Chapter 479: Chapter 475: Compensation_1

Yingbao searched all around, looking for the root of this vine.

She intended to dig up the whole spirit plant and put it into her Divine Mansion.

Finally, Yingbao saw the root of the spirit plant. It was quite far from her, over ten meters away, deeply rooted on the cliff.

This could be quite difficult.

Yingbao thought for a moment, then called out Xuanwu. “You go dig up that spirit plant.” She pointed to a place over ten meters away.

Xuanwu hummed and hawed. “This is just a common spirit plant, and you treasure it?”

“I saw that the spiritual energy there was thick. What if we dig out a secret realm or a treasure trove?” Yingbao deceived.

Xuanwu hummed a few times, and finally went reluctantly.

It whooshed to the root, scratched with its front claws, dug a hole along the root and gradually burrowed into it.

Yingbao didn’t slack off either. She carefully removed the vine wrapped around the cliff pine.

Suddenly, a strange peculiar bird flew over and attacked her.

The bird had wings over a meter wide, and as it glided across, it emitted a mournful shriek that pierced the eardrums.

Its claws were like glittering cold daggers, cutting down tree trunks as thick as wrists with one swipe. It almost toppled Yingbao from the pine tree and even knocked off two fruits.

Yingbao was somewhat annoyed, holding back the severe pain in her arm she pulled out the God Scythe and fiercely slashed at the bird.

In fact, the God Scythe had become her personal artifact, which could not only protect her but could also fight on its own. The prerequisite was that she had to first provide it with sufficient divine power.

In mid-air, with just one strike from the God Scythe, it cut off half of the bird’s wing, and then Yingbao saw the bird rapidly spinning as it fell.

With the battle over, the God Scythe returned and hovered in front of Yingbao.

Yingbao grabbed it and put it directly into her Divine Mansion,

By the time she had removed all the vines, Xuanwu had already crawled out of the hole, excited. “Master, is your mouth blessed? You’re so effective?”

“What?” Yingbao pointed at the vine under Xuanwu’s feet. “First, put the spirit plant away and give it to me later.”

Xuanwu didn’t hesitate and collected the vine directly. “You come over quick. There’s great news!”

Yingbao had to take out the God Scythe again, stepped on it and flew over.

The hole that Xuanwu dug wasn’t very large, but it was enough for her to crawl in.

After crawling behind Xuanwu for a while, they reached a large cave. In the cave, there were six boxes, each covered with seal runes.

Looking at the sealed runes on the boxes, they were at least several hundred years old, and these runes have already lost part of their function due to age. It’s estimated that these were buried here by a cultivator who later fell, and these became unclaimed items.

Yingbao easily broke these runes, opened the boxes and saw that they were filled with spirit stones the size of eggs, all five attributes were present, and brilliant light circulated on them.

“We’re rich! Haha!” Xuanwu happily pounced on the boxes, instantly swept away three of them, glanced at the remaining three and then went elsewhere.

Yingbao knew this guy intended to share half each, so she wasn’t polite and directly put the three boxes into her Divine Mansion.

The spirit stones in the boxes were all of medium-grade, and estimated a box had thousands of stones, which should be enough for Wei Zhan and his brothers to cultivate for a long time.

Xuanwu made a round and came back. “There’s nothing else, let’s go out.”

So, one person and one turtle crawled out of the cave, Xuanwu was so happy that it transformed into a large bamboo tablet, letting Yingbao sit on its back and flew her up the cliff.

The top of the cliff was a lush forest, blocking the sky and the sun. It was unclear where this was.

But Yingbao knew that this place must be dangerous. Otherwise, this body wouldn’t have fallen from the cliff. Therefore, they couldn’t fly high. Otherwise, once they were found by a powerful being, she wouldn’t know how she’d die with this weak body of hers.

So, one person and one turtle entered the forest cautiously, darting between the giant trees.

When they encountered spiritual medicine, they dug up everything from mid-level and above and put them into the Divine Mansion. And for the high-level ones, they thought of ways to kill the accompanying beasts, and dug it up together with the soil.

They walked like this, stopping and going, and a day passed quickly. They still hadn’t left the forest. Yingbao was getting a bit anxious.

Her goal for coming here wasn’t just to dig up spirit plants. Most importantly, she had to go to the Wuji Sect or the Chen Family or Xiao Family territories and get one or two innate spirit veins.

“Xuanwu, can you see what place is this?” Yingbao asked Xuanwu.

Xuanwu leisurely flew and said at a leisurely pace: “This place is less than a thousand miles away from Vermilion Bird City. We’ll be able to reach soon. You don’t need to worry, first gather some spiritual medicine. Otherwise, we won’t be able to enter the city. Also, you need to heal your wounds. Finding a doctor in the city costs a lot of money. If you don’t want to use the spirit stones in the boxes, gather more spiritual medicine.”

Yingbao was silent.

Vermilion Bird City, her nightmare from the last lifetime.

The Chen family sent her to Vermilion Bird City to be the Chen family’s concubine. They were in agony for several years until she awakened the divine dragon bloodline and pretended to be well-behaved and pitiful. Then she took the opportunity to kill the guards and escaped.

Since then, she had been avoiding Vermilion Bird City, as she had a shadow over this place.

Who would have thought that after all this time, she ended up back here.

“Xuanwu, tell me the details about this body.” She wanted to know if the current body she had was from Vermilion Bird City.

Xuanwu quickly flipped through the Sky Book and muttered: “This cost me 10 years of cultivation.”

Yingbao ignored its grumbling and quietly awaited the news.

In a short while, Xuanwu spoke: “I’ll only tell you her recent situation. This body is called Chen Shuyuan, the daughter of an elder from the Chen Family in Vermilion Bird City. A few days ago, she went into the forest with her companions in search of spiritual medicine. They encountered a mid-level demonic beast. All her companions ran away, and she fell off the cliff, seriously injured, and died.”

“The daughter of a Chen family elder? Which elder?” Yingbao was delighted.

She didn’t expect that this body of hers was actually the daughter of a Chen Family elder. This was great.

Xuanwu: “The fifth elder, Nascent Soul cultivation base.”

“Understood.” Yingbao narrowed her eyes.

The fifth elder, huh? After all these years, he’s still at the Nascent Soul stage, he must be near the end of his lifespan.

Even after drinking her blood, he hadn’t advanced, he was really unlucky.

Yingbao remembered that the fifth elder should be Chen Tiantian’s great-grandfather.

“Master, don’t daydream. There’s a spiritual medicine over there!” cried Xuanwu.

Yingbao waved her hand, the God Scythe appeared, and with a whoosh, it flew to dig the ground.

Swish swish swish! The God Scythe quickly dug out a medium-level spiritual medicine that was half a person high, and happily brought it to Yingbao.

Just as Yingbao put away the spiritual medicine, a gray rabbit poked its head out from behind a big tree, staring at her with resentful eyes.

Yingbao hesitated for a moment, took out a bamboo tube of spirit water, placed it on the ground and said to the rabbit, “This is for you, as compensation.”

The rabbit looked skeptical. After Yingbao and Xuanwu floated away, it darted out, picked up the bamboo tube.

It bit off the cork with its teeth, and a strong spiritual energy floated out, scaring it into immediately covering the small hole in the bamboo tube with its paw.

Then it bent down to pick up the cork, hopped away, ran into the forest and quickly burrowed into a rabbit hole.
