"The essence of wood has developed its own consciousness. Xiao Guang, do you still want to refine it?"
As Yan Ziyan finished speaking, the Immortal Vine not far away began to tremble, as if it were afraid of something. Gradually, its body began to shrink, eventually turning into a small seedling with only two leaves.
The little seedling seemed to realize the danger and turned to run away.
“No need for refining. As long as it sees the light of day again, the process of the spiritual energy recovery on Blue Star will be accelerated!” Xiao Guang said confidently.
Upon hearing these words, the little seedling suddenly stopped. It turned around and looked at Xiao Guang and Yan Ziyan with curiosity.
Then it looked at itself and seemed to understand something. Then it began to jump around happily, and its two leaves danced along with it.
"Xiao Wan, why don't you make a contract with it?" Xiao Guang suggested.
Jiang Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.
She gently stroked the seedling's leaves, feeling its vitality. The seedling cooperated, actively connecting its breath with Wanwan. Soon, a special bond was established between them.
“I’ll call you Little Fairy! From now on, we’ll be companions walking side by side!” Jiang Wanwan said happily, then gently scratched Little Fairy’s leaves.
Then, she took out a bottle of spiritual spring water from her space, opened the cap, and carefully handed it to Xiao Xian.
The little fairy excitedly stretched out her thin vines, poured out the spiritual spring water, and then drank it down in large gulps.
Nourished by the spiritual spring water, the little fairy's two leaves became even greener, full of vitality.
Yan Ziyan curiously leaned closer and gently touched the little fairy's leaves. The little fairy seemed a little shy, slightly shrinking its leaves, but did not pull away.
At this moment, Xiao Guang suddenly spoke up: "There are other good things in this place. Let Xiao Xian take you there. I'll rest for a while. I might have to go into seclusion for a while after we get back!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Jiang Wanwan and the others to respond. He instantly returned to the area above Jiang Wanwan's dantian and closed his eyes to rest.
Just then, Xiao Xian hooked Jiang Wanwan's sleeve and led everyone to a bamboo forest.
To Yan Ziyan's surprise, they were actually Thunder Bamboo. They emitted a faint lightning glow, clearly indicating that they were high-quality spiritual objects.
Xiao Xian happily jumped to a Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, dug out a bamboo shoot with the vines, and handed it to Jiang Wanwan. Jiang Wanwan took the bamboo shoot and felt the powerful energy contained within it.
"What is this?" Jiang Wanwan asked curiously.
"These are Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Shoots, which contain the power of heavenly thunder. Consuming them can enhance the power of thunder-type spells and strengthen the body's defenses. They are a favorite among thunder-type cultivators," Yan Ziyan explained, his eyes shining.
Hearing this, Jiang Wanwan was overjoyed and immediately said, "That's great! Senior brother, I'll take this whole patch of Thunder Bamboo back with you. You can eat as many bamboo shoots as you want from now on!"
After saying that, she patted her chest with one hand to assure herself.
Immediately afterwards, she took out a whole string of tools from her storage space, ready to get to work.
Yan Ziyan looked at the professional excavation tools and couldn't help but laugh, jokingly saying, "They really have to dig up the ground too."
Jiang Wanwan ignored his teasing and focused intently on digging up the Thunder Bamboo. She carefully dug out each bamboo stalk, making sure they were intact.
Yan Ziyan stood quietly to the side, his gaze fixed on Jiang Wanwan's busy figure.
Her petite yet resolute figure stood out so uniquely in this Thunder Bamboo Forest. An indescribable emotion welled up in his heart, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
Meanwhile, the little fairy seemed to understand what Jiang Wanwan was trying to do. Its green vines continued to extend, like nimble snakes burrowing into the soil, and began to help dig up the Thunder Bamboo.
With Xiaoxian's help, a large area of Thunder Bamboo, along with the land, was quickly moved into the space.
Jiang Wanwan excitedly ran to Yan Ziyan's side, her eyes sparkling with joy.
With a radiant smile, she assured Yan Ziyan, "Once we return to the sect, I will definitely go to your Cloud Sea Pavilion and plant these Thunder Bamboos for you!"
Yan Ziyan smiled slightly, gently patted her head, and answered tenderly, "Okay!"
With the collection of Thunder Bamboo complete, they continued their journey.
Xiao Xian led them to a mysterious valley, where a peculiar atmosphere permeated the air.
As they entered the valley, they discovered a vibrant, colorful land, radiating a captivating glow.
"The Five-Colored Divine Soil possesses five-colored spiritual power, which can nourish all things and even improve the quality of spiritual plants," Yan Ziyan exclaimed in amazement.
They carefully collected the five-colored divine soil and stored it all in Jiang Wanwan's space.
As she left the valley, Jiang Wanwan stopped, slowly turned around, and gazed at the scenery behind her, a deep sense of emotion welling up in her heart.
This adventure was incredibly fruitful; not only did we obtain precious treasures, but more importantly, we successfully solved the problem of the origin of wood.
The two tidied themselves up and prepared to meet up with Zhan Beiwang and the others. They still needed to collect blue mist, which was another important goal of their trip.
"Little Fairy, what's going on with that swamp? Why can't we use our spiritual power once we go in?" Jiang Wanwan suddenly remembered the contract she had signed with Little Fairy, and she couldn't help but ask.
Just then, a childish voice reached her ears: "Master, I've placed many shadow stones in the swamp. This way, other creatures won't easily wander in, and I can cultivate in peace!"
"Shadow Stone? I see! Little Fairy, you're so clever!" Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but praise, admiring Little Fairy's wit.
She hadn't expected Xiao Xian to come up with such a clever way to protect herself. At the same time, she also understood why Xiao Xian's cultivation was so profound; it turned out that it was because of the help of these Shadow Stones.
Jiang Wanwan found it more and more interesting. The Shadow Stone was just like a Wi-Fi jammer in modern society!
She secretly decided that she must go and pick up those shadow stones later to study them carefully, as they might be of great use in the future.
"Little Fairy, I'm taking you away now. Is there anything else you want to take with you?"
“Master, all my treasures are with me, let’s go!” Xiao Xian replied with a smile, showing her complete trust and reliance on Jiang Wanwan.
Led by Xiao Xian, Jiang Wanwan and her companion soon appeared deep in the swamp.
The air here was filled with a putrid smell, but Jiang Wanwan didn't care. Her gaze was drawn to the shadow stones that emitted a faint light.
Jiang Wanwan casually put all the Shadow Stones into her spatial storage, and instantly, her spiritual power, which had just been lost, was fully restored.
In a flash, the two were back on the original shore.
By this time, the sun had already begun to set in the west, and its afterglow shone on the marshland, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene of fiery red light.
