The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2979 The treatment was quite effective.
When Qian Zhenghao heard what Chen Mo said, he was naturally overjoyed to be able to survive.

However, his resentment towards Chen Mo had reached its peak.

He was also thinking to himself, "Just wait and see. When he gets back, I'll make sure to badmouth this guy to my heart's content. I might even instigate Elder Qian to take action against him and kill him before I can calm down my anger."

Of course, Qian Zhenghao also clearly understood the situation regarding Chen Mo. He didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, but kept it all to himself.

Half an hour later, Qian Zhenghao felt his body recovering, especially his injured leg, which was no longer numb but could move slightly, and he could control his leg.

Although Ouyang Nan was talking to Ouyang Ruoxi and Ouyang Nana, she was also observing Qian Zhenghao from time to time. When she saw that he could move his legs a little, she stood up, walked to Qian Zhenghao's side, and asked, "How are you feeling now? I just saw that you could move your legs?"

Qian Zhenghao nodded and said, "Captain, I can no longer feel the numbness in my leg, and I can move it a little. It seems the snake venom has been removed. I'm recovering."

Inwardly, however, he was screaming: 'You're just a woman, a captain, utterly worthless! I can move, I can dispel snake venom, only because I'm powerful enough to withstand the poison. Otherwise, do you think a mere red thread fruit could cure me? You piece of shit, you and that other guy, you just wait, when I get back, I'll make sure Elder Qian kills you all!'

Ouyang Nan naturally couldn't hear Qian Zhenghao's inner complaints and grievances. Instead, she nodded and said to Chen Mo, "Amo, it seems you were right. The toxins were indeed removed in half an hour. This red thread fruit really does have therapeutic effects."

Chen Mo chuckled and stepped forward to carefully observe Qian Zhenghao's condition. He found that Qian Zhenghao had recovered and his face had regained some color. So, Master Qingxuan's memory was correct. Whether one is a cultivator or a martial artist, as long as one is bitten by a Red Thread Fruit and eats the Red Thread Fruit in time, there should be no problem.

Then, Chen Mo pulled Ouyang Nan aside and returned to Ouyang Ruoxi's side, saying, "Aunt, I've decided to go back later and get more Red Thread Fruit, so that when we enter this thicket again, we'll have some protection."

"No, it's too dangerous." Before Ouyang Nan could answer, Ouyang Ruoxi had already rejected the idea.

Those venomous snakes, as thin as chopsticks, moved with lightning speed, making them impossible to dodge. Chen Mo was now thinking of going back, but that wouldn't do; she didn't want to put herself in danger.

"It's alright, don't you know my strength?" Chen Mo leaned closer to Ouyang Ruoxi and whispered in her ear, "Besides, all innate masters have domains. As long as I activate my domain, those first-line reds won't be able to attack me. So, you should rest assured, I'll be fine."

Qian Zhenghao was incredibly annoyed to see Chen Mo and Ouyang Ruoxi so close together, even whispering in each other's ears. They'd been out for so long, and naturally hadn't had any romantic encounters in ages. Seeing these two lovebirds so intimate filled him with a sour feeling that could practically open a vinegar shop.

“Aunt, if we don’t start collecting now, our chances of gathering Red Thread Fruit later when we join the main group will be very slim. After all, there are relatively few Red Thread Fruits here to begin with, and after the main group of martial artists collects them, there might not be many left. So I want to collect some in advance, so that when we pass through here later, we won’t be short of Red Thread Fruits, and we’ll be safer,” Chen Mo said.

Chen Mo's statement was actually correct. Red Thread Fruit is indeed less abundant than the First Line Red Snake. However, if one were to use Red Thread Fruit as an antidote for this type of venomous snake, then a second bite would require consuming another Red Thread Fruit.

Compared to snake gall, the red thread fruit is more like a one-time use product. No matter how many times you bite into it, you have to consume that many red thread fruits. Snake gall, on the other hand, is like a bug; once you consume one snake gall, you can resist the toxins of the red thread fruit for a long time. Therefore, Chen Mo naturally calls snake gall a bug.

After listening to Chen Mo's words, Ouyang Nan hesitated for a moment, but then thought he was right. She should prepare more red thread fruit for added safety.

As for the martial artists from the Ouyang family, well, they've already betrayed us. When I return to my own base, I'll definitely punish them. Speaking of which, what Chen Mo just said is absolutely correct.

Although there are only five people now, apart from Chen Mo, who is a master of innate level, the others, including myself, are probably a little weaker. So it's good to find some more Red Thread Fruits to be prepared.

“Okay, but you need to be careful.” Once Ouyang Nan made up her mind, she didn’t hesitate and said directly to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded, then tugged at Ouyang Ruoxi's hand before turning back towards the bushes he had cleared. Ouyang Ruoxi, behind him, reminded him, "Be careful."

"Pah! What a pair of adulterers, who are they trying to impress? This constant bickering and pulling is just too much." Qian Zhenghao thought resentfully upon seeing Chen Mo and Ouyang Ruoxi's interaction.

