Ling Mo and the other two stepped forward.
Gu Xiaochui reached out and patted Rong Zi's shoulder, sighed softly, and then said comfortingly, "Master, please accept my condolences..."
Yun Jing and Ling Mo: "..."
Can't you speak properly?
Ling Mo knelt down on one knee, picked up a spirit stone, and said with some doubt, "Why did the spiritual energy inside these spirit stones just disappear into thin air?"
Without human intervention, the spiritual energy within a spirit stone would never disappear without a reason.
"Could it have been sucked away by something?" Gu Xiaochui asked uncertainly.
Yun Jing: "But in Master's Primordial Ring, the only ones that can breathe are Egg and Cai Niu."
As soon as Yun Jing finished speaking, the eyes of the four masters and disciples all fell on Cai Niu and Jun Moyao.
Cai Niu was climbing up Rong Zi's body on all fours.
Jun Moyao rode on its tortoise shell.
Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Cai Niu slipped and tumbled off Rong Zi's body.
Jun Moyao swayed and was somewhat unsteady on his feet.
With a graceful leap, his small body landed steadily on the ground.
Cai Niu was thrown onto her back, and it took her several kicks to finally roll over. She immediately tried to defend herself.
"Why are you all looking at me? My master is so stingy, do you think I'm crazy? How dare you waste her spirit stones?"
Gu Xiaochui and Yun Jing exchanged a glance and both nodded in agreement.
"That makes sense."
Rong Zi: "..."
Although she also believed in Cai Niu.
But why did those words make her so itchy to touch them?
What do you mean she's so stingy?
That's called being frugal, okay?!
Since it wasn't Cai Niu who did it, then...
Everyone's attention turned to Jun Moyao.
Jun Moyao unfolded the fan in his hand, then put one small hand behind his back, straightened his back, and snorted.
"I wouldn't stoop so low as to covet even such a small amount of spirit stones."
Gu Xiaochui scratched his head. "Then what's going on?"
Rong Zi's brows were so furrowed they looked like they could trap a fly.
She ruffled the pile of spirit stones in front of her and was surprised to find that not all of them had lost their spiritual energy.
Only about two-thirds of the spirit stones became useless stones.
The remaining third of the spirit stones is still good.
Rong Zi narrowed his eyes and probed his spiritual energy to check.
A moment later, her face suddenly darkened.
The spiritual energy within the spirit stone was still continuously leaking out!
Moreover, the direction of the loss...
Rong Zi suddenly stood up, cleared away the rubble in front of her, and quickly walked in one direction.
"Master?" The other three people present followed suit.
Rong Zi moved aside the spirit stones under her feet and walked around to the other side of the pile of spirit stones.
However, upon seeing the scene before her, her pupils trembled slightly, and she froze completely.
What... is going on?
What did she see?
A plant that looked like a mimosa had roots that weren't rooted in the soil, but rather clung firmly to her spirit stone like an octopus.
Not only that.
It seemed to have a life of its own, its roots like human arms, waving as it picked and chose among the spirit stones.
Once you find a satisfactory spirit stone, simply attach the root system to it.
Immediately afterwards, Rong Zi watched as the spiritual energy in the spirit stone was completely absorbed by it through its root system!
Ling Mo, Yun Jing, and the other two also witnessed this bizarre scene.
A moving plant?!
Yun Jing reached out a small hand and grabbed Rong Zi's sleeve, covering her mouth in shock, "Master, what... what is this?"
It's just a plant.
Why does it look just like a human?
Not only can it move freely, but it can also directly absorb the spiritual energy from spirit stones.
Rong Zi looked at her spirit stone with immense heartache, her little face dark with anger, her temples throbbing.
She gritted her teeth and rolled up her sleeves.
"Whatever it is, it dares to absorb my spirit stones. Today I will make it know why flowers are so red!"
Rong Zi strode forward and reached out to grab the plant that was still absorbing her spirit stones.
However, the other party seemed to notice her, and its leaves trembled.
He looked exactly like someone who had been caught doing something wrong and was trembling with fear.
Seeing that Rong Zi was about to catch it, it released its roots that were attached to the spirit stone, used its own roots as feet, and turned to run away.
Before running, he even used branches and leaves to wrap up a few more spirit stones.
As Rong Zi watched its movements, an inexplicable anger surged to his head.
Damn it, how dare they eat and take things right in front of her?!
Without a word, Rong Zi drew Xiu'er from her waist and swung it at the herb, gritting her teeth as she said, "Stop! Put down my spirit stones!"
Don't underestimate the other party just because it's a blade of grass.
But they were surprisingly agile when they moved.
With a feint, it dodged Xiu'er's entanglement and ran off with such flamboyant movements that leaves flew everywhere.
Even the roots were practically sparking from rubbing against the ground.
Ling Mo, Gu Xiaochui, and the other two stared blankly at the scene before them, completely dumbfounded.
Are they dreaming?!
His master was actually chasing a blade of grass?
Moreover, the two sides engaged in a chase, a hit-and-run, a back-and-forth standoff...
Rong Zi was so angry that his forehead hurt from failing to catch the little blade of grass running ahead.
Seeing her three apprentices just standing there dumbfounded, she turned her head and said, "What are you standing there for? Surround and block them!"
