Chapter 231 Boating on the Lake: Quality Over Quantity
The environment of the Starry Sky Forest is somewhat similar to that of a rainforest, with several meters of decaying leaves piled on the ground. The further you go in, the hotter and more humid it becomes, and it is extremely difficult for sunlight to penetrate.
In areas with extremely dense canopies, or even at dusk, visibility is obstructed by darkness.
Of course, the Star Dou Great Forest cannot all be located in such places. The Star Dou Great Forest covers a very large area, which means that it cannot be covered by all trees.
In those places where the trees don't reach, the sunlight shines down, landing on the ground, dazzlingly bright.
In the heart of the Starry Sky Forest, there is a lake with shimmering waves that is quite beautiful. Around the lake is an area where no towering trees have grown yet. Bright sunlight shines in, but some of it is blocked by the towering trees on the outside, creating dappled patterns of light.
Su Chen, Xiao Wu, and Bi Ji walked through the dense forest, stepped out of the ground covered with decaying leaves, and onto the dry soil. The first thing they saw was the sunlight shining on the lake, making the surface of the lake shimmer.
In the center of the lake, Di Tian leisurely tossed a large leaf onto it, lying on the leaf and enjoying the warm feeling of the sun on his body.
"Young Master!"
Upon sensing Su Chen's presence, Di Tian immediately opened his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Su Chen and addressed him respectfully.
"You've sent Brigitte out, and you're having a leisurely time."
Su Chen glanced at the leaves that Di Tian had just enjoyed and jokingly said, "Bi Ji just made that very clear to him."
Di Tian was searching for Su Chen's trail with Bi Ji. However, Su Chen was moving very fast with Xiao Wu by his side, and his direction was constantly shifting left and right. The two of them didn't want to keep chasing after Su Chen, so they discussed it and decided to split up and go in opposite directions.
Later, Bi Ji found Su Chen, and the two of them merged their auras, which made Di Tian understand.
So they arrived early at the center of the Star Dou Great Forest to wait for Su Chen. But Su Chen said halfway there, he had forgotten two medicinal herbs and needed to pick them before he could go over.
This back-and-forth process takes a considerable amount of time.
Di Tian was bored while waiting, so he found a leaf and floated it on the lake to enjoy the sunshine, which was seen by Su Chen.
"Seriously, sunbathing is really nice. Young master, why don't you give it a try?"
Su Chen's teasing didn't frighten Di Tian. At first, when he was following behind Su Chen, the occasional teasing from the other party could startle Di Tian, making him wonder if he had done something to displease Su Chen.
After spending a long time by Su Chen's side, Di Tian came to know Su Chen's personality. As long as he didn't make a big mistake, Su Chen was usually very gentle and kind.
I won't get angry over trivial things.
It was this kind of personality, or rather, charisma, that allowed Di Tian and the others to follow Su Chen. Even when Su Chen said he wanted to kill the gods, Di Tian and the others did not have the slightest thought of betrayal.
So when Su Chen teased him, Di Tian not only didn't say anything but also took the initiative to invite Su Chen to experience it as well.
"Yeah?"
With a calm voice, Su Chen looked up at a towering tree behind him, and an unknown energy burst forth from him in that instant.
The next moment, the towering tree that Su Chen had just glanced at had collapsed and crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
As the dust settled, Su Chen took a step back and looked at Di Tian.
"Cut the wood and put it in the water."
"Let's all enjoy this."
Faced with Su Chen's request, Di Tian readily agreed. Without entrusting the task to others, he rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to walk over. After carefully observing the situation, he began to work on the fallen towering tree.
When Xiao Wu and Bi Ji saw Di Tian go over, they instinctively wanted to go and help.
As soon as they moved, two voices rang out one after the other.
"Girls shouldn't do this kind of hard labor."
"I can do it."
Xiao Wu and Bi Ji exchanged a glance and chose to give up.
Seeing that Di Tianqian was working so hard without even using his soul power, Bi Ji looked away after a while.
"Young Master, what is the purpose of collecting these medicinal herbs?"
"Since we have nothing to do right now, why don't you bring out all the medicinal herbs and various grasses you need... and any unknown herbs so I can take a look, and I'll have the forest spirit beasts search for them."
"It'll be faster, won't it?"
"Can."
Nodding slightly, Su Chen took out all the grass stored in his storage space and placed it in front of Bi Ji, saying...
"The medicine to be refined requires a total of 365 kinds of medicinal materials, of which 108 are not recorded by Douluo."
"These are the remaining 247 kinds of medicinal herbs."
As Su Chen spoke, he reached out and pointed a finger at Bi Ji's brow. A large amount of information flooded into Bi Ji's mind, which turned out to be the names of the remaining two hundred and forty-seven kinds of medicinal herbs.
"Okay, I'll give the instructions right away."
After organizing the information in her mind, Biji's gaze fell on a blade of grass on the ground, and she spoke.
"Young Master, I also need to take these medicinal herbs and make a record of them."
"Take it."
Su Chen waved his hand, not caring that Bi Ji had left. She was currently watching Di Tian build a wooden boat with great interest.
While he was talking to Biji, the wooden boat had already taken shape, and Di Tian was now doing the finishing touches.
Given the other party's speed, Su Chen shouldn't have to wait too long.
Almost at the same time that Biji returned, the wooden boat was completely finished and was carried by Di Tian and thrown into the lake.
Ripples spread across the lake, and the wooden boat floated steadily on its surface, swaying from side to side with the undulations.
The wooden boat was small, only about three meters long and two meters wide, with pointed ends. There were no oars on it, and with the strength of four people, they wouldn't need to use them.
Emperor Xian boarded the wooden boat for a final check, followed by Su Chen, Bi Ji, and Xiao Wu, who came up in turn.
The wooden boat moved without wind and slowly came to the center of the lake. The sun was shining brightly overhead, warming my body.
Su Chen reached out of the wooden boat, letting the lake water flow through his fingertips. He glanced at Bi Ji, making sure that the collection of medicinal herbs had been properly handed over.
After confirming, Su Chen looked at Di Tian and spoke.
"Achieving the goal will be difficult."
"It was precisely because of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King that I discovered that immortal energy can also enhance your strength."
"Your skill level is insufficient."
Su Chen looked at the bright eyes of the three people beside him and immediately understood what wonderful things they were thinking.
If he could elevate his cultivation level, he would have become a god by now.
The three of them were momentarily disappointed after hearing Su Chen's subsequent words, but then they returned to normal.
"Does the young master mean that you will bestow upon us immortal energy to enhance our strength and increase our chances of victory?"
As Di Tian calculated, he asked questions.
"right."
Su Chen nodded and looked at Di Tian.
"To deal with him, it's not about having as many people as possible; it's about prioritizing quality over quantity."
"What you say is absolutely right, young master."
Di Tian fully agreed with Su Chen's statement about "valuing essence," but he had a different opinion regarding Su Chen's idea of using immortal energy to enhance their strength. (End of Chapter)
