The weather is getting colder and the morning fog is thick.
Under the soil, three fist-sized soul infant fruits were huddled together. They were pink and tender, stretching out their baby-like bodies and shaking their leaves on top of their heads that looked exactly like young sword calamus grass.
Shaking off the white frost, the soul infant fruits instinctively absorbed the ambergris scent in the soil and continued to hibernate.
Hmm!
With a whimper, one Soul Infant Fruit disappeared, while the other two Soul Infant Fruits were completely unaware.
whoosh!
Another Soul Infant Fruit disappeared, and the only remaining Soul Infant Fruit twisted its body. There were two empty pits around it. Was there something in it
Never mind, just go back to sleep.
A white vine approached silently. The only remaining Soul Infant Fruit opened its mouth to yawn, but was suddenly tied up by the white vine, making it unable to make any sound.
Bai Teng quickly grabbed the root of the Soul Infant Fruit and pulled it hard. The Soul Infant Fruit flew out of the soil, and the next moment it was thrown into a strange place and buried in new soil.
Seeing that the two who had disappeared before were also there, the new soul baby twisted his body into a comfortable position and continued to sleep.
A small grass dragon was walking cautiously among the calamus bushes. The surrounding calamus leaves felt strange and stretched out their slender leaves to get closer for a closer look.
Oh!
The little grass dragon roared in annoyance.
What are you looking at? It’s a dragon, a real grass dragon!
The leaves of the calamus were still approaching, and the little grass dragon jumped up in anger. With a wave of its dragon claws, large pieces of calamus were cut off, and the flying leaves were sucked away by a strange force and disappeared.
The irritable little grass dragon cut the grass while digging three feet into the ground to dig out the Soul Infant Fruit hidden underneath. Wherever it passed, not a blade of grass was left.
Jiang Yuebai used the white vine on his body and magic to disguise himself as a grass dragon. He had been deep in the Jianpu Sea for seven or eight days and found less than ten Soul Infant Fruits, all of which were less than a hundred years old.
In the Lotus Cave, Bai Jiuyou had already tried it and found that the Soul Infant Fruit and the Soul-Stirring Stone did have very similar effects, and could be used to distract and nourish the mind.
However, the medicinal properties of these Soul Infant Fruits, which are less than a hundred years old, are not strong enough, and we need to find ones that are older.
Jiang Yuebai moved forward while weeding. He swung out with one claw, and the outline of a dragon appeared under the flying grass leaves.
Hmm!
The huge green dragon head turned up and looked down at Jiang Yuebai, its eyes drooping and the fine grass on its body fluttering in the wind.
Jiang Yuebai's body was arched into two hills. Facing the powerful grass dragon in front of her, she was like a small earthworm, and quickly retreated with an apologetic look.
I'm sorry, I'm leaving, I'm leaving right away!
Jiang Yuebai walked away, and the dragon head disappeared into the calamus bushes again, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment and sleeping soundly.
Running a little further away, Jiang Yuebai continued to weed and dig. She discovered that dragons rarely slaughtered their own kind, and only showed their brutality when facing humans and other monsters.
In the Lotus Cave, Bai Jiuyou squatted beside the spiritual field, biting a popsicle, observing the soul infant fruit that had just been planted.
After a moment, he took the popsicle out of his mouth and shouted to the sky.
"Jiang Yuebai, your soul infant fruit cannot survive without the companion of the grass dragon."
The Soul Infant Fruit in the spiritual field had only been planted for a few days when it began to wither, even though a lot of Acorus calamus were planted around it.
"knew."
Jiang Yuebai, who was disguised as a grass dragon, responded with his divine sense and continued searching forward.

At that time, on the south side of Jianpu Sea, a young male cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core stage, dressed in a white dragon-patterned suit, was sitting cross-legged on the head of a silver dragon. Next to him was a boy, about fourteen or fifteen, who was in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment stage.
There were black nails nailed all over the silver dragon's body, connected to golden rune chains, the other end of the chain was held in the hand of a male cultivator in the early Jindan stage.
The two men were dressed alike, with the Fulong Sect's token hanging around their waists.
"Junior brother, this time the master personally caught a grass dragon for you. You must practice well in the future and don't let the master down."
