Stunningly beautiful young lady

Bai Tianba interrupted him in time. Since the girl was being so low-key and didn't seem to want to reveal her identity, he wouldn't make a fuss about it either.

He immediately led his brothers to speed back to the city to find a doctor.

After searching thoroughly in the forest and across the continent for a month without finding the elixir he needed, Murong Cheng prepared to return home.

We need to spend time traveling to other continents, otherwise the later we find it, the stronger the toxins in our bodies will become. For now, we'll leave Longying here to search.

"Blood Moon."

He sensed the fluctuations in his short sword and followed the direction of those fluctuations.

Upon arriving at this place, I witnessed the scene of that woman peeling skin and flesh with a knife.

He remained calm, but the dragon shadow behind him was a different story; its eyelids twitched incessantly.

Long Ying considered himself to have seen many fierce women, but this was the first time he had seen someone so expressionless and composed, appearing harmless on the surface.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the knife in Su Qing's hand looked strangely familiar.

Then he exclaimed in surprise:

"Master, isn't that your knife?"

What is that woman doing! She's actually using her master's knife to do this kind of thing.

I thought my master would be furious, but when I looked up, his face didn't change at all.

Isn't the master supposed to hate women the most, keeping a respectful distance from them and disliking anyone touching his things? But why does the master not seem angry at all right now?

"Ah."

Long Ying was dumbfounded. His master only replied with an "hmm." Was he angry or not?

Murong Cheng watched quietly as Su Qing did everything, from beginning to end.

"Master, what's next?"

Seeing that Su Qing had left, Long Ying's gaze drifted into the distance, as if he were deep in thought.

"Take the knife and go back. You stay here."

Murong Cheng followed the route Su Qing took.

Su Qing carried Bai Ling along the familiar path and noticed the little tail following behind her, but since the other party didn't make any move, she ignored it.

After walking under a towering tree, a faint fragrance wafted into my nose, giving me a feeling of tranquility and joy.

This is the Xuyu wood, which has a unique fragrance.

"found it."

She looked up and saw a small, light chestnut-colored patch at the top of the tree, somewhat similar in color to the trunk, like a small bump protruding from the trunk.

I only noticed it when I smelled its fragrance; it's not easy to spot at a glance unless you look closely.

The *Xuyu* tree and the *Jiangshu* tree coexist, each benefiting the other. Therefore, the larger the *Jiangshu* tree grows, the better the *Xuyu* tree will grow.

"Master, I'll go get it for you."

Bai Ling volunteered to step forward, pointing her little paws towards the top of the tree.

It can't help with big things, but it can help its master with this. It's not a freeloader.

"Okay, go ahead, be careful."

Since the little guy is so eager, let him be; don't dampen his enthusiasm.

Whew whiff whiff~

Despite being only a tiny bit the size of a tree trunk, Bai Ling was quite adept at climbing trees, quickly reaching the top and the spot where the Xuyu Wood grew.

Having spotted the bottom of the Xuyu wood, it opened its two claws to pry it off, but before it could even touch it, a roar nearly deafened it.

"Woo~!"

The deafening sound made Bai Ling's fur stand on end, so she immediately jumped down from the tree and leaped onto Su Qing, who flew into the air and caught her safely.

After landing, Su Qing looked up at the top of the tree. A monkey had appeared where Bai Ling had just been, and it was pounding its chest and roaring angrily at Bai Ling and Su Qing.

When did this thing appear? There wasn't a sound at all, and I didn't even notice its presence.

It seems my perception, vigilance, and strength are all too low; I didn't even notice such a big guy was there.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!!"

"You filthy monkey, you suddenly launched an attack, I almost got caught in the act by you old bastard."

Bai Ling turned around and barked fiercely at the guy at the top of the tree.

Old man!?

The ape's anger intensified upon hearing this word. How dare these two immature creatures be so arrogant? It opened its mouth again, baring its sharp teeth, and roared at Su Qing and Bai Ling under the tree.

"Roar~woo! Roar~woo!"

The guy in front of me not only wanted to steal my Featherwood, but also called himself an old guy. How could I tolerate that?

"I'd like to take a small amount of the Featherwood, and I can trade it for something else."

Seeing the ape's violent temper, Su Qing began to negotiate with it. Primates are generally quite intelligent, and the spirit beast in front of her was of a higher level than her, so she did not act rashly.

After all, she still couldn't defeat a Spirit Master level spirit beast. This was different from the previous crocodile; this was a Spirit Master level spirit beast that was completely unharmed.

If we can exchange them, that would be best. If not, we should try to find some ourselves, since there doesn't seem to be any more Featherwood around.

Moreover, this is one of the essential spiritual medicines for refining the Cleansing Tendon Pill.

The ape understood Su Qing's words, but it was unwilling to make the exchange.

The most important thing for them, the apes, in their cultivation is the Featherwood. This tree has been guarding this place since it first started growing; it has been waiting for almost a year.

It will take another two months for them to fully mature. The juice secreted after absorbing the essence of the sun, moon, and heaven and earth will have the best effect on them. Eating it before that will not have much effect.

Nothing can compare to it, and it simply cannot agree with anything Su Qing is saying at this moment.

"Woo!"

The ape let out a furious roar, its eyes fixed on Su Qing.

"Master, this old fellow refuses!"

Bai Ling translated the meaning of "monkey" to Su Tingting.

Seeing the monkey's unyielding attitude, Su Qing had already guessed that since negotiations failed, a fight was the only option.

It's not certain who will win or lose, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a fight to determine a winner or loser. The most important thing is the 'Xuyu Wood' at the top of the tree.

Su Qing drew her Frost Sword and launched an attack.

call.

A flame erupted from the sword, striking the ape directly, but avoiding the Xuyu wood on the river tree.

Seeing the weak attack approaching, it roared and dispersed the flames.

Su Qing controlled the strength and direction of her attack, hoping to make it come down from the tree so as not to accidentally injure the Xuyu Wood during the battle.

However, the ape had no idea that the woman in front of it wanted to destroy the Xuyu Tree after failing to negotiate. So, after blocking Su Qing's attack, it used its incredibly flexible legs to leap down from the treetop and launch an attack on Su Qing.
