Stepping out of the cave, the sky outside seed heavy.
"Looks like a mountain rain is coming…" Zhou Sancai said.
When it cos to the climate of Bai Mountain, Zhou Sancai had quite the authority to speak. An old veteran of many years, he had long been familiar with the changing weather in the mountains.
"Should we still go down the mountain then?" Zhou Boxiong asked from the side.
Bang!
Zhou Sancai's dry tobacco pipe was knocked up again.
"You little rascal, I already said the mountain rain is coming soon. With your body like a dead pig, going downhill is asking for a fall!" Zhou Sancai said.
"Grandpa, I am your grandson, how can you call a dead pig!" Zhou Boxiong cried out, clutching his head.
"Doesn't it look accurate?" Zhou Sancai asked.
Zhou Boxiong: "..."
Alright, it seems quite vivid.
But this fatty flesh of mine, isn't it what you all have fed since I was young? Especially during the college entrance exams, I was made to eat big fish and big at every day, saying that being full gives you strength, and with strength cos good studying.
What kind of nonsense theory is that...
"Okay, then let's stay in this cave tonight." Tang Rao also agreed, he could go down the mountain at any ti, but Zhou Boxiong and Zhou Sancai couldn't. One fatso and one old man, if sothing really happened, it would indeed be quite troubleso.
Saying this, Tang Rao dragged the big bag made of Serpent Skin into the cave and also cut off a few pieces of Serpent at.
This stuff, although not very delicious, is full of vigor and can strengthen the body if eaten.
"Dead pig, co with to collect so firewood." Zhou Sancai waved Zhou Boxiong over.
"Old man, stop calling dead pig, will you?"
"If you can be as thin as Tang Rao, I'll stop calling you that."
"Fine, you can call whatever, in the end, if I am a dead pig, I'm still a descendant of the Zhou Family."
"Looking for a beating!"
After the grandfather and grandson left, Tang Rao soaked so cloth strips in Snake Oil and wrapped them around a stick to light it.
The cave instantly lit up.
Then, Tang Rao took out the Jade Box, slightly opened a crack, and fished out a blood-red fruit.
"This is worth a hundred Blood Spirit Pills." Tang Rao felt the Spiritual Energy contained within the fruit for a mont and couldn't help but feel exhilarated.
A hundred thousand units of Spiritual Energy per fruit, so nine would be nine hundred thousand.
Tang Rao had never seen this fruit before; hence, he couldn't refine it.
But nine hundred thousand units of Spiritual Energy was still quite good. At the very least, reaching the peak of Gathering Energy was certain, and perhaps, there was a slim hope of breaking through to Foundation Establishnt.
"Let's try one first." Tang Rao opened his mouth and directly tossed the red fruit in, swallowing it.
Boom!
Vast Spiritual Energy surged, filling the entire spiritual embryo.
"Damn, it even cos with Body Refinent effects, aweso!" Soon, Tang Rao discovered another effect of the fruit: tempering the body.
"This trip was really worth it." Tang Rao couldn't help but sigh.
In just a few minutes, the absorption of Spiritual Energy was nearly complete, and the tempering was almost done as well.
"Just one step away." Tang Rao muttered.
The spiritual embryo was already brimming; taking another fruit should take him to the peak of Gathering Energy.
Just as Tang Rao was about to grab the second fruit, his ears twitched slightly, and his gaze shot towards the cave entrance.
White robe, white hair, a white Longsword.
"Who are you?" After staring at each other for three seconds, they asked simultaneously.
Then silence ensued.
Dim yellow flickering flas, deep and eerie mountain cave.
"Yin Yang Valley, Bai Lian." The woman suddenly spoke, revealing an identity that sowhat surprised Tang Rao.
Yin Yang Valley, why is it always Yin Yang Valley? It wouldn't be soone here to trouble him, would it?
