Chapter 497 Sister Luoge, the Spirit Gathering Grass here seems to be thirstier!
The next morning.
Wuji Sect.
Drunken Evening Forest.
Si Yao was still dressed in a snow-white disciple's robe, her face covered by a light veil, revealing only a pair of clear and calm eyes.
She walked at the very front of the group, her steps light and graceful, as if untouched by any dust.
The hundred or so disciples behind him all had solemn expressions, carefully holding the jade basin containing the seedlings of the Soul-Nourishing Grass, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
As you walk along the winding cobblestone path, the fragrance of Zuiwan Forest, a blend of ancient wood and damp earth, wafts towards you.
Before even stepping into the clearing in the woods, one could hear the sound of rushing water and the clear laughter of a boy.
"hey-hey!"
"Sister Luoge, the spirit-gathering herbs here seem to be thirstier!"
"Alright, Jinxi, control your strength. Moon Dew is good, but remember not to overdo it. The key is to nourish things subtly and quietly."
Si Yao looked up!
In the clearing in the woods, Luo Ge stood with his hands behind his back.
A long, snow-white dress swayed gently in the morning breeze, and her hair was styled in a high bun.
At this moment!
She was carefully observing the growth of the surrounding spiritual herbs, occasionally offering pointers.
Beside her, Jin Xi was carrying two heavy jade pots, moving back and forth.
His long, golden hair was tied up high with a snow-white hairband, fluttering behind his head with every movement.
When he turned his head, his crimson eyes shone brightly in the light and shadow of the forest, like two rubies.
"Senior Sister Si Yao, it's Senior Sister Luo Ge and Jin Xi!"
"Great! With their help, we'll definitely be able to complete today's task easily."
Upon seeing this, the disciples behind him relaxed their tense nerves and whispered among themselves.
Si Yao nodded slightly and led the group over.
"Si Yao, you've come at the perfect time!"
Luo Ge spotted Si Yao in the crowd at a glance.
She smiled slightly:
"The sect leader praised you for doing a good job yesterday, so he sent me and Jinxi to assist you today."
"I've already had Jinxi water these Spirit Gathering Grasses with Moon Dew, and their spiritual energy field is very stable."
Jin Xi also stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Si Yao.
He called out loudly:
"Hello, Senior Sister Si Yao."
Si Yao nodded slightly in response.
Then, his gaze swept over the spirit-gathering herbs that had been nourished by the moon dew.
The grass blades stretched out, and the veins of each leaf seemed to glow, indeed organizing the surrounding spiritual energy in an orderly manner.
She expressed her gratitude to Luo Ge:
"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister Luo Ge."
"Si Yao is extremely grateful!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ge smiled and waved her hand.
"Why are you being so polite with me? I dare not disobey the sect leader's orders."
"Besides, I'm your senior, so it's only right that I help you."
Upon hearing this, Si Yao smiled but did not reply. Instead, she gently lifted the lid of the jade basin in her hand.
In the pot, a newly sprouted Soul-Nourishing Grass swayed gently in the morning light, emitting a soothing fragrance.
Just then, a joyful roar came from deep within the forest.
Roar!Roar!Roar!
Woo!
Whoosh!
Next!
A huge, jet-black figure shot out like lightning, accompanied by a gust of wind, and rushed straight towards Jin Xi, who was arranging the jade pot.
"Lingyao!"
Caught off guard, Jin Xi was knocked off balance by the tremendous force!
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the huge creature by the neck.
It was a magical beast covered in black scales.
His red eyes were full of joy!
At this moment!
Lingyao was affectionately rubbing its big head against Jinxi's chest, making satisfied gurgling sounds in its throat.
"Lingyao, you're so naughty!"
Although Jin Xi was in pain from the impact, his face was full of smiles. He stretched out his fist and gently punched Ling Yao's forehead.
"Can you smell the Moon Dew on me? Want some? No way, it's meant to nourish my spirit herbs!"
Lingyao seemed to understand his words and let out a low, aggrieved groan.
Woo!
With a twist of its massive body, it nestled its head into Jinxi's arms as if acting coquettishly, while its tail excitedly slapped the ground, stirring up a flurry of fallen leaves.
