After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 202 Familiar Faces Appear Together

"Where are you going?" Su Luo was startled and hurriedly chased after him.

The Soul-Devouring Beast ran incredibly fast, only stopping when it reached a large pit ahead. It then turned back and barked at Su Luo before jumping right in.

When Su Luo and Lin Ji arrived at the edge of the pit and looked down, they both couldn't help but widen their eyes slightly.

The bottom of the pit was filled with countless white bones and dried soil, and among the gaps between those bones bloomed one after another the dazzling Seven-Colored Lotus, a flower blooming among millions of bones, with a bewitching beauty.

After a long while, Su Luo murmured to herself, "There are so many Seven-Colored Lotuses at the bottom of this pit..."

The Seven-Colored Lotus is a sacred, heavenly-grade spiritual plant that can help cultivators heal injuries, restore their inner cores, and rapidly improve their cultivation. It is extremely rare, and the male protagonist in the novel was able to obtain one due to a fortuitous encounter (although Su Luo intercepted it). However, this kind of spiritual plant is now blooming all over an entire large pit!

How many flowers are there?

Looking around, there are so many that you can't even count them all!

Not only was Su Luo shocked, but Lin Ji was also taken aback.

He had heard of the renowned Seven-Colored Lotus, a celestial-grade spiritual plant, and naturally knew of its powerful effects. He never expected to see so many Seven-Colored Lotuses; no one would believe it if he told them!

While the two were still in shock, the Soul-Devouring Beast leaped around in the pit, catching the few vengeful spirits that drifted out from the bones like it was catching butterflies, and then swallowing them whole with a "whoosh." Meanwhile, its claws occasionally stepped on the Seven-Colored Lotus flowers, causing the petals to fall in a flurry.

Su Luo finally came to her senses and immediately saw this wasteful scene. She was so heartbroken that she almost couldn't choke on her food.

"Soul-devouring beast! Stop! No, stop your claws! Be careful, don't trample those flowers!"

The Soul-Devouring Beast, having just finished devouring a vengeful spirit, was suddenly startled by Su Luo's loud rebuke. Startled, it quickly changed course and leaped onto the nearby skeleton. Then, tilting its head, it looked at Su Luo and meowed rather aggrievedly.

My owner is so mean to me!! Meow~ I'm so unhappy!

Once she was sure the Seven-Colored Lotus hadn't been damaged any further, Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she softened her voice and explained to the Soul-Devouring Beast, "Soul-Devouring Beast, your master didn't mean to be mean to you. She was just in a hurry. You don't understand, these flowers are extremely precious. It would be such a waste to destroy them."

"Meow~"

The Soul-Devouring Beast tilted its head, as if it understood Su Luo's words.

Su Luo paused, then, remembering that the Soul-Devouring Beast had done that to help her eliminate the vengeful spirits, her heart softened instantly. "You were eating the vengeful spirits just now, weren't you? You're amazing! You helped Master so much without her having to say a word, and even led Master to find so many precious spiritual plants. Master is truly overjoyed!"

"Meow~meow~"

The Soul-Devouring Beast let out a soft cry, its two tails almost turning into propellers, clearly flattered by Su Luo.

After that, without Su Luo needing to say anything more, they never encountered the Seven-Colored Lotus again during the Soul-Devouring Beast event.

Just then, Chu Wenqing's voice came from afar, "Su Luo, Lin Ji, where are you? We found so many good things, come and share them!"

Su Luo quickly waved in response, "We're over here, come quickly! There are lots of good things here too!"

"What? Real or fake?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Wenqing and the other two perked up immediately, carrying various spiritual plants, fish, and shrimp in their hands, and ran over excitedly.

When they saw the Seven-Colored Lotus at the bottom of the pit, they were all petrified on the spot, their eyes almost popping out.

Chu Wenqing pointed at the Seven-Colored Lotus with trembling hands, not even noticing that the fish and shrimp in his arms had fallen. "This...this is the Seven-Colored Lotus? Am I dreaming? There are so many of these Saint-level spiritual plants!"

Oh no! He was worried he might be dreaming, so he grabbed Lin Ji's arm and asked, "Lin Ji, I'm awake right now, right? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Lin Ji pulled her arm back and glared at him. "Don't you know if you're dreaming? If you don't believe me, why don't you slap yourself and see if it hurts?"

Lin Ji was instinctively being sarcastic, but to his surprise, Chu Wenqing actually nodded in agreement, "Oh, right!"

Immediately, he slapped himself hard.

"It hurts! This isn't a dream!"

Chu Wenqing covered his face, and after feeling the pain, he burst into laughter like a fool, "Hahahaha! It's not a dream! It's all real! Hahaha!!"

Lin Ji's lips twitched as he watched.

A fool.

Feng Xiyue stared intently at the Seven-Colored Lotuses until her eyes stung and she blinked habitually, at which point she rubbed them. Then, she opened her eyes again, rubbed them again, and opened them again, repeating this action several times before she finally believed what she was seeing.

