Somewhere in the demon realm.
Xie Jingshan got a golden leaf from the sacred tree by Jiang Yuebai. With it, he can freely enter and leave the demon realm. As long as he does not step into the forbidden area and does not invade the territories of other ethnic groups, no one will stop him.
Although he was very curious about the demon race, he felt a sense of urgency when he thought of Jiang Yuebai "sleeping" in the back room.
"I can't just wander around. I have to seize the time when she's not practicing to practice. No matter how good her magic is, I have to reach the middle stage of the Golden Core before her."
Thinking of this, Xie Jingshan gave up the opportunity to explore the demon clan, and worked diligently every day, meditating at night and practicing swordsmanship during the day.
He just stood outside the room where Jiang Yuebai was "sleeping", not leaving for a moment.
The lights are on at midnight and the rooster crows at dawn. It is the time for men to practice swordplay.

As soon as Jiang Yuebai stepped into the area of Wanmusen, he first saw the intricate root systems underground. They belonged to different plants, some of which did not interfere with each other, while others were entangled with each other. They penetrated deep into the groundwater source and occupied almost all the space underground.
All those roots gave Jiang Yuebai a dangerous aura. As soon as she got close, tentacles from several roots immediately extended towards her.
Jiang Yuebai quickly retreated and saw those different tentacles entangled and strangled each other, causing losses to both sides.
The road ahead was blocked, so Jiang Yuebai had no choice but to crawl out of the ground, hide under thick dead leaves, and go deep into the forest.
During this journey, she thought a lot. Since she wanted to grow grass, she couldn't just grow Yunzhi grass. She wanted to experience the survival methods of as many different kinds of grass as possible.
Before, Tiannanxing promised to give her several kinds of spiritual plants for grafting, and also asked her to go to the forest to learn about the various spiritual plants herself, and tell Tiannanxing which one she liked, and he would help her find a grass demon with high cultivation to exchange for a piece.
With her current demonic power, she can only graft one more spiritual plant. She can only continue grafting after her soul and demon body are in perfect harmony, that is, after she has been baptized by the Emperor's Flowing Juice and truly reached the Divine Pill Realm.
Then there is the matter of divine sacrificial ceremonies. Each tribe will select a demon below the Divine Pill Realm, and the Plant and Wood Demon Tribe will fight for this in the Wanmu Forest.
Even if she had the recommendation of the sacred tree and Arisaema consanguineum, she still had to convince the public.
Yo~
The sound of a deer calling was heard, Jiang Yuebai felt the ground shaking, and a white vine popped out from the dead leaves.
Now she is more like a snake than a grass, wandering around without taking root. The energy of the white vine is consumed very quickly. If she were not able to plunder the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she would not be able to sustain such a long-distance journey.
Jiang Yuebai heard the sound of footsteps on dead leaves getting closer and closer, and then a black shadow came down from above his head. The memory of being smashed into mud by the monkey came back to him. Jiang Yuebai tightened the vine and rushed forward with a whip in his backhand.
Bang!
With a whimper, Jiang Yuebai quickly escaped from the shadow range before turning around to look.
A pure white deer stopped in the distance, with traces of mud on its face that she had pulled out, and its antlers growing toward the sky like branches.
There were several vines entwined on it, with colorful flowers blooming, attracting butterflies to fly around its antlers. The whole deer brought a natural and sacred aura to Jiang Yuebai, making Cao inexplicably want to worship it.
Yo~
The white deer cried to Jiang Yuebai and approached again with small steps. Jiang Yuebai was attracted by the aura of the white deer and forgot to avoid it for a moment.
The white deer lowered its head and sniffed Jiang Yuebai, then suddenly opened its mouth and bit Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai suddenly came back to his senses, little magic: pollen!
The white deer was caught off guard and had its nose filled with pollen. It began to sneeze continuously, scaring away the butterflies around its antlers.
Jiang Yuebai immediately slipped away without looking back and rushed towards the place where he sensed the most concentrated spiritual energy.
Gradually, Jiang Yuebai sensed more and more divine thoughts, which became increasingly noisy, like a vegetable market.
"Today is another beautiful day~"
"Bees, bees, come on~"
"Can't the damn bug just chew on a piece of grass?"
"That's my prey! You thief!"
"The wind is blowing. Go, my children, and expand your own territory. It's up to you to expand our tribe."
The demon clan's divine consciousness is actually just an idea, and there is no need to translate its meaning among the demon clan.
But Jiang Yuebai has the thinking of the human race, and when these thoughts are transmitted to her sea of consciousness, she will subconsciously translate them into human language.
Jiang Yuebai followed those divine thoughts and saw a blue lake like a mirror, lush forests beside the lake, blooming flowers, flowing lights and phantom shadows, like a fairyland.
