"Hurry and help me out! The roots of this tree are way too deep!"

An Lin pulled with all his might, yet he still couldn't uproot the tree. Thus, he immediately called for help.

Hearing this, Xiao Chou and Da Bai ran over and also grabbed onto the Fire Blood Divine Tree.

"One, two, three… heave-ho!!!"

An Lin roared loudly, and the dog and monkey both pulled.

Boom…!

The ground started tremoring and a network of veins popped up on the crimson surface.

Then, the soil was sent flying and crimson roots were ripped out from the ground.

An Lin and the others were shocked. The roots of this tree covered an area thousands of feet in radius! No wonder it was so difficult to pull out!

Time was of the essence, and An Lin didn't have time to inspect their spoils. He hurriedly placed the Fire Blood Divine Tree into his storage ring before starting to retreat.

At this moment, a female's voice once again sounded from the blue halo. "I beg you, please rescue us! We have a treasure map of the ancient battleground here! If you rescue us, then the treasures are all yours!!!"

An Lin paused mid-step. He glanced toward the blue halo and saw the young female's despairing look. Her delicate face was tearstained, and she also held an ancient sheepskin map in her hands.

For some reason, his heart softened.

"Fine, I'll risk rescuing you this once!"

"Gundam One, Gundam Two, activate gravity field! Mark the three females as allies!"

Boom!

A purple halo started spreading out. This halo released a devastating pressure, and it crushed all the nearby evil spirits down onto the ground.

"Run!!" An Lin shouted at the three females.

Yin Yu's reaction was insanely quick. She immediately retracted the blue halo and rushed toward An Lin with her two maids.

The powerful gravity field couldn't last for long, and it started disappearing soon after Yin Yu reached An Lin's side.

The two targets of the massive mob of evil spirits converged into one. The pressure faced by An Lin and the others instantly increased immensely.

Like a surging wave, countless evil spirits swooped toward An Lin.

Their ghostly shrieks reverberated through the skies, and they bared their piercing fangs and brandished their sharp black claws. This surge of evil spirits was aggressive and relentless, and their speed was even faster than that of the three females.

Gundam One and Gundam Two brought up the rear, and they continuously launched attacks in order to hold the evil spirits back. Meanwhile, An Lin, Xiao Chou, and Da Bai cleared the path ahead. The three "flower for visiting.

He held the sheepskin map in his hands and looked at the locations of the treasures that were marked out on it.

These locations were all conjectured by the high priest of the dragon tribe, so it was very likely that there would be exotic plants and materials at these places. Moreover, even the estimated danger levels were labeled next to these locations.

The Serene Attaining Grass that he had obtained earlier was of exceptional quality, yet it didn't appear on this map. Clearly, the high priest wasn't able to mark out all the treasures that existed here. Every one thousand years, the dragon tribe would send people here to collect the treasures which formed naturally. Not only was this a type of training, but it was also a chance to encounter rare opportunities.

Who would've thought that he would be able to take advantage of this once in a thousand years opportunity? An Lin was overjoyed just thinking about this.

As for Prince Chi Wu, he wouldn't dare seek out the treasures even if he learned of their locations. With his cowardly personality, he would need at least a few cannon fodder mates before he dared venture into any dangerous location.

Thus, An Lin wasn't afraid of Chi Wu beating him to the punch. He planned on finding the Ancient Purple Vine and True Blood of the Winged Dragon first before trying to obtain the other treasures.

"Time for us to get going!" An Lin said as he stood up.

After resting for a while, they had all recovered their energy already.

"What treasure are we going to look for first?" Yin Yu asked curiously.

An Lin gave her a sidelong glance. After learning that the exit had closed, this little princess who was sobbing just then decided to tag along with them. Although An Lin also knew that he gave off a sense of security, it would still be quite a hassle bringing this burden along.

"If you fully unleash your powers, can your strength reach the Soul Formation Stage?" An Lin suddenly asked.

Yin Yu was slightly dazed. Then, she answered earnestly, "It can probably reach… Half-Step Soul Formation Stage."

Then, she saw An Lin's look of disdain.

Her chest tightened. "You… A cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage being able to unleash the power of Half-Step Soul Formation Stage is already really impressive, okay?!"

"Yeah…" An Lin nodded. "When I was of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage, I slaughtered a few beasts of the Soul Formation Stage. Now that I'm at the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage, I can probably slay beasts of the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage with a single strike of my sword…"

Yin Yu was stupefied.

She dazedly stared at An Lin. His eyes were full of disdain and his expression appeared serious…

She finally realized something. Not only was there a potential problem with her intelligence, but perhaps she was also a weakling…

The two maids understood the meaning behind An Lin's question. "In times of critical need, we're willing to sacrifice ourselves for our master!"

An Lin nodded. These two Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage maids had pretty good awareness.

If Yin Yu could unleash the strength of Half-Step Soul Formation Stage… then she wouldn't be a burden anymore.

Just like that, they eventually agreed for Yin Yu to tag along.

"Let's go. We'll look for the Ancient Purple Vine and True Blood of the Winged Dragon first!"'Flower vases' means someone who is beautiful but has no other redeeming ability.
