"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Hearing that, the Camphor Tree Spirit's face turned ugly as if his plot had been exposed. "Sigh, to tell you the truth, I already knew about the ivy demon's existence …"
"F * ck, are you trying to get me killed by lying to me?" Qin Shi flew into a rage after getting the confirmation. His eyes were cold.
"No, no, no. Don't misunderstand. I hid it because I was afraid that you wouldn't agree if I told you the truth!" The Camphor Tree Spirit explained hurriedly.
Qin Shi's expression was ugly as he narrowed his eyes. "Then let me ask you. Since you knew, why didn't you do it yourself?"
The Camphor Tree Spirit hesitated before telling the truth. "Sigh … You might not know this, but I haven't cultivated a human form yet, so it's inconvenient for me to move on the ground … Moreover, you've seen the ivy demon's strength. It's almost on par with me, and it has a very powerful charm technique …"
"Charm technique?"
Qin Shi licked his chapped lips and snorted in confusion.
"Yes, the ivy demon isn't very powerful, but it has cultivated a charm illusion technique that can disturb one's mind …" The Camphor Tree Spirit explained. Its roots pointed at Luo Tingting who was hiding behind Qin Shi. "Your little sister was tricked by the charm technique to come here."
"Oh?"
Qin Shi didn't expect that. "Then why am I fine?"
"My little friend, your mental strength is strong, and your divine sense is stable. You shouldn't be affected!" The Camphor Tree Spirit explained.
Hearing that, Qin Shi suddenly remembered that the Camphor Tree Spirit had indeed used its mental strength when they were on the ground. He thought to himself, So that's what happened. I didn't expect mental strength to have such a wonderful use. I should pay more attention to it in the future.
Understanding the whole story, Qin Shi didn't calm down. He reprimanded, "So, you lied to me on purpose and used me to help you get rid of the ivy demon, right?"
Knowing that it was guilty, the Camphor Tree Spirit lost its confidence. "My little friend, don't be angry. It's not like you didn't benefit from helping me. This is a third-grade spirit herb, the Spirit-Healing Lily."
As soon as it finished speaking, a few Camphor Tree Spirit's branches moved in the cave. They searched the depths of the cliff and pulled out a spirit herb that was glowing faintly.
"It's really a Spirit Healing Lily?"
Smelling the rich fragrance of the herbs, Qin Shi's rage subsided a little. He took the Spirit Healing Lily and said coldly: "Hmph, for the sake of this Spirit Healing Lily, I will not lower myself to your level!"
After saying that, Qin Shi didn't stay in the crypt.
Holding Luo Tingting's hand, he retraced their steps and walked out of the cave.
Walking out of the cave, he wanted to leave immediately and head in the direction of Rainbow Cloud City.
But at this moment, the Camphor Tree Spirit stretched out its branches again and blocked Qin Shi's way. It said anxiously, "Young friend, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I still have a request …"
"Anything else?"
Having learned his lesson, Qin Shi, who did not have a good impression of the Camphor Tree Spirit, smacked his lips and said unhappily, "Why do you want to lie to me again?"
"Err …" The Camphor Tree Spirit hurriedly shook his head. "Little friend, you must be joking. I have been cultivating for a thousand years now, and I'm only one step away from casting a human form … I hope you can fulfill my wish!"
"I'll fulfill your wish?"
Qin Shi slapped his thigh and reprimanded somewhat speechlessly, "Help your sister?
I was almost killed by an old monster like you just now, and you still have the cheek to beg me?
Moreover, I don't know how to cast a human form. This is not negotiable! "
After saying that, Qin Shi turned to leave.
"Little friend, didn't you want to find the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit?
As long as you help me cast a human form, I'll tell you where to find the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit! "Seeing that Qin Shi was leaving, the Camphor Tree Spirit anxiously shouted.
Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit?
The four words made Qin Shi's body tremble slightly. His eyes narrowed as he turned around and asked cautiously, "How did you know?"
"Have you forgotten?
This old man is Bai Xiaosheng! "The Camphor Tree Spirit did not answer directly and only laughed.
Because of this, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and became more and more curious about the Camphor Tree Spirit. He thought to himself, This old monster seems to know how to read minds. No matter what I'm thinking, it will be seen through in front of him. The herb that healed the soul, and now the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit. What is going on?
Of course, if the Camphor Tree Spirit did not say, he could not do anything about it.
"How do you want me to help you?" After hesitating for a while, Qin Shi still asked seriously.
Regarding the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit, he had been racking his brains for the past half a year. Back in the Lihuo Sect, he had used all kinds of methods, but there was no news at all. Now that there was finally news of the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit, whether it was real or fake, he would not miss it.
After all, this matter involved Jade In The Book's safety, so Qin Shi would definitely not hesitate.
"Mortal Transformation Pill!"
The Camphor Tree Spirit took a deep breath and said.
"Mortal Transformation Pill?" Qin Shi frowned, it was the first time he had heard of such a thing, "What is that?"
"The Mortal Transformation Pill is an upper third grade pill. It has no effect on humans, but it can help wild beasts refine into human form!" The Camphor Tree Spirit paused, its roots swaying on the ground as it explained.
"Upper third grade pill?"
Qin Shi's eyes turned serious, but he did not immediately agree. Instead, he leaned against the tree trunk beside him as his thoughts spun rapidly.
Any pill above third grade would attract experts from all over to fight over it. It was a treasure that could only be found by luck.
Seeing that Qin Shi did not reply, the Camphor Tree Spirit hurriedly urged, "Young friend, don't worry. As long as you help me find the Mortal Transformation Pill, I will naturally tell you the location of the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit!"
Qin Shi hesitated for a moment.
