Guan Kanshu, a disciple of Cangshu Peak, stared intently at the still twisting stone snake projected on the jade token, his tone flat.
"Yes, if I were in a relatively safe place with sufficient spiritual energy and given enough time and space, I, who possess wood spiritual roots, could also stimulate the growth of plants. But in a situation like the one just now, I couldn't do it either."
An inner disciple in the crowd who also possessed wood spiritual roots slowly took over the conversation.
"Yeah, and they wouldn't think of sprinkling chili powder into the monster's body during a battle, so the speed of stimulation would definitely not be that fast." Someone else in the crowd took over.
"But... don't you find it strange?" A voice chimed in, asking in a puzzled tone, "Why does Senior Sister Yan Baibai carry chili powder with her?"
Then there was a silence, because they really couldn't figure out the problem.
Time goes back, just when Yan Baibai felt that he was shrouded by a huge shadow, Yan Baibai originally wanted to pinch his fingers to resist, but in the end he immediately drew out a "Drilling Talisman" and used the force of the shadow to drill into the ground.
As she burrowed into the ground, Yan Baibai immediately curled up her body, and the thousands of flowers and leaves on her wrists immediately formed a barrier around her. This allowed Yan Baibai to safely activate the chili powder she had previously sprinkled into the stone snake's body. The chili powder contained chili seeds!
After feeling that things above had quieted down, Yan Baibai finally broke out of the ground with confidence.
Yan Baibai came out of the soil, but did not dare to stay on the ground for too long. He flew directly into the air. Then, a long object with pepper trees growing all over its body appeared in Yan Baibai's eyes.
Yan Baibai quickly made a hand gesture, and the chili tree below began to grow wildly again, finally covering the entire body of the snake. Soon after, the sound of rocks breaking and collapsing could be heard.
It was the growth of the chili tree's roots that completely disintegrated the stone snake's body, and finally disintegrated its entire body.
Yan Baibai did not stop urging the peppers to grow. Soon, the green leaves of the pepper tree quickly withered and turned yellow, and soon dried up and died.
Only then did Yan Baibai completely relax her tense nerves. She immediately summoned her life sword, and then swung it at the fragments of the stone snake's body below. The sharp sword energy slashed down, instantly stirring up a large cloud of dust below.
When the dust settled, a small gully appeared on the ground. The body of the stone snake could no longer be seen, and it was only shattered into pieces.
The audience outside the jade projection was confused by Yan Baibai's action again, and the noisy crowd began to quiet down again.
"What is she doing?" someone asked weakly.
"This is called cutting the grass at its roots. After all, it is an unfamiliar monster." A cultivator came to his senses, put away the expression on his face, and answered.
In the Yanjian Sect Square, everyone burst into exclamations again.
"Senior Sister Yan Baibai is so steady and gives me a sense of security!" I don't know which fan girl screamed.
"How can I put it..." Several people on the direct disciple's side said in surprise: "What's the point of this?"
"Hmph, I'll save my face." Liu Chudan closed his mouth, which was open in surprise, and then raised a thumbs up and said, "She's really worthy of it!"
Except for the elders in the Five Finger Mountain Hall, everyone thought that Yan Baibai's action this time was a cautious act. However, the jade plaque projection on the elders' side was more comprehensive than other places, and the extra perspective made them realize that Yan Baibai saved her life because of his caution this time.
In the main hall of Wuzhi Mountain, the elders saw that after the stone snake fell down and died, its eyes began to turn red and then became swollen. The elders who had a lot of experience in fighting monsters knew that after some monsters lost their breath, a certain part of their body would explode.
However, there are only a few monsters with this ability. In addition, after fighting with cultivators and monsters for so long, their minds are exhausted. Therefore, many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation have died in this situation. So if Yan Baibai had not flown into the air and struck the stone snake's corpse with that sword, whether it would be life-threatening is another matter, but there would definitely be damage.
"Brother Lejian, your disciple is also..." Li Tie paused, then continued: "She is really mature in her actions. How old is she?"
"Brother Li, you are too kind. She is less than a hundred. She is indeed a more outstanding disciple of our Yanjian Sect this year. I am sorry to have embarrassed everyone." Le Jiandaojun looked at the faces of the elders present one by one. He was proud in his heart, but he had to keep a guilty look on his face.
"Yanjian Sect is well prepared for this competition," said Wu Changdao, an elder of the Tiandao Sect who had won first place in the previous competition. With a hint of sarcasm in his tone, he said, "It seems Yanjian Sect won't be taking second place this time."
"Hey, Elder Wu, anyone else can say this, but it's not appropriate for your Tiandao Sect to say it. After all, except for the last time you accidentally won first place, your Tiandao Sect has won third place in the sect competition for five consecutive times!"
Li Tie spoke in a rough voice. Seeing his sincere expression, it was obvious that he really thought so in his heart. He said this without any intention to help Yanjian Sect fight back. He might not have heard the sarcasm in Wu Changdao's words.
"Hmph, take care of your own disciples first!" Although he knew that Li Tie didn't mean to mock him, Wu Changdao was still unhappy, so he asked, "I didn't pay attention this morning. Are those disciples of your Body Refining Sect able to participate in the competition today?"
"Oh, thank you for your concern. I don't know what good medicine the King of Medicine gave them, but they are already full of life this morning." Li Tie said with a grin.
Wu Changdao felt as if he had punched cotton and instantly lost the desire to continue speaking.
Li Tie was puzzled when he saw Wu Changdao with a dark face. He didn't know why Wu Changdao got angry when they were just chatting.
