A Bountiful Harvest

Before they knew it, evening was approaching once again.

Gu Zhi and Liu Erlong spent another full day terrorizing the soul beasts in the middle region. Although they gained little in the morning due to the awkward atmosphere, with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion joining them, they obtained fifteen chests that afternoon.

"The historian reported! Today's chests obtained: seventeen Blue Chests and three Purple Chests. Gu Zhi's total rewards: Attack +32, Speed +32, Endurance +32, Mental Power +32, Stamina +32, Physical Constitution +32, Skill Proficiency +32, Soul Ring Duration +15, Soul Skill Damage +15, Spirit Bone Duration +15, Disposable Talismans +12, Disposable Formations +3, Basic Pills +12, Rare Materials +12, Basic Cultivation Methods +3, Basic Movement Techniques +3, Basic Immortal Arts +3, Basic Dharma Artifacts +6, All Attributes +3%. In addition, he obtained fifteen spirit herbs (usable in medicine), ten spirit plants (transplantable), six medicinal herbs of each attribute (usable in medicine), and several other treasures..."

"Liu Erlong's rewards today: Attack +20, Speed +20, Endurance +20, Mental Power +20, Stamina +20, Physical Constitution +20, Skill Proficiency +20, Soul Ring Duration +20, Soul Skill Damage +20, Spirit Bone Duration +20, Fire-Attribute Damage +20, Fire-Attribute Cultivation Method Proficiency +20, Skill Power +20, Basic Pills +3, Rare Materials +3, Fire-Attribute Cultivation Methods +3, Fire-Attribute Treasures +3, Overall Fire-Attribute Enhancement +3%..."

"Wang Qiu'er's rewards today: Attack +20, Speed +20, Endurance +20, Mental Power +20, Stamina +20, Physical Constitution +20, Skill Proficiency +20, Bloodline Power +20, Skill Power +20, Fortune Power +20, Soul Beast Cultivation Duration +30, Basic Pills +3, Rare Materials +3, Soul Beast-Compatible Treasures +3, All Attributes +3%..."

"This was even faster than riding a rocket! If they explored the entire Star Dou Great Forest and opened every chest, Gu Zhi's physical body alone could rival a Soul Emperor, or even a Soul Sage!"

"Just look at Liu Erlong! It had only been two days, and she could already rival a Soul Douluo! She should be able to break through before she turned thirty, right?"

"Why did my baby Qiu'er only get such tiny stat increases? When would she finally encounter a Gold Chest?"

"Purple Chests didn't even feel exciting anymore! I just wondered what Gold Chests could contain!"

"They had to be ridiculously powerful! Could they contain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring or Spirit Bone? Otherwise, they might contain a high-grade Soul Tool, Dharma artifact, or high-grade pill!"

"Wasn't that leap a little too big? Purple Chests could only produce basic stuff at best! Could Gold Chests really be that amazing?"

"Brothers above, look at the number of chests! There probably weren't many in the entire Star Dou Great Forest! If they didn't give out good stuff, wouldn't that be insulting?"

"Agreed! I also think Gold Chests definitely contained the real good stuff!"

The barrage viewers were gradually becoming dissatisfied with the stingy rewards from Purple Chests. After all, Gu Zhi possessed the Strongest Deity System. What was the point if it kept giving him such junk?

In truth, Gu Zhi, Liu Erlong, and Wang Qiu'er were all quite satisfied with the rewards. The numbers from each chest might have seemed low, but there were simply too many chests.

Moreover, Purple Chests contained many rare rewards, such as basic pills that increased cultivation, decent-quality Soul Tools and Dharma artifacts, talismans and formations, as well as cultivation methods and techniques that could be regarded as powerful soul skills.

Any one of those things would have been enough to make others fight like rabid dogs for it. Yet they obtained them just by taking a stroll. What was there to be dissatisfied about?

"Let's set up camp here for the day?"

After receiving so many rewards, Gu Zhi was already eager to take them out and inspect them carefully.

Liu Erlong immediately agreed. Together with Gu Zhi, she quickly pitched the tent and began preparing dinner.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained quietly where she was. While Gu Zhi and Liu Erlong were not paying attention, she secretly took out a pill and swallowed it.

The surging medicinal power began to take effect. It not only enhanced her bloodline power and Soul Power cultivation, but also helped expand her Sea of Spirit.

"They were giving Wang Qiu'er the good stuff too! One pill alone would increase her Soul Power cultivation by at least a hundred years!"

"It wasn't over yet! She carried the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline! This pill could also enhance her Golden Dragon King bloodline power! That was far more important than increasing her Soul Power cultivation!"

"Baby Qiu'er, don't just take pills! Use those treasures suited to soul beast physiques too! That way, you could grow stronger faster!"

"I forgot about that if the person above hadn't mentioned it! Those treasures could stimulate bloodline power, strengthen the body, and make Soul Power purer! Were they really only basic treasures?"

"Weren't the treasures Gu Zhi and Liu Erlong received powerful too? Some enhanced attack, some defense, some speed, some resistance, some effect damage, some increased total Soul Power, some raised Soul Power Level, some provided mechanics, some provided stats... Good lord, it would take me half a minute just to list them all!"

"Compared to Gu Zhi's treasures, Tang San's hidden weapons were nothing but roadside trash! The key was that Gu Zhi had also obtained plenty of rare materials and the Artifact Refining Technique. Once he got the Soul Tool Compendium, he could show everyone what it meant for the times to change!"

The barrage viewers were having a grand time taking stock, but the other beautiful women of the Douluo world felt miserable after watching. As the barrage said, every treasure Gu Zhi's group obtained made them drool with envy. They wished they could replace Liu Erlong and Wang Qiu'er on the spot and shamelessly reap a share of the system rewards!

"Damn it! Why didn't we insist a little longer back then? Should we run away like Tang San too?"

The Shrek group had just stopped to catch their breath after desperately following Tang San's trail when Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing received the update from the barrage. They felt utterly miserable.

"Forget it. What is meant to be will be..."

Zhu Zhuqing had become much more calm, but if she got another chance later, she would definitely go with Gu Zhi.

"Everyone, work a little harder. We should catch up to Tang San soon."

Reality did not allow them to dwell on it for long. Grandmaster began urging the Shrek group to continue tracking Tang San.

"What a precious disciple! Why didn't you seem this anxious when it came to Xiao Wu?"

The others did not dare say anything openly, but Ning Rongrong was already rolling her eyes so hard they nearly reached the sky. She whispered furiously into Zhu Zhuqing's ear.

As the Shrek group set off again, Gu Zhi's side was just beginning to enjoy a relaxing dinner. Because Wang Qiu'er had joined them, Gu Zhi had specially made stewed meat for dinner.

While feeding delicious food to the little hand warmer, the usually quiet Liu Erlong suddenly asked, "Ahem... um... do you want to have some wine?"

Not only was Gu Zhi stunned, but the barrage was filled with question marks as well...
