"Alright! Let’s loot the bodies! Oh no, let’s loot the treasures!"
Qing Jun cheered, not minding the filth, expertly beginning to clear the battlefield.
This little girl seemed carefree, but she had an astounding talent for treasure hunting.
In no time.
"Wow! Senior sister! There are lots of Spirit Stones in this Storage Bag!"
"Hey? Although this Bone Saber is kind of ugly, it’s really tough. We can take it back to sell for Spirit Stones!"
"This flag is disgusting... But senior sister said it’s valuable, so let’s take it!"
Qing Jun was like a busy little bee, stripping clean the relics left by the four Ten Thousand Puppet Sect cultivators, not even letting a few slightly Spiritual Qi-infused bones slip by.
While the junior sister joyfully gathered treasures,
the senior sister was secretly full of doubts.
"Strange, how did they know our location? We couldn’t even trace the paths of our sect’s fellows, yet they found us instead..."
She silently mused, her eyes turning cold.
It seemed these people had a way to find their location.
But it was certain that they hadn’t been marked for tracking.
"So how did they find us? Master once said there was a projection outside Luoxiao Grotto Heaven. Right when we arrived at the Withered Wood Forest, we were projected by Luoxiao Grotto Heaven once... After that, someone followed us in secret. Could it be that the opponent has a way to communicate externally? Therefore, they could ascertain our location from outside. Yet, the Five Sects of Yan Country have researched for hundreds of years without discovering communication methods."
Zhiwei quickly thought of the sudden arrival of Huayue Mansion.
This mansion came with great momentum, perhaps truly knowing something about Luoxiao Grotto Heaven.
But why did people from Huayue Mansion target them first?
...
The mountain path was rugged, clouds rolled and surged.
On the cliffs, vibrant Spirit Flowers occasionally bloomed.
"Huff huff—"
The little girl panted heavily, sweat was nearly pouring from her fair little face!
Behind her, Jin’er was holding her neck worriedly:
"Senior sister, should I get down and walk..."
Zhiwei glanced at the tired little girl and sneered:
"Jin’er, don’t be fooled by Qing Jun. This girl has monstrous strength, just plain lazy."
"That’s not true!"
Qing Jun retorted confidently,
"Qing Jun is just an ordinary girl, shorter than you all! Isn’t being tired normal?"
"Ordinary?"
Zhiwei found it amusing, stretched out her hand, unabashedly pinched Qing Jun’s soft cheek,
"An ordinary girl who eats three bowls of Spirit Rice in one meal and just punched a Foundation Establishment Middle Period Corpse Puppet into the mountain body with no way to extract it? If that’s called ordinary, every Body Cultivator in Yan Kingdom ought to be ashamed."
"Ouch! Senior sister let go! My face will swell! If it swells, Master won’t like it..."
Qing Jun protested indistinctly, flapping her small hands,
"That... that was an outburst! Yeah! It was potential burst from fright! The current Qing Jun, is just a weak, powerless, energy needing little thing!"
The senior sister squinted her eyes, being even more relentless, continuously pinching Qing Jun’s cheeks, trying to make her little face a bit bigger, so this girl doesn’t dream wildly all day.
"Chirp chirp..."
Jin’er lay on Qing Jun’s back, while the little white fox lay on Jin’er’s shoulder, poking out its head, suspiciously eyeing this cliff.
Especially those blooming Spirit Flowers on the cliff.
Hmm...
Isn’t this Yunduan Mountain?
This mountain is one of the seventy-nine peaks of Lingyun, located at the outermost of the seventy-nine peaks.
And the Withered Stone Forest is at the foot of Yunduan Mountain.
"Chirp chirp (What is Chen Ye up to? Is there really treasure in Yunduan Mountain?)"
The little white fox was puzzled.
Although external cultivators know little about the seventy-nine peaks of Lingyun,
But based on common sense, the closer to the central Spirit Mountain, the higher the importance; what can be good in Yunduan Mountain located at the outermost?
"Little White, are you craving those Spirit Flowers?"
Zhiwei saw the little white fox had been foolishly staring at the Spirit Flowers on the cliff, saying amusedly,
"Don’t get greedy now. Those Spirit Flowers look bright and beautiful, but are extremely dangerous."
"Chirp chirp!"
The little white fox protested indignantly, does it look like a greedy fox?
Besides, it knows these Spirit Flowers are poisonous; many cultivators lost their lives trying to pick them, including a Fake Pill cultivator!
"Huh? How come Qing Jun didn’t smell any poison? These Spirit Flowers seem to be a Second Tier Upper Grade Spirit Plant!"
Qing Jun curiously looked up, licking her lips,
"Senior sister, Qing Jun shouldn’t be afraid of these toxins, right?"
No dragon would be killed by Spirit Plant poison!
The little girl was already eager to try.
Zhiwei quickly warned: "These flowers are not just poisonous. They appear numerous but are actually just avatars of a Golden Core demon plant!"
"Golden Core?!"
Upon hearing those words, Qing Jun, who had been drooling over Spirit Flowers, was nearly scared into unconsciousness.
This little girl was timid!
Don’t be fooled as if she’s fearless, that’s only for things she’s confident in, like against her Master...
But now, against a Golden Core demon plant, Qing Jun is not sure at all.
Carrying Jin’er, she dashed behind her senior sister, only revealing half her head, cautiously staring at the seemingly captivating flowers: "Senior sister, don’t scare me! These flowers all over the mountain... are Golden Core masters?"
Even the little white fox perched on Jin’er’s shoulder, all its fur stood on end.
It only knew the flowers were problematic, but not that they were avatars of a Golden Core demon plant.
Oh no.
If something really happened, not only would these three be in danger, but even its own fox life wouldn’t be spared.
