He Was in Grave Danger
"Senior, aren't you giving away way too many Heavenly Spirit Pill? You can't even buy this kind of pill on the market..."
After a few breaths, Chen Changming, still in shock, managed a look of "flattered surprise" on his face.
He never expected that this Miss Liu Qingwu would be so generous to him for the second time, giving him five hundred Heavenly Spirit Pill at once.
With the five hundred pills from the Cloth-Clad Elder, he now had a total of one thousand Heavenly Spirit Pill.
He had been stuck at the second level of Foundation Establishment for a long time. If he consumed these thousand Heavenly Spirit Pill, he was confident that he could break through to the third level of Foundation Establishment!
"Sigh." Liu Qingwu sighed, her face slightly somber, and slowly said, "I'm stuck at the Golden Core Realm, so I can't use the Heavenly Spirit Pill for now. But it's different for you. With the Heavenly Spirit Pill, you can at least advance a small realm. This is my way of repaying you."
Hearing Liu Qingwu say this, Chen Changming felt even more ashamed. If it were someone else, taking five hundred Heavenly Spirit Pill might be enough to break through a minor realm, but he couldn't even break through one level.
"Alright, senior, I agree to accompany you to Hidden Dragon Mountain to find the Detoxification Herb."
Chen Changming sighed and reluctantly agreed.
He had no choice but to avoid appearing too enthusiastic or decisive, lest he arouse Liu Qingwu's suspicion.
"That's excellent."
Liu Qingwu smiled and nodded. With a wave of her hand, one hundred Heavenly Spirit Pill flew out of her Storage Ring and floated in the air.
"I'll give it to you in five installments, based on the time it takes. This is your initial payment," Liu Qingwu said.
Thank you, senior.
Chen Changming accepted the one hundred Heavenly Spirit Pill with "slight excitement".
This elixir is extremely important to him.
In today's market, Heavenly Spirit Pill are available but unavailable; he couldn't buy them even if he wanted to.
Liu Qingwu nodded, closed her eyes, and rested.
Chen Changming sat by the campfire, adding firewood from time to time to make the fire burn brighter and the small temple warmer.
It rained heavily all night, and the next day the mountains were shrouded in a layer of mist, and the air was very fresh.
Liu Qingwu woke up and walked somewhat unsteadily to the outside of the dilapidated temple, where she took out a small Spirit Boat.
You take control.
After saying that, she stepped forward and sat down in front of the Spirit Boat.
Chen Changming agreed, stood at the back, and steered the Spirit Boat into the air. After a slight turn in the air, it headed straight for Hidden Dragon Mountain.
The Spirit Boat swept over towering mountains and steep ridges.
On a rugged mountain path, a grandfather and grandson walked alone.
The White-Clad Woman looked up as the Spirit Boat flew overhead and chuckled, "Grandpa, Liu Qingwu hired that Foundation Establishment Level 2 kid..."
He's likely in grave danger.
The Cloth-Clad Elder smiled calmly and shook his head, saying, "What a pity about those Heavenly Spirit Pill; I won't have the fortune to enjoy them."
"Grandpa, why do you say that? Although Liu Qingwu is poisoned, she still has the strength to fight. How could an ordinary Foundation Establishment dare to provoke her?"
The White-Clad Woman raised an eyebrow.
What I'm afraid of is the Liu Family's internal situation.
The Cloth-Clad Elder sighed softly, saying with considerable regret, "Liu Qingwu is at the peak of the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Logically speaking, no one in the Zhao Kingdom would dare to provoke her. Who would dare to poison her? It would have to be someone from the Liu Family. Liu Qingwu's younger sister is also a remarkable person. Naturally, she doesn't want her sister to reach the Golden Core stage, so she must stop her no matter what."
The White-Clad Woman's expression changed slightly, and she frowned, saying, "Grandpa, if we can't poison Liu Qingwu, will her half-sister Liu Ruyan send someone to assassinate her at Hidden Dragon Mountain?"
"That's right, we absolutely will not let her find the Detoxification Herb."
The Cloth-Clad Elder nodded firmly and sighed, "Within powerful clans, factional struggles are fierce, and Liu Qingwu was just a sacrifice."
The White-Clad Woman fell silent.
"You'll get used to it. With Grandpa around, none of our family members will dare to act rashly. So, Xiu'er, you should cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Nascent Soul as soon as possible. That way, Grandpa can rest in peace even in the afterlife..."
The Cloth-Clad Elder smiled gently and patted the White-Clad Woman on the shoulder with affection.
Hearing that her grandfather's tone was a little off, the White-Clad Woman became anxious, her face flushing slightly as she said, "Grandpa, you are immortal, you are eternal!"
"All cultivators die. My grandfather's lifespan will only reach the Nascent Soul Realm; everyone's lifespan is finite."
The Cloth-Clad Elder smiled slightly, his expression calm, seemingly without the slightest fear of death.
Outside Hidden Dragon Mountain, a Spirit Boat flew in.
"The Detoxification Herb we're looking for is called the Bipolar Flower, a spirit medicine with both yin and yang attributes. Like ginseng, it's mobile, so its growing environment is unpredictable. Therefore, we'll need some time to enter Hidden Dragon Mountain..."
Looking at the endless Hidden Dragon Mountain, Liu Qingwu felt her spirits lifted somewhat.
Along the way, she consumed over a hundred Detoxification Pill to barely suppress the poison in her body.
But she knew this was by no means a long-term solution.
If she can't find the Bipolar Flower, she won't live much longer.
After speaking, Liu Qingwu Law Power to conjure a strange flower with black and white colors.
"I understand, senior."
Chen Changming said solemnly.
Searching for a spirit medicine in the vast and boundless Hidden Dragon Mountain is no easy task, but the time cost is worthwhile for the sake of five hundred Heavenly Spirit Pill. On the way here, Liu Qingwu also told him that if he couldn't find the Bipolar Flower, she would not only give him the remaining Heavenly Spirit Pill before she died, but also give him Storage Ring she had on her body.
When Chen Changming heard these words, he felt quite heavy-hearted. Since entering the Immortal Realm of cultivation, he had seen all kinds of treacherous people, but a pure stream like Liu Qingwu was very rare.
Deep down, he didn't want her to die.
After the Spirit Boat flew into Hidden Dragon Mountain, it deliberately lowered its altitude. Liu Qingwu and Chen Changming looked around and carefully searched for the black and white Bipolar Flower.
Although she was a powerful cultivator at the peak of the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Liu Qingwu did not use her Divine Sense.
She was severely poisoned and extremely weak. If her Divine Sense was overexerted, she would be in serious trouble if she encountered a powerful demonic Demon Beast.
Therefore, she conserved her strength.
Chen Changming occasionally used his Divine Sense, but he held back to some extent, and Liu Qingwu did not blame him.
After searching all day long.
The two found nothing, so Liu Qingwu suggested that they stop searching for the night and let Chen Changming find a place to rest.
Chen Changming was also quite grateful.
He had been busy all day and was starving. He was looking for an opportunity to hunt down a Demon Beast and feast on it.
Finding a secluded cave, Chen Changming lit a fire, said goodbye to Liu Qingwu, and then went out alone to hunt Demon Beast.
He was very lucky. Not far from the cave entrance, he spotted a level 2, low-level Grey Rock Bear. He easily killed it with his Flying Sword and then dragged the huge Grey Rock Bear back to the cave.
"Fellow Daoist, you seem to really enjoy eating flesh and blood."
Liu Qingwu's gaze fell on the Grey Rock Bear, and she smiled meaningfully.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators don't have this kind of hobby.
