He harbored a deep-rooted distrust toward this system from the future.
Since Huohuo of the future was supposed to take the Nine Lives Immortal Grass Special Evolution route, why had the system only provided the location of Vermilion Bird Manure Soil and no information on the other materials?

Zhou Lu took the phone
