Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect

Chapter 67 Does it eat people?
Jiang Xuan'an looked at the double-petaled camellia that had suddenly pressed against his face, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should draw his sword or not.

Shen Youqing walked up and slapped away the camellia that looked so tempting, saying irritably, "You can't eat it."

I want to eat as soon as I wake up, and then I go back to sleep after I've eaten.

Even pigs aren't this easy to raise.

The camellias drooped down sadly, and even the few flower buds on one side drooped as well.

Jiang Xuan'an stared at Shen Youqing in astonishment.

Does this camellia eat people?
"Don't feel wronged." Shen Youqing patted another camellia that was about to bloom. "Let's see where there are spiritual plants."

The camellia bud swayed slightly, then continued to grow.

“This…” Jiang Xuan’an took two steps back, distancing himself from the thick tree trunk.

It really does look like it could eat people.

Shen Youqing obediently said, "This is the spiritual plant I contracted. It was dormant and absorbing spiritual energy before I woke it up."

At this point, Shen Youqing gently patted the cloth bag, "This is a Snow Crystal Purple-Eyed Cat. It stole a few spirit stones and fell into a deep sleep. I was worried about leaving it all alone on the Second Precept Peak, so I brought it here."

Jiang Xuan'an looked at the vibrant red camellia and tentatively asked, "Does it eat people?"

"I won't eat it!" Shen Youqing waved his hands repeatedly. "It only eats spirit beasts and such, not people!"

Jiang Xuan'an seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Youqing lightly kicked the tree root, "You've ruined my lifelong integrity!"

A camellia drooped down a branch, and a flower bud gently brushed against Shen Youqing's face.

Shen Youqing was helpless.

In no time, the huge camellia tree shrank, and when hung on the cloth bag, it looked like an ornament.

"There are spiritual plants here," Shen Youqing said as he led the way.

Jiang Xuan'an followed behind at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

After walking for about 35 or 45 minutes, the two saw a large patch of second-grade Spirit Rhinoceros Grass.

"There are ants at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, and a few at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage." Shen Youqing turned to Jiang Xuan'an and offered to divide the tasks, "I'll lure the ants away, and you go pick the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass?"

Jiang Xuan'an asked, "Shouldn't I be the one dealing with the ants?"

"I'm just practicing," Shen Youqing said.

Jiang Xuan'an thought for a moment and nodded.

Shen Youqing quickly threw out two talismans, and the ants that had been attracted by the talismans instantly crawled towards Shen Youqing. Each ant was about a meter long and there were so many of them that it was quite terrifying.

As Shen Youqing moved, he flicked talismans, gradually distancing the ants from the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass.

Jiang Xuan'an quickly went over and swiftly picked the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass. As for how he picked it...

They plucked them handful by handful, just like they would pluck wild vegetables.

The group of elders in front of the water mirror stared at Jiang Xuan'an, who was behaving like a brute, and their vision blurred.

Honestly, maybe Shen Youqing should stop fighting for now and go check on Jiang Xuan'an first!
"Shh-"

Sharp roots burst through the soil, strung together a line of termites.

Shen Youqing threw out attack talismans one after another, and many termites were blown to pieces.

The camellia gradually grew larger, and its soft green leaves became as sharp as knives. The beautiful camellia split open its heart, and one termite was devoured in a single bite.

After a stick of incense.

A strong smell of blood lingered in the air.

Shen Youqing raised her hand and formed a hand seal, and a green light array appeared beneath her feet.

The spiritual energy within his body, which was almost depleted, was rapidly replenished.

Once he had recovered sufficiently, Shen Youqing went over to help pick the Lingxi Grass.

!

No, he just went around picking Spirit Grass like he was picking wild vegetables?

"Stop!" Shen Youqing gasped and hurriedly called on Jiang Xuan'an to stop.

Jiang Xuan'an looked over, puzzled. "Collecting spiritual plants this way will greatly reduce their effectiveness!" Shen Youqing said, then personally demonstrated how to collect the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass.

