Everyone was locked in their own rooms, still bound by the ropes.

Jiang Niannian sat on the bed and looked around.

The room is simply furnished yet gorgeous.

The room is round, and the walls are covered with green vines.

The benches and the floor were covered with precious animal skins, as soft to the touch as the most expensive carpet.

It seems that Ye Linyuan is quite particular about his appearance.

However, what Jiang Niannian didn't know was that, except for her and Tang Murou's room, all the other cultivators were locked in a room that looked more like a cell than a room.

There was a spider web between the railings that was probably several decades old. The room was long and narrow, and was often shrouded in darkness. There were few furnishings in the room, just a bed and an old wooden cabinet.

As she looked, she walked to a wall as if possessed by a spirit and stepped on the green ivy.

"Foolish mortal, how dare you step on the grass! If you step on my head today, I will grow on your grave tomorrow!"

Jiang Niannian was startled by the sudden angry child's voice. She lowered her head and glanced at the ivy in front of her. After a moment of silence, she shouted, "Cao Cao, do you dare to answer me when I call you?"

"Fuck! How can a mortal hear what Bencaocao is saying!"

Jiang Niannian looked at it and smiled: "Why not?"

"You, woman, are really strange." As he said that, a green boy walked out from the vines and looked at her carefully.

Jiang Niannian also looked at him with a clear look.

"You are looking at Ben Cao Cao like that, are you coveting my beauty? Your two-toned eyes make me uncomfortable, but I don't know why, I always feel that there is a kind smell from you, a bit like Ben Cao Cao's mother."

Jiang Niannian: “…” This level of narcissism is consistent with Ye Linyuan.

The boy walked around her three times, looked left and right, then stopped in front of her with his hands on his hips.

Jiang Niannian: "May I ask what this green kid is called?"

"You are the kid, your whole family is a kid." The boy mocked angrily, and then said: "There is a Yuanqiu Mountain, on which there is an immortal tree. Eating it will make you live longer. There is also a red spring, drinking it will make you immortal. Bencao grass is a branch of the Kunlun immortal tree that fell into the demon world. What do you think? I am shocked, right? I even gave myself a resounding name - Tengjiao!"

Jiang Niannian laughed.

Tell me, how much did the pepper instant noodles cost you? Our Laotan pickled cabbage, no, our fresh shrimp flat noodles cost ten times as much!

Teng Jiao glared at her: "Woman! Did you hear that?"

"Okay, green kid."

Fujio: “…”

"Do you want to make a bond with me?"

Jiang Niannian was puzzled: "Contract?"

Teng Jiao narrowed his eyes, sat on the bench, crossed his legs, and said profoundly while rubbing his feet: "That's right, that bastard Ye Linyuan used the evil magic of the demon clan to trap the herb grass here for many years, and absorbed my power, so he became immortal."

"I've had enough of this! Only by forming a bond with someone can I escape from here. Because you are so special, Bencao will give you a chance to form a bond. However, you have to pass my test first... You want to form a bond, right?"

Jiang Niannian said coldly: "No, I don't want to."

"Woman, you are playing hard to get!"

"I didn't..."

"Don't say anything." Teng Jiao blocked her mouth with a finger and said, "I know what you think. A mere mortal cannot resist the temptation of forming a pact with the ancient sacred tree."

The corners of Jiang Niannian's mouth twitched.

If I remember correctly, you just scratched your foot with this hand, right?

Teng Jiao stood up and snorted coldly, "Foolish mortal! Either you are stronger than me or smarter than me, otherwise why should I submit to you? Come on, let the test begin. I think I know astronomy, geography, civil and military laws, and I have established myself by this."

"First, we'll compete in knowledge. You come up with the questions. If you can answer the question about Materia Medica, you'll pass the first test."

Jiang Niannian thought for a while and walked to the table. "I have to write down the question I gave, but my hands are tied and I can't write it."

"That's easy. This bundle of magic rope is made of my vines." Teng Jiao snapped his fingers, and the vines fell off.

Jiang Niannian rubbed her sore hands from being tied up, picked up the pen on the table and started writing.

After a while, she picked up the paper and handed it to Teng Jiao: "If you can recognize all the words on it, I will admit defeat."

The paper reads:

Eat shit and eat coarse food. Eat shit and eat coarse food. Eat coarse food. Eat coarse food. Eat coarse food.

Teng Jiao held the rice paper in his hand and remained silent.

Jiang Niannian said again: "Green kid, please speak."

Fujio remained silent.

Jiang Niannian said, "As an ancient sacred tree, can it be that it can do nothing but eat shit? No way, no way."

Teng Jiao glanced at her and said, "Are you sure these words really exist and you didn't just make them up to frame me?"

Jiang Niannian said: "How could that be? For example, 齉nàng means a stuffy nose."

Teng Jiao crumpled the paper into a ball: "...Well, you're lucky. The next test is a martial arts competition."

As he spoke, he drew the jade sword from Jiang Niannian's waist, demonstrated a starting posture neatly and seriously, practicing each move one by one. His movements were precise and smooth. What he used was the famous Xuanxu sword technique in the world of immortal cultivation.

After he finished dancing, he threw the sword to Jiang Niannian, "Come on, if your unique skills can make me surrender, then the test will be passed."

"Are you sure?" Jiang Niannian held the sword and looked down at him.

"After all, Bencao is also a part of the ancient sacred tree. It will not go back on its word like you mortals!"

"Okay then."

Teng Jiao glanced at her with disdain, but suddenly his eyes widened.

Jiang Niannian pointed the long jade sword at herself and put it into her mouth little by little (this activity is extremely dangerous, Baoer should never try it if he has not received special training).

Then, Jiang Niannian pulled the sword out of her throat as if nothing had happened.

The ancestral craftsmanship cannot be lost!

I just want to ask you whether you accept it or not!

When he turned around, he saw Teng Jiao's terrified face. His legs were shaking and his voice was trembling: "Boss, you, you eat children?"

"Eat it. For a little kid like you, I usually eat one bite at a time."

"Waaaaaaaa, don't eat grass. Grass doesn't taste good. Not only does it get stuck in your teeth, it's also hard to digest!"

Jiang Niannian patted his head and said with a smile, "I'm just kidding you."

Teng Jiao wiped away his tears and said slowly, "Well, you have passed the test. Turn around. I want to hold the bond ceremony."

After saying that, he added fiercely: "Don't peek."

Jiang Niannian turned around and looked around quietly with her spiritual sense.

The boy took off his pants, talked confidently, and urinated on her with a serious look on his face.

Jiang Niannian: Alpaca.
