Starting as a spiritual plant master, may I eventually become the master of all lands.

Chapter 126 Escape

Song Chuan's mouth went dry upon seeing Dai Lingjun's body.

At this moment, Dai Lingjun was very different from usual. Of course, it was not because she was naked, but because her eyes were full of power and her expression was cold. Her half-lying posture also revealed a faint languor, as if she was a woman who had long held a high position and was taking a nap on the couch!

If it weren't for the fact that she still had the aura of an early Foundation Establishment cultivator, Song Chuan would have thought she was a Core Formation elder.

Is this really the Senior Sister Dai I know? Song Chuan's eyes swept over her, his mind a jumble of indescribable thoughts.

It seems that the person I suspected of having extracted earth elemental energy was Dai Lingjun. However, her method was far too clever; with just a wave of her hand, the earth elemental energy from the spiritual veins attached itself to her.

Does one possess such abilities in the early stages of Foundation Establishment?

Thinking about these things is useless now; the key question is, what should I do?

Using soil to create clouds allows one to blend into the spiritual veins without being detected, but Dai Lingjun had mentioned having special spiritual bodies and treasures, so she certainly didn't expect someone to be hiding here. She only briefly scanned the area with her divine sense.

If they discover me, I'll be in big trouble.

Just as he was lost in thought, Dai Lingjun suddenly raised an eyebrow. A flash of spiritual light appeared on her body, and a piece of skin the size of a fingernail peeled off her cheek.

Next, cracks of varying sizes appeared on her slender neck, arms, and even her two raised areas, all the way down to her jade-like legs and feet, as if her physical body had encountered a serious problem and was extremely unstable.

She tossed the Spirit-Nourishing Wood aside, still resting her chin on one hand, and with the other hand, she made a hand seal and touched the Spirit-Nourishing Wood. A beam of black light shot out from the spiritual wood and entered...

Her brow.

This is the essence of the Divine Wood, which is highly beneficial to the soul. However, ordinary people don't extract it directly for use; instead, they make it into magical artifacts or wear it directly.

Especially since the piece in Dai Lingjun's hand is only at the third tier, using it like this is simply a waste.

As the black light entered her body, Dai Lingjun pressed several acupoints on her body with one hand, and her body slowly recovered.

Song Chuan stared at this bizarre scene with horror in his eyes.

Beneath Dai Lingjun's cracked skin, there was no physical body.

A puppet? Is she a puppet? But that doesn't make sense; are there puppets this realistic?

Song Chuan felt a chill run down his spine. Recalling all the scenes since he met her, he realized that this woman was no ordinary person.

Damn it, what kind of injury did Dai Lingjun suffer, and what kind of cultivation technique did she practice? Or is there some other hidden story?

"Who?" Dai Lingjun asked softly.

It turned out that the woman had noticed Song Chuan's slightly unstable breathing earlier.

She was currently performing hand seals to heal her physical body. Upon seeing this, Song Chuan used the "borrowing soil to form clouds" technique to its fullest extent, wrapping himself in a thick layer of yellow clouds and flying away.

Dai Lingjun sat up, and with a stretch of her divine sense, she felt a slight fluctuation in her spiritual veins, which had already traveled dozens of feet away.

Her eyes flashed with a cold light. She formed hand seals and pointed again, sending a golden sword aura straight towards the fluctuation.

With another flick of her wrist, a talisman appeared in her hand. She held the talisman in one hand and used her fingernail to carve something on it with the other, seemingly drawing a little figure. But she stopped halfway through.

Looking at her own body, she shook her head and suddenly giggled, "Never mind, they've only seen my body, they can't guess anything."

If using this item fails to kill him, there is a risk of being exposed and the spirit may even deteriorate.

"This person is only at the Foundation Establishment stage; that sword energy might be able to finish him off too."

Her eyes flickered, and then she guessed, "The earth escape technique is exquisite. Could it be that kid Song Chuan? Or is it Wood Stone Stalking or someone else who came to the Wood Guest territory in advance?"

If it's Song Chuan, that would be a bit tricky; we can't resolve this with Mu Ke—"

Afterwards, she casually lay down again, using one hand to perform a hand seal to heal her injuries, as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Song Chuan was fleeing for his life. A sword aura was relentlessly pursuing him.

