Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

The hibiscus tree is tall and upright, with a trunk as straight as jade, and its entire body radiates a faint golden glow.

The tree crown is broad and dense, with winding leaves. Three circles of leaves are arranged in sequence, with six leaves on each circle. To the right of the bottom circle, there is a bird standing with its wings spread, ready to fly.

Xu Yeyu looked at the hibiscus tree. This big tree was one of the forbidden areas in the secret realm of Tianlai Lake, a place that could not be entered casually.

Because there is a guardian here, you will be beaten if you walk over rashly.

A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage is indeed no match for a Golden Core Stage guardian. This was said by the senior brothers and sisters who entered the secret realm of Sunset Sect a hundred years ago.

Of course, if you are curious about what the hibiscus tree looks like, you can take a look at it from a distance. The guardian will not hit you.

"What do you want to do sneaking around the hibiscus tree?" a woman's voice came.

She was wearing a flowing green thin dress, her pupils were like emerald green, and a few hibiscus leaves were entwined in her long hair.

She was holding a long stick, and if Xu Yeyu guessed correctly, the stick was her weapon.

No wonder Elder Lin said that all the disciples who went to the Fusang tree were hung up and beaten by the guardians. Beating people with sticks is indeed effective.

I just don't know if this hanging was really done by her.

"Hello, I am a disciple of Sunset Sect." Xu Yeyu greeted politely.

As long as they do not step into the territory of the Fusang tree, the guardian will not actively attack them, the disciples of the Sunset Sect.

The woman looked at Xu Yeyu carefully, her eyes full of confusion.

She hadn't seen a cultivator using the five kinds of spiritual energy to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage for many years.

She had talked to a disciple from Sunset Sect before, who said that in their world, there were no cultivators who could obtain the five kinds of spiritual energy.

"I want to take a branch of Hibiscus tree. Can you exchange it with me?" Xu Yeyu asked.

He originally wanted to fly directly to the area where the Soul-Chasing Flower was, but suddenly Xiao Lan called him to come over to the Hibiscus tree and asked if he could exchange a branch.

The woman shook her head. "I can't give you the trunk of the Fusang tree. The vitality of the Fusang tree has been greatly damaged in recent years. If you take off a branch, the Fusang tree will die soon."

If someone else had come to her to ask for hibiscus branches, she would have chased them away without explaining the matter.

But Xu Yeyu has the aura of the Earth Spirit Pearl and the Wood Spirit Pearl. The woman herself is a part of the Fusang tree, so she is naturally closer to these two auras, so she is willing to chat with Xu Yeyu more.

Every branch of Hibiscus is very important, containing the essence of life. The branches are the most important things of Hibiscus.

Xu Yeyu did not give up immediately. He generally would not refuse Xiao Lan's request.

"I wonder if there is any way to save Fuso, or what can be used to maintain Fuso's vitality?" Xu Yeyu asked.

He could see that Fuso's vitality had weakened a lot, so if there was a way to restore it, he could try it.

But if it takes too much time, he would have to give up because Xu Yeyu still had to go to the area where the Soul-Chasing Flower was.

The woman was silent for a long time. She originally wanted to refuse and ask the monk in front of her to give up.

But for some reason, she could feel a breath of life from Xu Yeyu, and she liked this breath very much.

The woman's eyes are very special. She can see the breath of life in people and objects.

Why is the life breath of a human cultivator stronger than that of the Fusang tree?

Is he a human or...

The woman pointed in a direction and said, "There is a fairy pond in the direction I pointed. If you can successfully obtain the water in the pond, I am willing to exchange it with you for a branch of the hibiscus tree."

"The Immortal Pond is quite far from here. It will take an ordinary cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage several days to get there," the woman added.

"Then I'll leave now."

Xu Yeyu turned around and prepared to leave. It would take other Foundation Establishment cultivators several days to get there because their true energy was not enough to support them to fly their swords or use body skills to travel.

His spiritual sea was very large, and he guessed that it would only take him one day to reach that place.

It is now the second day in the secret realm of Tianlai Lake, and Xu Yeyu still has enough time to find the Soul-Hunting Flower.

"There is a third-level demon beast guarding the fairy pond. It will never let you take away the pond water easily. You have to be careful." The woman reminded.

A cultivator of the second realm would generally be at a disadvantage when fighting against a demon beast of the third realm, but the woman was not too worried about his safety.

A cultivator who can use five kinds of spirit beads to break through to the second level must have a lot of good things or secrets.

"okay, I get it."

Xu Yeyu flew away on his sword, and the woman looked at his back thoughtfully.

No matter how you look at him, he looks like a human cultivator. Why does he have such a strong life aura?

......

......

The next day, early morning.

Xu Yeyu came to the location mentioned by the Fusang Guardian. The clear green water in the pool was as crystal clear as emerald, and the water exuded a breath of life.

This is the pond water that the Fuso Guardian refers to.

There was a lion lying on the ground near the pool, resting. Its fur was as black as night, its claws were flashing with cold light, and its black eyes revealed its wildness.

Mid-stage Foundation Breaking Realm, Shadow Lion.

Xia Xiaomo told Xu Yeyu that this kind of monster was called a shadow lion. She had killed three shadow lions in the foundation-building stage when she was in Baizhu County, Chiba Prefecture.

The Shadow Lion sensed the presence of a human monk, stood up from the ground and roared.

If it were any other monster, Xu Yeyu would first negotiate and exchange it for pool water.

The demon beasts in the third realm are generally intelligent and can understand human language, but the Shadow Lion will not reason with human cultivators. When encountering human cultivators, it will only want to kill them.

Xu Yeyu took out Bikong from the scabbard, he injected his true energy into the sword, and with a sway of his body holding the sword, the sword emitted a silver light, heading towards the sharp claws of the shadow lion.

Stab, this was the basic sword move that Xu Yeyu practiced on his first day.

He did not use the sword-controlling skill he was most proficient in. Holding the sword in his hand could save the use of his true energy. In the secret realm of Tianlai Lake, he had to keep his true energy from being exhausted at all times.

The sword edge collided with the sharp claw, making a crashing sound. The Shadow Lion's claw was cut off by Xu Yeyu's sword and fell into the air.

Its black eyes shrank, and it couldn't believe that this cultivator, who was at a lower level than it, could cut off its claws with one sword.

Its claws are the hardest part of its body!

Xu Yeyu slashed out several sword energies in succession, each of which was aimed directly at the Shadow Lion's vital point, tearing its fur and causing blood to spurt out.

The Shadow Lion struggled to fight back, but facing Xu Yeyu's offensive, it was already in a disadvantageous situation.

Xu Yeyu went straight for the shadow lion's neck. It let out its final roar, not understanding why a human cultivator with a lower realm than it could hurt it with every sword strike.

The Shadow Lion had encountered human monks of the second realm more than once, and it won every time, either beating away or biting to pieces the monks who came here.

Finally Shadow Lion fell to the ground.
