At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

“The spiritual energy here is quite rich, making it easy to breed natural treasures.”

“I've explored every inch within a few miles using the Jade Mirror, and the spiritual energy ahead is the strongest.”

“Yes, that's right, there must be something extraordinary here!”

Su Hongying muttered to herself in a low voice.

Her pretty face immediately lit up with joy.

“It seems treasure hunting isn't as difficult as I thought.”

“Hehe, it's my turn to get rich this time.”

Su Hongying put away the treasure-seeking Jade Mirror and took out a crimson-lacquered long-tasseled spear from her storage bag.

She casually twirled the spear, and a burst of flames erupted from the tip.

In the blink of an eye.

The vegetation barrier blocking her path was completely incinerated.

Su Hongying's vision immediately cleared.

Looking into the distance.

A muddy path led straight into the depths of the jungle.

From this, it could be seen.

There was obviously a path here before.

It's just unknown what caused the path to suddenly become overgrown with vegetation, blocking it off.

Su Hongying didn't investigate further.

Holding the long-tasseled spear in one hand, she walked towards it.

She didn't notice.

In the bushes beside her, there was a palm-sized wooden doll, constantly watching her.

After walking for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

The path ahead was blocked again.

Clusters of dark green bone-corroding vines intertwined together, like surging waves.

Leaving not a single gap.

The sap of this type of plant contains potent poison.

Even cultivators would have to expend some effort to pass through it.

Su Hongying frowned slightly.

She took out the treasure-seeking Jade Mirror again and glanced at it.

After confirming the direction was correct.

She once again wielded the long-tasseled spear, using the prairie fire flames to burn all the obstacles in front of her to ashes.

Su Hongying didn't stop exploring, and continued forward firmly.

Clearing away the obstacles along the way time and time again.

Unknowingly.

She couldn't remember how many obstacles she had crossed.

After passing through the dense jungle, her vision suddenly opened up.

At that moment.

A unique purple color entered her eyes.

Su Hongying took a closer look.

It was a tree two zhang tall.

The bark was deep purple, like solidified ink jade, delicate and smooth.

The trunk was tall and smooth, as if it had been touched by the magic of time, exuding a faint sandalwood fragrance.

Each leaf shone with a glossy emerald green color.

The veins were clear and exquisitely carved, swaying gently in the wind, rustling.

This tree looked as if it had been carefully cared for every day.

Although the tree was not old, it revealed an extraordinary spiritual energy.

What attracted Su Hongying the most were the bean-sized seeds growing on the branches.

These purple sandalwood spirit beans were all small and exquisite.

The color ranged from light to dark, round and full, containing spiritual energy.

The surface emitted a weak but alluring spiritual energy fluctuation.

“Hmm, although this spirit tree isn't old, it's been very well cared for, being naturally nurtured here.”

“Let me see.”

Su Hongying approached while taking out a jade slip recording the effects of various spiritual plants.

She looked intently, muttering to herself:

“Purple sandalwood spirit beans mature in two years, the older they are, the more purple the color.”

Her eyebrows rose slightly, and her face was filled with joy.

“Hey! It seems I've come at just the right time.”

Su Hongying reached out to grab the purple sandalwood spirit beans.

Just then.

A sound of rushing wind came whistling from behind.

Su Hongying's heart tightened immediately.

Ignoring the spirit plant, she quickly retreated.

With a whoosh.

A streak of red light flashed in front of her.

Causing the fine hairs on the girl's forehead to flutter.

The red light missed its target and didn't pursue.

It circled around the purple sandalwood spirit tree with a certain spirituality, as if guarding it.

Su Hongying took a closer look and realized.

The sudden red light was actually a dark red helmet that was still spinning.

As the helmet-shaped magic weapon slowly rotated, a faint bloody smell gradually dissipated in the air.

“This tree has been carefully cultivated by me and has been cared for for a long time.”

“I hope fellow Daoist, please don't try to seize what I love.”

A calm voice sounded from behind.

Su Hongying turned to look.

She saw a figure in a light blue robe standing on the path she had come from.

This person's clothes were simple and extremely plain, like a poor and penniless rogue cultivator.

Apart from an unremarkable storage bag at his waist, he had no other eye-catching magic weapon decorations on his body.

This person wore a bamboo hat and a thin veil over his face.

Wrapping himself up tightly.

Su Hongying could only tell from his voice that it was a man.

As the most dazzling rising star of the four great rogue cultivator families.

Su Hongying had always carried a sense of arrogance since birth.

How could she, with her fiery temperament, endure the embarrassment of almost having her head chopped off earlier?

“This tree was planted by you?”

“This is the wilderness, how do you prove it?”

With anger pent up in her chest, Su Hongying didn't immediately explode.

Her bright eyes darted around, looking for something.

Judging from the other party's clothing.

She couldn't determine this person's identity.

Su Hongying had seen all the identity tokens and sect emblems of all the sects nearby.

This person didn't have any, indicating that he wasn't an outer disciple of those sects.

The other party hadn't recognized her until now, indicating that he wasn't a member of the four great rogue cultivator families either.

Then there was only one possibility left.

This person seemed to be a lone rogue cultivator without even a family.

In the ranking of status levels within the Jiuhua County area.

At the top of the pyramid, the highest and most superior were the cultivators of the Human Emperor Palace.

Slightly lower were the inner disciples of the three great sects.

Further down were the outer disciples who weren't qualified to enter the county city and were dispatched to guard the spiritual veins in various places.

Next were rogue cultivator families like the Su family who didn't have spiritual veins and didn't want to be annexed and controlled by the sects.

At the bottom were the lone wolf rogue cultivators who didn't even have families and were weak and isolated.

In the wild, putting aside cultivation realm.

When cultivators with lower status levels encountered those with higher status levels.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they would often choose to behave themselves.

Su Hongying's divine sense, used to probe the other party's cultivation level, all disappeared like a mud ox entering the sea, without a trace.

However, after obtaining this result.

She wasn't flustered at all.

She became even more certain of her guess.

This must be a rogue cultivator without a background, otherwise he wouldn't be hiding his head and showing his tail like this, afraid to be seen.

Furthermore.

The other party's cultivation realm didn't seem high, and might even be completely inferior to her.

This could be seen from the helmet-shaped magic weapon.

High-realm cultivators, as long as they had a little bit of cultivation resources in their hands, would replace them with magic weapons that matched their own realm.

Who would be willing to use this lowest-level first-grade low-grade magic weapon?

Therefore.

Su Hongying, who believed she had already seen through the other party's identity, behaved quite arrogantly.

Without waiting for Li Lan to say anything more.

Su Hongying flipped her wrist, shook a spear flower, and rushed towards him with an imposing aura.

“Mother said. Everything in the cultivation world is ownerless, and should naturally belong to those who are capable of taking it.”

“This thing was discovered by this lady first, if you want it, beat me first.”
