Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 342 Repairing the Thunder Spiritual Root

At noon when the sun is at its hottest,

About a quarter of an hour later, a figure sneaked into the room. Just as he was about to attack him, a white light flashed.

She was so frightened that she screamed and fell to the ground. Others heard the noise and rushed into the room.

Su Mei realized something was wrong and wanted to get up and run away, but her feet were restrained by a formation and she couldn't move.

The door was opened and Su Yang and others walked into the house. They found that she was holding a magic weapon, the Soul Dream Bell.

A lot of medicinal powder was scattered on the side. It was made by grinding Yinxia grass into powder. If inhaled, it would gradually damage the meridians of the body.

"Su Mei! How dare you poison your second brother!"

Princess Jiang Nian pointed at her with trembling hands, her chest heaving violently with anger.

Su Mei kept shaking her head to explain that this was not the case, but the evidence was irrefutable and no matter how she explained, it was useless.

"Mother, please listen to me, I didn't."

But Su Wangyou was already covered in a lot of powder, and he woke up when he noticed the movement.

Gu Qingtang secretly told him to check under his bed, by the window, and under the table, where there was a lot of pale white powder.

"Second brother, you, you should quickly explain to father and the others that I, I did not poison you."

She knelt and cried for her second brother, but he pushed her away. Su Yang was so angry that he turned around and thought that he had wronged his second son for so many years.

"Father, I, I didn't mean it."

She stood up and sobbed. A loud slap landed on her face. At that moment, her pride disappeared instantly.

"Someone, lock the princess up in her room and let her reflect on her mistakes. Don't let her come out without my order!"

She trembled and begged her father not to lock her up, but no matter how much she cried and shouted, it was useless.

It was indeed because he had spoiled his daughter on a daily basis that she became so unruly and willful that she even harmed her own brother.

But suddenly, the spiritual root in Su Wangyou's body began to become unstable and lightning flashed frequently, directly shattering many things in the house. Su Yang and others standing nearby were hit and retreated one after another.

Gu Qingtang noticed the movement and rushed to his room. He never expected that his lightning root would go out of control so quickly.

Under everyone's gaze, she was able to approach Su Wangyou without any harm, and soon brought him to a mountain forest called Qianwu.

This forest grows a kind of spiritual grass called Huanyuan grass, which can be used to repair broken or damaged spiritual roots, but this place is also guarded by many spiritual beasts.

The purpose is to prevent people from picking the divine grass and flowers that are scattered all over this place. This place can also be said to be a fairy mountain forest with a fairy aura.

"Swallowtail, go and pick the Huanyuan grass."

Then he introduced a stream of energy into Su Wangyou's body, temporarily helping him to restrain his disordered lightning spirit roots.

Soon after the swallowtail butterfly left, many spirit beasts began to gather around her, staring at her with ferocious looks in their eyes.

A gorgeous ice tiger with a pair of white wings and golden pupils walked out from among the spirit beasts, exuding a touch of the king's domineering aura.

"How could a human being break in here?"

He spoke in human language and questioned the other spirit beasts around him who had failed in their duties. They began to whisper to each other, communicating in the spirit beasts' own language.

Soon after, the swallowtail butterfly sent a message saying that the Huanyuan grass was guarded by a casual cultivator and could not be picked.

The spirit beasts felt that this woman must be someone extraordinary and did not dare to approach her to fight. The Ice Tiger snorted coldly and said that they were all trash.

"I never allow humans to enter the Qianwu Forest. Please leave immediately."

Gu Qingtang just glanced at it sideways without being moved. He activated his spiritual power and rushed towards the direction of the swallowtail butterfly.

The despised Xuan Binghu was furious and attacked her without saying a word. Countless extremely cold ice spikes fell from the sky.

However, it was shattered by an invisible pressure. All the spirit beasts cried out in shock and took a few steps back. Only the Ice Tiger stood firmly in place with a look of surprise in its eyes.

He looked at Gu Qingtang who was just sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed in deep thought, and felt that the pressure just now was not from her.

He concentrated his mind and checked the surroundings but found no trace of other people. Suddenly, when Xuan Binghu was about to withdraw his consciousness, he noticed a fight happening ten miles ahead.

His companions behind him were knocked to the ground one after another, and many human monks rushed in.

"Why are these spiritual beasts gathering here?" asked one of the monks.

