Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

The two fought back and forth for a while, but in the end Lu Yuanhao was the better one. He chopped Bai Yu away with one sword, and he also quickly walked over and put his sword against her forehead.

"Junior Sister, thank you for letting me."

He silently retracted his sword. She lost, but he didn't win either.

After all, he was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, while Bai Yu was only at the eighth level. They had been fighting for such a long time, but he had actually already lost.

A red light flashed in Bai Yu's eyes. She stared at his back, and clenched her hands tightly that were supporting the ground.

But soon, she relaxed again, got up silently, turned around and left.

When she passed by Zhong Ran, she turned her head to look at her.

For some reason, being close to this girl made her feel like going crazy.

It seemed that she had taken away something very important from him.

But, this was clearly the first time she and she met.

Could it be that she is going to steal something very important from me in the future?

Zhong Ran also looked at her indifferently, but she had already withdrawn her gaze and strode away, as fast as a ghost.

It was not until her figure completely disappeared that everyone slowly came to their senses.

"So powerful, if Senior Brother Lu wasn't a sword cultivator, if Senior Brother Lu's cultivation wasn't higher than hers, I'm afraid..."

"Have you figured out what kind of spiritual root she is? Why can't I sense it?"

"Her use of spiritual energy is very mysterious. With our current cultivation strength, we really can't see it."

"The Fang family has found a treasure this time. As long as they don't face those top players, their chances of winning are still very high."

"I'm afraid not. Now that it's just a competition, she might not have used her full strength yet. Once in a situation like that, she would use any means. Someone like that must be from a big family or powerful force, right? How could she possibly use less?"

"I'm afraid Senior Brother Lu hasn't used his full strength yet? He seems quite relaxed."

"As expected of a top talent, we still have some distance to go."

Lu Yuanhao still had a playful look on his face and walked up to her: "Junior sister, let's go."

"Senior brother, you are awesome." Zhong Ran suppressed his shock and walked outside with him.

"What's so great about that? I just took advantage of it."

He lowered his voice as he spoke: "The identity of that Miss Bai must be extraordinary."

"Oh? How is it unusual?"

"From my observation of her bone age, she's only two or three years older than you, yet her cultivation has already reached that level, and she's even mastered such advanced spiritual techniques. How could an ordinary family be able to cultivate this?"

After a pause, he actually concentrated his energy and transmitted his voice: "Also, she has dark spiritual roots."

Zhong Ran was surprised that he actually saw it.

"You mean, she is a demon cultivator?" She also said in deliberate shock.

"That's not the case. Not all dark spiritual roots are demonic cultivators. Whether or not she is a demon depends on her own character."

"If she really was a demon cultivator, she would have assassinated me the moment my back was turned."

"But she has controlled her inner demons, and there is still room for recovery."

Obviously, he saw everything Bai Yu did just now.

That’s right, since he could see Bai Yu’s dark spiritual roots, how could he not be on guard?

But at the last moment, Bai Yu did not take action. In his opinion, he had not yet been completely possessed by the devil.

"Brother, why don't you find a way to save her?"

Lu Yuanhao rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm not a savior, why should I save her?"

"Such a beautiful little junior sister, and she's also a genius, isn't it, senior brother, that's tempting?"

"In my heart, she is not as good as you."

"Uh - Senior Brother, you think too highly of me. I'm just a straw bag beauty."

Lu Yuanhao smiled and said nothing. He always believed in his intuition.

That was a sword cultivator's intuition about danger.

He didn't feel any pressure from Bai Yu.

But the woman in front of him, whom others called a foolish beauty, gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

He concluded that Zhong Ran was hiding his strength.

As for why she did this? Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and you will know.

Everyone in the Fang family watched them leave before closing the door to block out the inquiring eyes from outside.

"That Mr. Lu hasn't used his full strength yet. With him around, I'm afraid the geniuses from the other three families might not be his match."

"What are you afraid of? The cave is so big, if you're quick, you'll get it. Opportunities are mostly reserved for those who are destined to have them."

"Okay, there's no point in saying anything now. We're leaving in three days, so we better get ready."

Lu Yuanhao did not go back to the City Lord's Mansion directly, but went shopping with Zhong Ran.

A large group of people were preparing to go shopping.

We are about to head to the cave, and there will definitely be a fight, and deaths are common.

So, before that, try to increase your chips as much as possible.

In this case, elixirs, talismans, weapons, etc. are the most popular items, especially elixirs and talismans.

Pills can save lives at certain times, and talismans can be used for attack, defense, and escape, and are more effective.

However, talismans are extremely expensive; some even cost more than elixirs.

"Junior sister, if you like anything, I will buy it for you." Lu Yuanhao said when he saw that Zhong Ran was just looking at it and asking the price but not buying it.

Zhong Ran smiled and shook her head. She already had the pills and talismans, so there was no need to spend a lot of money to buy them.

But why didn’t she think of making some pills to sell before?

Speaking of which, she hasn't made pills properly for a long time. Since her rebirth, she has been relying on the small tripod. This is not good for her.

What if Xiao Ding is gone one day, won’t she be unable to make pills?

"Junior Sister, once you truly enter the cave, especially in front of the treasures, everyone will be a gambler with a vengeance. If you're not careful, you could lose your life. You should prepare more elixirs and talismans on you."

Zhong Ran coughed lightly and said softly, "Don't worry about being laughed at by my senior brother. I am an alchemist myself and don't need to buy pills."

Lu Yuanhao was slightly startled: "Are you an alchemist?"

"What's wrong?"

"No, I just didn't think of it. I wonder who is Junior Sister's master?"

"I didn't formally become his disciple. I just blindly practiced with the family's alchemist for two years."

"So, what rank of alchemist are you now?" He tilted his head to look at her and asked seriously.

Zhong Ran smiled indifferently: "It can be considered as the second rank."

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, your cultivation has stagnated, is that true?"

"Huh! Can this be faked?" At least she didn't want to fake it.

It turned out that he had always thought that she was lying to him and that she was hiding her cultivation. No wonder he had always been so nice to her.

Now that we know her cultivation has truly stagnated, isn't it time for her to reveal her true colors?

"It's okay, I'll protect you from now on." He patted his chest and promised seriously.

Zhong Ran just smiled and didn't respond to him. He turned around and pointed at a third-grade teleportation talisman and asked the maid.

"How much is this talisman?"

"One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones." The maid replied with a smile.

"Can we only trade with Spirit Stones?"
