C164 Camphor Artemisinin

"Who?"

Walking in the forest, Qin Shi looked vigilant.

"Don't worry, little friend. If you keep walking, you will see this old man." In the lush forest, the sounds of giggling could be heard once again.

Because of the matter of Qin Xuexin, Qin Shi was not in the mood to joke around, nor was he as unruly and unruly as he was in the past. He had long since collected his wickedness and descended into the most silent phase of his life.

Therefore, he was not the least bit interested in the teasing voice he heard. Instead, he solemnly took out the Bloodthirsty Sword and snorted to himself, "Deceiving this young master. I want to see what kind of person he is!"

When he thought of this, Qin Shi pulled his leg up and walked straight forward with his head held high. His footsteps emitted a rustling sound as they stepped into the leaves.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked around and saw all the flowers, plants, and trees around him. He rotated the spiritual power in his body and felt the fluctuations around him along the ground beneath his feet.

However, after walking forward for five hundred meters, he did not discover anything. In front of him were only a few towering ancient trees and nothing else. Where was the figure of a person?

This made Qin Shi's scalp tingle. He cleared his throat, "No one?" "Could it be that after being with Qin Xuexin for so long, I'm starting to get suspicious and hallucinate?"

A gust of wind blew past.

"Little friend, you are not hallucinating. This old man is right in front of you!" But just as Qin Shi was puzzled, the old voice sounded again, exceptionally clear.

"In front of me?"

Suddenly, Qin Shi raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. To his left, there was an ancient tree nearly a hundred meters tall.

The ancient tree waved its branches, as if it was greeting him. It gave him a shock and retreated a few steps, "Sh * t, is that you? Is it a demon? "

"Monster Head, you're a monster. Have you ever seen a monster as handsome as me?" As the branches danced in the air, the ancient tree looked displeased. On the thick tree trunk, a ring of years slowly opened up and said in a weak voice, "Make a fuss. This old man is the thousand year old Camphor Spirit.

"Camphor Tree Spirit?"

Qin Shi scratched his head and awkwardly muttered, "I've seen many handsome trees, but this is the first time I've seen someone who can speak like this."

"You're the one who's incomparably ugly. You really don't know how to respect the elderly and cherish the young." The ancient tree was infuriated by Qin Shi. The thick tree trunk swayed unevenly. Then, the tree branches danced nonstop. It was like a whip with five claws and long teeth, as it stretched towards Qin Shi.

Shock!

Seeing the vines nearing, Qin Shi immediately retreated, "Old man, what are you trying to do?"

Who would have thought that Qin Shi would take only two steps back and trap him with a tenacious branch.

After being trapped by the tree branches, Qin Shi hastily struggled, but who would have thought that no matter how much he struggled, he was still unable to break free. I didn't expect this old demon to have this kind of strength. "

After trapping Qin Shi, the camphor wood spirit did not move. Instead, it summoned two weak waves of spirit energy to brush against Qin Shi's skin. It let out a surprised cry. "As expected, young friend, you have this kind of terrifying spirit energy at such a young age?"

"Mental Energy?"

Qin Shi didn't say anything. His mental strength had indeed improved by leaps and bounds when he came out of Heartless Cliff.

The question was, how did this camphor spirit know?

"Old demon, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't intentionally make it look mysterious here. This young master doesn't have the time to play with you." After being bound by vines, Qin Shi said with a serious expression.

The essence of the camphor tree was startled, and took back the branch that was tied up with Qin Shi, saying, "Truly a stubborn little fellow." Don't worry, didn't this old one say just now that I wanted to help you calculate something? "

"A divination?"

Blinking his eyes, Qin Shi felt a little pained. "Damn, what world is this? Even a camphor tree can become a cultivation essence? What the hell was Richie? He actually knew how to calculate? Do you think that you are a wise man? "

"A wise man with many talents cannot be said to be that great. But the 'All Knowing Scholars' are able to do it with ease." Who would have thought that this camphor tree spirit would actually speak arrogantly without any sense of shame.

"Don't, you do the calculation for someone else. I don't believe these things that Wu Xuzi has." Qin Shi broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head, "If you want to talk to me, that's it. I won't waste any more time here."

I have lived for over a thousand years, and I have been alive for a thousand years, so I have been informed of the geography of this place. People who want to find me and predict the future can always queue up to the stars, but you don't need them? "

Qin Shi shrugged and turned around to leave. "Fate has always been a matter of the gods, but how is that possible? Even divining the future, this sort of unreliable thing, would only fool a child!"

"…"

"Don't go. Don't you want to find a medicinal herb that can heal the soul?"

Just as he took a step forward, Qin Shi was shocked, "How did you know?"

"I've already told you, this old man is the 'All Knowing Scholar'." The camphor wood spirit laughed and changed the topic, "As long as you are willing to help me, I will help you find a third grade Spirited Lotus! "How about it?"

"The Spirits of the Lilies?"

