White Egret Monster, Big Red Robe

"We found it!"

With almost no effort, Qingqiu Li sensed the location of the Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, then grabbed Wu Chu's shoulder and disappeared from the Tower Ship in a flash.

Originally, Miss Houtu wanted to follow, but seeing that the most powerful person among the people on the boat was the Little Fox, a Golden Immortal, she lifted her foot and then slowly put it down.

On a mountain peak thousands of miles away, an invisible barrier shrouds it, making the mountain appear extremely ordinary from the outside.

But as Qingqiu Li flicked her finger, a beam of light flew towards the mountain peak, instantly creating a crimson ripple outside the peak.

Above the ripples, crimson runes flickered erratically, and a chain reaction occurred nearby, with large patches of runes appearing and then disappearing into the air.

This mountain peak was shrouded in these crimson runes.

"It was well hidden, what a pity..."

Quack...

In the distance, a cry like the cawing of a crow echoed from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they were enveloped in a shadow.

The two looked up and saw a giant bird with wingspans that blotted out the sun, casting a large shadow between the green mountains and deep valleys.

"Noisy!"

Qingqiu Li gave a soft shout and glared at the sky. The giant bird was staring at them with its ferocious black eyes, but as soon as it met Qingqiu Li's gaze, its body instantly froze in mid-air, as if it had encountered a no-fly zone, and it fell directly from the sky.

Upon seeing this, Wu Chu's lips twitched. This ferocious giant bird, exuding the aura of the Taiyi Realm, was truly no match for a Daluo Realm expert!

"Sis, a little punishment is enough. We're not here to steal anything."

Why can't we rob it?

"..."

Wu Chu was clearly not yet accustomed to the survival rules of Primordial World creatures.

Wu Chu shook his head and sighed softly, "Although this Spirit Root is Innate Object, its quality is clearly not that high; it's merely a superior-grade item."

The aura emanating from this Spirit Root was indeed only of superior grade. However, for the vast majority of Primordial World beings, a superior-grade innate Innate Spirit Root was already an extraordinary treasure.

If Wu Chu hadn't used a massive amount of Merit to help the Purple Jade Spirit Crabapple, it wouldn't have been able to rise from a mid-grade to a top-grade tree.

Upon hearing this, Qingqiu Li couldn't help but chuckle. "You've got quite the nerve! You actually dare to look down on a top-grade Spirit Root. You should know that in my Qingqiu region, there's only one top- Spirit Root! If you don't want it, you can give it to me!"

Bang...

The large bird crashed into the crimson rune barrier.

It was a huge white bird with a long, sharp, red iron beak and a wingspan of over a thousand feet, but now it hung limply, occasionally twitching.

It was obvious that this bird had fallen victim to Qingqiu Li's 'Illusory Slaughter Technique'. The bird had been tormented by the Illusion Technique, and the effects had already manifested in its body.

The next moment, a flash of red light enveloped the giant bird, and then its body disappeared from the crimson rune barrier.

Clearly, the Spirit Root here have already been refined by this giant bird.

Judging from the appearance of this giant bird, it is very likely a White Heron Demon, a White Heron Demon at the Taiyi Realm. Perhaps it has already been subdued by the Phoenix Clan.

Wu Chu didn't want to offend the Phoenix Clan at this time, nor did he want the quality of a Spirit Root to decline after the Innate formation was broken, so he stopped Qingqiu Li from forcibly breaking the formation.

He then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the mountain peak and said, "Spirit Root, I believe you can sense that with our cultivation level, breaking your Innate Guardian Formation would be as easy as turning our hands. We have no ill intentions, so please remove this Innate array, lest we all fall out, damage our harmony, and you be destroyed here."

Wu Chu was using a combination of soft and hard tactics, threats and intimidation, and the Spirit Root seemed to actually believe Wu Chu's words, obediently removing the Guardian Formation.

In fact, all those with Innate Spirit Root possess a spirit and can sense the threat posed by others.

It was obvious that Qingqiu Li's flick of her finger had made it realize just how strong the opponent was, and that with its own abilities, it was no longer able to protect this place.

When the Guardian Formation was removed, the entire mountain finally revealed its true form: a colossal peak soaring into the clouds, with mist clinging to its waist.

A gigantic spiritual plant grows halfway up the mountain, appearing and disappearing in the clouds and mist. Its roots, like writhing dragons, are embedded in the cracks of the cliff face, clinging firmly to it.

At a height of hundreds of feet, the deep green leaves, each larger than a washbasin, fluttered and shimmered in the fierce Astral Wind. Crimson runes flickered among the branches and leaves, making the entire tree appear as if it were draped in a crimson robe.

Big Red Robe?!

Upon seeing the towering tree in its current state, three words immediately came to Wu Chu's mind. After carefully examining the branches and leaves of the giant tree, he realized that their shape and texture did indeed resemble tea leaves, much like the two tea trees on his Purple Jade Mountain.

The only difference was the runes that appeared on their bodies.

The Camellia spirit plant that was cut from the Camellia Divine Flower and cultivated can only be considered Acquired Spirit Root, and no runes have appeared on it yet.

The runes on the Little Enlightenment Tea Tree are golden runes.

The White Egret Monster lay on the mountaintop, still silently twitching.

Wu Chu glanced at the White Egret Monster, silently shook his head, and finally said to Qingqiu Li, "Sister, let that guy go! It's probably realized its mistake already."

Since living beings have already occupied this place, it means that the Spirit Treasure must not have been conceived yet. Otherwise, given the power of the Treasure-Dropping Money, it would have been famous Primordial World long ago.

Judging from the fact that the Spirit Treasure was obtained by the two rogue immortals Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao in the future, this White Egret Monster will probably die in the future. Otherwise, given its current cultivation level, if it survived to the Investiture of the Gods, it would definitely be at the level of a great power, so how could its cave be occupied by two rogue immortals?

Therefore, there is no need to check if that Spirit Treasure is here anymore.

Qingqiu Li snorted softly, dispelling the Illusion Technique cast on the White Egret Monster. The White Egret Monster instantly transformed into a white-clad, white-haired woman, who lay trembling on the ground in fear. "Junior Bai Lu greets Senior. Thank you for sparing my life!"

Look, this is the Primordial World; the weak have no dignity whatsoever.

It was Wu Chu and his gang who invaded her territory, and it was she who got beaten up, yet she still had to thank them for not killing her.

Thinking about it, Wu Chu felt that he and Qingqiu Li were somewhat like villainous big Demon Lord.

Wu Chu glanced at the white-haired woman and asked, "Have you joined the Phoenix Clan?"

Bai Lu nodded cautiously, but she didn't feel there was anything to brag about, and she didn't even dare to use it as a threat, for fear that they wouldn't be threatened at all.

They really got a severe lesson!

Wu Chu sighed silently.
