Miss Witch is broke again.

"I'm not stupid!"

However, Tu Wen ignored Su Li's feeble rebuttal, reached out and pressed down on the bouncing Su Li, and casually rubbed her soft fox ears, replying perfunctorily:

"Not stupid, not stupid at all, everyone says she's innocent and cute!"

Su Li wouldn't be fooled by Tu Wen like that. What difference was there between that and calling her stupid? Tu Wen's perfunctory attitude was so infuriating that it made Su Li's teeth itch. But she was no match for Tu Wen at all, so she could only suppress her anger.

Once she can beat Tu Wen, she'll definitely spank Wen-jie's butt.

As the witches made a ruckus along the way, they finally arrived at their destination, a brightly lit vermilion pavilion standing in the woods near the mountaintop.

However, the monsters and witches along the way seemed not to see the pavilion. They continued to chat and laugh as they passed by, never glancing at it.

Yaxi was surprised to find that even she herself would not have been able to discover the existence of the vermilion pavilion if Tu Wen hadn't led them.

"This is?"

She raised a question, and Tu Wen explained apologetically:

"Excuse me, sister, this is a friend's place, but she prefers to be alone and doesn't welcome strangers, so..."

Yaxi immediately understood and replied:

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer. Anyway, this demon market is so big, I'll just wander around. See you again, sister."

Tu Wen led Su Li towards the vermilion pavilion, opening the pavilion door and waving her hand behind her as she replied:

"See you again someday, sister."

However, Yaxi did not leave until Su Li's figure disappeared into the pavilion, and she received the fox fairy witch's light and alluring response.

"See you again someday, Ya-xi sisters."

And so, Zhu Honggelou disappeared with Su Li and the other two, while Ya Qian finally smiled and moved her feet to call the little demons to continue following.

"Give me a raise, I'm going to check out the Demon Market."

Even the greyhound was a bit tired, but as soon as it heard about the extra money, it immediately perked up and followed Yaqian. It was quite envious of Tu Wen and Su Li's generous spending.

I'll fight for Witch Gold!

……

"Who is it? Who disturbed my peaceful sleep?"

Su Li followed Tu Wen into the attic. The bright light illuminated the furnishings inside, but no one could be seen.

However, a cold female voice came from all around, indicating that the host was there, but judging from her tone, she seemed somewhat unhappy.

"Who else could it be but my great Immortal Cheng..."

Tu Wen clicked her tongue in amazement and went straight back to ask the question. It seemed that her relationship with the host family was quite unusual, and even her tone was mischievous.

The cold female voice immediately fell silent, and after a moment of silence, she sighed:

"It's you again, you bastard! You're even more troublesome than your master. I don't know how much I owed you two in my past life. I can never sleep peacefully."

Tu Wen smiled and said that although the owner of the pavilion was her elder, he treated her like a good friend and was not afraid of making her angry at all.

A cool, clear female voice came from all around again, asking:

"What brings you here? Is it perhaps the pill you requested?"

Tu Wen nodded; she had brought Su Li with her for this very reason.

The cool female voice seemed to have caught Tu Wen's nod, and gave a somewhat evasive reply:

"That pill took me a lot of effort. After all, it was an ancient formula, and just finding herbs with similar medicinal properties was very time-consuming."

Tu Wen was surprised and asked:

"Oh, Immortal Cheng, even you say it's an ancient elixir formula. How ancient must this technique be? Could it be a technique passed down from ancient times?"

The cool, clear female voice was also uncertain as she said:

"It shouldn't be, but it's not far from that period. Maybe it's a technique passed down from some ancient immortal sect. Who knows?"

Tu Wen couldn't help but be surprised by the origin of the Elephant Mountain Yin Body Technique. Such an ancient spell was truly rare. You must know that the so-called ancient times are considered extremely ancient history in the history of China.

That was during the early days of the Immortal Sect, when the divide between witches and mortals was extremely severe. After the Human Emperor passed away, some witches became increasingly wanton in exploiting mortals, leading to wars breaking out in the mortal world and endless battles between witches.

The righteous witches established themselves as the Immortal Sect, while those who acted recklessly called themselves the Demonic Sect. They did not care at all that humans were once of the same race, but instead exploited humans without restraint.

It was an era of war and chaos, but also an era of heroes. Countless talented witches proudly shone, and for thousands of years, China has been deeply influenced by them.

Although their power was far inferior to that of the great witches of modern times, the ideas and culture they pioneered are still admired by the great witches to this day.

This Elephant Mountain Yin Body Technique is so ancient. Even if the spell's level is not high, it is definitely extraordinary in terms of academic research significance. She and Sister Yaoyue misjudged it.