Fortunately, Ouyang Ruoxi was wearing a disguise mask, thus concealing her true appearance. Therefore, although Qian Zhenghao was jealous, he didn't have any intention of replacing her. Anyway, he was somewhat annoyed with Chen Mo; they were both on adventures, so why was Chen Mo surrounded by so many beautiful women, while he had nothing?

Even if you return to the Ouyang family, you will still be faced with a group of men who don't even wash their feet before going to bed. It's disgusting to even think about it!

Chen Mo was unaware of Qian Zhenghao's complaints. He darted into the path carved out of the bushes, paused briefly, observed the area with his divine sense, and then continued forward.

This time, it was much simpler than the last time when he had to clear a path as he walked. As long as he paid attention to his surroundings, he didn't need to use his longsword to cut a passage again.

And so, they returned to the spot where they had been bitten by the red raven, and took out a long knife to start cutting the bushes nearby.

Although the bushes were quite dense, we soon found more red thread fruit plants. Red thread fruit is a type of fruit, so as long as the plant is not damaged after harvesting the fruit, it will grow back next year.

Therefore, when Chen Mo saw the Red Thread Fruit, he used his divine sense to scan it and transferred it into his Qiankun Bag.

He dug out the red thread fruit plant with a quick turn and a jump using his long knife.

Then, he took out a jade box from his Qiankun bag and put it inside.

If the red thread fruit is harvested without harming the plant, it will grow again next year. Therefore, Chen Mo put the red thread fruit plant into the jade box to protect it.

When the time comes, place the Red Thread Fruit plants in the Qiankun Pearl, find a place to plant Red Thread Fruit everywhere, and then there will be a continuous supply of Red Thread Snake Gallbladders.

Chen Mo's face lit up with joy at the thought of something wonderful, and he quickened his pace even further.

Before long, Chen Mo picked another ten or so red thread fruits. If there were many red thread fruits here, then the number of these detoxifying red thread fruits would be quite limited. For safety's sake, he still needed to find more red thread fruits.

Just as Chen Mo was happily picking the fruit, a red ribbon suddenly darted out from the bushes beside him.

This guy actually knew how to launch a sneak attack; he's incredibly clever.

But what use is intelligence? Chen Mo's divine sense had already been monitoring the surrounding three and a half meters radius at all times. So when the red streak shot out and rushed straight towards him, Chen Mo had already reached out and was watching the streak of red streak rush up.

But to Chen Mo's surprise, just as he was waiting for the red line to come up so he could grab it, another red line flashed on the other side of his body, heading straight for his hand.

With a "snap!", Chen Mo caught one of the red streaks, but on the other side, another red streak appeared and bit into Chen Mo's wrist before he could pull his hand away.

With a "plop!" sound, it bit down decisively, but with a flash of light, the venomous fangs didn't bite Chen Mo, but instead bit the Vajra Talisman.

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Mo threw away the long knife he was holding, then with one hand he turned around and grabbed the red thread that was biting the Vajra Talisman.

Without wasting any time, one snake was first put into the Qiankun bag, and then the belly of the other snake was cut open to take out its gall bladder.

This time, I'll try the taste of snake gall again. I casually tossed away the snake gall-free, now devoid of gall.

Then take out the red line, extract the snake gall again, and swallow it directly.

After consuming the two snake galls, Chen Mo felt a warmth in his dantian, as if his internal energy had strengthened slightly. Of course, this strengthening was only slight and not significant. To accelerate his strength improvement, he needed more of the One-Line Red snake galls.

There are still too few red-lined people in this area.

It seems I'll have to do it again tonight, catching some Red Thread Snakes and Red Thread Fruits and putting them into the Qiankun Pearl. After the Red Thread Snakes reproduce, he can eat more of their gallbladders.

As Chen Mo pondered this, he continued searching for the Red Thread Fruit, waiting for it to attack so he could capture it.

However, Chen Mo did not kill the captured Yixianhong. Instead, he put it directly into his Qiankun bag. This way, when he returned, he would find some time to feed each of the three, including Ouyang Ruoxi, a snake gall bladder so that they would not be afraid of Yixianhong's poison.

After searching for a long time and collecting over a hundred red thread fruits, as well as about twenty fruits from the plant, I turned around and walked back.

He didn't capture many of the "First Line Red" (a derogatory term for high-ranking criminals), and even when they attacked him later, he gave up on making arrests and decided to wait until nightfall.

Otherwise, once these red-lined birds are caught, they can only be put into the Qiankun Bag. Without air, they will die. So it's better to wait until next time and catch more alive ones.

At this moment, more and more red streaks kept flying out of the bushes like lightning, rushing up to bite. However, Chen Mo ignored these red streaks that were offered up to him and directly flashed forward along the passage.

Since I have the Vajra Talisman, these red-lined talismans won't be able to penetrate my defenses. I'll just wait until I leave this place.
