"Haha! Brother Xu will definitely curse us for being stingy on his way back."
As soon as Xu Chengxian left, Hong Lie couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hmph, let him say what he wants!" Hei Jiao also couldn't help but smile.
Anyway, even if they didn't make a profit this time, just seeing the Flower Snake fail was worth being happy about.
What's more, there were also those pills.
Transformation Pills, such good Transformation Pills.
If given to the clan, they might be able to nurture two or three more Great Demons in a dozen years.
As for the Spirit Replenishing Pills, after buying them, he could at least get a small half.
Great Demon Peak Realm!
If all goes well, the Great Demon Peak Realm, which would have originally taken ten years to reach, might be within reach in three to five years!
Wasn't that something to be happy about?
So, he took out a pot of wine.
He filled a cup and threw it to Hong Lie, saying, "You fire-playing guy, you're taking advantage of everything."
"I treated the Flower Snake once, and now I have to treat you to wine."
"Then, you don't want to treat me?" Hong Lie raised an eyebrow.
"If I don't treat you, what kind of boring wine would a certain demon be drinking?" Hei Jiao snorted, "Why don't you take out your dishes and drinks so we can have a drink together?"
"Haha! I have, I have!" Hong Lie smiled and waved his sleeve across the stone table, filling it with dishes and drinks.
There was meat and vegetables, which looked quite plentiful.
Hei Jiao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "That Flower Snake, I asked him to stay and sit for a while, but he refused. If he had sat down, wouldn't he have had a share of this good wine and food?"
"He's in a hurry to go back, how could he be in the mood to drink?" Hong Lie raised his hand and drank the spirit-filled wine in his cup, "Didn't you notice that he forgot to ask you for a big fight today?"
"Notice what?"
"They're probably going to leave this Water-Avoiding Demon Marquis Mansion and go to the next place."
"Hmm?" Hei Jiao was stunned, "Where are they going?"
If he said that, then they definitely weren't going home.
So, where were they going?
"Look at the pills he sold us." Hong Lie took out a small jade bottle.
Inside were Barrier Breaking Pills.
"This Purple Flame Barrier Breaking Pill, no wonder it dares to be called Purple Flame, the quality is excellent." Hei Jiao commented, "Only top-grade Barrier Breaking Pills have this slightly purple spiritual light."
The pill was Yellow Grade and had eight spiritual patterns.
That was Yellow Grade, Eighth Rank.
"White and green are low, vermilion and purple are noble. One spiritual pattern is one rank."
"One rank is complete, three ranks are low, five ranks are medium, seven ranks are high, eight ranks are superior, and nine ranks are extreme." He emptied the wine in his cup and refilled it for Hong Lie and himself, saying as he poured.
"Ling Yunzi's pill art is indeed quite remarkable!"
"That's right. So, the fact that it can reach Yellow Grade is thanks to the dragon blood and the extraordinary skills of the alchemist." Hei Jiao nodded.
Then he smiled and said, "It is because the quality of these pills is rare, so even though I have no plans to travel far in the near future, I still bought one."
Stocking them up to take back, even if he didn't use them himself, he wouldn't have to worry about exchanging them with others.
"I say, fire-playing guy, you actually wanted two. Do you have some opportunity to pursue?"
Hei Jiao revealed a teasing smile after saying the last sentence.
It was clear that he didn't intentionally want to inquire, but was just making a joke.
How could one casually tell others about opportunities?
So, Hong Lie could just gloss over it if he didn't want to say, without really answering him.
But he saw Hong Lie slightly shake his head and smile at him, "It's not me who's going on a long journey, it's someone else. Now that I've said this, can you guess who it is?"
"...Is there even a need to guess?" Hei Jiao was stunned, then smiled, "No wonder he brought so many pills to sell today, it seems he's leaving soon."
If his family hadn't sent a batch of spirit stones, he wouldn't have been able to buy them.
Barrier Breaking Pills, as the name suggests, are pills used to break through obstacles.
They are very useful when breaking through small realms.
They are also very useful in places where the chaotic energy doesn't dissipate, or in swamps where mirages rise.
Speaking of which, if the last few pills that Xu Chengxian took out were used together, they could ensure that one would be less disturbed when traveling outside.
So, Hong Lie was probably right in saying that they were going on a long journey.
He could even roughly guess where they were going.
The Northern Demon Region, the Emperor's Tomb.
"The Emperor's Tomb, which is constantly eroded by the seawater of the Endless Sea, is impossible to traverse without these pills." Hei Jiao smiled, "Since you and I are not going there, let's use this cup of wine to wish the Flower Snake a smooth journey!"
"Wait a moment." Hong Lie raised his hand to stop him, "I have a deal here that makes a lot of spirit stones, do you want it?"
"Hmm? Tell me about it!"
...
"You're back."
As soon as Xu Chengxian entered the courtyard where he lived, he received Ling Xiao's voice transmission.
"Yes, I'm back."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chengxian immediately turned around, turned a corner, and went to her room, placing the bag he was holding on the table.
"The pills have been sold, these spirit stones are for you."
He didn't have a storage bag.
Even if he did, there would be no place to put it. He couldn't possibly tie it around his neck like a baby's bib.
Anyway, with his stomach, he simply sent everything else to Ling Xiao, letting her be the big housekeeper.
The Empress-brand big housekeeper, how impressive!
"That's just as well. Not long after you left, Prime Minister Turtle came by." Ling Xiao glanced at the spirit stones and said.
Prime Minister Turtle came to deliver the teleportation符.
This teleportation符, of course, was not the teleportation符 for entering the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
It was just a teleportation符 to the nearest teleportation point outside the Imperial Tomb in the Northern Demon Region through the teleportation array.
With the teleportation符, one had the qualification to activate the teleportation array.
However, after activating the teleportation array, one also needed to 'insert coins,' that is, invest spirit stones, in order to teleport.
So, what she meant by 'just as well' was, of course, that the spirit stones had come at just the right time.
"Won't they all be used up?" Xu Chengxian felt a little heartache.
If all of these mid-grade spirit stones were used for cultivation, with Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi's abilities, it was estimated that they would be enough for one of them to cultivate to the peak realm.
All used as travel expenses?
Wasn't that too expensive!
"Not that much will be used." Ling Xiao waved her hand, "What do you think mid-grade spirit stones are?"
If three Great Demon Realm cultivators needed to consume so much, then probably no one would be willing to use this teleportation array.
"Two pieces per person is enough."
"That's still quite expensive." Xu Chengxian smacked his lips.
"Sitting on the Lingdu Flying Boat is cheaper, one hundred low-grade spirit stones."
"Then we..."
"But it takes a month to get there."
"...Let's still take the teleportation array."
It would only arrive after a month?
Then they would only be able to snatch the 'key' from others.
The key point was that they were unfamiliar with the place, and their cultivation strength was not dominant.
It was hard to say whether they would rob others or be robbed.
"I'm going back to cultivate." Xu Chengxian left a sentence, which, in Ling Xiao's ears, was 'I'm going back to sleep,' and turned to return to his room.
As soon as he opened the door, he felt something was wrong.
There was another demon in the room!
Then, his eyes blurred.
"Damn it!?"
This feeling.
It felt familiar!
