Chapter 617: Chapter 616: I Have 1 Flying Tree

"A Celestial Star Cave Mansion Guide?" Jiang Zuo was a little surprised.

’This Cave Mansion actually has a guide?’

’He must have been scammed, right?’

"Yes, it was a... a..." Mu Sansheng frowned, struggling to recall. Then he said, "I think a Daoist sold it to me.

This isn’t an ordinary guide. I found the Fallen God Grass because of it."

"Oh?" Jiang Zuo was a bit surprised.

He had been thinking that Fallen God Grass was already rare, and very few people could even recognize it. Even if they could, it would be impossible for them to find it right after entering.

’So that book really isn’t ordinary?’

Jiang Zuo then took the book. It was written in the Ancient Language.

’But the subtitle below... why does it say ’Published by the Eastern Depot Press’?’

Jiang Zuo paused for a moment. ’This really is that guy’s style.’

He had to admit, this Mu Sansheng had some decent luck to have run into that Daoist.

Jiang Zuo hadn’t encountered him recently and had no idea where he was hiding.

Of course, Jiang Zuo hadn’t actively looked for him either, since there was no need.

But Jiang Zuo had to admit one thing: that Daoist had a ton of good stuff, and the fortuitous opportunities he handed out were almost always real.

For Mu Sansheng, this guide was likely his fortuitous opportunity.

Jiang Zuo then tried to open the guide. He wanted to see just how useful it was.

But Mu Sansheng immediately said, "Fellow Daoist, don’t be hasty! The guide can only be used once every two hours, so please don’t waste the chance.

It’s best to think of something important.

Oh, right. To use the guide, you have to close your eyes and think of a specific item. Then you can open it and see its location. Otherwise, it won’t open.

It also won’t open for things that don’t exist in here."

Jiang Zuo ignored him completely and, to Mu Sansheng’s utter disbelief, opened the guide directly.

This made Mu Sansheng even more certain that this person was no ordinary man. They had tried for a long time, and it was completely impossible to open without following the proper procedure.

The two women were also astonished; they had both tried it themselves.

Jiang Zuo paid no mind to their thoughts. When he opened the guide, he saw a map with many markers on it.

Fallen God Grass, Body Shaping Fruit, Celestial God Flower, various Magical Treasures, secret chambers, and even a control center—it was all there.

And based on Jiang Zuo’s experience, the map was real.

Finally, Jiang Zuo’s gaze settled on a small room labeled "Data Room."

Jiang Zuo had never been to this data room.

Indeed, the data room might be hard to find, but it was undoubtedly very ordinary.

Jiang Zuo felt that if there were any records about the origin of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique, that was the most likely place to find them.

If he hadn’t seen the map, Jiang Zuo really wouldn’t have thought to go there.

After closing the guide, Jiang Zuo tossed the Fallen God Grass to Mu Sansheng.

Then he turned and left.

Mu Sansheng immediately called out, "Fellow Daoist, the Divine Soul..."

Without turning back, Jiang Zuo replied, "I don’t need it."

"Then I will definitely help you find..."

Before Mu Sansheng could finish, Jiang Zuo cut him off. "I don’t need anything. We’re even now."

The Fallen God Grass was very valuable, but compared to the information Jiang Zuo sought, it seemed almost insignificant.

With the coin, Jiang Zuo was confident he could find the final answer eventually, but he could sense a faint crisis looming in the air.

Therefore, the sooner he got the answer, the better.

Only after Jiang Zuo had left did Mu Sansheng and the others come to their senses.

They couldn’t understand his thinking at all.

They had obtained the Fallen God Grass just like that?

For such a small price?

It felt a little unreal.

At that moment, one of the twins asked, "Senior Brother, what do we do now?"

Mu Sansheng didn’t hesitate. He said directly, "We’re heading back."

Yes, his objective had been achieved, so there was no need to linger. Nothing else was important, and this wasn’t the time to delay.

’Po Xiao? I’ll remember him.’

Afterward, they began to retrace their steps, searching for an exit.

"Are you there yet?" Chi Xue Child said into his phone.

He was talking to Blade Master Hai Bian, trying to see how far apart their locations were.

The tracker already showed them as being within ten meters of each other, yet he couldn’t see anyone.

"The location is showing up, so I should be there. What are the landmarks on your end?" Blade Master Hai Bian asked.

Chi Xue Child said, "I’m next to a tree."

"..." Blade Master Hai Bian said, "And I’m next to a blade of grass."

"No, I’m serious. It’s a big tree," Chi Xue Child said.

"And I’m here with a little blade of grass," Blade Master Hai Bian replied.

"Wait, no, I think this tree is a little strange. The Spiritual Qi is particularly dense, and also..."

Before Chi Xue Child could finish, Blade Master Hai Bian said, "And also, there are fluctuations in its Cultivation?"

It dawned on Chi Xue Child. "Yes, that’s exactly the feeling."

Then, Blade Master Hai Bian suddenly asked, "Chi Xue Child, we’ve been here for a while. I wonder if you’ve encountered something."

Cold sweat beaded on Chi Xue Child’s forehead. "Ah, I was about to ask if you’ve encountered something too."

Then, they both said in unison, "For example... danger."

After speaking, the two of them turned and ran, hoping to at least reach a safe area.

But the moment they ran, the tree and the grass became unhappy. With a WHOOSH, they uprooted themselves and gave chase.

"The tree is catching up!" "So is the grass!" they both yelled again.

Chi Xue Child saw the large tree behind him. Its leaves and branches had all retracted, leaving only a sharp, pointed trunk. Getting stabbed by that would be fatal.

As for Blade Master Hai Bian’s blade of grass, it had retracted all its extra leaves, leaving only a single, sharp stalk.

Chi Xue Child yelled, "It’s no use! My Cultivation isn’t high enough! I can’t outrun the tree—it can fly!"

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "This grass’s attack power is too strong. I can’t hold out for long either, but I can still run. Where are you?"

"I’m here, I’m here!" Chi Xue Child suddenly shouted, seeing Blade Master Hai Bian flying over.

He was running on the ground; there was no way he could be as fast as someone flying.

Soon, Blade Master Hai Bian reached Chi Xue Child’s side. To pick him up, he had to take a direct hit from the grass.

Fortunately, Blade Master Hai Bian’s body was tough enough that it only hurt.

Then, Blade Master Hai Bian grabbed Chi Xue Child and they fled together.

"That was too dangerous. I can’t believe a single blade of grass could be so deadly. And that tree of yours... it really doesn’t look like a tree," Blade Master Hai Bian said with a wry smile.

Chi Xue Child replied helplessly, "It’s not my tree! But why did they suddenly mutate like that?"

No one knew the answer to that. Perhaps they had encountered someone else.

At that very moment, however, they both froze. It felt as if they were about to be pulled somewhere, but then everything returned to normal.

But in that instant, they knew what it was: the Nightmare Space.

A Demon Cultivator had used their location to teleport over.

Sure enough, a Black-robed Demon Cultivator appeared.

He had been looking pleased, but the moment he saw the tree and the grass, he cried out, "Heavens! There are two more of them here?"

Then, a sharp flower came flying over.

Blade Master Hai Bian: "..."

Chi Xue Child: "..."
