Fairy bestows immortality

Su Yun had already tethered the white horse to the spot, but the road was too rugged to proceed any further.

This time, he deliberately found a relatively secluded cave and, after discovering no signs of ferocious beasts living there, he tied it up.

"Don't let them eat this time."

He didn't tie it too tightly, fearing that, like last time, the white horse beast would be eaten by the other ferocious beasts. If all else failed, it could break free and escape on its own.

After all, this white horse beast was only at the fifth level of the Qi Sea realm, and its combat strength was extremely weak.

After leaving the cave, they finally found Xiangwu by a small river a few kilometers away.

However, Xiangwu was squatting on the ground with a barbecue grill in front of him.

A large fish, freshly caught from the river, is being grilled over a fire.

"what's the situation?"

Su Yun was a little puzzled. Wasn't he tracking the Blood Magnolia?

Upon seeing Su Yun arrive, Xiang Wu immediately smiled and said, "Young friend Su has arrived?"

"Perfect timing, the fish is halfway cooked, it'll be ready to eat soon."

"It's rare to find such a large carp in this river, which is actually from the first layer of the Qi Sea. It must taste delicious."

Su Yun frowned and stepped forward.

"You've already obtained the Blood Magnolia?"

Xiangwu shook his head and said, "No, that's not the case."

"The Blood Magnolia is too cunning. It can actually use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows it to move underground). I've been tracking it for a long time, but I haven't been able to catch up."

"Are you sure you're chasing a Blood Magnolia? How can a spirit-grade herb be running around everywhere, even using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or magic)?"

Su Yun is now highly suspicious.

Xiangwu said, "Of course, I can guarantee that I won't make a mistake."

"However, the reason why the Blood Magnolia can run away is because a ferocious beast is interfering."

"This ferocious beast runs incredibly fast and can even burrow underground. It can fly by dragging the roots of the Blood Jade Orchid underground."

"If I hadn't been so observant, I would have really thought that the Blood Magnolia had attained enlightenment and could escape with its own consciousness."

Su Yun suddenly realized that this made sense.

He pressed further, "Then did you figure out what kind of ferocious beast it was?"

Xiangwu shook his head and said, "Not yet, but it could be a pangolin, hedgehog, or rodent. But its strength is definitely not very high; it's just very good at running away."

"I tracked it for a whole day, and my spiritual energy was completely exhausted, but I still didn't get it, so I stopped to rest."

Su Yun frowned and said, "So you lost them?"

Xiangwu smiled and said, "That's not it. I have my own methods. I left a mark, and that ferocious beast couldn't distinguish it."

"I'm going to take a break and wait until it thinks it's really shaken off me and lowers its guard before making my move."

Su Yun countered, "Aren't you afraid the ferocious beast will devour the Blood Jade Orchid?"

Xiangwu laughed and said, "No, if it wanted to swallow it, it would have swallowed it long ago."

"I've already guessed that this guy is probably collecting spiritual herbs. He probably has a special hideout where he gathers all the spiritual herbs he's plundered in one place."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone to such lengths, pushing the elixir around everywhere."

"There are quite a few ferocious beasts with this kind of habit. I have encountered them before, and most of them are rodents."

"That's why I planted a faint mark on the Blood Magnolia, not on it. That beast shouldn't be able to detect it. We'll see if we can wipe out its entire lair then."

Hearing this, Su Yun finally understood.

"You're quite shrewd."

He grinned.

Xiangwu continued, "However, its lair may contain other ferocious beasts. These rodent-like beasts are probably gregarious."

"If we join forces, we should be able to take it down."

Xiangwu said with a smile.

Su Yun was naturally aware of this; Xiang Wu must have been afraid that he couldn't handle it alone, which was why he called him over.

Otherwise, since the two of them weren't very close, if they had resources, they wouldn't ask him to share; they would definitely enjoy them all by themselves.

He thought for a moment and said, "Now try to deduce whether the mark has stopped moving."

After hearing this, Xiangwu smiled and said, "Young friend Su, don't be anxious, calm down."

"Calm down?"

"When I arrived, I encountered several cultivators from the Zen Moon Palace who were also searching for the Blood Jade Orchid. Among them were cultivators at the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm, whose auras were even comparable to those of ordinary cultivators at the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm."
