The snake curled its body and immediately tucked the two Luminous Pearls into its possession.
The black python lowered its head, licking the Luminous Pearls with its tongue, clearly infatuated with them.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng mustered his courage again and slowly approached the Purple Spiritual Grass.
The moment he touched it, he still felt uneasy and glanced at the black python.
However, the black python was still immersed in the joy of possessing the Luminous Pearls, not even bothering to look at him.
At that moment, Gu Sheng was completely relieved and focused on gathering the Purple Spiritual Grass.
Gu Sheng didn’t completely uproot the Purple Spiritual Grass, only taking the grown part and leaving the roots for the black python.
In just a moment, he had pocketed a piece of the Purple Spiritual Grass.
Patted the storage ring, Gu Sheng, satisfied, backed away.
"Thank you, we won’t disturb you any further."
After speaking, Gu Sheng and his group slowly retreated until they were far enough, at which point the black python returned to its original position.
Gu Sheng quickly led his group out of the cave, only to discover that the outside was already bright.
He took out a few pieces of Purple Spiritual Grass and shared them with the group, smiling, "Although we didn’t sleep tonight, consuming the Purple Spiritual Grass is far more effective than sleeping."
"Brother Sheng, how did you know the black python wanted the Luminous Pearls?"
Shi Lou asked curiously, and everyone looked at Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "I didn’t know either; it was after some probing that I realized this black python is quite intelligent. It controls its killing intent to let me know whether it harbors hostility towards me. After mentioning the Luminous Pearls, its hostility dissipated, and that’s when I knew."
"So that’s how it is. Brother Sheng, you’re so clever. If it were us, we’d surely end up in a fight with that black python."
"A fight might be unavoidable, but who lives and who dies is uncertain."
Huang Shan added, and everyone nodded with a smile.
"So Brother Sheng saved our lives again and not only that, but he also brought us such a treasure as the Purple Spiritual Grass. Following Brother Sheng, we’re not far from achieving great success."
After Shi Lou finished speaking, Gu Sheng playfully slapped the back of his head.
"Hurry up and consume the Purple Spiritual Grass. Only by raising your own cultivation can you get closer to achieving great success."
Shi Lou nodded and, along with the others, quickly absorbed the Spiritual Power of the Purple Spiritual Grass.
Very soon, rays of spiritual light flashed across their bodies and then merged into their foreheads.
Touching his own Dantian, Er Gou exclaimed with surprise, "Brother Sheng, I think I’m about to break through!"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng’s expression immediately became serious.
"Don’t rush the breakthrough, suppress it for now. South Mountain is full of dangers, and if anyone notices you’re breaking through, they’ll definitely stab you in the back."
"I know, I’ve suppressed most of the Spiritual Energy in my Dantian. I’ll wait until we’re back at Stone Village."
