n113 Pick the Mushrooms First, Then Roast Meat

nDong Xi pondered for a moment before shaking her head, “First pick the mushrooms, then roast the meat. I can help Chi Yan roast a few mushrooms to eat.”

nChi Yan found a patch of Mystic Spirit Mushrooms in the ghost woods. Such mushrooms could only be found in the ghost woods, and they were also an ingredient for refining the Cooling Pill.

nWhen a fire attribute cultivator broke through to the next cultivation realm, the rich fire spiritual energy would burn his meridians. As long as he took the Cooling Pill in advance, he would be much better.

nOf course, cultivators like Dong Xi, who refined their meridians while cultivating, didn’t need any cooling pills.

nAfter Chi Yan had refined the Marrow-cleansing Gold, she had turned into a pure fire spirit root. She was surrounded by fire spiritual energy at all times, so she naturally did not need it much. She should be asking them to collect some and exchange them for points.

nDong Xi thought about it, then told Ke Xin about the meridian-tempering.

n“You have to think carefully according to your cultivation speed, ” Dong Xi reminded her. “Don’t delay your breakthrough just because you’re tempering your meridians.”

nIf one could not reach Foundation Establishment by the age of 60 and did not have any fortuitous encounters in their life, they could only reach the Golden Core stage.

nKe Xin thought for a while and said, “Sister, I’ve thought it through. When we return, I want to be like you. I’ll cultivate at night. This way, I’ll have a few more hours of cultivation than usual. I’ll use this time to temper my meridians!”

nThe ghost woods was indeed the ghost woods.

nAs soon as the two entered the ghost woods, they felt a cold aura.

nThanks to the fact that both of them had fire spiritual roots, the fire spiritual Qi only needed to be circulated once to dispel a lot of the cold.

nThe two of them walked in the direction Chi Yan had pointed out. Not long after, they saw a large patch of Mystic Spirit Mushrooms.

nChi Yan also sensed that the two of them had arrived. She put all the mushrooms she had just picked into her storage ring and got up to walk toward them.

nChi Yan said, “There are a lot of mystic mushrooms here. I can’t take all of them. You guys should be able to use them too. So, I asked you to come over.”

n“Thank you, Senior Sister,” Dong Xi said with a smile. “I’ll roast some mushrooms for you later!”

nChi Yan was stunned at first, then she smiled and said, “Alright!”

nIf it was any other cultivator, they would not dare to eat such a cold thing, but Chi Yan had the heavenly spirit root, so she was not afraid.

n“Xiaoxi, why couldn’t I contact you yesterday?” Chi Yan asked.

nWhen Ke Xin heard this question, she added, “That’s right, I was so worried. Is everything alright? Didn’t you say you were trapped in the formation?”

n“I’m fine,” Dong Xi shook her head. “It’s a natural formation. I came out after going in circles a few times.”

nDong Xi said it so casually. She did not say anything even though she almost lost her life there.

nAfter observing this place full of mushrooms, Dong Xi felt a little strange.

nDong Xi said, “Did you notice that there are mushrooms on one side of the tree and no mushrooms on the other? Also, did you notice that all the trees in the outer circle are like this? And it’s even colder at the side where there are mushrooms.”

nWhen Chi Yan heard this, she began to think.

nKe Xin asked curiously, “Oh, really? Where was it cold? Why don’t I feel anything?”

nLittle Junior Sister is right,” Chi Yan said, looking at the two of them. “This place is colder than other places.”

nThen, she looked at Dong Xi and asked, “You think there’s a problem here?”

nDong Xi vigilantly looked around and nodded, “Maybe there’s something else here!”

nChi Yan looked around, and a trace of fire flashed in her eyes. This was a natural skill of Chi Yan’s clan, but no matter how she looked, she still found nothing.

n“There are no illusions, ” Chi Yan said. “If there’s really something, it’ll be a real attack. Be careful, everyone.

nDong Xi said, “The Mystic Spirit Mushroom is a cold yin object. It should be accompanied by demon vines. I suspect that there should be some here. We should be careful. The demonic vines may not appear from anywhere.

nChi Yan looked at Dong Xi and suddenly understood. No wonder when her master accepted her as a disciple, he also accepted Dong Xi. Now it seemed that her master had a reason for accepting Dong Xi.

nAs soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Chi Yan took out the Blazing Flame Sword, and Dong Xi also took out the Purple Jade Sword.

nKe Xin looked at the two of them enviously. She was even more certain that she would practice her swordsmanship properly when she returned.

nA pill refinement master who did not know any sword techniques was not fit to be a disciple of the Alchemy Sect of the Ningtian Sect!

nThe three of them vigilantly observed their surroundings as they picked the mushrooms.

nJust two meters behind the three of them, a mound of earth suddenly appeared.

nWhen Dong Xi heard the sound, she immediately stopped her movements and raised her Purple Jade Sword to guard herself.

nThe next second, a black vine attacked the three of them.

nDong Xi and Chi Yan attacked with their swords at the same time and shouted, “Sword, come!”
