Shen Chuyun regarded those leaves as Shen Qing and kept venting his resentment.
He didn't notice at all that the sap of the leaves had seeped into his skin, forming yellow spots.
Shen Qing rummaged through the leaves of the giant chrysanthemum for a long time and finally dug out the fire - repelling herb.
She was very lucky. There were actually two plants of the fire - repelling herb growing here. If she sold them in the city, she would get two top - grade spiritual stones at once.
Shen Chuyun hacked the giant chrysanthemum leaves to pieces. When he turned around and saw Shen Qing holding two plants of the fire - repelling herb in her hand, his first reaction was to reach out, expecting Shen Qing to give them to him.
But Shen Qing didn't even glance at him and directly put the fire - repelling herb into her storage bag.
Shen Chuyun's face darkened. He didn't expect that Shen Qing would no longer try to please him.
"What? You don't think I'll take care of you like before, do you, brother?"
The sarcasm in Shen Qing's tone infuriated Shen Chuyun. His emotions were on the verge of a breakdown.
"You're not worthy to be my sister!"
"A good - for - nothing from a mundane village, a useless person with three spiritual roots. I'm a disciple of the True Lord Hengling, a prodigy of heaven. Don't think that just because we're blood - related, I'll take care of you!"
Shen Chuyun vented his emotions excitedly. At the same time, itching sensations came from all over his body.
"Little disciple, have you noticed that there's something wrong with Shen Chuyun?"
In Ling Zhou's eyes, whenever Shen Chuyun mentioned Shen Qing or faced her, his body would be shrouded in a thick black mist.
This kind of mist carried a repulsive and inauspicious aura, more like demonic qi.
But Shen Qing didn't have Ling Zhou's ability to see through soul power. She just simply thought that Shen Chuyun was too irritable.
"Master, what did you see?"
"There's a thick black mist on Shen Chuyun, like demonic qi..."
Listening to Ling Zhou's explanation, Shen Qing was a bit confused.
If it was demonic qi, even with her low cultivation, Shen Qing should be able to detect it.
Moreover, there were no signs of Shen Chuyun being possessed by demons.
While cursing, Shen Chuyun kept scratching his body, but the itching sensation didn't subside at all. Instead, it became more intense.
"What's going on? Why does my body feel so strange?"
"Shen Qing, what did you do to me?!"
Shen Qing couldn't help but sneer. "A useless person with poor skills. The leaves you hacked just now are called giant chrysanthemum leaves. Endure it."
With that, she turned around and continued walking.
Shen Chuyun was stunned.
Giant chrysanthemum leaves?
Yes, how could he forget? The environment suitable for the growth of the fire - repelling herb was also suitable for the growth of the giant chrysanthemum leaves.
It could be said that where there was the fire - repelling herb, there must be giant chrysanthemum leaves, but where there were giant chrysanthemum leaves, there might not necessarily be the fire - repelling herb.
The fire - repelling herb grew on the rhizomes of the giant chrysanthemum leaves, and the sap of the giant chrysanthemum leaves could make people itch all over their bodies for up to a month. Only the sap of the fire - repelling herb leaves could relieve it.
But Shen Qing had no intention of giving him the fire - repelling herb leaves, and Shen Chuyun was too proud to beg Shen Qing. He could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Shen Qing noticed Shen Chuyun's strange actions. While carefully avoiding the dangers on the road, he scratched himself in various postures.
Now Shen Chuyun looked more like a big macaque.
It should have taken only one day to get out of the dense forest, but Shen Qing deliberately dragged it out to three days.
Because with Ling Zhou's reminder, she found many rare herbs along the way, and even discovered a purple - faced ginseng, which was worth ten top - grade spiritual stones.
Shen Qing was happy. In contrast, Shen Chuyun was tortured and became much thinner in these short three days.
At first, Shen Chuyun still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that since Shen Qing could find the fire - repelling herb, he could too.
Who would have thought that along the way, only Shen Qing continuously obtained spiritual herbs and plants, while Shen Chuyun was too busy scratching due to the itching all over his body to pay attention. He didn't even know how many treasures Shen Qing had actually obtained.
He blamed all this on Shen Qing.
If it weren't for Shen Qing, he would still be taking good care of Junior Sister Xiaobai on Nianbai Peak. How could he be suffering like this in the forest?
Finally getting out of the forest, Shen Chuyun felt like he was coming back to life.
And Shen Qing also felt that her meridians had improved a lot. She could even fly with a sword.
In the dense forest, the only dangers were plants and spirit beasts. But outside the forest, there were many more dangerous things on the road.
She might run into some evil cultivators or ill - intentioned wandering cultivators. With Shen Qing's current cultivation, she was no match for them at all.
Shen Qing opened the map and saw that the nearest and largest city to the Qingyun Sword Sect was Yaotai City.
If flying with a sword, it would only take about two days to get there.
Ling Zhou also noticed Shen Qing's choice. He recalled the Yaotai City a thousand years ago in his mind, and there was also a hint of anticipation in his heart.
Shen Qing summoned Bishuo and directly flew away on the sword.
Shen Chuyun was a bit stunned by Shen Qing's sudden action. But after he reacted, he followed her cursing and flying away on his sword.
On the sword, Shen Qing slowly controlled the circulation of her spiritual power. There was no more stabbing pain in her meridians, which proved that her body was gradually getting better.
On the other hand, Shen Chuyun was in sharp contrast to Shen Qing.
Because of the giant chrysanthemum leaves, Shen Chuyun had scratched almost every inch of his skin.
In order to get a little relief, he had to spend spiritual power to block his sense of touch.
After the itching disappeared, Shen Chuyun finally let out a sigh of relief.
But constantly circulating spiritual power for several days had caused problems with Shen Chuyun's meridians. He felt stabbing pain all over his body during the flight with the sword.
After flying for two days and two nights, Shen Qing finally arrived at Yaotai City.
After paying the entry fee, Shen Qing changed out of her Qingyun Sword Sect disciple's robe and put on an ordinary cultivator's robe.
Seeing this, Shen Chuyun just snorted.
When traveling outside, the disciple's robe of the Qingyun Sword Sect was a symbol of dignity. Shen Qing obviously had too little experience and didn't know how much convenience this robe could bring her.
But Shen Chuyun would never remind Shen Qing.
Shen Qing had never been to a cultivator's town before. After entering, she looked around curiously.
The cultivator's town didn't look much different from a mundane town, if you ignored the cultivators flying all over the sky, as well as some floating pavilions and flying boats.
Cultivators didn't need to eat, so there were only a few shops selling some fresh spiritual fruits on the road.
There were more shops in the city selling magic tools, pills, and talismans.
But in this big town, there were also some shops specifically selling small accessories that female cultivators liked. These small accessories were also a kind of small magic tools, but they were more exquisitely made and more expensive.
Whenever Shen Qing passed by these shops, she was always attracted by the things inside.
But thinking that she didn't have many spiritual stones on her, she could only leave reluctantly.
In contrast, whenever Shen Chuyun saw Shen Qing stop in front of a shop, he would go in and buy some things.
After coming out, he would always show off in front of Shen Qing on purpose.
"These little things, Junior Sister Xiaobai will definitely like them. I'll give them all to her later."
Shen Chuyun expected Shen Qing to show a disappointed look, but to his disappointment, Shen Qing never paid attention to him.
