"Interesting!"
Nangong Qingliu had already noticed the arrival of the mysterious paper airplane.
Even as the paper airplane approached Broken Ridge Academy, her immense soul power sensed its presence.
She didn't move, wanting to see where this paper airplane, which had appeared out of nowhere and whose flight path was extremely strange, was going to go.
Nangong Qingliu noticed that this plane was truly flying entirely on its own speed and airflow, without any external force.
But it precisely avoided all the buildings, trees, and other obstacles, traversing the entire Broken Ridge Academy.
What's even more interesting is that its flight path perfectly avoids the sight of everyone in the Broken Ridge Academy, traveling along extremely mysterious and safe routes.
Finally, it flew towards its own yard.
As a Diamond Rank expert, Nangong Qingliu naturally knew that this was no accident. Clearly, the paper airplane had been controlled by someone to fly there, but she couldn't understand how it was done yet.
The paper airplane landed precisely in front of her, on the stone table in front of her in the bamboo forest, and came to a steady stop.
By this time, she finally understood that the paper airplane was aimed at her!
Nangong Qingliu stretched out her delicate hand, completely unconcerned about any hidden tricks or deadly poison on it.
Having mastered SSS Grade or even higher life skills, she was not afraid of such methods at all.
Perhaps Nangong Qingliu's combat strength is not great, but in terms of survival ability, she is definitely much stronger than some Supreme Rank beings.
After unfolding the paper airplane, Nangong Qingliu noticed that it was a letter.
But upon reading the contents of the letter, she immediately became restless and stood up abruptly.
"I have a potion that can save someone you care about, the kind specifically for repairing soul damage. The black residue on the paper is a sample of the potion, just enough for one test. If you want it, please don't alert anyone, bring ten leaves from the Tree of Life, and go to XX location at XX time to trade with me!"
The letter hit her nail on the head.
But she didn't believe it easily, because over the years, countless people had approached her under the pretense of being able to cure the people she cared about.
They all had ulterior motives, and perhaps they had certain methods, but none of them were effective.
Having experienced many such things, she no longer readily believed such claims from many people.
"That's quite a unique method. Let's hope it doesn't disappoint us again!"
Nangong Qingliu didn't have high hopes, but she still didn't mind giving it a try because she wouldn't miss any opportunity.
Then Nangong Qingliu summoned a spirit-type beast.
This is a semi-spirit creature called Soul-Summoning Banshee.
It can summon, and even forcibly manipulate, the soul of life, and is extremely sensitive to all changes in the soul.
The beast that Nangong Qingliu initially contracted was a special beast that was completely half-living and half-soul.
Her initial goal in contracting this Soul-Summoning Banshee was to heal that person's soul trauma.
Unfortunately, it can't!
But this Soul-Summoning Banshee can accurately determine what truly has an effect on a person's soul injury.
After the Soul-Summoning Banshee was summoned, Nangong Qingliu instructed it to undergo testing.
"Come and see if this medicine has any effect on his injuries."
After licking the faint trace of the medicine remaining on the paper, the Soul-Summoning Banshee carefully sensed the changes that had occurred.
Jiang Ziliu was very careful. The small amount of medicine he placed on the paper was only enough for one test, and there was no way to analyze its formula.
"Amazing! This potion is real, absolutely effective! It can be said to be a perfectly tailored, most suitable soul-restoring potion!"
The Soul-Summoning Banshee's eyes lit up, and she quickly gave her conclusion.
"Are you sure? There can't be any mistakes, right? Do you want to feel it more carefully?"
Nangong Qingliu didn't react for a moment, instinctively unwilling to believe it, because she had failed too many times.
For two hundred years, she has been trying, but she has been failing!
The sudden success was so unexpected that she could hardly believe it, almost creating a psychological inertia that every attempt would inevitably fail!
"This time, there really won't be any problems!"
The Soul-Summoning Banshee spoke firmly, displaying great confidence in her judgment of souls.
This time, her master, Nangong Qingliu, has truly found a way to resolve her inner conflict!
Nangong Qingliu trembled all over, shaking uncontrollably a few times, before collapsing to the ground as if she had lost all weight.
She turned her head and asked again, "This time, is it really possible?"
The Soul-Summoning Banshee glanced cautiously at her master, surprised by her strong reaction, but still nodded carefully. "Okay!"
Then Nangong Qingliu quickly stood up, snatched the paper back into her hand, carefully examined its contents, and especially memorized the time and place.
She knew it was unlikely to be a setup.
