Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 125: Demon Plants Forest 4

"This way, we won’t waste time looking for my opportunity. We can focus on you."

"When you put it like that..." Shen Xu smiled.

Fourteen days after entering the demon plants forest, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu encountered a grove of red maple trees.

Seeing the trees, Shen Xu couldn’t help but be excited.

"Brother Yuan..." He called and Zhen Yuan nodded.

Golden dew flowers preferred humid areas.

Most importantly, they were one of few spirit grasses that could invade a grove.

Since they found a grove, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan naturally hoped they would also find a golden dew flower.

At a glance, the grove stretched as far as the eye could see.

However, after using their spiritual sense, it was only one hundred acres. It had close to one thousand trees and each tree was at least thirty metres tall.

"Let’s go." Zhen Yuan said.

"Did you find it?" Shen Xu asked but Zhen Yuan smiled without answering.

Half an hour later, they stopped before an ancient red maple tree.

"Three golden dew flowers." Shen Xu happily exclaimed.

"One of them is quite extraordinary." Zhen Yuan reminded and Shen Xu took a closer look.

A moment later, he grabbed Zhen Yuan’s arm and laughed.

"One is six hundred and forty-two years old, the second is eight hundred and seventy-four years old, and the last is nine hundred and ninety-nine years old. It’s about to become a one thousand years old herb." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"It will become a thousand years old herb in five weeks. Do you want to wait?" Zhen Yuan asked but he already knew the answer.

"Wait. Of course I am going to wait." Shen Xu said.

Although the one thousand years old herb would still be a level three spirit grass, its effect would be at least three times better than a nine hundred and ninety-nine-years old spirit grass.

Most importantly, it would give Shen Xu a better chance of condensing a higher-grade golden core.

"Brother Yuan, should we transplant them into the chaos flame space?"

"It’s a sensitive time and any changes could affect the herb. Let’s wait until it becomes a one thousand years spirit grass before we move the three herbs."

"Okay." Shen Xu nodded.

"In the book, what grade of golden core did Xiao Weimin and his harem condense?" Zhen Yuan suddenly asked.

"If I remember correctly..." Shen Xu started, squinting his eyes to arrange his thoughts.

"Xiao Weimin found a seven hundred years old golden dew flower. Using the spirit grass, Shen Xu refined one peak-grade golden dew pill, three high-grade and four mid-grade. The main protagonist took a peak grade while Shen Xu and Lin Mengmeng each had a high-grade."

"Lin Mengmeng condensed a seven-colour golden core, Shen Xu condensed an eight-colour while Xiao Weimin condensed a nine-colour." Shen Xu said but soon frowned.

"Of Xiao Weimin’s wives and concubines, the book Shen Xu was the most talented. It was because of this that the others couldn’t tolerate him."

"Your talent is not inferior to Xiao Weimin. Your golden core will never be worse." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded before continued.

"Shen Xu found a drop of chaos water in the Tianqi continent and gave it to Xiao Weimin. After Xiao Weimin refined the chaos water, his nine-colour golden core evolved into the legendary ten-colour golden core." The double said and couldn’t help but pity the book Shen Xu.

"Xiao Weimin didn’t love the original owner but the book Shen Xu always sacrificed for the main protagonist. He lived a truly pitiful life. Fortunately...."

"You will live a brilliant life." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu smiled.

"I know." The double said.

From his perspective, he was already living a brilliant life.

After all, he met Zhen Yuan.

As long as he was with Zhen Yuan, even an ordinary day was happier than the happiest day of his previous life or any day experienced by the book Shen Xu.

After that, Zhen Yuan arranged an isolation formation around the ancient red maple tree.

Although it was unlikely that others would find their location so soon after the secret realm opened, the two didn’t want to take any chances.

After activating the formation, the two didn’t sit around.

Instead, they explored the areas around the grove.

They killed demon plants, collected spirit grasses, and generally lived a leisurely time.

Four weeks later, they returned to the ancient tree and setup camp.

However, their worries were unnecessary.

Although the spirit grass caused a huge qi movement when it became a one thousand years old herb, it didn’t attract other cultivators.

Seeing this, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan were relieved but they didn’t truly relax until after they transplanted the three herbs and some ancient red maple trees into the chaos flame space.

"Finally." Shen Xu said, his lips curled in a smile.

"You can retreat to advance to the golden core realm when you are ready."

"Mmh." Shen Xu nodded.

In the original book, Shen Xu, Lin Mengmeng and most others didn’t advance to the golden core realm in the Demon Plants Forest.

This was because the demon plants forest was only open for one year.

Unless one was at the peak of the foundation establishment realm when they entered the secret realm, one year was not enough to advance to the golden core realm.

Even then, a peak stage foundation establishment realm cultivator had to meet several conditions before they could break through.

First, they had to find a golden dew flower soon after entering the secret realm.

Second, they had to find a good alchemist in the first in the first three months.

Without these conditions, even a peak stage foundation establishment realm wouldn’t dare to recklessly retreat.

After all, their retreat would be rudely and maybe fatally interrupted when the secret realm closed.

Fortunately, Shen Xu had the chaos flame space and didn’t need to worry about these things.

"I still want to head south." He said.
