Cultivation begins in the world of Pokémon

The entire lair of Thalud is firmly located in the towering crown of the Tree of Life. Among the many thick branches, many are hollowed out directly, like carefully carved natural caves.

Ning Qingqing followed the faint smell of wine and walked carefully into Salud's lair.

Soon, she came to a tree hole.

The area was filled with fragrance. The rich aroma of the wine seemed to have substance, and it was constantly coming out from the nearby tree holes.

Ning Qingqing walked slowly to the tree hole and looked inside curiously.

I saw that there was a different world inside the tree hole. The walls of the cave were covered with lush green vines, as if covering the cave with a layer of vibrant green.

And in the center of the tree hole, there grows a spiritual tree.

Compared with the trees outside, this spiritual tree is not very big, only about five meters high. The trunk and branches are luxuriant and lush. Crystal clear fruits hang on the branches like dazzling gems, and the whole tree hole is filled with rich and mellow wine aroma.

The bottom of the tree hole was filled with a golden liquid, and this strange tree was leisurely soaking in this wine pool.

There were various kinds of tree fruits scattered at the bottom of the wine pool. Ning Qingqing looked closely and saw orange fruits, black berries and other varieties. Of course, there were also fruits from the big tree in the middle.

Ning Qingqing originally wanted to find out what was going on, but when she found out that this was a place for brewing wine, she suddenly lost interest.

Just when Ning Qingqing was about to turn around and leave, she somehow wanted to taste the wine in the tree hole.

Ning Qingqing just gently hooked her finger, and a drop of golden and clear liquid flew out from the wine pool like a lively elf.

Ning Qingqing opened her cherry lips slightly and swallowed the drop of wine in one gulp.

In an instant, Ning Qingqing couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Of course it’s not because of how delicious the wine is.

But this wine actually has the miraculous effect of improving cultivation. After Ning Qingqing swallowed the drop of wine, the drop of wine quickly disappeared and turned into a stream of spiritual energy that flowed towards Ning Qingqing's dantian.

Of course, this is not the most critical point.

When it comes to improving one's cultivation, there are indeed many items in the elf world that can achieve this effect.

But now she has reached the Nascent Soul stage. At this stage, although there are treasures in the elf world that can help her improve her cultivation, their number is really small.

This seemingly ordinary wine actually has the effect of improving one's cultivation.

Ning Qingqing immediately took out a jade bottle spiritual weapon and mobilized the magic power in her body and injected it into the jade bottle.

I saw the jade bottle flying into the air, and instantly generated an extremely powerful suction force.

The wine in the wine pool instantly turned into a majestic water column and flew straight into the jade bottle.

Before long, there was not a drop of wine left in the tree hole.

Ning Qingqing did not hesitate too much. She took out her extremely sharp flying sword, dug out the spiritual tree in the wine pool cleanly and neatly, and put it into the jade box.

When Ning Qingqing walked out of the tree hole, she was shocked to find that many Salud had already returned.

However, the number that reaches above the tree canopy is relatively small.

Ning Qingqing went to several other tree holes without stopping and took away all the wine and spiritual trees in them. Just when she wanted to go to other areas to explore.

"Roar~~" Suddenly, an angry roar resounded through the sky.

Ning Qingqing hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw a Salud standing in front of the tree hole that Ning Qingqing had hollowed out before, making shrill cries at the top of its lungs, and it looked so angry, as if something had been lost.

Ning Qingqing's heart suddenly tightened. She knew that Salud had already noticed that an outsider had entered his lair.

Ning Qingqing didn't dare to stay any longer and resolutely rushed towards the area where the elf eggs were previously stored.

Along the way, we met many Saluds who were rushing to the scene of the incident.

Fortunately, Ning Qingqing was using invisibility skills and had a spiritual weapon that could conceal her breath.

A few Saluds passed by her, but they didn't find any trace of Ning Qingqing.

When she returned to the area where the elf eggs were stored.

I saw that the two powerful king-level elves were still guarding near the elf egg.

Even after hearing their companions calling them, they still had no intention of going to check.

When Ning Qingqing saw this, she knew that she would not be able to take these elf eggs away no matter what.

Of course, we can also send elves to defeat it and then collect the elf eggs, but we are now in the enemy's lair. If we do this, we probably won't be able to get out of Salud's lair.

Then, Ning Qingqing came to the outside world, slowly flew into the sky, and prepared to leave.

However, just at the critical moment when we were about to leave the tree canopy.

"Bang bang!" A deafening sonic boom was heard, and two snake-like whips were released from the hands of a Salud, attacking Ning Qingqing at lightning speed.

Ning Qingqing was horrified. Although she didn't understand why she was discovered, she immediately used a defensive magic weapon.

The magic weapon instantly turned into a shimmering aqua-blue shield, blocking her firmly in front of her.

There was a loud "bang" sound, like a landslide, the vine whip and the shield collided violently, the water blue shield shattered in an instant, the defensive magic weapon was directly hit back to its original shape by the powerful impact force and flew away, while the two fierce vine whips continued to attack Ning Qingqing.

Fortunately, the defensive magic weapon bought some precious time. Ning Qingqing quickly adjusted her body shape and tried her best to condense a defensive spell. The water-blue light curtain wrapped herself tightly.

Although the magic weapon blocked some of the powerful force, the two unstoppable vine whips easily shattered the water-blue light curtain and directly attacked Ning Qingqing's abdomen.

Ning Qingqing only felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

However, at this moment, the situation was urgent and she could not afford to hesitate for even a moment.

Now that she had been discovered, Ning Qingqing no longer tried to hide it. She endured the piercing pain, and used all her strength to mobilize the magic power in her body. In an instant, she turned into a blue light and flew away quickly.

When the leader, Salud, saw that he failed to take it down with one strike, he became so angry that he looked up at the sky and roared.

After Ning Qingqing flew a relatively safe distance, she saw the defensive magic weapon that had been knocked away before turned into a stream of light and flew directly back to Ning Qingqing's storage ring.

Seeing that no one was chasing him, he released Pidgeot from the Poké Ball.

Ning Qingqing came to Pidgeot's back and commanded Pidgeot to fly towards the direction of Red Lotus Sect. Then she took out a few pills with strong medicinal fragrance for recovering from injuries from the storage ring and quickly stuffed them into her mouth.
