Qinglin Mountain, west of Beizhou Continent.

The distant skyline is set against the azure sky, with a few pure white clouds dancing in the air. Birds fly through the clouds, spreading their wings in the glow of the sunset and flying freely among the clouds.

The forest is dense and shady, the stream is gurgling, and the waterfall can be seen from afar, rushing down.

The bird swept through the dense forest, passed over the stream, and flew through the waterfall, leaving a graceful arc in the air. Finally, it landed on a branch, shaking its wet little body and looking up at the mountain top under the setting sun.

After seeing this scenery, Xu Yeyu slowly shifted his gaze from the distance to the strange girl in front of him.

She was dressed in a white dress, as pure and flawless as a snowflake, with a piece of emerald green jade hanging around her waist, emitting a warm light. In the afterglow of the setting sun, her figure looked particularly beautiful and her eyes revealed a pure aura.

"What's the matter, young lady?"

He picked up the kettle and took a sip, revealing a satisfied look. This was the tea he had ordered today at a restaurant in Fengya Town. The tea in that restaurant had been replaced with new ones, which tasted better than the one he had a few days ago.

This girl must need his help with something, so she appears here. A stranger looking for you can't be coming to confess her love to you, this is just an illusion.

With Xia Xiaomo's eyesight, she could naturally see clearly that the kettle contained tea, not ordinary water or wine. She had never seen anyone drink tea from a kettle. Usually, people would use a teacup to slowly sip the tea.

She asked curiously, "My fellow Taoist, why are you drinking tea from a kettle?"

"Girl, you don't know that this tea is free. You can get a pot of tea to take away after dinner. And today's tea is especially delicious. I'm going to that restaurant again tomorrow. I hope they still have this kind of tea."

She looked at the man deeply, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly. She had something to say but didn't know how to say it. After a long silence, she felt that it was not necessary to discuss the reason, so she told him the purpose of this trip.

"I have a favor to ask of you. The reward is negotiable."

"Girl, tell me what's going on first, and then I'll decide whether to help or not."

If it's beyond his ability, he can't help. If it's too much trouble, he can't help either, unless you give him too much.

"I would like you to help me find something on the fourth floor of the Great Tomb Secret Realm."

The Great Tomb is a secret realm that suddenly appeared three years ago. The leaders of all the major sects sensed something and sent out their best warriors, but due to the rules set by the tomb owner, they were unable to enter the secret realm of the tomb.

Cultivators whose realm is higher than the fourth realm, the Golden Core Stage, will be suppressed into mortals by the rules when they enter the first level of the Great Tomb Secret Realm, and will be unable to break through its restrictions.

After that, all the major sects had to reach an agreement, allowing new disciples to enter the sect as a training ground, and then issuing treasure hunting missions. Anyone who could obtain rare treasures or clues to the owner of the tomb could be exchanged for a considerable reward from the sect.

During the past three years, they have explored the first three levels of the tomb, but have never brought back any information about the fourth level. Only a few disciples of the sect were able to come out alive from the fourth level of the tomb.

Xu Yeyu glanced at the girl's scabbard without a sword, and recalled his previous experience in the secret realm of the tomb. There was indeed a sword in the fourth layer.

"Girl, are you here for that sword?"

The girl's eyes lit up. The person in front of her really knew about the sword. No one had ever revealed the information about the fourth level. Why would this person know about this sword?

"I did come here for the sword. I heard from my senior brothers in the sect that you were his teammate at the time."

A month ago, there was a treasure hunt organized by a group of casual cultivators. A senior brother of Xia Xiaomo returned from the secret realm of the great tomb, but he was missing an arm. From him, I heard that he was rescued by a teammate, who was Xu Yeyu.

The monsters and tomb-guarding spirits in the tomb are endless and cannot be killed. At first, the disciples of various major sects formed an alliance to try to clear them out, but when the next day came, all the monsters would revive again, and the tomb seemed to be cursed.

Xia Xiaomo went to the gathering place of independent cultivators to ask, and learned that Xu Yeyu had never been injured in his three visits to the tomb, and someone even invited him to join the fourth visit.

But he didn't agree.

This secret realm has a rule that it can only be entered once a month. Xu Yeyu calculated that today is the right time to enter.

"Girl, I can help you with this, but the fee may be a bit high. I wonder what you can offer as a reward?"

After all, the other party is a monk, he probably wouldn't mind a higher reward.

She gently touched the bracelet on her left wrist. The surface of the bracelet was inlaid with an exquisite gem, and inside it was an exciting sword intent. This was the reward for her first mission.

