After Zheng-Fu finished speaking, he immediately soared back out of the Sweltering Volcano area. It took him more than two hours to get out of this zone and return to the main route, and nearly four hours to get to the safety zone in front of the secret land entrance.

Whoosh!!!

As for Hu-Tai-Min, he returned to his village. He stopped by to see Zhang-Liang first to ask his close comrade to collect Abyssal Flake Ore from the villagers. And Zhang-Liang cooperated very well.

It did not take long for them to announce this to everyone in the village, and they received more than ten thousand lumps of Abyssal Flake Ore that the villagers brought to exchange. Furthermore, they would continue to receive exchanges until the Purple Heaven crystals that Zheng-Fu had given them ran out. This caused the villagers to go to the Sweltering Volcano to find more Abyssal Flake Ore, causing slight chaos.

In the courtyard in front of Zhang-Liang's house...

"Hu-Tai-Min, Zhang-Liang, what happened? Why did you announce the purchase of Abyssal Flake Ore? Where did you get so many medium-level Purple Heaven crystals from?" An elder suddenly asked as he walked into Zhang-Liang's courtyard with another middle-aged man. Meanwhile, Hu-Tai-Min and Zhang-Liang were sitting and counting Abyssal Flake Ore.

"Elder!!!"

"Chieftain!!!"

Those two were the grand elder of the village and the race's chieftain.

"We need to use a large amount of Abyssal Flake Ore, so we announced to buy it from everyone in the village, sir!" replied Hu-Tai-Min. He was the one who knew what he should say.

"Need? What necessity would you have to use Abyssal Flake Ore that much?" The Grand Elder asked again because Hu-Tai-Min was very ambiguous.

"I can't talk about that. I apologize to Elder and Chieftain. In addition to Abyssal Flake Oh, I also need lots of Rainbow Mushrooms. I have this in exchange for the Rainbow Mushrooms that everyone has. And I'll give more if someone has a good-condition mushroom that can be continued to plant."

"Is that...!?"

"High-level Purple Heaven crystal!!?"

When Hu-Tai-Min finished speaking, he took out a high-grade Purple Heavenly Crystal and stated that he would use it to exchange for all the Rainbow Mushrooms everyone had. Naturally, everyone was well aware of the exchange rate.

"Where did you get so many Purple Heaven crystals from? Or have you found a treasure and thought to keep it for yourself?" At that moment, a malevolent voice sounded from a middle-aged man. He was one of the village seniors and also someone who did not like Hu-Tai-Min very much.

"Whatever I can find, it's my business. You have no right to ask. Besides, the village rules make no stipulation that any treasure found must be given to the village. Because if there is such a rule, then you should give the treasure you found to the village!" Hu-Tai-Min also disliked this middle-aged man. Although the other party was a senior, he was not afraid at all.

"You!"

"All right, that's enough! Hu-Tai-Min, this matter is very big. How would you explain this kind of chaos in the village?" Usually, the Grand Elder was the most neutral, but all this happened truly caused everyone in the village to be in chaos.

"I have nothing to say except that everything I did was for our village. And I've done this all the time; Elder and Chieftain should know well. So, I don't want to explain anything about this matter!" Hu-Tai-Min thought that he had done nothing wrong. And even if he said something just now, it would not change what happened anyway.

Umm!

"Everyone, don't say anything anymore. Everything Hu-Tai-Min did did not violate any of the rules of our village. So, he has the right to do it. But about the Rainbow Mushroom, it's... is it true? How much will you pay me if I have a perfect mushroom that can grow again?" The Chieftain interjected before turning to ask Hu-Tai-Min about the Rainbow Mushroom.

"That's right, Chieftain. For a perfectly intact mushroom, I'll give you three hundred high-level Purple Heaven crystals. As for the common mushrooms, it depends on their quality!" Hu-Tai-Min replied.

"Three hundred high-level Purple Heaven crystals!? Are you sure you didn't say it wrong?" The Chieftain asked again to make sure he had not misunderstood because the high-level Purple Heaven crystal was not that easy to find.

"You didn't hear wrong. Three hundred high-level Purple Heaven crystals for the Rainbow Mushroom in perfect condition and can be planted!" Hu-Tai-Min repeated.

"Then you can wait here for me. I have one of them. I'll quickly bring it to exchange with you!" The Chieftain hurriedly excused himself back to his house to bring his perfect Rainbow Mushroom to exchange for three hundred high-level Purple Heaven crystals.

Hah!

"So, what about mushrooms in common conditions? At what price will you set them?" The Grand Elder could not help asking.

