After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 375 Ten thousand years to reach the highest quality?

In a valley shrouded in white mist, Shen Qingqing groped her way forward, sometimes bumping into sharp rocks, sometimes stepping into muddy pits, or even being hit by pheasants and rabbits that suddenly jumped out, frightening her so much that cold sweats broke out.

But even so, she never thought of stopping.

The system said that there was a thousand-year-old elixir in this valley that could improve the quality of her spiritual roots, and she must seize this opportunity.

Although her five elements spiritual roots are unique, if the quality of each spiritual root is so low, then she is no different from trash.

With her vision obstructed, Shen Qingqing stumbled through the icy stream and leaned against a stone wall to catch her breath.

She no longer remembered how far she had walked since entering the secret realm, and her physical strength was almost at its limit.

"System, how far is it?"

The system paused for a moment and replied.

[Because the Mountain and Sea Secret Scroll has a powerful spiritual power that blocks prying eyes, this system cannot scan it on a large scale, so I cannot answer the host's question.]

“…”Can this system be broken a little more?

If there was no other way, Shen Qingqing really wanted to give it a one-star bad review and strongly requested to replace the system with a more useful one.

There was no other way, Shen Qingqing could only rely on herself to explore, but the system also assured her that with the defensive shield she exchanged, monsters of level six and below would not be able to hurt her, so she felt a lot more relieved.

But even so, she did not let go of the sword for a moment.

After walking for who knows how long and encountering who knows how many little monsters, Shen Qingqing suddenly smelled a fresh and cool fragrance, which swept away all the fatigue in her body and made her look energetic again.

She was secretly surprised at the effect of the fragrance, and at the same time she felt a little excited.

If her prediction was correct, the owner of this fragrance should be the elixir she was looking for.

"System, please take a quick look. Can you now determine the location of the elixir I'm looking for?"

The system made a "hissing" sound of electricity and confirmed it after a moment.

[The elixir is on the cliff a hundred meters above the host's head. The elixir is complete and has a medicinal power of ten thousand years. After the host consumes it, he can refine any spiritual power and transform it into a top-grade quality.]

"It takes ten thousand years to become top quality?" Shen Qingqing was unwilling to accept it.

[Refining spiritual roots and improving their quality is inherently difficult under the laws of this world. Without the guidance of this system, it remains to be seen whether the host can refine their spiritual roots to the highest quality.]

Shen Qingqing was choked by the system.

Even though she was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to pick the magical herb first.

"Spirit sword, unsheath." Shen Qingqing recited the sword-controlling mantra.

However, her sword remained motionless, as if it had not received her command.

She tried several more times, but failed each time.

"System, what's going on? Why can't I control my sword?"

[System detection shows that this cliff has the function of blocking spiritual energy and inhibiting the operation of spiritual arts. If the host wants to pick spiritual herbs, he must climb up himself.]

"It's a hundred meters away from me. You want me to climb such a steep cliff with such low visibility?" Shen Qingqing questioned the system in disbelief.

However, the system is just a system. It only provides methods to pick herbs. As for whether Shen Qingqing can do it, that is her business and is beyond the system's consideration.

Shen Qingqing looked at the stone wall in front of her, feeling frightened. However, for the sake of her spiritual root quality, she could only grit her teeth and fight.

"System, if I accidentally fall down, will I die?"

[The host has a protective shield to protect him. At most, he will suffer a broken bone. Please rest assured.]

After hearing this, Shen Qingqing no longer had any worries. She rolled up her sleeves and started climbing up the stone wall.

But she had never done such a thing before. In the past, for such hard work, she could either use her spiritual power, or have the help of the senior sister, or have a few senior brothers to cover for her. She had never done it alone.

He had only climbed a little bit when he stepped on the wrong place and rolled down.

There were no broken bones, but the skin exposed outside her clothes was scratched and bleeding. She touched it with her hand and gasped in pain.

"System, is there really no other way to pick that elixir?" Shen Qingqing asked with the last glimmer of hope.

The system responded coldly.

[The host can choose to give up this spiritual medicine and leave this place.]

How is that possible? She had finally found this place!

Shen Qingqing prepared herself mentally, endured the scratches on her hands and feet, and tried to climb again.

This time I climbed a little higher than last time, but unfortunately I couldn’t hold on and fell down.

Shen Qingqing wiped the dust off her face and continued to climb.

Clouds and mists are floating, rocks are jagged, and the roars of monsters can be heard from the distant valley. Occasionally, the wind blows through the treetops, and the swaying shadows become drifting ghostly shadows, adding a sense of coldness and terror.

Shen Qingqing fell and climbed, climbed and fell again. Most of the stone wall in a distance of a hundred meters was stained with her blood.

But she had no intention of giving up. Finally, after rolling down again and climbing up again, she reached the elixir that emitted a faint and strange fragrance.

Her pupils burst into excited light, and she pulled it out by the roots in one breath.

When she pulled, the white mist around her dissipated, leaving a clearing, and the feeling of spiritual power stagnating in her body disappeared.

However, before she could be happy, the protruding rock she was holding on to suddenly fell off, and her body suddenly fell down and rolled down the sharp rock wall.

Shen Qingqing's mind went blank. Instinctively, she immediately held the elixir in her arms, closed her eyes tightly, and waited fearfully for the severe pain of broken bones after her body fell to the ground.

But what she didn't expect was that she didn't fall to the hard ground. Instead, someone caught her in mid-air and she landed steadily.

Before she could recover from the shock of falling, she heard a soft laugh and was gently lowered to the ground.

"I didn't expect that Junior Sister is someone who values ​​treasure over her life. I've really impressed you."

Shen Qingqing cautiously opened one eye and saw the young man squatting in front of her with his eyebrows curved and a slight smile on his face.

The breeze blows the shadows of the trees, and the warm sun creates golden smoke.

The boy's resolute outline was hidden in the light white mist, and he looked surprisingly good.

Shen Qingqing was stunned for a moment, quickly patted her skirt and stood up from the ground.

By the way, put the elixir into your Qiankun bag.

"Master Chen... Senior Brother."

Chen Huasheng nodded as a response.

Glancing at her, he was shocked to see the scars of all sizes on her body, and immediately took out the ointment to apply on the wounds.

When he wanted to apply medicine to her, he felt it was not appropriate and stopped hesitantly.

"Little junior sister..."
