The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

Chapter 60: Farewell to Di Xin

Long Xuan planned to start the transplantation of spiritual herbs immediately. He took a communication talisman from his storage bag and wrote on it with a pen:

"I have a large quantity of mid-grade and high-grade spirit insects to sell. I need a large amount of unharvested spiritual herbs. Where is your place? I will come over personally."

As the pen left the talisman, it dissipated into a stream of light and flew out the window.

This communication talisman was one that he and Di Xin had kept for each other, convenient for trading between two wealthy individuals.

Although the market had many spiritual herbs, they were all dead. He needed living herbs that could be transplanted, preferably freshly pulled from the soil. It didn’t matter if they were ripe; as long as they had flowers, they were fine.

Who had the largest herb garden in this area? It had to be Di Xin's herb garden.

On one hand, she was skilled in formations, allowing her to expand her herb garden without restraint. Her formation skills were so high that almost no one could break them.

On the other hand, she had a high demand for mid-grade and high-grade spirit insects and had always been a major customer of Long Xuan. The spirit insects he obtained from the Qian Clan's stone gambling shop were mostly sold to her.

High-grade spiritual herbs could produce high-grade spirit insects, so she naturally invested a lot in her herb garden, making it unimaginably large.

Compared to hers, Elder Long's herb garden was simply shabby and embarrassing.

If he were to pull spiritual herbs from anyone's garden, Di Xin's would be the first choice.

Soon, the communication talisman returned. Long Xuan's storage bag shook slightly, and he quickly took out another communication talisman. It contained Di Xin's address.

communication talismans are consumables, and using one would deplete both parties' talismans, with a distance limitation.

Long Xuan couldn't help but miss the world with mobile phones. Communication in this world was really inconvenient. It seemed he needed to find time to create something similar to long-distance communication.

With a slight sigh, Long Xuan prepared a large number of mid-grade and high-grade spirit insects and set off for Di Xin's place.

He was not lacking in mid-grade and high-grade spirit insects, as he could easily acquire some from the stone gambling shop. The nine storage bags full of fossils from the fossil mine had not yet been dealt with, and there were many good insects among them. Today, he would handle them all, as they were taking up too much space.

Apart from peak-grade spirit insects, Long Xuan was not interested in any other spirit insects. They could be easily bought with spirit stones whenever needed for Gu refining, so there was no need to hoard them.

After a day's journey, Long Xuan arrived at a vast grassland and finally stopped in front of a small wooden house.

"Oh! Our big homebody finally steps out?"

Di Xin had been waiting at home early. Seeing Long Xuan's arrival, she smiled and greeted him. She was dressed as usual, in a yellow dress with a veil that couldn't hide her stunning beauty.

"Is this your home?"

"Do you think the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

Long Xuan looked around in surprise. It was a flat plain where the wind blew low, revealing cattle and sheep. It was wide open with no mountains or obstacles in sight, making it very exposed. It was right at the market's entrance, only a day's journey away, and seemed very unsafe.

And where was her large herb garden? Long Xuan used his Heavenly Eye to scan the area but saw nothing.

Di Xin chuckled playfully, "Don't bother looking. No one in the entire market has found my herb garden. Do you think you can?"

"My herb garden is not hidden. It's openly planted here, in this vast area."

"But it's covered by a massive illusion array. Anyone entering will unknowingly avoid my herb garden without noticing."

"My herb garden is masked by the illusion of this grassland. Even if you're close, you won't see it."

Hearing this, Long Xuan couldn't help but clap his hands. Impressive, truly impressive. Boldly placing the herb garden where everyone could see but no one could find it—absolutely brilliant.

He sincerely admired her and became increasingly interested in the art of formations.

"Shocked, aren't you? To date, you're the first one daring enough to come to my house. You've got guts." Di Xin gave him a strange smile.

In the world of Gu, normal people wouldn't easily visit someone's house, especially a formation master's house.

Formations were not convenient to carry and didn't provide much combat power, but visiting a formation master's home was different.

If the formation master was wealthy enough, the power of their formations could be terrifying. If they found a spiritual vein and used it as the formation's core, even fighting across major stages battles were normal.

This was her home turf, where she was like a god. Almost anyone who came would die, no matter how many.

In such circumstances, who would dare visit her home, risking their life?

Long Xuan was the first man to enter her house.

But Di Xin thought again. This guy usually stayed home, cautious and timid, not liking to take risks.

Unless he had some means of dealing with formations, with his overly cautious nature, he wouldn't dare to venture into a formation master's house.

Her eyes rolled as she recalled selling him formation books. Could he have mastered them enough to break formations, thus not fearing her?

Could he break her formation instantly? Breaking it slowly wouldn't work, as no one would give him time to break it during a fight.

Could he break her formation instantly?

Di Xin couldn't help but laugh. The boy must be overconfident. Her chain formation, backed by a dragon vein, couldn't be broken so easily. Underestimating her would be ridiculous.

Moreover, she only sold him basic formation knowledge, not her ultimate secrets. Could he break her formation with just the basics? Ridiculous!

Long Xuan, unaware of her inner thoughts, went straight to the point: "No need to invite me in for food or drinks. Just take me to the herb garden. I'll leave after the trade. I have things to do at home."

Once bitten, twice shy. He was genuinely scared after being tricked by Master Jin.

Not going inside avoided trouble. If she really spiked his drink, it would be hard to resolve.

Di Xin's beautiful eyes widened, "Come inside and eat and drink with me? A single man's home isn't a place for a stranger to casually visit! What about my reputation?"

"I never intended to invite you in for a meal! Don't get ahead of yourself."

She gave him a sideways glance, feeling that his homebody nature made him too straightforward.

Long Xuan was sometimes influenced by modern thinking. He only realized now that in a conservative world, it was impossible for men and women to be alone together. His worries were overblown and unnecessary.

But he had a thick skin. Despite her scolding, he showed no reaction.

Di Xin had no choice but to lead him to her herb garden, unable to continue the conversation.
