She lowered her eyes. Even if Dai Yuzhu really discovered something and wanted to take Xiaobai away, she would not give him up!
Dai Yuzhu investigated for a long time but did not find anything unusual. This rat beast only had a single earth spiritual root.
There was disappointment in her eyes, and the last trace of suspicion in her heart finally disappeared.
Maybe I made a mistake before.
Dai Yuzhu returned the rat beast to Xu Chunniang, then took out a medium-grade beast spirit pill from the storage bag and handed it over.
"Since you have a good relationship with this rat beast, I will give this pill to you."
Xu Chunniang took the pill gratefully and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although for some reason Dai Yuzhu did not detect anything unusual, she has finally passed this hurdle.
After we leave the Hundred Demons Mountain Range, we must buy a spirit beast bag and hide Xiaobai safely.
Zhao Mingren was not idle. He arranged for his fellow junior brothers and sisters to pick all the spiritual herbs in the entire cave.
After counting the harvest, a smile appeared on his face. Although he did not get the three-leaf phantom flower, the harvest was still good.
"Junior Sister Dai, how about we take a short break here and then set off again in two hours?"
Dai Mingzhu nodded, knowing that the two hours given by Zhao Mingren were for them to recover.
After all, he had just fought against the three-eyed red fox, and consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
Seeing Dai Mingzhu and the other two start to meditate, Xu Chunniang thought about it and started to meditate as well.
She had just used a lot of water binding techniques. Considering her displayed fifth level of Qi training, her spiritual power should be almost exhausted.
Two hours later, everyone regrouped and set off again.
Both Zhao Mingren and Dai Mingzhu had a tacit understanding and did not deliberately mention the affiliation of Xu Chunniang, a mere outer disciple.
It was natural for her to continue following the team led by Dai Mingzhu.
Either of these two teams has certain strength if taken alone, and they will undoubtedly be stronger after being combined into one.
Even though the foxes in this mysterious forest were extremely cunning, they were still killed by the cooperation of the two teams.
However, the two teams cleared out several fox holes and searched most of the Lost Forest, but there was no trace of the Three-Leaf Fantasy Flower.
As for the three-eyed red fox cub, there was not even a single hair left on it.
Lin Yuxuan showed a trace of relief on her face. Only then did she realize how rare it was to have two little red foxes a few days ago.
Zhao Mingren calculated the time. It had been a while since this mission started, and it was almost time to go back.
He glanced at everyone and said calmly, "The psychedelic effect of the Lost Forest will decrease on every full moon night. The full moon night will come in two days, so we can take the opportunity to leave the Lost Forest tonight."
"Two days before and after the full moon, you can easily enter and exit the Lost Forest. There's no need to leave in such a hurry, right?"
Chu Chan'er chuckled, but raised an objection, "I finally came here, and I'm not willing to go back like this."
Chu Chan'er expressed the thoughts of the others. Which one of the three inner disciples, Huangfu Yao, Wei Dawu, and Zhong Sheng, was not arrogant
Before embarking on the mission, they wished to clear out all the rare spiritual herbs in the Bai Yao Mountains.
But when they walked into the heart of the mountains and experienced many dangers, they realized that with their cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi training, if it were not for the protection of their senior brother, they would have died several times already.
But letting them leave like this is a shame.
Wei Dawu is a calm man, but at this moment he clasped his fists towards Zhao Mingren.
"Brother, since there are still a few days left, I think we can try again. If it really doesn't work, it won't be too late to leave."
Huangfu Yao had a cold expression and directly released the bombshell news.
"Before we set off, my brother gave me a more detailed map. There is a place on the map that is not too far from where we are. Although my brother didn't say there are any monsters there, judging by the markings he made, the danger level is not high."
What Huangfu Yao meant was that he wanted to explore the place marked on the map.
Although Zhong Sheng didn't say anything, his expression was very determined and he was also unwilling to leave like this.
Zhao Mingren looked at his fellow junior brothers and sisters and sighed secretly in his heart.
Do they really think that spiritual herbs and objects are so easy to obtain
Looking at the people in front of him, Zhao Mingren seemed to see his past self.
He once considered himself a genius. He started practicing Taoism at the age of ten and broke through to the seventh level of Qi training before the age of twenty-five.
At that time, he was young and full of vigor, thinking that cultivation was just like this. The so-called barriers were just an exaggeration by the predecessors.
I am more confident that as long as I persist and work hard, I can get what I want.
The result was that after repeated setbacks, he realized the limits of his abilities.
But fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye, and he was already forty years old.
However, his progress in cultivation was slow. He only advanced from the early stage of the seventh level of Qi training to the late stage of the eighth level of Qi training. He had not even entered the ninth level of Qi training, and the distance to building a foundation was still a long way off.
This is how spiritual practice works: it is easy to get started, but each step becomes more difficult as time goes on.
Without background and opportunity, in the later stages of Qi training, one must rely on the accumulation of time to achieve improvement in realm.
It took Zhao Mingren a long time to slowly understand that even for an inner disciple, it was not easy to build a foundation.
I'm afraid that only after a few more years, when these junior brothers and sisters realize the difficulty and cruelty of practicing Taoism, will they be able to understand how he feels now.
What's more, even if the three-leaf fantasy flower really does exist, so what? This spiritual creature grows alone, and there is no more than one plant growing on the top of a cave.
Even if one of them gets lucky and gets it, the other three will return empty-handed.
No, they had no chance at all.
Zhao Mingren knew very clearly that if he encountered a spiritual object like the Three-Leaf Fantasy Flower, he would fight for it.
He didn't take action before because he didn't like the person.
Zhao Mingren collected his thoughts and said calmly, "If that's the case, let's leave in a few days. I wonder if Junior Sister Dai will come with us or leave first?"
Dai Yuzhu's eyes moved slightly. Junior Sister Yuxuan had already obtained two red fox cubs, and there didn't seem to be much benefit for them to stay any longer.
After all, she didn't think that she could be so lucky as to get another litter of little red foxes.
She turned to look at her fellow apprentices, "What do you two think? Should we go back now, or should we go back with Senior Brother Zhao and the others in a few days?"
As for Xu Chunniang, the outer disciple, Dai Yuzhu simply ignored her.
Xiao Fen thought about the terrible consequences he might face after returning, and his eyes suddenly wandered, "I think... it's been great traveling with Senior Brother Zhao and the others, um, it's been great."
Lin Yuxuan was unwilling and stuck out her tongue. "It's so boring to practice in the sect all day. I finally came out. I don't want to go back now."
Dai Yuzhu wanted to go back as soon as possible and bring her fellow junior brothers and sisters back safely so that she could report to her master.
But neither of them wanted to go back, and as her senior sister, she couldn't force them to leave.
Dai Yuzhu turned her head and looked at Zhao Mingren who was standing there with a smile on his face, and spoke helplessly.
"Senior Brother Zhao has also seen that my two junior brothers and sisters are used to playing around. Once they come out, they become obsessed with playing and are unwilling to go back. I can only rely on Senior Brother Zhao again."
Zhao Mingren smiled and shook his head, "I would love to have Junior Sister Dai to help me."
"But I have to make it clear first. If we encounter any spiritual creatures next time, it will all depend on our own abilities."
Dai Yuzhu had a half-smile on her face. If the harvest was still distributed in the same way as before, she would only suffer losses.
Zhao Mingren kept smiling, "This is natural. Spiritual creatures are born and raised by nature. Seeing them is a blessing."
The two of them talked and laughed, but in fact they had their own thoughts.
If they really encountered the three-leaf phantom flower, the two of them would definitely have to fight for it!
