[Silver Domain, Willow Tree Forest]
"Sect sister Xue, do not walk around. Wait for me here; I'll be back after I pick up the herbs." Yi Yanlin said gently as he stood up and didn't wait for her reply.
He flew in the same direction that Yang Meili had gone.
After Xiu Wanxue made sure that no one was here, she stood up and walked in the opposite direction.
If the two of them found out that she was so disobedient and didn't listen to their warning, they would be so mad to knock her head off. Especially Yang Meili.
Xiu Wanxue went deeper and deeper into the Willow Tree Forest. The forest was very huge, so she wasn't concerned that she would meet them.
Should I plant some of the purple willow trees in my small world?
After her thought, she released her spiritual sense to check the surroundings to make sure that no one was here except her. She waved her hands to take ten willow trees to plant inside her small world.
"Swoosh!!"
The branches of the purple willow trees in front of her were cut down.
With her thought, she picked up the branches of the willow trees to plant inside the purple soil inside the small world of the old bracelet.
Having finished everything, she strode forward according to the memory from her previous life.
She reached a mountain cave. The cave looked very hidden; if she hadn't been lost in her previous life and accidentally got here, she would never be able to find out that the cave existed.
As she walked further and further, she finally reached another place that was unbelievably impressive.
In front of her, there was a huge, bottomless, clear blue lake. She didn't know how deep the lake was.
She was very curious because this lake looked like an ocean. Clearly, it was just a lake, no matter how she looked.
Near the lake, a land like a paradise presented itself in front of her.
The grass was green, the rocks were clean, and the exotic and rare flowers were growing everywhere, emitting an uplifting and fresh scent.
Numerous various spirit fruit trees were growing on the land.
The spirit fruits are different from the normal fruits. The spirit fruits are the fruits that absorb the spiritual power from heaven and earth.
The spirit fruits bring a lot of benefits to cultivators, depending on what type of spirit fruits they are.
She picked up two fruits from each of the fruit trees as she began to transplant the seed inside the fruits to plant in the purple soil.
She doesn't have time to taste the spirit fruits one by one right now or enjoy the scenery longer because Yi Yanlin and Yang Meili will come back any time after they complete their missions.
If they don't see her, they will think that something happened to her.
She could just take everything here to her small world, but she won't because she already took one of each spirit plant here to plant inside her small world. Sooner or later, she will eventually make another paradise the same as this one inside her bracelet.
When she wanted to get out of here, she heard a soft whimper of pain. She was startled to look around, trying to find out who made the sound.
The sound was low and light, as if it floated from somewhere far away, yet so close. She almost didn't notice this sound.
"Who is it?" She asked with a cautious attitude as her vigilance reached its peak.
There was no one speaking for a long time.
When the bloody smell of blood floated to her nose, her eyebrows wrinkled. This blood wasn't fishy but had a kind of aroma that could confuse people's minds.
She shook her head, trying to make her mind clear to get rid of the dizziness. Her body was soft. It was too late for her to close her five senses (taste, smell, vision, hearing, and touch).
Due to the unsteadiness of her body, as if there were no gravity in space, her body subconsciously floated as she approached the clear blue lake step by step.
"Plop!!!"
She unexpectedly fell down into the bottomless lake. Her spiritual power cannot fight what is trying to drag her down to the bottom of the lake.
As a cultivator whose strength was at Qi Condensation, she couldn't breathe under the water for hours like other cultivators whose level surpassed her level.
She could only hold on for ten minutes at most. She mobilized her spiritual power and wanted to get rid of the thing that was wrapping around her. Her vision blurred; she could only see red blood in front of her.
Her soft hands reached out, touching the thing that was binding her. She found out that this thing was the spirit water vine. There was only one water vine dragging her body deeper and deeper into the lake.
No wonder this water vine was strong because it absorbed the spiritual power from the lake.
The spiritual power circled around her hand, and the light blue color of the ice element came out of her palms.
"Bang!!"
She hit the spirit water vine fiercely as she tried to resist the spirit water vine's binding.
The spirit water vine trembled yet refused to let her go. The light green light emitted from the spirit water vine, which illuminated the darkness of the lake. It wrapped itself around her arms, her legs and even her waist like a snake.
"Hmmm!!" She choked on the water, and her eyes turned white because she lacked the oxygen to breathe.
She wasn't a fish; how could she stay under the water for a long time?
Her palms wrapped around the spirit water vine as the coldness emitted from her body, freezing the spirit water vine.
She didn't intend to hurt this spirit water vine because everything has spirit. But to save herself from death, she has to do it. She used all her strength to break free and raise her spiritual power to its peak. Unfortunately, her strength couldn't even win against this spirit water vine. Her struggling was in vain.
"!!!!!!!!!!!" The spirit water vine seemed to be in extreme pain. Nevertheless, it refused to let her go and dragged her down fiercely.
Xiu Wanxue felt that she saw heaven and a white cloud in front of her. Is she dead? Is she going to die because she drowned?
When her eyelids were heavy, she instantly opened her eyes wide when she saw a tall silhouette of something swimming toward her.
"Cough!!" Finally, she couldn't withstand the lack of oxygen for breathing; she fainted.
Before she lost her consciousness, she seemed to see a mermaid's tail...
Xiu Wanxue was speechless. What time is it now? Why would the mermaid live in this lake? She must be so desperate that she wishes some fish would pop up and save her from drowning.
Her other thought was: why was this spirit water vine so strong and desperate to drag her down?
