Hundred Thousand Mountains.

It was the largest forest in Xia Country. Ancient trees towered into the sky, and there were exotic beasts, flowers, and plants everywhere.

It was a paradise for plants and animals but a graveyard for humans.

There were many warning signs around the forest.

"Reminder: dangerous inside. Do not enter."

Still, people always managed to sneak inside the forest—the Hundred Thousand Mountains was filled with danger, but it was a treasure chest of resources.

There were various precious plants and animals in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and each sold higher than the next.

People were always tempted by money, after all.

…

On this day, a group of people arrived outside the forest.

Qin Chuan brought the 50 students from the Alchemy specialization here.

They were here to collect alchemy ingredient.

He would take too long to collect the ingredients himself, so Qin Chuan brought the 50 people from the first batch of the Alchemy specialization here.

They had memorized so much about medicinal herbs. If there were medicinal herbs recorded in the book found here, they could collect them too.

…

"Everyone, remember this. After entering, listen to my instructions and do not wander around," Qin Chuan emphasized.

Everyone was very cooperative. They lined up in two rows and followed Qin Chuan.

Under the Qin Chuan's lead, everyone entered the forest.

As these people had yet to reach the level where they could use Sword Kinesis Flight, Qin Chuan had to pave the way for them at the front.

…

After walking for an entire morning, Qin Chuan stopped.

The journey was rather smooth and normal. It was not as dangerous as said on the internet.

On the contrary, it was quiet. Besides the small animals he saw, it was no different from the other forests.

"Sect Master, is there the Moonlight Fruit here?" someone asked.

Qin Chuan surveyed the surroundings and nodded his head, "I think so."

According to the information on the Internet, the Moonlight Fruit grew in damp and shady places.

They were in a valley surrounded by streams. The area didn't get much sun, so it seemed like a suitable environment for the Moonlight Fruit to grow.

Just like that, Qin Chuan released his divine consciousness and began searching for the Moonlight Fruit.

With his divine consciousness, he quickly discovered the Moonlight Fruit.

The Moonlight Fruits were like peanuts—they grew under the soil. The fruit was about the same size as an apple, but its stem and leaves were small and very short. They were only five or six inches tall, so it was very difficult to notice.

Fortunately, he had the divine consciousness, which saved him the time in searching.

After discovering the Moonlight Fruits in this valley, Qin Chuan flew to the other nearby valleys.

He planned to collect more since he was already here.

With the help of his divine consciousness, he found five other places where the Moonlight Fruit was available.

After returning, Qin Chuan pointed his finger at the air, causing 50 light dots to appear and enter the foreheads of these 50 individuals.

This light spot contained a map with the location of each Moonlight Fruit.

After that, Qin Chuan divided the fifty people into five groups and selected five team leaders.

"Jiang Guihua, your group will stay here to collect the Moonlight Fruits."

"Wu Dafu, your group will go to Valley B to collect the Moonlight Fruits."

"Zheng Hongyan, your group is going to Valley C to collect the Moonlight Fruits."

I "…"

Qin Chuan gave the five team leaders a storage bag and carefully instructed them on fruit collection.

There were many Moonlight Fruits in the five regions.

Qin Chuan estimated that it would take about two days to collect all of them.

In these two days, he had some things to settle.

Previously, he had contacted a dealer selling rare herbs.

This dealer had a few ingredients for the Qi Gathering Pill.

He could take this opportunity to go over and take a look.

If the dealer had a steady supply of ingredients, they could work together for the long term.

In this way, Qin Chuan could guarantee the production of Qi Gathering Pills.

He had taught the 50 people who were remaining behind to collect the Moonlight Fruits some survival skills bringing them here. In addition, as immortal cultivators, survival shouldn't be a problem.

Hence, Qin Chuan left in peace.

…

Jiang Guihua's team.

Jiang Guihua held a hoe in one hand. Her other hand was on her waist, and her foot was on a rock. Her head was slightly raised at a 45-degree angle. As the mountain breeze blew gently, her long hair fluttered in the wind.

At first glance, she had the demeanor of a big sister.

he said imposingly, "This is the first mission assigned to us by the Sect Master. We must complete it well and finish it before the other four groups. Are you confident?"

The nine people below her had shining eyes. They raised their small shovels and shouted in unison, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Alright, let's begin!"

Jiang Guihua took the lead.

She found the location of one of the fruits from the memory Qin Chuan gave them.

Then, she spat on her hand.

Bah!

She picked up the hoe and used the strength of the second class of Qi Refinement.

The Sect Master had said that the Moonlight Fruit grew about half a meter deep in the soil, so they had to use great strength in hoeing.

Her swing was as fierce as a tiger; the ground trembled.

Jiang Guihua's movements were very experienced and smooth. She had obviously done farm work when she was young.

The hoe sank into the soil. Jiang Guihua pulled it up and effortlessly pulled out a large piece of soil.

The Moonlight Fruit was hidden in the soil.

It was emerald green and crystal clear. It almost looked like Imperial jade.

Jiang Guihua carefully put the Moonlight Fruit into the storage bag.

When the nine others saw that Jiang Guihua dig out the Moonlight Fruit so easily, they immediately began to work.

Ha!

Ha!

Everyone did their best to swing their hoes. They followed Jiang Guihua's tips and soon found fruit.

In just a few minutes, they had collected over thirty Moonlight Fruits.

Meanwhile, the other groups were on their way to the various valleys.

At the same time, a party arrived outside the valley where Jiang Guihua was.

They were all armed and had firearms. They looked like mercenaries.

From their appearance, they seemed like foreigners.

There were eight white people and four black people. Two of them were women.

The group was a part of an internationally renowned poaching organization that specialized in hunting and selling rare animals.

Apart from being poachers, they were also killers.

On the dark web's Assassin Alliance rankings, they were all killers with more than 50 stars.

Hence, all of them were very skilled.

However, the ongoing global economic downturn's impact on their trafficking industry was significant.

It was hard to find a buyer for their hunted animals.

Since they could not earn any money, they could only go to the dark web to receive orders.

And this time, they were here because they had received a huge deal worth several million yuan on the dark web.

It was not to kill, but to hunt.

They were very professional when it came to hunting. Along the way, they found animals that could be sold for money and didn't let any of them go.

They hadn't found what their client needed yet, but It was just a matter of time.

Sha sha sha!

At this moment, a stir came from above.

The group of people subconsciously looked up.

"It looks like a golden snub-nosed monkey?" One of the black men exclaimed.

"That seems right."

"We can definitely sell it. The brain always sells for a high price."

"Then leave this little guy to me," said one of the girls confidently.

The others had no objections.

The girl removed her backpack and went to hunt the golden snub-nosed monkey.
