I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

Toyokawa shook his head helplessly. Since he couldn't capture them alive and pack them up, he had no choice but to dismember them into eight pieces and pack them separately.

So he extended his divine sense and carefully sensed the entire trunk of the Azure Dragon Vine from top to bottom.

Before long, an extremely powerful spiritual energy fluctuation and life force were sensed inside its main root.

Without much thought, he knew that this must be where Tengxin was.

Then, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he drew his magic sword. He then unleashed a merciless, powerful strike, cleaving directly at the surface of the main root.

Toyokawa originally thought that with his full strength, he could easily take down this frozen vine with a single sword strike.

The sword only penetrated three inches into the wood, failing to even break through the surface.

Awkward! For a moment, Toyokawa's lips twitched slightly. He suddenly felt that this Azure Dragon Vine was utterly ungrateful, showing such disrespect!

No way! Although I've always been low-key, it would be too embarrassing if I couldn't even cut off a single vine.

If this gets out, how will I, Toyokawa, save face? Where will I put my handsome face?

So he mobilized all his spiritual power, opened the acupoints around his head, and then practiced the Yin-Yang Sword Technique.

Just as he was about to strike again with his sword, a wave of divine sense suddenly entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop! I beg you to show mercy and spare me this time. I know I was wrong!"

The voice was slightly shrill, but it was clearly a female voice.

Upon hearing the telepathic message, Toyokawa stopped what he was doing.

'Oh ho, so it actually has intelligence? It was silent just now, was it just playing dead?'

Moreover, this Azure Dragon Vine seems to be quite intelligent, as it even knows to beg for mercy!

If that's the case, then we can't let you stay!

Then Toyokawa made a move to strike again, the sword pointing directly at Fujishin.

However, just as the sword was about to touch the Azure Dragon Vine, the Azure Dragon Vine's spiritual response became even more intense.

She even cried out, "Daoist, fellow Daoist, please, spare me! I truly know I was wrong!"

It was my fault; I shouldn't have killed my fellow Daoists. But I had no choice!

"If you, fellow Daoist, are willing to spare me, I am willing to acknowledge you as my master!"

"Oh? You acknowledge me as your master? But what would a human cultivator like me need a vine demon like you for!"

Besides, you are so huge and cannot leave your homeland, how can I take you with me, and what use are you to me?

"I think we should just forget about it. We can just take the core of the vine and then chop you into eight pieces. Wouldn't that be easier and less troublesome?"

Although Toyokawa said this, he actually reduced the force in his hands by about 80 or 90 percent.

And so, one sword, two swords, three swords...

Bang bang bang, several swords slashed down in succession, but not a single one broke the skin!

"Hehe, young master, hold on! You can rest assured, young master, I have been able to control myself since the time of His Majesty!"

If you find my size too large, sir, I can shrink myself. I could easily shrink myself to three feet in length.

Furthermore, if you desire the Vine Heart, and if you and I sign a master-servant contract, I will give it to you.

Moreover, I am already tens of thousands of years old, and I am only tens of thousands of years away from transforming into human form.

"At that time, I will serve you faithfully to repay your kindness in sparing my life!" Qinglong Teng said again.

In fact, it could see that Toyokawa had been persuaded and had no intention of killing it outright.

"Oh? You can control it at will? How will you live if you leave this place?"

Besides, what do you mean by "it'll only take tens of thousands of years to molt"? Is that even human language?

Oh, by the way, you really aren't human!

"Then forget it, young master. I'm afraid I won't be able to outlast this demonic vine. It's best to nip it in the bud!"

After speaking, Toyokawa once again made a gesture as if to kill the Azure Dragon Vine.

"Ah? Young master, please wait. I see that you have an outstanding appearance and unparalleled talent."

He's clearly an exceptional individual, destined to become a celestial being in the future!

A mere tens of thousands of years is but a small number to you, young master. Why should you belittle yourself?

Furthermore, my lord, you may not know this, but since the Wanzai era, I have actually become less dependent on my homeland.

So now, even if they leave their homeland, they can still survive.

Moreover, I must thank you, young master, for lifting me out of my homeland and freeing me from my dependence on it!

Besides, if I were to acknowledge you as my master, then I would certainly be your person.

If you encounter enemies in the future, my lord, I will fight for you.

In case of emergency, I can also provide my own defense to protect you, young master.

Within a hundred feet, I can absolutely guard it flawlessly.

So, sir, please have some compassion and let them go!

"If you're truly worried, young master, how about we sign a master-servant contract right now?"

The Azure Dragon Vine truly used every trick in the book to survive.

"Hmm, what you say makes some sense! Then open your mind and establish a covenant of acknowledgment."

Toyokawa stopped hesitating and decided to accept this servant as his accomplice.

Then, the Azure Dragon Vine opened its mind and actively generated a Dao Contract recognizing its master, which floated in mid-air.

After observing for a moment and confirming that there were no problems, Fengchuan activated the Mind-Connecting Divine Knot in his spiritual space.

Instantly, the Heart-Connecting Divine Knot floated into the air, and then a thread emerged, connecting to the center of the Recognition Contract.