This sword energy was extremely sharp, and after chasing for so long, it remained condensed and did not dissipate. If it were pierced, one would probably perish on the spot.

Fortunately, this is within an earth-elemental spiritual vein, which amplifies the speed at which clouds are formed from earth.

He fled for a short while longer, secretly attaching his divine sense to the Qianhuang Pearl, and discovered that Dai Lingjun had not followed.

He exhaled lightly, stopped, and waved his hand to summon the shark silk net, which covered the area with a layer of water vapor.

However, he suspected that this sword energy was extraordinary and might be able to break through a top-tier defensive magic weapon. So he made a hand seal and pointed, causing the surrounding soil and rocks to condense and form a thick earthen wall!

This is not the earth wall technique from the "Na Tu Jue" (The Earth Wall Technique), but a similar spell combined with the "Tu Yu Zhong Yuan Gong" (Earth Prison Seed Technique)!

Still not satisfied, he patted his body, and pieces of stone armor instantly covered his entire body.

Just then, the golden sword energy approached and stabbed into the earthen wall.

"puff!"

The earthen wall was pierced through without any obstruction. The force of the sword energy was slightly reduced, and with another sudden thrust, the moisture in the shark silk net was also pierced through and struck the main body of the magic weapon.

The fine mesh swayed slightly, barely managing to block the sword energy, which then dissipated.

Song Chuan was horrified. If it weren't for the earthen wall, the mermaid net might have been torn apart!

How could this sword energy be so powerful?

No matter how powerful the flying sword technique is, Dai Lingjun, even in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, could never achieve this level!

Without a second thought, he put away his magical artifact and fled at lightning speed.

Dai Lingjun, within the spiritual vein, raised an eyebrow slightly: "Hmm? You've got some skill. Never mind, repairing my spiritual body is more important."

Song Chuan returned to the treehouse with a pounding heart. He paced around twice before his expression calmed down. Then he pushed open the door and left the treehouse.

Arriving at Cui Wang's residence, he called out several times, but no one answered, so he left a communication talisman. He then went to Zhuo Juntao's residence, but there was no one there either.

He gritted his teeth in anger. Why were these two running around instead of staying in the treehouse to cultivate?

He had no choice but to return to his treehouse, sit cross-legged, and frown in deep thought.

Dai Lingjun must have a secret, but I don't know what's going on with her.

He suddenly felt a little scared. Fortunately, Cui Wang and the other two were not around. If he had rashly inquired and Dai Lingjun found out, wouldn't he have been exposed?

He saw many things he shouldn't have seen, even more thoroughly than when he was treating Chi Ying Shu!

I can't recall those scenes, otherwise I'll seem too sleazy.

I don't know if Dai Lingjun has recognized me. If we meet again, I must not show any abnormality.

An hour later, Song Chuan glanced outside, pointed, and the door opened.

"Junior Brother Song, what is it?" Cui Wang walked into the room and sat down without waiting for Song Chuan to greet him.

"Hey, I'm sorry to trouble you to come all this way, Senior Brother Cui. I wanted to ask how the sect's mission is going," Song Chuan said with a smile.

"Bai Sanzhu and Bai Sanye have already taken care of things. I just went out to finalize the transaction with them. Zhuo Juntao has already bought the items needed at the market. We'll see about the rest at the auction."

Cui Wang looked at Song Chuan with slight dissatisfaction and said, "I originally wanted the three of you to go together, but who would have thought that neither you nor Junior Sister Dai would be here."

"Hehe! I've been practicing my skills in my room all day, and I unexpectedly gained some insights. I feel that this territory of the Wood Guest is safe, so I simply sealed off my five senses."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you two senior brothers."

Song Chuan emphasized that he practiced his skills in the room, and said with a hint of apology on his face.

"Forget it, it's just running errands. Zhuo Juntao is happy to spend all his time in the market." Cui Wang looked up at the roof beam and said.

"I wonder if Senior Brother Cui has some free time? Would you like to show me around the Wood Guest territory?" Song Chuan asked.

Cui Wang glanced at him: "I'm going somewhere anyway, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Song Chuan was overjoyed.
