Watching Tang Bao'er's cheerful demeanor, Lin Chen felt very pleased too.

These people from the Five Poisons Sect are disgusting, to have tormented such a sweet and kind girl like this.

"By the way, I still don't know your name," Tang Bao'er, smiling as she petted the little rabbit, asked.

"My name is Lin Chen, hehe, I'm very happy to meet you," Lin Chen responded with a grin.

"I'm Tang Bao'er, from now on you can call me Bao'er. You are my young master, and wherever you go, Bao'er will follow," Tang Bao'er said earnestly.

"Master?" Lin Chen was taken aback for a moment.

"Let's not," Lin Chen said with an awkward smile.

"Master, don't you like Bao'er?" Tang Bao'er looked at Lin Chen with a pitiful expression.

"No, that's not what I mean. I meant that it would be nice for us to be friends; you don't have to call me master," Lin Chen explained with a smile.

"I don't care, you are the one who gave me a new life, you are my master. I want to stay by your side, and I'll beat up anyone who bullies you. If you don't like Bao'er, just lift the seal and let me fend for myself in the forest," Tang Bao'er stubbornly said.

"Alright, alright, have it your way," Lin Chen said helplessly.

Hearing Lin Chen agree, Tang Bao'er finally brightened up: "Master, what are you doing in the jungle?"

Lin Chen sighed, "Originally, I wanted to find the Spirit Grass for making Five Spirits Liquid, but it seems it's not as simple as I thought."

"The Spirit Grass for Five Spirits Liquid? I know of a valley filled with rare Spirit Grasses; it should have the herb you're talking about," Tang Bao'er said, blinking.

"Really? Do you remember the place? Take me there," Lin Chen said, his heart lifting with joy.

"Mhm!" Tang Bao'er nodded and they both sped toward the valley.

When they reached a rock face covered in green plants, Tang Bao'er, smiling, said, "The valley is right inside here; I hid here a couple of days ago while escaping an assassination."

"Here?" Lin Chen paused. The whole forest was covered with lush trees; there was no visible entrance.

Tang Bao'er's body deftly twisted among the vines, and after a few quick movements, she disappeared from sight.

"So there's a path behind these vines!" Lin Chen joyously realized, following as he climbed the vines.

Sure enough, through the gaps in the vines, there was a winding cave.

"Stay close to me," Tang Bao'er said as she started walking forward.

The cave was very long with many side passages; one wrong turn would easily lead to getting lost.

Following Tang Bao'er for about an hour, finally, a light appeared ahead.

Lin Chen followed Tang Bao'er out of the cave entrance, and the view suddenly opened up.

"Wow, such a beautiful valley," Lin Chen took a deep breath of the cool air, his spirits lifting significantly.

"How did you find this place?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

Tang Bao'er smiled proudly, "I have a Five Poison body, extremely sensitive to the scent of medicine. I followed the scent of the herbs here."

"I see."

Lin Chen scanned the valley, which was filled with a thick Spiritual Energy. It was undoubtedly a paradise for cultivation, but what shocked him even more were the herbs in the valley.

Wow, here are Wood Spirit Grass, Water Spirit Flowers, Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng. This place is simply a natural treasure trove of Spiritual Medicine, and all these herbs are extremely precious.

"Bao'er, I absolutely adore you," Lin Chen exclaimed, nearly delirious as he looked at the treasures scattered all around.

Don't mention ten billion; Lin Chen could easily earn a hundred billion.

Lin Chen dived into the valley and began frantically gathering herbs.

Tang Bao'er followed by Lin Chen's side, acting as his assistant.

"Bao'er, look, it's this shape of herb; help me gather more," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Yes!" Tang Bao'er nodded.

Tang Bao'er made a small basket out of vines, rolled up her sleeves, tied her hair back with a green ribbon, and looked just like a little village girl working in the fields, helping Lin Chen gather herbs.

The two of them busied themselves in the valley all day, not only collecting enough herbs for producing the Five Spirits Liquid but also gathering plenty more for other medicines.

The Spiritual Medicines made from these herbs could definitely cause a sensation if released on the market.

In the evening, as the sun slowly set, Bao'er poured a basket of herbs in front of Lin Chen and wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead, "You must be hungry; I'll make dinner."

Lin Chen nodded, sorting the herbs while watching the busy Tang Bao'er.

Tang Bao'er first gathered some ingredients and then dug a stove on the ground to start a fire.

Watching Bao'er humming a tune while busily cooking, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh.

If she hadn't been chosen as the Saintess of Five Poisons, she definitely would have made a virtuous little wife. Unfortunately, fate made her a weapon for those driven by greed and desire.

It must be said, the meal Tang Bao'er cooked was really delicious, even though it was just some roasted plants, but it tasted great in both flavor and aroma.

"Haha, whoever marries Bao'er in the future is really lucky," Lin Chen said, smiling.

Tang Bao'er flashed a smile, "Bao'er won't marry anyone; I'll just follow my master."

Lin Chen helplessly shook his head, "Bao'er, you're so lovely; you'll definitely meet someone who loves you."

Tang Bao'er blinked her big eyes, smiled without saying a word, but a ripple appeared in her heart, "The person I love? Maybe I've already met him."

The valley night was cool; looking at Bao'er who had worked hard all day and now slept soundly, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel affection.

Imagining how she had been living on edge from being hunted these days, she probably hadn't had a good night's sleep, which is why she was sleeping so soundly now.

After covering Tang Bao'er with a piece of clothing, Lin Chen entered a state of meditation for cultivation.

Lin Chen's mind sank into his body, but he found something amiss in his Qi Sea; he saw the fire attribute energy surrounding it, swarming toward the huge egg suspended above the Qi Sea.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a loud noise, the golden egg cracked and the whole Qi Sea instantly became a whirlpool of heat waves.

The red and purple flames instantly fused together, with the Purple Flame Golden Fire churning and rolling in the fire sea.

"This is Purple Flame Golden Fire; you're quite lucky. The fusion of the heart of flames grants you such an opportunity," the system said.

Lin Chen could feel that the power of the Purple Flame Golden Fire was vastly superior to the flames he used before; it was clear that Lin Chen's combat ability had significantly advanced a level.

Just then, Lin Chen felt a soft presence invading his body, as if someone was hugging him.

Opening his eyes, Lin Chen was taken aback.

All he saw were his own clothes, which had already turned to ash, and Tang Bao'er, who was also without a thread on her, tightly embracing him.

"Uh! Tang Bao'er, I'm alright now," Lin Chen said somewhat awkwardly.

He knew that during the outburst of the Purple Flame Golden Fire, his body must have been engulfed in flames, which was why Tang Bao'er was hugging him so tightly.

"You're awake." Seeing Lin Chen wake up, a radiant, blushing smile appeared on Tang Bao'er's face.