Qin Shi hesitated for a moment. This was quite tempting for him, "Last time at the Lihuo Sect, a stalk of the flower that healed the spirit and helped Sister Yu survive for a full two months. It might be able to help her recover this time."

"What do you need my help with?"

Once he made up his mind, Qin Shi was ready to act.

At this moment, the rough trunk of the camphor tree began to shake violently. The rotten roots of the tree were rolling up on the ground. It seemed to be in some pain. "Little friend, look."

"Hmm?"

Looking at the rotting root, the root was seriously corroded. "What is going on here?"

"It's like this. I am originally the overlord of this area, but not long ago, something happened, and I suddenly felt a surge of strength fighting with me over the nutrients and moisture on the ground. If this goes on, I'm afraid I will die of desiccation."

"You want me to help you find the reason?"

"Yes, I hope you can help me …" The camphor tree spirit said bluntly.

Qin Shi didn't directly agree, and instead said with a playful smile, "Aren't you known as the 'All Knowing Scholar'? Isn't it sufficient for you to do such a thing, do you even need me? "

Camphor Tree Spirit's eyes flashed with a struggle. He awkwardly said, "My friend, you don't know anything about it. Although I, Bai Xiaosheng, am well versed in astronomy, I know nothing about myself."

Hearing this, Qin Shi hesitated.

His eyes roamed around the forest for a while as he thought, "Anyways, I don't know where we are right now. Besides, I need to find some herbs that can cure my soul, so I might as well stay and help the old monster get the flower first."

Thinking of this, Qin Shi nodded his head in agreement, "You must remember your words."

Seeing that Qin Shi had agreed, the camphor wood spirit became excited. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, little friend. As long as you can help me find out the reason, I will hand the flower over to you."

"Wait for my news."

Qin Shi didn't say anything else. He signaled the camphor tree spirit to take out his roots and began to search along the camphor tree spirit's roots, passing through the forest along the path.

It had to be said that this camphor tree essence was indeed a thousand year old tree essence. When the roots penetrated through the ground, they were like a huge spider web that densely covered more than half of the forest.

Qin Shi walked along the rotting roots, heading straight for the source.

An hour later, Qin Shi suddenly stopped. He discovered that all of the roots were pointing towards a dark underground cave.

This cave was very secretive, and its surroundings were filled with bushes and vines wrapped around the entrance.

If it weren't for the camphor tree root, Kenyon wouldn't have been able to find the crypt.

"Hmph. You're quite secretive. I would quite like to see what kind of monster they are." Gazing into the crypt, Qin Shi was certain that the reason for the tree root erosion must be in this crypt.

As soon as he made up his mind, Qin Shi held his head high and walked deeper into the cave.

In this cave, the light was very dim. Moreover, it was extremely humid. The ground was filled with green moss and viscous liquid.

Just as he entered the cave, Qin Shi raised his eyes, brushing past waves of everlasting spirit energy.

Qin Shi pulled out the Bloodthirsty Sword while on guard. A wave of blood qi filled the cave, "It should be here."

Following the hole, about three hundred meters into the cave, the space in front of them opened up.

In this place, there was a space that was over a hundred meters squared. Around this space, there were firm rocks. The rocks were covered with the roots of the Camphor Spirit, and there was a candle flame every thirty meters.

The candlelight illuminated the dark cave.

"Why is it like this again?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Shi couldn't help but think of the cave at the bottom of Heartless Valley. A trace of memories that he was unwilling to recall rushed into his heart, causing his heart to feel slightly heavy.

At this time, he tried his best to maintain his calm. He stroked his gaze along the vines on the cliff face, only to see that all of the vines had sunk into the rocks.

Along the crevice, waves of malevolent, cold wind came out of its small mouth. The cold wind was mixed with a faint amount of spirit energy, causing Qin Shi to be on guard.

"Help!"

At this time, sounds of a woman's cry for help came from the crack.

Hearing that, Qin Shi was stunned, "Someone's here?"

With a shocked expression, Qin Shi took a step forward and cut off the vines outside the fissure with the Bloodthirsty Sword. Then, he charged towards the fissure.

After rushing into the rift, he saw a gigantic Mountain Crawling Tiger, occupying a space of over a hundred meters in front of him.

In the center of the mountain reptile, there was a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, tied to a vine in the middle of a mistake.

When the girl saw Qin Shi, she instantly became excited. "Big brother, quickly save me! I don't want to die!"

"Stay put!" Qin Shi's eyes narrowed. He raised the Bloodthirsty Sword and waved it through the vines toward the nine sword auras.

The dazzling sword light hacked down on the rattan.

Bang!

Who would have thought that these vines were so tenacious that under the Bloodthirsty Sword's attack, they did not cause any damage. Instead, they furiously danced a few times before striking out towards Qin Shi.

Upon seeing this, Qin Shi was shocked, "Middle stage Spirit Destruction realm?"

Without waiting for Qin Shi to recover his wits, the huge Crawling Tiger was enraged by the sword light. Vines with sharp thorns danced through the cracks like whips, slowly approaching Qin Shi's stall.
