Apart from the tall trees, the many small plants that grew profusely caused the three of them to have a bit of difficulty finding their way.

But Bai Shen who walked in front seemed to have determined his direction, and walked on without stopping.

Jian Chen was slightly suspicious, and asked, “Bai Shen, is this not your first time coming here?”

While walking, and without looking back, Bai Shen casually replied, “Silver Grass only grows once a year. The first time I harvested it, I went with my Master.”

"Teacher? Do you have a teacher?"

Bai Shen didn't answer, and continued on his way.

Not getting an answer, Jian Chen also did not continue to ask. The purpose of asking is to confirm, does Bai Shen know the way?

Since her answered that her had come here with her teacher, that already answered his question.

For who it was the teacher, Jian Chen didn't really care, and preferred to look at Su Mei beside him, who had rarely spoken since the beginning of entering the forest.

"Su Mei, are you okay?"

Su Mei turned to Jian Chen and smiled, “I'm fine, it's just, it seems that I haven't been comfortable since entering this forest.”

"Why? What's wrong?"

Su Mein shook her head, hesitating slightly before replying, "I'm not sure. It's just like something is always bothering me."

"This forest is indeed not an ordinary forest. There are many strange things and dangers that are always lurking. If you are not careful, you might get into trouble soon." Bai Shen who heard their conversation explained from the front.

After Bai Shen finished explaining, Jian Chen who was behind suddenly frowned, and immediately stopped Bai Shen's steps.

Being stopped by Jian Chen suddenly, Bai Shen glared at him and said, “What are you doing? Your actions just now almost made me want to punch you!”

After stopping Bai Shen, Jian Chen didn't care about the look on his face or his chatter.

He only lowered his head slightly, looking at a green vine, which was obscured by other plants with a careful glance.

"Brother Chen, what happened?" Seeing Jian Chen's sudden action, Su Mei felt curious and asked.

When he heard Su Mei's question, Jian Chen pointed his finger at the plant, and said, “Look at this.”

Su Mei looked at the plant that Jian Chen pointed at, and found it was just an ordinary vine.

Actually there is nothing strange besides that the plant has no leaves. it's the same as vines in general.

"Isn't that just ordinary vines." Su Mei replied.

Jian Chen shook his head, “This plant does look ordinary, but it isn't that ordinary.”

After saying, Jian Chen took a piece of cloth from his body, and touched it with the cloth.

When touched by something, the three of them finally noticed something strange.

The stems of the vines that were originally green suddenly turned red. After changing color, there were also tiny spikes appearing where Jian Chen touched.

"Brother Chen, what kind of plant is it? How can it change color, and give off thorns?"

Jian Chen who had picked up some of the plants stood up, showing the plants which were now a bit dry to Su Mei as well as Bai Shen.

"I forgot the name. But from what I read before, this plant has poison in its body."

"Is it dangerous?" Su Mei asked.

“If it's called dangerous to humans, it's actually not that much,” Jian Chen replied before continuing, “This color change is an alarm to anyone who touches it.”

"There's nothing to the change in color, but it's these little spikes that are dangerousit contains a poison that you can't possibly want."

"What kind of poison is that?" Su Mei, who knew nothing about these plants, was curious, and kept asking.

"If you touch these thorns, you will experience a burning sensation, and an intense itch."

"Even though you're in Qi Training, the poison will continue to work and make you burn as hot as a fire. Plus the itchiness that won't go away for two days and two nights, I don't think your skin will stay intact."

"Moreover, this poison can only be cured if you ask for help from a Ling Qi practitioner."

“Disgusting..” Su Mei immediately shuddered after hearing Jian Chen's explanation.

Feeling the feeling of heat alone is uncomfortable, let alone added to the feeling of itching for two days and two nights. Thinking of if that happened to himself, where her would always be scratching herself body, it couldn't help but frighten him.

In contrast to Su Mei who completely believed Jian Chen's words, Bai Shen from earlier only gave Jian Chen a disdainful look and snorted coldly. It was obvious that she couldn't believe what Jian Chen had said.

Jian Chen only smiled when he saw Bai Shen like he didn't believe it.

Then with a playful smile, he pointed the plant at Bai Shen, and said, "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself."

"At first touch, maybe you won't feel anything, but after the poison has spread throughout the body, I'm afraid you will destroy that beauty with your little hands."

Bai Shen still gave Jian Chen a disdainful look. But her did not touch it, and only sneered.

"Don't act like you know everything. I know more than you, moreover I've also studied medicine and herbs for many years. You might be able to fool others, but you can't fool me!"

Regarding Su Mei's sneer, Jian Chen didn't speak, and only passed the piece of plant in his hand towards Bai Shen.

In front of him, Bai Shen continued to look at Jian Chen with disdain for quite some time. But clearly, she never intended to take it, let alone try it himself.

"Humph!"

In the end, Bai Shen only gave a cold snort, and walked towards his original goal. However, as she walked, he circled the vines that were on the ground. Even though the woman didn't believe Jian Chen's words, it seemed that she didn't want to take the risk.

Seeing Bai Shen like this, Jian Chen just smiled and didn't say anything.

While Su Mei who was by his side turned towards him, and said, “Brother Chen, I believe what you said.”

"That's how it should be." said Jian Chen with a smile and dropped the plant back where it came from.

Perhaps Bai Shen didn't completely believe his words, but Jian Chen was telling the truth.

This plant, it was indeed in the book that Jian Chen studied in the library a while ago.

On their way, Jian Chen also came across many more similar plants.

Just like before, Jian Chen would take it and explain to Su Mei, regardless of whether Bai Shen believed it or not.

What this Jian Chen was doing wasn't just to impart knowledge to Su Mei, but he had other plans.
