Time flew by, and Jiang Che and Nangong Luo walked for another two days.
They crossed mountains and rivers, arriving at the border of Su Province.
Under a giant birch tree.
Nangong Luo stood with bloodstained hands, exuding a fierce aura. Beside her lay a huge lynx in a pool of blood, its eyes lifeless, all signs of life gone.
However, the blood flowing around the corpse was still steaming, clearly indicating the beast had just died recently.
Not far from the lynx's body, on the massive roots of the birch tree protruding from the ground, three milk-white Reishi Mushrooms grew, as white as frost and snow, glowing with Spiritual Light, their fragrance intoxicating.
After dealing with the guardian beast, Nangong Luo quickly stepped up to the Reishi Mushrooms and devoured all three, each the size of a bowl, leaving behind only bare roots.
Afterward, she lay down on the spot, channeling her Cultivation Technique to absorb and refine the medicinal power of the Reishi Mushrooms.
