After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

While Su Luo was still pondering her next move, the other two objected.

The two were already quite bewildered when they were taken away. After they came to their senses, they heard Su Luo's words and thought they should wait for her to explain. However, Su Luo had been leading them away for so long without saying a word.

Wan Lingyue refused to leave, shaking off Su Luo's hand and furrowing her brows.

"Junior Sister Su, why did you pull us away?"

Yu Linlang also withdrew her hand, crossed her arms, and stared at Su Luo with a hostile expression.

Su Luo then came to her senses and chuckled awkwardly, "Of course, I have good news to share with you two senior sisters."

Yu Linlang looked incredulous. "Good news? We've never been close to you. Even if there's something good, it shouldn't be our turn."

Wan Lingyue nodded and stood next to Yu Linlang. The two of them stared at Su Luo with cold wariness.

Su Luo sighed.

She understood why the two of them distrusted her so much.

The sect Su Luo belongs to is called Tianyi Sect, which is one of the top sects among the four major sects. Tianyi Sect relies on a rare late-stage Nascent Soul ancestor in this world.

Even though the patriarch has been in seclusion for a century, the Tianyi Sect still has four elders and a sect leader to uphold its reputation. Among them, the Second Elder, Qingya Zi, is a worldly talent who is about to reach the Nascent Soul stage. In the cultivation world, strength is paramount, and with these people, the Tianyi Sect holds a respectable position among the four major sects.

In fact, the Tianyi Sect is not very harmonious internally.

The Second Elder, Qingya Zi, became famous at a young age. His cultivation was terrifying and he was so outstanding that he directly overshadowed the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement. The people of Tianyi Sect implicitly regarded him as the leader. Therefore, the relationship between the two elders was not harmonious, and the relationship between their disciples was naturally not very good.

It just so happens that Su Luo's master is the Second Elder Qing Ya Zi, while Wan Yu's master is the First Elder, so naturally these two people don't believe her.

Su Luo looked at the two women in front of her who were full of vigilance, took a deep breath, and smiled again, trying her best to look innocent and harmless.

Regardless, let's try the friendship card first and see how it goes.

"Senior sisters, your words are too formal. We are, after all, fellow disciples, and the bond we formed growing up together is still there. Of course, we should share good news together."

Yu Linlang: "Hehe."

Wan Lingyue: "..."

The two clearly didn't believe it, giving me a "Do you think I'm stupid?" look.

Su Luo's smile froze.

Alright, if the friendship card isn't working, then let's just be direct.

Su Luo coughed, immediately stopped laughing, glanced around, and then leaned closer to lower her voice slightly.

"I heard that the two senior sisters are looking for high-quality materials for refining weapons. I know where to find gold-devouring ants that appear alone, so I would like to ask the two senior sisters for help."

"Gold-devouring ants?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Linlang immediately lost her composure, and her voice rose considerably.

Wan Lingyue's eyes widened slightly with excitement.

Gold-devouring ants, as their name suggests, feed on metal and possess incredibly powerful devouring and destructive abilities, making them a precious material for crafting magical artifacts. However, these magical beasts usually appear in large groups, and their coordinated attacks make them extremely difficult to hunt.

If there really are individual gold-eating ants, that would be wonderful!

only……

Yu Linlang snapped out of her daze. "Is this news true? You're really willing to take us to find it?"

Su Luo nodded.

Wan Lingyue became more cautious, narrowed her eyes, and sized up Su Luo, "Since there's such a great thing, why don't you keep it all for yourself?"

Su Luo smiled wryly and spread her hands. "My two senior sisters should be able to see my strength, right? I'm only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. How could I possibly defeat a second-level high-grade spirit beast like the Gold-Eating Ant?"

Only then did the two of them react.

Yu Linlang nodded, "That's true."

Wan Lingyue was not immediately convinced and continued to ask, "Then why didn't you ask your fellow disciples for help, but instead asked two people you didn't know well?"

"As you two senior sisters just saw, I was the one who found the Spirit Enhancement Herb first, but because Junior Sister Ning needed it, my senior and junior brothers disregarded everything and forced me to give it to her. This makes me feel extremely disheartened..."

As she spoke, Su Luo lowered her head with a sorrowful expression and gave a bitter smile.

"Although I'm not particularly talented or outstanding, I grew up with them and I genuinely believe I'm sincere towards them. But what about them? They look down on me; their eyes and hearts are only on Junior Sister Ning. If I were to reveal the news about the Gold-Eating Ants, not only would they not appreciate my kindness, but they would also blame me for not speaking up sooner and for not saving me if I were in danger. Under such circumstances, how could I possibly ask them for help?"

Su Luo said that on purpose.

She knew all too well how disliked the original owner was, but when she explained the original owner's situation with a mix of truth and falsehood, and then played the victim, these two should be able to believe her.

Su Luo guessed correctly.

After listening, the two of them fell silent for a moment, and their eyes looked at Su Luo with a hint of sympathy.

