"Senior, we have discussed it! If you provide six thousand high-level spiritual stones, this stone will be yours!" Bian Ji held the meteorite, stared into the woman's eyes, and said cautiously.
"Oh, okay, sure." The woman nodded, surprisingly, she didn't make a counter-offer, which made Bian Ji, who was already ready to bargain, feel a little disappointed.
"Senior, don't you want to haggle over the price?" Bian Ji shook the stone in his hand and carefully confirmed.
"No need." The woman shook her head and placed two fingers between her eyebrows. After a moment, the light flashed slightly between her eyebrows, and there was already a storage ring in her hand.
The woman threw the storage ring to Bian Ji and waited for him to check the spiritual stones inside. But Bian Ji was already trembling with fright at the way the woman took out the storage ring - taking out the object from between her eyebrows, this woman turned out to be a senior in the Void Refining Stage!
It is true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured... Seniors in the Void Refining Stage can actually get lost...
Bian Ji took a quick look at the spiritual stones in the storage ring. Six thousand high-level spiritual stones were neatly stacked in one place, which was more than the three of them had earned after two or three years of hard work!
This is the easiest and richest amount of spiritual stones they have ever earned in their lives.
"Thank you, senior! This is yours, please keep it!" Bian Ji held the storage ring tightly in his hand, and respectfully held the meteorite in his other hand and handed it to the woman.
"Thank you!" The woman waved from the air and took the meteorite into her hand out of thin air. After looking up and down for a few times, the meteorite actually seemed to melt under the gaze of Bian Ji and others. Little by little, it "melted" into the woman's palm and disappeared without a trace.
After absorbing the meteorite, a satisfied smile appeared on the woman's face. She smiled sweetly at the three people on the side, nodded in greeting, and said thank you. He was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he turned around with a slight frown.
Seeing that the woman's expression seemed a little unhappy, Bian Ji hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I wonder if you have any other instructions, senior?"
The woman looked at Leng Jie and Gao Mo, who were standing next to Bianji with indifferent faces, frowned and said, "I smiled at you just now, but what do you mean? I'm the first to say this to you. From the beginning, you two have been expressionless all the time. It's fine if you don't say a word. I have already spoken to thank you and say goodbye, but you still don't say a word? Will you die if you say one more word? "
Bian Ji hurriedly waved his hands to smooth things over and said: "Senior, don't blame me, senior, don't blame me. These two brothers are a bit aloof. They have too many things on their minds, so they often only say a limited number of words and ignore others easily. Absolutely not I deliberately neglected my seniors, but yes, they are indeed used to this, and are used to it... Please forgive me, seniors! Forgive me!"
The woman looked at Leng Jie and Gao Mo, and saw that the two men's eyes were blurred, as if they had already wandered away from the world. Although the anger in her heart had been diluted a lot, she still couldn't help complaining: "It's really rude! Even if it's so rude! There are so many things to do every day, how long does it take to say hello or say hello to others? It’s really impressive..."
After saying that, the woman snorted coldly, not wanting to argue with these two people anymore, she turned around and turned into a ray of light, flying straight to the northeast...

A few hours ago.
"What's going on?! How come you can't sense Qu Siqiu?!" Qu Wuming suddenly stopped escaping and looked towards the horizon in confusion.
When he sensed that the sword spirit Xiao Yuan was teleported to a far away place along with the woman in white, he could still communicate with Qu Siqiu in the sea of consciousness. Qu Wuming sensed that the distance between them was relatively close. , he told Qu Siqiu to go to the location of the woman in white and take care of her.
But after he also left Snowy City in Northern Xinjiang, he discovered that Qu Siqiu, whom he could still contact not long ago... actually lost contact.
Qu Siqiu's demon clone seeds are all normal, which means that Qu Siqiu is not in any danger for his life.
But he still couldn't contact him in his spiritual consciousness.
There can only be one explanation - the distance between Qu Wuming and Qu Siqiu is too far.
Or they are separated by different spaces and it is difficult to communicate across the space barrier.
Or, the distance is simply too far, exceeding the distance limit of spiritual communication between the main body and the clone.
"Boss, could it be that Qu Siqiu... ran away?"
Although Qu Wuming didn't want to admit this fact, he still sighed after a moment and said: "There is a possibility..."
Qu Wushe: "What...what should I do?"
"We can only go find her first..." Qu Wuming sighed, "Xiao Yuan and the others seem to have teleported again, and now I can't sense it. I won't lose all my clones and my natal sword as soon as I set off. Isn’t it? If that’s the case, it would be too unlucky!”
With that said, Qu Wuming didn't waste any more time, and after a brief identification of the direction, he transformed into a ray of light and flew towards the direction where Qu Siqiu was last sensed.
the next day.
"Boss, I finally found you!" Qu Siqiu had tears in his eyes and flew to Qu Wuming's side with a look of aggrievedness on his face. He threw all his previous reserve to the sky, threw himself into Qu Wuming's arms and wiped away his tears, "I Flying, flying, I can't sense you, I thought I was going to get lost, but I was scared to death, wuwuwu..."
