Chu Ning could use it herself.
Besides, whether others’ Iron Blue Orchid Fruits will bear fruit depends on luck.
But I don’t need to, as long as Ling Xiaobai pees by each plant, combined with my Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill, the Iron Blue Orchid Fruits will surely bear fruit.
However, the seeds of the Iron Blue Orchid Fruit are a problem; Chu Ning doesn’t have them yet.
"It seems I can only go to Cloud Sea Pavilion at Wind Gorge Square to see if I can buy some Iron Blue Orchid Fruit seeds.
If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to wait two months until my Iron Blue Orchid Fruits ripen to get the seeds."
Chu Ning murmured to herself.
But the thought of this spirit field being left barren for almost two months made Chu Ning feel a bit regretful.
Returning from the spirit field to the market, Chu Ning did not go back to her shop but went directly to find Gu Xiaoqing.
"Oh, Junior Brother Chu’s Golden Essence Fruits are ripe?"
Upon hearing Chu Ning’s intentions, Gu Xiaoqing’s face lit up with joy.
"Lately, it seems everyone in the sect has been busier, and Steward Lin has fewer chances to bring us things.
Just as my stock of Golden Essence Fruits is about to run out, Junior Brother Chu, your timing is perfect."
As Chu Ning retrieved ten large jade boxes from the storage bag, she said to Gu Xiaoqing:
"Senior Sister, please check the quality of these Golden Essence Fruits first."
"Sure!"
Gu Xiaoqing reached out to open a box and took out a Golden Essence Fruit, then looked at Chu Ning with her gentle eyes.
Nodding with great satisfaction, she said:
"It seems Junior Brother Chu is not only talented in talisman making but also highly skilled in spirit plant cultivation.
The quality of these Golden Essence Fruits is rarely seen within the sect."
"It’s just that my wood element skills and techniques are quite compatible," Chu Ning explained with the excuse she always used.
Then, she took out ten large jade boxes from the storage bag.
"Senior Sister Gu, there are a thousand here, please count them."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoqing smiled warmly and said:
"Since Junior Brother has counted them, there’s no need for me to do so.
Having over a thousand such quality Golden Essence Fruits from twenty acres of spirit fields is indeed rare."
Chu Ning smiled without saying anything in response.
This wasn’t the yield from twenty acres, but from just ten acres.
Of course, she wouldn’t tell Gu Xiaoqing about that.
Gu Xiaoqing collected all ten boxes of Golden Essence Fruits into her storage bag and then placed a bag of spirit stones in front of Chu Ning.
"Junior Brother Chu, here are a thousand spirit stones for you, keep them safely."
Chu Ning accepted it, then took out 50 spirit stones and placed them on the table.
"Senior Sister Gu, 950 spirit stones are enough."
Chu Ning did not deliberately mention that the seeds of the Golden Essence Fruits were initially given by Gu Xiaoqing, nor did she bring up the fact that Gu Xiaoqing gifted her elixirs when selling them.
However, Gu Xiaoqing was very astute and understood immediately.
Without any pretension, she directly accepted the 50 spirit stones and smiled, saying:
"In that case, I should thank Junior Brother Chu."
Exchanging niceties, Chu Ning prepared to leave.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoqing suddenly spoke:
"Junior Brother Chu, I’m planning to invite everyone to Wind Gorge Square in the coming days. Are you interested in going?"
"To Wind Gorge Square?"
Hearing this, Chu Ning was a bit surprised. Wasn’t this a coincidence?
She had been thinking about going to Wind Gorge Square for the past half month, and now Gu Xiaoqing was inviting her.
But Chu Ning didn’t show much expression and asked Gu Xiaoqing:
"What made Senior Sister Gu suddenly think of going to Wind Gorge Square?"
With a gentle smile, Gu Xiaoqing replied:
"Recently, more people have been coming to the market. I heard a Tier One Advanced Demon Beast has appeared again, and the demand for elixirs might increase.
Plus, the sect’s supply of various medicinal herbs isn’t very comprehensive. I heard that Wind Gorge Square nearby is a large market.
Tomorrow is the market day, so I want to buy some herbs for alchemy.
It just so happens that Junior Brother Shen, Junior Brother Luo, and Junior Sister Lu are also thinking of going to check it out, so I wanted to invite you along."
Chu Ning was planning to go anyway, and since there were companions, she agreed immediately.
That night, Chu Ning stayed up painting a batch of Basic Upper Grade Talismans.
The next morning, a group of five left Yan Workshop.
"Can everyone use sword flight? Wind-controlling flight is too slow."
Luo Yiping turned and asked the group, his eyes falling on Chu Ning.
Then, Luo Yiping was the first to take out a flying sword from his storage bag,
indicating that this outer disciple of the Spirit Beast Room seemed to have no fondness for Chu Ning.
Chu Ning felt the same toward him but didn’t show it.
He chose not to say anything at the moment.
According to sect rules, one can learn the Sword Control Technique upon reaching the late stage of Qi Refining.
Although Chu Ning had already broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, her apparent cultivation was only at the fifth layer of Qi Refining.
Since she hadn’t returned to the sect, she naturally hadn’t learned the Sword Control Technique.
Next, Shen Zhengquan took a small spiritual boat from his storage bag. Though not large, it could barely accommodate two people.
As an Artifact Refining Hall disciple, having some good magical artifacts was not out of the ordinary.
Chu Ning noticed Lu Miaoying standing beside him,
clearly intending to ride Shen Zhengquan’s artifact,
and this late Qi Refining fifth-layer female disciple of the Spirit Beast Room seemed prepared to hitch a ride with Shen Zhengquan.
Gu Xiaoqing realized it and, feeling a bit apologetic, looked at Chu Ning.
"I forgot that Junior Brother Chu cannot use sword flight. Let’s use the Wind Manipulation Technique together and be a bit late."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhengquan and Luo Yiping exchanged a look of surprise.
Yesterday, when they heard Gu Xiaoqing say she also invited Chu Ning, they planned to embarrass Chu Ning today.
