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

Inside the cave, Song Chuan pressed down on Nüba's burning calf and pulled the last dry bone nail from her ankle.

He glanced at the string of fiery red bells on the woman's ankle. He had accidentally touched them earlier and was shocked to find that they might be top-tier magic artifacts!

If Song Chuan harbored any ill intentions towards this Nüba, the bell would probably kill him on the spot.

The woman's toenails had grown quite long and were bright red. Song Chuan only glanced at them briefly and didn't examine them closely.

He put away the black horn hammer and examined the nine dry bone nails.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist." A soft and weak voice rang out.

Song Chuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Nüba.

"I thought you couldn't speak properly, fellow Daoist." There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. It was the Cleansing Dew on the Dry Bone Nail that made it impossible for me to speak. I had already used up my last bit of strength at that time," Nuba explained.

"Uh... I see! Cough cough." Song Chuan smiled awkwardly, seemingly having misunderstood her.

He looked at the Nüba, who had bared her fangs and had a crimson complexion, yet also appeared pitiful, and felt a strange sensation in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist, are you a disciple of Vine Flower Valley? I wonder if you have any Flame-Extinguishing Spirit Water? Could you please feed me a few drops?"

"I asked, my face flushed with shyness."

"I still have a few drops left. Will this be useful to you?" Song Chuan took out the Flame Extinguishing Spirit Water.

"It can alleviate the crimson aura emanating from my body right now. Then, I also need you, fellow Daoist..." She said, but seemed somewhat hesitant to speak.

Song Chuan walked up to her and saw that she couldn't move at all, so he had to put one hand around the back of her neck, lift her head, and feed her the Flame-Suppressing Spirit Water with the other hand.

Sweat dripped from his body onto the woman, creating a bizarre yet alluring scene.

The woman drank the entire bottle of the Flame-extinguishing Elixir.

"Well, thankfully we won't need this later," Song Chuan sighed.

"Just tell me what you need me to do."

"My magical power is disordered and my spiritual energy is leaking out, making it impossible to seal some acupoints."

Fellow Daoist, you must have figured out the location of my acupoints. Could you please help me seal a few more key areas so that the Crimson Calamity Qi cannot spread?

"Fellow Daoist, are you feeling a little better? I can also use my internal energy to heal my injuries now."

Nuba whispered, her voice becoming barely audible towards the end.

Which locations?

"The points on your human race's chest, acupoints, vertebrae, and bubbling spring."

"This... alright." Song Chuan's expression changed, and his tone suddenly became awkward.

This time was different from before; after exchanging a few words, the two became somewhat acquainted.

Song Chuan felt a little embarrassed to go and block off these more private locations.

But if he doesn't control this damned evil energy, he'll really die of dehydration.

He quickly reached out, held his breath, and focused his mind, clearing his mind of all distractions, and began to seal off those areas of the woman's body.

Throughout the entire process, Nüba kept her eyes tightly closed, her crimson face seemed to turn even redder, and her whole body was tense, trembling uncontrollably.

A moment later, Song Chuan withdrew his movement. The woman's breath hitched, and the burning sensation noticeably subsided.

Nuwa glanced at Song Chuan, silently sat up, and took out another porcelain bottle from her storage bag. The bottle contained a kind of spiritual water, which was the same red color as her skin.

After taking a few drops, she sat cross-legged in meditation.

Song Chuan didn't want to be in the same room with her, so he wiped his sweat and went outside.

Orchid worms crawled up and down his fingers. He would sometimes stare blankly, and sometimes seem to have thought of something, chuckling softly.

After half a day, Song Chuan put away the orchid worm and the earthworm and returned to the cave.

The demon had changed her clothes, her fangs were gone, and her hair, eyes, and skin were no longer crimson.

She still had the same fair skin and beautiful face that Song Chuan had seen when he first met her, and the aura of the Crimson Calamity had completely disappeared.

"You naturally know my identity as the female demon. My name is Chi Ying Shu. May I ask how you should address me?"

Chi Ying Shu stared intently at Song Chuan with unblinking eyes.

"Tenghua Valley, Songchuan."

Unable to bear that look, he turned his head away.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Song. Actually, my elders are guests in your sect. I came to the Kongsang Mountains out of curiosity and to gain some experience."

"I see!" Song Chuan nodded.

He had suspected this for a while, but he didn't expect that the Vine Flower Valley and the Nüba Clan seemed to have a close relationship.

The number of spots for exploring Kongsang is already insufficient even for Teng Hua Valley itself.

Of the six major sects in Qi, the Vine Flower Valley has the most low-ranking disciples.

Unfortunately, the skill of cultivating spiritual plants is the most common among all the arts of cultivation.

Only when it reaches the second level does it become slightly rare.

"Fellow Daoist, you came alone. Are your clan elders at ease?" Song Chuan asked.

Nuwa blushed slightly and said with a wry smile, "Actually, there was no danger at all, but I didn't expect to be plotted against by the scheming Rain Master."

Sure enough, besides her innate supernatural abilities, this woman must have some considerable hidden strengths.

Otherwise, how could one say that this exotic adventure in Kongsang is without any danger? Hey, it's a pity that one shouldn't be too confident!

"Why didn't you activate your supernatural powers sooner, fellow Daoist?"

"Well... Nüba's supernatural powers cannot be used casually, as they cause great harm to the earth's veins and living beings in the area. Please forgive me for not being able to go into details."

"Fellow Daoist is a kind-hearted person," Song Chuan said with a smile.

Chi Ying Shu glanced cautiously at Song Chuan: "Fellow Daoist Song, I have a favor to ask. Could you please give me those nine Dry Bone Nails?"

"Oh? What's so special about this dry bone nail? I looked at it for a long time but didn't find anything unusual about it," Song Chuan asked, puzzled.

"This item is specifically for the Rain Master to deal with drought demons; it's useless against humans. The Cleansing Dew on it is a rare item that can break my defensive spells. However, it was also because I was careless. If I had been prepared, the Cleansing Dew wouldn't have been able to harm me."

I want to take the Dry Bone Nail back as evidence so that my elders can seek justice from Cang Yuanzong.

"Then I'll give it to you, fellow Daoist." After thinking for a moment, Song Chuan handed the Dry Bone Nail to the woman.

She happily accepted it, her beautiful eyes blinking slightly, and said gratefully:

"Fellow Daoist Song not only rescued me, but also harbored no ill intentions; I have witnessed it all. Is there anything Fellow Daoist Song can do to help me?"

Hey! We've finally gotten to this, Song Chuan thought to himself with a secret delight.

"Ahem! To be honest, Fellow Daoist Chi, I am currently searching for a third-tier Earth Fire Spear for our sect's elders, but this item is extremely difficult to find. Do you have any methods, Fellow Daoist Chi?"

Song Chuan revealed his true intentions at the end of the story, looking at the woman and saying...

Chi Ying Shu frowned slightly: "I do have a way to find a third-tier Earth Fire Spear. But do you only need my help to find it, fellow Daoist?"

Hmm! Song Chuan was somewhat surprised. Did this woman think that one third-tier spiritual plant was not enough and wanted to give him more benefits?

"I have no other requests. It would be best if you could help me find a third-tier Earthfire Spear, but it doesn't matter if you can't."

"What else is Fellow Daoist Song looking for? Could you tell me?" Chi Ying Shu suddenly asked.

"Then I'm afraid I can't tell you," Song Chuan said with a slight smile.

"Then let's go find the Earthfire Spear," said Red Poppy, her eyes darting around.

"Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist."

After saying that, the two left the cave.
