Chapter 388: Who?

“Ka!” Another earth spirit was caught. It twisted and turned, trying its best to get out of little’s Boo’s grip while screaming. However, its screams were ignored as it was tossed into the sack.

Seeing two unknown things wiggling around, Little daze scooted over to get a better look. It stuck out its tongue almost as if to eat them.

This scared the spirits as they made extremely high-pitched screams that hurt one’s ear.

“Little Daze!” Lu Mingshu stopped it in time. “This isn’t food; you won’t be able to digest it.”

Due to taking in too much energy from the ground daily, one couldn’t digest the spirits, so if anyone ate them accidentally, it would have grave consequences.

“Neigh!” Little daze trotted away after letting out a sad neigh.

To little daze, anything that couldn’t be eaten was useless.

Little daze sat at the side, chewing on grass silently. At a place with such ley lines, there should be spiritual plants around. But thanks to the earth spirits who absorbed all the energy, there weren’t many spiritual plants around.

Not much later, little Boo caught another earth spirit. It threw it into the sack and continued to search for more.

After some time, the sack was filled with earth spirits screaming and tossing around, trying to escape. Sadly, they couldn’t because of the invisible barrier blocking them.

While the three of them were focused on earth spirit hunting, they didn’t realize that someone was watching them secretly.

It was a guy and a girl. The guy looked like he was in his thirties, and he seemed very mature. The girl next to him…was Fu Mingxi?

And in fact, the both of them had already been here for many days.

A few days ago, Fu Mingxi bumped into Lu Mingshu at the truth courtyard and found out that she planned to travel here to get earth spirits. So, Fu Mingxi had an idea to teach her a lesson.

Thank god that lady luck was with her. If Lu Mingshu came right after she got the badge, Fu Mingxi would’ve never been able to catch up to her.

But Lu Mingshu didn’t leave immediately, thus making some time for her. Even if Fu Mingxi wasn’t smart, she was at least aware that her plan shouldn’t be known. She didn’t even tell Fu Mingtang about this and secretly found help herself, which was the guy next to her.

The guy was Zhou Jingfang, one of the orphans the Zhou’s adopted. He wasn’t talented and had always been lagging behind his peers in cultivation. However, his strong determination helped him break through to the spirit realm successfully when he was forty. Now, he worked as a helper in the Zhou family.

Upon hearing Fu Mingxi’s request, Zhou Jingfang dared not say no. The next day, he went to get a badge from courtyard leader Qi, and along with his miss, they both came secretly a few days before Lu Mingshu.

After setting up the trap, the both of them waited for a few days, but Lu Mingshu was nowhere to be seen.

But to her surprise, Lu Mingshu didn’t look for the earth spirits like how others did, but she instead brought along a……bronze man? The bronze man started to catch the earth spirits rapidly without needing to search.

“What on earth is this?” Fu Mingxi was speechless as she watched. “How does it know where the spirits are?”

Next to her, Zhou Jingfang was in shock too. He hadn’t heard or seen anything like this in his entire life.

As the number of earth spirits in the sack increased, Fu Mingxi started to get more agitated.

She had been jealous of Lu Mingshu’s mount ever since she saw little daze. ~Why is this bitch always so lucky?~ She managed to get a snow wing treading horse as a mount just because she found its foe during the spring hunt. And yet, it looked absolutely nothing like one back then! If someone knew earlier, they would’ve surely taken it away from her! But who dared to snatch an elder’s mount now? ~Even the sect leader doesn’t dare~

The thought of the sect leader made Fu Mingxi fume in anger. ~Only over my dead body will daddy take her mount just for me! He even slapped me because this bitch broke through and can now make him look good! I’ll destroy her today; let’s see if she still dares to be arrogant!~

~I’ll take away everything she owns as revenge for her ruining my life! I heard mother telling stewardess Tao that it’s almost impossible for her to break through at such a young age unless she has some special items as help! Along with the snow wing treading horse, I’ll take them as soon as my plan succeeds! Oh yeah, and the bronze thing that can find earth spirits in no time! Earth spirits aren’t easy to find, and if this thing can find them easily, it’s a good item to take as well.~

~This bitch, why is she always so lucky?~ the more Fu Mingxi thought about it, the angrier she was. She clenched her fist so hard that her nails dug into her palm, leaving a mark. ~ I’m going to ruin her!~

“Is it all prepared well? Are you sure it will succeed?”

“Of course.” Zhou Jingfang nodded. “I did as what miss requested.”

“Okay, then get ready to take action.”

“Yes!”

Unaware of the approaching danger, little Boo continued to look for more earth spirits, only stopping when it couldn’t sense anymore.

“Ka! That’s all I found, master.”

The sack was filled to the brim, and due to the earth spirits wriggling vigorously, it looked like a man was in the bag.

“Okay, take a break.”

“Yes, master.”

Lu Mingshu bent down to check on the earth spirits. She took out the baby earth spirit and threw them on the ground.

The baby spirits that were thrown out scrambled away, and in no time, they were nowhere to be seen.

After the baby spirits, Lu Mingshu started to pick out the weaker ones and the unhealthy ones and freed them.

In no time, there were only four earth spirits left in the sack.

Among the four, there was one 5 times the size of a regular spirit, and the other three were about twice the size of an ordinary spirit.

Little Boo’s eyes blinked as it saw the large earth spirit. “Congratulations, master. This earth spirit is about three hundred years old.”

Lu Mingshu’s eyes widened in shock as she turned to look at it. “You can tell their age?”

“Of course!” Little Boo replied proudly. “My previous master made me to assist him in herb collection, so this is an essential feature!”

“Than what about these three? How old are they?”

“About two hundred years.”

Lu Mingshu nodded. “Help me keep a lookout.”

“Alright.”

Lu Mingshu picked up the three earth spirits in the sack and sat down. After leveling up, she earned a storage space in the heavenly wheel. She placed them inside the heavenly wheel and exited the space.

“Okay.” Lu Mingshu placed the last one in her pocket and stood up. “Let’s go.”

~No matter how powerful the beast is, it shouldn’t be able to sense what I have inside the heavenly wheel.~

“Yo! “little Boo jumped on little daze. “Let’s go!”

As the trio was about to exit, Lu Mingshu heard rapid footsteps from behind her. She turned around abruptly to check what it was.

To her surprise, it was a miniature spiked pig dashing towards her.

The miniature spiked pig was only about the size of a rabbit and had agile movements. Other than its extreme speed and the spikes on its body, there was nothing special about the miniature spiked pig. It couldn’t threaten danger anything.

Seeing the miniature spiked pig about to rim into her, Lu Mingshu launched an attack, sending it flying backward.

The miniature spiked pig landed on the floor with a loud thud due to the attack. Blood splashed everywhere and the small spiked pig laid on the floor, motionless.

Little daze trotted over to have a taste. However, its spikes kept poking little daze who looked at it in disgust and left.

Lu Mingshu scrunched her nose in disgust at the smell of blood which was all over her. She turned around, getting ready to leave, but she suddenly saw an assimilation realm beast coming towards her.
