In the pine forest, Chen Xu glanced at the emerald green leaves in Wei Yuan's hand.

The entry brightly displayed: [Jade Needle Grass, when steamed or simmered with Rootless Water, can to some extent heal internal and external wounds of living beings, and is particularly effective for bleeding conditions.]

This is actually a healing herb!

So far, Chen Xu had obtained many types of Spiritual Materials, and he had seen all sorts of strange and unusual ones, but something purely for healing like the Jade Needle Grass was something he was seeing for the first time.

Chen Xu originally wanted to directly answer Wei Yuan's question, but the small hedgehog on the opposite side had a nervous, expectant expression with a hint of slyness, which suddenly made Chen Xu change his mind.

"This is the first time I've seen this item." Chen Xu showed a troubled expression, then sighed helplessly, "Mr. Wei, the things in the mountains are certainly knowledge you have more of than I do, I still need to consult you."

Wow, Mr. Chen actually wants to consult it?

Wei Yuan immediately puffed out his chest, and the soft hair on his head subconsciously stood up.

It held back its joy and excitement, quickly making its expression solemn, and humbly said, "I only grew up in the mountains and have seen a few more mountain goods.

When it comes to knowledge, I am definitely far less than Mr. Chen.

However, regarding matters in the mountains, if Mr. Chen has any questions, I will answer them exhaustively."

As it spoke, it couldn't contain its happiness and cheerfully handed the Jade Needle Grass in its hand to Chen Xu.

"Mr. Chen, this item is called Jade Needle Grass. You can brew it in water or chew it raw, it can heal injuries.

Quickly consume it, do not refuse medication.

My teacher says, 'A hundred-mile dyke can be destroyed by an ant mound, accumulating small things can become a serious illness, a person cannot ignore the small problems on their body.'

Over time, small problems might become big problems, and by then, it would be hard to treat."

This...

The small hedgehog truly had good intentions, and if Chen Xu refused, they would surely have to go back and forth about it.

So, Chen Xu took the Jade Needle Grass from the other's hand and responded, "Let me brew it when I get back."

This wasn't deceiving the small hedgehog.

After all, when he returned, he would indeed brew the Jade Needle Grass and then store it for unexpected needs.

If he genuinely got injured and it was hard to heal, and Innate Qi couldn't make him recover, he should definitely take medicine.

But Rootless Water is essentially rain from the heavens, and Chen Xu hadn't collected rainwater at the Fire and Smoke Kitchen, lacking this material.

He needs to wait for a rainfall to truly brew the Jade Needle Grass.

Chen Xu accepted the Jade Needle Grass and then flipped his hand, revealing a small Wine Gourd.

The gourd contained two taels of Flowing Clouds Spirit Wine.

Chen Xu thought of the drop of Demon Flowing Juice he had gotten from the small hedgehog and wanted to return it to him.

It's just that there had been so many issues recently, which kept Chen Xu from finding the right moment.

Now, with a person and a demon in the forest, far from the hustle and bustle of the world, the whole world seemed to become pure, and that drop of Demon Flowing Juice could finally be given away.

[Demon Flowing Juice: Drip it into Spirit Wine, and when consumed by the Demon Race, it has a certain chance to slightly enhance their spirituality, with increased comprehension abilities for a quarter of an hour.]

Chen Xu proceeded to drip the Demon Flowing Juice into the Wine Gourd and then handed it to Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan, stunned, asked, "Mr. Chen, are you inviting me to drink wine again?"

Chen Xu said, "At this moment, with the breeze brushing the pine waves, scattered leaves in the golden sunlight, the Celestial Light is just right, and the Mortal World is far away, is there not a perfect moment for us to share a drink?"

Saying this, another small gourd appeared in his hand.

Wei Yuan was instantly delighted, immediately hugging the small gourd given by Chen Xu.

This small gourd was only about four inches high, not even half a palm wide in Chen Xu's hand, yet being hugged by the small hedgehog, it appeared truly large.

But Wei Yuan, being a demon, was not lacking strength.

It held the large gourd in its small hands and boasted, "Sure, Mr. Chen, let's share a drink!"

Tipping its head back, the Spirit Wine gurgled down its throat.

Chen Xu also took a sip of Spirit Wine, while carefully observing the changes in the small hedgehog as it drank.

He realized that, although Wei Yuan's body was small, its appetite was clearly not small.

Drinking down two taels of Spirit Wine in one go, its belly showed no signs of swelling.

But once it drained the wine in one breath, its body suddenly swayed on the branch and its eyes quickly became dazed.

"Oh my!" The small hedgehog's soft spikes stood, and it swayed, saying, "How delightful the taste of this wine is! I feel like I've returned to Jiling Mountain and seen my teacher."

[Like +1000]

Wei Yuan, after drinking the Spirit Wine with the Demon Flowing Juice, directly gave a thousand likes!

Chen Xu was stunned.

He knew that giving out 1000 likes in one breath was at the level of a Great Scholar.

County Magistrate Feng could only give 500, and even when Wei Yuan consumed the Spiritual Food given by Chen Xu, it could only give at most 100 likes at a time.

Chen Xu immediately checked the Food Cauldron Celestial Book and then understood that Demon Flowing Juice was a rare top-grade Spiritual Object, and when the Demon Race consumed it and liked it, it could directly exceed the usual limits by many times.

1000 likes was indeed a significant gain.

Chen Xu's original intention was only to repay the small hedgehog, but he ended up being repaid as well, which is really a case of reaping what you sow.

He saw the little guy swaying on the pine branch, seeming like it might fall at any moment.

But it just didn't fall, it went back and forth, mumbling:

"Teacher, today I heard a story that was really troubling. How can there be such people in the world?

In our mountains, although animals might hunt one another, tigers don't eat little tigers and little tigers don't grow up to eat big tigers!

You asked me to read, to learn about people, but why do such people exist?

I know, I know you don't want me to learn from those people. You want me to be like you, or like Mr. Chen...

But I still feel so sad!"

The small hedgehog paused on the pine branch, swaying, lifting its head, its small eyes looking through the gaps in the pine branches.

It seemed to be watching the white clouds in the sky, the sunlight in the clouds or perhaps looking at the vastness beyond, the boundless unknown.

At some point, a glimmer had gathered in its eyes, hanging at the edge of its cheeks, about to fall, like Spirit Wine spilling from its eyes.

Chen Xu, who had been feeling a bit strained, couldn't help but soften, and he didn't say anything, just gently stroked the soft hair of the little hedgehog.

He also stroked its small back and wiped away the tears at the corner of its eyes.

Wei Yuan wobbled slightly, and finally, it couldn't stand anymore.

It plopped into Chen Xu's hand, then curled up and fell into a deep slumber.

Chen Xu couldn't help but chuckle and then felt a bit embarrassed.

Perhaps he shouldn't have given the small hedgehog two taels of wine since even though Demon Flowing Juice needs to merge with Spirit Wine to take effect, two taels were too much.

At most, one tael… no, at most half a tael should have been more than enough.

Holding the small hedgehog, Chen Xu walked slowly through the pine forest.

He began to examine the previously obtained [Hundred Evils Fruit].
