"Won't there be any trouble?" Mu Hanyan asked.

She had been in the Continent of Gods for some time, and according to her understanding, even the twelve temples under the Temple of Life were not united, and there were also open and covert struggles. She believed that the five superior temples were no exception. This time, with the powerful masters from each temple gathered together, there might be a conflict.

"Don't worry about that. We are just gathered together temporarily. We will go our separate ways once we enter the Black Wood Prison. Just don't provoke them." Gao Weihu said.

Mu Hanyan had nothing to worry about in the first place, she was just asking casually. After hearing what Gao Weihu said, she didn't ask any further questions.

Afterwards, Gao Weihu and Su Baoer chatted about their recent situation.

"Sister Mu, Brother Weihu, are you hungry? I have some delicious food." Su Baoer said to the two of them as if she was presenting a treasure.

She had a simple and straightforward personality, without any scheming. She quickly put the matter of Yuan Xiangzhi behind her and chatted with Mu Hanyan for a while. They actually got along very well, and their address became more affectionate.

"What delicious food? Bring it out for us to try." Mu Hanyan said generously without feeling awkward. When she was with Su Baoer, Mu Hanyan always unconsciously recalled the sisterhood she had with Yi Qinglian and Xier, and felt particularly close to them.

"Okay." Su Baoer took out a large pile of various dried meats and said proudly, "This is the secret snow deer dried meat made by Shixiangfang. It is made from the most essence of the snow deer tenderloin and is refined with the craftsmanship passed down from Shixiang's ancestors. This is Qianweiju's fruit charcoal flower-scented rabbit. Don't underestimate the flower-scented rabbit. It is completely different from ordinary rabbits. It is said to feed on various flower petals and has a unique floral fragrance on its body. It is a unique beast in the jurisdiction of our Holy Temple of Light. Qianweiju uses charcoal made from various fruit cores and peels to roast the flower-scented rabbit. It is even more delicious. Ordinary people can't eat it..."

Su Baoer pointed at the pile of various dried meats and meat jerky, and she knew them all by heart, but Mu Hanyan was stunned.

It had to be said that Su Bao's delicacies were both delicious and mouthwatering, and her descriptions of their provenance made them incredibly appetizing. However, the problem was that among the dozens of varieties of dried meats and preservatives, there wasn't a single vegetarian pastry. This reminded Mu Hanyan of someone: Ling Baobao! He was also a meat-loving foodie.

"Master Priest, what's wrong?" Su Baoer asked when she saw Mu Hanyan's surprised look.

"It's all meat, don't you want to order anything else?" Mu Hanyan asked.

"Well, I only like to eat meat." Su Baoer said a little embarrassedly.

Mu Hanyan looked at the little piglet still nudging against Su Baoer's chest, and suddenly understood why she had grown so well. It was true that you are what you eat.

"Sister Mu, Brother Weihu, don't be polite, just eat." Su Baoer grabbed the dried meat and stuffed it into the hands of Mu Hanyan and the others.

"Well, I won't be polite." Gao Weihu's appetite had already been aroused by the sight of this pile of dried meat and jerky. He took the dried meat and began to devour it voraciously.

At the beginning, he was still somewhat reserved, but later on, his eyes widened and a fierce look appeared in his eyes. He swept the meat away in one swift move, and 80% of the meat was eaten by him alone.

Even Mu Hanyan felt embarrassed by the way he ate.

"I'm sorry, it's really a delicacy. I couldn't stop eating it." Finally realizing his own gaffe, Gao Weihu stopped and said embarrassedly while stroking his belly.

"It's okay, I still have a lot." Su Baoer took out another pile of dried meat.

Looking at Gao Weihu's horrible eating habits, there was no surprise or contempt in her bright eyes. Instead, she smiled like a crescent moon, full of sweetness and joy.

Mu Hanyan looked at Gao Weihu's fat face and body, and then looked at the little piglet that Su Baoer was holding in her arms and was reluctant to let go. She seemed to understand why she was so devoted to Liuguang.

It's true that everyone has their own preferences. It turns out that Miss Su likes foodies like this. Of course, it's normal. Isn't Miss Su a foodie herself, and an excellent foodie who loves meat but not vegetables?

Perhaps influenced by Gao Weihu, Miss Mu's appetite was greatly increased. She ate a lot of dried meat and only stopped when her stomach was full.

There was still a short distance to the Black Wood Prison, and Mu Hanyan and the others were unwilling to waste time. After eating the dried meat, they started practicing on their own.

Streams of spiritual energy and vigor flowed through the meridians and hidden veins, then converged and merged through the Ancient Tree of Life. Mu Hanyan's brows gradually furrowed.

Although the Ancient Tree of Life was not completely dead, its rapid withering still had a great impact on her cultivation. She no longer had the smooth feeling of cultivation as before, and her cultivation speed was several times slower than before.

Concentrating and looking inward, Mu Hanyan discovered that the interior of the ancient tree of life was like a meridian blocked after a serious injury. Whether it was energy or spiritual power, the flow through it would be greatly hindered.

Mu Hanyan circulated her spiritual energy over and over again, trying to force it through, but no matter how hard she tried, the veins inside the Ancient Tree of Life did not change at all.

Judging from this situation, although the Ancient Tree of Life is still alive and can help improve her combat power to some extent, its help for cultivation is minimal.

"This is a bit troublesome." Mu Hanyan's heart sank gradually.

From the very beginning of her cultivation, she knew that her physique was different from others. Although at the same level of cultivation, her actual combat power far exceeded that of others, but every time she broke through the bottleneck, she needed several times or even dozens of times more energy than others.

After arriving at the Continent of Gods, although her cultivation speed was extremely fast in the early stage, Mu Hanyan knew that it was mostly due to the Xuanhuang Stone. The last Xuanhuang Qi of the Xuanhuang Stone would eventually be exhausted. She believed that in the later stages, her cultivation speed would still slow down, and every breakthrough would still be full of difficulties.

If one wants to break through the cultivation limit of the sacred continent and reach the realm of the ethereal and illusory god in the legend, it must be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The appearance of the Ancient Tree of Life opened a new door to cultivation for her, but as the ancient tree withered, this door was completely closed.

Mu Hanyan tried again and again, and tried every possible method, but the ancient tree of life in her heart meridian still showed no change.

"Master Priest, we're here." Gao Jie'en's voice came from the front.

Mu Hanyan could only focus her attention and temporarily put aside the matter of the Ancient Life Tree. Regardless, the Ancient Life Tree still had some life left, so hope wasn't completely lost. Furthermore, her strength hadn't been significantly affected either, which was a blessing in disguise.

Jumping off the carriage, Mu Hanyan looked forward.
