The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

She needs to find three materials: Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, Dragon Pattern Grass, and a substance called Mysterious Iron Nether Stone.

Dragon Pattern Grass and Dark Iron Nether Stone are relatively easy to obtain, but the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng is difficult to obtain. It is guarded by a fifth-order fire-attribute pangolin, which will spew flames if anyone gets close.

Among the major spiritual roots, fire is the most domineering. This pangolin has reached the late stage of the fifth rank, and the flames it spews are extremely intense. The several hired cultivators were forced to retreat step by step!

Pangolin scales are especially hard, making it difficult for a single person to break through their defenses.

The four fought it for a long time, and in the end, one of the cultivators had to use his natal magic weapon and have the others pour all their spiritual power into him, which barely managed to injure the pangolin's vital points. The pangolin let out a mournful cry and retreated slightly.

Another cultivator seized the opportunity to pick the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, and the group fled for their lives at top speed. Even dozens of miles away, they could still hear the pangolin's earth-shattering roar!

Once they were out of Qizhu Mountain, Chang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to the cultivator: "Give me the thing."

The cultivator took out the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng and handed it to Chang Ning, but before she could take it, he suddenly took it back. Chang Ning's face darkened: "What do you mean?"

"As you saw, if we hadn't come up with a quick thinking just now, we wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed so easily!"

The cultivator was thin, with a glint in his eyes. "Besides, my brother's magic weapon was also mostly destroyed by that pangolin."

The fight just now involved only the four of them. Chang Ning, limited by his cultivation level, watched from a distance. He was just waiting to exchange money for goods, but this person was causing trouble again.

"What exactly do you want to say? Get to the point."

The cultivator chuckled maliciously, "Then I'll be blunt. What I mean is, the price has to go up!"

The man looked her up and down. Her cultivation level wasn't high, but her clothes and magical artifacts were top-quality. She was a fat sheep.

He said, "Add another 50% to the original reward, and this Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng is yours!"

Chang Ning had already asked for double the price, and adding another 50% would make it triple. Although she was well-off, she wasn't one to be taken advantage of. "Cyclamen has already signed a contract. Are you trying to break it?"

The deed is guaranteed by Cyclamen and is binding on both parties to the transaction. No one knows who the owner of Cyclamen is, but there has never been a case of breach of contract since its establishment.

Of course, such incidents have occurred before, but those who dared to breach contracts are no longer alive.

Unexpectedly, the man laughed, "That's easy, I'll kill you, and the contract will naturally cease to exist!"

With that, he raised his hand and formed a huge palm print in the air, which swept towards Chang Ning like a tidal wave. With her cultivation level, this palm was enough to make her turn to ashes!

Chang Ning's heart pounded. As he made his move, he quickly pulled out a teleportation talisman. Just as he tore it open, the hand was already at his face. At that moment, another hand appeared from the side and casually squeezed, extinguishing the teleportation portal that had already appeared.

Chang Ning felt a chill in his heart. Before he could react, he saw the Overwhelming Seal change direction in an instant, retreating rapidly as if time were flowing backward, and striking the cultivator who had made the move!

The man's smile was still on his face when he was sent flying more than ten feet away like an arrow.

The person who made the move was actually another cultivator, and the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng had already appeared in his hand.

Chang Ning was stunned, while the remaining two cultivators already looked wary. "You're not the fourth brother!"

The cultivator examined the ginseng for a few moments, then asked, "Who is that? I don't recognize it."

"Did you kill him?"

"probably."

The two men's faces turned grim with anger. "I'll kill you to avenge my brother!"

After saying that, the two mobilized their spiritual power. Chang Ning was still thinking about where to hide when she saw that the two who were clamoring for revenge did not rush over. Instead, they fled in the opposite direction and were already dozens of miles away in no time.

Chang Ning was utterly dumbfounded. They didn't seem to be in cahoots.

The monk standing in front of her sneered, "A rabble."

He then casually tossed the ginseng into her arms and said, "Stand here and don't move."

In a flash, his figure disappeared.

Chang Ning hurriedly took the spiritual ginseng, feeling somewhat dazed for a moment. A few breaths later, the person reappeared, draped in black. Chang Ning tentatively asked, "Yun Chao?"

That face looked unfamiliar and ordinary, but that aura—that arrogant, domineering air—was incredibly familiar.

The man chuckled softly, waved his hand across his face, and his face transformed back into Yun Chao's. He lowered his head and suddenly leaned closer: "It seems that Senior Sister has feelings for me."

Chang Ning took three steps back: "How did you get here?"

To be precise, how did he infiltrate the team she hired?

Yun Chao didn't answer, but just looked at her and said, "Senior Sister, how are you going to thank me this time?"

She said calmly, "If it weren't for my junior brother's timely appearance, I would have already lost my life here."

Chang Ning felt stifled, but her tense nerves slowly relaxed. She said, "I will give you all their bounty!"

"that's it?"

Yun Chao walked over and took her hand. Chang Ning tried to shake him off but couldn't. She said angrily, "Then what else do you want? It wasn't me who asked you to save me!"

That's really heartless of me to say. Yun Chao clicked his tongue and said, "Then consider it my good deed for the day."

"Junior brother, you should go all the way and escort your senior sister back, lest she be carried away by something on the way."

After saying that, he took out the short dagger and threw it into the air, turning it into the shape of a sword. He then put his other hand around Chang Ning's waist and jumped onto the sword. Chang Ning almost fell, but he pulled her into his arms and said, "Senior sister, stand firm."

It's called a sword, but it's not as long as a sword. I don't know if he did it on purpose, but it just got a little bigger. The two of them were so crowded on it. Chang Ning had never flown on a sword before, and he felt dizzy just looking down!

She quickly looked away, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."

Her flying boat is much more comfortable than this!

"Senior sister is scared?"

"Then hold me tight."

After saying that, he grabbed her waist and turned her around. Chang Ning cried out in surprise, afraid that she would fall. But she saw that Yun Chao had already sat down cross-legged, with one hand on his knee supporting his chin. He looked up at her and said, "Senior sister, sit in my lap."

"Yun Chao!"

Just now, with his support, Chang Ning could barely stand. Now that he was sitting and Chang Ning was standing alone, with no contact between them, her heart was pounding in her chest!

Her eyes widened with fear, her upper teeth slightly showing as she bit her lower lip. She glanced at him, then quickly looked away. Yun Chao felt a tickle in his throat, and his eyes darkened.

He reached out his other hand and tugged at Chang Ning's skirt. "Senior sister, sit down and hug me."
