July has passed and August has come too late.

This year's midsummer is much "weird" than in previous years.

In addition to the ever-lasting beautiful scenery within Fenghua Mountain, everyone can see that whether it is the Zhongzhou Continent or the Seven Kingdoms and One State, the earth is scorching under the scorching sun, emitting steam visible to the naked eye.

The "hissing" sound is always heard at noon, which is disturbing.

In the farmland, the cracked surface is like an indelible scar, and dry streams and springs can be seen everywhere.

This year, both mortals and cultivators can vaguely feel from such a harsh environment,

The days ahead will be increasingly difficult.

——

"Wow! It's so hot, so hot!"

Directly below the Jinghua Tianyu Cave, in the white desert, the figures of two beautiful girls were extremely clear in the endless dust.

"Hey, Maomao, didn't you use the body protection technique?"

On the edge of the obsidian abyss, the green-haired girl standing on the left looked helplessly at the listless sisters beside her, and asked with some confusion.

"However, you can feel the temperature of the outside world even if you activate the body protection technique! Don't you feel uncomfortable at all?"

However, he saw that the cat-eared girl on the right was surrounded by the glowing purple light, but the fine sweat on her forehead still exposed her weakness against heat.

Just listen to her weak voice:

"Oh, it would be great if Bai Xue was here... I want Bai Xue, I want to hug Bai Xue!"

"...The sneaky cat, if you continue to tolerate it, just wait a little! I will end it as soon as possible!"

…

The two girls are Mu Qing, who specially came here from the cave to perform a mission, and Xia Lianxing, who was forced to accompany her by the "good sisters".

Several days have passed since the master returned. Tonight is the day when all three generations of spirit envoys and the new fourth generation must attend the largest spirit envoy meeting in history.

Before that, in order to prepare for going out, Lu Lingqiu went to Mu Qing's cave to conduct "simple" training with her, and in the process revealed the subsequent tasks that were exclusive to her in advance, so that she could prepare accordingly.

.

The mission content is - "Find a way to erase the traces of Xiao Ling's holy magic".

To put it bluntly, it is to turn the desert into an oasis and bring the Tianshan Mountains back to life.

This is not difficult for Mu Qing, who is a Zhimu spirit body, but even so, she will not try randomly within the mission deadline without preparation.

No, for the sake of safety, the girl suppressed her excitement and specially dragged Xia Lianxing here, intending to explore the specific conditions of the mission area in advance so that she could formulate some targeted plans.

But this is a pain for Maomao who is busy studying knowledge...

I saw her pursed her little mouth with a reluctant look on her face, squatting with her arms around her knees at a point with the lowest relative temperature within a radius of one kilometer, and complained motionlessly:

"Weren't Cang Cang and Shiyin both in the hall just now? Why did you have to ask me to accompany you to suffer..."

"Hey~ Shiyin and I are not familiar with her. Besides, Cang Lan has to do so many things every day. It would be bad if I drag her out again! Don't you think so?"

Mu Qing, who was also under the protection of the body protection technique, touched the spiritual ring on his hand, took out a few strange-shaped green balls, and sprinkled them on the ground.

Watching her actions with boredom, Xia Lianxing curled her lips:

"But Asuka and Bai Xue are also in the room, why am I the only one who is caught by you...?"

At this time, Mu Qing stared at the position where the balls had just landed. While waiting intently, he skillfully said some nonsensical words:

"Because you are cute, kind-hearted, take care of my sisters, and are a very good person! Such a thrilling task, without you by my side, I can't even imagine how I would get through this important stage in my life..." "

"..."

"Ah! The world is dark without cats.

I know that these reasons alone cannot convince you, who is wise.

But if I can't carry out the task under your gaze, the inexperienced me will be nervous, make mistakes, and fail the task... I will be tied up, scolded, whipped, and imprisoned by the master..."

Xia Lianxing: "?"

"It would be okay if I just disappoint my master or suffer some physical pain, but as a good sister, you definitely don't want my life to become so gloomy. I know this.

So in order to prevent the master from inflicting violent torture on me, and in order to get me again in the future..."

"Okay, okay, where did you learn this?

