According to rumors, there are even terrifying monsters equivalent to the Soul-Breaking Realm in the central area of ​​Baihai Mountain.

In order to prevent mortals from mistakenly entering Baihai Mountain, the three major sects including Tianyun Pavilion joined forces to set up a cloud and fog formation, making it difficult for people without spiritual power to take even a single step into Baihai Mountain.

About two hours later, Jiang Zhige and the other two appeared above Baihai Mountain.

"Brother, these mountains look like bones."

Nangong Rou hugged Jiang Zhige tightly from behind and looked at Baihai Mountain with curiosity.

Looking down from the perspective of the three people, the endless Baihai Mountains looked like a corpse.

"Rou'er, this is why Baihai Mountain got its name. There are countless monsters living in it. You must follow us closely when we enter the mountain."

"Brother, don't look down on me. I'm already in the Spiritual Martial Realm!"

Nangong Rou pouted. If she was protected by Jiang Zhige all her life, then she would be his younger sister all her life.

Jiang Zhige was secretly helpless. He actually hoped that Nangong Rou could deal with the monster alone.

Ning Qiu Shui, who was not far away, smiled without saying anything. If a battle really came up, she didn't expect the brother and sister to be of any use.

Jiang Zhige is still young, and his cultivation is only at the Lianzang realm. Although Nangong Rou has just entered the Lingwu realm, she has been growing up under the protection of Jiang Zhige and his master. Her actual combat ability is probably not as good as Jiang Zhige, who is also at the Lianzang realm.

After a while, the three people and two cranes slowly landed on a hillside of Baihai Mountain.

Ning Qiushui jumped off the crane, overlooking the vibrant Baihai Mountain jungle, and asked, "Junior brother, do you know what kind of environment Lingxu grass usually grows in?"

"It must be a dark, damp place with a certain amount of spiritual energy. Usually, there will be monsters like dragons and black blood bats lurking nearby."

Jiang Zhige had already learned about spiritual medicines, and Lingxu grass was a commonly used spiritual medicine in the sect, so he naturally knew something about it.

Ning Qiu Shui nodded, looking like she approved of Jiang Zhige.

In fact, she had just casually mentioned a task and wanted Jiang Zhige to accompany her with a legitimate reason. She had never understood the growth environment of Lingxu grass.

If Jiang Zhige didn't know about Lingxu Grass, the three of them would just have to wander around Baihai Mountain today.

"Zheng Jiao and Black Blood Bat are all monsters that are equivalent to the early or middle stage of the Spiritual Martial Realm when they mature. It shouldn't be difficult for me to deal with them."

Ning Qiu Shui pondered secretly. Although her goal was not to complete the sect's mission, she had to pretend to do so.

After determining the direction of search, Ning Qiu Shui let the two cranes leave first, and the three of them crossed the hillside and began to go deeper into Baihai Mountain.

There are only low-level monsters in the body refining stage in the outer areas of Baihai Mountain. If they want to find Lingxu Grass where monsters in the Lingwu realm are lurking, the three of them have to go at least one mile deep into the Baihai Mountains.

After walking for a while, Ning Qiushui suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Jiang Zhige and said, "Junior brother, we definitely won't be able to find Lingxu grass in a short time, why don't we act separately?"

"But."

Jiang Zhige glanced at Nangong Rou, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

How could he let Nangong Rou act alone in the dangerous Baihai Mountains?

Ning Qiushui waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have three soul-piercing stones. As long as you don't leave too far, just inform others in time if you encounter danger."

As she spoke, she took out two light blue crystals from her storage ring and handed them to Jiang Zhige and Nangong Rou.

The Soul-piercing Stone can sense the specific location of the other party within ten miles, and can communicate through voice transmission at any time.

"It turns out that Senior Sister was well prepared, and Junior Brother was just stupid."

Jiang Zhige bowed, took the two soul-piercing stones, and handed one to Nangong Rou.

Noticing his actions, Ning Qiu Shui couldn't help but frown.

"Brother, I am a few years older than you, but we are still of the same generation. Can you please stop being so distant?"

Jiang Zhige's politeness seemed to be a direct statement that Nangong Rou was his relative, and Ning Qiu Shui was just an outsider.

For a woman with feelings in her heart, this unintentional estrangement is too hurtful.

Jiang Zhige was stunned, not realizing how he had made Ning Qiu Shui feel awkward.

Nangong Rou shrugged and said helplessly: "My brother is like this, he is very polite to everyone. Even though my master is so frivolous, he will still treat him with courtesy."

Ning Qiu Shui's expression froze when he heard this, and a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

The three of them came together on a crane, and she saw how harmoniously Jiang Zhige and Nangong Rou got along.

So Jiang Zhige was not being estranged from Ning Qiu Shui, he was just being polite.

However, Nangong Rou is an exception. Ning Qiu Shui would naturally feel unwilling to use her as a comparison.

Ning Qiu Shui was not discouraged by this. After all, today was just the beginning and she still had a long way to go.

Ning Qiushui quickly adjusted her state. She looked up at Jiang Zhige and said earnestly, "Junior brother, you are a teenager, don't always act like an old man. It's not a bad thing to be innocent and naive occasionally, right?"

Ning Qiu Shui said this and suddenly stretched out her hands and pinched Jiang Zhige's face.

Jiang Zhige froze, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He didn't expect that Fairy Ning, who seemed untainted by the world in the eyes of others, would actually have such a casual side.

Looking at Jiang Zhige who had a dazed look on his face and let herself pinch his face, Ning Qiu Shui couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Judging from his appearance alone, Jiang Zhige is clearly a young boy who has not yet grown out of his childishness, but his words and actions are like those of a veteran with rich experience.

"Let go! Let go! Bad sister, how could you pinch my brother's face!"

Nangong Rou, who was standing next to them, was both angry and anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two.

Ning Qiu Shui blinked her eyes and pretended to be innocent: "Stingy guy, I just pinched it lightly."

For some reason, when she saw the usually serious Jiang Zhige looking at a loss, she actually felt a little excited inside as if she had won a victory.

"you!"

Nangong Rou's face suddenly turned red with anger, and she felt like fighting with Ning Qiu Shui.

If Jiang Zhige was really a naive boy, when Ning Qiu Shui pinched his face, others would just think it was the intimacy of an older sister showing to her younger brother.

But Jiang Zhige has always been a mature and steady person. Ning Qiushui suddenly made such an intimate move, and the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous, right? Ning Qiushui didn't care about Nangong Rou's anger, waved at Jiang Zhige and said, "Junior brother, if you encounter danger, remember to notify me in time."

As she spoke, she walked briskly and quickly disappeared from their sight.

Nangong Rou gritted her teeth. Now that Ning Qiu Shui was gone, she really had no place to vent her anger.

"Bad guys! They are all bad guys!"

Nangong Rou held it in for a long time, and finally could only stomp her feet to vent her anger.

After she said that, she glared at Jiang Zhige and left without saying goodbye.
