626: Chapter 626 Moonlight

In this vast, white world, there were no mountains or marshes, no flowers, grass, or trees.

Moreover, his entire body felt as if it were shrouded in thick, viscous fog; his five senses became extremely dull, and the Qi throughout his body showed signs of slowly draining away.

"Eye of Chaos, activate!"

As two beams of golden light shot out from his pupils, with a crisp popping sound, the world before him instantly collapsed.

It was indeed an illusion.

Xiao Chen returned to the reality of the Wild Ancient Marsh, where dilapidated peaks and desolate marshes remained before his eyes.

Tang Youlan was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh no!"

Xiao Chen secretly thought this was bad; Tang Youlan did not have the Eye of Chaos, so could she be trapped in the illusion?

But upon reflection, he thought that shouldn't be the case; she was a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator and also possessed the Exquisite Immortal Body, so it was impossible for her to be completely defenseless.

He waited in place for a long time, but she still didn't appear.

Xiao Chen grew anxious and took out his sound transmission jade slip, only to realize he couldn't transmit any sound; the green smoke permeating the area acted like an invisible barrier.

...

"Hehehe... what a wonderful Exquisite Immortal Body!" An exclamation filled with excitement echoed in the dim space.

Tang Youlan's expression was solemn as she expanded her Primordial Spirit barrier to the surroundings, looking around vigilantly: "Stop playing tricks, come out!"

"Hehehe... don't be impatient, little Beauty! You will soon become a part of us."

Another deep, hoarse voice reminded: "That Human Race brat possesses the Eye of Chaos and actually broke free from our control!"

"Don't worry, let him live for a few more days. Concentrate all our Qi and refine this Exquisite Immortal Body first."

"Trying to refine this palace mistress? Not so easy!"

Tang Youlan formed hand seals, and a black treasure mirror flew out, condensing a layer of silver light around her body.

...

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen was pacing in place, at a complete loss, when an anxious cry for help from a woman came from behind him: "Brother, save me..."

Looking towards the sound, he saw a white, graceful figure flying through the air, followed by two male figures—one green and one purple.

The White-Robed Woman came flying over in a disheveled state. Upon seeing Xiao Chen, she looked as if she had found a final straw of hope and quickly arrived by his side.

Only then did Xiao Chen notice that this was an incredibly beautiful woman wearing a white dress; her skin was fair with a rosy tint, as if it could drip water with a single pinch.

Her unique long green hair hung down, brushing in the wind and carrying a faint, refreshing fragrance that didn't belong to the kind of hair scent typical of the Human Race.

Especially those innocent, large eyes, tearful and glistening, paired with that petite and graceful figure... she was truly pitiable!

Looking down, the cleavage formed by her twin jade peaks was so spectacular that Xiao Chen's first reaction was how such a petite figure could support so much weight.

A Data Panel slowly appeared before his eyes:

Name: Yuehua

Age: 9999

Race: Wood Clan

Gender: Female

cultivation level: Spirit Transformation Stage First Level

Rating: 5S

Physique: None

charm value: 98 / 100

affection value: 20 / 100

Seeing the race column, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned; it was actually a woman from the Wood Clan, and to be able to Cultivate to the Soul Transformation Stage in just ten thousand years was truly not easy.

The cultivation speed of the Wood Clan was at the very bottom among all creatures of Chaos.

One must know that the Undying Tree from back then had Cultivated in the Flowing Light Illusory Realm for 18 million years and only reached the Soul Transformation Stage Fifth Level.

"Hey!"

A rough male voice interrupted Xiao Chen's train of thought, "Human Race brat, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business and bring disaster upon yourself!"

Xiao Chen glanced over; it was a man wearing a green brocade robe, but the robe looked somewhat incongruous.

Beside him stood a man wearing a purple brocade robe, whose attire was also completely different from his own.

From the Data Panel, Xiao Chen finally understood the reason.

It turned out these were two local Yao Race beings living in the Wild Ancient Marsh.

The Green-Robed Man was named Zang Qing, with a Spirit Transformation Stage Second Level cultivation level, belonging to the Green Scorpion Clan;

The purple-robed man was named Mo Zi, with a Spirit Transformation Stage First Level cultivation level, belonging to the Wolf Spider Clan.

Just as Xiao Chen was observing them, Mo Zi also revealed a sneer: "A mere Spirit Transformation Stage First Level, and you actually dare to run here?"

"You two, leave immediately before I get angry." Xiao Chen said calmly.

Since they were local Yao Beasts of the Wild Ancient Marsh, there was no need for him to make enemies with them; after all, his primary goal was to find spirit plants.

Unexpectedly, the two Yao Race men glared at him fiercely and immediately fled into the green smoke, disappearing from sight.

They just left like that?

Xiao Chen was also a bit surprised, but he didn't think much of it. He turned to look at the battered Wood Clan woman and handed her a top-grade rejuvenation pill.

Yuehua looked at the Medicinal Pill and quickly declined: "Thank you for saving me, Brother. My injuries are of no concern; they will heal automatically."

"Alright."

Xiao Chen sheepishly took back the Medicinal Pill, only then remembering that she was of the Wood Clan, and the rejuvenation pill was refined from spirit plants.

"My name is Yuehua. May I ask your name, Brother?"

"Xiao Chen."

Yuehua's eyes curved, and her voice was as soft as a breeze, "Brother Xiao Chen, did you come here to search for spirit plants?"

"How did you know?"

Yuehua blinked her beautiful eyes and said quite casually, "Don't many Human Race members come here for this purpose?"

"Oh."

"Brother Xiao Chen, what spirit plant are you looking for?"

"Er..."

Seeing him hesitate, Yuehua said earnestly, "Brother, rest assured. Although I am of the Wood Clan, I still understand the principle of repaying kindness. Moreover, my understanding of the Wild Ancient Marsh will certainly exceed yours. Tell me whatever spirit plant you want to find."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded, "Then do you know where there is a Bodhi Reincarnation Lotus?"

"Bodhi Reincarnation Lotus?"

Yuehua looked at him, her gaze clearly filled with doubt.

"Have you never heard of it either?"

"Hmm."

Yuehua nodded and said, "Since I gained sentience, I have never heard of such a spirit plant in the Wild Ancient Marsh."

"Strange."

"There is also a possibility that this spirit plant is extremely rare, and I haven't seen it yet."

Xiao Chen nodded and continued to ask, "Then have you seen the Golden Phoenix Entwining Silk Tree, the longevity fruit tree, or the yin-yang blood bone ginseng?"

He had learned in the Yinshan Black Market that these three treasures existed in the Wild Ancient Marsh, and now that he had come, he must secure all three.

Hearing this, a subtle panic clearly appeared on Yuehua's small face.

"What's wrong?"

Yuehua shook her head, "It's nothing. Why do you want to find fruit trees?"

"I want to transplant the Golden Phoenix Entwining Silk Tree and the longevity fruit tree elsewhere so that I can achieve freedom in spirit fruits."

"That won't work."

"Why?"

"The spirit fruit trees in the Wild Ancient Marsh have long adapted to the climate here. If you forcibly transplant them to other places, they simply won't survive."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "Rest assured, I have my own methods, and I can even make them grow even more vigorously."
