# Chapter 1019: It Shouldn't Mind, Right? (Bonus Chapter)
In the dome space of the Brahma Heavenly Palace!
Jiangnan and Zhang San abruptly appeared, still carrying a bit of loose soil on their heads!
Instantly scanning their surroundings, the Brahma Palace was indeed as empty as they had imagined!
Their gazes couldn't help but fall upon the incredibly massive main vine plant before them!
Even Jiangnan couldn't help but draw a cold breath!
Just at Starlight rank, it had already grown this big!
If it really broke through to Dao Heaven, how enormous would it become?
Right now, the mother vine's aura was extremely unstable, with red light flickering endlessly on its body!
In a few more hours, it might actually succeed in breaking through, who knows!
Zhang San was also looking at the massive mother vine with a worried expression.
"Boss Nan? What do we do?"
Jiangnan grinned. The reason the mother vine hadn't attacked him yet was because of the effect of Li Bing's serum!
But once he started messing with the blood vine, he would definitely face its merciless counterattack!
For an existence like this mother vine, its attack power was even comparable to Dao Heaven rank!
Jiangnan chuckled and directly handed Zhang San five Paralysis Rings!
"Put them on your middle fingers and middle toes. Anyway, just make sure they're in the center position!"
"Enough talk. Let me loot this place first!"
With that, he teleported over to several vaults on the side!
At this moment, Jiangnan's eyes were dazzled by the sight of all that money!
Had he finally reached the boss room and was about to get his gear drops?
All this work hadn't been for nothing!
Time was tight, so how could Jiangnan bother to see what treasures were stored in the vaults?
He opened the entrance to his Alternate Dimension to the maximum, his hands moving so fast they left afterimages as he grabbed treasures and tossed them backward!
He threw everything into his Alternate Dimension!
Spirit pearls and spirit materials went in by the crate, along with mountains of cash stacked on pallets with forklifts!
Jiangnan also found many vine seeds and vine pistils stored in vacuum cans—all good stuff!
He even pried up the Ba Yu jade floor tiles from the vault and took them away!
Truly scraping the ground clean!
While pocketing treasures, he let out a "Go hehe" laugh!
Meanwhile, Zhang San was staring blankly at the five golden rings in his hand!
Besides middle fingers and middle toes...
What else was in the center?
Why did Boss Nan give me five rings?
But since Boss Nan did it, there must be a reason!
Ah! I get it!
In less than a minute, Jiangnan had completely cleaned out several vaults!
His arms were sore from carrying things, and he wore a blissful expression!
(ૢ⁼̴̤̆ꇴ⁼̴̤̆ૢ) Hell yeah~
But he didn't forget the main mission. He teleported back under the mother vine!
"Ready?"
Zhang San: "Ready~"
Zhang San had his middle fingers and middle toes all sticking out, and he had even managed to slip one of the Paralysis Rings onto his tongue!
The front half of his entire tongue had turned gold!
Jiangnan's mouth twitched. You can wear a ring on your tongue too?
A paralyzed tongue, huh?
Did you really have to go that far? Hands and feet should have been enough. Did you have to use all of them?
I just randomly grabbed a handful and gave them to you, and you actually used every single one?
Jiangnan was sweating profusely.
(٥･᷄ㅂ･᷅) "Th-this isn't impossible. Poke it! Don't stop until I come out, got it?"
Zhang San took a deep breath, his gaze full of determination!
"Got it! Leave it to me!"
With that, he made a big leap onto the mother vine. His hands, feet, and paralyzed tongue all slammed hard onto the main trunk of the mother vine!
Five points of contact meant five times the pleasure!
He began infinitely paralyzing the mother vine!
The moment the mother vine was paralyzed, red light surged on its vine body, and all its branches froze motionless!
Mother Vine: ༼˃᷄益˂᷅༽!!!
What the hell is paralyzing me?
Why can't even my roots move?
Jiangnan's heart also tightened. He didn't know if the Paralysis Ring would work on plant-type spirit beasts!
But this was the only way!
"Who cares? Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"
With that, he pulled out the Blood-Drinking Halberd and started hacking wildly at the main branch of the mother vine!
"Clang!" Sparks flew everywhere!
The impact numbed Jiangnan's arm!
Damn it. A Starlight peak mother vine was indeed tough to cut!
But this wasn't enough to stop Jiangnan. He pulled out the Small Stool and started smashing it against the main trunk!
"Pfft!"
A huge hole was smashed into the vine body, with vine sap splattering everywhere!
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅)ﾉ┻┻Σ༼ಠ益ಠꐦ༽
Jiangnan's eyes lit up with excitement. Got to rely on my stool daddy!
"Special move! Super Impact Stool!"
Jiangnan's stool became a blur as he started a back-and-forth ramming motion against the mother vine!
It made a "da da da" sound, like a human-shaped impact drill!
(ꐦᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌) drrr drrr drrr ༼ʘ̆口ʘ̥̆‖༽
He actually managed to drill a hole into the mother vine's body and crawled inside!
As a Southern man, I'm a professional when it comes to drilling and tapping!
Zhang San, drooling from the corner of his mouth, watched in stunned disbelief!
Once the anesthetic kicked in, he was actually performing a craniotomy on the mother vine?
This was a Starlight peak spirit beast! How did it break through the defense?