Then she covered her mouth and let out a deafening soprano scream, "Holy crap! There really are so many Seven-Colored Lotuses! Ahhh!!"

Meanwhile, Song Qiao was completely dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the Seven-Colored Lotus, his face full of doubt, his lips moving slightly as he muttered something to himself.

Su Luo took a few steps closer before she heard what he was saying.

"Wow, so many Seven-Colored Lotuses... Didn't Master tell me that a Seven-Colored Lotus only blooms once every thousand years? How come there are so many here, like cabbages? If I tell Master this, will he think I'm crazy? Hehe, hehehe..."

Su Luo: ...

It seems the impact of the Seven-Colored Lotus was too great; the three people were completely stunned.

Su Luo waited for quite a while, until the Soul-Devouring Beast had all climbed onto her shoulder. Chu Wenqing and the other two were still in a daze when she finally cleared her throat and spoke up.

"Ahem... everyone, it's time to snap out of it."

The three of them finally came to their senses, and then all looked at Su Luo and Lin Ji with fervent eyes, chattering away all at once.

"Su Luo, how did you find so many Seven-Colored Lotuses? You're amazing!!"

"Yes, yes, I never expected you to find so many Seven-Colored Lotuses! You don't know, this spiritual plant is incredibly precious, so precious that it's priceless! Even those Nascent Soul stage monsters don't have a single one!"

"I...I really admire you all!"

Su Luo didn't take credit for it and honestly replied, "We didn't discover it. The Soul-Devouring Beast found it first and led us there on its own."

"real?!"

At that moment, the three of them immediately turned their burning gazes back to the Soul-Devouring Beast, thinking to themselves at the same time, "Yes, from now on, the Soul-Devouring Beast will be the cutest creature in the world!"

The Soul-Eating Beast was so frightened by the strange looks from the three people that its fur stood on end.

Meow! Master, there's a pervert!

At this moment, Lin Ji glanced at the sky and reminded her, "Su Luo, it's getting dark."

"right!"

Su Luo snapped out of her daze and urged, "Let's hurry and pick all these Seven-Colored Lotuses before it gets completely dark."

With so many Seven-Colored Lotuses, I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't pick them and put them in my storage bag right away!

As for whether they'll leave some for others? Heh, that's impossible! Good stuff belongs to whoever sees it; isn't that the rule of the cultivation world?!

The three of them lit up and quickly agreed in unison.

Soon, the five of them got busy, carefully pulling the Seven-Colored Lotuses out of the ground one by one, and then putting them all into the empty alchemy furnace that Feng Xiyue had brought out.

Good heavens! To prevent damaging the Seven-Colored Lotus, and since there was no bucket available, Feng Xiyue used her alchemy furnace as a bucket.

The five of them were sweating profusely, but they couldn't shake the smiles on their faces.

Since the Soul-Eating Beast couldn't help, it simply wandered off to another place. Zhu Zhu also came out at this moment, but it was lying on the grass not far from the pit, eating something.

Everyone dug and dug, until only the last two Seven-Colored Lotuses remained in the large pit. Suddenly, Song Qiao's nose twitched, and he looked up. "Someone's coming! I smell many people."

"what?"

Su Luo frowned, then immediately realized, "The water source here is plentiful and the supplies are abundant, which is indeed very eye-catching. It's not surprising that people have come."

Since their parting at the Xuanbing Realm, they hadn't encountered any cultivators for several days. Now that they had reached the final trial location, there were more people around, so it was normal to run into others again.

Feng Xiyue stared reluctantly at the two Seven-Colored Lotuses, her voice full of worry, "Su Luo, there are still two that haven't been dug up. If those people get close to this area, they will definitely see the Seven-Colored Lotuses, and I'm afraid it will cause a conflict."

The Seven-Colored Lotus is incredibly precious; a single flower can cause a bloodbath, let alone so many of them. If others find out, they'll probably be hunted down to the ends of the earth!

"Don't worry."

Su Luo put the rest of the Seven-Colored Lotuses into her storage bag and then said, "I'll put these away for now. You can continue digging up the remaining two. Don't rush. As for those people who are heading this way, Lin Ji and I will go and hold them off for now."

Lin Ji immediately nodded obediently.

Chu Wenqing took the initiative to walk over, patted his chest and said, "I'm better at dealing with people, so I'll go with you to take a look. Anyway, there are only two trees left to dig up, so it'll be one for each of you, Senior Sister and Junior Brother."

"it is good."

After making their decision, the three immediately left the pit. To prevent anyone from coveting the spirit beast, Su Luo also took Zhu Zhu inside with her.

Just then, the Soul-Devouring Beast appeared out of nowhere and nimbly jumped onto Su Luo's shoulder. The three people and the beast quickly headed forward, and after walking about a few hundred meters, they encountered a large group of people coming towards them.

After seeing the person clearly, Su Luo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It really is a gathering of familiar faces!
