One person said: "If I make you a holy child, will you be granted godhood through the art of Gu

Tu Wuliang looked at the happy scene around him and a hint of envy appeared in his eyes:

"With partners like these supporting you, it's no wonder you've gotten to where you are today."

"Our master once said that one person's strength is limited; only through unity and cooperation can miracles be created."

Jiang Mo nodded: "Senior Brother Tu is right. Without their support, I could never have gotten to where I am today."

Tu Wuliang smiled slightly: "Alright, now you're going to search for the wood element core, right?"

"According to the star map left by my master, the core of the wood element should be in a forest in the northeast direction."

Jiang Mo closed his eyes and focused all his energy on sensing the location of the core of the wood element.

A blurry image appeared in my mind: a dense primeval forest, towering ancient trees, and a mysterious entity exuding vitality.

"Changbai Mountain!" Jiang Mo opened his eyes. "The core of the wood element is in the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain!"

Tu Wuliang nodded: "Changbai Mountain is indeed one of the places with the richest wood element, so it's quite reasonable for Senior Sister to choose that location."

"But be careful, although your senior sister has a bad temper, she's not a bad person at heart. As long as you show enough sincerity and ability, she will recognize you."

Jiang Mo bowed to Tu Wuliang: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Tu. I will keep it in mind."

Tu Wuliang waved his hand: "No need to be so polite. We are all disciples of our master and should help each other."

"Go! May you soon gather all seven elemental cores and fulfill your master's long-cherished wish!"

Jiang Mo nodded, formed hand seals, and used the spatial teleportation technique once again.

"Let's go, to Changbai Mountain!"

The golden portal reappeared, and everyone stepped inside without hesitation.

Next target: the core of wood element in the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain!

There, they will face a test from Mu Wuhua, the second disciple of the progenitor of all poisons!

When the light from the portal faded, the group found themselves in a dense primeval forest.

Ancient trees towered all around, blocking out the sun, and the air was filled with a rich sense of vitality.

Various exotic flowers and rare herbs are scattered throughout the forest, and rare birds and animals can be seen moving about from time to time, making it seem like a secluded fairyland.

"Is this the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain?" Feng Baobao exclaimed in amazement, looking at the surrounding scenery. "It's so beautiful!"

Jiang Mo nodded and began to sense the exact location of the core of the wood element.

Unlike other places, the life force here is extremely strong, with almost every tree and every blade of grass containing powerful wood elemental energy.

"The core of the wood element is deep in the forest, but it's still quite far away." Jiang Mo frowned. "And it seems something is interfering with my senses."

The Golden Cicada looked around warily: "Lord Gu God, I sense a powerful life force approaching us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding woods began to change.

The trees, which had been still, began to move, their branches swaying and making rustling sounds.

Even more surprisingly, some trees grew human-shaped faces, looking at the crowd with curious eyes.

"These trees...have they come to life?" Wei Duoduo exclaimed in shock.

Just then, a clear female voice came from the depths of the forest:

"Oh, we have a guest!"

The sound grew louder as it approached, and soon a slender woman emerged from the woods.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a long green dress, with her hair braided with vines, and exuding a natural aura.

What's most special is that her skin has a light green hue, as vibrant as a tender leaf.

"Who are you? How did you come to my forest?" the woman asked, tilting her head curiously.

Jiang Mo stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Junior Jiang Mo has come to pay respects to Senior Mu Wuhua."

A hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes: "Oh, you know my name? Interesting!"

"But isn't it a bit too formal of you to call me 'senior'? Do I look that old?"

As she spoke, she made an angry face, but it looked more like she was being coquettish.

Jiang Mo felt somewhat helpless; Mu Wuhua's personality was indeed as strange as Tu Wuliang had described.

"Then how should I address you?"

Mu Wuhua's eyes darted around: "Just call me Sister Huahua!"

"Cough cough..." Jiang Mo almost choked on his own saliva.

This is the disciple of the progenitor of all poisons, the powerful master of the wood element, yet she insists on being called Sister Hua Hua?

But in order to obtain the wood element core, Jiang Mo still gritted his teeth and said, "Hua Hua... Sister."

"Hmm, that's more like it!" Mu Wuhua nodded in satisfaction, then a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

"But since you've come to my forest, you should at least show some respect, shouldn't you?"

"Who wants to play a little game with me?"

Feng Baobao and the others exchanged glances, all somewhat confused about Mu Wuhua's methods.

Jiang Mo stepped forward: "I'll do it. What game does Sister Hua Hua want to play?"

Mu Wuhua clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Great! Let's play hide-and-seek!"

"Hide and seek?" Jiang Mo was taken aback.

Mu Wuhua nodded: "That's right! I'm hiding in the forest; come find me."

"If you can find me within an hour, I'll give you the Wood Element Core!"

"But if we can't find it..." she chuckled, "you'll all have to stay in the forest forever and play games with me!"

Jiang Mo felt a headache coming on. Mu Wuhua seemed innocent and naive, but the conditions he proposed were anything but easy.

Finding someone in this vast forest, especially one who is the master of the wood element and can perfectly blend into the forest environment, is incredibly difficult.

But for the sake of the wood element core, Jiang Mo had no choice but to accept the challenge.

"Okay, I accept your game."

Mu Wuhua jumped up excitedly: "Great! Let the game begin!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished into the forest as if she had never existed.

Jiang Mo immediately activated his five-element perception to try and find Mu Wuhua's whereabouts.

To his surprise, the entire forest was filled with the aura of wood elements, making it impossible to pinpoint Mu Wuhua's exact location.

"This is troublesome." Jiang Mo frowned.

Feng Baobao asked worriedly, "Jiang Mo, do you need our help?"

Jiang Mo shook his head: "No, this is a game between her and me, and I must complete it alone."

"Wait for me here, I'm going to find her."

After saying that, Jiang Mo began searching for Mu Wuhua's whereabouts in the forest.

The forest was much larger than I had imagined, and the terrain was complex, with ancient trees and vines everywhere.

Even more deadly, as Jiang Mo ventured deeper into the forest, he discovered that it was constantly changing!

The original road disappeared, and a new road appeared, as if it were a living thing, recombining itself.

"This is no ordinary forest, but a wood elemental labyrinth created by Mu Wuhua using the power of the wood element!"
