The woman in white and the young man in yellow are none other than Yu Ruoxi and Luo Hong who were returning from Wushan.
The two of them were supposed to part ways here in Shanyang City and go back to their respective sects, but Yu Ruoxi suddenly asked Luo Hong to accompany her to taste new tea, so she forcefully brought him to Qingxin Tea Garden.
Bearing the strange looks from the two immortal cultivators who gave way to the pavilion, Luo Hong sat down feeling a little guilty, took a clean cup, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it.
Huh? This tea is good and suits me very well!
Luo Hong smacked his mouth and wanted to pour another cup. However, he noticed the strange look in Yu Ruoxi's eyes and had to put down the teapot angrily.
This kid doesn't really think I'm here to invite him to tea, does he?
How can a person who lacks wood in the five elements be so dull?
Yu Ruoxi was inexplicably upset. There were many things she wanted to say, but she was no longer in the mood to say them.
She turned her palm over, and a pill exuding a strong medicinal fragrance appeared in her palm.
"Take this Foundation Establishment Pill as a way of thanking you for saving my life."
The woman was so upset that I spent so much time worrying about this, and it made me panic for so long.
Luo Hong relaxed immediately. As long as Yu Ruoxi didn't raise her sword to chop him, he could say anything.
"This junior has collected the corpse of a level 3 monster and has gained a lot. Senior does not need to make any additional compensation."
"That is an apology from the five Wushan families. It has nothing to do with me. If you save my life, I will give you a chance to build a foundation and change your life."
Yu Ruoxi couldn't resist and stretched out her palm in front of Luo Hong, as if she was determined to return the favor of saving her life.
Regarding the mountain-shaking python that suddenly emerged, Zhao Qingling had a secret conversation with Luo Hong once when they were at the Zhao family.
The other party hoped that he could keep the matter a secret, so that they could no longer pursue the four monster spirits that disappeared from Qian Tianbao's body.
Luo Hong agreed after hesitating, partly because he himself hoped to make a fortune silently, and partly because he sensed that the Hidden Moon Sect had intervened in the matter.
Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship between Yu Ruoxi and Zhao Qingling was, she would not be able to react at all after encountering a disaster that almost resulted in her death. The two must have reached some kind of behind-the-scenes deal.
Picking up this foundation-building pill that countless cultivators in the Qi-refining stage flocked to, Luo Hong felt very calm, but was a little curious about its taste. After all, it looked a lot like Mai Lisu.
Wait, if I accept this Foundation Establishment Pill, won't it mean I'm on the same page with Yu Ruoxi? What if she regains her memory in the future and comes to chop me with a sword? My cultivation level cannot surpass hers in a short period of time.
No, she must owe me something, otherwise I will always feel uneasy.
"Actually, senior should also have a share of the mountain-shaking python. Today, senior gave me the Foundation Establishment Pill as a gift, but this junior has no shame in taking it all to himself."
Luo Hong took out a small bottle specially used to hold spiritual liquid and gently placed it on the table in front of Yu Ruoxi.
"I told you that the Foundation Establishment Pill is... hmm? It's... one yuan of heavy water!"
Yu Ruoxi immediately suppressed the words of rejection that were on her lips. One yuan of heavy water is a rare spiritual material that can be used to refine magic weapons, which is what she urgently needs right now.
"It's this spiritual liquid that the juniors can't use anyway, so they're all given to the seniors."
Luo Hong thought that all he needed was the silver rune. When he went back and dissected the body of the mountain-shaking python and cracked the secret of its ability to condense one yuan of heavy water, he would have as many spiritual objects as he wanted.
"There's something fishy about you kid."
Yu Ruoxi looked at Luo Hong carefully for a while, then maybe she felt that she was too sensitive, so she looked away with a chuckle and put the small purification bottle into the storage bag.
"This thing is of great use to me. Since you are willing to give it up, I will accept it without mercy."
Yu Ruoxi stood up, took out her magic weapon and flew into the air, leaving a message before leaving:
"I will go into seclusion to formulate elixirs when I return this time. I hope that when I come out of seclusion, your boy will already be a foundation-building monk."
Luo Hong watched the beauty fly away quickly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. This was the first time in his two lives that he felt this way about a woman.
"It's time to go back."
Soon after Luo Hong Yuqi left, Huang and Song returned to the tea pavilion. They looked at the tea sets that had been moved on the table and were speechless for a long time.
"Brother Huang, if I read correctly, that young man is just a Qi-refining period disciple of Huang Maple Valley, and his appearance is...how did he gain the favor of that senior?"
The scholar surnamed Song has long passed the age of strength, and at this time, he was almost going crazy with envy and jealousy.
"Brother Huang?"
When he received no response, the scribe named Song tapped his old friend on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Brother Song Xian, but I was distracted by my thoughts just now. For the matter that Brother Xian just entrusted to me, can you change the candidate? I think the Great Nephew might be more suitable."
"Why? My eldest son is mediocre in appearance. How can he stand out if he goes to the Biyue Sect where all the handsome men and beauties are there?"
"My dear brother, what do you think of the appearance of the Huang Maple Valley disciple just now? Apart from being fairer, there is nothing to be said about him.
Brother Wei, I wonder if the female cultivators of the Hidden Moon Sect are used to seeing handsome men, so they pay more attention to people with ordinary looks. My dear brother, you might as well give it a try."
"this....."
Although the scholar surnamed Song felt that his brother's statement was extremely unreliable, he had just seen a real successful example, so he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
Naturally, Luo Hong didn't know that his short stay would actually affect the lives of the two immortal cultivators. After running away for more than ten days, he returned to Fanghua Garden.
"Sir, is this trip going well?"
Mr. Zhuo came up to him immediately and asked with concern.
"There are losses and gains. Will the garden be safe these days when I leave?"
Converting the loss of blue round grains into Yulong wine, Luo Hong lost about 150 kilograms of Yulong wine during this trip, which was a heavy loss.
However, the completion of the Ice Muscle Chapter and the unexpectedly crafted Jade Bone Chapter not only laid the foundation for Luo Hong's great path, but also allowed his physical cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. When he thought of the jade slip that recorded the Great Five Elements Holy Secret, Luo Hong
Hong's heart no longer hurts so much.
Not to mention that there was a whole corpse of a level three monster waiting for Luo Hong to study, but the expected results made him filled with joy.
Therefore, Luo Hong couldn't tell whether he was losing or making a profit this time.
"Since the young master became Elder Li's registered disciple, I have never been spied on secretly by anyone. I think those young men were so frightened that they put away their claws." Elder Zhuo replied with his hand in hand.
"Well, all my efforts are not in vain. By the way, Mr. Zhuo, your martial arts may be ranked among the best in the world?"
The feeling of being beaten by a demonized monk who was unable to fight back due to his martial arts cultivation was too uncomfortable. Luo Hong hoped to make up for this shortcoming of his as soon as possible.
"Why did the young master think of asking this? I asked myself that he is second to none in the world of Yue Kingdom. When he was young, he even earned the title of 'Extraordinary Boxing Saint'. But compared to a cultivator like the young master, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, it is useless.
The fist that has been refined through decades of hard training cannot even break the protective spiritual shield casually released by the immortal cultivators during the Qi refining period."
Before meeting Luo Hong, Mr. Zhuo had put aside the disputes in the world and lived in seclusion in the market as a winemaker. But now when he talked about the gap between secular warriors and immortal cultivators, he smiled bitterly because of the cruel reality.
