Chapter 245 Mission Completed
The little girl didn't go inside. She glanced at the unfriendly-looking human behind her, then looked at the older human in front of her.
Yun Ci blinked, then looked at the demon realm people peering in this direction from their doorsteps.
I thought to myself: Are all the people in the demon realm this dark-skinned?
Yun Ci suddenly thought of Hei Zi.
At this moment, the little girl ran up to Yun Ci and looked at him shyly.
The uncles and aunts in the village all say she's cute, and the older brother must think so too!
The Golden Core stage senior brother next to Yun Ci immediately grabbed Yun Ci's arm, looking warily at the little girl from the Demon Realm.
They were afraid that she would suddenly change her expression and take out some poison or knife to attack Yun Ci.
There's nothing we can do about it; everyone's already developed a conditioned reflex to it.
When the demon father came out of the house, he saw his daughter run up to the human disciple.
Seeing the looks in the eyes of those human disciples, the Demon Father's eyes also turned cold.
"Xin Xin, come here."
The little girl ran back, took the roasted sweet potato, and scooped a spoonful of it.
After taking one bite, the little girl's eyes widened. She had never eaten anything so delicious before. "Daddy, here you go."
The little girl couldn't bear to eat it.
Dad had a bowl of leaf soup this morning, so he must still be very hungry.
The father's cold gaze softened. "Xin Xin, eat. Daddy's not hungry."
The little girl ate it bit by bit with a spoon, as if it were a rare treasure.
The demons watching shook their heads. "They actually dare to eat food given to them by humans. Aren't they afraid of being poisoned?"
"I've forgotten how Dazhuang's family was poisoned by humans..."
The Demon Father looked at Yun Ci, "Fifty roasted sweet potatoes for a bag of Stiff Wood powder."
Yun Ci nodded, "Okay."
A single Detoxifying Flower is very valuable.
His storage ring was piled high with sweet potatoes, each sweet potato worth one spirit stone. No matter what, they wouldn't lose out.
Yun Ci took out thirty raw sweet potatoes and twenty roasted sweet potatoes.
Tell the demon father and daughter that the raw food can be stored for a longer time, and then it can be cooked by roasting it over a fire.
The Demon Father counted them and handed a bag of powdered stiffwood to Yun Ci.
Then he took all the sweet potatoes into the house and slammed the door shut again.
It's as if the transaction is over and they don't want any more contact with humans.
The people outside scoffed.
Seeing so much food, the little girl was overjoyed. "Daddy, we can fill our bellies now. Daddy, don't always give the food to Xin Xin. Xin Xin wants Daddy to fill his belly too."
"Okay, Dad will eat too."
The father looked away from the window, a smile on his face, and picked up a roasted sweet potato, taking a bite.
During those days of irregular meals, when they could only fill their stomachs with leaf soup, the father and daughter from the demon realm tasted such soft, sweet, and delicious food for the first time.
The room was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.
*
Holding the powdered zombie wood, Yun Ci thought that completing the task was still quite easy!
Yun Ci looked smugly at the senior brothers and sisters around him, "Am I amazing?"
The senior students were charmed by Yun Ci's appearance, and they were excited when they saw the bag of powdered stiff wood in Yun Ci's hand.
"Yes, yes, amazing! It's all thanks to you, Yun Ci!" an inner disciple of the Alchemy Peak said excitedly.
"Ahhh, our Ci Bao is the most amazing!" the two female cultivators exclaimed.
Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and gratitude.
Obtaining the powder of the zombie wood without venturing into the perilous interior significantly reduced the difficulty of the mission by more than half!
But everyone knew it was all thanks to Yun Ci, and their gratitude was palpable.
Lu Yi also said with a smile, "It was already good enough if we didn't come to blows before. Every time we communicated with these people from the demon realm, it either ended in a falling out or a life-or-death struggle."
Many of them disdain bullying the weak and murdering defenseless civilians.
However, some extreme disciples who hate demons to the bone will also kill these people from the demon realm.
On one occasion, demon soldiers happened to arrive, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Some disciples were willing to die together with the demons to kill them, and the demons did the same.
Every year after that, when the disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect came to train, the demon soldiers would come to the border of the demon realm.
The relationship between the two worlds has always been extremely precarious, with every move affecting the whole situation.
This time, we owe it all to Yun Ci.
Yun Ci nodded, it seemed that the ancient antagonism between immortals and demons was indeed true.
But this was his first time coming into contact with demons from the demon realm. The little demon girl's innocence and naivety were genuine, as were the wariness in the demon father's eyes and the rejection from the demon people.
Yun Ci snapped out of her thoughts, "Let's hurry up and pick the spirit flowers, finish the mission as soon as possible and go back."
"Mhm." Everyone nodded.
Yun Ci sprinkled the powder from the stiffwood onto the magic vine.
There were many of them, and in no time they had picked all the Spirit-Cleansing Flowers from the small patch.
The mission was completed without any casualties, and it didn't even consume much spiritual energy.
As they were about to leave, everyone had smiles on their faces.
Everyone kept only a few Spirit-Cleansing Flowers and gave the rest to Yun Ci.
Seeing that everyone had left the healing flower, Yun Ci did not refuse.
There is still some powder left from the wood ash.
Yun Ci put the powder and the Spirit-Clearing Flower into her storage ring.
"The mission is complete, let's go back," said the Golden Core stage senior brother.
Just then, the door on the other side opened.
Everyone looked over when they heard the sound and saw the little girl from the demon realm. The little girl looked at Yun Ci, dragged a large bag over and stuffed it into Yun Ci's hands, and then ran away.
The door was closed again.
Yun Ci was taken aback and opened the bag.
Inside were large, shimmering blue Spirit-Clearing Flowers, completely different from the ones they had picked before.
"......"
"My God, this Spirit-Cleansing Flower must be a hundred years old."
"Now even the little witches of the Demon Realm like Yun Ci."
Everyone looked at Yun Ci with envy.
Yun Ci smiled and looked at the room.
......
On the way back, everyone was noticeably more relaxed.
Even encountering the Demon-Toothed Bat no longer seemed like a problem.
Treat it as practice for reaction time; everyone uses difficult maneuvers to kill bats.
They would occasionally surround He Yunci and talk to him, asking him all sorts of questions.
Sometimes, when Yun Ci is speechless, he will receive a glare from her.
Everyone burst into laughter, but Yun Ci remained silent. "What are you laughing at? I'm angry, and you're still laughing."
What a strange bunch of people.
"Alright, alright, stop laughing." The disciples who were older than Yun Ci stopped laughing.
Suddenly I find Douyun Ci quite interesting.
After walking for a while, Yun Ci and his group encountered another group undergoing training.
Compared to the relaxed atmosphere on Yun Ci's side, the atmosphere on the other side was much heavier.
The two teams of Golden Core cultivators greeted each other, and then the two teams left together.
After walking for a while, Yun Ci learned that several disciples of the opposing team had been injured while picking the spirit flowers and were almost swept into the ground.
Fortunately, the disciples were rescued and are now being treated by the disciples from the Spirit Plant Peak in the group.
However, their spiritual energy was almost completely drained, and those disciples were still very weak.
Everyone is still shaken.
P.S.: I'm taking a break today. Come back tomorrow, everyone. Happy 520!
