Zhu Yi looked at the hideous mouths of the demonic blood flowers within the pit at her feet and twitched her lips.
The three sisters were exhausted by the sheer number of enemies, and the rising dust in the distance indicated that more Demon Blood Flowers would join the battle.
Xue Shan, whose cultivation level was the highest, ate another spirit-replenishing pill: "This can't go on. I'll hold them off here, and you two junior sisters should escape from the area with fewer flowers behind us!"
"Sister Shanshan! How could we leave you alone?" Wei Weiwei's eyes reddened. She was almost out of talismans. Looking at the noisy Demon Blood Flower around her, she couldn't help but cry.
Zhu Yi remained silent, flicked the Morning Dew Sword and cut off five or six small demonic blood flowers in one go. With a flick of her wrist, she finally added two mid-grade spirit stones to the Crane Feather Flying Vehicle.
Fine! Let that little brat laugh at her if she wants!
She's flexible and adaptable; she'll definitely wipe out these demonic blood flowers when she gets back!
A pure white aircraft appeared before the three of them, with a noble crane at the front and folded wings on its sides.
As it prepares to take flight, its wings are slightly spread, their shimmering white light shining against the red forest. The beautiful and graceful appearance of the crane's feathers is unforgettable.
Xue Shan and Wei Weiwei were somewhat surprised: "Junior Sister, you actually have a flying artifact!"
"This is very expensive..." Before Xue Shan could finish marveling at the price, Zhu Yi pushed her onto the flying vehicle.
Wei Weiwei wiped away her tears, her face filled with envy and surprise as she climbed onto the aircraft.
When she gets back, she'll definitely do more quests to collect spirit stones, so she can get one for herself too!
"Ahhh! Flower Warriors! They're running away!"
"Hiss! Something's not right, they're going to fly! The ground is surrounded by our Demon Blood Flowers, they have nowhere to run!"
Zhu Yi brandished her sword to clear away the little red flowers that wanted to follow her onto the flying vehicle: "These sharp-toothed creatures, don't they bite and damage my magic weapon!"
"Ahhh~ I'm going to find Lord Demon Vine! Lord Demon Vine will definitely be able to pull you down!"
Following Zhu Yi's wishes, the crane-feather flying vehicle transformed the ship-like section into three side-by-side bunk beds, much like the size of a first-class train sleeper berth in Zhu Yi's previous life.
Zhu Yi quickly boarded the aircraft, sat in the first seat, and piloted the aircraft to ascend, maintaining a distance of about ten meters from the ground.
"Junior Sister, what are we going to do next?" Xue Shan asked.
"Prepare to be a flower-slaying envoy!" Zhu Yi took out a royal-level trapping array plate, cast lotus-colored spells onto the array plate, and set up a circular array with the crane feather flying vehicle as the origin and a radius of five miles to trap these clawing little red flowers.
To enhance the effectiveness of the trapping formation, Zhu Yi also specially placed three mid-grade spirit stones on the royal-level formation plate.
Zhu Yi felt disheartened after consuming five mid-grade spirit stones in one go.
At this rate, even the fortune Master Yujing gave her won't be enough for her to squander!
After returning to the sect, I need to put earning spirit stones on the agenda.
Then, Zhu Yi let out a long breath and lay down on her back on the communal bed.
Her whole body was sore and achy. She couldn't even use the spiritual energy guide in her dantian to soothe herself. Her mind was foggy, and she wanted to sleep and eat.
"Sisters, take a rest first! I can't stay awake any longer and need to sleep! Two hours later, when the sun comes up in the morning, we'll go down and slaughter these little red flowers!"
"That's good. If these monsters escape from here, they might go and attack other fellow disciples." This was also the first time Xue Shan had fought so hard against monsters. This was the first time she had experienced such a thrilling and exhilarating real combat. Despite her fatigue, she felt a faint sense of excitement.
"Monsters generally don't like sunlight, so it might be easier for us to go down and slaughter the flowers in the morning."
She followed Zhu Yi's example, lying down on the communal bed in a "big" shape and concentrating on regulating her breathing.
