Fairy bestows immortality

"If no one wants them, I'll have to risk going to the city's trading hall to sell them."

"After waiting for more than half a month, I met you, fellow Daoist. I was originally planning to go back and continue picking, and then sell them to you together."

"Who would have thought that the aura emitted by the mature Phoenix Spirit Grass would attract many powerful ferocious beasts? After they fought each other, a ferocious beast at the sixth level of the Qi Sea took over the place."

"I really have no way to deal with it."

"But I was really envious of all the resources that could be exchanged, so I had some wicked ideas..."

Ma An was truly on the verge of tears.

He originally planned to leave the black market after this transaction, but he didn't expect that Zi Yanqiong was so cunning and powerful that she could bring a mid-level alchemist with her!

Now that he'd been caught red-handed, there was no escaping it, so he had no choice but to confess everything.

Although Zi Yanqiong was furious, she still grasped the key point and immediately asked, "Where is that place you're talking about?"

Ma An immediately said, "It's about two mountain ranges away from here, in a rather secluded location, a few dozen miles away."

He then added, "If you two fellow Daoists wish to go, I can take you there, as long as you spare me and don't kill me."

Su Yun and Zi Yanqiong exchanged a glance.

Then, Zi Yanqiong said, "Take us there."

"If it really happens then, I'll spare your life."

"If not, I'll just kill you without hesitation!"

Hearing this, Ma An said somewhat flusteredly, "There's a ferocious beast at the sixth level of the Qi Sea realm there. What if it eats us all?"

Zi Yanqiong coldly snorted and said, "Then pay with your life!"

Ma An really wanted to cry at that moment.

I originally thought that since we were at the same level, he could easily run away after being caught cheating, and even if he was no match for me, nothing would happen.

Unexpectedly, he was no match for Zi Yanqiong at all, and had no ability to resist!

In the end, he had no choice but to agree to their request and take them there.

After all, he has no right to cheat others on the black market, and if he is discovered, he will only be attacked by the masses.

The three left the underground canyon.

Ma An led the way, trembling with fear.

Zi Yanqiong's expression remained unpleasant.

If what the other party said is true, then a ferocious beast at the sixth level of the Qi Sea realm would probably have nothing left, so she dared not have too much hope.

Su Yun, who was standing next to her, noticed Zi Yanqiong's worry and said softly, "Senior Sister Zi, don't worry."

"If what this person said is true, then there will be at least a few spiritual herbs left."

"This Phoenix Spirit Grass is a high-grade Spirit Rank herb, and it contains very strong medicinal power. Even a ferocious beast at the sixth level of the Qi Sea would not dare to swallow it all in just a few days. Doing so would be a waste and would have no other benefits."

"The ferocious beasts at the sixth level of the Qi Sea are no less intelligent than humans. They will definitely leave a lot for you to enjoy slowly. This is the fastest way to become stronger."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yanqiong's eyes lit up slightly; what Su Yun said did indeed make some sense.

She looked up at Ma An in front of her and scolded, "Hurry up! If you dawdle, you won't get a single tree, and you'll be held responsible!"

Ma An dared not delay and quickened his pace to lead the way.

Although he had been traveling at almost full speed, his pace was far slower than Su Yun and Zi Yanqiong's, and he was covered in sweat from exhaustion!

On the way, Su Yun realized that they had passed by the dilapidated temple that he and the fat cultivator had inspected earlier, and it was not far away.

In the distance are clusters of villages near the Mortal Mountain Range.

Finally, with his spiritual energy depleted, Ma An arrived at the mountain range he had mentioned.

"Yes... this is it."

Ma An raised his hand, wiped the sweat from his face, and said breathlessly.

Su Yun looked up and glanced around.

The spiritual energy in this mountain range is indeed much richer than in other places, no wonder it can nurture such a precious spiritual herb as the Phoenix Spirit Grass.

Ma An continued to lead the way, deeper into the mountains.

Towering trees are everywhere.

Every now and then you can hear the roars of beasts.
