Chapter 16 Are all immortals this strange?
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Luo quietly pulled Chun He away and headed towards the location of the Seven-Colored Lotus. On the way, she kept nodding to herself, feeling quite pleased with herself.
"The more I think about it, the better I feel that my method is. It solves all the problems without using a single soldier!"
Chunhe remained silent, still in shock and unable to recover for a long time. The scene she had just witnessed had had a profound impact on her.
When Su Luo and her companions arrived at their destination, as expected, only a lone Seven-Colored Lotus stood in the pond; its bodyguard, the Rakshasa Crocodile, was nowhere to be found.
"Chunhe, keep an eye out for what's going on around me. I'm going to get the flowers."
"Okay, sister..."
Su Luo walked to the edge of the pond, took out a transformation talisman, and the talisman glowed and turned into a small boat that landed on the pond. The moment it landed, it was as light as a falling leaf, without splashing a single drop of water.
Seeing this scene, Chunhe's eyes were no longer moved.
I'm used to it; my sister is like a fairy, she always pulls out some strange but useful things...
Su Luo leaped into the small boat, rowed to the vicinity of the Seven-Colored Lotus, wrapped her hands in cloth, and then began to pull the Seven-Colored Lotus upwards.
She had to act quickly, as the small boat conjured by the transformation talisman could only last for half an hour at most.
Unlike Lu Gou, Su Luo didn't ruthlessly destroy the flower. In the novel, that guy not only picked the Seven-Colored Lotus, but also burned the root part, which was such a waste.
She wanted to uproot the Seven-Colored Lotus and try to cultivate it herself to see how many flowers it could bloom. Although the Seven-Colored Lotus only blooms once every fifty years, it didn't matter. Anyway, she had already established her foundation and had a long lifespan, so she could wait.
Hehe... She really makes the most of everything.
The Seven-Colored Lotus, which was being pulled upwards by Su Luo, couldn't speak. If it could, it would probably spit out, "Then I really thank you!"
In this way, Su Luo easily uprooted the Seven-Colored Lotus, wiped the mud off its body, and put it into her storage bag without any unexpected incidents.
After thinking for a moment, Su Luo took out a small wooden bucket and used magic to collect most of the water and silt from the pond.
The fact that the Seven-Colored Lotus grows so well in this water shows that it likes the soil environment here. If she brings more pond water and silt, she will definitely be able to perfectly replicate a small pond.
Fortunately, this is a cultivation world, where all kinds of magical treasures and spiritual artifacts are available. And the original owner happened to have a storage wooden barrel here, which can hold several liters of things.
When Chunhe saw that Su Luo had finished picking the lotus flowers and was still not leaving, even taking the water and mud from the pond, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Are all immortals this strange?
Half an hour before, Su Luo was finally satisfied. She quickly rowed over and flew ashore. The next moment, the light on the small boat suddenly disappeared, and it returned to its original form and floated on the water. Soon, the pattern on the talisman was soaked in water and became a mess.
When Su Luo came up, she was carrying several fish that she had caught when the water was drained. She handed them to Chunhe and said, "Here, put them in the basket. You can take them back and make fish soup for your grandfather."
"Thank you sister!"
Chunhe took the fish and, thinking of the milky white, fragrant fish soup, couldn't help but swallow. She was no longer speechless.
That's wonderful! The fish soup is delicious! Grandpa is weak, so this fish soup is perfect for nourishing him! Fairy Sister is such a kind person, so what if she's a little strange!
Once the mission was complete, the two left immediately, walking slowly along the way, stopping occasionally to pick spiritual plants or fruits.
If it weren't for the fact that dawn was breaking and the demons were beginning to awaken, Su Luo would not have been willing to leave.
There's no way around it, there are just too many spiritual fruits here! So many spiritual fruits are hanging heavily on the branches, unpicked, it's such a waste!
There were also many spiritual plants that Su Luo recognized on the ground. They were growing very well, each one fresh and vibrant, making one eager to try them.
Before leaving Fanjing Mountain, Su Luo made a decision—she would spend the next few days fleecing Fanjing Mountain!
With Chunhe's buff and her concealment talisman, Fanjingshan is in the bag!
After saying goodbye to Chunhe at the entrance, Su Luo waited for a while, estimating that the little girl was almost home, before flying on her sword towards the restaurant.
Standing on the sword, she realized she had forgotten to buy a flying device. Thinking of Fan Jing Mountain, which was full of treasures, Su Luo thought for a moment and decided to buy the flying device in a few days.
"sleepy……"
She yawned widely, feeling incredibly sleepy as soon as she relaxed, and all she wanted to do was go back to sleep.
Not long after Su Luo's figure disappeared into the sky, a strange black shadow jumped down from the tree, accompanied by a cloud-winged bird.
The cloud-winged bird chirped a few times in the direction the girl had left, and the black-robed youth seemed to understand what it was saying, responding with a cheerful sound.
“You’re right. She can come and go freely in such a dangerous place; she’s really capable. Su Luo, she always manages to impress me. Back at Tianyi Sect, she wasn’t this clever at all; I couldn’t see through her tricks at all…”
The cloud-winged bird flapped its wings and circled the boy a few times.
