Chapter 59 Searching for Spiritual Fluid
Tang Xin walked forward holding the jar, looked up, and murmured, "I didn't see it."

The ancient tree laughed and said, "Don't worry, it will be ready soon. Just put the container in place first."

Tang Xin followed Gu Shu's instructions with some doubt.

Not long after, spiritual fluid indeed seeped out of his body.

As the spiritual liquid dripped into the container, Tang Xin asked curiously, "You accumulated and stored all this spiritual liquid, right?"

Hearing the sound, the ancient tree said, "It has probably been stored for many years."

Tang Xin frowned slightly: "Just give it to me like this? Or forget it!"

This ancient tree had accumulated some spiritual liquid over many years, and she couldn't bear to take it all away.

As Tang Xin finished speaking, Gu Shu's tone suddenly changed: "Forget it? How can I let it go? You are the mountain guardian, and your words are as sharp as nails. Don't go back on your word. If you say you will take it away, you must take it all!"

"what?"

Seeing Gu Shu's attitude, Tang Xin was stunned. Why was it different from what he thought?
She originally thought that the ancient tree stored the spiritual liquids as treasures, but judging from its tone, the spiritual liquids did not seem like treasures, but rather like poison, and it was eager to take them away as soon as possible.

Seeing Tang Xin's strange expression, the ancient tree smiled and said, "The spiritual liquid will indeed slowly condense in an old fellow like me. In fact, to us, the unrefined spiritual liquid is no different from rainwater."

Tang Xin asked, "Then why do you want to store the spiritual fluid?"

The ancient tree explained, "Although the spiritual liquid has no effect on me, some small animals cannot resist the fragrance it emits. Unrefined spiritual liquid is a deadly poison to them. If I don't hide it, I don't know how many small creatures will die because of their greed."

Tang Xin: "There's actually such a thing..."

Tang Xin had no doubt about what Gu Shu said.

Not to mention the unrefined spiritual liquid, even the refined ancient spiritual wine can only be drunk in small amounts by special creatures.

According to the spirit monkey, the energy contained in the spiritual liquid is too great for ordinary creatures to withstand.

Ancient Tree: "Fortunately, a new mountain guardian has been born. Otherwise, when I die one day, the spiritual fluid stored over the years will overflow, which will be a disaster for those little creatures. So... Lord Mountain Guardian, take it away quickly, don't leave a single drop, otherwise I will be furious!"

Tang Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "If you say so, then you're welcome."

Although the ancient tree has been storing spiritual liquid for many years, there is actually not much, only about a dozen milliliters, which is far less than that of the green pine.

After collecting the spiritual liquid, Tang Xin asked, "Do you know where there is more spiritual liquid?"

Ancient Tree: "I'm not sure about that. I'm not like you guys who can wander around, but..."

Tang Xin's mind moved, and her eyes were filled with anticipation as she waited for what would happen next.

Ancient Tree: "I once heard Master Zhangzhu say that there are many spiritual liquids in the deepest part of the ocean. Do you want to go to the bottom of the ocean and take a look?"

Tang Xin: "Uh...Okay, I'll go to the bottom of the sea and talk to the Dragon King when I have time."

The ocean, the deepest point? I must be crushed to pieces by the atmospheric pressure.

……

After bidding farewell to the ancient tree, Tang Xin went back into the forest, stopping and walking along the way, observing everything around.

Yishan is full of hidden talents, and many things have broken my inherent cognition.

The seemingly ordinary old tree could actually be traced back to the time of Zhangzhu, and even Zhangzhu had picked spiritual liquid from it.

From this perspective, it seems not completely impossible that the green pines in our backyard can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor era.

"Come quickly, sister is here with food again!"

Several monkeys were squatting on the tree. When they saw Tang Xin, they scrambled to climb down and lined up obediently beside Tang Xin.

Tang Xin took out the food she had prepared earlier from her backpack, threw it to the monkeys, and asked with a smile, "I have something to trouble you..."

She brought plenty of food with her, her bag was full.

This time I came here, I wanted to ask the small animals in the mountains if they knew where there was spiritual liquid or old trees.

But before he could finish his words, one of the monkeys stared at Tang Xin's jar and reached out to take it.

Tang Xin didn't tolerate it and immediately stopped him: "This won't work!"

"Oh!"

The monkey immediately retracted its claws: "Sorry, sister, I'm used to it!" Tang Xin: "..."

Suddenly, a roar came from not far away.

"Get away, get away!"

"Spit it out, it's mine, all mine!"

Hearing the roar, several monkeys were startled and climbed up the tree again.

I saw a clouded leopard covered in mud, limping towards me.

One of the monkeys who had climbed up the tree shouted, "Why? You won't spit it out. Come up if you can!"

The clouded leopard looked up at the tree and shouted coldly, "If I really go up there later, you won't agree again."

Recently, Tang Xin would come to the forest from the inn every now and then to visit the clouded leopards and wild boars. He was already accustomed to the way clouded leopards and other animals get along.

"Where's your little brother, the wild boar?"

Seeing the clouded leopard drooling, Tang Xin stuffed the egg yolk pie in his hand into its mouth.

The clouded leopard finished eating, licked the corner of his mouth, and stared at Tang Xin: "Sister, I don't know, I'm not its father."

Tang Xin: "Do you know where I can find spiritual liquid?"

"Earthly liquid?"

Clouded Leopard tilted his head: "Sister, what is spiritual fluid?"

Tang Xin squatted down, shook the jar in his hand, and said, "This is it."

The clouded leopard sniffed and said, "This smell is so familiar. I think I smelled it on a biped a few days ago."

"Twolegs??"

Tang Xin stared at the clouded leopard in surprise: "What do you mean? Did you eat people?"

The clouded leopard shook his head. "No! I don't eat people! It's that biped that's weird, wearing a colorful mask. Wherever he passes, the flowers, plants, and trees wither. I don't dare approach him because he has this strong fragrance."

A monkey on the road also chimed in: "I saw it too! I saw it too! It was so scary, crying and laughing all the time!"

Tang Xin frowned deeply. With every step he took, the flowers, plants and trees around him would wither?
This doesn't sound like a human at all!
It is more like some special creature, like a snake escaping from the mountains and seas.

Tang Xin asked softly, "Are you sure it's a two-legged creature, ugh... a human?"

The clouded leopard wagged its tail and said, "It's definitely a biped. I won't make a mistake."

Monkey: "Sister, it's a human."

Tang Xin thought thoughtfully, some creatures can indeed transform into human form, like Qin Ying and the black bear, so it cannot be concluded that what they saw was definitely a human.

Tang Xin hurriedly asked, "Is the person you are talking about still in this forest?"

Clouded Leopard: "No longer. I saw him leave with my own eyes."

Tang Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I feel relieved."

She was just afraid that she would meet another creature escaping from the mountains and seas.

The shadow cast by her transformation into a snake has not completely dissipated to this day.

One of the monkeys seemed to remember something and said to Tang Xin, "Sister, I seem to have some impression of the contents of the jar. I remember some old trees in the forest also had this fragrance, but they didn't allow us to approach. They also said it was poisonous and that if we ate it, we would die. Anyway, I don't believe it."

After hearing what Monkey said, Tang Xin immediately became interested: "Take me to see it."

Several monkeys looked at each other, then hesitantly looked at the clouded leopard squatting under the tree: "I don't dare to go down, it's too fierce."

Clouded Leopard snorted twice: "Give me a favor and I won't bother you."

……

Above, a pair of sinister eyes scanned back and forth.

Looking at Tang Xin talking to the monkeys in the forest, he let out a strange laugh and then disappeared into the clouds.
