Ji Jiuying was a little puzzled by the changes in everyone's expressions.
"N-nothing," Wen Chao said calmly.
Since they didn't want to talk about it, she naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.
Ji Jiuying looked around but didn't know what to choose, so she finally opened the spatial barrier and let Xie Huo choose a plate of unknown seeds as a reward.
Under Ji Jiuying's persistent questioning, Xie Huo finally revealed the origin of the seed: the seed of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, one of the Ten Divine Woods. It can be worn to nourish the soul and primordial spirit, gradually strengthening the divine consciousness. It can also house the soul and prevent the divine soul from dissipating.
According to Xie Huo, the Soul-Nourishing Wood needs to be irrigated with spiritual spring water, which explains why the Wen family couldn't grow it.
As for the beast egg, its species is currently unknown, and it has not yet shown any signs of hatching, but Ji Jiuying's intuition tells her that its grade is not too low.
The next day, as dawn broke and the sun rose in the east.
Qingling brought breakfast out of the kitchen and saw Ji Jiuying standing in the yard.
"Miss, you're awake. I've just made breakfast." When she got up in the morning, she saw that there was no movement in Ji Jiuying's room, so she assumed that Ji Jiuying was still sleeping and didn't disturb her.
Ji Jiuying hummed in agreement, then sat down at the stone table, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat.
Noticing that Qingling was acting strangely, Ji Jiuying put down her chopsticks and asked, "Qingling? What's making you so happy?"
“Miss, this morning I heard that the Second Miss spent the whole night looking for ten earthworms and ten crickets... and I also heard that she was vomiting all night.”
"Miss, will that really cure the poison on her face?" Qingling asked excitedly.
"Of course not." Ji Jiuying looked at her excited expression.
"Ah?" If that doesn't solve the problem, then the second young lady will definitely come to cause trouble for the young lady again today. Qingling couldn't help but worry.
"Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. Actually, even if she doesn't eat those bugs, she'll detoxify herself when the time comes." Ji Jiuying couldn't bear to scare her anymore when she saw her worried look.
"Miss, what if the Second Miss complains to the Third Prince? The Third Prince's power..." Qingling's heart jumped again.
“She wouldn’t. If she were bullied by other spiritual practitioners, she would definitely ask the Third Prince to help her get revenge. But is it something to be proud of for a top ten genius on the genius list and a genius girl from Cangyue Kingdom to be poisoned by a good-for-nothing and not even be able to cure her?” Ji Jiuying said.
Qingling suddenly realized, "So she can only suffer this loss in silence!"
"Who told me to be a good-for-nothing?" Ji Jiuying shrugged, looking like she was entitled to be a good-for-nothing.
Hearing this from the shadows, Yingyue gasped, thinking to herself, "So cunning, so incredibly cunning! She's completely outmaneuvered everyone."
The Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
"Master." Yin Han appeared behind Gong Mingyue.
"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?" Gong Mingyue asked indifferently.
"Master, all we found out was that Madam Feng was rescued by Ji Chenyuan in the Monster Forest, married him not long after, gave birth to Ji Jiuying before she was even a month pregnant, and then claimed to be dead. She appeared out of thin air and disappeared just as suddenly, leaving no trace whatsoever. There's nothing we can find."
Appearing out of thin air? Giving birth to Jiu'er prematurely? And possessing a seal that doesn't belong to this continent.
Recalling her experiences in the Ji family and Ji Chenyuan's attitude towards her, Gong Mingyue had a guess in his mind.
"Okay, I understand. Go investigate the Third Prince's businesses and influence, and create some trouble for him so he won't be too idle lately." A cold glint flashed in Gong Mingyue's eyes.
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys." Yin Han thought to himself, "This Third Prince is in trouble."
"Oh dear~ Who has angered our peerless Imperial Preceptor?" A man dressed in a magnificent purple brocade robe appeared in the void. He was extremely handsome, with a face as white as jade and a smile as gentle as a spring breeze.
Without any hesitation, he put his hand on Gong Mingyue's shoulder.
"Don't you want your hands anymore?" A powerful force repelled Si Yu's hand.
"How stingy! You won't even let me touch you," Si Yu said, completely unconcerned.
"Well, this is a pill that I painstakingly gathered to help you refine and suppress the poison in your body," Si Yu said.
"No need." With that, she tossed the antidote pills and prescription that Ji Jiuying had given her to Si Yu.
Si Yu took the pill, smelled it, then swallowed it. A moment later, she picked up the prescription and looked at it. The handwriting was neat and looked like a woman's.
"Brilliant! Brilliant! The three toxins counteract each other, and the Crimson Crystal Mushroom and the Mystic Ice Flower also counteract each other. How come I didn't think of this method?"
"This pill can relieve the toxins in your body without any side effects. It's perfect. The person who made this pill must have extraordinary medical skills." Si Yu's eyes lit up. She really wanted to meet the owner of this prescription right away.
"Maybe you're just a bit stupid!" Gong Mingyue said.
"Hey, hey, I don't agree with what you're saying."
"Wait, I've calculated that the only thing that could threaten your life is this poison. So, the only person who can cure the poison in your body is the one who smelled your unique fragrance." Si Yu was as excited as if she had discovered a new continent.
"However, Crimson Crystal Fungus and Mystic Ice Flower are not easy to find. I'll calculate their approximate location later."
"By the way, which family does that woman belong to?" Si Yu squinted at Gong Mingyue.
"Is this difficult for the head of your Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?"
Si Yu; ······
In the following days, Ji Fengyan didn't cause any trouble. Presumably, this incident was enough to make her feel nauseous for several days.
Ji Jiuying did nothing but cultivate; the rich spiritual energy from three hundred high-grade spirit stones was indeed incomparable to that of ordinary spirit stones.
After several days of hard work, Ji Jiuying has cultivated the "Divine Control Technique" to the second stage. She felt that her realm was loosening again. Thinking that she had advanced too quickly recently, she suppressed that feeling and decided that it was not too late to consolidate her foundation before advancing further.
He channeled his spiritual energy, and a red light condensed in his palm, its color deeper than before, appearing quite powerful.
Meanwhile, the wood-type spiritual root was also growing stronger.
"Hmm~ Her spiritual power has grown quite a bit, and her cultivation has reached the second level of a Great Spirit Master." Evil Fire was now increasingly optimistic about Ji Jiuying, but its pride would never admit it.
Ji Jiuying nodded. "The speed is alright."
"This is more than just 'okay'!" Xie Huo exclaimed, "People on lower-level continents sometimes spend over ten years cultivating to reach this level, and you've already become a second-star Great Spirit Master in less than ten days."
Ji Jiuying remained noncommittal this season. Since wood-type spiritual roots can be cultivated, then she would continue to cultivate wood-type spiritual techniques.
Evil Fire stared at her in disbelief. The talent activated by the Wood element was actually the Origin of Wood. Her luck was simply too good.
As the name suggests, she can cultivate all wood-based spiritual arts, which are rooted in the essence of wood...
Countless wood-based spiritual techniques appeared in Ji Jiuying's mind, but her current strength was limited, and she could only cultivate two techniques. In the end, she chose the Language of Nature and the Power of Manipulation.
