"Teacher!"
Lu Zhiruo hurriedly ran back and entered Sun Mo's tent. "Teacher, I found a hot spring. Let's go and soak in it!"
"Mn? You went out? "
Sun Mo frowned. Although the Spiritwind Canyon was basically safe during these few days, other than the ambush from the spirit-winds in the morning, it was still dangerous for a little girl to go out at night.
Naturally, Sun Mo felt extremely touched in his heart. He had only casually said 'it would be good if she could soak in it', and the papaya girl had gone to find a hot spring...
Even if she was his biological daughter, she might not be able to do something like this.
"Eh!"
Lu Zhiruo lowered her head and glanced to the side, avoiding Sun Mo's gaze. "I... I..."
The adorably naive papaya girl didn't even know how to lie.
"In the future, don't go out at night anymore."
Sun Mo instructed.
"Mn!"
Lu Zhiruo nodded.
"It's been tough on you!"
Sun Mo rubbed the papaya girl's head.
"It's not tough. It's very easy to find a hot spring. Little loachie also helped!"
As Lu Zhiruo spoke, she wanted to take out little loachie.
Jiji!
The loach hid in her bag and refused to come out.
"It also helped?"
Sun Mo's brows furrowed.
"That's right!"
Lu Zhiruo didn't want little loachie to be stewed into soup. In addition, she also wanted to prove that she didn't waste that spirit stone. Hence, she gave the little loach some credit.
In truth, although Lu Zhiruo was adorable and sometimes a little stupid, her senses were still very sharp. If it wasn't for little loachie's help, she wouldn't have been able to find the hot spring so quickly.
The loach was pulled out by the papaya girl by its tail. It had no choice but to bare its teeth at Sun Mo.
"Little loachie, you can't be fierce to Teacher!"
Lu Zhiruo pointed at the little loach's head, warning it.
Looking at such an intelligent little loach, Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and prepared to observe it. He felt that even if the loaches in the Darkness Continent were different from those in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, they shouldn't be so intelligent. However, when the name of the species jumped out, he almost choked to death by his own saliva.
"Spirit... spirit qi roaming dragon?"
Sun Mo's face was filled with disbelief. He rubbed his eyes to confirm if he had seen wrongly.
Jiji!
The spirit qi roaming dragon that looked like a loach focused its attention on Sun Mo, looking like it was prepared to attack at any moment.
Spirit Qi Roaming Dragon, 99 years old, infant stage.
For dragon-type creatures, those who were less than 100 years old were just babies through and through.
Further down, there was the detailed data of this dragon.
It was sensitive to spiritual energy fluctuations and liked to build its nest in areas with abundant spiritual energy. It could be said that it was a natural-born mining expert.
When they reached adulthood, their combat power would soar.
Note: After receiving serious damage, it will shed its dragon form and undergo a second transformation to avoid being hunted down.
"I see!"
Upon seeing this, Sun Mo understood. Right now, everyone in the Spiritwind City knew about this spirit qi roaming dragon. This meant that it must have encountered many enemies and was injured. If it wasn't for the fact that it transformed into a loach and escaped, it would have died.
This kind of race ability was like a gecko cutting off its tail to survive. It was a life-saving ability.
On the mysterious darkness species list, the higher the ranking, the rarer they would be. Hence, the number of people who knew about this race ability of the spirit qi roaming dragon could be counted on one's fingers.
"I heard from Ziqi that you used a spirit stone to buy it?"
Sun Mo looked at Lu Zhiruo. It was as if he could see her entire body shining with golden light, exuding the aura of a lucky queen.
This loach that she casually picked up was a spirit qi roaming dragon that was ranked # 36 on the darkness species list. If the papaya girl said that her luck was the second best in the world, who would dare to say that they were the best?
"I saw that it was being abused and felt quite pitiful, so I saved it!"
Lu Zhiruo explained, deeply afraid of being reprimanded. Actually, back then, the love and kindness of a little girl flared up.
Some girls were like this. When they saw little rabbits in cages in restaurants, they felt that they were very cute and wanted to eat them. It was too cruel. But when the spicy rabbit head was served, they gnawed on it faster than anyone else.
"The three students who sold it are from Minglan?"
Sun Mo really wanted to know if the three guys would go crazy if they knew that they had given away a spirit qi roaming dragon.
"En!"
Lu Zhiruo nodded. This was what Li Ziqi had told her.
The little sunny egg paid attention to this because those three guys had dared to extort a spirit stone from her junior martial sister. She had to remember this debt and get it back in the future!
Sun Mo looked at Lu Zhiruo and knew that she hadn't discovered the true identity of this little loach. He had wanted to remind her to quickly sign a soul contract with the spirit qi roaming dragon, but after some hesitation, he decided to give up.
The little loach might have followed the papaya girl because of her innocence. If they had to sign a soul contract, it might be scared away instead.
"Forget it, let nature take its course!"
Sun Mo rubbed Lu Zhiruo's head. "Go and inform Ziqi and the others. Let's go take a bath!"
"Alright!"
Lu Zhiruo jogged away.
"System, open the treasure chest!"
Sun Mo instructed.
The golden treasure chest opened, leaving behind a sheepskin parchment that shone with a golden glow.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained the spirit rune drawing technique – Flame Explosion. Proficiency level: expert-grade. After this spirit rune is activated, it can release a huge fireball to bombard the enemy. The damage effect is similar to an RPG!"
