Chapter 334: The Miraculous Effect of the Vine Leaf
Chapter 334: Chapter 334: The Miraculous Effect of the Vine Leaf
Su Qing was confident about her college entrance exam scores. After all, she had already graduated from university in her past life, and in this one, she was boosted by her superpower. The exam questions were a piece of cake for her. However, Su Qing didn’t particularly care which university she attended, so after the exams, she took a completely hands-off approach and left the task of submitting her college applications to Li Wan.
Meng Yanjing quickly said with a smile, "Why don’t you apply to Chuncheng University? Let me tell you, our school is great."
Su Qing smiled, pressing her lips together. "It depends on my cousin. She’s determined to go to the same school as me, so I’ll just follow her lead."
"Alright then." Meng Yanjing knew she couldn’t force the issue. She said, "I’ll give you my address then. When you find out which university you get into, you have to write and tell me. If I get a chance, I’ll come visit you at your school."
"Okay."
Meng Yanjing gave her address to Su Qing and urged her to leave the mountain soon, then reluctantly departed with her teachers.
After Meng Yanjing’s group left, Su Qing started walking toward the Ancient Forest. To her surprise, A Jin and the Black Bear Brothers refused to leave her side. In the end, Su Qing had no choice but to take the four big guys with her into the Ancient Forest.
She hadn’t been back in over half a year, but the scenery in the Ancient Forest was unchanged, and the Spiritual Energy was as abundant as ever. Not only did Su Qing love it, but the four big guys were extremely fond of it as well.
Su Qing spent about a week in the Ancient Forest. As expected, by relying on the dense Spiritual Energy, her Wood Ability’s superpower level rose to the Fifth Rank. The range of her Domain instantly expanded to a 2,000-meter radius, which was vastly larger than its range at the Fourth Rank. Su Qing was absolutely thrilled. Moreover, her ability to control plants from a distance became much more precise and fluid.
Not only that, but while her Bagua Pool didn’t get any larger, the green mist and gray mist inside grew much denser. The Vine Seeds floating in the green mist not only grew bigger, but a few golden patterns also appeared on them.
Curious, Su Qing took out one of the Vine Seeds and prompted it to grow. She watched as it sprouted a thick vine stalk, and leaves unfurled along its length. The veins of the leaves were actually golden.
"How beautiful!" Su Qing couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. She plucked a leaf from the vine to examine it more closely. Just as she reverted the vine back to its seed form and stored it in her Bagua Pool, a loud roar suddenly echoed from the distance. It was Da Hei, and he sounded like he was in great pain.
His roar was followed by the anxious calls of A Jin, Er Hei, and San Hei.
Su Qing was startled. She had been busy absorbing Spiritual Energy these past few days. Aside from feeding the four big guys at regular intervals, she had let them roam freely the rest of the time.
’Logically, with the four of them at their current strength, there shouldn’t be anything in the Ancient Forest that could threaten them. Could it be they’ve run into an enemy?’
Su Qing didn’t have time for other thoughts and immediately rushed in the direction of Da Hei and the others.
When she arrived, she found that Da Hei had been trying to get a hornet’s nest and had accidentally fallen from a tree. The trees in the Ancient Forest were much denser, taller, and straighter than elsewhere. Even though Da Hei was thick-skinned and tough, a fall from such a height would inevitably lead to injury.
Su Qing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She had thought the four of them had run into an enemy, but it turned out they were just risking their lives for a snack!
"AWOOOO!" Seeing Su Qing, Da Hei looked incredibly wronged. The pain in his leg made his eyes well up, and when he looked at Su Qing, his small eyes were glistening with tears.
Da Hei was the patient, after all, so Su Qing couldn’t bring herself to laugh out loud. She stepped forward and poked his forehead. "You’re really something else. Have I been skimping on your food? You feast on wild rabbit, pheasant, and boar every day, and you’re still greedy for a bit of honey."
As she spoke, Su Qing examined Da Hei’s leg. One look and—good grief, it was a fracture.
Su Qing’s green mist could heal injuries, but it was a process. For a fracture like Da Hei’s, the green mist could alleviate the pain, but it would take at least ten to fifteen days to heal completely.
Su Qing transferred some green mist to Da Hei. Just as she was about to take bandages, gauze, and a wooden plank from her storage space to set his broken leg, she remembered the leaf in her pocket.
’That Vine Seed was steeped in the green mist of the Bagua Pool and absorbed much of its essence. It must be effective against injuries and illnesses too.’
However, Su Qing had never tried using the vine for healing before. The leaf had been plucked from that very vine. Thinking of the golden veins on it, she decided to let Da Hei eat the leaf and see how much it would help his injury.
In any case, Su Qing was certain that even if the leaf wasn’t as effective as the green mist, it wouldn’t cause Da Hei any harm.
So, after setting Da Hei’s injured leg, Su Qing fed the leaf to him. Da Hei was very well-behaved; he ate whatever Su Qing gave him without any resistance.
Su Qing had been ready to leave the Ancient Forest after her superpower level reached the Fifth Rank, but with Da Hei’s injury, she could only postpone her departure for a few days and wait for him to get better.
Based on her initial assessment, Su Qing thought Da Hei’s injury would take at least ten days to heal. To her surprise, he was running through the forest again in less than five days.
That was miraculously fast!
Su Qing thought of the leaf she had fed Da Hei and was astonished. She never would have imagined the leaf’s effects would be so incredible!
’This is a true treasure!’
Forget anyone else—even Su Qing herself felt like she had stumbled upon a priceless treasure.
Su Qing led the four big guys out of the Ancient Forest and returned them to their territory. After promising to visit them again in the future, she finally left Da Hu Mountain under their reluctant gazes.
Su Qing did a quick calculation. Just taking the four big guys to the Ancient Forest and back had taken more than twenty days. Adding in her own travel time, her trip to Da Hu Mountain had lasted nearly a month.
’Oops. And I left Li Huan behind in Xiangcheng for a month!’
The thought made Su Qing feel a little guilty.
University was set to start in early September, and it was already late August. She had to hurry to Xiangcheng to pick up Li Huan. They would probably just barely make it in time for the start of the semester. She wondered if that girl, Li Huan, was already staring holes into the distance waiting for her.
Sure enough, the moment Su Qing appeared at the Cheng Family’s residence in Xiangcheng, Li Huan threw herself at her. "Qingqing, where did you go? I thought you were going to abandon me in Xiangcheng! I missed you so much, waaaah..."
Su Qing gave a guilty smile. "I had to take care of some things and got back a little late. We need to hurry back to Beijing. My aunt and the others must be worried sick."
