After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

As soon as Chu Luobai entered the blessed land, the gourd rushed up to him noisily.

He was also muttering things like, "This blessed land is going to be destroyed."

Chu Luobai reached out and hurriedly scooped the gourd into his arms, his gaze subconsciously sweeping around.

Fukuchi hasn't changed much since the last time she left.

"what happened?"

The spiritual energy within the blessed land remained stable, and it did not appear to be in the event of collapse.

Chu Luobai was completely bewildered and subconsciously looked at the gourd in his arms.

Hulu snuggled in Chu Luobai's arms for a while before finally poking its head out, its little face flushed.

"The spiritual energy within this blessed land is almost depleted!"

"The spiritual herbs I planted are almost withered and dying..."

As Hulu spoke, there was a hint of grievance in his voice.

"what?"

Chu Luobai tilted her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

After Hulu explained, Chu Luobai finally understood what was going on.

Generally speaking, blessed lands are located in a certain place, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, and condensing into the spiritual energy that sustains the blessed land.

A higher level than a blessed land is a grotto-heaven, which possesses the power of the laws of heaven and earth, forming a true small world of its own. Just like the real world, it can generate its own spiritual energy without needing to communicate with the outside world.

Although this Sword Lake Blessed Land is said to be a place of heaven and earth, it ultimately failed to take shape, and the power of the laws of heaven and earth could not be used.

Therefore, it needs to descend to the ground periodically, like an ordinary blessed land, to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.

Originally, the spiritual energy reserves within this Sword Lake Blessed Land were extremely abundant, so there was no need to frequently descend to the mortal world.

However, the previous efforts to cultivate the Dragon Essence Fruit for Chu Luobai and the subsequent planting of a large number of spiritual herbs in the gourd both consumed a great deal of spiritual energy.

Therefore, the spiritual energy within the blessed land has been almost completely depleted.

If it is not replenished in time, it may very well affect the foundation of the blessed land.

"So, it's because you've been planting too many spirit herbs lately?"

Chu Luobai keenly sensed the key point.

Hulu scratched her cheek with her fair, delicate fingers, a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, I just thought those seeds looked really good, and I couldn't resist..."

"You."

Chu Luobai was somewhat helpless, but earth spirits, being pure creatures, would spare no effort once they encountered something that interested them.

How long can the spiritual energy in this blessed land be maintained?

"If we leave it alone, it can last for another half month. But if we want to continuously irrigate the spirit herb, it can only last for three days..."

The gourd blinked innocently, its eyes clearly hoping that Chu Luobai would land in a blessed land within three days to replenish its spiritual energy.

"Three days..."

Chu Luobai lowered his eyes, pondering whether there were any places near Qiu Kingdom with abundant spiritual energy but not occupied by any sects.

After all, a blessed land absorbs the energy of heaven and earth, which will inevitably attract extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth for a certain period of time.

If discovered by other major sects, blessed lands are rare, let alone blessed lands capable of being upgraded to grotto-heavens...

It will inevitably attract countless people to fight over it, and even those so-called righteous people will be no exception.

Therefore, Chu Luobai had to find a quiet, secluded location with abundant spiritual energy.

"Gourd, if the energy of heaven and earth is abundant, how long would it take for a blessed land to descend into the mortal world?"

The gourd, who was examining the somewhat wilted spiritual herbs with a pained expression, turned around, pondered for a moment, and then answered.

"If we absorb it at full capacity, it will probably take about three days."

"Three days is enough? That's so short?"

Chu Luobai's eyes flickered slightly. She had thought it would take longer, since it needed to supply the entire blessed land.

"Of course, this is no ordinary blessed land!"

The gourd stood tall and proud, hands on its hips, looking smug.

"Three days will make things much easier."

Chu Luobai's thoughts drifted far away. He did have a good place to choose from, but...

With her current strength, she cannot enter alone, and she needs a better excuse.

"By the way, Master, this spiritual herb has matured. Although it is not very old, with the spiritual energy of our blessed land, its medicinal effects are no worse than those spiritual herbs that are hundreds of years old!"

The gourd suddenly spoke, interrupting Chu Luobai's thoughts. She pulled on Chu Luobai's sleeve and walked towards a spirit field that had already been cultivated.

The spiritual herbs in the spiritual field are basically mature, and the spiritual energy they emit is accompanied by the fragrance of herbs. One glance is enough to tell that these spiritual herbs are extraordinary.

This is much better than the spiritual herbs I cultivated in my past life, which I had to work myself to death and even get up in the middle of the night to replenish my spiritual energy.

Indeed, professional matters should be handled by professionals.

Chu Luobai couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Just as she was sighing, the gourd had already nimbly picked all the spiritual herbs from the field, sealed them with the appropriate techniques, and put them into a Qiankun bag.

Then, the gourd handed the Qiankun bag to Chu Luobai, saying with some regret.

"If we could nurture them for a little longer, the medicinal effects might be even better, but right now we don't have enough spiritual energy, so we have to sacrifice these few lowest-grade spiritual herbs."

"Are you giving me all of these spiritual herbs?"

Chu Luobai took the Qiankun bag. These were all things that the gourd had painstakingly raised. She had originally thought that the gourd would keep some of them.

"Of course, these, these, and those..."

Hulu pointed to the dozen or so herb gardens she had cultivated and said.

"Once these spiritual herbs are all properly cultivated, Master's strength will increase significantly!"

Chu Luobai glanced at the spiritual herbs that were slowly growing by absorbing spiritual energy and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This was the first time she had ever felt that having too many medicinal herbs was a problem.

"By the way, Master, the Crimson Flame Tree saplings you gave me before should also be planted after the spiritual energy is replenished."

"Once I plant the Crimson Flame Tree next to the Seven Returns Spring, it will definitely enhance the spring's effects, and the master's cultivation speed will also be greatly accelerated."

"Oh right, I also kept the red-haired rhinoceros rabbits that the master sent over before in the Seven Returns Spring area."

"Based on their habits, they will give birth to their first litter of offspring soon!"

"The owner can taste these rabbits then, and their fur is quite nice too."

Once the topic of spiritual herbs and plants comes up, Hulu can't stop talking about them.

Chu Luobai listened from the side, and for some reason felt a warmth in her heart.

It had been so long since she had felt such unconditional care...

"Master..."

Recalling the care his master had given him when he was young, Chu Luobai couldn't help but look up in the direction of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

"Alright, thank you for taking care of the blessed land all this time. I've already chosen a location, but I still need to find someone to help me."

Chu Luobai withdrew his gaze, rubbed the gourd head a couple of times, and hurriedly left the blessed land.

Yunyin, who had been taking care of her egg and had just arrived, saw Chu Luobai's disappearing figure and couldn't help but let out a pitiful sob.

"Alright, your master will be back in two days, don't worry."

Seeing this, Hulu quickly climbed onto Yunyin's back and gently groomed its fur as if to comfort it.
