After thinking about it, He Ling roughly understood that Lishuijian was not a good place, otherwise Shilinshan would not have run back in such a hurry.

But for He Ling, this is good news. With He Ling's current strength, with five foundation-building fighters, she doesn't believe that a mere mosquito or beast can pose a threat to her.

In addition, since he used Baoquan to build his own power, the more remote the place, the better.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Both brothers have worked so hard. How about this? I don't think we need to rotate guard duty at Lishui Gorge. I can guard it alone, and I'll leave Qingshi City to you two brothers."

After hearing this, Shi Linshan remained silent, but Qu Fu became excited. "Junior Sister! Are you serious? Once you say it, you can't change it!"

Shi Linshan's eyes flashed. He immediately knew that this new sister must not know much about Lishuijian and thought it was an ordinary place. That's why she took on this difficult task. With such a great opportunity, she couldn't take it back! He immediately said, "Brother, what are you talking about? People in Xuanyuan Sect value their promises the most. What this sister says is definitely the best."

He Ling knew that these two had taken advantage of him, and he also had a general idea of their personalities. He didn't want to say anything more at this moment, "Brother Shi, take me to Lishuijian."

Shi Linshan laughed and said, "Junior sister, I've worked hard guarding the tree. For such a small matter as leading the way, I can just find someone at random."

He Ling nodded and said no more.

Shi Linshan gave a few instructions, and then a man in a green robe came over. Shi Linshan said a few words to him, and he looked sad.

But after a moment, he came to He Ling with a smile on his face again.

"Master, I will take you to Lishui Stream."

As soon as he raised his foot, the Stone Forest Mountain made another sound.

"Junior sister, wait."

He Ling's expression remained unchanged, but a warm look appeared in his eyes.

Although He Ling said directly that there would be no rotation due to various considerations, anyone with a discerning eye could see that these two old guys were obviously taking advantage of him. He Ling really didn't like this feeling. It would be fine if you were strong, but she is just in the early stage of foundation building. Do you really think she is weak and can be bullied?

She turned around, this time with a hint of a smile on her face, "Brother, is there anything else I can do for you?"

Shi Linshan laughed, "Junior sister, you don't know this. During the time you were away, my brother and I persevered. Not only did we have no time to practice, but we also used up all the spirit stones we had. Junior sister, you came from the sect, so you should have plenty of spirit stones on you. My brother and I are guarding Qingshi City, which is very dangerous. Junior sister, why don't you lend us some spirit stones so that we can be prepared for any emergency?"

"Borrow?" He Ling laughed. "Brother, you're such a jokester. I've only just met you, right? It would be a bit too hasty to lend it to you."

"Hey, Junior Sister, we are guarding this place together. We will definitely be as close as brothers in the future. Even though we just met, it's worth borrowing a few spirit stones from you brothers."

As soon as these words were spoken, Tu Lu and others behind He Ling were all filled with indignation. This old Deng was too shameless in what he said.

However, before they set off, He Ling reminded them to follow her instructions in everything, and said that the outside world was different from Tianning Market. If anyone impulsively delayed He Ling's business, she would show no mercy.

As for how to be merciless, they don't know and don't want to know.

He Ling still had a smile on her face, but her tone was extremely cold.

"Shi Linshan, I'm just calling you Senior Brother because I'm new here. Do you really think you're that important? Anyone who can come here must have joined Xuanyuan Sect halfway through their career. Why are you pretending in front of me? Do you really think I'll give you face?"

Shi Linshan's face turned red instantly. He Ling was right. Anyone who could come to such a remote place could not be a disciple of a big sect. He just saw that He Ling was so easy to talk to, and he became greedy for a moment. In this Nanli land, there was a shortage of spiritual energy and naturally few spiritual objects. If he could cheat some spiritual stones from this new junior sister, it would be good. Even if she didn't lend them, he would not lose anything.

As for paying back, why should I pay back if I borrowed it with my own ability?

