Countless erald green vines, swirling with golden runes of immortal power, surged wildly from the swamp’s muddy depths, not rely entangling but piercing and tearing instantly!
The tips of the vines hardened like the spear tip of Mystic Iron, piercing with precision into the core nodes of the Demon Vine’s mother plant and the key joints of each branch vine.
The mother plant let out a shrill, inhuman screech, its massive body nailed to the swamp, struggling madly but unable to break free in the slightest.
Si Lingle landed on the ground, lightly tapping her jade finger to collect the last stalk of Bone-Eroding Grass, before turning her gaze to the Female Immortal who had saved her. Bowing her hands, she said, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your aid! I am Nan Chu from Sea View Peak (Si Lingle entering the sect did not report her real na)." (In truth, even without this female cultivator’s intervention, Si Lingle could have easily annihilated the threat.)
The red-clothed Female Immortal recalled her Golden Feather Fan, adjusting her breath to suppress the surging blood and qi, she smiled bitterly, "Sea View Peak? I have never heard of Junior Sister’s na. You must have just joined the sect."
"I’m called Su Wan, from Purple Sun Pavilion of Alchemy Peak. No need for thanks, if it weren’t for Junior Sister provoking this beast, I wouldn’t have discovered its trace. The ’Bone Marrow Poison Thorns’ of this Demon Vine are precisely the main dicinal catalyst I’m seeking for healing..."
In Su Wan’s eyes, there was a lingering fear, "Earlier, I forcefully activated True Fire, which affected the original wound inflicted by a sinister spirit, and for a mont of inattention, I nearly let this Demon Vine exploit the opportunity, only to be saved by you."
"Senior Sister Su forcibly acted to save , aggravating her injury, how could Ling Le stand by idly."
Si Lingle stepped closer, keenly sensing that a stubborn cold and deadly aura was entrenched within Su Wan’s ridians and vital organs, incompatible with Fire Attribute Immortal Power, continuously eroding her source, definitely not a short-term ailnt.
After a brief contemplation, Si Lingle retrieved a warm and gentle Jade Bottle from her Storage Bag.
"This is the ’Thunder Purifying Flower Dew’ companion to the Thunder Quenching Fruit, containing the purest essence of thunderfire vitality, it may provide slight assistance in dispelling yin-evil and stabilizing one’s source."
Si Lingle handed over the Jade Bottle. The competition within the Thunder Extre Immortal Sect was fierce, but Si Lingle followed her own rules in conducting affairs. The person before her had urgently lent aid and was seriously injured, this item was indeed of great use to Su Wan.
Su Wan accepted the Jade Bottle, uncorked it to lightly sll, and a scorching thunder breath with a fresh woody scent drilled into her nose, slightly invigorating the dormant fla of Immortal Power within her body, effectively suppressing the bone-chilling cold!
Su Wan’s eyes sparkled with a flash of surprise and joy, "Thunder Purifying Flower Dew! This item is extrely difficult to preserve, unobtainable without mastery of Thunder Techniques and Wood Spirit Nourishnt! Junior Sister is willing to part with it..."
Su Wan put away the Jade Bottle, solemnly saying, "I will rember this favor, Su Wan will rember it. If Junior Sister ever needs Alchemy, or any clues about this Yin Erosion Swamp, or even the ’Cold Death Domain,’ feel free to find at Purple Sun Pavilion!"
Su Wan quickly took out a Fire Pattern Token and handed it to Si Lingle, "I need to return imdiately to suppress my injury and refine this flower dew. There are still seven ’Seven-core Dew Condensing Flowers’ that will bloom at sunset ahead in ’Sinking Flower Creek’, consider this a small token of guidance for Junior Sister’s assistance."
With that said, she gave a grateful smile to Si Lingle, summoned her Feather Fan, and disappeared in a flash of firelight.
Si Lingle put away the Token, looking towards the direction of Sinking Flower Creek, where the toxic miasma was intensifying.
The ’Seven-core Dew Condensing Flowers’ outside of the mission are excellent for calming the mind and nourishing Divine Sense, precisely what is needed for the next planned exploration of the sect’s dangerous grounds.
An unexpected aid and reward not only dispelled a crisis but also quietly wove a strand of connection within the sect.
Si Lingle adjusted her slightly mud-stained gray robe, her eyes calm as water, once again stepping towards the swamp’s depths where crisis and opportunity coexisted.
Si Lingle cast her gaze towards the direction of Sinking Flower Creek pointed by Su Wan.
The lead-gray toxic miasma hung like a heavy curtain, enveloping the entire swamp, making the place appear even more deep and dark.
The air was filled with a sweet, cloying stench intermingled with the sll of decaying vegetation, drilling straight into the nasal cavity.
Si Lingle operated "Myriad Phenona Mixed Yuan Unity," the inclusive power of the Cultivation Technique gently refining the toxic miasma eroding her vital organs, relieving a considerable amount of pressure.
Stepping on occasionally floating and sinking rotten wood or relatively firm tussocks, Si Lingle’s form appeared exceptionally agile and swift amidst the mire and poisonous waters of the swamp, like a gray stream of light, silently gliding towards Sinking Flower Creek.
As the distance closed, Si Lingle’s keen Divine Sense captured the unusual fluctuation of immortal power ahead.
An extrely pure, yet powerfully tempting cool floral fragrance tenaciously made its way through the thick toxic miasma, striving to spread out like a guiding light in the darkness.
"It seems Senior Sister Su’s words are not false, the Seven-core Dew Condensing Flowers are about to mature." Si Lingle thought silently, quickening her pace.
Skirting around a mud pool dotted with dark green duckweed and bubbling, the terrain began to slightly elevate, forming a relatively dry wetland platform.
This is the core area of Sinking Flower Creek.
At the edge of the platform, several streams of cloudy, slow-flowing creek water gathered here, forming a small water bay.
Right in the center of this water bay, on a broad, smooth, mirror-like black boulder, grew a cluster of strange plants.
That is the Seven-core Dew Condensing Flowers!
Six similarly shaped flower stocks surrounded the central stock.