"Can this be your reward?"

She knew how rare this sword bracelet was. The outer sect elders all praised her sword bracelet. She knew that asking for help came at a price. If she could get the sword, she would accept this sword bracelet as a reward.

Xu Yeyu glanced at the sword bracelet, and the girl felt that his eyes were a little strange, as if there was a hint of disgust.

"You may not know, but I'm a little tight on money lately. It would be great if I could get some silver as a reward."

It’s not that Xu Yeyu looked down on this bracelet, it’s because he was running out of money to eat and wanted silver more. He could only use this sword bracelet to exchange for spirit stones from other cultivators, but he didn’t know where to exchange the spirit stones for silver. Few cultivators carried silver with them. As far as he knew, some cultivators had some silver, but it was just a small amount, not enough for one or two meals.

He had only been in this world for half a year and had no stable residence. When he had more money, he would choose to stay in an inn. The reason why he was in the woods now was because he didn't have much money and planned to sleep on a tree in the woods for one night.

Then this girl came over.

Xia Xiaomo looked at Xu Yeyu with a complicated expression, as if to confirm whether he was joking. Don't cultivators trade with magic weapons and spirit stones, or barter? Why did he use silver?

"Are you sure you only need silver and nothing else?"

"This must be true, absolutely true." He touched the back of his head, "Girl, I'm running out of money to eat. I can't even get enough to eat, so why would I think about anything else?"

The girl was confused after hearing this. She thought for a moment and said, "A cultivator doesn't need to eat, right? Even those who have just embarked on the path to immortality don't need to eat every day."

Although she was used to cooking a meal every day, which was her old habit, she took out a bag full of silver from her storage ring. This was all the silver she had now.

"Is there such a thing?"

Xu Yeyu showed a surprised expression. Is it possible for a monk to not eat?

Why has no one ever told him? No wonder since he became a monk, he didn’t seem to be very hungry even after not eating for a long time.

Xu Yeyu then remembered that the teammates who went into the tomb with him before did not eat to solve the problem of hunger. At that time, he thought that these teammates had very good stomachs and could withstand not eating for several days. If this girl had not mentioned this, he would not have noticed it.

"After a cultivator reaches the third level of the Foundation Breaking Realm, he only needs to breathe in spiritual energy to practice fasting." Xia Xiaomo looked at this casual cultivator who lacked common sense. "Cultivators at a lower level can eat fasting pills to solve the problem of hunger. A casual cultivator should know this, right?"

Who says that independent practitioners must know all this? Who made the rule?

She took out a fasting pill and put it into Xu Yeyu's hand along with some silver.

"This is the Bigu Pill. If you take one Bigu Pill, you can go without food for several days."

Xu Yeyu knew that this kind of pill was called elixir. He had heard about it from his teammates who had gone into the tomb several times before. He also had a few elixirs obtained from the secret realm of the tomb in his storage ring, but he had never eaten them.

It turned out that his previous teammates took this pill to solve the problem of hunger. He suddenly realized.

Xu Yeyu put the fasting pill into his mouth. As the pill broke, he felt it was a bit bitter. His face changed because he didn't like to eat bitter things.

It doesn't taste good at all. Who would like to eat bitter food? Those monks actually choose to eat this kind of thing. He didn't want to eat it a second time after eating it once.

"Are these coins enough?"

The girl gave the reward to Xu Yeyu in advance. For a cultivator like her, silver was not a valuable thing. She planned to give the reward in advance to better gain the favor of others.

Xu Yeyu knew there was quite a lot of silver inside without even opening it. The weight was not simple, at least a hundred taels. This amount of silver was enough for him to eat and drink lavishly for a while, and also to stay in a hotel for many days.

"That's enough, girl."

When Xia Xiaomo heard this answer, she still found it incredible. She looked up at the sky. The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, and the warm tones of the sky gradually faded, preparing to welcome the arrival of night.

There's no such thing as a pie in the sky. What's going on?

"Girl, I haven't asked you your name yet. My name is Xu Yeyu, Xu for wishing, Ye for night, and Yu for raining."

"Xia Xiaomo, Xia in summer, Xiao in big and small, Sanshuimo."

"Let's have a meal before we go. I'll treat you!"

He really couldn't stand the taste of the fasting pills, so he might as well buy some dry food to eat in the secret realm of the tomb.

Xia Xiaomo curled the corner of her mouth and said, "You took the silver I gave you and treated me to a meal. Why does it sound so strange?"