But he never expected that this seemingly gentle junior sister could be so ruthless when she spoke.

"you!"

He Ling's expression turned completely cold. "What do you mean by 'you'? Shi Linshan, you still want to fight me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flew into He Ling's palm and instantly turned into a three-foot flaming sword. The red flames directly rushed across the roof, dyeing the surroundings red.

He Ling knew that the more scarce the resources were, the more intense the competition for them would be. If she didn't show some ruthlessness, these two old men would really think she was easy to bully.

Seeing that the situation was about to develop into a fight, Qu Fu hurried over to smooth things over. "You two, you are both disciples of Xuanyuan Sect. It's just a small matter. I think we can just let it go."

Shi Linshan looked at the raging flames, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He was only in the initial stage of foundation building, and he would not gain anything if he really fought.

"Hmph, since Senior Brother has said so, I'm not a stingy person, so I won't bother with you."

"You said you don't care? I've changed my mind. Lishuijian is obviously not a good place. I'm guarding it for you now. You have to compensate me with spirit stones."

"Impossible!" Shi Linshan shouted immediately.

Qu Fu also frowned, "Junior sister, before this, it was only me and my junior brother who were guarding Lishui Gorge. And it was you who suggested guarding Lishui Gorge all the time."

"Qing'er." He Ling didn't want to say more and just called out.

A green light shot out from He Ling's sleeve, and after spinning in the air, it turned into a hundred-foot-long snake. The snake coiled its body, surrounding the entire attic and the yard in the middle. The scarlet snake tongue spit out, and its golden pupils stared at the two of them.

Tuba, Tulu, and Wen Moren also received the signal at this moment and surrounded the two from different directions.

He Ling, holding a flaming sword, pointed it at them and said, "You have two choices now. Either pay the spirit stone obediently, or I will beat you until you pay the spirit stone."

Qu Fu took one look at the giant snake and was shocked. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Foundation-building spirit beast!"

He looked at the people surrounding him and the pale-faced Shi Linshan beside him, and his face suddenly became bitter. Then he looked at Shi Linshan fiercely.

You bastard! They were about to leave, but you insisted on borrowing some spirit stones. Now, you've ended up losing more than you gained.

Shi Linshan was also panicking at this moment. He didn't expect that this person, who was also a registered foundation-building disciple, actually had a foundation-building spirit beast. Moreover, the auras of the people he brought with him were also very hidden. They were at least in the late stage of Qi training. If they fought, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.

He looked at Qu Fu, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, and said, "Brother, you are already in the middle stage of foundation building. Are you still afraid of them?"

Qu Fu didn't want to pay any attention to this bastard at the moment. He wanted to persuade him a few more times, but for some reason, two of the three people surrounding him also gave off a dangerous aura, only slightly weaker than his junior sister and her green snake spirit beast in front of him. His spiritual perception has always been very sensitive, and he realized in an instant that he was definitely no match for them.

"Junior sister, how many spirit stones do you want?"

"Brother! You really gave it to me!"

He Ling was also a little surprised. She thought that there would be a fight today and was thinking about how to deal with them. As for failure, there was no possibility at all.

"How about this, each person will receive 1,000 spirit stones per year, starting from ten years, and we'll call it a day."

"Ten thousand spirit stones?" Qu Fu breathed a sigh of relief. For a cultivator who was building his foundation, this was not difficult to come up with.

"Okay, okay, Junior Sister, I'll give it to you right away."

Seeing that Qu Fu handed over the spirit stones honestly, Shi Linshan's attitude immediately changed.

"Haha, Junior Sister, you guard Lishui Stream for us, so it's only right that you receive some hard work fees. This is my share."

"Yours is fifteen hundred a year, starting from twenty years."

Shi Linshan's face froze for a moment.

He Ling glanced at him coldly, "Why don't you want to?"

Shi Linshan laughed dryly twice, "Yes, yes."
