Ruoruo transformed into human form and took out her mission jade slip: "Collect the spiritual herbs listed on the mission sheet, one hundred varieties in total, ten of each variety."
The little snow leopard Rongbao's task is to collect twenty of each of the fifty types of ore listed on the task sheet.
The little red fox Yue Rou was on the same mission as Ruo Ruo.
The two quiet, well-behaved, and obedient bear cubs were assigned the same task as the snow leopard cub.
Only the little white tiger Mo Xuanshuang said: "Collect ten drops of blood from each of the ten wild beasts listed on the task list."
Rong Bao immediately became excited: "You've got the best mission! We can go kill wild beasts."
Mo Yunlan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Mo Xuanshuang, let Ruoruo draw the lot for you next time. You always manage to get the one and only most difficult task."
It's always the same kind of mission, and we can't really let these little brats who are only at the Celestial level do it, so he always ends up being the henchman.
"Hmph, so what? Can't you even beat a wild beast?" Mo Xuanshuang said confidently.
Mo Yunlan punched him on the head: "Just because you can't beat him doesn't mean you want to fight. Can't you just easily find some things to collect and complete the mission?"
Mo Xuanshuang instantly bared her teeth, and Mo Yunlan sneered: "Take your teeth back, or I'll throw you into the yellow group and you can complete the task yourself. I'll take Ruoruo away."
"The vegetation here is lush, let's finish the task of collecting spiritual herbs first." Ruoruo pulled away the nearly enraged Mo Xuanshuang, preventing a fight that was destined to end badly.
Seeing that there was no tiger left to beat, Mo Yunlan regretfully withdrew his hand.
Mo Xuanshuang watched Ruoruo diligently searching for spirit herbs, then suddenly pounced on her, snatching Ruoruo's bow from her hand with a paw: "You have a month to complete the mission, no need to rush, come play with me first!"
Ruoruo angrily transformed into a kitten and chased after him: "Fourth Brother, give me back my bow."
The other cubs immediately joined the chase, running all over the mountains and fields, completely forgetting about the mission.
Rong Qing frowned slightly, wanting to call them back.
Mo Yunlan, however, chewed on a blade of grass, lazily lay back with his hands behind his head, and looked at the white clouds drifting in the sky: "Forget it, let them play. As long as they complete the task within the specified time, that's fine."
"That's too lax," Rong Qing disapproved. "A place with such abundant spiritual energy is precisely where one should cultivate diligently."
Mo Yunlan chuckled lightly: "Cultivation? What's the use?"
Everything is predetermined at birth; this is called the natural order. Since fate is already set, why not let them live happily?
Rong Qing's hand gradually clenched into a fist: "I am sorry to say that I cannot agree with the Second Prince's point of view. Birth may determine the starting point, but it cannot determine the ending point. Everyone should do their best so as not to waste their talents."
She went and brought the mischievous little snow leopard back, then made him practice his cultivation.
The little snow leopard sighed helplessly and obediently cultivated its spiritual energy under its older sister's stern gaze.
Seeing that she had wasted so much time, Ruoruo angrily pulled out her broken wooden sword and slashed down with it: "I'm really angry!"
Mo Jinyan: "Chirp chirp chirp! Mo Xuanshuang, didn't you say you were protecting Ruoruo? Why are you bullying her?"
"This isn't fun!" The little white tiger drooped its ears and tail in frustration and returned the bow.
Ruoruo felt a pang of pity for the dejected little white tiger. She glanced at her task list and had a sudden inspiration: "Fourth Brother, if you help me find ten different kinds of spiritual herbs, Ruoruo will play with you for half a day, how about that?"
The medicines that make it onto the mission list aren't the kind that can be grown casually just because there's enough spiritual energy. Finding them can be quite troublesome and requires a lot of time.
The little white tiger stretched out its paw and bargained: "No, I have to play for at least a day!"
Ruoruo said seriously, "No, I can only find eight kinds to play with for half a day at most, otherwise I will find them myself and play by myself."
"Fine then." Mo Xuanshuang reluctantly agreed, then snatched Mo Jinyan, who was watching the show from the side, and ran off to find the spiritual medicine.
After all, he only knew the names of those spiritual herbs and knew exactly what they looked like. So, he had to bring Mo Jinyan, whose family was known as the Little Myriad Books Pavilion, along.
"Aaaaah, Mo Xuanshuang, you stupid tiger! I'll lose my spirit if I leave Ruoruo!!" Mo Jinyan shouted angrily.
In any case, Ruoruo finally had some peace and quiet. While the little white tiger went to find the spiritual herbs, she took out her alchemy furnace and began refining pills while cultivating.
Even after reaching the secret realm, she couldn't let her guard down. She had a way to save her mother, but she also needed to find a way to save her father.
Ruoruo counted on her fingers with some worry. Daddy has become smarter now. In the past six months, every time the poison flared up, he had Lingxi completely block his Ziwei Immortal Pavilion.
She never managed to get in.
I don't know what symptoms my father has or how to treat them.
Ruoruo Cat studied alchemy for a year, but still hadn't come across a pill that matched her father's symptoms.
Ultimately, it comes down to her current lack of strength.
"I wish I could grow a few more tails," Ruoruo said worriedly.
She didn't notice that the small wooden sword next to her trembled, and the tender buds on the hilt became even more vibrant and lush.
Once a batch of pills was refined, Ruoruo carefully packed the pills aside and did not immediately store them in her spatial storage.
She was used to counting how many pills she had refined after finishing a training session.
Two vines suddenly sprouted from the bud on the hilt of the small wooden sword, quietly slipped into the box containing the pills, grabbed a pill, and then quietly brought it back to the bud.
Two tender leaves of the bud embraced the pill. The wood grain on the sword seemed to breathe and rise and fall twice, as if it were alive. Then the pill grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared into the bud.
The wooden sword returned to its calm state, as if nothing had happened.
After Ruoruo finished refining another batch of pills and put them aside, the little wooden sword quietly began to repeat its previous actions.
While supervising her younger brother's cultivation, Rong Qing watched as Ruoruo skillfully and quickly produced batch after batch of pills.
Not only did she show some affection, but the little prince was also highly talented and diligent, much more obedient than her younger brother who would play and slack off if she wasn't watching him.
At the same time, she glanced at Mo Yunlan, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, seemingly bathed in the warm sunlight, and wondered if the two of them had switched siblings.
Such a lovely girl, how could she have such an unreliable older brother?
They were engaged in various activities: some were practicing cultivation, some were resting, and some were doing tasks. They got along very well.
No one noticed that several translucent, elusive butterflies had quietly landed at the edge of the woods.
Meanwhile, Zi Manqing, who had just stepped out of the Secret Realm Canyon, received a message from the Mysterious Butterfly and her smile was full of anticipation.
"Go and meet up with Ming Mengyao. Tell her we've found her. Lin Ye, contact all the demons and, on my orders, surround and kill Yan Ruoruo."
"Yes!" Before leaving, Lin Ye anxiously instructed Zi Manqing, "Your Highness must not act rashly. Wait for me to return."
Zi Manqing snorted coldly: "This princess will naturally wait until everything is foolproof before making a move. I will never be toyed with and bullied by them again like last time."
This time, she's here for revenge.