"hehe!"
"It seems Lingyao really likes you."
Luo Ge watched from the sidelines, thoroughly amused.
"I never expected this magical beast to be so affectionate with you."
Jin Xi touched Ling Yao's chin, her eyes full of smugness:
"That's natural. When I came yesterday, I secretly gave it some moon dew, and it probably tasted the sweetness."
Si Yao watched the scene of the human and the beast playing quietly and smiled knowingly.
She knew that spirit beasts had the sharpest intuition.
The fact that Lingyao is so close to Jinxi shows that the young man is pure of heart and has no ulterior motives.
"Alright, Lingyao, stop fooling around."
Si Yao spoke softly, her voice clear and melodious.
Lingyao's ears twitched, and he immediately stopped playing. He lifted his head from Jinxi's arms, his crimson pupils turning to Siyao, a hint of curiosity and awe flashing in his eyes.
It cautiously walked up to Si Yao, lowered its huge head, as if waiting for her command.
Si Yao reached out and gently touched the softest fur on Ling Yao's nose with her fingertips.
A warm and pure life force flowed through my fingertips.
"Today we are going to plant new Soul-Nourishing Grass here, and we need your help to guard this area and prevent other wild beasts from approaching, is that alright?"
Si Yao said softly.
Upon hearing this, Lingyao's eyes lit up, and he nodded in a human-like manner.
Then, with graceful steps, she walked to the highest point of the forest clearing and lay down.
Its crimson eyes scanned its surroundings warily, instantly entering a defensive state.
"This... Lingyao actually listens to you so much?"
Jin Xi was dumbfounded.
This……
With just a few words, Si Yao made this proud spirit beast willingly obey her commands.
"Because Junior Sister Si Yao has an aura that makes spirit beasts feel at ease."
Luo Ge explained from the side, her gaze towards Si Yao now carrying a deeper meaning.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Si Yao, what do you think of this place? Jin Xi and I have already cleared it out."
Luo Ge pointed to a piece of land in the center of the forest clearing that had been cleaned up.
The area is surrounded by ancient trees, their shade providing ample cover. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the branches and leaves, creating golden dappled patterns.
The soil was turned over and softened, mixed with special spiritual soil, and exuded a rich fragrance.
Si Yao walked to the edge of that piece of land, squatted down, and gently picked up a handful of soil with her slender fingers.
The delicate spiritual soil slipped through her fingers, carrying the unique coolness and moisture of the Drunken Evening Forest.
"very good."
Si Yao said softly.
"The earth's spiritual energy and the essence of the moonlight here are perfectly integrated, making it the ideal breeding ground for the Soul Nourishing Grass."
She stood up, turned to her disciples, and gave them an order:
"Put the jade basin down and arrange it according to the orientation of the 'Seven Stars Gathering Spirit Array'."
"Jin Xi, Senior Sister Luo Ge, I need your assistance today to perform the 'Soul-Guiding to Earth' ritual."
"Order!"
Jin Xi perked up, immediately put down the jade pot in her hand, and ran over to help.
Luo Ge then walked to Si Yao's side and handed her a small jade bottle:
"This contains the sect leader's specially made 'Mind-Concentrating Liquid,' which can help you guide your soul power."
Si Yao accepted the jade bottle and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Then, a meticulous and solemn planting ceremony began.
Si Yao stood in the center of the formation. She did not make a move immediately, but closed her eyes and began to regulate her breathing.
The light veil rose and fell slightly with her breath, and a calm yet powerful soul force gradually emanated from her body.
Seeing this, her disciples followed suit, focusing their minds into the jade basin to establish a connection with the tiny Soul-Nourishing Grass seedling.
"Golden Dawn, starting from the east, irrigate with moonlight dew to draw upon the earth's spiritual energy."
"okay!"
Jin Xi responded, picked up the jade pot that had been prepared beforehand, and circulated her spiritual energy to precisely control the spout.
Thin silver threads shot out from the pot, landing precisely on the soil around each seedling.
As the moon dew seeped in, the once peaceful land began to glow with a faint light, as if the dormant earth veins had been awakened.
"Senior Sister Luoge, use your sword energy to gently caress the grass and awaken its vitality."
"understand!"
