Chapter 25 My things, here they come!
Linghu Xuan was shocked and hurriedly reached out to catch it, almost hitting him on the head.
"Junior brother, these fruits are very sweet, try some." Tao Tao grinned, took out a fruit, rubbed it on his body, and took a bite, instantly splashing juice all over his face.
The fruit did look fresh, juicy, and delicious, but Linghu Xuan had no appetite for it. He shamelessly held up the fruit and asked, "Where's the Heavenly Lingzhi? It's not on it?"
"You mean this?"
After Tao Tao ate the fruit in two bites, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, took out a glowing Ganoderma lucidum from his pocket, and waved it at him.
Upon seeing the Heavenly Lingzhi, Linghu Xuan immediately became excited and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's it! Come down quickly, it's not safe here, let's leave immediately."
"But there are still many fruits on it."
"What's the use of fruit? Completing the mission is the key."
At this point, he was still thinking about the fruit. Linghu Xuan was speechless and kept urging Tao Tao to hurry up.
"Alright." Although Tao Tao was thinking about the fruit, she knew that the mission was the most important thing. So she clapped her hands and jumped down, which startled Linghu Xuan so much that he quickly dropped the fruit and reached out to catch her. However, she kicked off the tree trunk, spun in the air, and landed steadily on the ground.
Well, we don't need him at all.
Linghu Xuan awkwardly touched his nose.
Tao Tao ran over with three Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms in his hands, presented them to him, and said, "One for each of us."
"But didn't you take three?" Linghu Xuan asked, puzzled. Was this little girl planning to keep one for herself and exchange it for other medicinal herbs for her missions?
"And there's also Senior Brother Song."
Although Song Chaofeng didn't end up with her, Tao Tao naturally kept him in her heart. Since she had obtained the Heavenly Lingzhi, she would definitely leave one for him.
"Who is Senior Brother Song? Are there still Heavenly Lingzhi mushrooms up there?" Since it was someone else who picked them, Linghu Xuan couldn't say anything. He could only look up and wonder if Tao Tao hadn't finished picking them.
Tao Tao spread out his little hands, "That's all, just these three."
"Okay, let's go to the next place."
Now that Linghu Xuan was gone, they stopped thinking about him and reached out to take the Heavenly Lingzhi from Tao Tao. But the moment their hands touched the lingzhi, a purple light flashed, as fast as lightning. The two of them quickly dodged, but the Heavenly Lingzhi in Tao Tao's hand vanished in an instant.
"who?"
Linghu Xuan shouted sternly, then summoned a Qinglan Mirror. Looking around, he saw Du Yin slowly walking towards him, carrying a purple whip in one hand, a contemptuous smile on his lips. "We meet again."
Her gaze fell on Tao Tao, her eyes filled with disgust. She remembered the incident clearly; she had to avenge that slap.
"So you're a junior sister from the Hidden Moon Sect. Although the Trial of the Shaling Abyss depends on one's own abilities, you are all senior and junior brothers and sisters from the Seven Sects Alliance. It's not very proper for you to snatch other people's things like this."
Upon noticing that Du Yin was dressed in the attire of a disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect, Linghu Xuan frowned, his tone somewhat displeased.
It is common for sects to fight each other, but the Hidden Moon Sect has always acted openly and honestly. This is the first time I have heard of a disciple lurking in the shadows to steal medicinal herbs.
"This has nothing to do with your Wuji Zhai. I advise you not to cause trouble and get out of here." Du Yinyin's attitude was extremely hostile. She was convinced that her strength was above the two of them and was naturally not afraid at all. Besides, she was not alone. She had her fellow disciples with her. Tao Tao and Linghu Xuan were no match for her.
Linghu Xuan was not one to cause trouble, but he immediately became angry upon hearing Du Yin's words. "Junior sister, you have quite the big mouth. What if I refuse to listen?"
"That's courting death. Now that you've entered the Abyss of Spirits, your life and death are no longer in your own hands."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Yin glanced at his senior brother beside him. The senior brother understood and nodded, then attacked Linghu Xuan. Seeing this, Tao Tao was about to make a move, but Du Yin stopped him with a whip.
"Your opponent is me, and today is your death day!"
Du Yin had no intention of letting Tao Tao go. After all, she was the daughter of an elder of the Hidden Moon Sect, and she was treated well wherever she went. But Tao Tao dared to attack her, so she had to make the other party pay the price.
She lashed out at Tao Tao with her long whip, each strike powerful and giving Tao Tao no chance to breathe.
Fortunately, Tao Tao moved extremely fast, and the long whip alone was no match for her.
"You think that's all?" Du Yin sneered, and the purple whip in his hand suddenly turned into two pythons, opening their blood-red mouths to bite at Tao Tao. At the same time, purple venom was sprayed from their mouths, and the venom that splashed onto the ground could instantly melt the grass and trees.
Upon seeing this, Linghu Xuan's expression changed drastically. What a vicious trick! This was clearly an attempt to kill someone.
He was worried that Tao Tao was no match for him and wanted to go help, but Du Yin's senior brother kept blocking him and didn't give him any chance to get close.
Tao Tao knew that simply dodging was useless, so he simply summoned the Jadeite Twin Rings. The twin rings flew over and spun continuously in the air before suddenly striking one of the pythons on the head. With a crisp "bang," the python was somewhat dazed, but the other one silently appeared behind Tao Tao and opened its blood-red maw.
"Watch out, Junior Sister Yue!"
As Linghu Xuan made his move, he didn't forget to remind her, but Tao Tao had already noticed and suddenly turned around, unleashing a shard of ice that had already solidified.
This ice shard contained extremely strong spiritual power and was incredibly fast. In just a moment, it pierced through the python's head, and the python instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared. As for the other python, sensing that its companion had disappeared, it turned around and charged back.
Unfortunately, Tao Tao was already prepared. When the python's eyes turned red with rage and it lost its mind, the Emerald Rings quickly enlarged and simultaneously encircled its head and tail. Then, Tao Tao clenched its fist tightly, and the rings snapped shut. The python let out a mournful cry and was severed into three pieces before disappearing.
Unexpectedly, she was so powerful. Linghu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and stopped worrying about her situation, focusing all his attention on dealing with this senior brother from the Hidden Moon Sect.
"You, it's impossible!" Du Yin glared at Tao Tao, unable to believe that Tao Tao could so easily break her double snake formation. The long whip in her hand lost its power again, making her so angry that her teeth itched.
Tao Tao didn't bother with formalities. After dealing with the two pythons, the double rings returned to her hands. She calmly looked at Du Yin with a condescending air. Her tone was icy, and the childishness on her face had vanished. "My things, here you go!"
Although it consists of only two characters, the overall effect is clearly different.
What she hated most was having things taken from her, and Du Yin had crossed her bottom line.
"Want it?" Du Yin not only didn't sense any danger, but instead grabbed the Heavenly Spirit Mushroom and shook it with a smile. "That depends on whether you have the ability to take it."
