Under Mei Niang's repeated instructions,
Siyang left Phoenix Mountain.
A two-hundred-year-old Little Demon Spirit was really insignificant among the demons.
There were dangers everywhere in this world.
You could encounter a Great Demon just by walking. It would be fine if you were also a demon.
Look at you, a Little Demon. As long as you don't provoke them, they won't make things difficult for you.
They were afraid of encountering those demon-hunting Daoists and monks, such as Fa Hai. It didn't matter if you harmed people or not.
As long as you were a demon, you would be captured.
Suppressed.
With Siyang's current cultivation level,
She could only keep a low profile and be a demon.
Not far from Phoenix Mountain.
There was a treasure mountain.
The mountain was like its name.
There were many treasures on the mountain. Of course, there were also many dangers.
Siyang thought of a list of medicinal herbs for brewing immortal wine. These heavenly treasures needed to be found one by one.
There were also many demons on the Treasure Mountain.
However, there were not many great demons here. There was a Giin Dharmapāṇa on Phoenix Mountain next door. The other demons did not dare to get close because their cultivation level was not high enough.
Giin Dharmapāṇa was not a good-tempered demon.
"Mei Niang said that you insisted on going out to look for some heavenly treasure.
In the end, you were still around here. "
Just as she came out of the forest,
Siyang heard the conversation in front of her. She stood up with a basket in her arms. Her hair was messy and there were weeds in it. In front of her was a small river. An old man in a straw raincoat was sitting on a big rock by the river. He held a bamboo pole in his hand, and the other end of the bamboo pole was tied with a fishing line. He looked like an ordinary old man fishing.
Siyang walked over with the basket in her arms. She sat down beside the old man without any image. She glanced at the fish basket beside him and curled the corners of her lips. "Old Ginseng Master, you're learning from Jiang Taiweng. Those who are willing to take the bait will take. I haven't seen you catch a fish for a long time."
The old man blew his beard and glared at her after being ridiculed. "I'm here to cultivate my sentiments. I've stolen half of my life's leisure. You, on the other hand, are good. A little rabbit spirit like you actually went to provoke that wolf demon."
Looking at the medicinal herbs in the basket, Siyang shrugged indifferently. "Natural treasures are bestowed by the heavens. Everyone can have them. That wolf demon snatched them from others. What's wrong with me snatching them from him?"
"That's true." The old man stroked his beard. "You and Mei Niang have always been kind to others. Why do you suddenly want to fight over these things?" This really didn't seem like the usual behavior of a rabbit spirit.
It's good to be a good person, but in the end, it's still the same as sitting at home. Disaster will come from the sky. A person's strength is weak, and he can only be a chess piece.
"Of course I'm working hard. You should be happy, Old Ginseng." Siyang giggled as she skipped the conversation. She leaned closer and said, "It must be fate for us to meet here today."
All of a sudden, the old man's hand that was holding the fishing rod trembled, and the tranquil surface of the lake was broken by ripples.
"The fish took the bait." Siyang's eyes were sharp and her hands were fast. She reached out and took the old man's fishing rod. Then, she began to pull the struggling fish.
The old man slapped his thigh and laughed happily. "It's a big fish."
The two of them worked together to pull the fish up. It was indeed a big fish.
"Congratulations, Old Ginseng. You've made such a good start. You see, I've been working hard for half a day. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?" Siyang shook the water off her hands and moved closer to the old man who was happily staring at the fish.
The old man glanced at her. "Girl, when did you learn to be so clever? It must be Mei Niang who taught you. Why don't you learn from her?"
Listening to his string of complaints, Siyang smiled but didn't say anything. She stretched out her hand and said, "Please do me a favor. Look at the Chinese Knotweed I just ate. I just need someone to make medicine for me."
"You, you." The old man helplessly pointed at Siyang and rolled his eyes. He carefully pulled out two strands of his beard and said, "This is for you. I can't give you more."
"Don't be so stingy. Old Ginseng will grow out these roots in a few days." With that, Siyang took advantage of the old man's carelessness and pulled his beard again.
"Aiyo, you little brat. My beard." The old man held his beautiful beard and cried out in pain.
