"Passed out? Could it be drunk on spiritual energy?" Yue Jun asked suspiciously, "This is the first time I've heard of a spiritual plant getting drunk on spiritual energy."
Han Bei and Wu Qun glanced at the spiritual plant in Bai Shengyi's hand, also full of doubt. It didn't look like it was drunk on spiritual energy at all.
Bai Shengyi followed their gaze to the Dream-Chasing Vine.
The Dream-Chasing Vine stiffened, its leaves softly brushing against Bai Shengyi's palm. Yes, the master was right, it was drunk.
Han Bei and Wu Qun couldn't help but twitch their mouths, but they didn't think much of it, merely finding Bai Shengyi's spiritual plant somewhat peculiar.
However, Yue Jun, standing nearby, couldn't help but cast glances at Bai Shengyi from time to time.
"Sister, aren't you cultivating?" Yue Jun asked, seeing Bai Shengyi squinting, with no fluctuation in the surrounding spiritual energy, his brow furrowed.
Something was wrong.
Was this Divine Maiden Bai also here for the Heart of the Divine Wood?
But he had tested her in the carriage earlier. The other party didn't even know what the Heart of the Divine Wood was. She was just an ordinary divine maiden chosen from the village.
Bai Shengyi had long noticed Yue Jun's subtle gaze. Her expression was serene, and she even let out a laugh when she opened her eyes.
"I have always been cultivating. Divine Maiden Yue, you shouldn't waste such good cultivation resources. The spiritual energy here is much more concentrated than in our village."
"A Yue, don't be distracted," Wu Qun whispered to remind Yue Jun.
He felt that Yue Jun was being overly familiar with this Divine Maiden Bai.
This was not a good thing.
Only one person could preside over the Winter Moon Sacrifice as Divine Maiden and Holy Son.
The Divine Maidens and Holy Sons of their Four Great Divine Temples, and the Divine Maiden and Holy Son of the Central Divine Temple, were not friends.
Thinking of this, Wu Qun stared at Yue Jun, "Hurry up and cultivate."
He looked as if he intended to supervise Yue Jun's cultivation.
Yue Jun, however, did not act immediately.
He had long suspected that there was something wrong with the spiritual energy in the Green Prosperity Small World.
At first, he thought it was because he had both wood and fire spiritual roots, and the spiritual energy here was all wood-elemental. So, he suppressed his fire spiritual root to cultivate. But later, he discovered that even when using only his wood spiritual root, as long as the spiritual energy here entered his dantian, the spiritual energy in his entire dantian would become sluggish.
And perhaps because his cultivation was relatively high, this sluggishness was very slight. If he weren't an alchemist, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
As he was contemplating how to fend off Wu Qun, he saw Wu Qun frown and urge, "A Yue, hurry up, don't waste time."
He even stepped forward and sat beside Yue Jun. "Don't be willful at this time. Be good, listen, and cultivate quickly."
Beneath the veil, Yue Jun was so exasperated that he almost wanted to vomit!
Why was this Wu Qun interfering at this moment!
Especially since this man was even planning to teach him cultivation hand-in-hand!
Ugh!
Save me, don't come over!
He was a male cultivator!
At this moment, Yue Jun deeply regretted it, regretting it to death!
Yet, when he opened his eyes, Bai Shengyi and Han Bei, who had been sitting beside him, had retreated far away, as if leaving this space for them.
Han Bei even winked at Wu Qun, as if saying, "Brother, I've helped you this far."
Bai Shengyi watched Yue Jun numbly circulate his spiritual energy to cultivate, her eyebrows subtly raised.
"Tsk tsk, so pathetic."
"What's pathetic? Aren't they a couple?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from the sea of consciousness. Bai Shengyi was incredibly surprised: "Little Reincarnation! You're awake!"
Bai Shengyi closed her eyes, and her consciousness immediately reached the sea of consciousness. She saw a vast expanse of green light chasing a faint trace of firelight in the depths.
"Ahhh, Bai Shengyi, quickly make the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Brush stop!" Sui Xing Divine Fire was running wildly in the sea of consciousness.
"Why are you running? Little Reincarnation won't hurt you. It just wants to take a wisp of fire," Bai Shengyi explained.
Because the Sui Xing Divine Fire had a contract with her, if the Reincarnation Brush wanted to take it freely like the Ten Directions Nether Fire, it would first need to take the original fire of a fire spirit.
"Ah? Is that so?" The Sui Xing Divine Fire stopped and grumbled, "I thought it disliked me and wanted to refine me."
"How could Little Reincarnation dislike you?"
The Sui Xing Divine Fire hesitated to speak.
The Reincarnation Brush said coldly, "It led the black mist in your dantian into your sea of consciousness."
Bai Shengyi:!
"What?" Bai Shengyi's calm expression completely shattered.
She quickly looked around her sea of consciousness, and only then did she discover the abnormality.
Her sea of consciousness originally only housed the Reincarnation Brush, half green and half ethereal blue. After contracting the Sun Flaming Red Fire, the deep red flame color immediately suppressed the color of the Ten Directions Nether Fire, and the entire sea of consciousness became a state of red and green interlacing.
However, after waking up in Anyang Village, she found that her sea of consciousness had gained that ball of white fluff. It looked like a spiritual entity of a spiritual tiger, but it had not woken up yet, so Bai Shengyi didn't know what it was and hadn't paid any attention to it.
But now, there was a layer of dark shadow and green light around that white fluff.
The green light was woven into a net, firmly separating the white fluff and the dark shadow.
Bai Shengyi moved closer and saw that the dark shadow was indeed the black mist in her dantian. She hadn't observed it for a long time, and at first glance, it seemed to have become much denser.
"Is this white fluff okay?"
"That's the spiritual body of the beast White Tiger, not white fluff." Even though the Reincarnation Brush was accustomed to its master's unreliability, upon hearing her call the descendant of one of the Four Divine Beasts "white fluff," it was still somewhat exasperated.
It suddenly felt like it wanted to go back and continue sleeping.
"White Tiger?" Bai Shengyi looked at the Reincarnation Brush in astonishment, "Where did a White Tiger come from? Little Reincarnation, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
And a beast? Wouldn't that mean this white fluff could also transform?
Bai Shengyi didn't believe it!
The Reincarnation Brush answered weakly, "You'll have to ask yourself. How would this brush know?"
The Sui Xing Divine Fire looked at Bai Shengyi, then at the Reincarnation Brush. "I think this looks like a snowball. Those humans in the past described snow to me. It was white, bright, soft."
As the Sui Xing Divine Fire spoke, it tried to touch it, but before it could, it was blocked by the green light.
The Reincarnation Brush said tiredly, "It's not a snowball."
"Forget it, you'll know later. What do you plan to do with this black mist?" The Reincarnation Brush no longer struggled, pointing to the black mist in the sea of consciousness, "Do you want this brush to kick it back into the dantian?"
The black mist seemed to understand and immediately swayed left and right.
A dark mass, it was quite an eyesore amidst the green light.
Bai Shengyi couldn't bear to look and closed her eyes: "Kick it."
Between the sea of consciousness and the dantian, she still chose to let this unknown entity wreak havoc on her dantian.
The Reincarnation Brush immediately flew over, its brush shaft tilted, about to fling the black mist out. However, the black mist tightly wrapped around the Reincarnation Brush, refusing to let go even as it was burned by the spiritual light on the brush shaft with a "sizzling" sound.
"Want to stay... stay... here..."
A muffled voice came from within the mist.
