The woman was a little touched and said, "Young man, you don't have to risk yourself for me. Actually, I can still fight them."
Mo Qi's lips curled slightly, "Don't flatter yourself. It's not for you."
Zhu Yan was unusually excited in the box, "Is it for me? But you have to think clearly, if he pokes you to death, I will occupy your physical body."
Mo Qi rolled his eyes, "Whatever you say."
Then, Xiao An extended a finger and poked towards Mo Qi.
It was just a finger, but in Mo Qi's eyes, it was like a world crashing towards him.
The entire world was trembling slightly.
He regretted it a little. It seemed he had been too confident just now. This was simply courting death!
However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot. He had no way back.
He stood there motionless. To others, he looked like he was frozen with fear.
Zhu Yan kept reminding him, "He's coming, he's coming, he's killing his way over."
Mo Qi remained motionless. A smile appeared on Xiao An's face, "For an ant like you, I don't even need to make a move. With just a thought, I can make you turn into dust. I think highly of you, so I'm making a move to kill you."
At this moment, Mo Qi took out the Heaven Burning Stone from his storage bag and blew on the holes. "Buzz!" A low sound echoed.
It was like the low growl of a demon from the depths of hell.
Xiao Tie, Xiao An, Xiao Tong, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Bai all stiffened, then fell to the ground, rolling and in great pain.
Mo Qi reached up and wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead. It was a close call. Fortunately, his judgment was accurate, otherwise, he would have turned into dust by now.
His judgment was that the root cause of these tree spirits' illness was that they were infested with parasites, much like humans being cursed.
These parasites had been gnawing at their souls, causing them to age and suffer greatly. This was also one of the reasons they wished to die.
The profound sound Mo Qi had just made was deliberately meant to stimulate the parasites within them. Stimulated, they became restless and began to torment their hosts.
Having achieved his goal, Mo Qi put away the Heaven Burning Stone and smiled, quietly watching the five people on the ground.
A moment later, the pain in their bodies disappeared. They scrambled to their feet, looking at Mo Qi with embarrassment or anger.
Mo Qi looked at Xiao An and asked, "Do you submit?"
Xiao An snorted coldly and prepared to leave by cloud.
Mo Qi immediately shouted, "I can help you cure your illness."
All five were overjoyed, "You can cure our illness?"
Among the five, Xiao Tie was the least skeptical, but he still had some doubts.
After all, in all the worlds, their condition was very common. Everyone considered it a natural trend, and no one had ever thought of treating it.
Mo Qi nodded, "Of course. However, if you want me to treat you, I have one condition."
"What condition?" Xiao Tie vaguely guessed what Mo Qi would say, but he still asked knowingly.
"Let this girl leave," Mo Qi said, pointing to Chan'er behind him.
Xiao An had no objections. After exchanging glances, the others agreed to let her go.
If he could cure their illness, why would they continue to suffer?
So Mo Qi took out a pill and handed it to Xiao Tie, "Eat it."
"What? This is poison! You want to poison us?" Xiao Tie's face turned green.
The others immediately glared at Mo Qi with venomous eyes.
Mo Qi's expression remained unchanged, "You have good eyes. It is indeed poison, but this poison is a bit different from the one you took last time. I made it specifically to torment people. It won't kill you, but it can kill the worms. After you eat it... just bear with it."
Xiao An and the others were skeptical, but Xiao Tie believed him. He took the pill and ate it.
This was because Mo Qi's eyes were exceptionally clear at that moment, not like someone who was lying.
With his eyes that had seen all the ways of the world, he saw the most genuine Mo Qi.
A moment later, his abdomen began to ache.
He fell to the ground, rolling and in great pain.
Seeing him in that state, Xiao An and the others were convinced that Mo Qi wanted to poison them. Instead of taking the pills Mo Qi offered, they prepared to attack and kill him.
At this moment, Chan'er stepped forward to shield Mo Qi.
Mo Qi said, "Wait a moment. If you think I'm trying to kill him, then wait until he dies, and then you can kill me."
"Are you trying to stall for time?" Xiao An said angrily.
"What time am I stalling for? Do I need to? If I wanted to deal with you, I would only need to blow on the Heaven Burning Stone. Would I need to go through all this trouble?"
That was true. Xiao An and the others calmed down and focused their attention on Xiao Tie.
A moment later, Xiao Tie's abdominal pain stopped, and he stood up.
Everyone was stunned!
At this moment, Xiao Tie stood straight, the wrinkles on his face had disappeared, he looked much younger, and even his hair had turned black.
Seeing them looking at him like he was a monster, Xiao Tie felt a little embarrassed, "What's wrong?"
Xiao An handed him a bronze mirror, "Take a look yourself."
Xiao Tie took the mirror and looked at it, his eyes widening in astonishment, "This, this is really cured?"
Mo Qi shook his head, "This is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. You are tree spirits, and what's inside you are worm spirits. I only killed the worm spirits. To treat the root cause, we still need to kill the actual parasites in the real world. I don't know where they are hidden. If they are not killed, the worm spirits will continue to multiply."