"That's not important. It's rumored that in addition to a lot of spiritual herbs in this forest, there is also a fairy pond. Just taking a sip can improve your cultivation."

"The skins, horns, and scales of these spirit beasts are all rare materials for refining weapons. We can make a fortune this time."

All the spirit beasts started screaming and running around. After they had killed enough spirit beasts, they noticed Gu Qingtang meditating.

They wondered why there was an unconscious man next to them, maybe it was the infatuated girl who came here to find medicine to save him.

She must have a lot of treasures on her body. One person tried to use his spiritual sense to explore it, but it was blank and he could not see anything.

Some people also suggested to just bypass it. The one who came here with a seriously injured person must not be a mediocre person, and they definitely cannot be disturbed by people of their strength.

"What are you afraid of? What if she has some good treasure?"

A man in purple clothes said as he stepped forward, but he was blocked by a barrier. He groaned in pain and touched his head. He immediately got angry and swung his knife to chop at him.

The barrier was not broken, but the man was blown away by the energy several feet away. The others laughed at him and told him not to be so wishful thinking. This man was not a simple man at first glance.

Before they could stop laughing, a fireball suddenly hit them. Several people were blown away by the aftermath. When they looked up, they saw five or six people flying in the air.

"This hasn't broken the defense yet. The little beauty still has some strength." A handsome man in a green robe stood in the air.

"Yes, it's them, Mu Yu, the Young Master of Yundan Hall!"

"Hurry, hurry up, this guy is not to be trifled with."

Several people got up from the ground and left the place in a hurry. Mu Yu raised his hand and the younger brothers behind him used their magical powers to try to break through the defense.

He then spotted the spirit beasts running around, as well as a rare mythical beast, the Ice Tiger, and quickly flew in its direction, intending to force a contract with it.

After a while, the barrier set up by Gu Qingtang still showed no signs of breaking. Suddenly, several people noticed that there was a strong breath coming from the surroundings.

The swallowtail butterfly came here with a Huanyuan grass and was furious when it found its owner was attacked.

Sensing the breath of the swallowtail butterfly, Gu Qingtang opened his eyes and looked around to find a mess on the ground, with many spirit beasts lying down.

"The swallowtail butterfly is back."

She took the Huanyuan grass handed to her by the swallowtail butterfly, removed the barrier, and began to repair his thunder spirit root.

Mu Yu, who was catching the divine beast, saw her coming out and threw away the divine beast and ran towards her.

"My little beauty, go back and be my little wife!"

With a greedy look on his face, he opened his arms and was about to hug Gu Qingtang, but was shocked away by Gu Qingtang's eyes.

Unwilling to give up, he stood up and this time drew his long sword and slashed at her.

"My little beauty has a bad temper, so don't blame me for taking action!"

Gu Qingtang had already released the restraints in Su Wangyou's body. Almost instantly, a violent lightning strike surged in all directions.

Mu Yu, who was only at the Immortal King level, was hit and vomited blood, his skin was about to crack, and his subordinates were no match for the lightning and turned into ashes one after another.

The broken lightning root was faintly visible on his back, and a steady stream of lightning was flowing out from the root.

Su Wangyou's skin had begun to glow with golden light and crack, his eyes were tightly closed with a painful expression, and Mu Huayan took off her disguise and returned to her original appearance.

The powerful aura of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor instantly swept across the entire Qianwu Mountain Forest. She gathered a touch of pure spiritual power with her two fingers and injected it into Su Wangyou's brow. At the same time, she peeled off a green leaf of Huanyuan Grass and sent it into his body.

When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw a blurry figure. Mu Huayan was using her spiritual power to refine the Huanyuan grass floating in the air.

In his current physical condition, he couldn't refine it himself. "Awake."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Huanyuan grass was refined into a green pill, and then she handed it to him, "I promised you that I would repair your damaged spiritual roots."

He hesitated for a moment before taking the pill and putting it into his mouth. Then he entered into a state of concentration and began to use his spiritual power to absorb the medicinal power and repair his spiritual roots.

But just halfway through, the person that Fengdie mentioned earlier was injured by Ci Shen and brought here.

"He is the monk who prevented us from picking Huanyuan grass."

Mu Huayan retracted her body and checked the man, and found that he was just a cultivator at the peak of the ancestor realm and was not enough to pose a threat.
