The silly junior sister is prone to erratic behavior, offering an unconventional way to revitalize t

A small purple flower bud grew at the root node of the snake blood vine.

If Xie Mo saw it, he would definitely recognize it as the purple Shadow Leaf Lotus that he had been longing for.

Before this, Yunxi analyzed her previous successful planting experience and concluded that the method of planting this Shadow Leaf Lotus was not difficult. As long as it was given enough spiritual energy, it could grow.

But in all this time, no one has ever managed to grow a purple one, which can only be attributed to the fact that it requires an enormous amount of spiritual energy.

Yunxi tried changing the soil for spirit plants and adding fertilizer to the soil, but she did not get a satisfactory result.

After much deliberation, she grafted the Shadow Leaf Lotus onto her true form's Serpent Blood Vine.

After numerous experiments, some results were actually achieved.

The snake blood vine itself can serve as fertilizer for spiritual plants and possesses strong vitality and extensibility. After grafting, these characteristics will be imparted to Shadow Leaf Lotus to some extent. In addition, she has a contract with the Kunpeng and obtains a divine beast space rich in spiritual energy, which is equivalent to adding another layer of spirit-gathering array.

Multiple factors combined to barely manage to cultivate a small purple flower bud.

But getting it to bloom isn't so easy.

The vines used for grafting are her true form, and only she herself can provide the Shadow Leaf Lotus with the appropriate spiritual power.

Yunxi poured most of her spiritual power into the flower bud every day, barely managing to keep it from withering prematurely.

In order for the flower bud to survive, she had no choice but to temporarily suppress a portion of her cultivation to avoid a shortage of spiritual energy due to depletion.

According to the original plan, the Shadow Leaf Lotus was supposed to bloom around the time she could cultivate to the Golden Core stage even while suppressing her cultivation. However, things didn't go as planned. She got desperate while fighting the Bone-Eating Wolf, so she stopped suppressing her cultivation and went all out, breaking through to the Golden Core stage ahead of schedule. If things continue as they are now, she might not have enough reserves to provide sufficient spiritual energy for the Shadow Leaf Lotus once she successfully reaches the Golden Core stage.

Yunxi sighed and had no choice but to proceed with plan B.

She was responsible for receiving the lightning tribulation, while Shadow Leaf Lotus was responsible for absorbing the immense spiritual power that came with the lightning tribulation.

She touched the flower buds, her expression very serious: "You have to pay extra!"

Increase the amount of money.

Xie Mo hesitated for a moment, then tilted his head: "I think I heard Junior Sister speak!"

When Yunxi underwent her tribulation, she left them with a hungry, hungry tuna. Ye Jin had already taken out a Bone-Eating Wolf and was skillfully processing it. Hearing this, he sneered, quite dissatisfied: "She should be thankful she wasn't struck dead, how could she have the strength to speak?"

Qi Jue stroked the fluffy baby bird, then frowned as he looked at the small fire he had suddenly gathered together. He rarely showed such a serious expression. He took two steps forward, grabbed the Bone-Eating Wolf's leg, and tossed it aside without any emotion.

"?" Nightfall asked, "What are you doing?"

Qi Jue answered seriously, "Wolf meat doesn't taste good!"

Nightfall: "???"

The boy was usually mild-mannered and easy to talk to, except when it came to food, when he displayed his extremely high standards. He rummaged through his bag and pulled out half a black pig that was left over from the last meal, along with a large pot, a cleaver, and even a cutting board.

Nightfall: "..."

Nightfall's expression was complicated: "When did you prepare this?"

Qi Jue then obediently pulled out two large cabbages and a bunch of scallions: "I bought them in Crescent Moon City."

Nightfall: "..."

The boy couldn't help but take two steps back, his mouth opening and closing, though there wasn't much sound, it was clear that he was swearing.

Qi Jue pursed his lips, hugged Tun Tun in his arms, and the two of them gave him their bright, watery eyes.

Qi Jue: (｡•́︿•̀｡)

Tonton: (๑•́₃ •̀๑)

Nightfall: (̿▀̿ ̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿)̄

"Pfft..." Xie Mo chuckled, covering his mouth, and asked, "Junior Brother, where's the salt?"

You always need to prepare some seasonings when cooking.

Qi Jue had just taken out the Spirit Field Rice he bought at a high price a second ago, and the next second the freeze button was pressed.

Seemingly sensing something, the entire style of the painting changed from color to black and white.

Tuntun tilted her head and poked his hand.

"Click...click..."

The boy froze, his heart shattered at that moment.

he!

He even bought the tools for washing pots and pans, and even a small dining table.

Surprisingly... no salt was bought.

Qi Jue covered her face and cried out, "No..."

Seemingly unable to withstand such a blow, Qi Jue left behind a defeated figure.

▄█▀█●

"..." Xie Mo didn't expect that his casual question would turn his junior brother into a junior brother (heartbroken version). He didn't really want to comfort him; instead, he wanted to laugh even more.

"Tsk!"

Ye Jin rubbed his temples, then flipped his hand and tossed a salt shaker into his arms: "Stop pretending!"

Qi Jue's face instantly lit up with sunshine: ~(≧▽≦)/~

The one who was puzzled became Shermö: "Where did you get this salt from?"

His back stiffened, and after a moment of silence, he expressionlessly pulled out a kitchen knife, swung his arm around it, and with a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" chop, he had perfectly gotten into character.

Xie Mo: "..."

It's clear that he really wants to be a chef.

Xie Mo turned his head to look at Su Yuanshuang.

During the break time for everyone, the eldest sister surprisingly didn't bring her book. She simply stood quietly to the side, watching Yunxi undergo her tribulation.

For a moment, Xie Mo thought their little team was pretty good; at least no one would be greedy and want to explore the new secret realm first.

Everyone was together waiting for their companions.

He gazed in the direction of the lightning tribulation, remaining silent for a long time. As if he had thought of something, his eyes darkened slightly. He found a spot by himself and began drawing talismans endlessly again.

Qi Jue was serving tea and water, massaging Ye Jin's shoulders and legs, practically begging Ye Jin to feed him.

The boy caught sight of him out of the corner of his eye, paused for a moment, and cautiously approached: "Second Senior Brother, aren't you going to rest for a bit?"

Xie Mo affixed two spirit-gathering talismans to himself and took out a few Qi-restoring pills. After a slight pause, he actually put the pills away and whispered, "I'm fine."

His face was deathly pale, and his lips were completely bloodless; he didn't look like he was alright at all.

Ye Jin casually stir-fried some pork and cabbage, slapped it on the small dining table, and Tun Tun flew over and started eating, even rubbing against his hand affectionately to express her gratitude.

Qi Jue, however, wasn't too agitated. He remained beside Xie Mo, resting his chin on his hands, and asked softly, "Second Senior Brother, are you unhappy?"

Xie Mo paused for a moment.

A faint smile appeared on her face: "No, not at all."

He said sincerely in a soft voice, "I'm very happy to be able to go down into the secret realm with you all."

Qi Jue tilted his head, and it was impossible to tell that he was happy.

Xie Mo curled his fingers slightly and sighed, "I just felt I should do something first..."

Ye Jin also cooked rice and stir-fried two dishes.

Before the food was even cooked, he frowned in frustration, forcibly pulled both of them up, and kicked Qi Jue over.

"Whatever you're going to do..."

He said arrogantly, "If you dare to make my food even a little cold, I'll fry you all."