"What is this?"
Sun Mo dug his ears.
The system naturally wouldn't answer such a senseless question.
Sun Mo was very straightforward and directly slapped the parchment.
Pak!
The sheepskin parchment shattered into large motes of light. After that, they shot into Sun Mo's forehead. Some data immediately sprouted in his mind and was deeply imprinted.
"Congratulations, you've learned the Flame Explosion Drawing Technique. Proficiency level: expert-grade."
As the notification rang out, Sun Mo immediately took out his spirit rune tools and started to draw. He would draw one first.
Li Ziqi's group arrived, but Sun Mo asked them to wait first. About half an hour later, he completed the Flame Explosion Spirit Rune.
Sun Mo walked out of the tent and instructed Li Ziqi, "I'll go and inform Teacher Jin first!"
...
As Zhang Yaozong and the other two were going to hunt the eight-gate cloud, Gu Xiuxun, as their teacher, was worried about their safety and decided to tag along. Therefore, only Jin Mujie and Sun Mo were left in the campsite.
"Go on, pay attention to your safety."
Jin Mujie didn't reject. Right now, her impression of Sun Mo was very good because he wasn't like the other teachers who viewed the mysterious species of darkness as more important than their students.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jin Mujie + 30. Friendly (260/1,000).
"Many thanks, Teacher Jin!"
After Sun Mo met up with his six students, he got Lu Zhiruo to lead the way and set off toward the hot spring.
Over twenty minutes later, they arrived at a ravine with jagged rocks. After making many turns, they finally found a hot spring that was about one-fifth the size of a basketball court.
"Zhiruo, to think that you could actually find such a remote place!"
Tantai Yutang looked at the gigantic rocks in the surroundings and felt very speechless. If an ordinary person came here and walked one round, they would most probably get lost.
"Alright, let's start bathing. Girls first, guys wait outside!"
Sun Mo instructed.
Ying Baiwu jumped into the hot spring and sensed it. She couldn't help but frown. "The spirit qi content in the water is ordinary!"
Sun Mo sensed it. Indeed, there wasn't much meaning in running around for half a day.
The spirit qi roaming dragon coiled up and lay on Lu Zhiruo's head. It had no intention of entering the water at all because the spirit qi was too little. It disdained to soak in the hot spring.
"Oh!"
Lu Zhiruo looked up and poked the spirit qi roaming dragon. "Little loachie, is there a hot spring with even more abundant spirit qi?"
Jiji!
The loachie called out and even used its tail to point to the south.
"Little loachie said there is, but the distance is a little further!"
Lu Zhiruo reported.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Ying Baiwu urged. From her point of view, if the spirit qi in the hot spring was dense enough, it would be sufficient to make up for the time they wasted on the journey.
The group of seven set off once again. This time around, they walked for three hours.
"Where are we going?"
Tantai Yutang was speechless. (I'm a sickly ghost, alright? Are you guys tired of tormenting me like this? Do you guys feel that I'm not dying fast enough?)
"We'll be there soon!"
Lu Zhiruo explained in a low voice.
"Don't bother about him!"
Li Ziqi chimed in. However, her eyes kept on glancing at the little loachie on the papaya girl's head. It seemed that this fellow was the one leading the way.
All of a sudden, Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu stopped in their tracks and carefully sensed their surroundings. A night breeze blew over, and the spirit qi within it grew denser as well.
After walking for a while more, everyone's spirits stirred. Since the spirit qi in the air was so dense, how dense would the spirit qi in the hot spring be?
Over ten minutes later, a hot spring appeared before everyone's eyes. The water temperature wasn't too hot, but it emitted bubbles. After the bubbles exploded on the water surface, spirit qi seeped out.
"We didn't come here for nothing!"
Tantai Yutang was a doctor. Just by looking at the hot spring water, he knew that soaking in it was comparable to a top-notch medicinal bath.
One must know that the spring water didn't just contain spirit qi. There were also various minerals that were extremely beneficial to the body.
With a swoosh, the spirit qi roaming dragon darted out and jumped into the spring water with a plop. After that, it floated up again like it was doing a backstroke, drifting here and there.
The girls were the first to enter the water. As expected, the experience this time around was much better than before. They felt as though their skin was singing in excitement.
Sun Mo tossed a giant medicine packet into the water.
The spirit qi roaming dragon was already used to this. It even took the initiative to swim over and use its tail to ruthlessly smack the giant.
Pak!
The parts of the giant shattered and turned into spirit qi, enveloping the spirit qi roaming dragon. It immediately let out a comfortable chirp.
"This seems to be a spring source?"
Li Ziqi discovered the reason why the spirit qi here was so dense.
After the girls soaked in, it was the guys' turn. Sun Mo tossed a giant medicine packet into the water as usual.
"Teacher, that loach..."
Li Ziqi walked over and mumbled in a low voice.
"There's no need to care about it. Just pretend that you don't know anything."
Sun Mo instructed.
"Alright then!"
The little sunny egg decided not to ask anymore.
"Teacher! Teacher! There's a good place next. Do you want to go together? "
Lu Zhiruo ran over and pulled Sun Mo's hand.
The spirit qi roaming dragon had a helpless look on its face. (I'm telling you because I want to repay a debt of gratitude. Why are you telling this fellow?)
