Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

He saw that behind the huge rock, there was a medicinal herb emitting a faint glow.

Shi Ji didn't dare to delay for a moment. She rushed over like lightning and carefully picked the medicinal herb into her hand.

"Huh, it's a thousand-petaled purple flower!"

Shi Ji was immediately taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He knew the preciousness of the Thousand-Petaled Purple Flower and dared not linger for a moment, quickly flying away into the distance, because he knew that the four quasi-immortals might join forces to kill him at any time.

Shi Ji wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but the four quasi-immortals were like a leech, joining forces to kill her.

They were surrounded by a dense array of runes, which shimmered with a mysterious and terrifying light and emitted a terrifying aura capable of destroying the world.

Shi Ji dodged continuously, her figure as elusive as a ghost, yet she was still struck by several runes. Instantly, a piercing pain shot through the struck areas, as if countless steel needles were simultaneously piercing her body.

The intense pain almost made Shi Ji scream out in agony.

Fortunately, Shi Ji was determined and gritted her teeth and endured it.

Just then, another sharp sword aura slashed down, striking Shi Ji's left shoulder like a bolt of lightning, severing her left arm.

Shi Ji quickly pulled her injured left arm back to prevent excessive blood loss.

Immediately afterwards, he used his spatial teleportation ability to instantly leave the spot.

The four cultivators, their expressions grim, chased after Shi Ji like four black whirlwinds. Shi Ji, meanwhile, desperately ran while simultaneously circulating her magical power to heal her injuries.

A chillingly potent poison surged into Shi Ji's wound. This poison, like countless venomous snakes, wreaked havoc on his life force within his body.

"This toxin seems to have a subtle connection with the previous deadly poison."

Shi Ji's gaze suddenly sharpened. He keenly sensed that the strange poison from before seemed to have merged into the newly surging poisonous power within his body.

"It seems this was all a meticulously planned conspiracy. These people deliberately lured me into this canyon and then attacked me!"

Shi Ji narrowed her eyes, a chilling killing intent flashing between her brows.

The treachery and cunning of these people far exceeded Shi Ji's imagination.

They actually devised such a vicious plot to kill him.

However, Shi Ji was also aware that her current situation was extremely precarious. Her opponents were four quasi-immortal level cultivators, whose strength was immense.

Although Shi Ji possesses the strength to challenge opponents of higher levels,

Taking down these four people is easier said than done.
Moreover, there is a group of experts hiding in the shadows, like lurking venomous snakes, waiting for their chance to strike, and they may suddenly launch an attack at any time.

This harsh environment forced Shiji to temporarily withdraw his troops.

Shi Ji returned to the crater. Upon seeing Shi Ji's return, the Fire Qilin immediately came to greet her, its eyes full of concern.

"Young master, are you alright?" the fire qilin asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, how could I possibly get hurt so easily? It's you who are seriously injured and need to be treated as soon as possible," Shi Ji said with concern.

"Young master, I have almost recovered. Now I will take you away from here."

"Okay, let's leave now."

Shi Ji nodded and left the place with the Fire Qilin. After leaving the Flaming Mountain Range, the two once again entered the depths of the mountain range.

Deep in the mountains, they found a secluded cave.

Shi Ji and the Fire Qilin entered the cave. Shi Ji took out a bottle of precious jade marrow and carefully poured it into the Fire Qilin's mouth.

After drinking the jade marrow, the fire qilin recovered a lot from its injuries, but due to excessive blood loss, its body was still extremely weak.

"Let's hide here and rest for the night!"

Shi Ji said.

The fire qilin nodded, then closed its eyes and began to regulate its breathing to recover.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard outside.

Then someone said, "Young master, we have found a treasure!"

Shi Ji opened her eyes, her ears twitched slightly, and she listened carefully to the sounds outside.

He heard footsteps approaching, and Shi Ji flashed out, easily capturing the attacker and throwing him to the ground like trash.

Then Shi Ji looked at the captured cultivator. He was thin and weak, with sallow skin and a lewd expression on his face.

This sleazy fellow was the same cultivator from yesterday; his cultivation level was rather low.

Therefore, Shi Ji captured him with just one move.

"What is that? Show it to me."

Shi Ji looked calmly at the cultivator she had captured.

"It is a lotus flower."

