Chapter 1026 - 537: Upgrading Weapons

Lan Yao wore a look of anger on his face, and Gu Sheng had no choice but to explain helplessly, "I didn’t disappear on purpose. I’ve been by your side all along. I tried to touch you, but while you could feel the touch, you couldn’t see me."

Hearing this, everyone widened their eyes.

"You’re saying it was you who touched me just now?"

"Yes, you could feel the touch, but you couldn’t see me."

"Where are you?"

"I’m right in front of you."

After Gu Sheng spoke, everyone got goosebumps.

"How is this possible? You’re right in front of me, how can I not see you?"

After Lan Yao said this, Shi Lou and Huang Shan also came over.

"Brother Sheng, did you also touch us?"

"Yes, none of you can see me."

"Why?"

"Maybe it’s because I’m shrouded in Spiritual Energy."

Gu Sheng explained the situation, leaving everyone in shock.

"Gu Sheng, where’s the white grass you mentioned? Take it out and let me see!"

Lan Yao couldn’t wait and reached for Gu Sheng’s pocket, scaring Gu Sheng into backing away quickly.

"We’re all grown men, no need for the hands-on approach."

Gu Sheng took the white grass out from the storage ring and handed it to him.

Receiving the white grass, Lan Yao studied it closely, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Come here, see if this is Spirit Grass."

Upon hearing his words, the native Elf Clan quickly gathered around.

After a while, an exclamation came from the group.

"Young master, this is indeed Spirit Grass!"

"Are you sure?"

"I’m sure! It’s Spirit Grass!"

Upon receiving confirmation again, Lan Yao rushed to Gu Sheng, grinning from ear to ear.

"Gu Sheng, we really got the Spirit Grass! No, you really got the Spirit Grass! How did you do it?"

"The Spirit Grass could sense the aura of the Spiritual Pearl, it came to me on its own."

"It’s miraculous! I never imagined I’d be able to touch Spirit Grass in my lifetime!"

"Do you like it?"

Hearing Gu Sheng’s words, Lan Yao nodded frantically.

"Who wouldn’t like such a treasure?"

Gu Sheng smiled and gave him a few stalks of it.

Seeing the Spirit Grass in his hand, Lan Yao was stunned.

"Gu Sheng, you are..."

"It’s for you. You risked your life to come with me, it’s your reward."

Saying that, Gu Sheng also gave a stalk to the native Elf Clan and others.

They didn’t expect to get a share too and were so overwhelmed with excitement that they bowed deeply.

Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng hurriedly helped them up.

"We’re all on the same team, no need to be so polite. Lan Yao, make them stop."

After Gu Sheng spoke, Lan Yao didn’t intervene but looked seriously at him and said, "Gu Sheng, you deserve it."

Understanding what he meant, Gu Sheng sighed softly, allowing them to finish their gesture.

Turning to his team, Gu Sheng handed over their share.

Everyone received the Spirit Grass and grinned from ear to ear with joy.

"Thank you, Brother Sheng!"

"Brother Sheng is awesome!"

Hearing their repeated praises, Gu Sheng quickly raised his hand to signal them to calm down.

"There are many Exotic Beasts on the mountain, let’s not stir up trouble. Our goal is achieved, let’s head down quickly."

Understanding his point, everyone quieted down and followed him out.

The native Elf Clan escorted them all the way to the foot of Chimu Peak, where they reluctantly bid farewell.

After Gu Sheng said goodbye, Lan Yao stepped forward and said, "If you ever tire of mountain life, you’re always welcome to come to me."

Upon hearing this, they nodded repeatedly.

"Safe travels, young master."

Lan Yao gave them a deep look before finally turning to leave.

In the early morning, they finally left Chimu Peak.

Turning to look back, Gu Sheng gently curled his lips.

"This place is not bad. We can come back when we have the chance."

Hearing this, Lan Yao smiled.

"Gu Sheng, you have to give the Spirit Grass some time to grow, right? It takes at least a century; otherwise, what you get are just seedlings, not very potent."

"We could come back for reasons other than Spirit Grass."

"Other than Spirit Grass? Then what for?"

"Exotic Beasts. Even if we didn’t get Spirit Grass, we’ve still gained a lot this time."

Woken up by his words, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, we’ve gained so many treasures. We could each exchange them for a new weapon, it wasn’t in vain."

Gu Sheng looked into the distance, then pointed in one direction, "Let’s go over there to rest a bit and then forge the weapons."

Understanding what he meant, Shi Lou hurriedly took the lead.

After traveling for quite some time, they finally found reprieve.

Once Gu Sheng summoned the small tripod, everyone lay down to sleep, and soon after, the sound of snoring filled the air.

For a solid two days and nights, they slept soundly.

Gu Sheng lay in the middle, and he too enjoyed a rare good night’s sleep.

As the roosters crowed again outside, they slowly woke up.

"Brother Sheng, I’m hungry..."

Shi Lou said, rubbing his belly, even before fully opening his eyes.

As soon as he said it, Gu Sheng playfully slapped his back.

"If you’re hungry, get up and go hunting. You all go together; the more, the better."

Fully awakened by Gu Sheng’s slap, Shi Lou jumped up, grabbed his weapon, and darted off.

Watching them scurry like wild monkeys, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh.

Once they left, he and Lan Yao took out plenty of materials, dividing them according to everyone’s current cultivation level and weapon preferences.

Once finished, Gu Sheng separately prepared a batch and pushed it to Lan Yao.

"Your weapon could use an upgrade too."

Seeing the items before him, Lan Yao was a bit surprised.

"I get a share too?"

"Why wouldn’t you? Aren’t you part of this team too?"
