103: Ninth-grade longevity pill (gift plus update)
Because Wang Teng was seasick, the group of three still came on horseback.
Crossing the sand sea, although the Sand Scale Horned Wind Horse's steps were like wind, it still took a considerable amount of time.
The Huangfeng Plains were vast, and it took them a full half a month to finally reach the vicinity of Fu Yu Mountain.
On the sand sea, Wang Teng sat on his horse, stroking his chin as he looked at the Cultivator who resembled a dead dog.
Shen Li looked over, examining the person's clothes. Although they were dirty and looked like a beggar's rags, Shen Li noticed a peculiar embroidered emblem.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke.
"A Cultivator from Tian Ya Pavilion? Was he severely injured by someone?"
Wang Teng took a look, then analyzed, "He looks like he was severely injured by a palm strike. The magical traces on him lean towards earth and wind attributes... Hmm? Could it be caused by his fellow Senior Brother?"
Wang Teng clicked his tongue in wonder. These days, even Immortal Sects weren't peaceful, with everyone harboring ulterior motives.
While they couldn't openly kill fellow Disciples, severely injuring them and leaving them to die in the Yellow Sand Plains... wasn't considered a breach of rules.
It was just unknown what kind of hatred could make them fight among themselves.
Shen Li glanced at him, not wanting to get involved, and simply said indifferently, "This person doesn't look well. If no one helps him, he probably won't last a few days... Forget it."
"Don't get involved in other people's Karma for no reason... Life and death are up to fate. Let's continue on our way."
Wang Teng also nodded earnestly, and Qiu Ya naturally didn't object.
So, the three of them intended to bypass him.
However, to their surprise, the person suddenly raised his arm and said in a hoarse voice, "I think... I can still be saved..."
"....."
No one paid attention...
Seeing this, Sun Xingtu was overjoyed. As if he had thought of something, he immediately said, "I know a clue to a ninth-grade heaven and earth treasure. If you can save me, I am willing to offer it with both hands."
Wang Teng's face quickly changed. He reined in his horse and stopped, chuckling.
"But then again, as Cultivators, we naturally have to help each other..."
Shen Li shrugged, noncommittal.
Wang Teng picked him up and placed him in front of his horse, looking at the gruesome, bloody chest and saying, unable to bear the sight, "Fellow Daoist, who did you offend to be struck so heavily?"
"....."
"Fellow Daoist, you need to be mentally prepared."
"What mental preparation?" Over here... Sun Xingtu was still confused when a tremor came from behind.
A group of Yao Beasts trampled dust as they swarmed forward!
The three Sand Scale Horned Wind Horses began to gallop wildly.
Shen Li's somewhat exasperated voice came from the air.
"I told you earlier not to raid their den! Now look, you're being chased!"
"Stop talking nonsense! You took one of the three earth-attribute spiritual essences yourself!"
"Run! Fu Yu Mountain is right ahead, I can already see the grand formation activating!"
Sun Xingtu was instantly dumbfounded, cold sweat breaking out on his back...
If he hadn't called for help just now... he probably wouldn't have died under the scorching sun, but would have died at the mouths of these Yao Beasts first!!!!
Simply malicious!
The outside Cultivation World was too complicated, he wanted to go home!!!!
The Sand Scale Horned Wind Horses galloped for three incense sticks' worth of time before they saw a low mountain peak.
At this moment, the mountain peak was lush green, with sturdy trees, and the sound of a waterfall could vaguely be heard.
Being in the Yellow Sand Plains, it made one feel as if they were in a mirage!
This was a scene created by a Cultivator using magical techniques.
It was somewhat unique in the Yellow Sand Plains! Dreamlike!
At the foot of the mountain, the three quickly stopped, only to see the group of sand hyenas not stopping, their eyes full of ferocity and madness as they pounced towards them!
But the next second, a yellowish earth-attribute spell flashed from behind, and with the spiritual guidance traversing through it,
Spikes suddenly shot out from underground.
Covering the entire Yao Beast group, then piercing through them all, annihilating them completely!