She felt that after a night of actual combat, her coordination with the Hehuan Sword had become even more seamless.
Under such intense self-defense, her spiritual energy circulated rapidly, and the places where her spiritual energy had been blocked during her cultivation in the sect were cleared away.
Surrounded by the wilderness, with the clamor of the demonic blood flowers frantically attacking the trapping formation beneath her, Xue Shan felt that she was about to touch the threshold of Foundation Establishment...
Wei Weiwei looked at her two sisters lying beside her, lost in thought. Shanshan and Zhu Yi both used swords; with a single strike, three or four rows of Demon Blood Flowers fell one after another. She, however, only knew how to use talismans and the Li Huo Bow, which she felt was insufficient in battle. Should she learn some other weapons after returning to the sect?
Zhu Yi, that simpleton, is quite carefree. She has no time to reflect on her shortcomings. In Chifeng, the sounds of the wind, the grass, and the ferocious cries of the Demon Blood Flower cannot disturb her sleep.
During the battle, her spiritual energy was depleted and then restored by the Spirit Replenishing Pill. The stimulation caused her meridians to ache as if pricked by needles, and she frowned in her sleep.
The white jade lantern hairpin flickered twice, and the blue-tailed mermaid poked its head out again. It had just wanted to go back to sleep, but when it saw that Zhu Yi had taken out the crane feather flying device again, it thought that its master was really incompetent!
The blue-tailed shark flung a few small spirit beads at Zhu Yi with a huff, then puffed out its cheeks and shrank back into the hair ornament: "Hmph! If you don't collect little red crystals for me, I won't tell you who I am!"
Not far away, on a branch, two sparrows that had flown back were chirping and exchanging pleasantries, their faces nuzzling together. Meanwhile, the other sparrow that had stayed behind fluttered its wings and flew off to find Zhu Qianying.
As the campfire died down, the people around them lazily sat down to rest or focused on their spiritual practice.
Zhu Qianying volunteered to keep watch for everyone tonight.
Shangguan Wenqi, on the other hand, found an excuse to accompany Zhu Qianying, staying by her side and occasionally chatting with her.
Zhu Qianying did not refuse; she knew that Shangguan Wenqi had feelings for her.
She knew that as the eldest grandson of the first family in the Eastern Continent, Shangguan Wenqi was undoubtedly an excellent candidate for a Daoist partner, and the elders of the Zhu family were also happy to see the two of them become Daoist partners.
However, a voice inside her kept telling her that no, Shangguan Wenqi was not the person she was looking for, but she didn't want to reject him either. She enjoyed being fawned over by everyone, as if she was born to be the center of attention.
So who is she looking for?
Zhu Qianying has always been very persistent about two things: suppressing Zhu Yi and finding someone.
She felt extremely pleased when she caused trouble for Zhu Yi, making Zhu Yi suffer from pain and displeasure!
She also wants to find a handsome, elegant, and gentle man with a connection to Buddhism; the man who can be her husband must be no ordinary person.
"Chirp~" A little sparrow landed on Zhu Qianying's shoulder.
Shangguan Wenqi looked over curiously.
"Chirp chirp~" The three of them were exhausted. Unable to defeat the Demon Blood Flowers, they hid on a flying artifact.
"And now? How are they?" Zhu Qianying took out half a small spirit fruit and gave it to the little sparrow to eat. As she fiddled with it, she communicated with the little sparrow in her mind.
This seemingly ordinary and unremarkable little sparrow is actually a mid-level spirit beast, the Tracking Bird, which is known for its ability to find people over thousands of miles and track them over tens of thousands of miles.
Her two birdwatchers are still chicks, equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old human child.
Although they can't be driven thousands of miles away, they can easily keep an eye on a few Qi Refining stage disciples. Since she has met her good sister, why shouldn't Zhu Qianying use them?
Zhu Qianying originally had no interest in rescuing the little sparrows that had fallen to her doorstep. She did it casually to maintain her gentle and kind image. Who knew that the two unassuming little sparrows would have such a useful ability?