Flower fairies, butterfly fairies, bees and flying insects were busy all over the place, and all kinds of forest monsters gathered in groups to drink water and rest by the lake, making it very lively and lively.
If she was not in the wrong place, this should be the Lake of Life, Qiye Lake, in the Wanmu Forest, where all the tribes in the entire Wanmu Forest depend on for survival.
With the lake as the center, here gathers more than 70% of the plant monsters in the demon realm who have not yet transformed and are below the divine pill realm.
To survive here, you must first seize a piece of territory. The closer to the lake, the more brutal the fighting.
Because there is no obstruction by the lake, one can better bathe in the moonlight. The lake is full of abundant water vapor and rich spiritual energy, and there are also a large number of "gifts" from monsters to choose from.
"… Look, what is that, a white snake?"
"Is it a white vine, a little vine monster from outside?"
"It smells like Yunzhi grass, but why is Yunzhi grass in the shape of a vine?"
The flowers and plants in the forest swayed in the wind, whispering to each other, and all kinds of divine thoughts swept over Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai turned a deaf ear and walked through the flowers and plants.
"Ouch! You hit me!"
"You scared away my bees!"
After looking around, Jiang Yuebai saw several old trees near the lake, all of which were entangled with vines. There was only some moss growing around the old trees, and no other flowers or plants.
The old tree has a weak breath, but its vines are full of vitality and aura.
When Jiang Yuebai stopped here, there was a sound of gasps from all around. Even the busy flower and butterfly fairies stopped and looked at her in disbelief.
"Is it trying to kill itself? How dare it step into the territory of the Stone Dragon Vine?"
"The Stone Dragon Vine is one of the vine monsters that has the best chance of being selected for this divine sacrifice ceremony. It's nicknamed Ghost Waist for a reason. No old tree monster it targets will survive."
"It's a three-hundred-year-old vine monster. Its poison is extremely strong. The last time I encountered it, I almost lost my intelligence to the poison."
Listening to their chatter, Jiang Yuebai also noticed that the surrounding bee colonies were collecting honey everywhere, but not near here.
"Ahem, ahem ~ Xiao Yunzhi, you should settle down somewhere else. It's very dangerous here."
The old and tired divine consciousness was transmitted into Jiang Yuebai's sea of consciousness. The white vines were raised up, and the dead trees shook their leafless branches.
The vines are tightly wrapped around the tree, circle after circle until they reach the top of the tree. The lush green leaves and the small white windmill-like flowers form a sharp contrast to the lifeless look of the dead tree.
Jiang Yuebai had seen vines entwined around trees in the mountains when she was a child. She still remembered what the old people in the village said: the vines and old trees were so entwined that they imitated the love between humans.
But in fact, this is a very cruel phenomenon in the forest.
The ivy is weak and the old tree is old. The weak ivy will entwine around the old tree, robbing the old tree of sunlight, rain and nutrients.
In the end, the ivy will thrive, but the old tree will be strangled to death.
Even though Jiang Yuebai is a grass now, she still retains a trace of humanity. Humanity will sympathize with the weak and repay the kindness of others.
Jiang Yuebai quietly buried the white vine in the soil under the tree and firmly rooted it. The stone dragon vine was startled by her, and the small white flowers trembled and scattered a lot of pollen. Several vines broke away from the tree and rolled towards Jiang Yuebai.
The slender vines coiled around the rhizomes under the leaves of the cloud grass like a snake, giving the feeling of strangling a person's neck.
Jiang Yuebai continued to grow his own Yunzhi grass leaves, dancing provocatively towards the vines.
plunder!
Before the vine tightened, Jiang Yuebai activated the "Immortal Herb Sutra" without hesitation and forcibly absorbed the essence of the plants in the Stone Dragon Vine.
The Stone Dragon Vine was frightened and wanted to retreat, but Jiang Yuebai shot out a white vine and wrapped it around the Stone Dragon Vine.
Come on, good friends, let’s hold hands!
[You used the Immortal Grass Sutra to plunder the essence of the third victim, the Stone Dragon Vine. Immortal Grass Sutra proficiency +666]
[… Proficiency +666]
[… Proficiency +666]
The stone dragon vines on the surrounding old trees began to wither and die at a speed visible to the naked eye. The old trees, which were bound so tightly that they could hardly breathe, struggled hard to break free from the dry vines and shook their dead branches excitedly.
The forest at noon is the most lively and noisy time, but at this moment, it becomes quiet and silent because of the domineering Jiang Yuebai, the foreign vine.
As if frozen in time, the flowers, trees, bees, butterflies, insects and mice all stared in shock at the walnut-sized clump of young grass under the dead tree.
Jiang Yuebai sucked the stone dragon vine dry, knocked the mountain and frightened the tiger, established her position as the dominant grass, and took root peacefully, officially starting her life of practice as a grass.