"A lotus flower?" Shi Ji frowned slightly, pondering to herself, "Could this lotus flower be a fragment of the Myriad Saints Demon Lotus?"

If it is indeed a fragment of the All-Hallowed Demon Lotus, then its value is immeasurable.

However, after careful examination, Shi Ji discovered that it was not a fragment of the Halloween Demon Lotus.

"Are you sure it's a lotus? The Myriad Saints Demon Lotus is no ordinary lotus!" Shi Ji asked indifferently, her eyes fixed intently on the other party.

"I'm certain that it's a fragment of the Myriad Saints Demon Lotus. If you like it, please take it!" the cultivator said obsequiously, his face full of fawning smiles.

He hoped that his obsequious behavior would gain Shi Ji's trust and thus save his life.

He was forced to surrender because he had no other choice.

Shi Ji said with a sneer, "I have no use for the fragments of the Ten Thousand Saints Demon Lotus. Since you've delivered them to my door, I'll gladly accept them!"

Shi Ji had just finished speaking.

Suddenly, Shi Ji flicked her finger, and a sharp gust of wind shot out.

A ball of pitch-black flame shot out like lightning in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the black flames completely enveloped the cultivator.

The cultivator engulfed in flames let out an extremely shrill scream as his body began to burn uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, the cultivator was burned to ashes and vanished into the air.

Shi Ji, with a cold expression, strode away, with the Fire Qilin following closely behind.

After they left the cave, the Fire Qilin couldn't help but mutter to itself, "That guy is too cautious! He actually threw that cultivator's corpse into the cliff. He's really ruthless."

“It’s not that I’m ruthless, but that guy won’t give up easily, and I have to guard against his retaliation!” Shi Ji said in a deep voice.

The fire unicorn sighed and said, "Alas, I am truly unlucky to have such a master. Not only do I have to help him refine the fire element crystal, but now I also have to live in constant fear that he will be ambushed. When will this end? I really hope to complete this task soon."

Shi Ji comforted her, "Stop complaining, we still have a long way to go!"

The fire unicorn pouted and said, "Who said I was complaining? I just feel that these days are worse than death, they're too unbearable."

“It won’t be long before we get rid of this problem,” Shi Ji said.

The fire qilin rolled its eyes and said, "You always talk nonsense. But I believe you can definitely do it!" The fire qilin was naturally carefree, and its intelligence didn't increase just because Shi Ji was its master. On the contrary, its wisdom level decreased as it grew older.

"Do you think that guy might come looking for revenge?" Shi Ji suddenly asked.

"It's really hard to say. Maybe that guy is scared out of his wits and won't dare to come. It would be best if he didn't come for revenge, but if he really does, we'll probably have to fight a fierce battle. We'll have to trouble you to help us out then," said the Fire Qilin.

Shi Ji said confidently, "It's a piece of cake, leave it to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji sat cross-legged on the ground and began to devour the immense energy contained in the Fire Element Crystal by circulating the Devouring Emperor Technique.

Shi Ji's magical power flowed wildly throughout her body like a surging river.

With each flow, Shiji's physical body would grow stronger.

After Shi Ji completely refined a piece of fire elemental crystal, his cultivation level actually increased by as much as 30%.

"This is really good stuff, let's continue refining it!" Shi Ji said excitedly.

Although a single Fire Element Crystal is not enough to significantly enhance Shi Ji's magical power, refining it can strengthen his physical body, which is the unique feature of the Fire Element Crystal.

Although this world is rich in spiritual energy, it is not a place where spiritual energy is abundant everywhere.

Shi Ji continued to immerse herself in cultivation, while the Fire Qilin vigilantly observed the surroundings to prevent anyone from ambushing her.

The interior of the Flaming Mountain is vast and teeming with monsters.

If you accidentally get surrounded by monsters, you'll be in big trouble.

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

During this period, Shi Ji refined three Fire Element Crystals in succession, and his physical body had reached a critical point.

If one continues to refine the Fire Element Crystal, the physical body will not be able to withstand it and there is a risk of it exploding.

This was an extremely dangerous situation, and Shi Ji had to suspend the refining of the Fire Element Crystal.

Shi Ji's physical cultivation came to a standstill.

He was originally still some distance away from breaking through to the Great Emperor realm, but with the help of the medicinal effects of these Fire Element Crystals, he directly crossed the barrier of this realm.

