Somewhere in the Demon Realm.
Xie Jingshan got a piece of gold leaf that Jiang Yuebai got from the sacred tree. With it, he could travel freely throughout the Demon Realm. As long as he did not enter forbidden areas or infringe on the territory of other ethnic groups, no one would stop him.
Although he was very curious about the demon clan, he felt a sense of urgency when he thought of Jiang Yuebai 'sleeping' in the back room.
"You can't wander around. You must take advantage of the time when she is not practicing to practice quickly. No matter how well she practices magic, I must rush into the middle stage of the golden elixir before her."
Thinking of this, Xie Jingshan gave up the opportunity to explore the Monster Clan and worked diligently every day, meditating at night and practicing swordplay during the day.
He stayed outside the house where Jiang Yuebai was sleeping, never leaving.
The lights are on at three o'clock and the rooster is on at five o'clock. It's the time for men to practice their swordsmanship.

As soon as Jiang Yuebai stepped into Wan Musen's area, he first saw the tangled root system underground. They belonged to different plants, some did not interfere with each other, and some were intertwined. They penetrated deep into the underground water source and occupied almost all the space underground.
All those roots gave Jiang Yuebai a dangerous aura. As soon as she got closer, tentacles from several root systems immediately shot towards her.
Jiang Yuebai hurriedly retreated and saw those different tentacles entangled and strangled each other, hurting both sides.
With no way forward, Jiang Yuebai had no choice but to crawl out of the ground, hide under the thick dead leaves, and enter the depths of Wanmusen.
Along the way, she thought a lot. Since she wanted to make grass, she couldn't just make versicolor grass. She wanted to experience as much as possible the survival of various grasses.
Before, Tiannanxing promised to give her several kinds of spiritual plants for grafting, and also asked her to go to the forest to learn about various spiritual plants. If she liked the kind of spiritual plants, she would tell Tiannanxing, and he would help her find a grass demon with high cultivation level in exchange for a piece.
】
With her current level of demon power, she can only graft another spiritual plant. Only when her soul and demon body perfectly match, that is, after she has been baptized by the emperor's liquid and truly reaches the realm of divine elixir, can she continue grafting.
Then there is the divine sacrificial ceremony. Each clan will select a demon below the divine elixir realm, and the grass and tree demon clan will compete for this in Wanmusen.
Even if she has the recommendation of the Sacred Tree and Tian Nanxing, she still has to convince everyone.
Young~
The sound of deer croaking came, and Jiang Yuebai felt the ground shake, and white vines sprouted from the dead leaves.
Now she is like a snake but not like grass. She keeps wandering without taking root. The energy of the white vine is consumed very quickly. If she hadn't plundered the spiritual energy of the world, she wouldn't have been able to support such a long journey.
Jiang Yuebai heard the sound of feet stepping on dead leaves getting closer and closer, and then a black shadow came down from the top of his head. The memory of being smashed into mud by a monkey revived. Jiang Yuebai tightened his cane and rushed over with a whip with his backhand.
Snapped!
With a whimper, Jiang Yuebai quickly escaped from the shadow range before turning back to look.
A pure white deer stopped in the distance, with traces of mud on its face that she had pulled out, and its antlers rising to the sky like tree branches.
There are several flower vines twining around it, blooming small colorful flowers, attracting butterflies to fly around the antlers. The whole deer gives Jiang Yuebai a natural and sacred aura, making the grass have an inexplicable urge to worship.
Young~
The white deer crowed at Jiang Yuebai and approached again with small steps. Jiang Yuebai was attracted by the aura of the white deer and forgot to avoid it for a moment.
Bai Lu lowered his head and sniffed Jiang Yuebai, then suddenly opened his mouth and bit Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai suddenly came to his senses, Little Magic·Pollen!
The white deer was caught off guard, and its nose was choked by a large amount of pollen. It began to sneeze continuously, frightening away the butterflies around its antlers.
Jiang Yuebai immediately slipped away without looking back and rushed towards the place where the spiritual energy was the strongest.
Gradually, Jiang Yuebai sensed more and more spiritual thoughts, and it became more and more noisy, like a vegetable market.
"Today is another beautiful day~"
"Bee, bee, come quickly~"
"Can't those nasty bugs eat another piece of grass?"
"That's my prey! You thief!"
"The wind is blowing. Children, go away quickly. Go and open up your own territory. It's up to you to strengthen our tribe."
The spiritual thoughts of the demon clan are actually just thoughts, and there is no need to translate the meaning between the demon clan.
But Jiang Yuebai has human thoughts. When these thoughts are transmitted to her sea of consciousness, she will subconsciously translate them into human words.
Jiang Yuebai looked for those spiritual thoughts and saw a blue lake like a mirror. The forest beside the lake was lush and green, with hundreds of flowers blooming and phantoms of light, like a fairyland.
