However, in the present era, Earth had already entered the age, where spiritual energy was sparse and even humans found it increasingly difficult to cultivate, let alone animals.

To reach such a level of cultivation, it would require at least hundreds of years, if not longer.

A piercing scream echoed through the air, followed by the entity bouncing up and lunging at Lumiao.

Lu Miao swiftly formed a hand seal, grabbing the creature by its neck and sternly asking, “Tell me, were you responsible for the deaths of those two girls on the mountain before?”

Being so close to Luo City, this place lacked the necessary environment for cultivation.

The presence of this creature here could only mean that it was using abnormal methods for its cultivation.

“No, no,” the creature shrieked, struggling desperately in mid-air.

Lu Miao sneered, her hand still gripping its neck. With her other hand, she slapped a yellow talisman directly onto its head.

An ear-piercing screech reverberated through the entire forest.

After wriggling and struggling in her grip for a moment, the creature suddenly opened its mouth and bit her hand.

Lu Miao quickly retaliated, slapping it on the mouth.

The creature abruptly shrank, shedding a layer of outer covering, and transformed into the size of a wildcat. It swiftly escaped from her grasp and darted into the underbrush.

Lumiao formed a hand seal in front of her, and a golden character materialized, forming a cage that trapped the creature within the thick foliage.

“Thump, thump, thump.”

The creature went berserk, desperately slamming into the surrounding cage.

As it kept ramming, it emitted a chaotic screeching noise.

Lu Miao’s hands rapidly changed positions, causing the golden character-formed cage to shrink smaller and smaller.

The creature’s cries gradually grew weaker.

Lu Miao raised her hand and removed a gourd pendant hanging around her neck. She lightly tapped it with her fingertip, causing the golden character and the creature to swiftly be sucked into it.

The dense darkness surrounding them instantly dissipated, and the starry sky reappeared above their heads.

The night breeze rustled through the mountains, producing a whispering sound.

Everything returned to its original state as if what had happened before was merely their illusion.

Lu Miao put away the gourd pendant around her neck.

Aluo, who had always been an atheist and lacked knowledge in this area as a foreigner, was completely dumbfounded.

Seeing Lu Miao about to leave, he momentarily forgot about being tricked by her earlier and stammered, “W-what… what was that thing?”

Before Lu Miao could respond, a dazzling and radiant light suddenly streaked across the sky.

The three of them simultaneously looked up, witnessing a bright white light with a long tail traversing closer to them in the night sky,

The intense light nearly turned the entire night sky above them into daylight.

The light quickly disappeared into the forest, and at the same time, the ground beneath their feet trembled.

Suddenly, the three of them realized that the meteorite had landed and they all rushed in the direction of the tremors under their feet.

Lu Miao moved swiftly, disappearing into the night forest as if entering a realm devoid of human presence, quickly distancing herself from the two people behind her.

She had absolute confidence in finding the meteorite and the Starfall Herb before the others. However, unlike the meteorite, the Starfall Grass needed a few more hours to grow into its fully mature state with the best medicinal properties.

Listening to the footsteps in the distance behind her, Lu Miao stopped and pulled out several talismans, tossing them into the surroundings before leisurely continuing forward.

Half an hour later, Lu Miao finally found the fallen meteorite. Starfall Herb nearby had already grown leaves.

The tender green shoots emitted a faint glow in the darkness.

Lu Miao found a spot nearby and sat down, taking the opportunity to deal with the things she had collected into her necklace.

Several lives had already been lost to it, and keeping the item would only bring harm to ordinary people.

As the sky brightened, the meteor shower in the sky had completely disappeared.

The Starfall Herb had also matured completely, with its emerald leaves adorned with sparkling dewdrops.

Lu Miao took out a small wooden shovel from her bag, carefully digging up the Starfall Herb from the ground and placing it in a prepared wooden box.

She stood up, humming a cheerful tune as she walked towards the foot of the mountain.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, a police car was parked there.

Aluo wore the black sports jacket of the man next to him, gesturing animatedly to the police officer beside him.

‘Why don’t you believe me? That creature can really speak and asked the girl if it looked human. Then, the girl grabbed its neck and said it had killed someone…”

The two police officers beside him exchanged a glance, their faces expressing doubt and questioning the man’s sanity.

Then, they looked at the man with sincerity and said, “Is your friend perhaps suffering from some kind of trauma? The psychiatric department at the Ninth Hospital is well-known. Maybe you should take your friend there to see a doctor first.”

“I didn’t! I’m telling the truth! She even fought us for the grass and threw something at us. Then we were trapped and couldn’t find our way all night, so we had to call the police…” Alo explained frantically.

The police officer looked at him with an even more sympathetic gaze. “Don’t worry, the grass on this mountain is all yours, no one will take it from you.”o

Aluo was infuriated, almost wanting to attack. Why wouldn’t anyone believe his words?

Just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly caught sight of Lu Miao, who was trying to slip away unnoticed.

He immediately pointed at her, raising his voice, “Officer, it’s her! She talked to that creature and said it violated some post-founding regulations about not becoming intelligent!”

Lu Miao’s lip twitched, and she helplessly spoke up, “Officer, I am a good young socialist, upholding the core socialist values, believing in science, and opposing feudal superstitions. Last night, I only went up the mountain to watch the meteor shower and truly couldn’t understand what he was saying.”

“You’re talking nonsense! I saw it all! You put that murderer into your necklace!” Aluo immediately retorted.

He was so angry that he almost rushed over to grab the item from Lu Miao’s necklace.

The other police officer glanced at it—it was just an ordinary gourd-shaped pendant—and patted Lu Miao’s shoulder sympathetically.

“He must have been stranded on the mountain for too long last night, and was scared out of his mind. For the sake of being an international friend, don’t be calculative with him.”

Lu Miao nodded generously.” Okay, Mr Policeman.”

She looked like an obedient girl.

“However, it’s still very dangerous for a young lady like you to go up the mountain alone at night. Don’t ever do it again. “The police officer reminded her with concern, then waved his hand to signal for her to leave.

Lu Miao smiled and waved goodbye to ALuo.

Aluo was so angry that he almost rushed over.

The man who had been silent all this while gave her a meaningful look..