But speaking of which, this Bai Lian really had an impressive presence, standing at a height of one ter seventy, strikingly tall. Especially that face, as cold as ice and breathtakingly beautiful, like a masterpiece sculpted by a great artist without a single flaw.
Accompanied by all-white clothing and long white hair, she truly appeared ethereal and painting-like in her beauty.
"I am... Tang Rao, a tourist." A few seconds later, Tang Rao uttered a few words.
Bai Lian was clearly startled, her eyes slightly narrowed.
"If you're a tourist, why stay here? Why not descend the mountain?" Bai Lian asked coldly.
"I'm injured, and it's about to rain, descending is dangerous, I'll leave tomorrow." Tang Rao pointed to himself, still wearing his previous clothes.
Due to the battle with the Serpent, they were already torn and bloodstained.
"How did you get injured?" Bai Lian continued to ask, walking into the cave as she did so.
"I wasn't careful when I ca here, I fell." Tang Rao spoke calmly and seriously.
This woman, like Chu Lisen, was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishnt.
But her fighting power would definitely far exceed Chu Lisen's. After all, Chu Lisen belonged to the Wangu Sect, whose focus was on cultivating Gu Worms.
"Hmm, you don't mind taking shelter from the rain here, do you?" Bai Lian looked at Tang Rao and asked.
"Feel free." Tang Rao nodded, discreetly hiding the Jade Box in his hand.
Bai Lian said nothing more, removed her Longsword from her waist, found a Stone to sit on lightly, half-closing her eyes.
The two kept a distance of about twenty ters from each other, each sitting and contemplating their own matters.
Tang Rao didn't think that Bai Lian hadn't any suspicions, the Serpent Blood on the slope, the burning Serpent Oil in the cave, the Serpent skin bag placed aside, all these were giveaways.
But Tang Rao didn't know what Bai Lian was planning. Waiting for an opportunity? Or simply seeking shelter from the rain?
"Has the bleeding stopped?" After so ti, Bai Lian suddenly spoke.
"It has." Tang Rao looked up at Bai Lian.
"That's good." Bai Lian acknowledged, "This area is not very peaceful, be careful when you descend the mountain tomorrow."
"Alright. By the way, you just said you're from Yin Yang Valley; what does that an? Is it a place in Bo Mountain?" Tang Rao asked, his face showing curiosity.
"We... You can think of us as guardians of Bo Mountain." Bai Lian said.
"Wow, that sounds quite mysterious." Tang Rao laughed, he hadn't expected Yin Yang Valley's base to actually be in Bo Mountain.
"That's a joke, compared to mysteries, you're beyond comparison, even able to kill a Fierce Beast at the peak of Foundation Establishnt." Bai Lian propped her hand on the sword, her eyes suddenly brightening.
As expected!
"Indeed, it's quite difficult to kill; are you here to claim a share?" Tang Rao didn't deny it, staring straight at Bai Lian.
The atmosphere suddenly turned strange, with an urgent tension as if a battle was imminent.
"You misunderstand, senior." Bai Lian's gaze softened, shaking her head.
Compared to him, Bai Lian was much more nervous at this mont.
The fact that he could slay a Serpent at the peak of Foundation Establishnt ant he was terrifyingly strong. She, being at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishnt, had no way to resist.
She had boldly entered here out of desperation, as she needed certain things from the Serpent.
Hearing Bai Lian addressing him as a senior, the corners of Tang Rao's mouth lifted slightly.
Alright, you'll treat as a senior, then I'll accept the role of senior.
"If possible, I would like to ask the senior for so Serpent Essence Blood. I... need it to save soone." Bai Lian inhaled deeply, tensed.
"Serpent Essence Blood, you certainly have a knack for requesting items." Tang Rao took out a porcelain bottle, which contained Serpent Blood.
From such a massive Serpent, only three small porcelain bottles were filled with Essence Blood.
"I can give it to you, but... you'll have to do sothing for in return." Tang Rao grinned, shaking the small bottle in his hand.
