Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 182 Cannon Fodder Substitute (End)

There are only a few scattered trees around, not even a blade of grass. I don't know how high I have to go to reach the location of the spiritual plant.

Yuan Wei thought for a while and decided to try going down with a rope tied around her neck.

With her skills, she would be fine even if she jumped down directly, but what if the spiritual plant was halfway up the cliff, wouldn't she miss it if she jumped down?

Thinking of this, Yuan Wei took out a climbing rope from the space, tied one end to a nearby thick tree, and tied the other end around her waist.

After everything was ready, Yuan Wei slowly pulled the rope and began to climb down.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Yuan Wei suddenly felt refreshed.

She smelled a faint fragrance, which made her feel refreshed the moment it was inhaled into her nose, as if her whole body was full of energy.

This feeling is like drinking a sip of sweet spiritual spring water, which makes people intoxicated.

Yuan Wei knew that this must be the fragrance emitted by the spiritual plants.

She looked in the direction of the fragrance and found a small platform in the lower left with a strange plant growing on it.

The plant was crystal clear and as dazzling as a ruby. It was the spiritual plant she had been looking for.

[It’s actually a red fruit! ]

System accident.

Why would such a spiritual plant appear in such a remote place?

Could it be that someone planted it on purpose?

Yuan Wei stayed there for a long time, carefully observing the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, she slowly put down the rope in her hand and carefully approached the protruding stone.

When she finally stood steadily on the stone, a wonderful feeling came over her heart, as if all the cells in her body were activated, and even the internal skills began to operate on their own.

[There is a hidden formation here, but due to its age, it has lost some of its effectiveness, causing the spiritual energy of the Vermillion Fruit to leak out.]

The system suddenly made a sound.

It's just a soul-locking formation.

This place is located on a steep rock wall, and the surface is extremely smooth, making it difficult for other animals to approach easily.

As for the birds, they have not yet noticed the presence of this place. The area around is bare and no birds come to look for food.

Yuan Wei was lucky enough to be the first person to discover this secret. If it had been a few days later, these red fruits would probably have fallen into the mouths of those sharp birds.

[Why is there a formation here? ]

Yuan Wei was full of curiosity. She looked around, trying to find any traces of the formation, but found nothing.

It seems that she still has a lot to learn.

At this moment, the system sound sounded again.

[The red fruits are ripe and can be picked and stored in a jade box.]

Yuan Wei followed the system's instructions without hesitation, carefully picked the five ripe red fruits, and gently placed them in the jade box.

Then she picked up the shovel and carefully dug up the fruit tree full of red fruits.

Although her movements were gentle, she still tried to be cautious so as not to damage the precious red fruit.

Yuan Wei only discovered at the end of her digging that there were actually spiritual stones buried under the fruit tree.

[It seems that this was really planted here by someone else.]

It’s just that because the time is too long, the spirit stone below has almost no spiritual energy.

If this continues, this will most likely be the last time the Red Fruit bears fruit, after which it will gradually wither due to lack of spiritual power.

Yuan Wei was in a particularly happy mood because she accidentally obtained the red fruit.

She didn't know that not long after she left, a huge eagle was circling in the sky.

And below, there was a python trying hard to climb up, and it was about to reach the protruding rock.

Yuan Wei did not take the Zhu Fruit immediately after getting it. The effect of this Zhu Fruit is on the body.

She can't use it for the time being. After all, in this world, she has not met a warrior stronger than herself.

Since there was no crisis, Yuan Wei didn't want to waste these precious red fruits easily.

In other worlds, these vermilion fruits can come in handy at critical moments.

After a short rest, Yuan Wei set out again on her journey to find spiritual plants.

Unfortunately, she never encountered any spiritual plants again after that.

During this period, Yuan Wei returned to the capital once.

At that time, fifteen years had passed since she left the capital.

When she returned, she happened to catch Yuan Run getting married.

At this time, there were only two masters in the entire Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, one was Yuan Run, and the other was the daughter that Chu Wanyi had worked so hard to give birth to.

The old lady had passed away long ago, and the other girls in the mansion were all married.