"If it's in good condition but cannot be planted, I'll give you one hundred each. Other than that, the price comes down to its quality!"

"One hundred high-level Purple Heaven crystals!"

Oh!

"Then I'll have to hurry back and bring some!" Knowing the exact price, the Grand Elder immediately went back to his house to bring the Rainbow Mushroom to Hu-Tai-Min.

Furthermore, the villagers who heard about this hurriedly went looking for Rainbow Mushrooms. Those who already had it did not hesitate to exchange it for a high-level Purple Heaven crystal immediately.

"Zhang-Liang, I'll bring the Abyssal Flake Ore we have now to him first. As for you, please take charge of negotiating with Grand Elder and Chieftain for me. Tell them I need to get the high-level Purple Heaven crystals. Make them wait three more days for me. Then I'll come back and trade with them," Hu-Tai-Min told his comrade. Now he had only a single high-level Purple Heaven crystal with him. Therefore, he had to go to Zheng-Fu to get more high-level Purple Heaven crystals to trade with Rainbow Mushrooms.

"One more thing, you've to contact me when someone wants to exchange more," Hu-Tai-Min told Zhang-Liang before leaving.

"All right, leave this matter to me. You hurry up to go. Have a safe trip!" Zhang-Liang immediately accepted Hu-Tai-Min's request. No matter what favor Hu-Tai-Min wanted him to do, he would do it to the best of his ability and would not complain.

Back to Zheng-Fu...

After leaving the Sweltering Volcano, Zheng-Fu immediately headed back to the safety zone without going to any other routes. Because the original route was full of many medicinal herbs and there were many kinds that he had not seen last time, going back the same route was the most correct thing for him.

"If I hadn't come back alone, I wouldn't have had time to gather these herbs. Entering this secret land really has many benefits for me. Sigh! If a Heavenly Command Sect's disciple could enter here, the sect wouldn't have to suffer such a decline. At least every year, there will be several disciples who can advance quickly because of these large amounts of resources!

"Also, there are many spirit monsters that can be brought to fuse with weapons or armor to give them more energy and durability. Or they can also be fused with humans to extract their energy. But what a pity that no one can enter here again!"

Zheng-Fu already knew why the Heavenly Command Sect was depressed. It was because previously, the sect had many high-level talents, and those people could enter to cultivate in this place. And they obtained resources and items that were hidden here to bring them back to the outside world, which made them stronger. Unlike today where the sect had very few disciples with high talent.

"But never mind! When I become a sectmaster, I'll change the rules for entering the secret land. So that more disciples within the sect could enter. Only the main disciples and the elite disciples of the outer disciples and inner disciples could enter. But for now, I should collect these herbs first. Because leaving them like this would be a pity!"

Seeing the things in the secret land, Zheng-Fu had the intention of changing the rules of entry here to allow disciples with talents to have a chance to make more use of this place. That would be very beneficial for the sect.

One day passed...

Whoosh!!!

Woosh!!!

Thud!!!

"Finally, I caught up with you! You just arrived here!!?" After a day, Hu-Tai-Min finally caught up to Zheng-Fu, which Hu-Tai-Min thought he should have taken longer.

"I'm not in a hurry! Besides, I'm still on my route. By the way, you're following me like this, so you've gathered all the items I need, right?" Zheng-Fu replied and hurriedly changed the matter.

"I got some parts. Right now, I've only gathered ten thousand lumps of Abyssal Flake Ore. As for the Rainbow Mushrooms, I still can't bring them to you because I don't have the high-level Purple Heaven crystals to trade!" Hu-Tai-Min said as he handed out a dimensional bag containing ten thousand lumps of Abyssal Flake Ore to Zheng-Fu.

Oh!

Blop!!!

"Then how many high-level Purple Heaven crystals do you need?" Zheng-Fu took the dimensional bag without checking because what he cared more about were Rainbow Mushrooms.

"Based on my estimation, they would cost more than a thousand lumps of high-level Purple Heaven crystal. Since several villagers have Rainbow Mushrooms. It's just that their quality might not be as good as mine. And I also got a Rainbow Mushroom in a ready-to-plant state!" Hu-Tai-Min roughly calculated the number of high-level Purple Heaven crystals he would need. And he gave Zheng-Fu the details of the mushrooms he had gathered.

"Excellent! Then, I'll give you two thousand high-level Purple Heaven crystals. In case someone can find more to exchange. And I hope you won't cheat me!" Zheng-Fu smiled, delighted to know the number and quality of the mushrooms. However, he could not help but be paranoid and worried that Hu-Tai-Min might cheat him.

"If I thought of cheating, I would have done it long ago!"
