Unmasking, a Heavenly Beauty

As a top-tier plant-type Soul Beast, the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine is far more troublesome than the Thousand-Year Thunder Spirit Tiger from before.

Even a Soul Ancestor might not be able to defeat it in a one-on-one fight, and could even perish, as the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine's methods are too bizarre.

Unfortunately, it encountered Lu Yuan, the nemesis of control-type Soul Master. Lu Yuan was not only immune to control skills but also immune to negative status effects. The Bloodthirsty Demon Vine's strengths lay in control and poison, so it was completely countered and fell directly to Lu Yuan's spear.

But on the other hand, it's not entirely unjust that this Bloodthirsty Demon Vine died at the hands of Lu Yuan when he unleashed his full power; after all, not every thousand-year-old Soul Beast gets this treatment.

Lu Yuan drew his World-Shocking Spear, before which lay the already dead Bloodthirsty Demon Vine!

Dispersing his Soul Power and Martial Soul, Lu Yuan gently exhaled a breath of turbid air. He then used his second Soul Skill and the Golden Dragon Armor in succession, which was a considerable burden even for Lu Yuan.

In that simple battle, he had consumed at least three-tenths of his Soul Power.

It should be noted that the cultivation technique he practiced was the Qingqi Sutra, which not only made his Soul Power more profound than others of the same level, but also of higher quality. Even so, he still consumed three layers of his Soul Power. It is conceivable that Lu Yuan truly went all out just now.

Moreover, the Golden Dragon Armor is indeed a valuable External Soul Bone, which is also related to Zhu Zhuqing in his arms. After all, he also spent some of his Soul Power to protect Zhu Zhuqing, which is also a consumption!

"It's over?" Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "It's over!"

The Bloodthirsty Demon Vine is dead, but there are still some things left to take. As a special top-tier plant-type Soul Beast, each Bloodthirsty Demon Vine will produce a unique product when it reaches a hundred years of cultivation. This product is a great tonic for Soul Master, as it can replenish blood and qi and enhance physical fitness.

It is a rare cultivation resource.

Lu Yuan flicked the tip of his spear slightly at the remains of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, and a blood-red crystal flew out. The Star Ring in his hand flashed, and the World-Shocking Spear disappeared. Lu Yuan gently caught the crystal with his right hand.

"Is this Soul Bone? It doesn't look quite right to me!" Zhu Zhuqing, still nestled in Lu Yuan's arms, looked at the blood-red crystal in Lu Yuan's hand and asked.

"This isn't Soul Bone, it's Blood Crystal!" Lu Yuan said.

"Blood Crystal?" Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback. "What is Blood Crystal?"

Lu Yuan said softly, "Blood Crystal are a unique product of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine. Every Bloodthirsty Demon Vine will produce a Blood Crystal near its roots after a hundred years of cultivation. The older the vine, the larger the Blood Crystal. Judging from the size of the Blood Crystal in front of us, the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine we just saw must have been cultivated for more than 1,500 years."

"What's the use of this Blood Crystal?"

"Hehe!" Lu Yuan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and suddenly chuckled softly.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Zhuqing's icy face furrowed slightly. Was her question really that funny?

"It's nothing, I'm just happy for you," Lu Yuan said, his smile fading.

"Happy for me?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of resentment in her eyes. She was injured like this, and this man could still laugh and be happy for her. For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing really wanted to beat up the man in front of her.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's expression, Lu Yuan knew that Zhu Zhuqing had misunderstood. He immediately said, "This Blood Crystal is actually the essence of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine. The Bloodthirsty Demon Vine likes to devour the blood of living beings to improve its cultivation. This Blood Crystal is a collection of blood essence. It not only greatly enhances a person's blood and qi, but also strengthens the body. Especially for Soul Master like you who is seriously injured and lacks blood and qi, it can restore blood and qi in a very short time."

"Moreover, the Blood Crystal can cure the blood poison of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine itself. Don't you think that's a pleasant surprise for you!"

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"You mean this Blood Crystal is good for my injuries?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"Yes, with this Blood Crystal, your injuries will be basically healed within three days!" Lu Yuan said.

"Really?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with wide eyes, her voice filled with delight.

"Yes!" Lu Yuan nodded affirmatively and said, "When we get back, I will stew this Blood Crystal with the tiger bones of the Thousand-Year Thunder Spirit Tiger to make a tiger bone soup. It will definitely have a miraculous effect on your injuries."

As he spoke, he put the Blood Crystal into his Star Ring, his left hand still around Zhu Zhuqing's waist, and with a light tap of his toes, he quickly rushed back to where he was.

The corpse of the Thousand-Year Thunder Spirit Tiger was still there. Lu Yuan waved his hand to put it away and said to Zhu Zhuqing, "There was just a battle here. It will soon attract a lot of Soul Beast. Let's go somewhere else."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded her little head and nestled in Lu Yuan's arms, letting Lu Yuan carry her as they ran through the forest.

Lu Yuan lightly touched the ground with his toes, displaying the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions lightness skill to its fullest extent. He was able to take flight again with the help of a thin tree branch, which made Zhu Zhuqing in his arms widen her eyes.

Is this still the same Lu Yuan who only knew how to act recklessly?

This speed is much better than hers, which is Agility-Attack Soul Master.

Moreover, Lu Yuan's footwork was quite peculiar. Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what kind of footwork it was, she could easily see its profound mystery.

After running for a long time, Lu Yuan chose a relatively open location and stopped.

After clearing a large section of the ground, Lu Yuan helped Zhu Zhuqing sit down. After all, Zhu Zhuqing had injuries to her abdomen and back, so she couldn't lie down or be prone. It was quite tragic to think about.

"I'm sorry for the offense!" Lu Yuan removed Zhu Zhuqing's leather jacket, which was so worn out from being rubbed so badly that it was no longer wearable.

Zhu Zhuqing felt Lu Yuan's hands brushing against her body, and her cheeks were already flushed.

After removing Zhu Zhuqing's leather jacket, Lu Yuan examined the injuries on her arms, treated the broken wounds again, and then replaced them with gauze and bandaged them up!

Next, the abdominal wound was treated by unwrapping the gauze layer by layer, cleaning it again, applying new medicine, and then bandaging it again.

Finally, only Zhu Zhuqing's back was left.

"Ahem, you should take off your inner shirt too!" Lu Yuan coughed and said apologetically.

Zhu Zhuqing's clothes were stuck to the wound and had already formed bloodstains. Not only did they need to be cleaned and bandaged, but she also needed to change into a new undershirt. Moreover, the wound was inside the clothes, so she couldn't apply any medicine through the clothes.

Zhu Zhuqing bit her red lips tightly, her dark eyes fixed on Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan met Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, his gaze calm and clear.

"Will you take responsibility for me?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan quietly.

If her inner garment were removed, Lu Yuan would have seen almost her entire body. As a girl, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't possibly be indifferent to that.

Moreover, she was originally an extremely conservative person.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's expression turned serious. "If you're willing, I can!"

He always takes responsibility for what he does.

"I don't believe it!" Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head.

"Why?" Lu Yuan asked.

Zhu Zhuqing said, "I don't believe in someone who doesn't even dare to show their true colors."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was taken aback, then gently touched his cheek with his right hand and carefully removed the mask.