Moreover, violent punishment and so on...are definitely the 'rewards' you want to get, right?!"

Xia Lianxing was already accustomed to Cha Qing's rhetorical routines.

The two girls have known each other for such a long time. Everyone knows the color of each other's heart after it is cut open. Even if they are praised by the sisters, they must not believe it easily, otherwise they will suffer a big loss.

——

Time passed by second by second. Under the scorching sun, the seeds Mu Qing sown did not have any reaction.

Seeing this situation, she had to stop teasing Maomao, and just frowned and said to herself:

"Hiss, it's strange...why can't even the 'Ghost Withered Vine' take root in this sand..."

"Ghost withered vine?"

"Um."

Hearing this, Xia Lianxing stood up with some concern and walked towards Mu Qing's direction.

She has read countless books, and although she is not particularly proficient in the compendium of herbal medicine, she still has some knowledge of some common woody and herbal plants.

As one of the indispensable materials for making poisons and poisons, Ghost Dry Vine is famous in the field of alchemy and medicine. The most impressive thing is its extremely special growth habit.

Whether it is in the wilderness or desert, on a cliff or a cliff, as long as there is a source of spiritual power, it can successfully sow seeds and start to grow.

The so-called "spiritual source" naturally refers to the "spiritual energy" that can be seen everywhere.

If there is spirit in the earth, flowers and plants will grow; if there is spirit in the sky, auspicious clouds will gather.

But now, under these layers of white sand, not even the tenacious ghost withered vines can survive. This means that the entire desert no longer has spiritual veins, and has completely lost the ability to regenerate spiritual energy.

"how so……"

Xia Lianxing, who bent down and used the "Spiritual Eye Technique" to detect the nearby surface, was also extremely shocked.

She clearly remembered that a few months ago, the distribution of spiritual energy in this place was still very obvious. Even if its intensity was not as strong as that of the fairyland-like Fenghua Mountain, compared with other places, it could still be regarded as a treasure of Feng Shui.

Nowadays, the disappearance of the "spiritual source", even if it has something to do with the "Holy Law of Ashes Sky Burial" of Senior Sha Ling, is by no means completely extinct.

The only explanation is that the earth vein spirit essence on Tiancang Continent is constantly dissipating at an extremely terrifying speed!

If left alone, I am afraid that within a few years, all beings in the entire world of immortality, whether demons or humans, no matter the righteous path or the evil path, will no longer have spiritual power to draw from, no spiritual veins to cultivate, and no spiritual treasures to

use……

And then, the bloody mouth of the Dharma-Ending Age will truly open towards all living beings in the sky.

——

"Oh my god, the master asked you to do this, does it mean... that he has noticed the changes in the earth?"

Xia Lianxing stood up, looked at Xiaolu who was about to use special means to continue trying, and asked.

"I don't know, but that night he mentioned... ahem..."

Since she was focusing all her energy on the next spell, Mu Qing's careless gaffe immediately attracted Maomao's attention:

"That night??"

"Ah, no, no, that... Cat, please step back, I'm going to start."

Xiao Lu mumbled a few words decisively, and then immediately raised his delicate hands to prepare to cast a spell. Although Xia Lianxing was confused, she could only take a few steps back and quietly stared at her sisters' backs thoughtfully.

Next breath.

"Springtime·Thousand-leaf flower."

suddenly--!!

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling black spiritual ring suddenly appeared around the girl!

Then, under her delicate and careful control, the ring was slowly placed at the location where the "Ghost Withered Vine" had just been planted.

And in a few breaths, it melted into the earth.

"Wow……!"

In the exclamation of the cat, it can be clearly seen that the originally pure white sand began to change color little by little due to the special spiritual energy!

In the fragrance of tea flowers, the white sand gradually turns into color.

The plant seeds that were originally buried in the ground gradually grew under this extremely pure wood spirit method.

The spellcasting continues.

It can be seen that Mu Qing is continuously pouring the spiritual power in his body into this land.

Although the "spiritual source" has disappeared, as long as the seeds can be sown through the existing spiritual energy in the body, this dead land will gradually improve from the "spiritual state" to the "spiritual state".
To be continued...