Because she hadn't sensed any powerful figures within the entire Broken Ridge Academy, someone had been secretly gathering information about her some time ago, possibly for this very transaction.
The leaves of the Tree of Life might not be anything precious to her.
However, for ordinary beast tamers outside, the leaves of the Tree of Life are treasures that are difficult for them to obtain.
Even the leaves of the offspring that branch off from the Tree of Life are rare outside.
Furthermore, all the resources generated by the Tree of Life itself have never been traded outside the Academy; they are only exchanged for a high amount of academic credits within a small circle within the Broken Ridge Academy.
The opponent's target is very likely a leaf from the Tree of Life, and that leaf may not even be that powerful.
That night, Nangong Qingliu changed her clothes, concealed her figure, and carefully left Broken Ridge Academy.
She herself knew, of course, that many of her suitors did not want her cousin to wake up and wished he would remain asleep forever.
If someone were to actually find a way to solve her cousin's soul problem, their first instinct would likely be to destroy that person, rather than rushing to help her and win her heart.
Therefore, Nangong Qingliu acted very carefully.
She arrived in the mountains east of the Broken Ridge Academy and found this inconspicuous little valley.
But she didn't see any traders there.
She only saw the ground suddenly writhe, and then a line of large characters made of soil appeared in front of her.
Nangong Qingliu sensed the caution in the person opposite her. They didn't trust her and told her to move immediately so they could confirm if there were any other people behind her.
Moreover, the other party only gave her twenty seconds to consider; if she exceeded that time, the transaction would be immediately cancelled.
Unwilling to miss this chance, Nangong Qingliu agreed without hesitation.
She immediately and quietly headed in another direction, which turned out to be a civilian area south of the Broken Ridge Academy.
The transaction took place in an abandoned workshop on the edge of a civilian neighborhood.
This time, she saw a person, but to be precise, it wasn't a person, but rather an Rock and Earth Avatar formed from earth-type skills.
This avatar was so lifelike that it was indistinguishable from True Person.
If she hadn't been a powerful being at the Diamond level with an incredibly sharp soul, she might not have been able to tell that this was an Rock and Earth Avatar.
"Where are the leaves from the Tree of Life I asked for? Hand over the leaves first, and I'll give you the rest later!"
This Rock and Earth Avatar is quite advanced; it can even speak.
Nangong Qingliu had no choice but to comply. The other party's wariness of her exceeded her own. Clearly, the other party was not as strong as her, nor did they have the same powerful backing. Therefore, relatively speaking, the other party was the weaker party.
But the other person's potion was essential for her, while the leaves of her Tree of Life were not the only ones available!
In this respect, she is in a weaker position.
Not wanting to cause trouble, Nangong Qingliu handed a box to the Rock and Earth Avatar and Rock and Earth Avatar opened the box and saw the intact leaves of the Tree of Life inside. After carefully examining the box, it confirmed that there were no hidden tracking devices on it.
Dozens of kilometers away, Jiang Ziliu, who was in control of everything, even made Probability Judgment to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the other party's goods, that there were no hidden tricks in the goods, and that the other party was not following him before he could relax.
The Rock and Earth Avatar placed the box underground, and then the rock and soil of that place naturally enveloped the box, causing it to slowly sink into the ground.
Everything seemed to have returned to calm.
The other side took the leaf from the Tree of Life, but did not immediately send the potion she wanted, but Nangong Qingliu remained calm.
Twenty minutes later, the box containing the leaves of the Tree of Life returned. It was empty of leaves, but contained two vials of potion.
Nangong Qingliu summoned the Soul-Summoning Banshee and had it check; it was indeed the potion she needed.
"Alright, you've received your item! The transaction is complete. Goodbye forever!"
The Rock and Earth Avatar spoke a sentence for Jiang Ziliu, and then prepared to collapse on its own.
"Wait, I once swore an oath that if someone rescued him, I would marry that person. Do you need me to keep my vow?"
Nangong Qingliu couldn't help but ask, since the other party had remained completely hidden the whole time, showing no intention of meeting her and having absolutely no interest in her.
This made her feel a little uncomfortable; such people were so rare.
"You're too high-profile, I don't need it! Never again!"
The Rock and Earth Avatar emphasized "never again" before crumbling apart and turning into a mass of ordinary rock and soil fragments.
Nangong Qingliu held the box, but instead showed a very interested expression.
"Interesting fellow, so afraid of death. You better hide well, or I'll catch you red-handed!"
After saying that, she walked away with her head held high, in a very good mood.
