C114 The Calm Grey Valley(part I)

Zilch had wanted to say that she had given it to Roarke, that he had given it to you as his own will, but now that they are in the Elven colony, she needs the gratitude and goodwill of others. After a slight hesitation, he nodded, "If you can help me find the medicinal herbs, maybe I can give you even more."

These Elves would usually collect medicinal ingredients to sell, but in the market, ordinary medicinal ingredients could not be traded for Mysterious Enhancement Potions. Ordinary Xuan Wu cultivators were also unable to obtain precious medicinal herbs.

After hearing from Loke that the pill was a mystical strengthening drug, Rio could not wait to try one. He did not expect the effect to be so obvious that it would be able to resist his cultivation alone for one to two years. How could he not be shocked and grateful? Other than the one he used, he still had three more. If he could get one to sell in the market, it would be a huge amount of wealth!

"What medicinal herbs do you need?" With his strength, he would have done it in order to repay the purple silk, even if it was dangerous to find some herbs.

Zi Ling smiled faintly. "I need all sorts of medicinal ingredients. I'm a pharmacist, and medicinal ingredients can be used in different ways in my hands."

Rio was very surprised as he had never heard such words before. There were very few pharmacists, and even if precious herbs were sent to their doorsteps, there would not be anyone who would give them the Mystical Enhancing Potion.

"Uncle Rio, my sister is very powerful. Believe her, since he needs all kinds of herbs, you should gather more for her."

"Oh, okay, I have some at home, I'll send it over to you right away."

After Rio left, one after another the elves came to express their gratitude to Violet, and sent her many berries. If it were any other person, Zilch would certainly not have the patience to see it, but these elves were sincere and kind, and Zilch endured her temper — she had seen it all before, and she repeated what she had told Rio.

Listening to how the Purple Ribbon needed spiritual herbs, Loke crawled into the hole in the tree that he had hidden away. He took out the medicinal herbs that he had stored for a period of time and placed them in front of the Purple Ribbon, "Elder sister, you need the medicinal herbs, I'll give these to you."

Zi Ling's gaze swept through the medicinal plants. They were all ordinary spiritual herbs. It was obvious that Loke wasn't even a Black Tortoise. How could he gather precious medicinal herbs?

Zi Ling's gaze fell onto Loke, "Why are you collecting these ingredients?"

Locke answered automatically, "I'll use these things to go to the market in exchange for something I need."

"These elves all love to help others. Didn't they help you?"

Locke nodded. "They're all fine, I'm the one who's willing to do it. I don't have parents or relatives, I can't rely on other elves all my life, and I can support myself with my own hands." It was a small body, but it hid the determination that ordinary people lacked.

"These things are useless to me. You should go change the berries." Zi Ling calmly said.

Loke's eyes widened. "You said just now that all sorts of ingredients are needed …"

"I won't say it like that. Will the elves who accept my pills accept it peacefully?"

"Then what do you need?" "I'll go find them. If you give them all the Mystical Enhancement Potions, what do you need?"

Zi Ling shook her head, "That thing no longer has any use for me, but it does have some use for you."

Actually, a few of the herbs that Locke had collected were what she needed, but if he wanted them in exchange for the life of a berry, she naturally wouldn't want them. As for the normal herbs sent by the elves, it would be very easy to find the ingredients needed to make the Pei-Yuan Dan.

Just as the two of them were talking, a light sound came from behind Zi Ling. Locke stood on tiptoe and looked past her over the purple silk.

Zhu'er snorted lightly and slowly woke up. What entered her eyes was a rather narrow space.

She rubbed her aching head and let out a soft 'hiss'. Her gaze turned to meet Zi Ling's gaze.

"You're awake? Is there any more pain? "

Zhu'er's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "Miss, why are you here?" Pearl blinked, as if she thought she was hallucinating.

After blinking a few times, she found that the environment in front of her and her figure didn't change at all. An ecstatic smile instantly appeared on her face. "Miss, it's really you!"

"Of course it's me. The Shadow Devil found me and told me everything you've done. You're too bold. Next time, don't be so reckless!" Zi Ling lectured.

Zhu'er chuckled, "Isn't that a sudden realization? If not, how could we have met so quickly?" As Zhu'er spoke, she also noticed that there was a little elf sticking his head out from behind Zi Ling.

"Hey, if you want to look, then come over and look. What are you sneaking around for?" Pearl waved to Locke.

Locke looked at Violet, then at Pearl. "Are you human, too?"

Pearl moved her arm, "It's a forgery."

Pearl had a lively and easy-going personality, and this unusual little elf named Loke was quickly subdued by her. Not long after, Loke kept pestering her about the interesting things that had happened to humans.

