yao Na’s, his height was very tall. Furthermore, Cheng Yu was a cultivator, so it was impossible for him to feel tired just by piggybacking a woman.

“Really?” Yao Na said passionately from behind, and she felt sweet, but conflicted.

“Of course. Can’t you see that I am not even sweating?”

Qiang Zi had long started to admire Cheng Yu as Qiang Zi was someone who stayed behind the mountain and would frequently ascend the mountains. Yet, even he would start panting after climbing a few mountains, but not only had Cheng Yu carried another person for so long, he did not even start panting and was even running as fast as flying!

If it was not because he had witnessed before how mystical Cheng Yu was, Qiang Zi would really think that Cheng Yu was not a human. However, Qiang Zi still thought of Cheng Yu as a deity.

“Mr. Cheng is truly the most mystical man I have ever seen. If you weren’t Xiao Na’s boyfriend, I would really consider you a deity,” Qiang Zi laughed.

“Haha! Uncle Qiang Zi, how long before we arrive?”

“After climbing past this mountain, we will arrive. The cliff is on the other side of this mountain.”

After another 30 minutes, the trio finally reached the top of the mountain. They looked down and saw that below the cliff was covered by layers of clouds. They basically could not see anything beyond a certain distance.

“I am not sure what the height of this mountain is. At that time, I saw there were a few bunches of lingzhi below, so I jumped down courageously. Over here, we will still be able to climb back up. However, after climbing down about 100 meters, the cliff becomes extremely steep, but there should be a lot of rare and precious medical herbs. The two stems of ginseng we are looking for is around 80 meters down,” Qiang Zi said while he put the necessary items down. He took out a thick rope and was prepared to tie it to the big tree at the side.

“Uncle Qiang Zi, there is no need for you to go down. I will go down personally to have a look. The two of you wait here. There is no need to worry about me,” After Cheng Yu spoke, he gave Yao Na a reassuring look. While they were still startled, Cheng Yu had already jumped down the cliff.

They were alarmed as they quickly ran over to look. They only saw a light flash in the layers of cloud and could no longer find Cheng Yu’s shadow.

“This…Xiao Na, what kind of person is your boyfriend? This is too mystical. Could he really be a deity?” Since Cheng Yu had already told them to not worry about him, then Cheng Yu would not face any difficulties.

At this moment, Yao Na was in a panicked state. Just now, when Cheng Yu had jumped down so suddenly, if he had not said not to worry about him, Yao Na would really be frightened to death by him.

“I am also not sure. I only know that he possesses lots of mystical abilities,” After Yao Na returned to her normal state of mind, she replied to Qiang Zi. With regards to Cheng Yu’s identity, Yao Na was also extremely curious. However, when she asked him about it previously, Cheng Yu did not tell her anything.

“Xiao Na, no matter what kind of person he is, one thing for sure is that he isn’t someone normal. You must definitely treasure him. This is something not only beneficial to you and your family, but also to our whole village,” Qiang Zi said ruefully. Today, Qiang Zi was startled several times by Cheng Yu’s mystical abilities.

“Er. Ok,” When Yao Na heard Uncle Qiang Zi had also talked about this issue, Yao Na felt awkward about it. However, one thing she had to admit was that after Cheng Yu had appeared. He had brought a lot of benefits to everyone here.

———————————————————————————————————————

Cheng Yu jumped down about 50 meters before calling out his flying sword. Even though Cheng Yu had already shown Qiang Zi a lot of his mystical abilities, Cheng Yu still felt that the flying sword would be something too alarming for anybody to witness. It would be better not to show it to anyone yet.

Standing on top of the flying sword, Cheng Yu slowly searched the cliff. Deep in the mountains, there would hardly be any signs of human habitation. Not to mention this incomparably dangerous cliff. It could also be said that there would be very few people here that would brave their death and come to gather herbs.

The density of the spiritual Qi over here was a lot denser than outside, and the medical herbs here would naturally grow better than the outside world. Cheng Yu was easily able to find a few bunches of big lingzhi.

According to what Qiang Zi said, Cheng Yu searched at 70 meters down the cliff cautiously. After looking for about 10 minutes, Cheng Yu saw two stems of Tianyuan Grass stuck in between a hole drifting because of the direction of the wind.

