Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1110: Treasure Hunt

After Luo Qianqian spoke, Big Black and Xiao Hei seemed to sense something and came to stand before Tang Tianyi. They paid him no attention, instead tinkering with the black object in front of them, carefully observing it.

The eyes of the two beasts met in the air, carrying expressions of shock, yet there was a certain sameness.

However, the joy in their eyes overwhelmingly took over as they nodded to Luo Qianqian and then climbed down from the object onto the ground.

Tang Tianyi looked baffled, what was going on?

Watching the interaction between the two beasts, Luo Qianqian’s face showed some amazement, and she smiled at Tang Tianyi: ”In the future, you should just focus on treasure hunting, why cultivate? You’re practically a treasure detector.”

”...What on earth is happening?” Tang Tianyi still didn’t understand, raising his brows inquisitively.

Immortal Wood? He had never even heard such a term.

”I don’t know either, but looking at Big Black’s expression, you can tell it must be something amazing.” She smiled lightly at Tang Tianyi and, after seeing him nod, Luo Qianqian approached the object with curiosity, asking Big Black and Xiao Hei: ”What’s this thing used for?”

”You know that only Chinese Parasol Wood can nurture phoenixes, right?” Xiao Hei calmly explained to the two Xiao Bai: ”As long as there’s Phoenix Wood, even if a phoenix is near death, it can achieve rebirth from the ashes; the Immortal Wood serves a similar purpose, except it is specific to wood attribute holy beasts.”

Mumbling silently about the Four Symbols, Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened in astonishment. In unison with Tang Tianyi, she exclaimed: ”Azure Dragon!”

”Exactly. The difference is that the Immortal Wood is a healing artifact. With Immortal Wood nearby, the Azure Dragon becomes an invincible War God,” Big Black nodded, flicking its tongue, its gaze filled with nostalgia.

”The only issue is, the Immortal Wood seems to have gone through a heavenly tribulation, its vitality severed, and can only be used as spiritual medicine now.”

It’s been struck so much, can its vitality not be severed? It’s just short of catching on fire, isn’t it?

Luo Qianqian looked regretfully at the Immortal Wood, her palm lowered to caress its trunk lightly.

”This was once the trunk of the Immortal Tree, but when the Cultivation World disappeared, it lost its vitality. In other places, the Immortal Tree would still be unable to grow.”

Watching Luo Qianqian’s actions, after she got up, Tang Tianyi slightly sighed, withdrew his gaze, wagged his tail slightly, and his eyes flashed with a bit of regret.

The sky was so dark one could hardly see anything, but with the flashlight’s glow, they could still make out the appearance of a large section of tree root. Evidently, no one knew where its upper part had gone.

”Where did you find it?” Big Black suddenly asked.

Tang Tianyi pointed in the direction he had returned from: ”I saw it on the road, and since it was getting dark, I hurried back without a detailed look.”

Apart from the howling wind, there was no other sound to be heard around.

Yet Big Black seemed like it had won the lottery, jumping up excitedly. The night had lowered, and in the moonlight along with the blowing wind, the trees appeared like ferocious beasts baring their fangs and claws.

Big Black remained silent for a moment: ”Let’s pack up and go take a look. Qhianqhian will be fine.”

In the darkness, Luo Qianqian gently raised her head to look at the moonlight, listening to Big Black’s excited voice, and smiled lightly.

Seems like they’ve found some treasure clues?

Tang Tianyi hesitated for a moment, looking at the gigantic Immortal Wood that couldn’t fit into his ring. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dragged it back. Recently, despite consuming quite a lot of supplies, one must not litter, and he had collected quite a bit of spiritual herbs and medicines and even wolf pelts...

So the space hadn’t diminished much; instead, it had become smaller.

Between the mountains and trees, occasionally a distant beast roar could be heard, causing one’s hair to stand on end.

As for the half-cooked meat, Tang Tianyi poured a few boxes out into his ring to avoid worrying about food supplies.

Immortal Wood was initially their most headache-inducing item, yet Big Black naturally packed it into the black crystal stone on Luo Qianqian’s neck.

They followed the drag marks, moving further from the Snow Cave.

Steep cliffs, menacing rocks, and the precarious snow piles, under the moonlight and snowy reflection, added a touch of icy chill.

Luo Qianqian watched Big Black with a bewildered expression. They had followed the path from the place they found the Immortal Wood without glimpsing any treasure site?

Moreover, with each step uneven, they nearly induced mountain slides burying them.

”Is it here?” Big Black looked at Xiao Hei, excitement evident in its voice.

Taking a few steps forward, Xiao Hei looked carefully down the cliff: ”It should be. Besides our Water-Repelling Pearl, there’s no other possible source for this aura.”

Wind Calming Pearl? Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi were both bewildered.

Indeed, the world of beasts was beyond their understanding.

”Wait here, we’ll go have a look,” Big Black moved close to the cliff edge, peered over, and sent a large chunk of snow down with it.

Nodding slightly, Luo Qianqian sat down by a tree.

Although the distance traveled wasn’t as long as their previous journeys, they usually didn’t intentionally climb such a mountain, which was steep, necessitating a downward climb again.

Big Black crawled beside Luo Qianqian and retrieved its crystal stone from her neck.

”We’re leaving.” Then, it astonishingly leaped off the high cliff.

Xiao Hei followed closely, and jumped down as well.

Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi exchanged glances.

”They wouldn’t be thinking of a return suicide, right?” Luo Qianqian blinked, leaning against the tree, her expression still somewhat weary. Before Tang Tianyi returned, Big Black helped her with a spiritual power partition, controlling her already sparse spiritual power around her five ice edges, almost causing her to faint again.

This consumption of spiritual power brought the sole advantage of her spiritual power feeling slightly stronger.

The downside was needing to exhaust her power completely before absorbing again to gain a tiny increase, while the pain and helplessness from exhaustion were unbearable fatigue.

However, at the moment, she quietly chose cultivation.

Otherwise, what could she do on this uninhabited snowy mountain? Build a snowman? Have a snowball fight? Consider the setting!

Not to mention the handcuff and leg iron-like objects!

It couldn’t be any sadder.

Tang Tianyi had the same thought, so he silently chose to sit cross-legged opposite Luo Qianqian.

As they knitted their brows, a whirlwind slowly formed. Compared to when they first put it on, their absorption speed was significantly quicker, though still incomparable to their peak state.

Even their condition in the Human Realm far surpassed the current one.

Alas, the wrist and ankle rings, along with the inner armor, were simply impossible for them to remove!
