She was once the empress of the Lin Kingdom, and half of the national treasury was in her jade bracelet.
Coincidentally, there was silver grass in her spatial jade bracelet.
Silver grass was not of much help to humans, but it was a good thing for demonic beasts.
Xiao Zhao had gnawed on a lot of her silver grass, but fortunately, there was still a lot left.
"Wow, so much silver grass!"
The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus drooled even more intensely. It eagerly stretched out its arm and offered the porcelain bottle filled with blood: "I'll trade with you!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by.
When Feng stopped, the small porcelain bottle in the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus's hand vanished.
Not far away, Si Jianye's figure seemed not to have moved. His tall and robust body stood still in place, and a small porcelain bottle had already appeared in his well-defined palm.
The blood of a sentient Flame Spirit Blood Lotus was renewable, and its blood was more precious than that of a Flame Spirit Lotus.
"Despicable, shameless, vulgar!"
The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus was furious and stomped its feet in anger. Its massive body shook the ground, and the spiritual energy that emanated from it caused the small grass on the ground to bend.
The powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy also made Feng Ninghe's body involuntarily take a step back.
The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus opened its mouth and spewed a fireball at Si Jianye, but the latter did not move. With a gentle flick of his sleeve, he scattered the flames.
Feng Ninghe's eyes became more vigilant. The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus in front of her had reached the Nascent Soul stage of human cultivation. Si Jianye's cultivation was suppressed, yet he easily neutralized the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus's attack.
Just how terrifying was this man's strength?
The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus's intelligence was no less than that of humans. Understanding that it could not defeat Si Jianye, it looked at the silver grass in Feng Ninghe's hand with a mournful gaze: "What do you want now?"
"I want a bottle of blood, and the Flame Spirit Lotus on your head."
Feng Ninghe's eyes were fixed on the Flame Spirit Lotus on the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus's head.
This Flame Spirit Lotus was as large as half a person's head. Its vibrant petals contained boundless fluctuations of spiritual energy.
If she could consume this Flame Spirit Lotus, she would be able to repair her body well. Even if she couldn't recover to her peak condition, it would strengthen this body and allow it to withstand more of her original spiritual power, which would be greatly beneficial for her cultivation.
The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus grumbled and haggled: "You can only choose one."
Feng Ninghe lowered her eyes and looked at the silver grass in her hand. With a look of regret, she put the silver grass back into her spatial jade bracelet: "Since you're unwilling, then there's nothing we can do."
Seeing her put away the silver grass, the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus became anxious: "I agree, but you have to give me the silver grass first. I'm not like some shameless humans who go back on their word."
Si Jianye, who was pointed out, lowered his gaze, pondering something.
Feng Ninghe readily handed over the silver grass. The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus took a bottle of blood and handed it over, then used its two long arms to pluck a Flame Spirit Lotus from its head.
As soon as the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus plucked the Flame Spirit Lotus from its head, another one grew back at a visible speed.
Feng Ninghe finally understood why the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus had been so willing.
Flame Spirit Lotuses could regenerate, so plucking them had no effect on the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus.
At this moment, a figure stealthily approached the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus.
Si Jianye suddenly swung his long sword and slashed down at the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus.
This saber strike was accompanied by a surge of spiritual energy, making it impossible to dodge.
Feng Ninghe only saw a flash of saber light before her eyes, and then she heard a tragic cry.
"My blood!"
The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus roared tearfully, its two large legs hurting and wiggling awkwardly to the sides.
The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus was cut by the saber, and bright red blood dripped down its arm.
Si Jianye collected all this blood.
Having lost a lot of blood, the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus withered at a visible rate. Its entire body instantly shrunk by more than half, shrinking from its initial colossal size to smaller than Feng Ninghe in the blink of an eye.
"Oh no! Time's up!"
The Flame Spirit Blood Lotus ignored the pain in its body and, with its legs spread apart, swayed left and right as it fled quickly.
Feng Ninghe couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, her expression slightly surprised: "It... just left like that?"
Si Jianye had drawn a lot of blood from it.
She had expected the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus to retaliate, but now it had fled in disarray...
Although she didn't know the purpose of this blood, judging by Si Jianye's actions, she knew it was a good thing.
If she had known, she should have followed suit and drawn more blood from the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus.
After the Flame Spirit Blood Lotus left, Si Jianye's gaze was heavy as he scanned the surroundings, as if searching for something.
Feng Ninghe then turned her attention to the surroundings.
There were mountains and water here. Beneath the black hole of the storm, there was another world.
She came to a riverbed and took some water to wash.
This riverbed was rich in spiritual energy. If there weren't others here, she would have loved to take a good bath and soak in the spiritual river.
As she turned her head, she noticed large, sparkling pearls in the riverbed.
The spiritual energy contained within these pearls was no less than that of spirit stones. Such a large pearl was very valuable.
She quickly reached out and stuffed the pearl into her spatial jade bracelet.
The moment she did, the entire riverbed vanished before her eyes.
Feng Ninghe was stunned and quickly scanned the jade bracelet with her divine sense.
A spiritual river was inexplicably lying inside the jade bracelet.
This spiritual river was full of energy and beneficial for cultivation.
She calmly concealed her expression and subconsciously looked in the direction of the man in the black robe.
Si Jianye was rushing towards a dazzling blue cherry blossom grass that was in full bloom.
This blue cherry blossom grass was brightly colored and sparkling.
Feng Ninghe's eyes lit up instantly, and she sped towards the blue cherry blossom grass.
She hadn't expected to find blue cherry blossom grass here.
Blue cherry blossom grass could protect a cultivator's body from backlash when breaking through cultivation levels. Even if the advancement failed, there would be no sequelae. This was of great help to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.
With the blue cherry blossom grass, she could reshape her muscles and bones, allowing this body to better withstand her original cultivation. Even if she used her original cultivation in the future, she wouldn't bleed from all seven orifices with dire consequences.
She was determined to get the blue cherry blossom grass!
Si Jianye reached the blue cherry blossom grass before her, but her hand was tightly gripping its root.
Seeing her rush forward, Si Jianye raised his sword eyebrows slightly, preparing to blast this troublesome woman away.
"Who is that?"
Feng Ninghe's eyes were filled with surprise as she saw something, staring at the area behind Si Jianye.
Si Jianye subconsciously turned his head.
Behind him, it was empty, with no one there.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Feng Ninghe fiercely pulled the blue cherry blossom grass and ran away!
This series of actions by the woman successfully angered Si Jianye.
"Despicable."
He gritted his teeth, his thin lips moving to utter two icy words.
With the blue cherry blossom grass in hand, Feng Ninghe quickly threw it into the silver bell jade bracelet.
The silver bell on the jade bracelet jingled crisply and melodiously as she ran.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept past her.
Si Jianye was already standing in front of her.
He narrowed his phoenix eyes, and a dangerous aura emanated from them.
The next moment, as if sensing something, Si Jianye's gaze paused slightly on Feng Ninghe.
This woman...
Why did she have that kind of aura on her?