The old lady was quite trustworthy, and all the girls in Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion married into good families.

These in-laws invisibly provided Yuanze and Yuanzhou with certain help in officialdom.

Of course, the two of them also became the support of many sisters, forming a complementary relationship.

Compared to the previous life where Yuan Lan only knew how to suck blood, this is much better.

Yuan Run's wife was chosen by the old lady and Huang together when she was still alive, and Chu Wanyi had not yet passed away.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wanyi passed away after lying in bed for a full ten years.

Live longer than Yuan Guangheng.

I don’t know if lying awake like this is what she wants.

Yuan Guangheng's health deteriorated within a few years due to his alcoholism and he passed away early.

Yuan Wei did not show up when Yuan Run got married.

He just went to see Yuan Guangyi later and did not appear in front of him.

Since we haven't been in touch for many years, there's no need to meet again, which will only add to the sadness.

"Grandfather, what are you looking at?"

A little boy, holding a candied haws, looked up at Yuan Guangyi in confusion.

Yuan Guangyi stared blankly at the end of the road and did not answer him.

Was that Yuan Wei just now?

Or are you dazzled?

Since ten years ago, Yuan Wei has been sending fewer and fewer letters back.

Until later on, there was no more contact and we simply lost contact.

Yuan Guangyi was always worried about Yuan Wei and even sent people to look for her everywhere.

It was not until Yuan Ze met her by chance during his assignment abroad that her family learned of her current situation.

At that time, Yuan Wei asked Yuan Ze to bring back a letter, saying that she was fine and that her family did not need to worry or send anyone to look for her.

But even so, Yuan Guangyi still couldn't completely let go of his worries.

Now, he is the only one in the family who knows that Yuan Wei is actually a girl, which makes him even more worried.

Thinking of this, Yuan Guangyi pushed his grandson to Yuan Ze and instructed: "Take good care of him."

After saying that, he hurriedly chased into the distance.

"Father?!" Yuan Ze was shocked. He held his son in his arms and was a little at a loss for a moment.

"Master!" The people beside him followed and chased after him.

Yuan Ze woke up as if from a dream, looked at his father who had already run away, and hurriedly hugged his son to catch up with him.

"Dad?" Young Yuan Mingbin looked at Yuan Ze blankly, not knowing what had happened.

"Be good, it's okay." Yuan Ze comforted his son gently.

Yuan Ze himself didn't know what had happened, he just felt that his father must have seen someone and wanted to chase after him.

Yuan Ze was stunned. Chasing someone?

Who did my father see that made him chase after her so anxiously?

Did you see Big Brother?

Just like that year when he accidentally saw his elder brother in office, his reaction was the same as his father's just now.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ze quickened his pace while holding his son.

When he reached the dock, he saw Yuan Guangyi standing there looking sadly at the ships in the distance.

Yuan Ze took a look and saw a man in white with picturesque features and an extraordinary temperament standing at the stern of the boat.

Isn’t it his elder brother Yuan Wei!

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Guangyi at the dock with some helplessness. She didn't expect to be discovered by Yuan Guangyi.

But now that the ship had already set sail, Yuan Wei could only salute Yuan Guangyi at the stern.

"Grandfather, who is that?"

Yuan Mingbin looked at the good-looking man in the distance and asked doubtfully.

How does he salute his grandfather?

"That's your uncle."

Yuan Guangyi's voice was a little hoarse.

He felt empty inside. He knew Yuan Wei had always been a person with strong opinions. Perhaps this was the lifestyle she chose.

Although he felt some regrets, he also understood that everyone has his or her own life trajectory and choices.

"Uncle?" Yuan Mingbin seemed to understand but not quite. When did he have an uncle? Why had he never heard of him?

But this uncle is really handsome.

Yuan Guangyi came back to his senses, gently touched Yuan Mingbin's head, then turned around and slowly walked back home.

After leaving, Yuan Wei resumed her habit of sending letters back from time to time.

Because she knew that if she didn't write back to report her safety, Yuan Guangyi would always be thinking about her.

She didn't want to make him worry or hurt his feelings.