Shi Ji successfully broke through to the Great Emperor realm.

After her breakthrough, Shi Ji's strength increased dramatically.

He sensed his current strength and couldn't help but frown slightly.

He could sense that his current power far surpassed that of the past.

This feeling is just so exhilarating.

Shi Ji even felt that she could sweep away anyone in the Great World of Kyushu.

"Let's go see how your mother is doing. She should have woken up by now," Shi Ji said, then flew away with the Fire Qilin. The Fire Qilin, meanwhile, lay on Shi Ji's shoulder and slept soundly.

Shi Ji and the Fire Qilin darted swiftly through the Flaming Mountain.

Seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shiji and the Fire Qilin finally met the Goddess Nuwa.

When Shiji saw the goddess Nuwa, she showed a shocked expression.

"Are you the goddess Nuwa?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

The beautiful woman before him looked exactly like the goddess Nuwa in his memory.

"Huh, you know me?" Nuwa asked in surprise.

Shi Ji rolled her eyes and said, "I've seen your portrait, and combined with my deductions, who else could you be but the Goddess Nuwa?"

Nuwa said, "I know what you want to ask about your mother. I can only tell you that it was all a setup."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's face instantly turned gloomy.

He quickly pressed, "What bureau?"

“I don’t know the specifics of the scheme, but I know your mother was framed. I’ve heard that she was falsely accused. Your mother has always been upright, so how could she be falsely accused? Therefore, I’m certain that the mastermind behind this must be someone else,” said the Goddess Nuwa.

Shi Ji took a deep breath; he really couldn't understand what kind of conspiracy was hidden behind this matter.

"Thank you for informing me of this matter, Your Majesty!"

Shi Ji knew in her heart that Goddess Nuwa truly regarded him as her son.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have revealed such an important secret to him.

Nuwa smiled and said, "There's no need to be so polite. Once you find the murderer and kill him to avenge your mother, that will be enough to fulfill your filial duty to me. I believe that if your mother could know this in the afterlife, she would be very gratified!"

"Yes, I will do my best to get justice for her!"

Shi Ji planned to return to the Chaos Ancient Lamp for a period of seclusion before entering the Flaming Mountain to seek other opportunities.

The goddess Nuwa said with concern, "I know you are worried. Don't worry, while you are out seeking opportunities, I will secretly protect you!"

"Thank you very much!"

After thanking her, Shi Ji returned to the Flaming Mountain.

The fire unicorn couldn't help but ask, "Master, since Goddess Nuwa knows that our mother was wronged, why doesn't she expose this conspiracy?"

Shi Ji's expression was solemn as she said, "This matter is not so simple. It involves extremely powerful forces. Even the Goddess Nuwa would not easily provoke these forces!"

"Oh? Could it be because of those people's ancestors?" the Fire Qilin asked in confusion.

The moment the words left its mouth, the fire qilin gasped. It knew all too well that its ancestors were taboo subjects, and should never be discussed casually, lest disaster befall it.

Shi Ji and Huo Qilin both tacitly kept their mouths shut and stopped talking about their ancestors.

Shi Ji said, "We're almost out of Fire Element Crystals. We need to find new ones as soon as possible."

"It is said that the Flaming Mountain contains many Fire Element Crystals. I think we should find a cave with abundant fire elements to cultivate in, as the environment there is more suitable for cultivation!"

Shi Ji nodded; he had the same idea. So the two of them sped off into the distance.

A day later, Shi Ji discovered a huge fire-type mountain range ahead. He and the fire qilin rushed into the mountain range and began to search carefully.

Soon, Shi Ji found a valley with fire attributes.

Indeed, many precious fire-attribute spiritual herbs grew in that fire-attribute valley, but these herbs were not very old.

It will be at least no more than 50,000 years.

After gathering a batch of precious fire-attribute spiritual herbs, Shi Ji headed towards the edge of the mountain range. However, at that moment, endless flames suddenly surged from the void.

The flames were terrifying, sweeping across the sky like a raging tide, seemingly intent on destroying heaven and earth.

"Not good!" Shi Ji's expression changed drastically in an instant.

The fire qilin also felt that terrifying temperature.

With a violent tremor, the fire-elemental valley collapsed instantly. (End of Chapter)
