"In other words, even if it's shattered to pieces, as long as there's still a breath of life, it can be saved!"
Zhou Qian's mouth dropped open in shock, "Ah? That's too amazing!"
"I've been running this herb shop for so long, and I've never heard of such a miraculous herb!"
She carefully examined the "stone" and then asked, "But how do we eat this? We can't just eat it like this, can we?"
Wu Tian said, "Of course, you can't eat it like this. What you see is just the outer layer, its protection. The real herb is hidden inside!"
Zhou Qian asked, "If that's the case, how do we get it out? Do we just smash its shell?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Absolutely not. I told you it's a protective shell. If you break it with brute force, the herb will sense danger and wither directly."
Zhou Qian asked, "Then what should we do? Shall we dig it out first and then figure it out?"
Wu Tian shook his head again, "That won't work either. The shell of the Bone-Mending and Meridian-Gathering Grass must remain in the soil. As soon as it leaves the soil, the herb itself will immediately wither."
Zhou Qian was at a loss, saying, "This won't work, and that won't work either. This thing is too difficult to handle!"
"Besides these, what other options do we have? Are we just going to give up?"
Wu Tian thought for a moment and said, "There is a way, and it's the only way. It depends on whether you're willing to cooperate with me."
"I need to cooperate?" Zhou Qian asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Wu Tian hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Bone-Mending and Meridian-Gathering Grass is a creature with strong sexual energy. To get it out of its protective shell, it must sense Yin and Yang energy."
Zhou Qian asked, "Yin and Yang energy? What is that? I don't understand."
Wu Tian suddenly became a little awkward. He looked at Zhou Qian, scratched his cheek, and forced a smile, "The so-called Yin and Yang energy, to put it simply, is the aura produced when men and women are intimate."
"So, we just need to do that in front of it..."
As Wu Tian spoke, Zhou Qian was first slightly stunned, and then her pretty face immediately turned red.
She felt her tongue start to tie itself in knots, and she stammered, "You, you, what do you mean? You don't mean to..."
She originally wanted to say the word "fornication," but the word was too shameful, so she swallowed it back.
Wu Tian also felt a bit embarrassed. He thought for a moment and said, "If you're unwilling, then forget it. I won't force you."
Zhou Qian looked at Wu Tian, seeming to be in deep thought.
After a while, as if she had made a decision, she suddenly said, "Actually... if you really want to, I don't have a problem with it."
"After all... I also want to try what it feels like in the wild..."
Wu Tian was slightly stunned, then clicked his tongue.
He had already prepared to give up, but he didn't expect Zhou Qian to actually agree.
Looking at Zhou Qian's peerless beauty, Wu Tian realized that Zhou Qian was genuinely seeking it.
This woman was truly insatiable for such things.
Since Zhou Qian said it was fine, Wu Tian certainly had no problem with it.
He nodded and said, "Alright then. Don't worry, I'll block off the surroundings somehow later."
"Even if someone wants to come in, they absolutely won't be able to."
Zhou Qian's heart was filled with both nervousness and anticipation. She nodded and said, "Okay, hurry up then..."
Wu Tian's eyes twitched slightly. No, aren't you too eager...
However, he didn't waste any more words. Doing this kind of thing was always physical work, so why talk so much.
He used his spiritual energy to form an invisible barrier around them, and then pulled Zhou Qian into his arms.
As their clothes fell to the ground one by one, hurried breaths filled the open space.
Wu Tian originally thought that because they were in the wild, Zhou Qian, no matter how addicted she was, would at least have some shame.
But he didn't expect that Zhou Qian would become more and more capable as they went on, lasting for two to three hours without stopping.
Wu Tian was even a little scared by this.
After they finished, he quickly put on his pants and said, "Alright, alright, that's enough."
Zhou Qian said娇滴滴ly, "You can't do it anymore? Weren't you quite capable before?"
Wu Tian said somewhat awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. My body is in great shape, how could I not be able to? But you have to remember, our purpose this time isn't for this. We can continue when we get back."
Hearing Wu Tian say this, although Zhou Qian was still unsatisfied, she pouted and said, "Alright then, but you can't sleep tonight. Even if you sleep, I'll wake you up."
Wu Tian chuckled awkwardly, and his gaze shifted. He then said with surprise, "Hey, look, I was right, it really came out!"
Zhou Qian looked at the "stone" and was immediately amazed, "Wow, it's so magical! This kind of thing is incredible!"
At this moment, the Bone-Mending and Meridian-Gathering Grass had completely broken out of its shell.
It was so beautiful, it didn't look like something from this world.
Wu Tian quickly walked over, carefully plucked the Bone-Mending and Meridian-Gathering Grass, and said, "This is truly a treasure! It seems this trip was worth it!"
Zhou Qian looked at the Bone-Mending and Meridian-Gathering Grass in amazement and asked, "What are you going to do with it? Sell it?"
Wu Tian shook his head, "I don't know. I'll put it away for now and see later."
With that, he flipped his hand, and the Bone-Mending and Meridian-Gathering Grass was immediately stored in his ring.
Zhou Qian looked at him in surprise, "Wu Tian, what did you do? Why did it disappear?"
Wu Tian then realized that he had never mentioned the spatial ring before. However, he didn't explain much, just smiled and said, "Impressive, right? I'm actually a magician. I hid it."
Zhou Qian, of course, didn't believe this clumsy explanation.
But she was a smart woman. She knew that Wu Tian must have many secrets, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Since they had obtained the Bone-Mending and Meridian-Gathering Grass, the two of them headed down the mountain.
Wu Tian was quite pleased to have obtained the Bone-Mending and Meridian-Gathering Grass. Even if it wasn't useful, it would be a great financial product to sell later.
The two of them returned the way they came, passed through the forest, and returned to the mountain path.
But at this moment, a subtle sound, like a mosquito's whine, entered Wu Tian's ears.