Xiao Tie was not surprised at all and said, "This is already very good. At least it has relieved the current pain, and I am very satisfied. As for dealing with demons and ghosts, that is for you humans to handle."
"You mean the demons are parasites?" Mo Qi exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Tie looked at his surprised expression, "Otherwise? Is it you?"
"No."
Xiao An and the others also felt the effects were good and came forward to ask for medicine, which Mo Qi distributed one by one.
A moment later, they all became as young as Xiao Tie, and they were all overjoyed, praising Mo Qi profusely.
Then, Chan'er left, leaving reluctantly.
It was truly because Mo Qi had left an indelible impression on her heart.
But she knew very well that she and he would probably never cross paths again, and he would only become a memory in her heart.
This trip had been fruitful. She had met a prodigy and a fellow clansman who had fallen into this world!
More importantly, she had finally obtained the Star Fortune.
Thinking of this, she reached for the storage bag containing the Star Fortune Stone at her waist.
This search yielded nothing. She looked down and found that the storage bag had disappeared!
She immediately understood that Mo Qi had stolen the storage bag when he was helping her.
She knew why he had been so kind. It was for this purpose.
He was worse than a beast!
Chan'er was so angry that she almost spat blood. She immediately turned around and sped back towards the forest they had just come from.
At this moment, five figures rushed over and quickly surrounded her.
Xiao Tie said, "Please leave here. This place does not belong to you. We have given you what you wanted, so please don't push your luck, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Xiao An said impolitely, "Yes, get lost."
Chan'er was furious, but she knew she couldn't defeat the five of them. She didn't want to conflict with them unless absolutely necessary. So, she had to suppress her anger and said, "He stole my Star Fortune Stone, and I'm going to get it back from him."
The few of them exchanged glances, almost unable to suppress their laughter.
It was truly a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Xiao Tie coughed, "That's your business, it's none of our concern. Besides, he's already gone far away, and you won't find him. We don't allow you to wander around in this world."
Chan'er stamped her foot in anger, but in the end, she endured the humiliation and turned to leave.
Mo Qi continued on his way to the capital of the Orange Leaf Kingdom.
As he walked, he took out the Star Fortune Stone and looked at it, a smile uncontrollably appearing on his face.
"You've gone too far. I asked you to help, and you took advantage of the situation." Zhu Yan said.
Mo Qi spread his hands, "Didn't I help?"
"Then why did you take advantage of the situation?"
"Who says that was taking advantage of the situation? I saved her life. Shouldn't she pay a little something to thank me?"
"Perhaps, she would rather lose her life than have you steal her treasure."
"Then such people should be taught a lesson. How can they be so ungrateful and not know what's important? Life is not easy, how can one give up so easily?"
"..."
At this moment, Mo Qi felt continuous spiritual energy pouring into his body, like a never-ending river, rushing into the sea without hesitation.
"Such dense spiritual energy." Mo Qi greedily absorbed the spiritual energy, feeling an irresistible surge of power. He involuntarily descended to the ground and found a place to digest the spiritual energy and improve his cultivation.
Due to the dazzling light of the Star Fortune Stone, a nearby cultivator was attracted.
He was a rogue cultivator, Mo Lizhi!
He roamed between worlds, coming and going freely, acting capriciously, neither good nor evil. His only hobby was collecting magical treasures.
At this moment, the Star Fortune Stone emitted a dazzling light that shot straight into the sky, causing people nearby and far away to look up. Many people thought it was a great spectacle.
But Mo Lizhi realized that this must be some treasure appearing in the world.
So he headed in the direction of the light without hesitation.
Just as Mo Qi was concentrating on breaking through his cultivation, a figure suddenly appeared before him. The figure was plump, with a very round face. It was Chu Fen.
Chu Fen was surprised, "Why is it you?"
Mo Qi was also surprised. How could he encounter her everywhere?
She was here to collect treasures. What should he do?
Mo Qi was extremely nervous, but this was the critical moment of breaking through the bottleneck, and he couldn't stop.
Once he forcibly stopped, he might suffer from qi deviation.
He couldn't even speak. If he could speak, he might be able to persuade her with his eloquence.
Now, he could only rely on her mood.
Chu Fen hesitated for a moment and then smiled, "Little brother, you can't take all the good things."
"Oh? If you don't speak, silence means consent. Then I'll take it."
Saying that, Chu Fen slowly stepped forward, preparing to snatch the Star Fortune Stone from Mo Qi's hand.
She held the Star Fortune Stone with both hands and pulled. Mo Qi's body was pulled over, but he still held the Star Fortune Stone tightly and refused to let go.
His eyes shone with a pitiful look as he looked at Chu Fen.
Chu Fen's heart softened a little, and her mouth twitched, "Little brother, if a man doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. Don't blame me!"
Just as she was about to forcefully snatch the Star Fortune Stone, the light flickered, and another person appeared in the scene.
Who was it?
It was Mo Lizhi.
