After the Golden Toad Nourishing Qi Method was upgraded to the maximum level, Zhou Yuan's basic attributes also changed.
Originally, his basic attributes were: Essence: 4, Qi: 2, Spirit: 2
Now after increasing the Qi attribute by 2 points and the Spirit attribute by 1 point, it becomes: Essence: 4, Qi: 4, Spirit: 3
"Very good. The three attributes of spirit, energy and mind have become more harmonious. With the increase of one point of spirit attribute, my mind-control technique should be more useful."
The 【Level 15 Golden Toad for Treasures】 contributed powerful skills, and the two 【Level 10 Golden Toads for Fortune】 were not bad either, each of them exploded a green ball of light.
After Zhou Yuan picked them up, he discovered that the objects in the two green light balls were the same, both of which were pills.
【Medicine: Lingchan Pill】
【Introduction: The Moon Rabbit pounded the elixir, the Golden Toad contained the spirit pill, absorbed the Moon Cave to replenish the True Yin, and collected the Moon Essence to balance the Yin and Yang.】
【Effect: After taking it, it will activate the "Qi Shield" state, increase defense, and alleviate the negative state of "Chaos Qi".】
'Lingchan Pills' is a special medicine that enhances defense. Although it is not as good as the Golden Toad Qi-nourishing Method, it is also very practical.
The output of the three golden toads was too rich, and the huge profits stimulated Zhou Yuan to continue exploring.
He walked quickly down the hill and saw two different directions to explore.
One is to move horizontally to the left and right, and the other is to simply climb forward.
He walked forward for a distance and found that the monsters on the new hills were not only more densely populated, but also much higher in level.
【Level 10 Moon White Medicine Rabbit】, 【Level 15 Medicine Pounding Jade Rabbit】, 【Level 20 Golden Moon Rabbit】
Looking at the 【Level 20 Golden Moon Rabbit】 wearing golden armor, carrying a silk banner, holding a jade hammer, and riding a nimble white deer.
Zhou Yuan did not dare to go forward and test its attack range.
That guy was obviously an elite monster, a cavalry-type, highly mobile elite monster. It was too deadly for a shooter without a front-line tank.
So he turned around and left, heading for the hills on the right.
This time it was much more normal. On the hills covered with lush flowers and grass, there were only cute 【Level 5 Moon White Medicine Rabbit】 and 【Level 10 Medicine Pounding Jade Rabbit】
This made him realize that the Moon Palace Secret Realm was likely to have a structure similar to a full moon, with the monsters' levels being lower the closer to the outer circle and higher the closer to the inner circle.
"The recommended level for the Moon Palace dungeon is 5-99, and there won't be a level 100 boss in the middle.
It's too brutal. Fortunately, there are restrictions on the time and number of people entering this place.
Otherwise, if the rabbits here have the opportunity to gain intelligence, I'm afraid we'll end up with something like the last Moon Rabbit Rising."
After Zhou Yuan shot and killed several 【Level 5 Moon White Medicine Rabbits】 with his bow, he gradually approached the 【Level 10 Medicine Pounding Jade Rabbit】, intending to extract some more Jade Rabbit medicine liquid.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered a conspicuous depression in the dense grass in front of him that was higher than his knees.
He cautiously shot an arrow in that direction to avoid any monsters hiding there.
After making sure there was no response from that direction, he slowly approached and investigated the situation.
When he approached the sunken area, he found a person lying there, with bright red blood constantly flowing from his head, dyeing the green grass stems red.
Judging from the shape of the wound, it was most likely caused by the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine.
"He wears brocade clothes and leather boots, and has fair skin. He must be the son of a wealthy family who doesn't work."
Zhou Yuan took out a single-edged sword from the inventory, and with a flip of his wrist, he picked up the deceased's waist badge.
The waist badge was inscribed with the words "Deng Yu of the Imperial Academy", and on the back was a relief inscription: Zhong Su of the Great Chu, who inherited virtue through literature.
