Chen Ziyun said, “Well, three.”
Wang Xiao was surprised. “It’s been half a day, and you’ve only killed three! How?”
Chen Ziyun said, “We haven’t run into many Spirit Stone Worms. It hasn’t been our luckiest day.”
He glanced at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu was the one who had chosen this route. She wouldn’t follow the map and had insisted that she knew a place where they could find a lot of Spirit Stone Worms. They had been traveling along bumpy paths since then. What could he do, except follow her?
Wang Xiao said, “Ziyun, I don’t feel right winning like this. Why don’t you come to us? We’ve run into quite a few worms on our way.”
The eight of them only needed to kill 1,000 worms, but Chen Ziyun and Feng Wu had to kill five times that.
Chen Ziyun glanced at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu shook her head. “No!”
Chen Ziyun could only tell Wang Xiao, “Just carry on with your task. I’m sure Elder Wu has his reasons.”
Although he still couldn’t see what they were.
Chen Ziyun ended the call after that.
He looked at Feng Wu in resignation. “Do you really know where to find so many Level 8 Spirit Stone Worms?”
Chen Ziyun was a peak Level 9 Spiritual Lord and could fight several Level 8 worms all at once.
Feng Wu said, “Yes.”
Feng Wu nodded without hesitation, but Chen Ziyun didn’t believe her.
However, she was so well-connected that he had no choice but to protect her.
He found Feng Wu too arrogant and conceited, which wasn’t to his liking. Thus, he stopped chatting with her on the way.
He wasn’t alone. Other members of the team were also displeased with Feng Wu’s behavior.
Their journey became very quiet, but Feng Wu didn’t feel embarrassed.
She was focused on Little Phoenix.
Right now, the bird was showing off its knowledge. “I just remembered a place. I buried some spirit liquid there to ferment.”
Feng Wu asked, “What’s that? Why does it sound like you were brewing wine?”
“Yes! That’s exactly what I was doing! I was brewing spirit wine! Do you know how nourishing that is?”
Feng Wu said, “Do I need more nourishment?”
Little Phoenix said, “You’re a Spiritual King already, so of course, you don’t. It won’t work for you either. However, it’ll be quite useful for cultivators who haven’t reached the Spiritual King stage yet.”
Feng Wu asked, “Really?”
“Obviously, wine can enhance one’s body, but it can treat chronic diseases as well. Doesn’t your mother always get headaches? The liquid can treat them!
“Your friends have been making slow progress, and the liquid can help them, too.
“I’ll also need it. It’ll help me reach the Spiritual King stage! You’ve been making so many breakthroughs recently, but I haven’t! I need to pick up my pace!”
Little Phoenix saved that bit for last.
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up as she listened. When she heard the last bit, she asked, “This is all for your cultivation, isn’t it?”
“No, it’s not just for me! There’s the cub, too! It’s been working hard, but it still can’t catch up with you! With the liquid, it’ll rise to the Spiritual King stage, too!
“Wouldn’t it be great to have two Spiritual Kings as your bodyguards?”