Jiang Xuan'an looked closely, but asked in confusion, "Is there such a thing?"

Shen Youqing nodded, "There are many intricacies involved, and some very delicate spiritual plants require special tools to assist them."

Jiang Xuan'an shook his head, then carefully plucked the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass.

The camellias over there were feasting, while Shen Youqing and Jiang Xuan'an were collecting Lingxi grass over here.

As the harvesting was nearing its end, Jiang Xuan'an suddenly stopped what he was doing, stood up, and quickly drew his longsword.

Shen Youqing glanced at it, then looked away and continued collecting.

A moment later, a group of three people came into view.

Shen Qiulu was quite lucky. She encountered her third senior brother, Chi Guyuan, who was in the same group, shortly after entering the secret realm, and then she met Lu Ye from the Five Elements Sect.

The three of them hadn't walked far when they smelled blood. Following the scent, the first thing they saw was a bright red camellia tree, followed by Jiang Xuan'an, and a few scattered Spirit Rhinoceros Grasses.

Looking at the outnumbered Jiang Xuan'an and Shen Youqing, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Shen Youqing was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and Jiang Xuan'an alone...

"What do you mean?" Lu Ye asked.

Chi Guyuan looked at the camellia tree with some wariness. "This spiritual plant is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If it is Shen Youqing's contracted spiritual plant, then we may not be able to get it."

Looking at the camellia tree, Shen Qiulu suppressed her resentment and spoke coldly, "It is Shen Youqing's contracted spirit plant."

Her Hibiscus Sword was eaten by this damned spiritual plant!

Having received the answer, Chi Guyuan turned to look at Lu Ye, who was standing to the side, and said, "My idea is to avoid conflict for the time being."

Jiang Xuan'an brought Shen Youqing with him, but Shen Youqing has a late-stage Foundation Establishment spiritual plant. If they really fight, Junior Sister will definitely not be a match for Shen Youqing.

He was worried that if he and Lu Ye were fine, but his junior sister was eliminated, then it would be a loss.

“Okay.” Lu Ye nodded, then raised his hand and bowed to Jiang Xuan’an from afar.

Jiang Xuan'an looked at the three people in the distance and raised his hand to return Lu Ye's greeting.

Chi Guyuan raised his hand in a salute, and then prepared to walk around it.

After watching the three of them leave by taking a detour, Jiang Xuan'an sheathed his longsword. When he turned around, he saw Shen Youqing kneeling on the ground, completely lacking any decorum, picking the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass.

This……

There's no need to be so devout in picking a second-grade spiritual plant, is there?
Jiang Xuan'an's puzzled yet slightly concerned gaze was too obvious. Shen Youqing turned around and said, "I'm fine, my legs just went a little numb from squatting. This is more comfortable."

Jiang Xuan'an silently withdrew his gaze and went to help.

When Xiao Ke followed the scent of blood, the first thing he saw was the camellia tree.

The bright red camellia quickly approached Xiao Ke, revealing two rings of sharp, blood-stained thorns in its center.

"Snapped."

Xiao Ke slapped the bright red petals lightly, then calmly and composedly walked around the camellia tree.

The camellia, enraged by the slap, relentlessly pursued Xiao Ke, its petals almost touching his back.

"leave me alone."

Xiao Ke's voice, slightly disdainful, was deep and clear.

It must have devoured countless ants; the smell of blood is incredibly strong. If you dared to smear it on its body, you'd definitely slap this camellia a few more times.

The camellia was so angry that its branches and leaves shook violently, and the blooming double-petaled camellia lashed out at Xiao Ke's white robe.

Xiao Ke quickly dodged and slapped him across the face.

As if it had anticipated this, the camellia quickly withdrew one of its flowers.

After dodging the attack, the camellia swayed gently, looking quite pleased with itself.

Xiao Ke looked at the smug look on the broken flower and saw Shen Youqing's smugness reflected in it.

Flowers follow their owner.

I hereby solemnly declare that camellias do not eat people; they only want to nibble on wood (not really).