Apart from a waist badge, the deceased had no other valuable items on his body.
After some consideration, Zhou Yuan decided to throw the badge back to the deceased to avoid taking it out rashly and causing diplomatic conflicts between Wei and Chu.
Later, when he was clearing several nearby hills, he found different dead bodies.
Some of them looked like farmers, some were dressed like fishermen, and there was also a woman whose identity was unknown.
In addition, Zhou Yuan also saw a living person.
The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Jade Rabbit and the Golden Toad. Although he did not gain any benefits, he saved his life.
When Zhou Yuan was about to say hello to him, he suddenly discovered that the stars in the sky, as fine as dust, were disappearing rapidly.
He guessed that the activity time was about to come, so he quickly returned to the hilly area that had been cleared before.
First, he used two pestles to pierce more than a dozen square-holed coins as big as washbasins and carried them on his shoulders.
Then he found a medicine mortar, poured three portions of Moon Rabbit medicine into it, and held it between his elbows.
After he finished his preparations, he waited for a while. The sky gradually darkened and ripples appeared like the surface of a lake.
The next moment, the world shattered like a mirage, and he was back in the training grounds where the bonfires were shining.
"He's back, Zhou Yuan is back, and he brought a lot of things with him.
My goodness, those two jade balls are so huge! If they were carved into jade ornaments, they would definitely fetch a lot of money.”
"That's a jade ball produced in the Moon Palace. How can we disassemble it carelessly? Only the original flavor can bring happiness and joy."
"Come on, brothers, give me a hand and take the pestle off my shoulder. Don't damage the medicine jar. There are some really good things inside."
Captain Jing'an and warriors from the subordinate counties came forward to help. Even at this moment, they still couldn't believe that their comrades had really returned from the Moon Palace with a full load.
"Zhou Yuan, you said these are the pestle and jar. You wouldn't have looted the Good Medicine Jade Rabbit, would you?"
"No, we had a competition, and I won. Jade Rabbit didn't object to anything I took, so I brought back some specialties from the Moon Palace."
"Then what are these large copper coins? Could they be the source of wealth sent by the Golden Toad?"
“That’s true, but the way the golden toad sent the coins was a little special. It sprayed dozens of these coins towards the rock where I was hiding.
I wanted to bring them all back, but there were too many to carry, so I just picked out some that were in good condition and carried them back with me.
Although Zhou Yuan spoke lightly, the warriors could all sense the danger in his words.
If the Jade Rabbit and the Golden Toad were easy to get along with, Zhou Yuan wouldn't have to hide behind the rocks, let alone choose the quality of the coins.
"Uncle, is this really the pestle that Moon Rabbit uses to pound medicine?"
The little girl Que'er, who was held by Captain Jing'an, did not think too much about it. Instead, she stared at the jade pestle that was taller than her and her father.
"Yeah, what's wrong, you want it? Uncle will give it to you."
"No, no, I don't want it. Moon Rabbit is so cute, why would you use such a big pestle?"
The little girl's dream was shattered. She simply couldn't imagine the scene of a strong giant rabbit pounding medicine with a huge pestle.
"Haha..., it's a good thing you didn't bring the Moon Rabbit back, otherwise Que'er wouldn't dare to celebrate the Water Moon Festival anymore."
After Captain Jing'an handed his daughter over to his concubine, he asked Zhou Yuan if he could share the proceeds from the Moon Palace.
Zhou Yuan took these things in order to share, so he naturally said that they could be distributed generously.
This move caused a round of applause from the warriors, and they all promised to give Zhou Yuan gifts in return and would not let him down.
"Is this jade-like liquid the Jade Rabbit Elixir?"
"Yes, I've tried it. It can not only heal injuries, but also replenish energy. You can let each injured brother drink some to improve his health."
“I never thought that the Jade Rabbit, the Benevolent Medicine, and the Golden Toad, the Wealth-Governing Toad, would be so real. It’s a pity that we have no chance to see them.
I wonder if those who are destined to do so will all return with a full load."