At this time, Zi Ling had already left the tree hole and found a quiet place to cultivate.

Pearl took the berry from Locke and began to eat it in great gulps. "It's delicious. I starved your sister to death."

Loke opened his eyes wide, staring at Zhu'er, "Were you seriously injured in order to save big sister Ye Ling?"

Zhu'er carelessly nodded her head, "She is my master, even when going through fire and water, she will not refuse."

"Master? I heard from Grandfather Paparek that you are Elder Sister Ye Ling's retainer, right? "

Pearl nodded and stroked his pointed head, "Smart!"

"Sister Ye Ling said that I can cultivate as well. If I were to help her deal with the enemy in the future, wouldn't I be her retainer like you?" Locke continued.

Zhu'er shook her head, "A squire is not something you can become just because you want to. First of all, you have to obtain the approval of your master. Of course, you also have the heart to sacrifice your life for your master."

Locke thought it over and found that this was a profound question, one that he did not fully understand, even if he was very precocious.

"Alright, I've long heard that the Fairies enjoy a beautiful scenery. Bring me out for a stroll." Pearl propped herself up on Roarke's thin shoulder, then patted his thin shoulder gently. "Roarke, you're so thin.

Locke smiled up at her but said nothing.

Zhu'er was also a clever girl. After waking up, she understood many things from her conversation with Loke. She took off the small bag she brought with her, which contained all kinds of snacks. It was her favorite.

"Locke, close your eyes." Pearl smiled and bent down to pinch Locke's face.

Looking at Zhu'er's smiling face, Loke obediently closed his eyes.

Pearl took out all kinds of snacks and spread them on her palm, "Alright, open your eyes."

Locke opened his eyes to a pile of fragrant objects, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Sister Pearl, what are these?"

"Tasty things, you can try." With that, Pearl picked up a sweet and stuffed it into Locke's small, slightly opened mouth.

Locke tasted the sweetness, and his eyes widened. He smacked his lips and said, "Big sister Zhu Er, it's so delicious!"

Pearl touched the top of his head, "Alright, these are all for you. Eat slowly."

Loke stretched out his hand and carefully accepted it. "Then can I give Sister Nina and the others some?"

"Sure, you can give it to the other Elves, but you'll lose out on it yourself. Big Sister Zhu'er only has this much." Pearl said softly.

Loke shook his head. "It's alright. I'll eat less. I'll let Big Sister Nina and the others have a taste. Delicious!"

"Alright, I'll give it to whoever you want to eat. Now take me for a walk, I'm completely stiff from lying down." Pearl kept twisting her arms and legs. She felt stiff and sore.

If it wasn't for Zi Ling using her spirit energy to recuperate her wounds, the aching pain from waking up would have lasted for at least a few days. It was all thanks to Xue Dan and Zi Ling that she was able to walk around as soon as she woke up.

When Loke led Zhu Er into the village, the news of Zi Ling's group arriving and giving the Black Tortoise's medicine had already spread. Therefore, the Elves were extremely grateful to see Zi Ling and the others.

"Is she one of those humans, Roarke?" Some of the elves asked Locke.

Loke nodded with a smile. "Yes, she's Big Sister Pearl."

Pearl, who also had a lively disposition, greeted the elves and soon gained their goodwill, becoming one with them.

Before long, Pearl was surrounded by a few female elves, who were staring at her curiously, stroking her head and touching her face.

Some naughty ones boldly said, "You humans look really strange. Your hair is so black, and your ears are so small."

Zhu'er resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She wanted to say, "In our eyes, you guys look so weird!"

"That's right, that's how we humans look, just like you elves with pointed ears, green skin and blue skin …"

Soon after, Pearl became familiar with the elves, who were still reluctant to let her go when Locke urged her to leave.

"Zhu Er, how long are you going to stay here?" an elf asked.

"Wait until my master wants to leave." Pearl answered with a smile.

"Then come and play with me, I like playing with you." The Elves were that straightforward.

"Alright," on the very first day she woke up, Zhu'er had a good relationship with the elves and became the favorite of the elves in the village.

After walking around, Pearl got to know Nina, as well as some of Loke's friends. Seeing Loke generously giving them the snacks, she unconsciously felt sorry for him. How much perseverance did it take to give away the first delicacy they had eaten?

But Pearl had a good harvest of her own, and all sorts of berries filled her.

"Is this considered a bountiful harvest?" Pearl laughed out loud, and swept away the pain and suffering of the past few days.

"Big Sister Zhu Er, why are you so happy?" Although Loke was small, he could still distinguish the difference between Ye Ling and Zhu'er. The elder sister Zhu'er in front of him didn't seem to have any worries as she was always smiling happily.