Flower demons, butterfly demons and swarms of flying insects are busy, and various forest monsters gather in groups, drinking and resting by the lake, making it very lively.
If she ran to the wrong place, this should be Qiye Lake, the lake of life in Ten Thousand Musen, where all ethnic groups in Ten Thousand Musen depend for their survival.
With the lake as the center, there are gathered here more than 70% of the demon clan that have not yet transformed into the demon realm, and the grass and tree demon clan below the divine elixir realm.
To survive here, you must first seize a piece of territory. The closer you get to the lake, the more brutal the fighting will be.
Because there is no obstruction by the lake, you can better bathe in the moonlight. The water vapor in the lake is rich and spiritual, and there are a large number of 'gifts' from monsters to choose from.
The only thing you have to worry about is being trampled and eaten by monsters.
"...Look, what is that, a white snake?"
"Is it a white vine, a little vine demon from outside?"
"It smells like versicolor, but how come versicolor is in the shape of a vine?"
The flowers and plants in the forest swayed in the wind, whispering, and various spiritual thoughts swept over Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai turned a deaf ear and passed between the flowers and grass.
"Hey, you! You hit me!"
"You scared my bees away!"
After searching around, Jiang Yuebai saw several old trees near the lake, all entangled with vines. There were only some moss growing around those old trees, but no other flowers and plants.
The aura of the old tree is weak, but on the contrary, the tree vines are full of vitality and aura.
When Jiang Yuebai stopped here, there were gasps all around, and even the busy flower demons and butterfly demons stopped and looked at her in disbelief.
"Does it want to die? It dares to step into the realm of Shilongvine."
"The Stone Dragon Vine is one of the vine demons that has the best chance of being selected for this divine sacrifice ceremony. It's not nicknamed the Ghost Belt for nothing. All the old tree demons it targets are immortal."
"It's a three-hundred-year-old vine demon. It's very poisonous. Last time I encountered a little bit of it, I almost lost my mind."
Listening to their discussion, Jiang Yuebai also noticed that the surrounding bees were collecting honey everywhere, but they did not come near here.
"Ahem, cough, cough~ Xiao Yunzhi, you'd better find another place to take root. It's very dangerous here."
The old and tired spiritual thoughts were transmitted into Jiang Yue's sea of consciousness, the white vines were raised, and the dead trees were shaking their leafless branches.
Those vines were tightly wrapped around the tree, going round and round until the top of the tree. The green leaves were lush and full of small white flowers like windmills, which were in sharp contrast to the lifelessness of the dead trees.
Ivy entangled trees, Jiang Yuebai had seen such a thing in the mountains when she was a child. She still remembered the old man in the village saying that the old ivy trees were lingering, imitating the love in the world.
But in fact, this is a very cruel phenomenon in the forest.
The ivy is weak and the old tree is old. The weak ivy will wrap around the old tree and rob the old tree of sunlight, rain, dew and nutrients.
In the end, the ivy will grow vigorously, but the old tree will be strangled to death.
Even though Jiang Yuebai is a grass at this time, she still retains a trace of humanity. Humanity will sympathize with the weak and repay others for their kindness.
Jiang Yuebai silently buried the white vine into the soil under the tree and firmly took root. The stone dragon vine was disturbed by her, and the small white flowers trembled and dropped a large amount of pollen. Several vines detached from the tree and rolled towards Jiang Yuebai. come over.
The slender rattan is coiled around the roots under the leaves of Yunzhi grass like a snake, and it feels like it is strangling people's neck.
Jiang Yuebai continued to grow his own Yunzhi grass leaves, dancing provocatively against the rattan.
plunder!
Before the cane tightened, Jiang Yuebai did not hesitate to activate the "Immortal Grass Sutra" and forcibly sucked out the original essence of the grass and trees in the Shilong Vine.
The stone dragon vine was frightened and wanted to retreat. Jiang Yue shot out white vines and wrapped them around the stone dragon vine.
Come, come, good friends, hold hands!
[You use the Immortal Herb Sutra to plunder the essence of the third victim, Stone Dragon Vine, and your Immortal Herb Sutra proficiency +666]
【...Proficiency +666】
【...Proficiency +666】
The stone dragon vines on the surrounding old trees began to wither and wither at a speed visible to the naked eye. The old tree, which was so tightly bound that it was difficult to breathe, struggled to break free of the dry vines and shook the dead branches excitedly.
The forest at noon was the most lively and noisy moment, but at this time, it became silent because of the dominance of Jiang Yuebai, an alien vine.
As if frozen, the flowers, plants, trees, bees, butterflies, insects, and mice all exuded shocked thoughts towards the young grass that was only the size of a walnut under the dead tree.
Jiang Yuebai sucked up the stone dragon vines and knocked down the mountain to shake the tiger, establishing her dominance over the grass, taking root with peace of mind, and officially started her cultivation life as a grass.
