The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Han Cuiyin just stared silently at the ground, remaining silent for a long time.

After fiddling with the newly acquired Divine Wood, Yue Shuang happily said, "Finally, you've done something good. Once we get out, you can refine the Divine Wood into the wooden fish, and your strength will increase significantly!"

"They know each other?" Han Cuiyin didn't pay attention to what Yue Shuang said, but just stared at the two clumps on the ground. "Is this the tree spirit of this tree?"

Han Cuiyin recognized the round, transparent ball with green edges; another one was similar, except its edges glowed red.

The combination of red and green is rather comical.

These two dumplings have a slightly similar aura, but the aura of the dumpling is even stronger than that of the Wood Spirit.

“It should be!” Yue Shuang said helplessly, pointing to the True Fire of the Sun. “After you took the stone away, the little fire spat out these two things. It was afraid that you would refine these two things, so it dared to release them only after you left.”

After learning that countless people coveted the Divine Wood, Han Cuiyin went outside as soon as she got the stone to exchange it for the Divine Wood, lest things get complicated and the ancestor raise the price on the spot.

The big tree outside was just a bit more lush and taller than the other trees; from the outside, there was nothing wrong with it.

Logically speaking, this place has been isolated from the world for a long time, and the spiritual energy should have dissipated long ago. Otherwise, the jewelry set wouldn't have been drained so quickly when she first came in.

All the greenery in Yancheng now is thanks to her.

Han Cuiyin, taking something here with extreme righteousness, said, "What exactly are you two? You're from that tree on the left peak of Qing Shuang Mountain, and where did this little thing come from? If you don't explain yourselves clearly today, I'll eat you both. You're full of spiritual energy; after I eat you, I might be able to reach the Golden Core stage directly."

Before she could even scare them after she finished speaking, the two little balls huddled together and trembled.

Han Cuiyin: "......"

This little green dumpling used to run incredibly fast, so why isn't it running this time? Instead, it's started crying.

"They're both afraid of small fires," Yue Shuang explained to her, understanding her perfectly.

The sun's true fire manifested as a small arm, which slapped away the crying, huddled dumplings, sending them rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.

"Little Fire, you're so mean!"

The two little dumplings made accusations at the same time, their voices sounding very young.

Han Cuiyin simply took out a large rock and sat down to watch the show, while also pulling Yue Shuang up with her. She secretly communicated with the True Fire of the Sun:

"What are these two things that are so afraid of you? If their origin is unknown, I will not keep them by my side; I might even refine them."

The dazzling light of the sun's true fire was extinguished instantly, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

The moonlit frost and lightning provided illumination, and the true fire of the sun was preparing to leave with the two dumplings.

"You're a bad person! Don't eat us, we're very useful! You and that man were practicing dual cultivation under the tree where I was staying. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

The green dumpling clung to Han Cuiyin's skirt, looking aggrieved. "And you guys were in seclusion in the Cold Pool, it was thanks to me that you were able to have your second dual cultivation session. You took advantage of me but won't admit it and now you want to eat me!"

"You two have special constitutions that complement each other, and with the help of the starlight and moonlight, it's a natural progression," the green dumpling said seriously.

Han Cuiyin looked completely bewildered and pointed at herself, asking, "Me... cultivating with Luo Jingqian? How is that possible!"

"Dual cultivation?" Upon hearing this shocking news, Yue Shuang's lightning vanished. "I actually missed such a thing. If your master in the Immortal Realm finds out, you won't be able to keep your title as a lay disciple."

"Believe it or not!" came the voice of the green dumpling from the darkness. It had once disguised itself as an old man, and those two must have thought it was a dream.

Han Cuiyin was still confused. The booklet she gave away did contain methods of dual cultivation, but she had never learned them.

Just then, the True Fire of the Sun threw a wisp of fire at the large rock they were sitting on, and then fled with the two little ones.

"Moon Frost," Han Cuiyin said with a sneer, "Let them see what you're capable of!"

Moonfrost's lightning net first trapped the flames from the large rock, while another lightning net went towards the three little ones.

The large rock was shattered into pieces by the sun's true fire.

"This big rock is so cracked, we haven't even had a chance to explore what secrets it holds yet." Han Cuiyin said with some regret. She had thought that the big rock held some secrets, but she didn't expect it to break like this.

She had just returned here last year and cultivated on this big rock. Looking back now, she realized she had gained a lot from that experience.

She originally planned to take it back to the left peak of Qingshuang Mountain and place it under that ancient tree that had stood for a thousand years, so that she wouldn't have to think about cultivating on it anymore.

Yue Shuang acted swiftly, leaving a lightning net for her to illuminate the way, and personally went to capture the escaped Sun Fire.

This little guy hasn't been with Cuiyin for very long. Back when she first recognized him as her master, he was immediately subdued and made obedient.

Yue Shuang leaped upwards, catching the three little creatures, and threatened, "You three are really brave! Cui Yin is known as Cui Luosha. Countless demonic cultivators have died at her hands, and she has refined even more rare and precious materials. If you go along with her, that's fine, but if you go against her, she can set up a pot and cook you all in no time!"

"Waaah~ Don't eat me!" The light red dumpling's voice was trembling with tears.

"It's not impossible for us not to eat you, but you must obediently explain your origins in a while, and make sure you don't leave out any of your strengths. If Yu Cuiyin is of any use, perhaps we can keep you."

Moon Frost was a master at putting on airs; apart from the True Fire of the Sun, both of the dumplings were intimidated.

She glared at Taiyang Zhenhuo with a sidelong glance, "What a death wish, daring to attack the master."

When they returned to Han Cuiyin's side, she was picking up the stones from the ground.

The place where the large rock once stood is now littered with stones of varying sizes.

"This...is mine."

"its mine."

The two little dumplings murmured and disappeared one after the other into the tender green sprout among the pile of stones.

"What is this?" Han Cuiyin took a step back, and the pile of stones and scattered stone chips all went into the branches and leaves of the green buds.

Aside from Taiyang Zhenhuo, Han Cuiyin and Yueshuang watched this turn of events with complete bewilderment.

"Resurrect...!" As soon as Xiao Huo's voice rang out, the green sprout underwent a dramatic transformation.

The green buds faded, and the plant gradually grew taller, with more leaves appearing.

"Isn't this the vine from that painting?" Yue Shuang looked at it and finally realized what it was. "Both of these things are made of vines? And what about the red vines at the stone gate? Aren't they green vines that have turned red and are sucking blood?"

The tree's vitality began to dissipate, disappearing into the small vines.

"Let's get out of here first, this place is going to collapse." The True Fire of the Sun swept up the green sprouts on the ground and brought some soil with them, burning directly from the inside to the outside, creating a hole.

Han Cuiyin didn't have time to argue at this moment and crawled out of the hole.

The tree was now burning from the inside out, its branches and leaves completely withered and lifeless.

"So it was you who was causing trouble! Give it back." Yunxiu swung her claws, almost tearing Han Cuiyin's clothes.
