Chapter 42 There is no free lunch in the world



"Don't damage the roots? That's easy."

After hearing this, Tu Nian held onto the shore with one hand and quickly took out the Zhang Yu Tu Fu from the mustard seed. "No matter how deep the roots of the Dragon Breath Sunflower are, they still grow in the sand. When the time comes, you can bury this talisman in the soil where it grows. This talisman will naturally loosen the sand. You can then take action. I believe there will be no problem."

After taking the talisman and glancing at it, Chu Qiurong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be back soon."

"Hey, wait." Seeing Chu Qiurong was about to leave, Tu Nian stopped him.

Chu Qiurong heard the sound and turned around to ask, "What's wrong?"

Tu Nian thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you."

If there is one, there will be two. Since the Qianji Lake can produce the Millennium Dragon Breath Sunflower, it is likely that it will also contain some other natural treasures. With her luck, if she can come across another one and keep it for pocket money, wouldn't that be wonderful?

She couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth. When she came back to her senses, she met Chu Qiurong's pair of eyes full of suspicion. She coughed and said seriously, "This water-repellent talisman is very expensive. If you don't succeed the first time, you will have to use another one. It's better for me to go with you. If the earth-controlling talisman doesn't work, at least I can help you think of a solution."

Chu Qiurong knew what she was thinking, and raised her eyebrows to look at her, "Little Junior Sister, if you want to steal the opportunity, just say it. I'm not your master, so there's no need to make up any nonsense to appease me."

Having his thoughts exposed by him, Tu Nian smiled playfully, "There's no monster watching over the Dragon Breath Kui anyway, so what's wrong with having more people and more strength?"

What she said was not wrong. Along the way, there were only some low-level monsters. Chu Qiurong could protect her on her own, so there was no reason not to go into the water.

Chu Qiurong naturally understood this logic, so she didn't spoil her fun. After she put up the water-repellent talisman, they went into the water together.

When Tu Nian got into the water, he realized how hard Chu Qiurong had worked today. The area he swam through was bare within a radius of dozens of meters, obviously it had been dug clean.

Tu Nian gave him a thumbs up sincerely, and the latter gladly accepted it, and the two continued to swim forward.

When we arrived at the destination, the thousand-year-old dragon's breath sunflower, which was half a person's height, was swaying alone in the water.

From a distance, the leaves of the dragon's breath sunflower are as big as a palm-leaf fan and dark purple in color. The connecting stems are ordinary blue and as thick as a person's wrist. You can tell at a glance that it is growing very well. If it grows for a long time, it is very likely to surpass the quality of thousands of years.

Tu Nian felt a little guilty for a moment when he thought about selling such a good elixir, but when he thought about the number of spirit stones he could get, the guilty feeling disappeared.

People are not even living well, why should they sympathize with a blade of grass?

That's really unnecessary.

Immediately, she raised her hand and patted Chu Qiurong. Chu Qiurong understood, stepped forward and walked around the stems and leaves. After burying the earth-controlling talisman in a few strokes, she activated her spiritual power and tried to control the sand and stones to separate to both sides.

Although this earth-controlling talisman was made by Tu Nian, after being modified by Nie Yanchen, its effectiveness is no less than that made by a Jindan cultivator.

In just three to five breaths, several gentle forces were emanated from the sand where the dragon's breath sunflower was located, circulating back and forth, just like waves pushing and kneading the dragon's breath sunflower.

Not long after, a thumb-length rhizome emerged from the dragon's breath sunflower. Chu Qiurong and Tu Nian exchanged glances and began to increase their strength.

Under Chu Qiurong's control, the roots of the dragon's breath sunflower gradually broke away from the sand and soon half of it emerged from the soil. Just when Tu Nian thought that the dragon's breath sunflower could be pulled out completely in a short while, he suddenly noticed that the expression on Chu Qiurong's face seemed to be a little strange.

Tu Nian floated over and patted his shoulder, then followed his line of sight to look at the dragon's breath sunflower, only to find that the roots of the dragon's breath sunflower had stopped in the soil and were motionless.

Tu Nian quickly took out two sound transmission notes and stuck them on him and himself respectively, and asked in his mind, "What's going on?"

Slowly withdrawing her spiritual power, Chu Qiurong frowned and pointed to the location of the Dragon Breath Kui, "There seems to be something underneath."

"Something?"

"Yes. That thing is holding the Dragon Breath Kui back from the ground. I tried to use spiritual power as a guide, but it seems like that thing can absorb spiritual power, so it's useless."

Can it absorb spiritual energy?

Tu Nian pursed her lips and said, "Let's go and take a look."

After saying that, she pulled Chu Qiurong along and swam to the root of the dragon's breath sunflower.

Tu Nian looked around and found nothing strange. After observing for a while, she tentatively injected some spiritual power into it. The sand absorbed the spiritual power and emitted a faint blue light.

"Brother, look!"

She quickly shook Chu Qiurong and pointed at the blue. Chu Qiurong did not hesitate after seeing it and directly moved away all the sand with her bare hands. When they saw the true appearance of the blue light, they were both stunned.

"Is this... a formation?"

Looking at those few yet very large lines, Chu Qiurong was a little bit unbelievable.

Although he couldn't understand the purpose of this formation, he knew that if the formation was restored according to its size, it would be at least one mile in radius. Such a grand formation was unheard of even in the entire world of immortal cultivation.

Tu Nian, who recognized the patterns of those lines, suddenly realized, "No wonder we can't pull out the Dragon Breath Sunflower. This is the Immortal Attraction Formation!"

Chu Qiurong looked at her in surprise, "You know this formation?"

Tu Nian nodded as he flipped through the mustard seeds. "I've seen it in Tushan's book. It says that all creatures born from this formation are spiritually aware and are used by the immortals. Mortals are not allowed to pick them unless they offer a sincere sacrifice as tribute."

"So..."

After listening to Tu Nian's words, Chu Qiurong looked at her actions with some suspicion, "Junior Sister, you are not still carrying this so-called 'tribute' with you, are you?"