Once the connection is complete, the silk thread immediately tightens. Then, the covenant of recognition becomes part of the spiritual connection.

At this moment, Toyokawa immediately established a close relationship with the Azure Dragon Vine, and could decide its life or death with a single word.

"Master, your subordinate thanks you for sparing my life!" Azure Dragon Vine transmitted telepathically.

"Okay, from now on I'll call you Xiaoqing! I'll remove the seal on you first!"

As Fengchuan spoke, he waved his hands repeatedly, and in a few quick movements, all the talismans on the Azure Dragon Vine's trunk were retracted.

At the same time, Toyokawa also sent a telepathic message to Xiaobing, instructing her to withdraw her freezing power.

Upon receiving the order, Xiao Bing used the grand formation to retract all the freezing power that had been released earlier.

In no time, the entire Green Dragon Vine returned to its original state.

Once the seal was broken, the Azure Dragon Vine immediately unfurled its roots and stood upright on its own.

Then, the Azure Dragon Vine began to shrink visibly, eventually shrinking into a sapling less than a foot long.

It's practically like a ginseng root.

Its roots swayed back and forth at the bottom, and in a few moments it reached Toyokawa.

"Your subordinate, Xiaoqing, greets your master!"

Even the Azure Dragon Vine bowed in greeting, making Toyokawa chuckle.

"Hehe, alright, get up!"

As he spoke, Fengchuan picked up Xiaoqing with both hands.

Only then did the Creation Spirit Cloud in Fengchuan's sea of ​​consciousness begin to move. After trembling for a moment, a wisp of Creation Qi was released.

The energy of creation flowed directly into Xiaoqing's body through the Tongxin Divine Knot.

Suddenly, Xiaoqing's body shone with a bright blue light, and then it jumped off Fengchuan's palm on its own.

It had barely landed when it reverted to its true form.

Toyokawa reacted quickly and retreated, but even so, he was almost swept away by the huge vine.

Once the Azure Dragon Vine returned to its towering form, its dragon scales rapidly spread upwards.

At the same time, the surrounding spiritual energy rushed back into its body.

Even the spirit-gathering array that Toyokawa had set up for his fellow disciples in the distance was almost destroyed.

Upon seeing this, Fengchuan moved swiftly around Xiaoqing.

Before long, a spirit-gathering array was quickly completed.

Then, he scattered hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones at various nodes of the spirit-gathering array.

Once the spirit-gathering array was activated, a torrent of spiritual energy surged violently into the Azure Dragon Vine's body.

However, the Azure Dragon Vine felt no discomfort whatsoever; on the contrary, it was thoroughly enjoying itself.

Then Toyokawa stepped aside and stood there observing for a moment.

After confirming that there were no problems, he walked towards the Frostbite Ice Seal Formation that he had set up earlier.

Arriving at the core of the formation, he put away Little Ice, then wandered around to collect the formation materials and the remaining spirit stones.

Then, Toyokawa began to look around.

This valley gave Toyokawa a rather unusual feeling.

First of all, this fog formation cannot be set up by just anyone.

Now, a green dragon vine that is tens of thousands of years old grows here.

As for other places, we haven't had time to explore them yet because of the rescue efforts.

So, Toyokawa decided to wander around and see what was going on.

However, before he could take a few steps, a sound finally came from inside the small spirit-gathering array.

Toyokawa hurried over to check the situation.

"Senior Sister, Second Sister, you're finally awake!" Feng Chuan asked with concern.

"Junior brother? What are you doing here? Be careful, there might be danger here!"

In order to recover as quickly as possible, both Murong Ziling and Huangfu Chuxia entered a deep meditative state.

Therefore, they are completely unaware of what is happening in the outside world.

"Haha, don't worry, senior sister, the danger has passed! Are either of you injured?" Fengchuan asked with a smile.

"Oh! We're all fine, even if we've had a bit of a workout."

By the way, where's Xiao Cai? How is Xiao Cai?

"If it weren't for Xiao Cai, we would all be dead here!" Murong Ziling asked.

"Senior sister, don't worry, Xiao Cai is fine."

I just gave her healing and recovery pills, and she's fine now. She just fell asleep due to exhaustion!

"So, how did you end up in this foggy formation?" Toyokawa asked curiously.

Logically speaking, given how cautious the senior sister and her group are, they shouldn't have barged in.

"Alas, it's all our fault for being greedy."

Previously, while you were holding off that group of treacherous cultivators alone, we had already escaped safely.

After receiving the communication talisman, I felt relieved.

I had planned to meet up with my fellow disciples, but we ended up on the outskirts of this misty valley.

At the time, we thought there was some strange treasure inside, which was why the place was so eerie.

Because they couldn't tell what was going on inside, and because the fog could block out divine sense, no one thought of going in.

Just as everyone was preparing to take a detour and leave, the treasure-hunting rabbit you bought suddenly went berserk and rushed straight into the fog.

Xiao Cai called out for a long time, but there was no response.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to go inside and find out what was going on.

Everyone originally thought that since the Treasure-Seeking Rabbit was acting so strangely, there must be some extraordinary treasure in this valley.

"So everyone got greedy and came in together," Murong Ziling explained.