In Siyang's palm, there were four to five whiskers of different lengths. She opened her hand and gently blew on them. Those whiskers immediately turned into spiritual light and fell into the basket on her back. When she looked again, there were a few ginseng as thick as radishes beside the freshly picked Chinese knotweed in the basket. Upon closer inspection, they carried a faint trace of spiritual energy.
As expected of the thousand-year-old Amethyst Dragon King Ginseng. Even its roots were top-grade spiritual herbs.
If she didn't meet the old man today, Siyang would've come to find him. Now that she obtained the roots of the Amethyst Dragon King Ginseng, it could be considered as adding another spiritual herb to her wine.
Bai Suzhen transformed into a human form at Mount Qingcheng and began her cultivation journey. Later, she became the disciple of the Old Mother of Mount Li and moved her cave to Mount Emei's Clear Wind Cave.
There were clouds in ancient times. Ning Cui? Dai Yaozhuang, a beautiful woman with slender and beautiful eyebrows, was named Mount Emei. [Note 1]
Mount Emei was divided into several large and small peaks, each with different postures. Some places were lofty and majestic, while others were stacked on top of each other. The scenery was beautiful, colorful, and captivating.
Standing on top of the peak and looking down at the mountains, one's mind would be broadened.
After leaving Strange Treasure Mountain, Siyang changed her route and came to Mount Emei.
Bai Suzhen was cultivating on Mount Emei. After leaving the mountain, she sought an opportunity to attain Dao. Guanyin Bodhisattva gave her a hint, saying that she had yet to settle her fate with the mortal world. Only by settling her karma could she achieve Dao. In order to repay the favor of saving her life a thousand years ago, she chose to repay it with love.
Now, she was in Suzhou with Xiaoqing, who had become her sister, and accompanied Xu Xian. Therefore, there was no one to take care of the cave on Mount Emei.
Of course, Siyang didn't want to look for something in Bai Suzhen's cave. It was just that Mount Emei was rich in spiritual energy and there were many treasures here. Most importantly, there was a thousand-year-old vermillion fruit growing on the mountain behind Clear Wind Cave.
The thousand-year-old vermillion fruit took a thousand years to bloom, a thousand years to bear fruit, and another thousand years to mature. Although it couldn't be compared to the spiritual fruits from the Innate Spiritual Roots, it was a sacred item in Taoism.
Although she didn't know why this tree was growing on Mount Emei and behind Bai Suzhen's cave, she had never found it.
The mountain behind Clear Wind Cave was a barren forest. With Bai Suzhen, there were no other powerful demons around. At most, there were some Little Demons that had just transformed. Siyang didn't want to attract attention, so she avoided them.
After passing through the barren forest, a cliff appeared in front of her. On top of the cliff, there was a small tree. The branches and leaves of the small tree were green and sparkling. Between the leaves, there were bits of spiritual energy. When the wind blew, the leaves swayed. Occasionally, there would be a flash of vermillion, which made one's eyes light up.
She jumped onto the cliff. The small tree was only a little taller than a person. Looking down from the tree, she could see dozens of small vermillion fruits covered by the branches and leaves.
Siyang prepared the immortal brew. The other herbs were secondary. Her main purpose was to use them as ingredients for these vermillion fruits.
As she got closer, she could smell the fragrant aroma of the vermillion fruits. She couldn't help but want to pick them. In fact, Siyang didn't hold back. She summoned her little basket and started picking the fruits.
One, two, three … a total of forty-nine fruits.
Back when Xiaoqing was severely injured by Fa Hai, she couldn't even maintain her human form. After eating a few vermillion fruits, her injuries healed and her cultivation improved. In order to help Bai Suzhen rescue Xu Xian, the two sisters used a lot of magic.
With so many fruits, Siyang suddenly felt like she was surrounded by happiness.
She thought about it. Ever since she came here, she had always been enveloped by an invisible pressure. Although she had a cheat, this was a world of immortals and demons. Her cultivation was still her priority.
Now that she had these vermillion fruits, her cultivation could increase. Although she couldn't compare to a great demon like Bai Suzhen, she shouldn't be at the mercy of others.
