The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 260 "Vine Spirit" Qingheng

At this time, at Meiyun Residence.

The incense stick on the desk, meant for concentration, had long since burned out, leaving only a small clump of fine, grayish-white ash.

Chen Jinshu sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes gently closed, the blue lotus birthmark between his brows shimmering with a faint, warm glow in the dim light.

Her hands were empty, but her mind sank into the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness. The "True Leaf of the Spirit of the Medicine King Valley" that she had obtained had long since vanished into nothingness, and the wisp of enlightenment it contained was being slowly swallowed and analyzed by the illusory image of the Mysterious Female Treasure Furnace.

Her mind was also immersed in comprehending the newly acquired art of plant and tree enlightenment.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

She isolated herself from all outside visitors and devoted herself to cultivation in her cave.

"So that's how it is. By harnessing the power of nature, we can transform stubborn stones into jade and endow plants with spirit. The essence of this lies in communication."

Chen Jinshu slowly opened her eyes. The comprehension she had gained over the past ten days had allowed her to successfully enter the Enlightenment Technique.

With a slight thought, her figure vanished from the quiet room in an instant, and the next moment, she found herself in the spiritual plant space within the Mysterious Female Treasure Furnace.

The space is filled with spiritual energy, several times more concentrated than the outside world.

The newly opened Xuan Yin Spirit Field exudes a warm and restrained dark light.

Upon arriving in the space, she took up the best spot in the center, in front of the withered vines.

It is rooted in the place with the richest spiritual energy, with gnarled vines and a deep green color that is almost dark green. A dozen or so sparse leaves shimmer with a warm and precious light, and it looks much more vibrant than when it was first transplanted.

Chen Jinshu walked slowly to the Immortal Vine, gazing at its vigorous and ancient trunk, his fingertips quietly gathering spiritual energy.

"Little fellow, let's see how our fates unfold."

Having said that, before the immortal vine could even awaken, his hands had already formed a hand seal in front of his chest with lightning speed.

With nimble fingers, the fingertips guided the pure green wood spiritual power within the body, outlining profound and complex trajectories in the void.

Then a faint green light spot formed the 'Awakening' seal in front of her.

"start!"

Chen Jinshu let out a clear shout, and with a magic seal formed by gathering all his mind and immense spiritual power at his fingertips, he gently touched the core of the remnant root of the immortal vine.

boom!
The rich spiritual energy of the five elements was stirred by an invisible force, transforming into visible colorful ribbons of light that converged toward the remnants of the immortal vine.

However, as soon as she activated the Spirit Pointing Technique, her entire being was instantly drained of energy.

In just a few breaths, nearly half of her powerful spiritual energy at the third level of the Golden Core stage was drained away.

The remnant of the Immortal Vine, its deep green vines greedily absorbing spiritual energy, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling azure light. Within the light, countless tiny and intricate runes flickered on the surface of the vines.

After an unknown amount of time, the vines gradually began to bloom with a dazzling blue light, and within the blue light, a blurry, curled-up outline gradually emerged, which seemed to be a small human figure.

A stick of incense passed by.

The remnants of the Immortal Vine have completely disappeared.

Instead, a small figure huddled on the spiritual soil where a faint blue glow remained.

It was the appearance of a girl of about three years old, barefoot, with a small body as white as jade, wearing a short jacket and skirt woven from the purest green and starlight, like a newly sprouted leaf.

Her soft, dark green hair, like the finest silk, cascaded over her shoulders, with a few tiny, tender green buds the size of rice grains dotting the ends.

A faint, pleasant fragrance of herbs and plants emanates from it.

At this moment, Chen Jinshu's spiritual power had been largely restored thanks to the feedback from the Xuanpin Treasure Furnace, but the exhaustion from the mental exertion was still heavy.

She forced herself to move, took a cautious step forward, crouched down, and gazed at the strange creature that had been conjured from the remnants of the immortal vine with a complex expression. The small, curled-up body finally stirred slightly and slowly opened its eyes.

The little girl's eyes were initially blank. She tilted her head slightly and her gaze lingered on Chen Jinshu's face for a moment, as if trying to make out something.

Then she raised a small, fair, almost transparent hand and grasped a half-open flower, made of starlight, that adorned the front of her jacket.

"puff."

With a soft, slight sound, she plucked the little flower.

The little girl opened her mouth and without hesitation stuffed the tiny, shimmering flower inside, her cheeks immediately puffing out slightly.

"good to eat!"

As she chewed, she raised her small face, her clear eyes looking at Chen Jinshu again, the initial confusion gone.

"Qingheng feels this place is so familiar!"

"Qingheng?" Chen Jinshu's heart stirred slightly, and he subconsciously repeated the name.

Is this the original name of the remnant immortal vine?
Or was it a name she gave herself out of sheer ignorance and instinct?
Her little hand reached for another star-shaped flower on her lapel, her movement as natural as if she were simply looking for a snack because she was hungry.

"Oh dear, you can't eat this." Chen Jinshu reacted quickly and gently grabbed her restless little hand.

Qingheng's little hand was held by her, and she didn't struggle. She just stared at Chen Jinshu with a pure innocence and a hint of grievance that her meal had been interrupted.

"Hungry?" Chen Jinshu softened his voice, looking at the bewildered and strange herb spirit in front of him, a wonderful feeling that was hard to describe welled up in his heart.

With a slight movement of her fingertips, a wisp of pure and gentle green wood spiritual energy flowed over.

Qingheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and she instinctively gripped Chen Jinshu's fingers, greedily absorbing the warm current full of vitality, a satisfied and contented expression on her little face.

"It seems we still need to find some genuine herbal essences!" Chen Jinshu sighed softly upon seeing this.

I wonder what the spirits of plants and trees, after being transformed, mainly feed on?
The five-colored soil she obtained is still very useful and should not be wasted.

Soon, Chen Jinshu clearly felt that the wisp of spiritual energy he had transferred was instantly absorbed without leaving a trace.

Immediately, she took out a small jade bottle from her storage ring.

The bottle was warm and smooth, and inside were several second-grade spirit pills, herbal spirit pills, which she had refined herself and were most suitable for low-level spirit beasts or monsters.

This elixir is made from the essence of several gentle spiritual herbs, containing pure herbal spiritual energy. It is an excellent product for replenishing vital energy and nourishing spirituality, and its medicinal properties are extremely mild.

"this is for you."

"It tastes better and is more filling than the herbal spirits we had earlier."

Qingheng barely hesitated before stretching out her two small, white hands, taking the pill, and swallowing it directly.

After she swallowed the pill completely, her little face was flushed, and her blue eyes shone brightly.

"It seems this herbal elixir is very useful to it!"

Then, as if remembering something, she said to Qingheng:

"Qingheng, do you see these spirit fields? They're planted with lots of spirit plants!"

"If you help me manage these spirit fields, how about I give you a herb spirit pill every day as payment?" Chen Jinshu's tone was somewhat tempting.

Upon hearing this, Qingheng's emerald eyes shone even brighter. She looked at the spirit field, then at the jade bottle, a serious expression of thought on her small face, as if she were weighing the "work" and the "reward".

In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the herbal elixir and nodded in agreement.

"it is good!"
