"You're going out to look for Primordial Chaos Pills?" Liu Xian'er froze at his words and asked in surprise, "But the Primordial Chaos Immortal's cave abode was destroyed. Where would you find any Primordial Chaos Pills?"
"To be precise, I'm looking for the ingredients for Primordial Chaos Pills!" Li Xiaoya explained. Seeing that Liu Xian'er still looked puzzled, he hurried on, "Senior Sister Zhang Hong can't be freed from the ice because of her heart demon, but once she's released, she'll need to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm just like us.

"I... I wasn't talking about that!"