Everyone turned around, only to see a stern-faced middle-aged Cultivator slowly withdrawing his hand, looking at them with displeasure.
His aura was roughly at the eighth layer of Qi Refining, extremely solid.
However, this person seemed to be bound by some rule and did not attack them, only saying coldly, "Fu Yu Mountain's temporary gathering does not allow any Cultivator to fight within it, nor does it allow any Cultivator to bring trouble here."
"Considering this is your first time here, we won't pursue your responsibility. Don't let it happen again!"
After speaking, he turned and left.
The few people didn't refute anything, exchanged smiles, and then entered Fu Yu Mountain.
Walking along the pebble path shaded by trees on both sides, Shen Li looked at the incredibly flat mountain peak with surprise.
The mountain peak seemed to have been carved out by a knife, perfectly neat.
The buildings within it also didn't look like they were temporarily erected for a gathering.
They were excessively tidy.
There were pavilions cultivated by earth-attribute spells.
There were also treehouses grown by wood-attribute spells.
Of course, most were still some temporarily erected tents.
It just seemed that it wasn't time yet, as there were very few people on the streets.
Walking to a treehouse, Shen Li looked at the plaque above the door.
[Guests Welcome]
They entered the door, opened a room, and then carried the seemingly dead Sun Xingtu into the room.
"Tell us... Fellow Daoist, who did you offend?"
Sun Xingtu seemed to find it difficult to speak... but he couldn't resist Wang Teng's repeated inquiries as a curious baby.
An hour later, a burst of laughter erupted in the room.
Suddenly, a curse came from the surrounding houses.
"Hey! Neighbor! Keep it down!"
Only then did Wang Teng cover his mouth, pointing at Sun Xingtu, laughing uncontrollably.
Shen Li also listened to everything as if it were a heavenly book, looking at the bootlicker in front of him in disbelief.
"Your Family is at least an Immortal Family... Although there's no Immortal Master guarding it, it's not a mortal Family either. How could you be schemed against like this by a woman from a mortal Family?"
Sun Xingtu said nothing, only lowered his head and applied medicine.
The more he said, the more tears would flow.
After laughing, Wang Teng also consoled him, saying, "It's fine. You not only lost a woman, but you also lost a ninth-grade heaven and earth treasure."
"....."
"You not only lost a heaven and earth treasure, but you also lost a minor spell."
"....."
"You not only lost a minor spell, but you also lost... your Disciple status at Tian Ya Pavilion, and you were expelled from your Family."
".... That's enough."
Seeing Sun Xingtu becoming more and more frustrated, Wang Teng quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at talking."
"If you think about it carefully, this is also a good thing for you, after all, you've recognized this person's true nature!"
Sun Xingtu felt slightly better.
Shen Li shook his head helplessly, then asked, "Forget it, Fellow Daoist, just keep a clear conscience from now on... But since we saved Fellow Daoist, what about the clue to that strange item...?"
Sun Xingtu slowly nodded. This time, following behind the Tian Ya Pavilion Disciples and persistently pestering them, he wasn't withoutGains.
A few days ago, the Tian Ya Pavilion Disciples annihilated a Yao Beast tide and found some old silk books among them.
The silk books recorded a 'Pseudo Five Spirits Fragment,' which seemed to be left behind by a Yao Beast that died under a Dao Foundation Lightning Tribulation.
It was a ninth-grade item that could be consumed as Dao Foundation Materials. Although far inferior to the Five Spirit Pearls, it could still be used!
However, the clues in the silk books were vague... so Tian Ya Pavilion temporarily changed their Dao and headed to Fu Yu Mountain.
To find the omniscient Zhao Si... to obtain clues.
But hearing this, Shen Li frowned slightly.
"Fellow Daoist... are you playing with me?"
"What kind of rubbish clue is this?"
"Do you want me to take action and kill them for revenge?"
Sun Xingtu, however, showed no panic. Leaning against the bed, he took out an item and said with a relieved expression, "Fellow Daoist has not heard the whole story."
"After they left, I went deeper into it... and found another item."
"From it, I learned... a clue to a 'longevity pill.'"
