Seeing the blood-red tentacles suddenly burrow out, the Holy Mother was startled as well. However, she seemed to have been prepared; a tiny crimson bell appeared in her hand.
"Jingle, jingle..."
A crisp peal of bells rang out.
The blood-red tentacles, which had been about to attack Jin Nanwu, immediately froze upon hearing the chime. Then they slowly withdrew, vanishing into the cracks in the wall.
Jin Nanwu broke out in a cold sweat.
Those blood-red tentacles were far too powerful, far too terrifying. He was no match for them at all.
"Thank you, Holy Mother, for saving my life."
Having narrowly escaped death, Jin Nanwu, still kneeling on the ground, hastily kowtowed once more in thanks.
"Hehe, you are one of mine. How could I let you die right under my nose?"
The Holy Mother smiled faintly and tossed out a jade bottle. "Take it."
Seeing that the Holy Mother had bestowed him pills, Jin Nanwu was instantly overjoyed.
"Go back," the Holy Mother said.
Jin Nanwu offered his thanks, then turned and swiftly left the Underground Palace.

"Rebirth Pills!"
The moment he saw the three Rebirth Pills inside the jade bottle, he was beside himself with joy.
These Rebirth Pills were incredibly precious. In the Wilderness, apart from the Holy Mother, no one else could refine them.
The three Rebirth Pills he had possessed before had also been a gift from the Holy Mother.
"Thank you, Holy Mother."
Holding the jade bottle, Jin Nanwu's heart surged with emotion. Floating in midair, he still bowed from afar toward a certain direction in the valley, expressing the reverence in his heart.
