Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1034: Chapter 541: You Are Not Worthy to Stand Among the Clouds

Lanyao had a proud look on his face, while Lanyue looked terrified.

”You... You went to Chimu Peak? Not only that, you got Spirit Grass?”

Lanyao nonchalantly nodded his head.

”Yeah, bro, you wouldn’t believe how many Exotic Beasts are on Chimu Peak. We even killed quite a few. Look, this is the weapon Gu Sheng made for me using a beast’s sharp blade. It’s really handy.”

Receiving the weapon, Lanyue widened his eyes even further.

”You actually managed to kill such fierce beasts?”

”What’s so surprising about that? We’ve killed more than one. Gu Sheng swapped out a weapon for each of us. Like Huang Shan’s meteor hammer, it takes two beasts’ sharp weapons to make. I couldn’t use it, so I made this one.”

Listening to Lanyao’s casual tone, Lanyue took a while to come around.

He looked at Gu Sheng again, but his gaze was completely different from before.

Originally, he had only viewed him as a guest, his brother’s friend, deserving of a better look. But now, his eyes were filled with admiration and respect.

”Gu Sheng, I didn’t expect you to be so impressive. With Lanyao by your side, I’m completely at ease.”

Understanding what he meant, Gu Sheng nodded his head.

”Whenever necessary, I will protect him.”

”Then I’ll leave him in your hands. Let’s head over to look for herbs; follow me.”

Rising up, Lanyue was followed by everyone.

On the way to the herbal medicine repository, Lanyao kept introducing the Elf Clan to everyone.

Rarely visiting this place, everyone looked on with great interest.

After all, in the Jianghu, there aren’t many places as beautiful as the Elf Clan.

Passing by a small pavilion, they finally arrived at the entrance of the herbal medicine repository.

Lanyue raised his hand, his palm swaying as a blue beam of light flew out, causing the door to open instantly.

Seeing the dazzling array of herbs inside, everyone’s jaws dropped in astonishment.

”Lanyao, there are just too many herbs in your Elf Clan, aren’t there?”

Feeling quite proud upon hearing this, Lanyao spoke.

”That’s right. Since our ancestors, we’ve had this herbal medicine repository. We not only stockpile herbs but also cultivate them ourselves. Whatever we’re interested in, we make sure we can grow, hence such a large herbal repository. Feel free to pick and choose, don’t be polite with my brother.”

After he finished speaking, Lanyue nodded with a smile.

”Lanyao is right; feel free to pick and choose, don’t be polite with me. Take whatever you need.”

Saying this, he looked at Gu Sheng.

”Gu Sheng, I appreciate you taking care of Lanyao. Take what you like, it’s my gift to you.”

Gu Sheng smiled but didn’t say much.

After scanning the room once, he picked up a few herbs.

”These herbs might relate to Elixir Pills from the Demon Clan. Let’s take some just in case.”

Nodding, Lanyue watched as Gu Sheng packed away the herbs before stepping aside.

Seeing he had stopped moving, Lanyue walked over.

”Gu Sheng, why don’t you pick more? Don’t you like anything here? If not, I have some treasures elsewhere for you to look at.”

”Thank you for your generosity, Brother Lan. I’m just planning for the trip to the Demon Clan; I don’t need too many herbs. Those I picked up earlier are enough.”

Hearing this, Lanyue understood what he meant.

”Gu Sheng, why are you being so formal with me? You are brothers with Lanyao, which makes you like family to me too. I’ve opened my doors to welcome you, so of course, you can choose anything here. As long as you don’t empty the whole place, anything you want is yours. You shouldn’t just prepare for the Demon Clan trip; you can choose something for yourself too, as my gesture of goodwill. Quickly, pick more.”

Lanyue directly pushed Gu Sheng’s shoulder to steer him forward, grabbing a handful of Middle-level herbs and stuffing them into his hands.

”Quickly, take more. Don’t be polite with me; if you are, I’ll be upset.”

Holding the herbs, Gu Sheng had a look of resignation on his face.

”Brother Lan, really, it’s not necessary.”

”Gu Sheng, now you’re being distant, aren’t you? Since you don’t mind, just call me ’big brother’ like Lanyao does. The herbs today are your welcoming gift. Seeing you for the first time, I can’t let the gift be light. If you don’t take them, I’ll force them upon you, and whether they’ll be useful is up to chance.”

Lanyue deliberately put on a serious face, leaving Gu Sheng with no choice but to comply.

After picking and choosing for a while, the group finally stopped.

Seeing they still hadn’t taken much, Lanyue sighed helplessly.

”Alright, alright, let’s go. Let’s give you a proper welcome.”

That night, Gu Sheng and his companions stayed with the Elf Clan, drinking late into the night with Lanyue.

The more they talked, the more in tune they became, ultimately calling each other brothers.

After a simple night’s rest, Gu Sheng and the others prepared to leave.

Seeing they were leaving after just one night, Lanyue couldn’t help but speak up, ”Why not stay another night? Leave tomorrow; how about it?”

Hearing this, Gu Sheng shook his head.

”The White Cloud Sect has already headed to the Demon Clan. They are our best support, and we must hurry. If the Demon Clan truly acts, we can all help each other. Otherwise, if we’re late, something might go wrong.”

Understanding what he meant, Lanyue had to suppress his reluctance and lightly nod.

”In that case, I won’t hold you back. After you finish dealing with the Demon Clan, you must return with Lanyao, and we’ll have a good drink together.”

”No problem.”

As soon as Gu Sheng agreed, Lanyue pushed a large bundle into his hands.

”This is for you. It might come in handy on the road.”

Just as Gu Sheng was about to speak, Lanyue cut him off.