The temptation of the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit was indeed very great, but where could he find the Mortal Transformation Pill?
The only alchemist he knew was Lin Yu. Putting aside the fact that Lin Yu was not here, even if Lin Yu was here, Lin Yu was only a small second grade alchemist. It was impossible for him to refine the Mortal Transformation Pill.
Moreover, the precious medicinal ingredients required to refine a third grade medicinal pill were all priceless. To a wanderer like him who was out and about, who was even more clean than his face, it was simply difficult on top of difficult.
"Young friend, I know how precious the Mortal Transformation Pill is. It will be difficult to find it in a short time, so you don't need to be anxious. As long as you can help this old man find the Mortal Transformation Pill within a year, it will be fine!" The Camphor Tree Spirit seemed to have seen through Qin Shi's dilemma and added.
"A year, huh?"
Qin Shi hesitated for a moment, secretly calculating in his heart, "Anyway, it won't do me any harm. Why don't I agree to this old monster first? Who knows what will happen in a year's time?
Who knows, maybe this young master will rise? "
Thinking of this, he nodded in agreement, "Alright!"
Seeing that Qin Shi had agreed, the Camphor Tree Spirit was overjoyed. It stretched out a sturdy root and handed it to Qin Shi, "Young friend, this old man has been living in this barren forest for many years and doesn't have any precious treasures. This is this old man's Natal Root. It has the effect of healing injuries and can even be said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life. I will give it to you!"
Towards this kind of thing, Qin Shi was naturally happy to accept. If he let go of such a big, fat goose that was already in his mouth, it would be too unbecoming of Qin Shi.
As the saying goes, it would be a waste not to take advantage of an advantage.
"At least this old monster has some conscience."
Accepting the Natal Root and feeling the gentle spiritual energy within, Qin Shi's eyes flashed with joy. Afterwards, he didn't stay in the forest for long. After exchanging a few words with the Camphor Tree Spirit, he left with Luo Tingting.
Holding Luo Tingting's hand, he followed the direction that the Camphor Tree Spirit had pointed out and headed southeast. Rainbow Cloud City was at the end of the forest.
Along the way, they occasionally encountered a few small wild beasts that didn't open their eyes. With the help of the Evil Totem, they all became Qin Shi's desserts. After a series of refining spiritual energy, his strength was completely saturated at the early stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm.
Clenching his fists, Qin Shi felt the abundant power and thought to himself, "Now, I have stabilized at the early stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm, and with the Evil Totem purifying my spiritual energy, if I encounter White Jade Soup again, even without the Wraith Sign, I have the confidence to fight him!"
Thinking happily, Qin Shi held Luo Tingting's hand and walked along the forest.
It had to be said that Luo Tingting was a little mischievous. She, who had never left home before, was curious about everything she saw along the way.
With her around, the journey was a little more interesting. His heart that had been heavy because of Qin Xue Xin gradually relaxed.
Whoosh!
But at this moment, a weak gasp entered Qin Shi's ears.
"Someone's there?"
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a haggard woman in the forest not far away.
There were a few bloody wounds on the woman's body, and she was leaning against an ancient tree with a pale face.
"Sister?"
Seeing the woman, Luo Tingting was happy!
"Sister?"
Qin Shi was stunned. He compared the two women and found that they looked very similar. He thought to himself, "It seems that the Luo family's genes are really good. They are both stunning beauties. In the future, if I have a son, I can arrange a marriage with the Luo family. It would be a good choice!
"Sigh, I'm such a loving father!"
Thinking of this, Qin Shi was amused by his own thoughts. Then, without delay, he held Luo Tingting's hand and walked toward the woman.
"Tingting?"
When the woman saw the two of them, she was surprised at first. Then, her eyes were filled with vigilance and coldness. She suddenly stood up and approached Qin Shi with a sharp dagger. She said coldly, "Who are you?"
"What!
The middle stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm? "
As the dagger closed in, Qin Shi was just about to dodge, but before he could move his body, a vast pressure locked his four limbs, making him unable to move at all. He could only allow the dagger to be held against his neck.
Being held by the dagger, Qin Shi exclaimed, "This little girl looks so ordinary, but she has such terrifying strength?"
Luo Tingting's face turned pale. "Sister, sister, please stop. Don't hit Brother Shi. He saved me!"
Hearing this, the woman hesitated for a moment. Then, her eyes seemed to pierce through Qin Shi. She could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, but her tone was still cold. "You saved Tingting?"
"Nonsense, your sister said it herself!
Could it be false? "
Being questioned, Qin Shi was a little displeased. He cursed in his heart, "In this day and age, kindness is evil. Do good deeds deserve to die?"
He did not know how many times this had happened.
After hesitating for a moment, the woman withdrew her dagger and her cold face. She humbly said to Qin Shi, "I'm really sorry, young master. I thought you were from the Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps!"
As the spiritual pressure faded away, Qin Shi breathed a sigh of relief. "Hmph, you're just a beauty. If you were a man, I would teach you a good lesson!"
"You're right, young master!"
Luo Tingting's sister was not displeased by Qin Shi's words. Instead, she forced a smile and said, "I'm Luo Xuexian. Thank you for taking care of me!"
"Forget it, I don't fight with women. You can call me Qin Shi."
Qin Shi waved his hand, indicating that it was okay. Then, his eyes wandered over Luo Xuexian's injuries and said, "Say, what happened to your injuries?"
"I …" Luo Xuexian pursed her red lips and was about to speak.
But at this time, before her voice fell, Qin Shi's pupils suddenly shrank. He suddenly turned his head and interrupted Luo Xuexian. He looked at the southeast corner and said, "Dodge!"