The young man Chu He looked serious and nodded, "Fifth Brother, rest assured, I will work hard."
Dongfang Yu suddenly sighed, "Since Third Senior Brother disappeared without a reason and his fate tablet was shattered, Master has been unhappy. I haven't seen Master care so much about anyone in a long time."
"Master, does you like Third Brother very much?" Chu He asked.
Dongfang Yu nodded, "Your third senior brother Ning Zhiyuan is a genius, and he is particularly talented in the art of dragon herding. When our Fulong Sect competed with the Biyou Palace for the Golden Elixir, he won first place and won a Azure Dragon Token, which made Master very proud for a long time."
"If Third Senior Brother had not been entrusted by his sister before her death and had not been entangled by his unpromising nephew, he would not have suffered that disaster. Now he is just like his nephew, with no trace of him alive or dead. Master asked the elders of the sect to deduce but they could not find any trace. We have no idea what happened to him."
Chu He lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say.
Dongfang Yu patted Chu He's shoulder and said, "You don't have to feel stressed. You have a wood spirit body and a nearly flawless foundation. Master will definitely cultivate you with all his heart. This grass dragon is the first dragon you will control. Although it is not the strongest wood dragon, it has great potential. It is said that the grass dragon is the descendant of the Azure Dragon and has a slight chance of evolving into an Azure Dragon."
"If you can use this grass dragon to defeat the Green Wandering Palace and take first place at the Dragon Rising Contest five years later, Master will definitely give you the cave left by Third Senior Brother. It's a good place. Third Senior Brother's dragon is still there to guard the cave. If Master hadn't always believed that Third Senior Brother would come back and not let anyone touch it, the cave and the dragon would have been occupied by someone else long ago."
Chu He nodded vigorously, "I will try my best!"
Dongfang Yu nodded, retracted his gaze and looked down. His master arrived soon. He wanted to take Chu He to the outskirts of Jianpu Sea to investigate the situation first.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yu was stunned.
Is this Jian Pu Hai
The originally lush sea of calamus looked as if it had been plowed through, and the surrounding area was barren. There were no calamus left, only large areas of bare land.
Dongfang Yu pulled the rune chain, and the silver dragon whimpered in pain, slowing down and moving slowly towards the depths of the Jianpu Sea.
"Fifth Senior Brother, why does Jian Pu Hai look like he has alopecia areata?" Chu He asked puzzledly.
Dongfang Yu was filled with surprise as he looked at the vast expanses of wasteland in the sea of grass.
"Maybe... someone is digging up the Soul Infant Fruits?"
Dongfang Yu himself didn't believe this. He didn't have the ability to go to such a deep place in the Acorus Sea.
To be on the safe side, Dongfang Yu pulled the rune chain and controlled the silver dragon to fly around a few times. He did not find any traces of cultivators, but only saw a few young grass dragons swimming in the Jianpu Sea.
"Forget it. No matter who he is, even when Master arrives, he will not be a match for him. I will take you to a safe place first, and then I will watch carefully to see how Master subdues the grass dragon."
*
In the Jianpu Sea, Jiang Yuebai saw a silver dragon flying overhead. He wanted to retreat first and find a place to observe the situation before continuing to dig for Soul Infant Fruit.
Mochou Lake is right in the center of Jianpu Sea. She was not far away from there, so she changed direction and quietly moved over.
Not long after walking, Jiang Yuebai bumped into a huge monster.
It was clearly just a bush of calamus that looked exactly the same as the surrounding ones, and she didn't sense any grass dragon aura, but it was as hard as a wall of iron and steel.
Jiang Yuebai shook his disguised dragon head and saw the grass in front of him rolling horizontally.
The grass dragon's coiled body dispersed, and two streams of strong air sprayed on Jiang Yuebai, almost blowing her away.
She saw a huge dragon head and an extremely large dragon body, which was larger than all the grass dragons she had seen before, and its dragon power was almost as strong as that of the late Nascent Soul stage.
Under the dragon claws, which were thicker than her entire body, there were two grass dragon eggs wrapped in layers of sword calamus.
But this is not the point. The point is that Jiang Yuebai keenly sensed through the white vine deep underground that there were five Soul Infant Fruits very deep below the dragon egg. They had turned from pink to purple, indicating that they were more than five hundred years old, or even longer.
