Chapter 165 Good-for-Nothing

At that very moment, the phoenix pattern on the large cauldron suddenly lit up, and a wave of scorching flames spewed out from it. The flames instantly turned the cauldron glowing red, and the first-rank elemental core inside melted without a trace in an instant.

A stream of white liquid and two clusters of emerald-green liquid...

Following Gu Jiang's words, a trace of sorrow surfaced on the faces of those who had intended to follow Guo Jie and the others into the Mountain of Spiritual Qi. Though somewhat reluctant, under Gu Jiang's stern authority, they had no choice but to obey.

At this thought, a mystery within his own mind was unraveled: even though the Split-headed Ghost possessed the condensation of ten souls and its starting point in cultivation was higher than that of ordinary ghosts and demons, it had only come into existence a few years ago. He had previously wondered why it possessed such formidable cultivation. Now he finally understood that it was entirely due to feeding on massive quantities of ghost-sucking worms every day.

For an entire day, Granny Li and Old Man Li helped out around here, organizing the shop. Yue'e and Yuejiao were soaking soybeans, while Granny Li carried a load of fodder to the backyard to feed the donkey, counting on it to put its back into turning the millstone early tomorrow morning.

She felt as though time was passing exceptionally slowly. People constantly came up to her asking to take photos, and she cooperated with a smile every single time.

"That's about enough." Ye Shaoyang thought for a moment, decided against applying a fourth talisman, and stepped back. He formed the opening hand seal of the Six Jia Secret Incantation: the Great Peng Golden-Winged King Seal.

"What's wrong with that? Just as you said, he doesn't have absolute certainty either. He might work hard for a while and end up gaining nothing, and there's even a chance he could offend the Zhou family. But as for me, success or failure alike, I will still compensate him. So naturally, he chose to let me step forward," said Li Jinfeng.

Ending this meeting, which seemed utterly tedious to Jia Yuejing, he walked ahead, while Yin Xian was arm-in-arm with Wang Mei behind them.

"People aren't necessary. Just leave the items behind, and we'll handle it ourselves," Ye Shaoyang instructed. In a matter like this, the fewer people involved, the better.

As for Yan Sha and Wen Lan standing nearby, they were utterly dumbfounded. Wasn't that item a millennium-old blood ginseng? How did it inexplicably turn into celestial dew?

Although her gaming skills were quite good, in Zhao Zilong's eyes, they didn't amount to much. When the game reached a critical moment, Zhao Zilong couldn't help offering pointers, causing Qin Xia to cast sideways glances at him in surprise.

"They're just two helpers." Han Yuqing was truly fearless, charging straight outside despite everyone trying to pull her back.

A surge of joy welled up in Qin Yi's heart; if the people here were all fleeing for their lives, perhaps Sima Fu was among them.

Ah, that's right! Didn't he obtain a unique title called [This Road Was Opened By Me] last time? It seemed to be restricted for use in Al De Baran. Let's give it a try! He Xi opened the title interface and activated [This Road Was Opened By Me].

Very well. Since they wanted to capture him, there was no need for excessive action or the tremendous time and effort required in Tiandu City. He had delivered himself right to their doorstep, straight to Liangzhao Mountain. Presumably, the Yiyan Hall had already made detailed deployments here. To capture him right on the spot—only by doing this could he get close to Shining and stand a chance of rescuing him.

Bao Yun wore an apologetic expression and scratched his head. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly froze, because he saw Chu Xinghan's hair glowing as red as fire, his entire body crackling with lightning, and an aura as mighty as that of a ghost or deity.

He had oversimplified the matter, assuming he could enter through the front door and slip out the back, so he quietly gave the man in black a look, signaling him to cooperate. How could the man in black possibly agree? He knew he had run into a tough opponent today and had been trying to find a way to escape all along. If Chen Kai hadn't been watching him closely, he might have bolted already.

One's knees could hardly be called the most fragile part of the body, but to him, it was a rather crucial area. If he were to attack other parts instead, the results might not be very ideal.

"Is that so... If it is something I can do, then of course I will do it unconditionally. Let me see it first then." Saying this, Lian had already retrieved the soul of Elfna from her own hand.
