Gu Jingtian glanced at Zhu Yanyi. "Since you know saying such things is wrong, why did you still say it? You are knowingly walking into the tiger's den." She laughed. "But hearing it makes me feel quite good."
"Can't help it," Zhu Yanyi said, looking like she didn't want to be this way either. "I really want to reason calmly with people. But when I see Japanese people, I get so angry. My words come out without thinking. Anyway, I said it. I will take responsibility." She tilted her head and giggled. "Actually, let the senior brothers take the responsibility. I am still small. I cannot bear it."
"Rest assured. Your few words have no impact. There is no responsibility for you to bear," Gu Jingtian laughed loudly. "Besides, you were not wrong. Those Japanese people are actually the most impolite. If they were polite, they would not be the template for thieves and prostitutes today. So do not worry about it. But we must call Master when we return." Gu Jingtian felt her master would not be angry upon hearing this. Instead, she would praise Zhu Yanyi for doing well.
Zhu Yanyi shrugged slightly. As long as there was no impact, it was fine. Even if there were consequences, she did not plan to take back her words. Her angry youth mindset could not be changed.
"By the way, Little Junior Sister, what is this dead wood you bought in the first shop?" Yu Qingyun asked after they finished the topic.
"I will tell you back at the hotel. It is a good thing," Zhu Yanyi said with a mysterious smile. She had not expected that just wandering around this Heavenly Market herb market would lead her to find two precious herbs: Fengchun and Tianzhi. However, this was a matter of making a fortune in silence. She could not shout about it outside.
Back at the hotel, Gu Jingtian and the others followed Zhu Yanyi to her room. She told them to sit anywhere. Zhang Yan went outside to keep watch. Only the six siblings remained in the room.
Zhu Yanyi took two jade boxes from her luggage. She slowly opened the dead wood, carefully placed it into one jade box, and handed it to Yu Qingyun beside her. "Third Senior Brother, look. Can you recognize this thing?"
Yu Qingyun looked carefully. After a while, he shook his head slightly and passed the box to Gu Jingtian beside him. Gu Jingtian sat close to Qu Zhong, so they looked together.
Gu Jingtian said slowly, "This thing feels strange. Especially this new sprout. Look, not only is its color red like jade, but its shape is quite like Lingzhi."
"Shaped like Lingzhi grass, colored like jade, growing on dead wood, carrying vitality. This is the characteristic of Fengchun," Qu Zhong suddenly spoke. She looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Could this be the rare herb Fengchun?"
Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile and gave a thumbs up. "Second Senior Brother is amazing. This is indeed Fengchun. Fengchun is born from dead wood. But not all dead wood can become Fengchun. The dead wood must have lived for a thousand years and suffered more than three lightning tribulations. This piece of dead wood fell after being struck by lightning. The place it fell happened to have a mature Lingzhi grass. The spores of the Lingzhi grass fell exactly on this dead wood. Over time, with sun and rain, the two slowly merged. The tender sprout that grew out is Fengchun. This piece of Fengchun has experienced time that is not enough for a normal person's whole life. Without five or six thousand years, such an effect would not appear."
