Yue Guan took the immortal herb record handed to him by Ye Xi, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Second Miss, you are too kind."
At this moment, Bibi Dong's gaze also turned to Ye Xi; her eyes were very calm, devoid of any emotion.
"Supreme Pontiff Your Excellency."
Ye Xi's eyes looked at Bibi Dong, her tone neither humble nor arrogant, simply gazing quietly at Bibi Dong in front of her.
"Hmm, Miss Ye Er."
Looking at Ye Xi's sapphire blue eyes, Bibi Dong merely nodded slightly, her tone neither cold nor warm.
Hu Liena, standing by the side, watched Ye Xi's actions and seemed about to say something, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Bibi Dong's wave of her hand.
"Alright, Ye Xi."
"Let's go."
Qian Daoliu glanced at Bibi Dong, then led Ye Xi out of the Supreme Pontiff Palace and walked towards the carriage at the entrance.
"Teacher, what kind of attitude was that?"
Watching Ye Xi's departing back, Hu Liena said discontentedly.
"What's so strange about it?"
"When have the Supreme Pontiff Palace and the Hall of Offerings ever been on good terms?"
Bibi Dong waved her hand indifferently, her tone full of nonchalance.
Ever since she became the Supreme Pontiff, the relationship between the Supreme Pontiff Palace and the Hall of Offerings had never been good.
So, she didn't care about Ye Xi's attitude at all.
Hu Liena seemed to want to say more, but Bibi Dong did not give her a chance to speak.
"Nana, go back to the rear hall to Cultivate."
Bibi Dong's gaze turned to Hu Liena beside her.
"Yes, Teacher."
Hu Liena responded, then walked towards the rear hall.
Gui Mei and Yue Guan in the main hall seemed to have not seen what had just happened, simply standing silently in place, not saying a word.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Inside the luxurious and comfortable carriage, Ye Xi reached out and lifted the curtain, curiously observing the scenery along the way.
This was her first time leaving Spirit City, so she was very curious about the scenery outside.
"Ye Xi, it's about a four-day journey from Spirit City to the Star Dou Great Forest. If you're bored, you can meditate and Cultivate in the carriage."
"Although sitting in meditation to Cultivate cannot replace sleep, it can greatly relieve fatigue."
Qian Daoliu said, gently stroking Ye Xi's silver hair.
"I understand, Grandpa."
Ye Xi nodded lightly, put down the carriage curtain, and sat cross-legged in the carriage, beginning to Cultivate through meditation.
After seeing Ye Xi enter meditation Cultivation, Qian Daoliu leaned back in the carriage and began to close his eyes and rest.
The carriage they were in was pulled by a Spirit Beast called a Scaled Horse, and the carriage was equipped with soft cushions and shock absorption devices, so even though the carriage moved very fast, sitting inside, one would basically not feel any bumps.
Four days later.
To the south of the Heaven Dou Empire, a carriage stopped in front of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Qian Daoliu and Ye Xi stepped out of the carriage, and looking at the primeval forest before them, a hint of excitement appeared in Ye Xi's eyes.
Because she would obtain a spirit ring here and officially begin her own Cultivation Dao.
"Let's go, Ye Xi."
"This time, we're going to find a suitable spirit ring for you in the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Qian Daoliu led Ye Xi into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Looking at the scenery of the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Xi gazed around.
"Ye Xi, the main Spirit Beasts we are looking for are: Blood Mist Mantis, Dead Soul Golden Eagle, and Man Faced Demon Spider."
"From an attribute perspective, the Man Faced Demon Spider is the most suitable for you. Although the Blood Mist Mantis and Dead Soul Golden Eagle are slightly inferior, they both possess a very practical ability that will be of great help to you in the early stages."
Qian Daoliu said as he walked.
"Grandpa, if I remember correctly, the Blood Mist Mantis's special ability is Blood Mist, and the Dead Soul Golden Eagle's special ability is Etherealization, right?"
Ye Xi thought for a moment and then spoke what she knew.
"Hmm, if we can find them, prioritize the Blood Mist Mantis and Dead Soul Golden Eagle to see if you can gain Spirit Abilities related to their powers when absorbing their spirit rings."
"If we really can't find them, then choose the Man Faced Demon Spider as an alternative."
Qian Daoliu released his mental force and continuously probed the surroundings.
Ye Xi silently followed beside Qian Daoliu.
Every single content, without a single error, was looked at one by one!
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.
After searching all day with no success, Qian Daoliu and Ye Xi were now sitting under an ancient tree, roasting meat to fill their stomachs.
"It smells so good, Grandpa, you should try some too."
Ye Xi took a bite of the roasted meat and handed a piece of the roasted meat beside her to Qian Daoliu.
"Okay, Grandpa will try some too."
Qian Daoliu took the roasted meat with a chuckle and took a bite.
Although he was eating roasted meat, Qian Daoliu was constantly using his mental force to probe the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, Qian Daoliu stopped eating the roasted meat and turned his gaze to the left.
"Ye Xi, stop eating for now."
"Grandpa has found the spirit ring you need."
Qian Daoliu said, then picked up Ye Xi, and his figure moved quickly.
In just a few blinks of an eye, Ye Xi saw a praying mantis appear in front of them, over a meter long, entirely dark red, and emitting a faint mist.
"Blood Mist Mantis, its age is probably around 650 to 700 years."
Qian Daoliu looked at the Blood Mist Mantis in front, then at Ye Xi in his arms, and after a rough estimation in his mind, he placed Ye Xi on the ground.
"Ye Xi, just wait here for a moment."
After Qian Daoliu said this, he went towards the Blood Mist Mantis.
Before Ye Xi could even respond, she saw Qian Daoliu raise a hand and strike down towards the Blood Mist Mantis.
With a loud thud.
The Blood Mist Mantis was slammed to the ground by Qian Daoliu, and even several cracks appeared on the ground. Under this blow, the Blood Mist Mantis's body was twitching slightly; although not dead yet, it was not far from death.
"I almost lost control."
Qian Daoliu murmured to himself, then took out a short sword and came to Ye Xi's front.
"Ye Xi, take this short sword and stab it into the Blood Mist Mantis's head."
Handing the short sword to Ye Xi, Qian Daoliu pointed at the Blood Mist Mantis's head.
"Grandpa, I understand."
Ye Xi took the short sword and came before the Blood Mist Mantis, then the short sword in her hand stabbed down into the Blood Mist Mantis's head.
The moment the short sword pierced down, blood splattered, but Ye Xi did not feel scared; instead, she felt a joy coming from her Spirit.
The Blood Mist Mantis's body stopped twitching, and a yellow spirit ring emerged from its body.
Seeing the appearing spirit ring, Ye Xi immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, using her spirit power to guide the Blood Mist Mantis's spirit ring to land on her, and began to absorb it.
Qian Daoliu, watching Ye Xi absorbing the spirit ring, sat down nearby, constantly paying attention to the surroundings.
