After going around in circles from Northern Yan to the southern border, she finally found the last herb.

With it, Wei Qing’s cold poison could be cured.

Wei Ting did not have to lose his brother anymore, nor did Xi Yue have to lose her father. There was also Matriarch Wei and all the Wei family members. They would not lose their family again.

The Snake Bone Flower was not poisonous.

However, the Snake Bone Flower in front of her had yet to bloom. The medicinal properties of the flower bud were not enough, so it could only be dug out and transplanted into the flower pot.

The pharmacy had cultivating dishes, which were almost the same as flower pots.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao took out her dagger and was about to dig out the Snake Bone Flower, a dangerous and terrifying aura suddenly came from ahead. “Who trespassed on the Holy Mountain?”

It was a woman’s voice.

Su Xiaoxiao’s first reaction was that it was the Holy Maiden.

Then, she felt that it was not loud.

That person’s qinggong was outstanding. When she spoke, her voice seemed to be far away, but as soon as she finished speaking, she had already arrived in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

It was a cold-looking woman in her early thirties.

Her eyes were filled with killing intent.

When she saw the cards on Su Xiaoxiao’s waist, her killing intent froze. “Are you here for the Holy Selection? Didn’t anyone tell you that the Holy Selection is to the south of the stream, not the north?”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “How can I answer that?”

She wanted to say, “To be honest, I’m here for the Snake Bone Flower. You probably think I have a

aeatn v.nsn.”

However, ifI lie that I accidentally entered this place, you will ask me to leave immediately—

The woman said coldly, “Why aren’t you leaving quickly? The Northern Holy Mountain is not a place you can come to!”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “What should I say?”

Su Xiaoxiao secretly pinched the silver silk gloves in her sleeves, ready to put them on at any time.

“Senior Sister Yu, did something happen?”

Another female disciple walked over.

This person was about 25 or 26 years old. She was not as outstanding as Senior Sister Yu, but she could be considered handsome.

Senior Sister Yu turned around and said, “A girl who came to participate in the selection accidentally entered the forbidden area.”

The female disciple didn’t care. “Just send her away. Our junior sisters are waiting for you.”

Junior sisters…

In that case, there were more experts here than the two in front of her.

Su Xiaoxiao decisively stuffed the silver gloves back and smiled. “Please show me the way back to the Southern Holy Mountain.”

The female disciple behind said, “Keep walking forward. Go east after leaving the forest.”

“The east is…” Su Xiaoxiao was confused.

The female disciple frowned. “Why can’t you tell north from south?” Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “If I could tell, I wouldn’t have gotten lost…” The female disciple said angrily, “Are you still reasoning with me?”

Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip and lowered her head, looking extremely aggrieved.

“Forget it,” Senior Sister Yu said. “After you leave the forest, turn right and keep walking. You’ll hear the sound of a stream. After you cross the stream, you’ll be at the Southern Holy Mountain.”

“Thank you very much.”

Su Xiaoxiao thanked her and left.

The conversation between the two of them came from behind.

“It’s really getting worse every time!”

“Alright, you can say these things in front of me. Remember to be careful when you go to the Saintess.”

“Got it, Senior Sister Yu. I won’t speak nonsense in front of the Saintess.”

This was a wild medicinal garden. Because many precious herbs were grown here, they were guarded by the Holy Maiden Temple to prevent anyone from picking them or wild beasts from eating them.

It was almost impossible for Su Xiaoxiao to pluck the Snake Bone Flower without alerting the other party. She could only do it when there were fewer people.

From their words, they seemed to be going to see the Saintess. This was the opportunity she had been waiting for.

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to walk away.

About half an hour later, she returned. This time, Senior Sister Yu caught her again.

“Why is it you again?” Senior Sister Yu frowned.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that she should be the one asking this. Didn’t her junior sister call her away? Why wss she lingering here?

“I dropped something,” Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression.

“What is it?” Senior Sister Yu asked warily.

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at her feet. “You stepped on it.”

Senior Sister Yu raised her left foot. No, she raised her right foot. There was indeed an extremely small safety talisman.

This safety talisman was not given by Matriarch Wei. It was taken from Erhu.

There were still many such small talismans with Erhu.

It was impossible for Senior Sister Yu to pick up the talisman and give it to her.

She took a step back and gestured for Su Xiaoxiao to pick it up herself.

Su Xiaoxiao reluctantly walked over and picked up the small talisman. She sighed and said, “It was given to me by a very important relative but you stepped on it. What do you think I should do?”

Senior Sister Yu said calmly, “I’ve already done my best to not kill you for trespassing the forbidden area of the Holy Mountain. Hurry up and leave. If I see you a third time, I won’t let you off easily!”

Su Xiaoxiao snorted and left with the small talisman.

When she returned for the third time, Senior Sister Yu stood in front of her expressionlessly.

Alright, this hurdle could not be avoided.

Senior Sister Yu said angrily, “I think I said that if I see you again, you’ll be dead.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “You said won’t let me off easily. You didn’t say that I would definitely die.”

Senior Sister Yu was speechless.

No matter how stupid Senior Sister Yu was, she could tell that something was wrong. She slapped Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao wouldn’t fight her head-on. She hid behind the tree.

The wind from Senior Sister Yu’s palm landed on the tree. The tree swayed violently, and its leaves fell.

This internal force… broadened Su Xiaoxiao’s horizons.

Su Xiaoxiao continued to run.

At this moment, she was really lucky that she had learned some qinggong from her sisters-in-law.

Senior Sister Yu chased after her and was distracted by her. She did not notice that a parrot had landed beside the Snake Bone Flower.

The little parrot dug with its bird claws.

After digging for a long time, its small claws were about to smoke. It finally dug up the snake bone flower.

It picked up the snake bone flower with its mouth.

It fell.

It was so heavy!

The golden eagle landed beside it.

“Do you want me to run an errand? It’s very cheap. Three pieces of bird food!”

“Two! Otherwise, how many birds would there be?” Two it was.

The golden eagle picked up the Snake Bone Flower.

Wait.

Wuhu stopped it with its small wings and flew onto its body.

He wanted to have a golden eagle carriage.

The golden eagle, who had a parrot riding on its back for the first time, was speechless.

For the sake of bird food, the golden eagle had endured humiliation.

The golden eagle carried Wuhu and left with the herb in its mouth.

Not long after, a disciple of the Holy Maiden Temple realized that the Snake Bone Flower had been taken away by the golden eagle.

She took out the slingshot she carried and shot a småll stone at the golden eagle.

The golden eagle let out a sharp cry when it was hit, and the Snake Bone Flower fell.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up and tapped her toes to grab the Snake Bone Flower.

Senior Sister Yu slashed at her.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly threw the Snake Bone Flower into the pharmacy and caught her blade with her hand that was wearing silver silk gloves.

Senior Sister Yu was stunned. Clearly, she had never seen such an invulnerable defensive weapon.

Su Xiaoxiao took out her dagger with her left hand and cut off her blade!
