Welcome to the Happy Village in the Spiritual Realm of the Great Universe!

To be on the safe side, Yun Bai hid behind a big rock and carefully checked the situation of the two people. Yuan Ye just waved his hand, and a spiritual weapon like a glass bowl flew out, quickly enlarged in mid-air and flew straight to the Iron Armored Bear. It directly covered it and then quickly shrank, and then flew back to Yuan Ye's hand. The whole process took no more than ten seconds, and from beginning to end, the Iron Armored Bear didn't even twitch his eyelids, and slept soundly.

Then, the two of them were seen tiptoeing towards the fire fungus little by little, with four eyes fixed on it at the same time, as if they were afraid of scaring it away. When they were about two meters away from it, the two of them released their spiritual power together and instantly formed a large net, which quickly covered the fire fungus. Yuanye was still muttering something, as if chanting some spell, which sounded like a lullaby.

Seeing that the fire ganoderma was about to be successfully collected, Yuanye and the other man couldn't help but smile. But at this moment, the hot spring suddenly boiled, and then the fire ganoderma inside instantly turned into a red light. With the speed of lightning, in one hundredth of a second, it broke out of the encirclement of the spiritual power net, and flew out of the cave with a whoosh. That direction was clearly where Yun Bai was!

Oh no, how could it be such a coincidence that the fire mushroom matured at this moment! But no one touched it, why would it be alarmed? In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Yuanye's mind, but he only shouted:

"Xiaobai, get out of the way! It's dangerous!" As he said this, he released two streams of spiritual power, one to protect himself and Zhao Hongshan, and the other to desperately chase after the Fire Ganoderma. However, its speed was too fast, and even Yuanye, who was already at the third level of Seven Stars, could not catch up!

"It's over!" All this happened in the blink of an eye. Yun Bai didn't react at all. She saw that the fire ganoderma had already flown over her head. Yuan Ye's heart skipped a beat. This was all his fault! When people are in a hurry, they don't have time to think too much. He pushed Zhao Hongshan farther away and at the same time, he jumped towards Yun Bai. The explosion power of the third-grade fire ganoderma was extraordinary. His best protective magic weapon was his own body. Now, he couldn't care about anything else. He had to save his students no matter what!

"Teacher, Xiaobai!" Zhao Hongshan only felt a strong force coming at him, and his body was thrown backwards completely out of control. He could only try his best to send a protective spiritual power to Yun Bai. The rest of the time, he could only watch his junior sister who was so close to Huozhi and his teacher who was like a moth flying into a flame.

However, the expected horrific explosion did not occur. Yuan Ye and Zhao Hongshan were still in mid-air when they saw a scene that shocked them.

The terrifying fire mushroom known as "Touch and you will die Fire Thunder Explosion" actually flew into Yun Bai's hands at this moment, allowing her to hold it in her hands at will, and seemed to enjoy it! What's going on? Normally, if this thing is touched by even a hair, it will explode without hesitation. Its power is enough to make a 2-star monk die, and even a -star Yuan Ye will be seriously injured! But what happened today? How did "Touch and you will die Fire Thunder Explosion" suddenly become a docile little cutie?

In shock and confusion, the two of them actually forgot to use their spiritual power to drive themselves, and let their bodies fall heavily to the ground. Then they didn't care about how dizzy they were from the fall, they just got up and rushed to Yun Bai.

It took a full minute. After Yuanye carefully wrapped the fire fungus with spiritual power, put it into a special box and added three protective talisman arrays on the outside, he and Zhao Hongshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that there was nothing else in the cave, and after the fire mushroom was put away, the cave immediately became foul-smelling. The three of them covered their noses and hurried out of the cave. After they got outside, Zhao Hongshan couldn't help asking Yun Bai:

"Xiaobai, how did you do it? The fire ganoderma seemed to know you and flew to your hand on its own. That thing is normally not allowed to be touched by even the slightest external force, otherwise it will explode immediately. If it explodes, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Yuanye also looked at Yunbai with interest, waiting for her answer.

"I don't know either! I just saw a flash of red light flying towards me, and before I could react, it was in my hand. However, I didn't feel any danger, and I could even vaguely feel a sense of intimacy from it..." Yun Bai said. The second half of her sentence was true, but the first half was not. In fact, she had a vague guess, but she needed to find an opportunity to verify it later. In any case, this matter was related to her great universe spiritual realm, and she could not disclose it no matter what. If her guess was verified later, she would have to think of a reasonable and legitimate reason.

"That's interesting. Although the explosion of the third-grade fire ganoderma is extremely powerful, it is far from the stage of opening spiritual intelligence. However, it can convey emotions... This is not in line with common sense... Unless..." Yuanye frowned and thought with his thick black eyebrows. Then, as if he remembered something, his eyes suddenly lit up. But he did not say the words after unless, because that situation is too rare. He would rather believe that it was Xiaobai's illusion, which is more likely than that!

"Teacher, Senior Brother, thank you!" Yun Bai suddenly said something without a beginning or an end. She saw clearly that in the critical moment, Senior Brother was really anxious, and that spiritual power was completely all-out. What moved her even more was the round figure that rushed over desperately. The teacher wanted to use his body to protect her!

Yun Bai’s words stunned the two of them, and it took them a moment to react.

"I didn't do anything... Protecting my junior sister is my duty as a senior brother... but I can't do anything..." Zhao Hongshan smiled innocently, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. It was the first time he blamed himself for his low strength and being powerless in the face of danger.

"You are my student, and it is my duty as a teacher to protect your safety. Moreover, it was because of my misjudgment that you two were in danger. No matter what, I must take full responsibility." The always careless Fatty Yuan had a serious expression on his face, but it only lasted for a few seconds. He changed back to a playful smile, blinking his two small black eyes, and said with a smile:

"Anyway, we've made a real profit this time. A complete and mature third-grade Fire Ganoderma is extremely rare, because mature ones are generally very difficult to pick, and ninety-nine out of a hundred will explode. And the immature spiritual power and medicinal effects are not as abundant - so, our plant will definitely sell for a good price, and maybe even have a chance to be on the auction list." After this false alarm, he has made up his mind to buy a set of medium-grade protective equipment for each of his two apprentices in a few days. A situation like today must never happen again!

"What about that armored bear? Did we sell it too?" Zhao Hongshan asked.

"This little bear is not yet an adult and cannot be sold for a good price. It is better to keep it first. It is a good guard at home." Yuanye said.

Yun Bai did not respond because her mind was full of thoughts on how to verify her guess.

"It's a pity that it's still so cold now. It's hard to find plants, let alone spiritual plants." Yun Bai was worried when his eyes suddenly lit up. He ran to Zhao Hongshan and said, "Brother, when you go back, can you lend me the pots of Fire Dragon Grass in your room so that I can do an experiment?"
