“Meimei, although my God Appraisal Tower cannot help you on its own initiative, you can hire someone to do so.”
The mountains and rivers seemed to block the way, but then a village appeared amidst the willows and flowers.
"Hired? The Divine Appraisal Tower can be hired?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.
No matter how mature and composed Shen Wuyi pretended to be, he was still just an eighteen-year-old boy. When his heart stirred, he couldn't help but tease Ji Xiaoxiao. Ji Xiaoxiao overreacted, and Shen Wuyi felt embarrassed and guilty. He directly told Ji Xiaoxiao the answer, "It is a fact known to both the Spirit God and the Martial God that the God Appraisal Tower can be hired."
"I'm not a god," Ji Xiaoxiao weakly retorted in her heart upon hearing this.
"What price do I need to pay to hire the God Appraisal Tower?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked, getting to the heart of the matter.
Shen Wuyi is the young master of Jian Shen Tower, so it's only natural for him to make money for his own family.
"The Divine Appraisal Tower is no ordinary organization. The members of the tower are at least half-step gods in terms of cultivation. To ask them to do something, the minimum reward must be rare natural treasures, spiritual plants and immortal plants."
Rare and precious materials? Spiritual plants and immortal herbs? The asking price is quite high.
You get what you pay for; as a fellow working-class person, Ji Xiaoxiao understands this all too well.
"Okay, I agree."
Natural treasures, I'll give you. Spiritual plants, I'll give you too.
Shen Wuyi stretched out his hand and said, "Meimei."
Ji Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and said, "I don't have it now, I'll owe you for now." Her words were powerful and resounding.
Shen Wuyi's lips curled into a high smile as he shook his head and said that the Divine Appraisal Tower did not allow credit. To go all the way, Shen Wuyi gave Ji Xiaoxiao a piece of information: there was a swamp west of the Death Forest containing a celestial plant.
"Thank you so much, Meimei. If you ever need me in the future, I will do anything for you."
Ji Xiaoxiao followed Shen Wuyi and left with Zhishu and Dali. Time was of the essence; they needed to obtain the immortal plant from the swamp as soon as possible and request the Appraisal Tower to intervene.
As the beautiful figure disappeared, Shen Wu burst into laughter. "Hahaha... Ping An, did you hear that? 'I'll owe you money first'? How did she even come up with that? She thought of it, and then said it so matter-of-factly. It's truly hilarious. Among those who come to the Divine Appraisal Tower, there are those who use sophistry to get something for nothing, and there are those who follow the rules and possess great treasures. But throughout the ages, this act of borrowing money on credit is truly unique to Xie Meimei."
Peace rose from the shadows on the ground like smoke, and then took human form.
“Young Master, the area west of the forest is the territory of the Devouring Toad. The Devouring Toad is a powerful demon beast that even the Divine King Water Phoenix and the Fire Dragon King avoid. Miss Xie, you are going there…”
Shen Wuyi stopped smiling and said in a deep voice, "Ping An, my Divine Observation Tower does not do charity."
Not doing charity work?
Put away your useless kindness; it will only harm yourself and others.
Shen Wuyi's eyes were glazed over, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
"Prepare water, I want to take a bath." Shen Wuyi felt extremely uncomfortable, and subconsciously felt that his whole body, from the outside to the inside, was covered with some kind of filth that he could not wash off.
Ping An was used to Shen Wuyi's fastidiousness and prepared well in advance.
...
After resting for half a day at the Divine Appraisal Tower, Ji Xiaoxiao bid farewell to Shen Wuyi and embarked on her journey.
Five days later, on the road, the air was damp, and the smell of decaying branches and leaves filled the air.
The further west you go into the Death Forest, the fewer large animals you see, but the more magical beasts like snakes, insects, and rats you encounter.
"Zhishu, did you see the Flower of Rebirth?"
The Flower of Rebirth is a rare and precious plant, and is the main ingredient for refining the Resurrection Pill.
Zhi Shu ignored Ji Xiaoxiao, focusing her mind and looking around intently.
Daryl curled his lip and kicked a fallen leaf on the ground. "Miss, why don't you ask me?"
"Ask you?" Ji Xiaoxiao's voice was a little shrill.
“Dali is also very capable.” Darli puffed out his chest.
"So, have you found it?" Ask around; there are plenty of lives at stake.
Dali, like a flower wilted under the scorching sun, replied listlessly, "No."
Ji Xiaoxiao was furious, wishing she could slap Dali across the face. "You..."
"Silence." Zhi Shu's expression was grave, and she abruptly silenced Ji Xiaoxiao and Da Li.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked in that direction and saw a giant toad in the distance.
“If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Sky-Swallowing Toad.” Zhi Shu’s voice trembled.
A giant toad that swallows the sky?
The Devouring Toad of the Death Forest! The in-laws of Shen Wuyi from a past life!
No wonder Ji Xiaoxiao felt a sense of familiarity along the way.
Ji Xiaoxiao craned her neck and carefully examined the toad from head to toe. It wasn't large enough to be the Swamp Lord, but rather his daughter.
Whether she is the real Toad that Swallows the Sky or the daughter of the Toad that Swallows the Sky, there are many paths to take, and we should each go our own way. There is no need to get entangled with her endlessly.
Ji Xiaoxiao tried to pull Zhishu away, but Zhishu's feet were rooted to the ground. "Zhishu, let's go. You won't get any uglier no matter how much I look at you."
"You can't leave, the Flower of Rebirth is right there."
What?
Before Ji Xiaoxiao could even react in shock, Dali spoke up quietly, "There seems to be a man under that toad, and he looks quite like the young master Shen."
