“50,000 experience points? The first-tier quest grants this much experience? No wonder they say that the Secret Realm is the fastest way to level up. Indeed, it’s just a bit more challenging.”

Looking at the system notification, Mo Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

At that moment, Mo Xiao noticed that Jiang He suddenly leaned in next to Tao Yaoyao and whispered something to her in a low voice.

Tao Yaoyao’s expression seemed to darken because of Jiang He’s words.

Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly but did not say anything.

He could guess that Jiang He must have informed Tao Yaoyao about their encounter with the Scarlet Demon Vine and its escape just now.

Otherwise, Tao Yaoyao’s expression wouldn’t be so grim.

After hearing Jiang He’s words, Tao Yaoyao said, “1 suddenly have something to discuss with my grandfather. Wait here for a moment, and I’ll bring you to see him later.”

“Sure, take your time.”

Mo Xiao did not say anything when he heard this, but stood quietly at the side and waited.

On the side, Jiang He was already prepared to be reprimanded by Mo Xiao, but she realized that Mo Xiao didn’t say a word.

Jiang He tilted her head in confusion and met Mo Xiao’s gaze. She immediately became flustered.

“Why… Why are you looking at me like that? I just told Yaoyao about what happened earlier!” Jiang He blurted out, her face turning red as she tried to stand her ground.

Seeing Jiang He’s reaction, Mo Xiao shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t say anything. I’ll tell them about it later myself.”

“Your expression! The words are written all over your face!! Aren’t you blaming me for being a busybody!!” Jiang He said angrily.

Hearing this, Mo Xiao shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t. I’ll tell them about this later.”

“Huh?” Jiang He was stunned, clearly not understanding Mo Xiao’s intention.

“Aren’t you the one who said… as long as you take care of yourself, it’s fine?’” Jiang He asked, a little angry.

“That’s right, everything 1 do is for myself,” Mo Xiao said lightly.

“You told them because of your saintly heart, to save the Wood Secret Realm.”

Mo Xiao said indifferently, “As for me, I want to increase the difficulty of the task and raise the experience rewards after completing the mission.

“I didn’t say it directly earlier to confirm the difficulty of the next task. If it’s too high, 1 wouldn’t mention it to avoid a total wipeout.”

H H

At a loss for words, Jiang He was completely baffled by Mo Xiao’s response. It was just the order of a few messages, yet Mo Xiao had thought so deeply about it.

She hadn’t even considered that possibility.

“So, it makes sense to eliminate the Holy Mother first in troubled times. Your compassionate heart might become the key reason for our total wipeout,” Mo Xiao said in a deep tone.

“Let me remind you again, restrain your useless kindness. If you really want to help others, there’s a giant Buddha in Leshan. You can make it come alive and sit on its shoulders.”

“???”

Just as Jiang He was feeling perplexed, Tao Yaoyao’s voice sounded once again, breaking the silence. “Jiang He! Mo Xiao! Come up here! My grandfather wants to see you!”

Hearing Tao Yaoyao’s call, Mo Xiao didn’t waste any more time with Jiang He. He directly followed the path and arrived in front of an extremely sturdy and towering tree.

There was a spiral staircase surrounding the tree, and Mo Xiao and Jiang He climbed up the stairs and entered the exquisitely crafted wooden house on top of the tree.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw an elderly figure standing before them.

This was an extremely old man with a face full of wrinkles. He had a pair of wise eyes, and his dark green hair hung gently behind him. In his hand, he held a wooden staff that resembled a dry branch.

“Hello, outsiders,” the old man greeted them with a kind smile.

“Elder, greetings,” Mo Xiao said respectfully upon seeing him.

[Wood Spirit Elder, Dark Gold Rank Boss]

Level: ???

Attributes: ???

Introduction: It seems to be the first wood spirit in the world. It has extremely powerful strength and might be the true owner of the Wood Mystic Realm.

“There’s no need to be so polite. Yaoyao has already told me everything that happened earlier. Thank you for your help, and 1 thank you on Yaoyao’s behalf.” Elder Wood Spirit bowed very sincerely to the two of them.

Mo Xiao immediately sidestepped the bow. It was a bad omen for an elder to bow to a junior like this; it might even shorten his lifespan.

“You are too kind. We are outsiders, and your matters are merely missions for us. We are like adventurers, just doing a trade,” Mo Xiao said indifferently.

When Elder Wood Spirit heard this, he looked at Mo Xiao with surprise and then chuckled, “Interesting human kid. Since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush and get straight to the point.

“We, the Wood Secret Realm, are indeed facing a problem. I discovered traces of an evil aura invading our Wood Secret Realm a long time ago,” Elder Wood Spirit said with a serious expression.

“Evil aura?”

Mo Xiao immediately became serious upon hearing this term.

Others might not know about this evil aura, but Mo Xiao did!

After all, he had a bunch of fragments of the evil aura in him.

“I don’t know where this evil aura comes from exactly. Although 1 wanted to investigate personally, 1 am the elder of the Wood Spirit clan and considered the core of the village. I cannot leave this place casually,” Elder Wood Spirit explained.

Hearing the Elder’s words, Mo Xiao initially thought he would talk more about the evil aura, but it seemed the Elder was going to issue a quest directly.

“Outsiders, could you trouble yourselves to investigate this strange evil aura for us?” Elder Wood Spirit asked.

“But…”

Jiang He was about to say something, but Mo Xiao interrupted her.

“May I ask, where should we investigate? We have already cleared the territory of the Wood Demon Flower, so there shouldn’t be any evil aura there, right?” Mo Xiao asked calmly.

“The Wood Demon Flower is just a part that has been infected by the evil aura. To the east of the Wood Secret Realm, there is a cave where the evil aura seems to have first appeared. Would you be willing to go and take a look?” Elder Wood Spirit inquired.

Mo Xiao furrowed his brows slightly. “A cave? What cave? Do you have any specific information?”

“I don’t know. That cave is a forbidden area for the Wood Spirit clan, and no one has ever been there. It is said that the other end of the cave leads to another world,” Elder Wood Spirit said calmly.

“Human, are you willing to explore it for us? If you are, we can offer you a generous reward!”

“Such as?” Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

“Hehe, I can only tell you when you return…” As Elder Wood Spirit spoke, his expression changed slightly and his gaze fell directly on Mo Xiao’s chest.

“This is… a divine beast jade?”
