Chapter 161 Huanhuan, that cunning fox, always makes him take the blame.
The two fought for a long time, but Zhong Lingxin dared not exert too much force, let alone use the explosive talisman, for fear that the battle area would be too large and damage the jade lotus bud.
Zhong Lingxin felt that this was not a solution, so she deliberately created several openings, knowing that the Golden Thread Snake could easily escape at its speed.
But the golden thread snake fought to the death and refused to retreat.
Zhong Lingxin was depressed. There should be something in the cave that the Golden Thread Snake had to guard. This thing should not be the Jade Lotus Bud. The Golden Thread Snake is obviously at a disadvantage now and will not risk its life for the Jade Lotus Bud.
But she saw a fourth-tier body-refining elixir, so there was no reason not to get her hands on it.
Fearing that the golden thread snake would damage the jade lotus bud, she had no choice but to speed up her attack. She unfurled her long sword, and golden spiritual power unleashed streaks of sword light, weaving a net of swords.
The sword net grew denser and tighter, gradually enveloping the golden thread snake and leaving scars on its body.
The golden snake was covered in blood and moved much slower, but it didn't retreat an inch. Its eyes flashed with a crazy light as it kept pouncing and biting at Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin hardened her heart, swallowed a Spirit-Replenishing Pill, and unleashed another net of swords towards the Golden Thread Serpent.
This time, Zhong Lingxin struck the snake, creating an extremely deep wound. The golden-thread snake appeared to have been severed at the waist; its upper body was no longer held high, but instead drooped considerably. At the same time, its lower body twisted wildly, but remained within three inches of its original position.
Zhong Lingxin seized the opportunity and launched another fierce attack.
The blood of the golden thread snake flowed down from the small crevice in the rock.
The golden thread snake could no longer maintain its balance, and several times, its belly almost flipped over.
Zhong Lingxin launched another fierce attack. Taking advantage of the golden snake's inability to turn over, a flying blade grazed the sword light and struck the snake's head.
The golden snake finally collapsed to the ground with a "thud," writhing helplessly in the crevice of the rock.
Zhong Lingxin dared not let it roll too much, fearing it might roll inside and damage the jade lotus bud. She flipped her hand and threw out a rope, which bound the golden thread snake, tossing it into the air. Then, she used her spiritual power to slice off the snake's head.
Then he threw out two jade boxes, one to catch the snake's head and the other to catch its body.
Zhong Lingxin calculated the time; she had been fighting for most of the day, and might soon alert the cultivators training nearby.
She hurriedly brandished her longsword, channeled her golden spiritual power, and quickly widened the crack in the rock, crawling inside to dig out all the jade lotus buds.
Deepest in the crevice, Zhong Lingxin saw several snake eggs.
This must be why the golden thread snake fought to the death and refused to retreat.
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Lingxin put all the snake eggs into the jade box.
She planned to return to her sect and give the snake eggs in exchange for some contribution points.
After carefully surveying the scene, Zhong Lingxin cleansed her aura, threw out an explosive talisman, and quickly fled into the distance.
Her master had taught her that no matter when or where, she should try her best to clean up the battlefield and leave no trace of her presence.
She glanced into the Nine-Story Pagoda and saw Zhong Chun creating a damp, dark, and stuffy environment by planting several immature jade lotus buds inside.
Huanhuan was drooling over the jade lotus bud, which frightened Zhong Chun, who repeatedly warned her that she had to wait until the jade lotus bud grew bigger and Xin Xin prepared other ingredients before she could use it for body tempering. She must not eat it indiscriminately.
Zhong Lingxin continued her journey towards Yuyang Spring.
After receiving Huanhuan's approval, Zhong Chun moved to another part of the Nine-Story Pagoda and began to create a suitable place for Yu Yangquan to survive.
Yuyang Spring, as the name suggests, is a spring with the character "yang" in its name. Drinking from this spring regularly can nourish one's spirit and ward off evil spirits.
He doesn't know yet whether Xin Xin can move Yu Yang Quan in, but it's always good to be prepared.
Recently, because of his hard work and the excellent management of the Nine-Story Pagoda, he has received a lot of praise from Xin Xin.
His back straightened because of Xin Xin's praise, and he dared to talk back to Huan Huan and Le Le.
Just like this time, he dared to tell Huanhuan not to steal the jade lotus buds.
In the past, Huanhuan would probably have had to order him to get the food in order to steal it, and then blame it on him, saying that he gave it to her.
Just think of Huanhuan, that cunning fox, who does all sorts of despicable things and always makes him take the blame.
From then on, he worked diligently every day, made good work plans, stood taller, and never again took the blame for that cunning fox.
Zhong Lingxin had no time to pay attention to Zhong Chun's little thoughts; at this moment, she was in a vast sea of flowers.
Bees were flying everywhere in the sea of flowers, and not far away, several cultivators dressed in Lingyun Sect disciple robes were watching Zhong Lingxin warily.
Zhong Lingxin knew that she had now arrived at Hundred Flowers Valley.
Hundred Flowers Valley is a famous tourist destination on Lingyun Peak, and many cultivators like to visit it when the flowers are in full bloom.
This place is where the disciples of Lingyun Sect come to release bees every year.
Most of the wildflower honey, a specialty of Lingyun Sect, is produced by bees kept here.
Zhong Lingxin touched her nose. She originally just wanted to pass by, take a quick photo, and be done with it.
But then she saw two Lingyun Sect disciples viciously cursing her on the mountain path.
I'm sorry to bother you.
She decided to steal some honey.
She always needed the sweetness of honey to soothe her anger.
The disciples of Lingyun Sect were still watching her warily.
To be precise, it was the disciples of the Lingyun Sect who were warily watching all the cultivators who came to Hundred Flowers Valley.
When a Lingyun Sect disciple walked by, Zhong Lingxin turned and left.
She had no intention of speaking to the disciples of the Lingyun Sect.
The Lingyun Sect disciple glanced at the departing person and curled his lip in disdain.
Every year, there are overconfident monks who try to steal their honey, without even realizing that their honey is not so easy to steal.
The sect has assigned powerful cultivators to monitor them.
Zhong Lingxin continued walking forward, calculating the distance. After crossing two more mountain peaks, she would reach Yuyang Spring.
At this time of year, the Jade Yang Spring is at its peak in terms of both spiritual and yang energy, attracting the most cultivators to draw water from it.
When Zhong Lingxin arrived, there was already a queue in front of her.
Several Lingyun Sect disciples were maintaining order: "Line up, line up, don't push, don't cut in line, three bottles per person, there are enough, don't push or grab."
Zhong Lingxin walked to the end of the line and quietly joined the queue.
Zhong Chun sighed, "Alas, Xin Xin, we can't take back the Jade Yang Spring anymore, I'm so heartbroken!"
Huanhuan was also annoyed. There were only three bottles, not even enough for her to rinse her mouth. She snapped at Zhong Chun in frustration, "Speak properly! What are you 'grumbling' about! Really!"
Zhong Lingxin was also very frustrated. She originally thought that even if she couldn't collect the entire Yuyang Spring, she would at least take away half of the spring water. But she could only take three bottles, which was not enough for her to make this trip.
She asked Zhong Chun, "Do you think there are any other spiritual springs on this mountain?"
Zhong Chun nodded: "Theoretically, yes, but you have to look for it. In my opinion, given how big Yuyang Spring is, there are very likely smaller springs in other places."
