"So, we are only in the outer area of Lingshan now?"
"Nonsense, it's just because the central area cannot enter the major sects that they don't want to send disciples into the mountains to die."
"There are only some scattered ancient cultivation caves and a few spiritual herbs and elixirs in the periphery. Most of them were taken away by monks from earlier times. It is no longer worth the sacrifice of their low-level disciples by each sect."
"So that's it? I thought Lingshan was just that big. It seems my low cultivation limits my imagination."
Xiao Hua suddenly felt that low cultivation level and lack of money were the same, and they would limit people's imagination.
"Okay, don't think about it. We can't get into Lingshan Center. It's useless to think about it:
"By the way, you just said you went on an adventure trip. What do you mean? Did you go treasure hunting?
"There are not many treasures outside. There are still some spiritual herbs and elixirs that are thousands of years old. What did you find? Take it out and take a look."
Zou Shuniang always likes to ask questions and then guess the answers herself.
"What treasure are you looking for? My flying magic weapon was destroyed and I can't continue practicing. I just wanted to find something to do for myself, so I went out for adventure travel."
Xiao Hua smiled bitterly.
"Your flying magic weapon is broken? No wonder it took you so long to come back."
"Hey, that's not right. You said you can't continue to practice, but I see that you have already broken through to the middle stage after only one year. How come you can't practice?"
"Is there something you can only do in the middle stage of foundation building, so you can't continue practicing?"
Zou Shuniang's imagination was indeed extraordinary, and she actually guessed such a reason.
"Hey, hey, even if I tell you, you don't understand. I won't tell you anymore. By the way, why do you stay in Lingshan? Do you plan to practice here for three hundred years?"
Xiao Hua changed the subject and asked Zou Shuniang.
"Well, um, okay, I won't hide it from you. In fact, in addition to collecting spirit wood alcohol this time, I also want to look for a kind of elixir called Tang Lihua."
"The reason why I'm still in Lingshan is because I haven't obtained these two spiritual things yet."
"Once I get it, I will use the abundant spiritual energy in the mountain to break through the bottleneck and get out of the mountain through pill formation."
Zou Shuniang didn't hide anything this time and told the truth directly.
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Hua nodded.
He didn't know that Zou Shuniang was also looking for Tang Lihua in addition to collecting spiritual liquid, but he had already guessed how Zou Shuniang would come out.
Xiao Hua finally understood why most of the people who entered Lingshan were in the late stage of foundation building.
In addition to being more confident in dealing with monsters, the biggest reason is that in the later stages of foundation building, you can leave Lingshan by forming pills here.
"Brother Xiao, why do you stay here again? Do you want to practice spiritual energy from the early stage of foundation building to the golden elixir stage?"
"Wow, your idea is really bold."
"Cultivation here can indeed shorten the time by several years or even decades compared to outside, and this opportunity only comes once in three hundred years. Brother Xiao, you are so cruel."
Zou Shuniang was really a person who knew how to find answers on her own, so she started making random guesses again.
"Sister, can you please stop being so imaginative?"
"I told you a long time ago that I went to the mountain because the exercises I practiced require the use of the Thunder Demon Pill containing the power of the five elements, not for cultivation."
"The reason why I still stay here is because I went to your appointment and missed the time to go out."
Xiao Hua deliberately told Zou Shuniang about the appointment with half-truths, and he was still a little angry.
"How is that possible? The time we agreed on is still five or six days before the seal is strengthened. Even if I didn't go, it would only take you a few hours to fly from there to the exit. You can't blame me for this."
Zou Shuniang didn’t believe it.
"Why did I lie to you? I fought the Thunder Lizard here for twenty days, and then I drove the magic weapon to the appointment."
"As a result, I encountered a level seven monster on the way. I was injured and fainted, and my flying magic weapon was also damaged, so I had to walk to the appointment..."
Xiao Hua became more jealous and told Mother Zou about how he was injured, late and ended up being trapped in Lingshan.
"You said the seal was moved a day earlier? Impossible."
"The Lingshan seal weakens every three hundred years and lasts for thirty days at a time. This has not changed for thousands of years. How could it go wrong?"
Zou Shuniang shook her head.
"Did you miscalculate the time? Or maybe you were knocked unconscious by the monster and were unconscious for a day or two, but you thought you were only unconscious for a while?"
"The reason I missed the appointment was because I was injured and was in coma for two days."
Zou Shuniang tilted her head and began to help Xiao Hua analyze.
"I was in a coma for a day or two? Hiss...".
Xiao Hua rubbed his bald head and thought for a while, it was really possible.
Maybe I was actually injured by a monster and was unconscious for a day or two, so that was the wrong time.
If this is the case, then this matter really cannot be blamed on Zou Shuniang.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Anyway, it's already like this. By the way, did you find your spiritual wood alcohol liquid and Tang Lihua later?"
Xiao Hua didn't want to think about these helpless and sad things anymore, so he changed the topic again.
"That's a good question. Do you know why I came to you? Yes, that's right. I came here this time just to ask you to accompany me to collect spirit wood alcohol and Tangli flowers."
After circling for a long time, Zou Shuniang's fox tail was finally exposed.
"I just said, why are you so kind to come see me? It turns out that you had planned it beforehand."
"I know that as long as I meet you, nothing good will happen. If you don't go, I won't go. I won't go."
Xiao Hua really doesn't want to go.
"No, you have to go. You took my elixir but didn't help me collect the spiritual liquid. This is your promise last time and must be fulfilled."
"Also, didn't you promise that as long as I stopped pursuing..., you would do one thing for me, and that thing was to help me find Tang Lihua."
Zou Shuniang blushed slightly when she said this, but then she showed a proud smile.
"Ah, I'll go".
Xiao Hua suddenly discovered that no matter how smart he was, he could not escape Zou Shuniang's plan.
"Really? You agreed? That's great, we will go pick pear flowers tomorrow!".
Zou Shuniang was very proud of her plan, dancing with joy and trembling with flowers.
"Hey, when did I promise you? I said I would go, not that I agreed to go."
Xiao Hua knew that he was being plotted by Mother Zou again but could not find a reason to refute, so he pretended to be cheating.
"Humph, you have to agree if you don't agree, but in order to comfort you, I decided to give you a flying magic weapon."
"You are really stupid. You know that entering Lingshan is full of dangers, but you don't buy a few more spare items."
Zou Shuniang rolled her eyes at Xiao Hua, took out a leaf-shaped flying magic weapon from her storage bag and handed it to Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua didn't say anything, but his mood improved a lot. After taking the flying magic weapon, he imprinted his spiritual thoughts to recognize its master and subdue it.
It seems that Mrs. Zou is not as selfish as she thought. She just has a big brain and likes to guess the answer first.
"Brother Xiao, since you are back, I have to tell you something."
"I have been meditating every night since entering Lingshan, and I have basically never had any real rest."
"I didn't expect you to have a bed here. I'm used to sleeping in these days."
"So I decided that I would sleep in the bed tonight and you would guard the door for me at the entrance of the cave."
"What, I'm going to guard the door?".
Xiao Hua was stunned.
"Hey, this is my cave and my bed, you should guard the door."
After Xiao Hua finished speaking, he walked towards the big bed.
"you dare?".
Zou Shuniang patted the storage bag and took out her twelve silver crystal needles.
"Hey, I said you, Mrs. Zou, took over the magpie's nest and robbed the real estate. Is there any royal law for this?"
Xiao Hua screamed strangely and came to the entrance of the cave honestly.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Zou Shuniang's use of force, but he felt that the atmosphere was very lifelike.
It had been a long time since he had experienced this feeling of arguing with a beautiful woman.
