Acai's Sky

Chapter 928: The Tucao Conference after the Secret Realm Taobao

One month in the outside world is equivalent to more than three thousand days and moons in Wangyou City.

Wangyou City, City Lord's Mansion Meeting Hall

"Oh my god, I really can't take it anymore!" Ah Cai slumped down in a chair like a puddle of mud, shouting weakly, "I need to rest for a while, I really can't dig anymore! If I keep digging like this, I feel like I'm going crazy!"

She complained and gasped for breath, as if she had just experienced a life-and-death battle.

It's not her fault. After all, she has been digging continuously for a long time, and has searched all the spiritual medicine gardens in the world of immortal cultivation, even those super treasure maps.

Seeing this, Qin General Wang Li also breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "Finally, I can take a break! I'm going to throw up if I keep on playing with secret realms. I'm crazy, playing with one secret realm over a hundred times..."

However, Emperor Ming Zhu Di disagreed. He widened his eyes and retorted, "How can you, the well-fed men, understand the suffering of the hungry? We have so many soldiers to feed. How can we not dig up some top-grade spiritual herbs? One top-grade spiritual herb can feed a soldier for several months!"

Emperor Ming Zhu Gaochi narrowed his eyes, glared fiercely at Qin General Wang Li, and said unhappily, "A gentleman loves wealth but earns it in a proper way. We've only put in a tiny bit of effort to reap a tiny bit of benefit. Why not? Once we've rested, we can continue digging!"

Ming minister Yang Shiqi quickly echoed, "It's good for her to rest a bit. This is really a bit too much for the master. Let her have a good rest first!"

Mozhe Gao Shizi also nodded in agreement. "Besides, my storage bags and space buttons are almost empty. Let's leave those spiritual medicine gardens alone for now!"

In the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion of Wangyou City, the complaints of the crowd rose one after another, as if they were about to blow the roof of the meeting hall off.

Qin General Wang Li rubbed his sore shoulders and muttered, "You don't know, every time I enter a secret realm, my heart pounds. The traps and gadgets there are endless, like they're free."

"Once, I was nearly shot into a hedgehog by an arrow that suddenly appeared! And those monsters guarding the spiritual plants were so ferocious. When they competed with us for the spiritual herbs, they fought harder than we did in battle. The wounds on my body were not healed, and new ones were added."

As he spoke, he lifted up his sleeves, revealing the dense scars on his arms, his face full of helplessness.

Emperor Ming Zhu Di snorted after hearing this: "What are you talking about? Every time I take soldiers in, I have to keep an eye on them, for fear that something unexpected might happen."

"Those soldiers were so excited when they saw the spiritual herbs that they looked like they were treasures. Sometimes, they almost fought in the secret realm just to grab a single spiritual herb."

"I'm almost hoarse from shouting constantly to maintain order. Furthermore, every time I emerge from the secret realm, I have to worry about being discovered by other immortal cultivation forces. That constant fear is not pleasant."

Emperor Ming Zhu Gaochi curled his lips and said, "Dad, please stop complaining. We are fighting for the great cause of regional war!"

"But, honestly, the distribution of the spiritual herbs in those secret realms is ridiculous. Sometimes we search for a long time and can't find even a single one, and then suddenly a large number of them appear, as if they were deliberately teasing us. My legs are almost broken from walking. I feel like I could have circled Wangyou City several times."

Ming minister Yang Shiqi sighed, "Everyone, I think the most troublesome thing is recording these spiritual herbs. Each one has different characteristics and uses. My head is almost full."

"Furthermore, every time I dig up a new spiritual herb, I have to study it carefully, fearing I'll miss out on any precious benefits. This is more tiring than handling court affairs!"

Mohist Gao Shizi smiled wryly and said, "I sympathize with what you're saying. But I'm more worried about the storage space. I've improved my storage bag and space button many times, but it's still not enough."

"Every time I look at those spiritual herbs that haven't been packed away yet, I feel like I'm being scratched by a cat. Furthermore, when moving the spiritual herbs, I have to be extremely careful, for fear of damaging them. Some spiritual herbs are very delicate and will lose their effectiveness if touched even slightly."

Ah Cai listened to everyone's complaints, smiled bitterly and waved her hands: "Alright, alright, everyone, stop complaining. I know everyone's worked hard, but we've also gained a lot, haven't we?"

"How about this, let's take a few more days off this time to get ourselves together, and also study these spiritual herbs to see if we can develop better uses for them."

After hearing this, although everyone was still a little dissatisfied, they also knew that what Ah Cai said made sense, so they could only nod helplessly.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall gradually eased, but the complex emotions in everyone's hearts about the excavation of the secret realm were difficult to dissipate for a long time.

Mozhe Xu Ruo muttered to himself, as if talking to someone, "If only all secret realms were like the [Ziyuan Secret Realm]. After entering, all I have to do is focus on digging herbs, and I don't have to waste my energy on dealing with those ferocious monsters!"

Zhao Qiao, the Mohist who was standing by, rolled her eyes when she heard him and said unhappily, "Didn't you hear what Lord Yang said? Entering the secret realm isn't just a matter of exerting some effort; it's a considerable drain on the master's energy! Furthermore, I wonder how many Supreme-Grade Spirit Gathering Pills he's used up just to enter the secret realm and collect spiritual herbs!"

Ah Cai narrowed her eyes, staring intently at her skill panel with a satisfied smile on her face. "It's not bad, though! My skill level actually increased by 20 this time, now it's at level 55! Remember, the highest level of this skill is only level 60!"

At this moment, 00541, who had been squatting on the armrest of Ah Cai's seat, suddenly interrupted and said, "What's so strange about this? You've already cleared every secret realm hundreds of times. It would be strange if your skills haven't been upgraded yet!"

Ah Cai ignored it and continued to look at his skills:

Secondary occupation:

1. Brewer: Grandmaster Brewer (174/)

2. Sewing Technician: Senior Sewing Technician (1080/2000)

3. Chef: Grand Master Chef (10/5000)

4. Planter: Grand Master Planter (128/5000)

5. Appraiser: Grand Master Appraiser (689/5000)

Ah Cai was so happy now because her secondary occupation, Planter, had finally been successfully promoted to Grandmaster level! This was an achievement she had worked so hard for a long time to achieve!

However, her mood sank a little when she thought of her other secondary occupation, sewing skills.

Although she had mastered the sewing skills in her mind, it was completely different when she started to do it.

In order to improve her sewing skills to a high level, she had wasted countless amounts of fabric and fur, which were all precious resources!

00541, who was standing by, almost got angry when he heard Ah Cai's complaints.

It couldn't help but say to Ah Cai, "Listen to what you're saying! You chose your secondary class skill yourself, and now you're complaining? If you had known it would be like this, why did you choose it in the first place? It's too late to regret it now!"
