"Fellow Daoist Zou, I don't need biling grass, but if you plan to do anything, please tell me beforehand."
"Otherwise, I don't want your elixir. I don't want to be sold and have to help count the money."
The more Xiao Hua thought about it, the more depressed he became. There was always a feeling that he would be betrayed at any time if he boarded a pirate ship.
"I didn't hide it from you? The situation was critical just now and I didn't rush to tell you."
"If you feel that collecting the bones of two monster beasts is a bit of a loss, then I will give you the elixir regardless of whether there are monster beasts or not."
Zou Shuniang lowered the conditions.
She needs Xiao Hua's "Tiangan Liujia Formation" and doesn't want Xiao Hua to leave now.
Xiao Hua said nothing, but secretly made up his mind.
After a while, I helped Zou Shuniang collect the spiritual fluid, took the elixir, and left immediately.
Even if Zou Shuniang does something else or promises any treasures, Xiao Hua will never believe her.
He was a little worried about this Zou Shuniang, or he was not willing to be used.
After that, the two of them were silent all the way, flying one after another in the other direction for nearly four hours.
Finally, we stopped in front of a high mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. There was a huge cave at the foot of this high mountain.
Looking at the huge cave in front of him, Xiao Hua couldn't help but feel worried.
His "Tiangan Liujia Formation" is not a defensive access control for the cave, and requires a certain amount of space to set it up and use it.
If it is set up in a hole, the power of the formation will be greatly weakened, and it may even be impossible to set up.
"Fellow Daoist Zou, what kind of spiritual liquid do you want? Is it in this cave?"
Xiao Hua asked.
"Yes, the kind of spiritual liquid I want to collect is called spiritual wood alcohol liquid, which is produced from a spiritual tree called Hanyin wood."
"This kind of cold-yin wood likes dampness and humidity the most, and it can only be found in this cave in the entire Lingshan Mountain."
"Okay, but the power of my magic circle will be weakened if it is set up in the cave. Why don't we set up the magic circle outside the cave?"
"If there is no monster in the cave, collect it quickly. If there is, we will lure it outside the cave and trap it with a magic circle. If you can kill it, kill it. If you can't kill it, run away."
Xiao Hua made a suggestion.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao is really thoughtful, okay, I'll do as you say."
"But it's getting late today, and we've spent a lot of mana before. How about we sit quietly and adjust our breath all night, and then go into the cave to check it out early tomorrow morning?"
"Tomorrow? This..., okay."
Xiao Hua was right when he thought about it.
Before, I used a magic circle which didn't cost much mana, but Zou Shuniang used a spell, so she needed to recover.
So the two of them found a piece of flat land on the mountainside with their flying magic weapon, and began to meditate and adjust their breath.
Early the next morning.
After Xiao Hua set up the "Tiangan Liujia Formation" outside the cave, he and Zou Shuniang entered the cave together.
The space of this cave is very high, and there are many inverted stone breasts on the top. There is no branch road in the cave, only a very rugged passage leading deep into the cave.
The two of them carefully walked forward along this passage for about a cup of tea. The passage began to extend underground, the cave became very narrow, and the light became darker and darker.
Zou Shuniang took out a moonstone from her storage bag and held it above her head, while Xiao Hua followed Zou Shuniang closely.
After turning a few corners in the cave and walking for about half a stick of incense, they arrived at the end of the cave.
There seemed to be a large insect hole at the end of the hole. There were some hatched egg shells scattered in the four corners of the hole.
But no larvae could be seen, and it was impossible to tell what kind of monster's lair this was.
There were several cracks of varying depths on the walls of the cave. It looked like they were caused by some kind of sharp weapon or claws. It seemed that a fierce fight had taken place here before.
There is a flat boulder in the middle of the worm hole. There is a jade bottle placed on the boulder. There is a huge stone milk extending downward from the top of the cave directly above the boulder.
There is a black branch as long as an arm and as thick as two fingers growing on this stone breast. There is only one branch in the whole branch, and there is only one leaf on the branch.
What's strange is that this leaf is actually blue, and blue juice is slowly oozing out.
"Great, the monsters here have been lured away. Look, this is the jade bottle that those people used to collect spiritual fluid."
"This is really a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind. We have made a lot of money this time. Let's see how much we have."
Zou Shuniang was very excited. This was really hard to find, and it took no effort to get it.
"Oh, why are there so few? It's not enough."
Zou Shuniang frowned after reading the spiritual liquid in the bottle.
Xiao Hua also looked at the jade bottle. The blue liquid had just covered the bottom of the bottle.
"How many are you going to collect?".
"At least half a bottle is needed. It's okay. We can wait and come back when it's full."
Zou Shuniang was still smiling when she said this, but her eyes were twinkling.
Xiao Hua didn't notice anything unusual about Zou Shuniang and answered casually.
"Okay, then come back when it's full. But I feel like the spiritual liquid doesn't drip very fast. How long will it take for it to be full?"
"It won't take long, only more than twenty days."
Zou Shuniang answered very quickly and very quietly.
"Oh, ah, what, more than twenty days? Is there any mistake?"
Xiao Hua became angry immediately.
He thought that collecting the spiritual fluid would be like fetching water from the river and it would not take long.
After more than twenty days, it is not far away from Lingshan being sealed again.
It seems that he was tricked again by this Zou Shuniang out of nowhere.
"What do you mean by mistake? Hey, Fellow Daoist Xiao, we agreed."
"You helped me collect the spiritual liquid and I gave you the elixir, but you didn't ask me how long it would take. What's wrong? Do you want to go back on your word?"
Zou Shuniang suddenly put away her smile and looked at Xiao Hua expressionlessly.
"This, I..., Fellow Daoist Zou, I promised to help you collect spiritual fluid to deal with the monsters."
"But you didn't tell me that it would take more than twenty days to collect the spiritual fluid. You had to tell me earlier, then that ghost would come."
Xiao Hua was very angry, but he didn't dare to explode.
After all, Zou Shuniang is in the late stage of foundation building. If she gets angry from shame, he can't beat her.
But the problem is, this is the Kunlun Mountains sealed by ancient cultivators. There are monsters everywhere. If you stay here for one more day, you will be in more danger.
It's okay now. I have to stay here for more than twenty days for a few foundation-building pills.
Xiao Hua was so depressed that his face turned green. It seemed that Master Juan'er was right.
In the world of immortality, martial arts is respected, and no one will reason with you. You have to be more careful in the future, and you must never deal with these people with secular thinking again.
"What's wrong with waiting a few more days? Why are you blaming me even though you didn't ask?"
"I'm telling you, I called you here to help me deal with the monsters. Now that there are no monsters here, you don't have to take risks. You should have made a profit, and you still blame me? Humph! It's really unreasonable."
Zou Shuniang put her hands on her waist, quack quack quack... and said to Xiao Hua.
"Did I still make money?".
Forget about the depression in Xiao Hua's heart.
Zou Shuniang was obviously making excuses. Although the foundation-building elixirs were valuable, they were occasionally sold in pawnshops.
If she told herself that it would take more than twenty days, then the ghost would come.
Even if he couldn't get the Thunder Demon Pill containing the power of the Five Elements in Lingshan, there really was nothing else to do.
But he couldn't just fall into Zou Shuniang's trap for no reason and work for her for more than twenty days in vain.
Xiao Hua was angry. This kind of thing can't be tolerated by uncle and aunt. If it doesn't work, he will use the thunder flag to fight. He's afraid.
