Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms
Chapter 573 Entering The Ancient JungleEveryone exited the helicopter. Soon, they started to form groups based on their factions. Among the crowd, Yuntao Faction had the highest number of disciples – around thirty. Other group consisted of around ten people. In the end, Chen Xiaobei and Yap Liangchen were left alone.
"Master Yap!"
Suddenly, a young man shouted. There were ten people following behind him.
"Du Qiuyu! You are here as well!"
A smile appeared on Yap Liangchen's face when he looked at the person. He then used a soft tone to explained to Chen Xiaobei.
"He is the young master of a lowly faction in Jianghu and he used to be my brother in debauchery."
Without saying anything, Chen Xiaobei nodded his head.
"Master Yap, you are here with this elder? Join my team! Let's work together to make sure that we have each other backs!"
"This…"
"Stop the hesitation. Considering our friendship, please don't tell me that you are going to reject my offer!"
Immediately, Du Qiuyu placed his arms on Yap Liangchen's shoulder. It seemed like they were rather close. Their action attracted the attention of Jianghu folks around them. Upon seeing this, Chen Xiaobei nodded at Yap Liangchen subtly. Trouble might come to them if Yap Liangchen rejected Du Qiuyu in front of everyone.
With a smile on his face, Yap Liangchen immediately understood Chen Xiaobei's intention.

"Well said! Well said! Oh right, may I know who Elder Bei is?"
Immediately, everyone included Bi Yuntao and Zhuang Yuejin straightened up their ears as they wanted to know Chen Xiaobei's true identity. On the surface, Chen Xiaobei looked really old. One should know that most of the elders in Jianghu were some kind of super elites. Naturally, Chen Xiaobei became the center of attention.
"There must be some misunderstanding here. I'm no elite. I'm just a doctor."
"What? Doctor?"
"I thought you were some kind of elite! I wanted to lick your boots earlier! Knowing that you are just a doctor ruins my day!"
Upon hearing Chen Xiaobei claim that he was just a doctor, Du Qiuyu's attitude changed faster than flipping a book from one page to the other page. All the other ten followers in his group were equally disappointed as well. The sound of laughter could be heard from other groups. Seeing this as a joke, all of them went and minded their own business.
This was the reality. Everyone would have tried boot-licking him if he introduced himself as a Jianghu elite. However, they lost interest in him after knowing that he was just a doctor. They did not even bother to turn around to look at him.
"Old man! How old are you? Where did you find the guts to enter Mount Gloomy Tiger? This is an ancient jungle where you don't normally see people entering a place like this! Aren't you afraid of dying here?" A short and fat man from the group asked mockingly.
"That's right! You should just get the hell back to the helicopter and wait for us to return! You are going to slow us down if you come with us! Nobody will care about you if you died in this jungle!"
Another thin man glared at Chen Xiaobei with a look of contempt.
"Hands off! I will only travel with Elder Bei! We will travel by ourselves if you don't welcome us!" Immediately, Yap Liangchen declared in a cold tone while shaking off Du Qiuyu's hands.
After putting some thought into it, it was not necessary to offend Yap Liangchen because of a doctor. He then said a deep tone, "Fat Bear and Bamboo Snake! Watch your tone when you talk to the doctor! Apologize to Master Yap now! We are about to enter the jungle!"
With an unwilling look on their faces, both of them said, "Master Yap, we are so sorry."
After that, everyone marched into the jungle in groups in this huge ancient jungle.
"Master Du, do you think we can locate the Black Star Ganoderma this time?" asked Fat Bear.
"Stop dreaming! Black Star Ganoderma definitely belongs to Yuntao Faction! The faction leader of Yuntao Faction, Bi Yuntao is willing to lower himself down to take on this mission! Clearly, he will be the one that claims this bounty! Considering his combat power and capability, no one here is powerful enough to fight with him!"
"Master Du! You are right! This bounty was designed for Bi Yuntao! Knowing that Yuntao Faction is located near this ancient jungle, they should know this place better than anyone else!" said Bamboo snake.
"With that being said, what are we doing here? It's a waste of time!" said Fat Bear.
"This is not a waste of time. Huangfu Mumin and the Zhuang Family are the reasons why people choose to take on to this bounty! In other words, we will be taken care of if we come across any problems since they owe us a favor. Right?"
"I see now! It is no wonder some garbage was thick-skinned enough to join us! So, this is his wishful thinking!" Fat Bear retorted.
A series of laughter could be heard after he made the comment. Everyone knew who the garbage he was referring to was. Yap Liangchen was furious. Standing at the back of the team, he would have stridden towards Fat Bear and taught him a lesson if Chen Xiaobei did not stop him. However, they were being seen as weaklings since they had decided to not say anything about it. Instantly, mockery filled the air.
"Garbage is garbage! He didn't even defend himself after our insults!"
"I really don't understand why Master Yap brought him here! He is a burden!"
"Ain't that right! Look at him! He's about to die of old age! Why did he even bother to come here? Will we be blamed if he dies in this jungle?"
"I think that is bound to happen no matter what! What a terrifying thought!"

Chen Xiaobei was being treated like a joke with more and more people joined in the mocking squad. Seeing that Yap Liangchen could not wait to beat them up, Chen Xiaobei wanted him to keep calm to prevent any unnecessary troubles.
"Look! It's Ganoderma!"
Suddenly, Bamboo Snake shouted. He then ran towards a stone quickly and he found a small crimson Ganoderma in the stone crack.
"You have overreacted! This is not the Black Star Ganoderma!" said Fat Bear.
"I'm still happy even though this is not the Black Star Ganoderma that we want to find! This wild Ganoderma can be sold for a few thousand Yuan!" said Bamboo Snake.
"For real?!"
The crowd was taken aback when they heard the price of wild Ganoderma.
"Of course, this is real! There are more medicinal herbs that are better than this Ganoderma in this jungle! Last month, my friend found a wild ginseng in this mountain and he sold it for three million yuan! That was truly incredible!"
"Three million?! That is not a small number!"
"With that being said, I'm going to announce something right now! We go on a first come first served basis. If you find any rare medicinal herbs, it is yours. I don't want any fighting in my group! Is that clear?!"
"Yes!"
"Alright. Disperse and look for all kinds of rare medicinal herbs! Do not stray too far from each other. It's easier for us to gather later!"
"Make sure you check every spot thoroughly! We might be able to find something that's worth millions!"
