Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

The group waited outside the mine for a very long time before the guide said, "According to the timeline, that human skin should have already perished."

Zhu Jiuhua silently circulated his internal energy for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "Go in!"

"Young Master,"

At this moment, Zhu Xianchou suddenly spoke up, took out a box, and said, "I have a Phoenix Blood Pill here. Young Master can use it to heal your injuries and return to your full strength. Otherwise, even with those Yuan herbs, it will probably take you a long time to take it."

Zhu Jiuhua was surprised to hear this: "Phoenix Blood Pill!?"

This kind of pill is extremely precious. Even within the Zhu family, only the most elite experts can refine it. Even as a direct descendant, it is not easy for him to obtain such a pill.

Zhu Xianchou actually exists.

The protector beside him had already taken the box, opened it, glanced at the blood-red pill inside, sniffed it, and couldn't help but nod and say, "The formula is somewhat different from our Zhu family's, but it is indeed the Phoenix Blood Pill. Fellow Daoist Qiu's alchemy skills are truly admirable."

After saying that, he handed it to Zhu Jiuhua.

It's been checked, there's no problem.

"Thank you, Mr. Qiu. Once I obtain the Dao Yuan Grass and become the Holy Son of the Zhu Clan, Mr. Qiu will be my clan's protector and honored guest!"

Zhu Jiuhua solemnly promised, then swallowed the elixir and silently refined it.

Li Lan, however, felt a slight jolt in her heart.

"I see!"

Upon seeing this pill, Li Lan suddenly understood Zhu Xianchou's scheme!

Zhu Xianchou tampered with the Phoenix Blood Pill, but in a very clever way, even fooling the protectors.

He used many different medicinal herbs, and most importantly, this pill is now completely without any problems.

Unless... Zhu Xianchou used special drugs to raise a puppet worm that entered Jin Zhu Jiuhua's body!

If Li Lan hadn't obtained Zhu Xianchou's true explanation of the elixir, which contained many of Zhu Xianchou's own annotations, he probably wouldn't understand Zhu Xianchou's true intentions now.

Is Zhu Xianchou really going to turn Zhu Jiuhua into a puppet?!

This ruthless strategist, who once wreaked havoc on the entire Dali court, still possesses extraordinary courage and wisdom.

"Alright, go in!"

After completing his breathing exercise, Zhu Jiuhua felt his blood and energy surge, and immediately gave the order.

Shocked by the evil dew and still gripped by fear, the group remained silent and cautious. Soon after, they returned to the site of the evil dew.

"They're all gone..."

Someone whispered.

The human skin and the corpses of the murdered miners had vanished as if they had never existed. Only a wall made of immortal energy radiated light.

“Mining ghosts…they’ve all turned into mining ghosts.”

Suddenly, someone spoke up, and everyone looked in the direction he was pointing. On the stone surface of a cave wall, faint traces of human faces could be seen.

It's like their faces are right beneath the stone skin, ready to burst through at any moment.

Li Lan was shocked. He remembered clearly that these walls were not there before.

The number of faces and the number of dead miners are now the same!

So that's how the mining ghost came about?

Those killed by the evil spirits will become mine demons in the Immortal Source. If any newcomers accidentally damage these stone surfaces, the mine demons will sense human presence, awaken, and devour the intruders...

No wonder those miners were so terrified when faced with the catastrophic leak!

Death itself isn't that scary, but after death, you can turn into this kind of bizarre, inhuman creature. Who wouldn't be afraid?

"Be careful not to touch these stone surfaces."

The protector spoke up, reminding them, "We don't have much time. These immortal sources can only be sealed for a short period at most. We need to hurry!"

Zhu Jiuhua nodded, and the group carefully passed through the seal of evil leakage. When they reached the entrance of the cave hall, Zhu Jiuhua and the others did not continue forward, but looked at Li Lan!

"Ming Lanli, take this dragon scale inside and bring out that Dao Yuan Grass for me!"

Zhu Jiuhua said!

……

Zhu Jiuhua took out a golden dragon scale from his storage ring and handed it to Li Lan.