"Hmm, only immortals and demonesses like you can refine the elixirs needed for such ancient magic. After all, many medicinal herbs have been lost and can only be replaced by substitutes."

Tu Wencai abandoned her casual attitude and praised the cool female voice.

The cold female voice, however, was unmoved and instead coldly replied:

"I've heard this kind of flattery a lot. Your master said it a lot back then and tricked me out of a lot of pills. As your disciple, don't try to fool me with this."

That clear, cold female voice wasn't just for show; she said in a chilling tone:

"This pill took a lot of my effort, and finding alternative medicinal materials cost me a lot of money. Plus, there's my fee for selling it. You little swordsman, you're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"

Tu Wen's expression froze, and she could only curse the old woman in her heart, thinking that this was simply setting her up for failure.

The predecessors dug the pit, and the successors suffer the consequences!

However, Su Li spoke up at this moment, rescuing Tu Wen from the predicament, saying:

"Senior, this elixir was requested by Sister Wen for me, so I should pay for it. But I wonder how much witch gold it will cost?"

As soon as Su Li spoke, the attention of the cool female voice shifted to her, and even the invisible breeze seemed to surround Su Li.

A clear, cold female voice sounded somewhat surprised and said:

"This bloodline aura is somewhat familiar, but I can't quite place it. But all fox spirits under heaven are the same; they may not know much else, but their ability to cause trouble is undeniable. I wonder how much chaos they've caused."

Su Li was somewhat frightened. This fairy and demon seemed to have existed for an extremely long time. Fortunately, she did not recognize that Su Li was a descendant of the fox fairy. Otherwise, given the glorious deeds mentioned by the fox fairy, this person might even have a grudge against the fox fairy.

However, Immortal Cheng did not think deeply about it and casually said:

"It won't cost much. The resources in this witch society are much richer than in ancient times, so the medicinal herbs aren't worth much. It's just that my fee is quite high, so I'll just give you two thousand gold coins."

Su Li was initially full of confidence, but upon hearing the cold female voice's offer, her fox tail immediately stood straight.

"How much? Two thousand gold pieces!"

Su Li turned to look at Tu Wen, but Tu Wen shrugged and said that the price was normal. This was not even considering the price of the spell itself. If the spell was included, it would probably be at least four or five thousand gold.

Normally, learning a third-ring spell would only cost two or three thousand gold coins, but this Elephant Mountain Yin Body Technique is an ancient method, and the required pills were refined by this immortal. In the end, it cost a lot more witch gold coins.

Upon hearing Su Li's surprised exclamation, the cold female voice softened its tone, revealing hostility:

"What, little fox, are you going to renege on your promise? If you dare to renege, I'll strip you naked and send you to a brothel tomorrow."

Su Li quickly shook her head, and only then did the immortal and demon woman become more peaceful.

"Where's the money?"

Su Li gritted her teeth. Fortunately, spatial devices were not expensive in the witch society. She had previously bought an old-fashioned spatial bracelet with Shana's help to use for storage.

Modern witches typically use the magic network for large payments, but Tu Wen had mentioned beforehand that this fairy witch was not used to the lifestyle of modern witches and needed to prepare physical witch coins in advance.

Su Li couldn't help but feel heartbroken at the thought of spending two thousand gold coins like that. She thought that nearly ten thousand witch gold coins would be enough for her needs, but a fifth of them disappeared just to learn a third-circle spell. No wonder people say that witches have to be penniless if they want to become stronger.

Upon seeing Su Li take out a large amount of glittering witch's gold, the cold female voice softened considerably, saying:

"The little fox is not bad, unlike these two sword-wielding masters and disciples who only know how to take my pills for free."

Tu Wen immediately protested her innocence, saying it was all the old woman's fault; she, as her disciple, had never taken any pills from the woman with the cold, aloof voice for free.

However, Su Li took out a full two thousand Witch Gold coins, which she couldn't keep in her hand. But the cold female voice could only be heard, not seen, so she could only awkwardly place the gold coins on the floor of the pavilion.

She was curious about how this fairy and witch collected these gold coins. Then, Su Li's eyes widened because the wind stirred...

An invisible, intangible breeze and faint light stirred around the pavilion, then gathered together in Su Li's horrified eyes, eventually coalescing into the figure of a woman.

She was a beautiful witch with a cool and weary demeanor, and it seemed that it had taken her a lot of effort to condense herself into this form.

Seeing Su Li's surprised expression, the beautiful witch casually explained:

"When we immortals and demonesses are asleep, we will transform into our previous form to avoid being disturbed."

Tu Wen immediately rolled her eyes and said:

"Please, my dear Immortal Cheng, your divine spirit technique that allows you to roam freely beyond the heavens is not the norm for immortals and demonesses. Please don't discourage us juniors!"
