209: Chapter 209 The Search for the Necklace

"I'm planning to go out for a trip. Do you want to come along?"

Nie Ning asked Heloise.

"Would you let me stay here?"

Heloise glanced at Nie Ning and asked back indifferently.

Nie Ning was momentarily speechless.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would not let Heloise out of his sight.

That's why, sometimes, he really disliked smart people, especially someone like Heloise who couldn't even bother to pretend.

Every time he talked to her, she had an indifferent expression.

Is this brat really that bold?

Doesn't she know that he could wipe her out with a wave of his hand?

"Then get ready. We'll set off tomorrow."

Nie Ning was afraid of being angered to death by Heloise, so he left the basement immediately after speaking.

...

Stepping out of the basement, a lush green forest appeared before Nie Ning's eyes.

Ice Wings unfolded behind Nie Ning, and he flew towards the direction where the Green Steel Devouring Strange Vine had been.

Compared to before, this area was now revitalized, with small trees visible everywhere.

Not long after, Nie Ning found Sensen.

Sensen's Green Crystal Vines were rooted in the soil, and a green glow spread outwards, causing trees to grow and flowers to bloom wherever it passed.

Sensen had now become a great environmental ambassador, spending almost all its time in this forest.

And this was also a way for Sensen to improve its strength.

In this area, Sensen's cultivation speed would greatly increase, as the forest would emit a unique energy feedback to Sensen.

In just two months, Sensen had already reached the late stage of the second rank.

Most importantly, Sensen had no breakthrough bottlenecks!

According to Nie Ning's guess, this was likely due to Sensen possessing some characteristics of a Corruptor.

And Corruptors seemed to have no concept of bottlenecks; they could rapidly grow stronger by devouring living beings.

Of course, Sensen also possessed some characteristics of conventional living beings, requiring the purification of various energies before they could be used.

This was probably the only thing that limited Sensen.

Nie Ning had studied this.

Normal Elemental Power was extremely volatile; purifying energy was a way for living beings to protect themselves, and the spiritual imprint on energy was key to controlling one's own energy.

Even powerful exotic beasts needed to transform Elemental Power.

If Sensen lacked this rule, it would likely not be Sensen here, but a Corruptor that had lost its intelligence.

...

With Nie Ning's arrival, the surrounding green lights merged into Sensen's body, and Sensen's aura also increased a little at this moment.

Nie Ning's eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.

We're all exceptionally talented, so why does your ability seem more awesome than mine?

Sensen, like a forest spirit, slowly floated in front of Nie Ning.

"Looking for me for something?"

Sensen observed Nie Ning and asked in a childish voice.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Hearing this, Nie Ning was a bit displeased and pouted.

"You've only come to see me three times in these two months. The first time was because this place had regained vitality, and you were curious.

"The second time, you wanted to study my abilities and secretly hid nearby to observe me."

"The third time, while I was..."

Sensen recounted as if listing family treasures.

"Hey, hey, stop, stop, stop."

Nie Ning quickly waved his hand to stop Sensen from continuing.

Actually, he was just curious about Sensen's physiological structure.

Not just him, any wizard would be curious about a special life form like Sensen.

However, compared to other wizards, Nie Ning respected human rights more and wouldn't recklessly use his power to forcibly study Sensen.

But this little brat's attitude was as annoying as Heloise's.

"Get ready. We're going out tomorrow."

Nie Ning couldn't be bothered to argue with Sensen anymore.

This little brat's learning speed was too terrifying; it had almost read most of his wizard books. If he stayed any longer, it would surely call him illiterate again.

After leaving, Nie Ning also went back to prepare.

He didn't know when he would return from this trip, so at least he shouldn't skimp on food and drink.

...

The next day, morning.

Nie Ning held the necklace Lilith had given him, and the group rode the Crimson Feather Fire Demon, heading in the direction indicated by the beam of light.

Although he had wanted to go a long time ago, there had been too many things to do, and he never had the time.

Now that he was free, he naturally had to go see what this item was that others wanted to snatch.

The Crimson Feather Fire Demon was very fast, especially now that it had reached the third rank, its speed was almost twice as fast as before.

The group soared through the sky, taking in the beautiful scenery below, feeling their spirits uplifted.

"Are you sure you can really find the treasure? Won't it be a wasted effort?"

Heloise looked at the necklace in Nie Ning's hand, her eyes full of disbelief.

"If we don't find it, we'll just treat it as a trip. Aren't you tired of cultivating every day? Consider it a chance to relax."

Nie Ning shrugged indifferently.

He had always wanted to travel around, and now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to experience the scenery of this world.

Moreover, cultivation should avoid impatience, and occasionally, one must adjust their mindset.

Of course, he would also try to find herbs for breaking through to the Earth Knight level.

"I know a place with treasure. If you promise to let me go, I'll tell you."

At this moment, the Crimson Feather Fire Demon suddenly spoke.

But Nie Ning and Heloise acted as if they hadn't heard, and no one paid any attention to the Crimson Feather Fire Demon.

Because even if the Crimson Feather Fire Demon had a previous owner, its strength couldn't have been that high; the third rank was almost its peak.

Nie Ning didn't really care for such things.

Besides, the Crimson Feather Fire Demon had already advanced to the third rank. Would they release a third-rank exotic beast for some illusory treasure?

But mainly, Nie Ning and the others were afraid of trouble, and no one knew if this guy would suddenly trick them.

The ignored Crimson Feather Fire Demon was very depressed.

In its eyes, these three people were somewhat mentally unstable.

Heloise was obsessed with Alchemy, and Sensen, this little elf, loved to eat magic crystals, which was even wilder than them, the exotic beasts.

As for Nie Ning, he was the most speechless.

Besides cultivation, he dabbled in Alchemy, array formations, Alchemy, Biology, and so on.

His talent wasn't outstanding, yet he learned so many things. The Crimson Feather Fire Demon couldn't understand what Nie Ning wanted to do.

And even though there was Heloise, an Alchemy genius, Nie Ning always liked to secretly tinker with Alchemy Puppets.

Recently, he had become obsessed with Artificial Spirit, mumbling about creating a new life race called 'Rabbit Maidens'.

Are life races that easy to create?

Moreover, you said it's a new race, so why are your Alchemy Puppets still in human form?

Are you really trying to create a new life form, or do you have ulterior motives?

Anyway, the Crimson Feather Fire Demon had figured it out: Nie Ning was definitely the most abnormal person in the group, and he always ignored it.

This was also what drove it most crazy.
