Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

And Ning Qi continued with Xu Qingqiu, walking deeper into the dense forest.

"Watch out for their spikes! These should be their hidden weapons used for hunting!"

Xu Qingqiu saw some spikes growing from the Cannibal Trees and warned Ning Qi.

"Alright!"

Ning Qi nodded and continued walking forward.

Soon, they reached the densest part of the forest.

There were many passages here that could only fit one person through.

But for Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu, it was completely impossible to pass through here.

"Indeed, there’s a problem. If you don’t know, you could easily scratch yourself."

"Once these Cannibal Trees awaken here, we can only wait for death."

Ning Qi glanced around and then looked at the Nine-tailed Cat: "However, they didn’t expect we would have a Nine-tailed Cat."

"Yes, but we can’t shrink ourselves!"

Xu Qingqiu sighed: "Looks like we can only go out."

"I have something that can shrink us and let the Nine-tailed Cat take us out."

Ning Qi spoke and took out his Alchemy Furnace.

"This? Can it fit us?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at him taking out the Alchemy Furnace, showing a look of doubt.

"Yes, come on!"

Ning Qi smiled, then beckoned, placing the Alchemy Furnace directly on the ground.

"Phew!"

With a direct beckon, they transformed into a stream of light and entered the Alchemy Furnace.

Xu Qingqiu followed suit, rushing towards the Alchemy Furnace.

"Phew!"

Soon, both were inside the Alchemy Furnace.

Then the Alchemy Furnace visibly shrank to the size of a palm.

Yet inside the Alchemy Furnace, Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu remained their original size.

"What is going on?"

Xu Qingqiu saw the Alchemy Furnace had clearly shrunk, and the previously thin Cannibal Trees suddenly became thicker.

Clearly, it was the shrinking of their Alchemy Furnace causing this visual effect.

"We’re in the space of the Alchemy Furnace."

"Although we appear smaller, we’re actually still the same size."

"But my Alchemy Furnace has already shrunk to the size of a palm!"

Ning Qi waved his hand, and the Alchemy Furnace rose from the ground.

Moving to the Nine-tailed Cat.

"Nine-tailed Cat, it’s up to you now."

Xu Qingqiu urged her Nine-tailed Cat.

"Alright, leave it to me. Sit tight!"

The Nine-tailed Cat agreed, then started running wildly.

Its speed remained unaffected even amidst the poison-dart filled forest.

The poison darts initially didn’t react at all.

But as the Nine-tailed Cat traversed, the darts gradually started to react.

"Whoosh!"

"Swish!"

Soon, countless poison darts shot at the Nine-tailed Cat.

"Damn it, these Cannibal Trees let us in on purpose!"

Xu Qingqiu had a look of seriousness in her beautiful eyes: "Deliberately luring us here, leaving us with no way out."

"I should be able to dodge them."

The Nine-tailed Cat continued dodging wildly.

"What should we do? This won’t work, they’re deliberately sealing our exit!"

The Medicine Spirit, also on the Nine-tailed Cat’s back, said repeatedly: "It’s over, we’ve been outsmarted by the trees."

"Hmph, not necessarily, what do trees fear?"

Ning Qi sat in the Alchemy Furnace, looking at the poison darts attacking them.

"Trees? Fear... fire?"

Xu Qingqiu pondered and looked at Ning Qi: "But these are Cannibal Trees, not ordinary ones."

"And if we set fire, we don’t have a source of fire!"

"My master possesses the Fire Origin!"

The Medicine Spirit’s eyes suddenly brightened, and it said proudly: "Others can’t do it, but my master can!"

"Huh? You have the Fire Origin?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi in disbelief after hearing the Medicine Spirit.

"Come on, since they’re seeking death, I won’t hold back!"

"Today, I’ll start a fire and burn them all down!"

Ning Qi said, spreading his hands and activating the Crimson Flame Immortal Technique within him.

Immediately, dazzling white flames started to gather on his palms.

"Phew!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and pushed his hands towards the Cannibal Trees.

"Boom!"

In an instant, endless Blazing Flames began to engulf the Cannibal Trees outside.

"Sizzle!"

"Crash!"

In the blink of an eye, the imperious Cannibal Trees began to crackle and burn.

Leaves withered visibly.

Trunks ignited fiercely.

This wasn’t ordinary red flames but white flames.

Even the air it touched would ignite, making the Cannibal Trees defenseless.

Without exception, these Cannibal Trees were all burned to the point where they had nowhere to hide.

"The liquid from these trees is human blood!"

As the Medicine Spirit watched the Cannibal Trees burn, it clapped excitedly: "Serves them right, this is their curse."

"Let’s go; my Blazing Flames won’t harm us!"

Ning Qi reminded the Nine-tailed Cat to continue forward.

"Alright!"

The Nine-tailed Cat agreed and kept running.

On the way, the burning Cannibal Trees were everywhere. Some Cannibal Trees even avoided Ning Qi’s group as they passed.

Evidently, they knew very well not to provoke Ning Qi’s group.

They also clearly understood that the fire was set by Ning Qi’s group.

After about half a stick of incense’s time, Ning Qi’s group finally left the Cannibal Tree area.

The Nine-tailed Cat then stopped, panting heavily on a large rock.

Ning Qi then manipulated his Alchemy Furnace to dismount from the Nine-tailed Cat.

Once it landed, it returned to its original form.

Thus, Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu emerged again.

"Extinguish!"

Ning Qi waved his hand, and his Blazing Flames extinguished instantly!

In merely a moment, the fierce flames in front vanished abruptly.

If not for the charred remains of the Cannibal Trees ahead, no one would know what had just transpired.

"Why did you extinguish them; burn them to ashes!"

Xu Qingqiu looked at the harmful Cannibal Trees ahead, confusedly watching Ning Qi.

"Burn them now, and when the hill brings people, who will stop them?"

Ning Qi smiled and then loudly said to the Cannibal Trees: "Stop the outsiders, and I’ll spare your lives."

"Otherwise, I’ll burn you completely, roots and all."

"Crash!"

"Swish!"

After his words, the leaves of the remaining Cannibal Trees started rustling.

Clearly, they were responding to Ning Qi’s words.

"Fine, you can harm people; that’s your nature."

"One person as food, but when you see us, give us the right of way."

"Otherwise, I’ll burn you all the same!"

Ning Qi nodded in satisfaction, speaking solemnly.

"Rustle..."

This time, the Cannibal Trees responded again.

"Hmph! Consider yourselves smart!"

The Medicine Spirit looked angrily at the Cannibal Trees, then turned and went to the Nine-tailed Cat.

At this moment, the Nine-tailed Cat had also caught its breath.

Having just escaped with all its might had indeed cost it quite a bit.

"Let’s go. Let’s go inside and see what’s there!"

Ning Qi finally came to and looked towards the road ahead.

After reaching here, the road ahead had become flat.

However, many bones could still be seen along the way.

But compared to earlier, there were much fewer bones ahead.

"Let’s go!"

Xu Qingqiu also came along, her gaze fixed on Ning Qi.

With increasing curiosity about this newly acquainted person.

Every time they reached a pivotal moment, he always had a way out.

Moreover, he remained calm when encountering trouble, always able to quickly think of a solution.

"Why, is there a flower on my face?"

Ning Qi noticed her watching him and smiled.

"No! Let’s go!"

Xu Qingqiu’s face turned red, then she proactively walked forward.

The Nine-tailed Cat glanced at Ning Qi, then followed its master forward.

"Master, do you think Miss Xu likes you?"

The Medicine Spirit sneaked over and asked stealthily.