"Could it be that she was hiding her true abilities all along?" As he spoke, the boy's eyes blazed with a morbid, chilling fervor.
"This is so interesting! Su Luo, I'm starting to get impatient to turn you into a puppet and keep you by my side..."
Su Luo was flying on her sword when, for some reason, a sudden chill ran down her spine, causing her to instinctively turn around.
But behind him was only a pitch-black sky, nothing at all.
illusion?
Su Luo shrank back uncomfortably, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu, as if someone was watching her. But she had already left the Tianyi Sect, so who would be watching her?
What a hell...
Without further thought, Su Luo quickly took out a flying talisman and sped back to the restaurant.
For the next three days, Su Luo and Chun He went to Fanjing Mountain every morning to pick spiritual plants and fruits, and there were no abnormalities on their return journey.
The terrifying feeling of being pricked by a needle that day seemed to be just her imagination; she never felt it again.
Now, Su Luo and her companion are so engrossed in picking that they don't even look up.
Su Luo was not picky and picked everything, including spiritual fruits and plants. She even collected a few spiritual fruit trees, thinking of trying to grow them on the island in the future.
Chunhe mainly harvests various spiritual plants.
After learning that the value of spiritual plants was dozens or even hundreds of times that of spiritual fruits, she carefully compared them with the "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Plants" given to her by Su Luo, searching for various spiritual plants that she had previously dug up, and each time she would collect two or three baskets before stopping.
Most of the spiritual plants were sent to the medicine shops in Biyue Town to be sold, while Chunhe would keep a small portion to try planting. The sold spiritual plants could generally earn her tens or even hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones, making Chunhe's smile never fade; she would wake up laughing every night.
During this time, Chunhe's grandfather had already heard about Su Luo from Chunhe and knew about her abilities. As soon as he saw her, he kept thanking her, which frightened Su Luo so much that she waved her hands repeatedly and explained.
“Chunhe has helped me a lot too; we help each other! Without Chunhe, I wouldn’t have been able to enter Fanjing Mountain and pick the spiritual plant I wanted. You don’t need to do this!”
But the old man was stubborn and wouldn't listen to her explanation. He thought she was a great philanthropist, and almost every time he saw Su Luo, he would mention how much kindness he and Chunhe had received, and he would also warmly invite her into his house as a guest.
Su Luo couldn't refuse, so she brought more gifts and tonics to visit the elderly, hoping they could recover their health. This touched both the old woman and the young man to tears.
And so the two of them picked for three days, walking and picking as they went, until they approached the inner perimeter of Fanjing Mountain and saw a shocking scene.
Now, the place where Su Luo pasted the talismans is no longer recognizable as it used to be.
All the trees here have collapsed, and the flowers and plants look as if they have been blown away by the wind. There are leaves and pebbles everywhere on the ground. Several Rakshasa crocodiles lie motionless on the ground, their bodies covered with wounds. Even two Rakshasa crocodiles are lying in the pond not far away.
Su Luo felt that even if she went to kill them now, they probably wouldn't be able to make a fuss.
Thinking of this, Su Luo couldn't help but stroke her chin and sigh.
She hadn't expected that the fertility-inducing talisman she used for the first time would be so effective, allowing these Rakshasa crocodiles to mate for nearly four days without eating or drinking. If it weren't for their strength, they would probably have collapsed on the ground long ago, either starving to death or exhausted to death.
Wow, the life-inducing talisman is terrifying! It's really useful! Luckily, this talisman only targets demons. If it were used against humans or cultivators, it would be a bit troublesome.
Chunhe slowly closed her drooping jaw and looked at Su Luo with admiration.
So many powerful Rakshasa crocodiles were "tortured" by Sister Su's talismans and lay on the ground, their fates unknown! Sister Su, you're amazing!
Unaware that her status in Chunhe's heart had risen another level, Su Luo pulled Chunhe along and quietly left.
"let's go."
After walking quite a distance, Chunhe asked with some confusion, "Sister, aren't you going to kill them to sell for money?"
She heard that the skin and teeth of the Rakshasa crocodile were very valuable, and many weapon refiners were vying to buy them.
"Why did you kill them? I was just helping them reproduce." Su Luo winked at Chun He and smiled mischievously.
"Everything in the universe has its counterpart. If we only focus on killing demons, the man-eating plants left behind will grow uncontrollably. One day they will grow out of Mount Fanjing and invade human territory. As long as these Rakshasa crocodiles are around, other demons will be deterred from leaving Mount Fanjing, and the man-eating plants will be dealt with by herbivores. Don't be fooled by the Rakshasa crocodiles; the ecological balance of Mount Fanjing depends entirely on them."
Chunhe was completely confused and didn't understand what "ecological balance" meant, but she simply believed that Su Luo's words made sense. Whatever Sister Su said was right!
So she nodded repeatedly, her little face serious, "Oh, I see..."
Su Luo was charmed by her cuteness and chuckled.
