They arrived at the Monster Beast Forest.

The forest was filled with trees everywhere.

Ning Luo held Nalan Yanran's little hand as they walked through the forest.

Yun Yun was not with them. Instead, she was overseeing the overall situation.

Ning Luo had now reached the strength of a Five-star Fighter. In other words, as long as he did not encounter a High-level Magical Beast, he could handle anything.

Ning Luo planned to gather some medicinal herbs in the Monster Beast Forest.

Because he had now become an Alchemist.

He needed to constantly seek out medicinal herbs to assist with his alchemy.

Even as a Core Disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, he could not use the Sect's herbs as he pleased.

Just then, Ning Luo suddenly spotted two people in the forest.

Pill King Gu He.

And his disciple, Liu Ling.

Even though Ning Luo had humiliated Gu He last time.

Gu He did not dare bully Ning Luo. After all, Ning Luo was Yun Yun's disciple. Yun Yun was a Dou Emperor, while he was merely a Dou Wang.

It would have been easy for Yun Yun to kill him.

At that moment, Liu Ling noticed Ning Luo and Nalan Yanran.

He immediately walked over.

"Junior Sister Yan'er, I didn't expect us to meet again!" Liu Ling immediately bowed to Nalan Yanran.

Nalan Yanran gave a cold snort and ignored him.

Liu Ling's warm face had met Nalan Yanran's cold shoulder, and he was utterly enraged.

It's all because of Ning Luo. If not for him, why would Yan'er treat me with such disdain?

Ning Luo, just wait!

Liu Ling silently swore in his heart.

The way he looked at Ning Luo was as if he wanted to kill him.

At that moment, Gu He said, "Little Ling, let's go. We still need to find the Blood Spirit Lotus!"

Liu Ling smiled and asked smugly, "Do you even know what a Blood Spirit Lotus is? One look tells me you don't. But then again, that makes sense. How could someone whose Soul Perception is insufficient to become an Alchemist know what a Blood Spirit Lotus is?"

"Blood Lotus Essence is one of the main ingredients for refining the Blood Lotus Pill. After taking a Blood Lotus Pill, a strange Energy Blood Shackle will form over the body's surface. This blood shackle can heal extremely severe injuries and let one Break Out of Cocoon."

"Moreover, Blood Lotus Essence is an exceptionally rare High-grade Medicinal Herb. It can only be found in great mountains like the Monster Mountain Range!"

As Liu Ling spoke, a smug expression appeared on his face.

As though he were flaunting his extraordinary talent.

Ning Luo remained silent, because he knew that while Liu Ling was not wrong, he had not explained everything.

The Blood Spirit Lotus did indeed possess those effects, and it could indeed only be found in the Monster Mountain Range. However, identifying a Blood Spirit Lotus was a complicated process.

This medicinal herb usually grew alongside the Yellow Spirit Lotus. However, it was extremely scarce and looked almost exactly the same as the Yellow Spirit Lotus. Anyone unfamiliar with it would find it difficult to tell the two apart.

Although Ning Luo had only recently begun learning the Alchemy Art, he had signed in for the Alchemy Compendium.

This knowledge had long since been committed to his mind.

Just then, Liu Ling spotted a yellow lotus and immediately cried out, "Blood Spirit Lotus! This is a Blood Spirit Lotus!"

Hearing his shout, everyone gathered around and looked at the yellow lotus.

But Ning Luo scoffed disdainfully, because he knew full well that it was not a Blood Spirit Lotus, but an ordinary Yellow Essence Lotus.

Liu Ling excitedly ran over, plucked the Blood Spirit Lotus, and came before Gu He, showing it off as he said, "Master, look! Look! I found a Blood Spirit Lotus!"

Ning Luo smiled but did not join the commotion. Instead, he carefully searched the ground.

A true Blood Spirit Lotus generally grew alongside Yellow Essence Lotuses. Since Liu Ling had found a Yellow Essence Lotus, the Blood Spirit Lotus could not be far away.

Just then, Ning Luo focused his gaze.

He saw a yellow lotus growing in a corner. Unlike the other Yellow Essence Lotuses, there was a streak of blood-red color in the center of that lotus.

That was the true Blood Spirit Lotus!

Ning Luo walked over and plucked the Blood Spirit Lotus.

At that moment, Gu He looked at the Blood Spirit Lotus in Liu Ling's hand and could not help but rage, "You foolish boy! What did I teach you? You can't even tell a Blood Spirit Lotus from a Yellow Essence Lotus! This is clearly a Yellow Essence Lotus! Sigh!"

Just then, Ning Luo happened to walk over holding the Blood Spirit Lotus. When Gu He saw it in Ning Luo's hand, he was shocked. "Blood Spirit Lotus, a real Blood Spirit Lotus!"

Seeing the Blood Spirit Lotus in Ning Luo's hand, Gu He was utterly astonished.

Ning Luo shook the Blood Spirit Lotus in his hand and smiled at Liu Ling. "Senior Brother Liu, this is the real Blood Spirit Lotus. Elder Gu, if you want it, how about I give this Blood Spirit Lotus to you?"

"Sigh!"

Gu He immediately looked as though he hated iron for not becoming steel as he stared at Liu Ling.

Then he turned and left.

Liu Ling's face darkened until it seemed ready to drip water. He had originally wanted to show off before Nalan Yanran, but he had never expected to make such a joke of himself.

Ning Luo smiled and left with Nalan Yanran as well.

Liu Ling coldly watched Ning Luo's retreating back.

"Ning Luo, I'll definitely make you pay!"

With that, he secretly followed behind Ning Luo and Nalan Yanran.

Ning Luo led Nalan Yanran onward.

Nalan Yanran smiled. "Brother Ning Luo, that Liu Ling seems to have followed us?"

Ning Luo smiled. "Let him follow. A Four-star Fighter isn't worth my notice."

Just then, Ning Luo suddenly stopped.

"Senior Brother, what is it?" Nalan Yanran hurriedly asked.

At that moment, the grass before them suddenly rustled.

Then, a Magical Beast suddenly burst out of the grass and appeared before them.