Qu Wuming had been holding back a lot of anger and wanted to vent it. Seeing that Qu Siqiu was already aggrieved and bursting into tears, he didn't have the nerve to criticize her, so he could only pat Qu Siqiu's back to comfort him: "It's okay, it's okay, I found it! Just found it, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
"Well, well..." Qu Siqiu still kept sobbing, "Boss, why do you think I got lost while walking? I was obviously going in the direction you instructed!"
Qu Wuming felt speechless when he heard this question.
Yes, how could you get lost just walking?
Qu Siqiu seems to be a very understanding person, why doesn't he know the way?
Not to mention the distance, obviously in the past two hours, the feeling between the two people has been getting stronger and stronger. They might have met in half an hour if they flew in a straight line, but Qu Siqiu gradually turned around when flying in a straight line. bend……
While Qu Wuming patted Qu Siqiu's back to comfort her, he took advantage of his body to quietly check Qu Siqiu's previous memories.
After a while, Qu Wuming felt speechless in his heart to an extent that was difficult to add.
After some inspection, Qu Wuming discovered that the reason why Qu Siqiu got lost so easily was that she was too curious. Sometimes she would stop at any time when she saw some plants and animals she had never seen before while flying by. Come down and observe before continuing on your way.
On the other hand, he is a simple road idiot.
Once you stop, it won't take long before everything in all directions looks brand new. You don't even know how to distinguish the southeast from the northwest, so when you continue to move forward, you basically rely on the blind...
"Is there really such a creature as Lu Chi?!" Qu Wuming helplessly put his hand on his forehead.
"It seems that I can only keep her by my side from now on..." Qu Wuming finally comforted Qu Siqiu and let her return to the Zi Mansion space to practice. Then he calmed down and started on the road again.
The originally planned route had to be re-planned because of the detour in search of Qu Siqiu.
Fortunately, Qu Wuming was very familiar with the area near the Snow Mountain and Baichuan Plain, and he quickly decided on a new route.
"Now that we have deviated from the safe route from Snowy City in Northern Xinjiang to Benniu Plains and then to Huangfengling Ridge, we can go northwest from Baichuan Plains and only need to pass through Huanyanze to enter the territory of the Fox Clan." In Qu Wuming's mind, the general map of the Northland had already been unfolded. He already knew where to go and where to avoid as much as possible in advance. "I hope the Beast Tide Fox Clan did not suffer any big losses this time, otherwise even if they enter If we enter the Fox Clan territory, I'm afraid we have to cross the border quietly. I don't know how the little girl Su Lian'er is doing."
Qu Wuming was thinking as he took out a shuttle and jumped in.
Baichuan Plain is still an area where human activities are relatively frequent, and there are rarely big monsters. Qu Wuming no longer hides his traces, but in order to speed up and save some mana, he chooses to drive the shuttle and continue forward.
Three days later, the dense woods of Baichuan Plain gradually became a distant scenery.
What appeared in front of Qu Wuming was an endless, smoky swamp.
Here is one of the most famous dangerous places in the North, the Phantom Smoke.
The size of Huanyanze is not inferior to that of the Baichuan Plain with its verdant mountains, and even its area is even larger.
Moreover, unlike Baichuanyuan where there are few monsters, especially big monsters, Huan Yanze is a place with many monsters. There are probably as many as eight hundred kinds of monsters living in the phantom smoke, and there are many very powerful monsters among them.
If it were normal, Qu Wuming would rather take a detour than cross the phantom smoke.
However, this time I had to take the risk and travel through it.
After all, due to the beast tide, I had been delayed for too long in the Snowy City of Northern Xinjiang. This time I searched for Qu Siqiu and took a lot of detours. If I continue to take detours leisurely, once there is another If something happened to delay it and miss the opening day of the Underworld, it would be more than worth the loss.
Qu Wuming stopped the shuttle at the edge of the phantom smoke, looked at the vast swamp ahead, took a deep breath, put the shuttle away, and turned into a stream of light and flew in.
The last time I entered Huan Yanze, I came here hundreds of years ago to collect medicines. However, after going a hundred miles deep, I experienced several fights. After finding the medicinal materials, I hurriedly retreated out the same way.
But this time, it was to cross the entire phantom smoke.
The goal Qu Wuming set for himself was three days.
Within three days, a straight line crossed the Huan Yanze and entered the territory of the Fox Clan.
As for riding the silver eagle puppet given by Han Tian to cross the phantom smoke from high altitude, Qu Wuming had ruled it out as an option very early on.
Otherwise, there are more than one kind of great bird demons living in the phantom smoke. Passing over their territory from high altitude is violating their taboo, and it is very likely that they will be attacked in groups.
In addition, now that Yuan Cha Sword is no longer in his hand, Qu Wuming is still prepared to keep a low profile as much as possible, even if it is through bribery, as long as he can get through Huan Yanze safely...
