Su Qing looked at the sign in her hand, unsure whether to keep it or throw it away; she was at a loss.

Who gives things away like that?

He would run away as soon as he lost it, as if he was afraid of having to return it to him.

And this sign... who designed it? The red and green color combination is so 'unique'!

“Master, this old man is so strange. He insists that you become his apprentice.”

This was the first time Bai Ling had ever met such a strange person.

Su Qing looked at the wooden plaque in her hand: Spirit Warrior Academy?

If we make it into the top ten in the competition a month from now, wouldn't we have a chance to enter the Spirit Master Academy?

Is this old man an alchemist from the Spiritual Academy? He can make such a big promise so casually.

She wanted to go and see for herself, but of course she would get in based on her own merit; she wasn't one to get in through connections.

He tossed the wooden plaque into a corner of the room and stopped thinking about it; after all, the competition wasn't until a month later.

Su Qing calculated the time and found that the last ingredient in the Cleansing Tendon Pill—South Star Seed—was almost ready to mature.

There was no greater danger in the central area, so I began searching for Nan Xingzi, as the time for my appointment with Lord Shi was fast approaching.

This was obtained in exchange for the Frost Sword, and since I had already agreed, I was about to send the pills to the Cloud Heaven Auction House.

There are only seven days left in the month-long period, so we need to hurry.

After cleaning up the barbecue area, Su Qing followed the description of the growth environment and habits of Nanxingzi in the "Medical Classic" and came to the edge of a cliff on the south side of Biluo Forest.

The main reason is that I seemed to have seen similar medicinal herbs growing here before, so this time I came directly to the destination, which reduced the time spent searching on several mountains.

Upon arriving at this place, there really was a South Star plant halfway up the cliff, which was already half-ripe.

She originally thought that Nanxingzi was still in the bud stage and planned to pick it and plant it in her space to accelerate its growth.

Unexpectedly, the rainy season started a few days earlier this year, which means winter is coming earlier than usual.

"Master, be careful."

Bai Ling looked down into the abyss below the cliff and gave instructions to Su Qing, who was climbing on the cliff face.

The bottom of the cliff was extremely deep, and there was a layer of white mist below.

We couldn't see anything below, and we had no idea how deep it was.

I have no idea what's going on down there; I threw a stone down and didn't even hear it hit the ground.

Therefore, we must be very careful!

Bai Ling stood on top, watching Su Qing. If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't hold onto such a big rope, it wouldn't have been just a fox watching from above; it would have definitely gone down with Su Qing.

To avoid worrying about his master so much.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Su Qing looked up at Bai Ling, telling her not to worry about her.

Then, grasping the rope with both hands, he slowly lowered himself down little by little.

There were very few footholds on this steep cliff, and sharp rocks protruded everywhere.

If you're not careful, you can get scratched.

Also be careful not to let the rope rest against sharp rocks, lest the rope be worn out.

Moreover, the Arisaema heterophyllum grows halfway up the mountain, so one must be very careful with every step.

Fortunately, there was a place to stand near the elixir.

Once she was about three meters away from Nan Xingzi, Su Qing became extremely alert.

Nanxingzi is usually surrounded by spirit beasts that guard it, because it emits a scent that spirit beasts particularly like.

"I wonder where Nanxingzi's guardian spirit beast is."

Su Qing looked around carefully and didn't see any trace of spirit beasts nearby.

"Nanxingzi, I'm here."

She was overjoyed, knowing that only this one last medicinal ingredient was needed to complete the Cleansing Tendon Pill.

She stood steadily on the more spacious rock, holding the rope with her left hand and reaching out with her right to pick the medicinal herb.

Squeak!

"Master, a spirit beast has arrived!"

Bai Ling immediately tensed up when she saw a black dot approaching them at an extremely fast speed in the distance.

So fast, in the blink of an eye, the black dot was above Bai Ling and Su Qing.

Just as we were about to meet, a cry of an eagle came from overhead.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Human, get out of my territory right now!

An eagle circled overhead, emitting an angry cry.

With a spirit sheep in its mouth, it dropped it into the air and swooped down towards Su Qing with its wings spread.

It had just gone out to find food when someone came to steal its treasure?

It was furious. For the past few days, people had been trying to steal its fruit, and it had been guarding it for days.

It finally found no one around and went out to forage for food, but before it could even eat, people came again.

It became ferocious, opening its sharp beak and claws to grab at Su Qing.

Seeing the fierce approach of the Fiery Eagle, Su Qing immediately reached out and pulled Nan Xingzi up, throwing her into her spatial storage.

"Chirp!"

Stop it!!!

Seeing that Su Qing not only didn't leave, but also made the elixir disappear?

The fruit it had painstakingly protected was so blatantly destroyed by the humans right before its eyes.

The moment Su Qing grabbed the rope and dodged, the Fiery Eagle lunged at the spot where she had just been standing.

The force was so great that it made a piercing sound, and three-finger-deep scratches appeared on the stone.

Taking advantage of the opening, Su Qing immediately grabbed the rope, pushed off with her feet, and used her spiritual power to quickly climb up with both hands.

"Chirp!"

The attack missed, and the Firehawk was propelled forward slightly by inertia.

After quickly adjusting, it spread its wings and continued to reach for Su Qing's back.

"Big bird, look at my stone."

Seeing that the big bird was about to attack its master again, Bai Ling threw down egg-sized pebbles from beside it to hit it.

Although it didn't hit Su Qing, it still delayed the Firehawk's attack on her for a while.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Fiery Eagle was using its momentum and Bai Ling was blocking her way, Su Qing had already covered more than half the distance.

He dodged left and right, avoiding the stones thrown by Bai Ling, his eyes still fierce as he aimed straight for Su Qing's back.

Hearing the noise, Su Qing realized that she could no longer climb.

"boom."

He grabbed the rope with his left hand, placed his feet on a rock as a foothold, and used his right hand to unleash a series of fiery punches.

It aimed straight at the Firehawk's head.

"Chirp!"

Give me back my fruit!

It also tilted its head and spun around, nimbly dodging Su Qing's attack, while its sharp claws gradually approached Su Qing.

"Bang."

Su Qing held the Frost Sword in her right hand, blocking in front of her.

The Fiery Eagle's talons gripped it, making a sharp sound.

At the same time, when Su Qing blocked its claws, it immediately bent down and pecked at Su Qing with its sharp beak.

"Wow~"

Su Qing immediately released her left hand, allowing her body to fall downwards, thus dodging the Firehawk's sharp beak attack.

The Firehawk hadn't expected the human in front of it to be so slippery, able to dodge its attacks so nimbly on the cliff.
