After an unknown amount of time, the screams in the mountains finally disappeared.
Instead, three elusive figures darted about, dodging the bamboo whip's repeated lashes.
Seeing that there was no point in continuing the fight, Mi Li threw the bamboo whip aside, her eyes full of praise: "Not bad, not bad, you separated the third figure so quickly. I thought it would take at least ten days or half a month."
Zuan: "???"
Excuse me!
So you didn't think you could learn it so quickly from the beginning, so you wanted to beat me for ten days or half a month straight?
Seeing his angry expression, Mi Li realized she had let something slip and said somewhat guiltily, "If I hadn't done it this way, could you have developed a third form so quickly?"
Zuan thought about it and agreed; at least the result was good, even though he was in a lot of pain all over his body.
Just then, Mi Li added, "Besides, isn't your 'Phoenix Nirvana Sutra' all about improving your skills by getting beaten up? I'm just helping you out."
Zuan said sullenly, "Well, thank you very much."
He thought to himself that he would definitely find a time in the future to pin this woman down and give her a good beating.
Mi Li coughed lightly and said, "By the way, there's something else I need to tell you. You can't rely on just taking beatings to cultivate this technique. You can find some spirit stones to help you with your cultivation."
Zuan shook his head: "No, I've tried before, and I can't absorb the energy from the spirit stone."
"Can't absorb it?" Mi Li frowned. "That might be because the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture has a special cultivation method. You can try to find some rare and precious treasures to take, as well as some Yuan Qi Pills refined by alchemy masters. I've heard of some cultivation methods that can't directly absorb Yuan Stones, but I've never heard of anyone who can't absorb Yuan Qi Pills or rare and precious treasures."
Zu An's eyes lit up. That's right, wasn't the Yuan Qi Fruit he extracted from the system also a kind of alternative Yuan Qi Pill? Why didn't he think of this?
When we get back, we should ask Ji Dengtu. He's a legendary healer, so he should have quite a few of these pills.
At this moment, Mi Li said, "I came out this time to help you seal Old Man Mi's cultivation. The effort I put into expelling the poison a while ago has been wiped out, and I have to start all over again. Hmph, I wonder if I owed you something in my past life! I'm going to go into slumber again. Be careful in the future."
Even though he knew that her help was largely due to their intertwined fates, Zu'an couldn't help but feel moved: "Empress, you've always been the one helping me. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"You'll help me?" Mi Li snorted arrogantly. "No need."
As her soul faded and was about to disappear, her form solidified again: "Although I don't think your current abilities can help me, I've discovered your amazing luck while we've been together. Maybe you really can play a role."
"If you have the chance, please help me find 'Heavenly Water,' 'Chanwei Jade Marrow,' and 'Eternal Spring Five-Colored Flower.' In the future, after I completely refine the poison of 'Xiangfei Red Tears,' I will need to reshape my body, and these are essential materials."
Zuan was overjoyed: "These three materials are enough to help you reshape your physical body?"
Mi Li sneered repeatedly: "Only three kinds? Do you know how rare these three things are!"
"Take the 'Evergreen Five-Colored Flower' for example. First, you have to find an extremely rare Evergreen Five-Colored Tree with leaves like lotus flowers. In spring, it produces green flowers that fall at the end of spring; in summer, it produces red flowers that wither at the end of summer; in autumn, it produces white flowers that wither at the end of autumn; and in winter, it produces purple flowers that fade when it snows."
Zuan was taken aback: "Isn't this just four colors? Why is it called a five-colored flower?"
"I don't know either," Mi Li said dejectedly.
"You don't know either?" Zuan was dumbfounded. What a joke! This is the thing you specifically asked for.
Mi Li was somewhat embarrassed: "Because I have never seen this kind of sacred tree before, I have only read its legend in an ancient book."
Zuan: "..."
You must know that in her previous life, Mi Li was the Empress of Qin, and all the land under heaven belonged to the king. Even she had never seen such a tree before, so it was uncertain whether it even existed, let alone that she had found it.
"Since you've never seen this tree before, how do you know its flowers can reshape your body?" Zuan asked curiously.
Mi Li snorted: "That's none of your business. I just know it anyway."
Zuan scoffed. Women just love to act mysterious.
Mi Li sighed softly: "'Heavenly Water' and 'Chanwei Jade Marrow' are both legendary items. In order to find them, in addition to the required strength, one must also have great fortune and luck. Moreover, besides these three treasures, there is another thing that is even more difficult to find, so let's leave it to fate."
Zuan asked, "There's something else? What is it?"
“With your current strength, telling you won’t make a difference.” Mi Li shook her head.
Zuan: "..."
Sensing the dejection in her voice, he couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. These things may be difficult for others, but they are definitely not a problem for me. I will definitely find them for you."
Hearing the confidence in his tone, Mi Li was startled: "Could it be that you have heard of or know the whereabouts of these things before?"
Zuan shook his head: "Never heard of it."
Mi Li laughed angrily: "Then where do you get your confidence from!"
Anger from Mi Li +250!
Zuan patted his chest: "Because I'm the protagonist, naturally I'm the chosen one!"
The protagonists of those novels I read in my past life all thrived after transmigrating to another world, so I can't be any less successful.
