"Over here?" Yun Xi asked the flowers beside her.

The flowers swayed, as if sentient.
Yun Xi smiled and walked forward. Before long, she arrived in front of a pond where a snow-white lotus flower was blooming, emitting bursts of strange sounds.
"Lucky me, such a large White Jade Lotus probably has a medicinal age of hundreds of years," she mused.
Just then, a huge monkey covered in crimson fur descended from the sky, roaring furiously at Yun Xi.
Yun Xi, still smiling, said, "Little monkey, would you let me have this White Jade Lotus?"
The giant monkey roared and charged at Yun Xi, clearly refusing.
Yun Xi's smile remained unchanged, the surrounding flowers swayed, and strands of fragrance drifted around. Soon after, the giant monkey's body softened, and he lay down on the ground, slowly falling asleep.
Yun Xi chuckled, "It's not easy to grow so big, so I won't kill you."
She gracefully moved closer to the White Jade Lotus, gently caressed the flower, and chuckled, "Be good, I'll only take the seeds, it won't hurt."
The White Jade Lotus, seemingly sentient, voluntarily spat out its seeds one by one, falling into Yun Xi's hands.
Yun Xi collected the seeds, smiled slightly, and with a flick of her delicate hand, a stream of green light melded into the White Jade Lotus: "This is a thank you gift."
The White Jade Lotus absorbed the green light and immediately shimmered with radiant brightness, shaking its roots repeatedly.
Yun Xi, still smiling, waved at the White Jade Lotus, "Goodbye then."
Yun Xi took a step and turned to leave.
She had just walked out of the valley of flowers when two disciples from the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect landed. One of the disciples quickly began, "Sister Yun Xi, there's been a major event! The Heavenly Snake Sect and the Blood Spirit Sect have joined forces to kill the Immortal Seed of the White Cloud Sect."
Yun Xi blinked, curious, "The Immortal Seed, huh... I heard from grandma that he seems very powerful. Can he truly become an Immortal in the future?"
One of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect disciples scoffed, showing some disdain, "There are plenty of people with talent, but how many of them can truly become Immortals?"
"However, no matter what, the Immortal Seed's talent must be exceptional; otherwise, it wouldn't have triggered the Qi Cultivation Thunder Tribulation," another disciple from the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect added.
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Then let's go and see."
"Are you planning to check out that Immortal Seed, Sister Yun Xi?"
Yun Xi, grinning, replied, "Not really, I'm going to kill Xue Tianhen. Didn't he kill one of our sisters from the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect last time?"
While speaking, Yun Xi took a step, and what seemed like a mere step bridged an immense distance, appearing far away in an instant. After a few more steps, she had disappeared.
The two Ten Thousand Flowers Sect disciples had just regained their composure when their expressions changed, "Oh no, we didn't tell Sister Yun Xi the location."
"Sister Yun Xi is still so reckless… Hurry and follow her."
"Can we even catch up?"
"Stop talking and just go!"
...
In the Dark Moon Forest, Lu Yi sat leisurely by a side, with a fire pile before him roasting a piece of golden meat, exuding a rich aroma.
Next to him, You Jing and Wang Chuanlu were sitting cross-legged, healing themselves, but it was evident from their continuously gulping throats that they were swallowing their saliva.
On the other side, a disciple from the Heavenly Snake Sect was bound all over, numbly watching Lu Yi with a trace of residual fear on his face.
However, when he saw that golden roasted meat, he couldn't help but swallow.
It wasn't really his fault, the roasted meat was just too fragrant!
The disciples from the Heavenly Snake Sect were utterly speechless. Why did this Immortal Seed possess such excellent Spirit Food Cooking skills?
This roasted meat was clearly Spirit Food, and moreover, it was top-grade. Otherwise, how could such an extraordinary fragrance exist?
Lu Yi flipped the meat again, casually infusing strands of Spiritual Energy into it, activating the latent Spiritual Energy within the meat, and sprinkled some of his homemade seasoning. Satisfied, he smiled and said, "It's almost ready to eat."
You Jing and Wang Chuanlu opened their eyes at the same time, staring at the roasted meat.
Seeing their expressions, Lu Yi chuckled and asked, "How have you brothers recovered from your injuries?"
You Jing gratefully replied, "Thanks to Junior Brother's perfect White Jade Pill, I've almost fully recovered."
Wang Chuanlu said seriously, "It's just that I feel a bit weak. I might need to replenish my nutrition."
Lu Yi laughed, "You brothers should also have some of this roasted meat."
"Thank you, Junior Brother!"
The two of them had been waiting for these words and eagerly awaited Lu Yi to distribute the roasted meat.
Lu Yi gave each of them a portion. You Jing took a bite and suddenly his eyes lit up, he looked at Lu Yi in surprise and said, "Junior Brother Lu, I didn't expect your talent to be unparalleled and you could even cook such Spirit Food."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "I practice it in my spare time."
The two exchanged looks, each seeing the same sorrow in the other's eyes.
It's really frustrating to compare oneself with others. Not only does he have better cultivation talent, but the Spirit Food he casually cooks is also so effective. Who can you even complain to about this?
The two looked at each other and kept silent, focusing on their meal.
Lu Yi glanced at them, smiled, and then turned to look at the forest to his right.
There were faint waves of energy hidden there. If it weren't for Lu Yi's strong spiritual power, he might not have noticed them.
They lingered in the distance and did not approach, but they emitted a faint hostility towards Lu Yi.
They must be from the Blood Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Snake Sect, just thinking they are not strong enough, so they are waiting in place.
Lu Yi glanced at the numb-faced disciple from the Heavenly Snake Sect lying on the ground, his lips curling into a smirk that was not quite a smile.
The intelligence must have been leaked by this guy.
But Lu Yi didn't really care, as long as Qin Luo and Xue Tianhen weren't scared off.
Lu Yi thought about it; Qin Luo and Xue Tianhen, being geniuses, definitely had a lot of confidence in themselves. Scaring them off would probably be difficult unless Lu Yi showed absolute strength.
And dealing with the other disciples from the Blood Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Snake Sect didn't require his absolute strength.
With that in mind, Lu Yi was not worried anymore and calmly waited for the big fish to bite.
Just then, a presence approached rapidly. Lu Yi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
It was a somewhat familiar presence.
Soon, Jiang Fan, with a grave expression, flew over quickly from a distance.
Lu Yi was a bit surprised, "Brother Jiang Fan, what brings you here?"
