Chapter 147: Accompanying the Hundred-Year-Old Fluorescent Herb, the Green Rock Longevity Giant Turtle
At this moment, the arrival of two figures broke the tranquility of this area.
Li Mengxi, who had just stabilized his body, looked at the large lake and the fireflies that filled the sky. It was the center of the lake that was like the sun.
A trace of infatuation flashed across their eyes, but they quickly regained their senses. However, Li Mengxi still could not help but say, “this place is so beautiful.”
Although Su Yi had some feelings in his heart, he did not exclaim like Li Mengxi.
After all, Li Mengxi was still a girl who had just stepped into the path of immortality. Even though she had experienced the cunningness of cultivators over the past few months, she had still not lost her girl’s heart.
However, he was different. He was not that emotional. His eyes were fixed on the bright sun in the middle of the lake.
Only by pouring true essence into his eyes could he not be affected by the bright sun, and thus be able to see what was in the light.
It was a plant, a medicinal herb that was emitting a lot of spirit energy.
Then, he looked at Li Mengxi, who was standing to the side. At this moment, she seemed to be intoxicated by the sight of the stars in the sky and the earth.
Therefore, he did not make a sound to disturb Li Mengxi. At this moment, the light from the lake shone on Li Mengxi’s face. Her pair of beautiful pupils reflected the stars in the sky.
When Su Yi saw Li Mengxi in such a state, he was actually stunned for a moment. It was not that he had any feelings for her.
It was just that ever since he had gotten to know this Li family’s young miss, she had always looked like a strong woman. He had never seen such a little girl’s appearance before.
At this moment, Li Mengxi seemed to have noticed that she had lost her composure. She quickly shook her head and turned around to see Su Yi staring at her. Immediately, a strange feeling rose in her heart.
The expression on her face returned to her usual calm expression as she faintly asked, “fellow Daoist Su, what’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”
He recovered from his shock after hearing Li Mengxi’s words. He looked at her and spoke in a faint voice without any hesitation, “I did not expect that the young miss of the Li family would reveal such a young lady-like expression. This is really strange to me.”
At this moment, he absolutely could not turn his head away. He also could not feel embarrassed or shy. Otherwise, one of them would definitely misunderstand something.
However, Su Yi and Li Mengxi felt like they were ordinary cultivator friends. They did not have any other thoughts, so they did not feel embarrassed to communicate with each other.
Unexpectedly, Li Mengxi lightly sighed and said, “fellow Daoist Su, sometimes it’s not a good thing to be born into a family. There are so-called restrictions between every action, including the most important marriage. So, if you really have feelings for her, then work hard.”
A hint of loneliness flashed through her eyes, but she hid it well. This was something that even Su Yi did not notice.
Su Yi, on the other hand, was completely confused. How was this related to marriage? Who was this ‘her’?
It was really baffling. He shrugged slightly and did not say anything. Li Mengxi, on the other hand, sighed lightly when she saw him like this and did not say anything else.
After that, she also turned her gaze towards the light of the sun in the middle of the lake. True essence surged faintly in his eyes, immediately causing the intense light to discard the feeling of discomfort.
Just by clearly seeing the thing that was emitting light, she could see that her chest was heaving up and down slightly. One could imagine how excited she was right now.
That was because what was wrapped in the sunlight was actually a fluorescent herb. This strange fluorescent herb reminded her of the time when she had asked Su Yi about the special characteristics of the aged medicinal herbs.
At that time, Su Yi had mentioned that there might be some strange phenomena, but was this not the case now?
“Fellow Daoist Su, is this…?”
She looked at Su Yi and asked. Her eyes were filled with anticipation. She was looking forward to hearing a confirmation from Su Yi.
Upon seeing this, Su Yi gently nodded his head and faintly said, “it should be. However, we will only know how many years it is after we collect it.”
Upon hearing this, a happy expression appeared on Li Mengxi’s pretty face. After searching for a day, she had finally found it.
However, just as they were about to head towards the center of the lake, there was a commotion in the lake. At the center of the lake, there was a huge rock that had fluorescent herbs growing on it, it was emitting a strange light.
It… it… ran?
That’s right. Under the shocked gazes of the two of them, they saw the huge rock at the center of the lake slowly disappearing into the distance.
Under the intense light of the fluorescent grass, they could vaguely see that there was actually a huge demon beast under the huge rock.
“Chase after it!!”
Without any hesitation, Su Yi’s body slightly moved after throwing out these words. He poured his true essence into his legs, and then stepped on the water as he ran towards the fluorescent herb.
Li Mengxi was not willing to be outdone. Moreover, that fluorescent herb was a huge matter related to her immortal sect’s mission. She moved her true essence under her feet and actually caught up with Su Yi.
However, she did not expect that the demon beast in the lake was not slow underwater. It immediately left with a swoosh.
At this moment, a strange scene appeared on the lake. Two black cultivators were chasing after a glowing and moving boulder.
However, no matter how fast this demon beast was, it was still not faster than Su Yi. One had to know that he was a man like the wind.
In a short span of a breath, he climbed up that moving boulder. Oh, to be precise, it was a demon beast.
In Su Yi’s eyes, the information on the bemon beast’s interface appeared.
[Demon king: Green Rock Longevity Giant Turtle]
[Bloodline: Longevity bloodline]
[Realm: Early foundation establishment stage]
[Description: A type of demon beast that isn’t good at fighting. However, it can often kill several generations of cultivators…]
Looking at the additional description, Su Yi felt a little amused. No wonder when the demon king sensed Su Yi’s presence, its first reaction was not to attack, but to flee.
Unfortunately, the fluorescent herb on its back was too dazzling. It was hard not to notice it.
At this time, Li Mengxi also caught up. With a light tap of her toes, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake. She also jumped onto the huge rock Su Yi was on, which was the back of the demon king.
The demon king sensed that the two cultivators on his back had actually stopped fleeing. Clearly, he had given up on struggling.
“Fellow Daoist Su, this…”
Li Mengxi was a little curious as to why she had stopped moving the moment she stepped onto the rock.
Who knew that he would say with a smile, “take a look for yourself.”.
After saying this, he pointed at the bottom of the rock. Li Mengxi’s eyes focused. The attributes of the huge Green Rock Longevity Giant Turtle appeared in her eyes.
She immediately felt that it was a little funny, and spoke to Su Yi, “it seems that this demon king’s intelligence is quite high.”
He also nodded his head in agreement. This Green Rock Longevity Giant Turtle was not as ferocious as other demon beasts, and it was indeed a little strange. As for the fluorescent herb on its back, it might even have lived for a hundred years…
The two of them did not pay any attention to this demon king. It was neither a threat, nor was it worth killing, so the two of them did not care.
They saw Li Mengxi walking towards the fluorescent herb that was still emitting the sun’s rays. She raised her hand slightly, and rays of light shone down.