Was it really this fierce?
Mother Vine: ~%?...#;*'☆!
Get out of me! Hurry!
It hurts! Hiss~
Transforming into a human-shaped impact drill, Jiangnan attacked all the way to the vine core, his entire body dyed like a bloody gourd from the vine sap!
He found that the vine flesh here wasn't as hard as the outer skin, and could be compressed using Void Black Hole!
So he pushed forward even faster, scurrying around inside the mother vine's main trunk!
With a puzzled expression!
"Where's the vine stem? Where's the spirit pearl?"
How could the mother vine tolerate this? It struggled wildly!
But under the effect of the Paralysis Rings, it was completely bound!
After some searching, Jiangnan finally found a pink gelatinous substance at the very core!
It was about three meters in diameter, semi-transparent, soft like jelly, and exuding astonishing spiritual energy!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. This should be the vine stem, right?
Whatever it was, cut it off and bring it back first!
He hacked it off with his halberd, stuffed one end of the vine stem into his Alternate Dimension, and then started pulling it upward frantically!
The mother vine was so huge. If I take ten or twenty tons of vine stem, it shouldn't mind, right?
Mother Vine: !!!
At that moment, the mother vine felt its life threatened. All its roots began to tremble!
It was using all its strength to break free from the paralysis!
Jiangnan kept going upward, stuffing who knows how much vine stem into his Alternate Dimension until it was almost full!
The higher he went, the thinner the vine stem became, until Jiangnan slashed through a bloody membrane with his halberd!
Through the crack, Jiangnan saw a red spirit pearl, as big as a human head!
He was truly shocked. No wonder it's a mutant—such a huge spirit pearl!
The entire spirit pearl was wrapped in a pink unknown liquid, soaking in it!
And at that moment, those pink liquids began to flow out through the crack Jiangnan had made!
The moment they touched the air, the pink liquid evaporated into a shockingly concentrated spiritual energy that drifted into the atmosphere!
Jiangnan had never seen such a high concentration of spiritual energy!
It was so thick it even made Jiangnan's eyes sting!
In the blink of an eye, a third of it had evaporated, and the entire dome space was filled with spiritual mist!
Jiangnan's eyes went wide!
This wouldn't be that so-called vine marrow, would it?
The thing Pepper wanted? It was all evaporating?
Panicked, Jiangnan frantically tried to find a glass jar to collect the pink liquid!
But at this evaporation rate, by the time he found a jar, it would all be gone!
At this point, Jiangnan didn't care anymore. He directly lay down at the crack and started gulping down the vine marrow!
If I don't drink it, it'll evaporate!
That would be a waste! I need to cultivate the good habit of being thrifty!
The mother vine shouldn't mind, right?
Massive amounts of vine marrow all went into Jiangnan's stomach, and he even crawled into the crack to drink more!
The moment the vine marrow entered his mouth, Jiangnan felt like he had swallowed molten lava!
"Boom!"
The incredibly violent spiritual energy impacted Jiangnan's whole body in agony, as if a hydrogen bomb had been detonated inside him!
It blasted Jiangnan until blood flowed from his seven orifices. His skin turned red, and he felt like he was about to explode!
٩(◦´༎ຶཀ༎ຶ◦)۶
His rank was unreasonably pushed up to Platinum Six Stars, and it didn't stop there!
Even his head was knocked dizzy, as if he were drunk!
But even so, Jiangnan didn't stop. He drank all the vine pistil!
He even licked clean the few drops of vine marrow still on the spirit pearl, not leaving a single drop!
The mother vine was completely enraged!
Its entire body burst with dazzling blood light. Its roots twitched and condensed, making the whole dome space tremble!
Zhang San was shocked!
"Boss Nan! Hurry! The mother vine seems about to go berserk! Shlurp~"
Zhang San sucked back his drool, speaking as such!
Jiangnan shook his dazed head!
"Pfft~"
A mouthful of blood came out. His whole body was like a red-hot branding iron!
He felt like his internal organs were burning, incredibly uncomfortable!
(☍ཀ⁰。) "Could this damn vine marrow be poisonous? Why do I feel like I'm about to explode?"
Jiangnan, filled with violent energy with nowhere to vent, felt like he was being suffocated to death!
But he could already feel the mother vine's vibrations. There was no time to waste!
"Such a big spirit pearl. If I knock off half and pocket it, it shouldn't mind, right?"
With that, he smashed the Small Stool against the spirit pearl!
"Crack!"
The entire spirit pearl split in half from the middle, and Jiangnan took the slightly larger piece!
Mother Vine: I mind! I mind!
You're just bullying me because I can't talk, right?
...
While Jiangnan was performing surgery on the mother vine!
In the conference room of the Gedun Building, the atmosphere was rather tense!
"Crackle! Bang! Snap!"
"Pfft pfft~ Bang bang pow!"
Immortal qi filled the air, lingering echoes echoing—quite a lively scene!
On the conference table, everyone's facial features were twisted together!
Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, and their toes were curled up!
Starlight Wei had almost vomited out her gallbladder!
While enduring the stink attack, she also had to suppress the violent immortal qi in her body. The feeling...
Tsk tsk tsk~
Chen Daoyi held his nose, looking disgusted: "Your Brahma Society really is overbearing, isn't it?"