They also knew something about Su Luo's situation.

Everyone knows that Su Luo was able to become a disciple of the Second Elder because of the kindness of her relatives in the mortal world. The Second Elder had been injured and stranded in a remote village in his youth, where he was rescued by Su Luo's parents. To repay this kindness and fulfill their karmic obligations, the Second Elder took her as his disciple and brought her back to the Tianyi Sect.

However, Su Luo's talent was not high. Being a disciple under the brilliant Second Elder was already enviable. After all these years, she was still the one with the worst cultivation among the three disciples, which made many outer disciples even more dissatisfied and resentful of her.

The Second Elder didn't care about this cheap disciple at all. After bringing her back, he barely cared about her. His two fellow disciples, Ye Danqing and Qin Xiu, also looked down on Su Luo and had little contact with her, maintaining a distant relationship.

No one seems to care about Su Luo anywhere.

People disliked Su Luo and dared not openly bully her, but they talked behind her back quite a bit. Occasionally, some would even be sarcastic and critical of her.

Ning Wanshuang, the Third Elder's only disciple, was exceptionally intelligent and possessed an unparalleled charm; everyone adored her. Compared to Su Luo, they were worlds apart.

but……

Although they sympathized with Su Luo, it was ultimately a matter concerning the Second Elder's disciples, and they shouldn't interfere. Now, Su Luo's explanation was impeccable, and coupled with her claim of having a way to find the Gold-Eating Ants, they shouldn't let such an opportunity pass them by.

So, Yu Linlang glanced at Wan Lingyue, and the two looked at each other and nodded.

Wan Lingyue cleared her throat. "Ahem... Alright, Junior Sister Su, we understand your predicament. Don't overthink it."

Yu Linlang nodded in agreement, "If you can really find the gold-eating ant, we can cooperate and catch it together."

Upon hearing this, Su Luo curled the corner of her lips in a corner where no one was paying attention.

Then, she raised her head and gave a "resilient" smile. "Okay, thank you both, senior sisters. If we really catch the Gold-Eating Ants, you two can take what you need first, and leave the rest for me."

No matter how much Yu Linlang wanted the refining materials, she wouldn't bully others like this, so she shook her head.

"We can split it equally among the three of us."

Wan Lingyue nodded, "Yes, we can split it equally."

Su Luo didn't insist, "Okay."

After reaching an agreement, the three immediately found an open space to sit down and began to discuss how to hunt down the gold-eating ants.

After discussing it, Wan Lingyue took out a compass and began to study it, while Yu Linlang also bent down and busied herself wiping her weapon.

While the other two were preparing to fight, Su Luo took out some talisman paper from her storage bag and drew a few simple talismans.

She was drawing so fast that the other two didn't even notice.

Unbeknownst to them, a yellow cloud-winged bird was perched in a tree not far away.

This cloud-winged bird is very small, about the size of a child's palm, and it hides deep in the dense foliage, making no sound and easily going unnoticed.

The cloud-winged bird stared at the three people not far away for a long time. After a while, it turned its head with a kind of intelligence, and then its eyes gleamed with an eerie red light...

After getting ready, Su Luo led the two of them in a random direction. At this moment, all three of them were holding treasures in their hands and were on high alert.

In fact, Su Luo didn't know from which direction the Gold-Eating Ants would emerge, but she knew that the original owner's dead end was inevitable. Even if she just wandered around, the Gold-Eating Ants would definitely appear.

Sure enough, they hadn't walked far when the grass behind them rustled, and at the same time they heard the distinctive sound of the gold-eating ants.

Yu Linlang and Wan Lingyue were startled and immediately turned around, exclaiming, "They're here!"

Su Luo also turned around, holding a sword in her right hand and an explosive talisman under her left sleeve, ready to deal with the situation.

The next moment, the grass was crushed by a heavy object, and a giant ant with a metallic sheen rushed out, hissing.

And the direction it rushed towards was precisely Su Luo's direction!

Su Luo's pupils contracted.

They really came for her! This damned Heavenly Law!

Wan Lingyue immediately said, "Proceed according to plan! I'll set up the formation and maintain it! Linlang, you go and handle this, and Junior Sister Su will assist you from behind!"

"Yes!"

"understood!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Lingyue quickly took out an ancient compass, muttered some incantations, and then the compass emitted light, which spread out from the three of them to form a large defensive formation.

Yu Linlang narrowed her eyes, cracked her whip, and charged forward. She then engaged in a fierce battle with the gold-devouring ants, her red whip striking them repeatedly.

The gold-eating ant's exoskeleton is very sturdy, and each time a whip strikes it, it makes a "sizzling" sound.

Su Luo, wielding her sword, seized every opportunity to attack the gold-devouring ants' eyes and soft abdominal areas.

The gold-eating ant, blinded by the thorns in one eye, roared in pain and wildly waved its antennae, filled with resentment.

This woman has no sportsmanship! She actually launched a sneak attack!
