CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 348

So earlier, when the woman yanked the prison guard’s hair, the guard was indeed a bit shocked. However, the woman was merely using her life force as spiritual power. You see, that woman hadn’t been in the Heavenly Prison for long before she transformed from a favored, glamorous concubine into a withered, feeble old hag. Such is the consequence of using spiritual power in the prison!

The prison guard eyed Chen Muxue coldly. This person hasn’t realized the gravity of the situation yet, so she was still looking at the cell with interest. But over time, she will start to feel despair. The higher the cultivation of these cultivators, the more despair they will experience!

After observing the appearance of the cell, Chen Muxue began to feel curious about the way the lock operated.

No wonder she remarked that the guards here had low cultivation and wondered if they could really hold people in. It turns out it’s because of such a lock.

When the Emperor imprisons someone, surely there’s an expert escorting them until they enter the cell, right? The Fifth Prince is truly negligent; isn’t he afraid they’ll just escape like that? I fear those Hidden Guards in the Crown Prince’s palace also haven’t done this many times—maybe it’s their first time.

Thinking this, Chen Muxue decided to test the function of the lock and extended her hand to spray water...

Then she watched, eyes wide open, as the weeds stubbornly growing between the green stone brick cracks finally poked their heads out.

This... could the growth force be a tad bit too strong?

Previously, when surrounded by black qi, any water she’d produced would cause things to wither upon contact. Now, the black qi inexplicably turned to golden light, and suddenly gained super strength in growth? This was something Chen Muxue never anticipated.

Right, what was she attempting to do by spraying water?

Wasn’t it said that her cultivation would be sealed?

Chen Muxue, skeptical, locked her gaze on a shriveled apple core hidden in the corner, likely left by the cell’s former "tenant," as the cleaning staff overlooked it.

With a mindset of "no way this could work," Chen Muxue tentatively began watering the apple core.

The prison guard hadn’t taken many steps back when he heard Chen Muxue calling him. He smirked—already can’t handle it? Aren’t these supposed to be cultivators? Hah, must be too accustomed to being on top, can’t even bear a bit of suffering?

Confidently, he turned around, then suddenly a touch of green appeared in his eyes.

He couldn’t believe it—silently turned back, then looked again, and the green was still there.

The guard rubbed his eyes vigorously, widened them to look again—still there!

Who can tell him why, in this barren cell, does there suddenly a sapling appear?

The guard cast a suspicious look at Chen Muxue. Right, does she carry a storage bag, and inside it... a tree sapling?

Even the guard himself found it hard to believe his guess—who carries a tree sapling for no reason? Could it be some divine tree? Even so, it wouldn’t be planted in a place like this!

He hurried back: "What’s the deal with this sapling?!"

"Uh... didn’t you say the lock could seal cultivation? Why does it seem like it’s not working?" Chen Muxue scratched her head sheepishly, like someone discovering they’ve been forcefully activated with game hacks unexpectedly.

Ah, sometimes one’s moral integrity is simply too high—logically, she should exploit the information gap to overpower the guard, unlock all cells, creating chaos. But... it seems it wouldn’t benefit her much.

"Impossible!" the guard exclaimed.

He had seen several experts reduced to mere mortals when imprisoned here, the highest even reaching the Void Refinement Realm. How could this mere Nascent Soul Realm woman possibly achieve this?
