Chapter 33: Exploring the forest

Su Lan end up going with Yu Leng and his bodyguard to explore the forest. She didn't know what to do after coming out of the city. Since she already out , she might as well take a look around. Su Lan collected medical herbs along the way and planted it in her secret garden world (jade bracelet). To plant the herb, she only needed to dig out the plant with the roots and throw it in the jade bracelet. The plant will be automatically sorted in the right area and planted.

Su Lan was never had a chatty character. She would only speak when spoken to most of the time. As for speaking with strangers it was only done when necessary. To Su Lan it was already out of character that she spoke to Yu Leng. Yu Leng was the one who had spoken most of the way. In the end, Su Lan finally knew why Yu Leng was in this realm. Although, she wasn't sure if what he said was the truth but, it was amusing to have a person whose mouth and eyes were twitching this whole time behind them. She could tell but the bodyguard expressions that Yu Leng was acting out character. According to Yu Leng, he is look for a medicine that only grows in this realm. The medicine he was look for is rare plant. The plant had a bell like structure kind of like the lily of the valley. As Su Lan listen to Yu Leng description of the herb, she was wondering why it sound so familiar. After thinking for a while Su Lan finally remember where she had saw that herb. She had a batch growing in her secret garden world. When she was wondering if she should give some to him a screen pop up.

Su Lan wanted to take a broom and sweep it out! In her mind "what?!".

Reminder: The current world you are in isn't the one you have known before. It is a world of survival of the fittest. Just because so far the people you met cares about you doesn't mean everyone can be trusted. The medicine you were going to hand out worth a lot more than you can imagine just like every medicinal herb in your garden. Even normal herbs in your garden is precious. The medicinal effect is 10 times more effect without side effects.

Su Lan: "....."

Su Lan threw out the thought of giving out her herbs. The three of them travel deeper into the forest and finally reached the large lake in the middle region of the forest. The lake with not normal and the temperature here below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. If normal people were here they would already be frozen to death. With the cultivation level of the three of them the temperature had no effect on them. Pom Pom who was in Su Lan's arms tried to push himself higher to take a look around.

Pom Pom's paws pushed down on Su Lan's arms and a fluffy white head pop out turn his head to check the environment. Su Lan adjusted her hold on Pom Pom so he could look around easily.

Su Lan: "Is this the place the herb is located?"

Yu Leng (with a serious look): "According to the informant this is the place."

Su Lan: "Should we go in and check then?"

Yu Leng: "We don't know what it is here. It is too dangerous, still here and wait."

Su Lan: "I already came all the way here how can I back out now. Also you can see my cultivation level right? Then you should know in this realm my level is the highest level this realm can accept."

Yu Leng: "So you know of the higher realms?"

Su Lan (in her mind a mini Su Lan freezes on the spot): What am I saying is this what people call getting sold and still count money for others?

Su Lan: "I know but never when to the higher realms."

Yu Leng: "I guessed so it isn't easy for people from the upper realms to come down to this realm after all."

Su Lan: "Oh? How did you come down here then?"

Both Yu Leng and his bodyguard looks at her. One with curious look and the other with a death glare.

Su Lan (stares at them with a "are you stupid" look): "Stop staring at me like that. It is obvious that both of you aren't from this realm. I already said my cultivation level should be the highest level in this realm but, I can't tell the level both of you are in. Also, according to what Yu Leng said before about the herb only found in this realm means both of you are not from this realm. Also, if you guys aren't from the higher realm how do you know it hard to come down to this realm."

Yu Leng coughs and turn his head away. The bodyguard glared at his master with look saying "you sold us out".

Su Lan: "Are we still getting the herb?"

Yu Leng: "Aren't you curious about the realm above?"

Su Lan: "No, at least not yet. I have somethings I need to do in this realm."
