"Later, you had other purposes, so you dealt with and disguised the village, including the bloodstains in the cave and the bones of that snake demon, which you deliberately moved over."
"You cleaned up all your own blood in the village beforehand, leaving only the snake demon's blood."
"But you've overlooked one thing."
“When you were still a little poet, I noticed that the bloodstains on your skirt had two different scents.”
"One of them is very faint; it must be your own bloodstains that you forgot to clean up."
After hearing this, the snake woman laughed. In order to make the act more convincing, she disguised herself as Xiao Shi and ran through the village when the smell of blood was strongest, pretending to be fleeing for her life.
As a result, when cleaning up the bloodstains later, they forgot to clean up the bloodstains on Xiaoshi's body.
She nodded thoughtfully, "I didn't realize I'd overlooked that. I'll try to improve next time."
"So, what is your purpose in leading me here?" Shen Sangruo asked directly.
The story of this village was made up by the snake woman, so the snake demon eating people doesn't exist.
The snake woman only devours her own kind, not cultivators.
Furthermore, the snake woman had never shown any aggression towards her, so she must have had other motives.
Shen Sangruo shared her guess, "For that treasure?"
That's why she's even more convinced that there really is treasure here.
"You devoured another snake demon not only to increase your cultivation, but also for the treasure, right?"
The snake demon did not deny it, but said, "You will soon find out my purpose."
"Don't worry, I won't harm you. This is a win-win situation for us."
She had already secretly ascertained Shen Sangruo's strength, and when she was holding Zhumiao, she realized that Shen Sangruo was not someone she could afford to offend.
Fortunately, the snake woman's original intention was not to harm Chen Sangruo.
As the snake woman finished speaking, light began to emanate from beneath their feet.
An intricate array appeared beneath their feet, and the snake woman's eyes gleamed with excitement. "The teleportation array has been triggered!"
The light from the array gradually became dazzling, and Shen Sangruo had to shield her eyes with her hand.
After the light disappeared, the two had been teleported to another location.
"Is this the flat land behind that mountain?" She opened her eyes, and in front of her was the mountain she had just been searching.
When she turned around again, the scene behind her was completely different from what she had seen before.
Countless rare spiritual plants appeared on the former flat land, including many alchemy and medicine materials that had not been seen in the cultivation world for a long time.
Shen Sangruo's eyes widened instantly, revealing the same expression as the snake woman earlier.
If these are collected, Ninghua Sect will probably never have to worry about medicinal plants again!
The dodder flower spirit in her hair was even more excited, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy in the air, and its vines stretched out.
The spiritual energy in the Starry Plains was already much denser than outside the barrier, and it was several times denser here!
Her gaze swept around, and to her left was a spring of spiritual water, from which spiritual water continuously gushed forth.
Her master, Immortal Lord Changli, only had a few jars of such spiritual spring water. Last time, she asked for a jar to soak the dodder flower fairy.
The dodder flower demon let out a "howl" and jumped directly into the spiritual spring. One of its vines floated on the water and swam freely.
The spiritual spring exudes a rich spiritual energy, nourishing the land, which is why the spiritual plants grow quite well.
Shen Sanruo forcibly turned her gaze away from the spiritual spring and looked at the enormous tree on her right.
To the right is a towering tea tree, its lush branches casting a large shadow, covered with countless emerald green buds and leaves.
She walked quickly closer, picked a low-lying bud, and examined it carefully.
After confirming what it was, even she, who was usually calm, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It's actually a living tea tree with marrow cleansing and body tempering effects!"
The buds of this tea tree are processed into tea leaves, which are then brewed and consumed to achieve a certain degree of marrow cleansing effect.
It goes without saying how terrifying the term "marrow cleansing" is. A person's innate talent is determined at birth, but this Living Tea Tree can enhance that talent later in life. It's no exaggeration to say that it defies fate.
She remembered that the Flying Cloud Sect had once discovered a living tea tree that was knee-high.
Only twenty-four tea trees were produced in total, and they are still kept in the Treasure Pavilion of the Flying Cloud Sect, where they are regarded as the sect's most precious treasures.
Although it only has a slight effect, given that the formula for the Marrow Cleansing Pill has been lost in the cultivation world, it is already the best thing to improve one's physique.
Moreover, if taken long-term, the effect might be similar to that of the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
The tea tree in front of her seemed endless, and she wondered how many tea leaves it could yield.
If we bring those tea leaves back to Ninghua Sect, will we still worry about their lack of talent and slow cultivation?
This is such a treasure trove!
No wonder such complex spells were designed.
If she guessed correctly, this should be another space superimposed on that flat ground.
They exist in the same place, yet do not interfere with each other.
If you don't find the entrance, you'll only see and enter that flat area.
Shen Sanruo was frantically planning in her mind how to send these things out.
The snake woman interrupted her, a slight smile playing on her red lips, "Do you believe what I meant by a win-win cooperation?"
“It’s a pleasure working with you.” She raised an eyebrow at the snake woman.
The snake woman added, "These are nothing compared to what I'm about to say. Come with me."
That's nothing?
Upon hearing this, she suppressed her restless hand and followed the snake woman's footsteps.
The snake woman explained to her as they walked.
"I've heard a rumor since I can remember."
"Rumor has it that this is the Star Plains you speak of, where there is an area that was sealed off by an ancient powerful being."
"The region is rich in treasures, and the spiritual energy is incredibly abundant."
The two arrived at a downward-sloping cave, just large enough for both of them to move forward.
Shen Sang could sense that the spiritual energy in the cave seemed even more concentrated.
She stepped into the cave and used fire to light her way.
“You’re right. My fight with the other snake demon wasn’t just about devouring it, but also about this treasure.”
"I have been searching for hundreds of years, and I and that snake demon discovered the entrance to the treasure one after the other. I originally wanted to resist the urge to eat it and cooperate with it, but that fool wanted to take the treasure for himself."
"There's no other way, I have to eat it. I hope you won't think I'm cruel, sister?" The snake woman blinked helplessly, her expression somewhat innocent like Xiao Shi's.
Shen Sangruo: ...
Even if she lived both of her lives together, she probably wouldn't have lived as long as the snake woman.
She could accept being called "sister" by Xiaoshi, but it felt a bit strange to be called "sister" by this snake woman.
After a moment of silence, she said, "You continue."
"Later, when I wanted to enter the treasure, the formation could not be activated. I have some knowledge of formations, and after some research, I found that only humans can activate the teleportation formation."
Shen Sanruo continued, "So you put on this disguise to lure me here and activate the formation?"
