Little Phoenix then realized what was happening, "You little devil, how dare you scare me!"
"It's clearly you who's a coward~"
"No way!"
······
"Alright, you two really can't stand not bickering for a day." Ji Jiuying gently tapped Xiao Huang'er's head.
As she has been constantly advancing and breaking through in recent times, Xiao Huang'er has also grown quite a bit.
"Evil Fire, what are you doing?"
"As the Cloud Butterfly Dreamland advanced, coupled with the soul energy emitted by the Soul Nourishing Tree, I gradually condensed a soul body." A flash of joy crossed Xie Huo's eyes.
So that's how it is. The Cloud Butterfly Dream was originally one with her, and the Evil Fire was the guardian beast of the Cloud Butterfly Dream, so it naturally advanced along with her.
This means that it will eventually condense into its true form in the near future.
Ji Jiuying picked up the Heavenly Punishment Manual and looked through the spiritual techniques related to the metal spiritual root and the lightning attribute.
Feeling they had seen enough, they took Xiaohuang'er out of the Monster Forest to search for a spiritual medicine that could suppress the poison in Gong Mingyue's body.
Ji Jiuying squatted down, caressing the flowers and plants, gently forming a magic seal, and closing her eyes to listen to the whispers of the forest!
Along the way, Ji Jiuying occasionally encountered spirit beasts, which she easily dealt with thanks to her agile skills. She also discovered many spirit herbs, which she picked and planted in her space.
Since I had the idea of making cocktails last time, I have picked a lot of spiritual fruits along the way and put them in my space.
In the evenings, during my free time, I make various spirit fruit wines and cocktails in my space.
She was quite lucky this time; she didn't encounter any of those oddballs, and the medicinal herbs she found weren't particularly rare. She gathered them all in just two days.
The sky was getting rather dark, and Ji Jiuying quickly arrived at the outer edge of the Monster Forest.
The outskirts of the Warcraft Forest were quite lively. There were people coming out of the forest, mercenaries preparing to enter for quests, and some daring spiritual practitioners venturing into the forest alone for training...
Some vendors who buy spirit beast cores and elixirs saw Ji Jiuying running up from the Demon Beast Forest alone and asked, "Miss, we buy spirit beast cores at high prices, are you selling?"
Another person ran up and asked, "Miss, are you selling spirit herbs at a high price?"
Ji Jiuying refused them all. She needed the spiritual medicine herself, and she didn't want to reveal too much about the spirit beast core.
After all, this place is a mixed bag.
Ji Jiuying randomly picked a noodle shop and said, "Waiter, a bowl of vegetarian noodles, please."
Soon the waiter brought over a bowl.
Just as Ji Jiuying was about to leave, "Ouch!" A drunken old man was pushed down in front of her by several people.
The old man blocked her way, and Ji Jiuying frowned slightly.
"You old codger, what are you doing drinking if you don't have money?"
"Old man, I just want to drink! Your wine isn't good!" The old man pouted, acting like a rascal.
"Hey~ You old geezer, you drink my wine and don't pay for it, and you even complain that my wine doesn't taste good?"
"In this outer area of the Monster Forest, everyone knows that my Yang San's wine is the most fragrant and purest. How dare you say that my wine is not good? I think you're just being stubborn and will have to suffer the consequences!"
The man rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach the old man a lesson.
"It just doesn't taste good! And I can't even say so." This old man is really fearless.
The man wasn't going to waste any more words with him. "You old geezer, brothers, beat him to a pulp!"
At this point, more and more people gathered around to watch.
Some people gloated, some felt sorry for the old man, but no one stood up for him.
"I'll pay for his drinks."
A clear, bell-like voice rang out from the crowd.
As everyone looked, they saw a young girl in a long black dress, her hair tied up high at the back of her head, her face covered with a black veil, revealing only a pair of clear, pool-like eyes. She had no excessive adornments, yet exuded an aura of composure.
The men exchanged glances. All they wanted was their money back for the drinks, and since someone was willing to pay for them, that was the best thing that could happen.
"Twenty high-grade spirit stones."
Without saying a word, Ji Jiuying took out twenty high-grade spirit stones and gave them to them.
"You old fool, you're lucky today!" After saying that, he glanced at Ji Jiuying and left.
Everyone realized there was no hope and dispersed.
Ji Jiuying then left as well. Noticing someone following her, Ji Jiuying quickened her pace, and the person behind her also quickened their pace.
No matter how hard Ji Jiuying tried to shake him off, she couldn't. She frowned and thought, "Will this ever end?"
"Who is it? Come out." Ji Jiuying simply stopped moving.
The person behind him paused for a moment, then Shanshan stepped out. "Hehe~ Girl, thank you for paying for the wine for this old man."
Ji Jiuying didn't answer him. Instead, she narrowed her phoenix eyes and sized up the old man. Even Ling Jiang could easily shake her off, but this old man had followed her for so long without her being able to shake him off.
This old man is no simpleton. What does he want by following her all this way? She's not naive enough to think he just wants to thank her.
"What exactly do you want from following me? Don't tell me you just want to say thank you!" Ji Jiuying asked coldly.
"Hehe~ Little girl, being too smart isn't cute at all." The old man picked up the wine jug and took a big gulp of wine.
"Little girl, my name is Yu Bugui. I see you have excellent aptitude and are a good seedling for cultivation. Would you like to be my disciple?" The old man invited her with a smile, his eyes shining as if he were looking at a treasure.
"What are the benefits of being your apprentice?" Ji Jiuying asked with a half-smile in her eyes.
"There are so many benefits! I've never taken on a disciple in my entire life. If you become my disciple, you'll be my only disciple. You can walk around the entire Star Academy with your head held high. You can use the cultivation pool in the academy as you please without paying any fees, and you can freely enter and leave the herb garden to pick herbs..." The old man said a whole bunch of things with great pride.
Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow. Star Academy? Judging from his tone, he must have a high status in the academy.
"How about it, little girl? Aren't you tempted?" the old man said with a sly smile.
"Sounds pretty good!" Ji Jiuying nodded and smiled calmly.
"So, girl, you're willing?"
Ji Jiuying was indeed quite tempted. In any case, she would be going to Star Academy soon anyway, and the fact that her martial arts skills came about inexplicably inevitably led to speculation.
Let her worship for now; she won't lose anything anyway.
Ji Jiuying smiled and said, "Master, please accept my bow!"
Ji Jiuying bowed to the old man.
"Oh, good, good! My good disciple, please get up quickly!" Yu Bugui excitedly pulled Ji Jiuying up.
Ji Jiuying noticed a heavy object in her hand. "What's this?"
"This is a token specially made for my personal disciple. It can also protect you. Isn't it cool?" Yu Bugui looked at Ji Jiuying expectantly.
"Oh? I've already become your apprentice, so you're not going to just give me a token, are you?" Ji Jiuying stretched out her hand, staring at Yu Bugui with burning eyes.
Just as Yu Bugui was in a good mood, he took out a light blue lotus flower from his storage ring and gave it to Ji Jiuying.
"Blue Lotus!" Ji Jiuying exclaimed in surprise.
