While Zhang Ji praised Chen Shen, Chen Shen's thoughts drifted.
If one could become a divine doctor by using the tracking system in the pharmacy, what about being able to go to other places?
For example, the kitchen, what ingredients go with what ingredients to maximize the nutritional value.
For example, the tailor store, which dress goes with which dress to look the most elegant.
For example, a brothel, which girl is best suited for which guest, length, depth, whatever ...
"Bah, what nonsense am I thinking about."
Chen Shen gave a jolt and stopped thinking nonsense.
However, in his mind, he had made up his mind to wait until he got to certain specific places and try to see if the system could really be used that way.
...
"Stone containing emerald +1."
"Fruit containing poison + 1."
"Clay containing aura +1."
"Tree roots containing the essence of the earth +1."
...
After half a day's work, Chen Shen and his group traveled a hundred miles and stopped at a post station, and at this time, one of the two empty carriages was already half-full.
Among them were all the messy things that Chen Shen had found.
The eyes of the several horsemen looking at Chen Shen changed, as if they were looking at a psychopath.
Herbs, fruits and such were understandable when loaded into the wagon, but digging up a shovelful of dirt and loading it into the wagon, what was wrong with that?
And that stone, dozens of pounds, is the horse not tired enough?
Although they were puzzled, they didn't ask any questions, after all, Chen Shen was an immortal, so there might be reasons they couldn't understand.
Zhang Ji likewise did not ask, except that every time Chen Shen took something, he would ponder for a long time, eventually revealing a look of sudden realization, and did not know what he was thinking alone.
Entering the stagecoach station, the time had already reached eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
"Are there any people with malicious intentions in this stagecoach station?"
Chen Shen asked as he stood in the center of the stagecoach hall.
It was too tiring to be on the defensive, it was better to ask the system.
"No." The system replied.
Hearing this, Chen Shen looked towards Zhang Ji and said, "You can sleep well tonight without worry."
"Uh, should I have someone keep watch?" Zhang Ji questioned.
"No need, with me here, nothing can go wrong."
"Alright ...," Zhang Ji reluctantly agreed.
To be honest, he was still very wary in his heart.
August 1 was the day of Tian Yun Sect's public selection of disciples, and young people throughout Jizhou who aspired to the Immortal Way would all be rushing towards Jizhou City, and the young people who had the stamina and the coils to travel long distances for such a long period of time, seven out of ten of them were all the children of rich families.
Thus, these rich kids naturally became the best targets for robbers and thugs.
Even some honorable people would come out in July to make a guest appearance as robbers and rob a bit, and in order to prevent retaliation, most of those robbed rich kids were killed and silenced.
The rich kids in big cities usually traveled in groups, with hundreds of guards.
However, Zhang Ji, who came out of a small county, did not have many people from one county to seek immortality, so it was really dangerous to the extreme.
If Zhang Ji had not gotten a token from the Heavenly Cloud Sect beforehand, and could enter the Heavenly Cloud Sect as long as he went to Jizhou, then he would not have taken this risk no matter what.
...
After calming his mind, Zhang Ji looked towards Chen Shen, his heart filled with a sense of security.
"Luckily this time, Brother Chen is here, Brother Chen has already saved me twice before, I don't know how many more times he will save me in the future, alas, I, Zhang Ji, owe Brother Chen too much in this life."
Shaking his head, Zhang Ji returned to his room despondently, he had to get up in the early hours of tomorrow morning to catch the road, he had to rest early.
...
Compared to Zhang Ji's tense mind, Chen Shen was very relaxed at the moment, and after returning to the room arranged by the stagecoach, he carefully held out a small pink trumpet flower.
This small trumpet flower was dug up by the side of the road, and its appearance was not any different from ordinary trumpet flowers, and even this trumpet flower seemed to have been bumped, and its branches were a bit broken.
But it was such an ordinary-looking trumpet flower that was certified by the system as "a trumpet flower that has given birth to consciousness".
"A trumpet flower has a self-consciousness, this world is really marvelous."
Chen Shen sighed and then took out the "a stone containing emerald" from his bag that he had prepared beforehand.
He then took out a dagger that he had gotten from the treasure trove and kept digging on the stone, and it wasn't long before he dug out a big pit on the surface of the stone, and a touch of emerald green was revealed from the pit.
This kind of stone, in the previous life would have to be sold for tens of millions of dollars, Chen Shen might not even see it once in his life.
But now in Chen Shen's eyes, it was just like that.
Ever since he became a cultivator, he had become a practical person and had no interest in fancy jewelry.
After digging out a hole, Chen Shen took out another shovelful of soil from his bag.
This soil was "soil containing spiritual qi".
After putting the soil into the stone pit, Chen Shen planted the trumpet flower in it, and then poured a little bit of "water containing spiritual qi".
After this operation, the trumpet flower regained its vitality at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
"Interesting!"
Compared to jewelry, Chen Shen was more interested in strange things like trumpet flowers.
"Little Trumpet Flower, do you understand when I speak?"
Chen Shen said to the little trumpet flower.
The little trumpet flower did not respond.
Chen Shen felt like a fool, talking to a trumpet flower in the middle of the night, if this was in his previous life he would probably be arrested and put in a mental hospital.
But just at this moment, the little trumpet flower suddenly swayed a few times unnoticeably.
Chen Shen's eyes lit up when he saw this, realizing that he had closed all the doors and windows of his room before doing this kind of inexplicable thing.
This also meant that there could be no wind blowing in.
Then how did the flower move?
It was self-evident that it moved on its own!
"Aigooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Interesting, really interesting, move it again for me." Chen Shen caressed the small trumpet flower and said.
A few moments later, the small trumpet flower moved again unnoticeably, not waiting for Chen Shen to continue to be surprised, the small trumpet flower's flower branch suddenly bent a little, the flower changed direction, from facing Chen Shen into back to Chen Shen, as if it was in the general shyness.
Chen Shen was so shocked at this scene that he could barely speak.
"It's not even a problem if a pig becomes a sperm, this trumpet flower can also become a sperm?"
Chen Shen was staggered in his heart.
After observing it for a while longer, he couldn't help but say, "Little Trumpet Flower Child, from now on, you'll be called Little Flower, and when I go to the Heavenly Cloud Sect, follow me to cultivate immortality."
It was not known if the little trumpet flower understood, anyway, after a few moments, it turned around and faced Chen Shen again.
Seeing this, Chen Shen smiled with satisfaction, then continued chipping that stone, and before long, he had chipped a piece of jadeite raw stone into the shape of a flowerpot.
After doing so, Chen Shen cleaned up the ground and then put the little trumpet flower on the bedside.
But just as he was about to fall asleep in peace, a burst of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from the avenue outside the post station.