Cheng Yu was elated as he retrieved it into his storage ring and continued to search. Even if he was not able to find anymore Tianyuan Grass, it would be beneficial for him if he was able to find some other rare and precious medical herbs as well.

Others may not be able to reach here, but for Cheng Yu this was as simple as walking on a normal road. He continued down about 400 meters and found a lot of precious herbs that had never been seen by the outside world. Cheng Yu had even managed to find lots of well-aged medical herbs.

With the bottom being covered by the clouds and mist, but with exceptionally dense spiritual Qi, Cheng Yu got extremely curious. It was a norm that places with extremely dense spiritual Qi would usually have exceptional treasures hidden there. Cheng Yu had no idea what kind of precious treasure was hidden here, but if he was able to cultivate here for some time, it would be very beneficial for him. At least, it was a lot better than cultivating in the city.

So, Cheng Yu wished to take a look at the base of this cliff. When the time was right, he would come to cultivate frequently. Probably, with the help of some pills, it was very likely for him to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm late stage very quickly.

Cheng Yu broke off a big piece of rock from the cliff and threw it down. He tried to listen carefully to the sound of the rock hitting the ground. However, after waiting for about two minutes, he was still not able to heard the sound of that rock hitting the bottom.

“D*mn it! It’s so deep! Should I go down and take a look? This is definitely a good place for me to cultivate. If I don’t go down and have a look, I will definitely regret it after I leave,” Cheng Yu thought for a while and decided to head down. He decided to not look for medical herbs any more, but instead flew straight to the base.

The more he descended, the more astonished Cheng Yu became. The denseness of the spiritual Qi here was even comparable to those wells of cultivation grounds in Cheng Yu’s previous world. Could it be that there was really a treasure down there?

Cheng Yu controlled his astonishment as he increased his speed and descended. With the current speed Cheng Yu was descending, it was a lot faster than the speed of the rock dropping down. In the end, Cheng Yu spent about five minutes before reaching the ground.

However, when he reached the ground, Cheng Yu was startled enough to be at a loss for words. The valley he landed on was very wide, and there was a pool in the middle of the valley. This was not what caused Cheng Yu to be astonished. Instead, he was astonished by the big tree that was beside the pool. The tree was releasing large amounts of dense spiritual Qi.

Cheng Yu walked over and looked at the red fruits that were on the tree. If Cheng Yu had not guessed wrongly, this should be the legendary Spiritual Origin Tree. And the fruits that grew on it should be Spiritual Origin Fruits.

As its name implied, the Spiritual Origin Tree was a tree born from dense amounts of spiritual Qi in a well. This tree was able to release spiritual Qi, just like a well.

At this moment, Cheng Yu was extremely excited. As expected, it had always been said that with a dense amount of spiritual Qi, there would certainly be precious treasure hidden there. The tree’s ability to act like a Qi well was not the most important. Rather, the fruits it bore were the true treasure.

These fruits were nourished by the heaven’s spiritual Qi while growing, turning it into an exceptional treasure in both heaven and earth. If a mortal were to eat it, it could not only prolong their life span, it would also wash their bone marrow. If a cultivator were to eat it, it could increase their cultivation realm. It was like numerous pills being combined into one.

With Cheng Yu’s current cultivation, if he were to eat a fruit, he would definitely breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm late stage. Perhaps, before he went to the cultivation world to make a name for himself, he would have already entered the Core Formation Realm. Thinking about this, he became extremely excited. Cheng Yu could no longer contain his joy.

Cheng Yu looked around his surroundings and was certain that there were no ownerless objects around him, so he prepared himself to consume one of fruits right away.

“Hong!” However, when Cheng Yu reached out to pluck one of the fruits, the pool beside the tree suddenly exploded, forming a 33 meter water wall to separate Cheng Yu from the tree.

Cheng Yu was alarmed. In an instant, he evaded the water wall that was pouncing on him. Cheng Yu saw the originally calm water had actually appeared as 6.6 meter long body in the middle. It was a gigantic snake head that was currently using a pair of bell-like eyes to stare closely at Cheng Yu.
