The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 537 - 309 Regret_2

This time, it was Ning Xiaoxian’s turn to smile ambiguously, "Oh? Then, how do you explain what just happened?"

Fu Yunzhang’s handsome face turned bright red in an instant. Normally he prided himself on his superior intellect, but at this moment, he was at a loss for words. Perhaps because everyone was relaxed after climbing onto Flying Feather, among the men behind him, someone couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing. When their leader glared at them fiercely, they quickly straightened their faces, pretending to be innocent.

Ning Xiaoxian turned her head away and ignored them, instead reaching out to play with Qi Zai on her shoulder. The little creature cooperated very well, allowing her slender and fair fingertips to stroke its head and squinting its eyes in ultimate enjoyment. Others couldn’t help but gasp in jealousy when they saw Ning Xiaoxian occasionally feeding this little white bird some Spirit Fruits.

Only she could hear Qi Zai’s telepathic plea: "Granny, the fruits of Jade Red Grass taste awful, can we switch? The fruits of Mist Hidden Fragrance are big and sweet, I like those..."

"Shut up, I’m in a bad mood. Just eat what you’re given."

Fu Yunzhang also focused on watching her feed the bird for a while before asking, "Is this bird of yours a mutant spiritual bird?"

"Something like that." She replied displeasedly, "It only knows eating and playing all day, can’t help with anything, just watches its owner suffer!"

Qi Zai was so infuriated by her slander that it almost raised its crown. Fu Yunzhang was rendered speechless by her words and chuckled bitterly, but inwardly he was quite relieved. In front of this gang of bandits, this young lady had been too calm, which made him suspect she had something up her sleeve. Seeing her now fuming with anger, it turned out she was still quite young and inexperienced.

The freshness of Junyang Grass deteriorates over time, and from this alone, Ning Xiaoxian inferred that their hideout couldn’t be far away. Sure enough, after about another 15 minutes of flight, Flying Feather slowly landed in a small village. People who dressed like the men on Flying Feather came to greet them, clearly also bandits.

Curiosity sprung within her about how these men chose such a career. Chang Ye, known for his scrupulous eyesight, whispered in her ear, "Including the villagers, this gang of bandits totals eleven people, all are Loose Cultivators. The one with the highest cultivation here is Fu Yunzhang before us, and the one with the lowest is also in the Golden Core Stage, their overall strength is not weak."

Indeed, some small sects couldn’t even gather ten Golden Core cultivators, and Fu Yunzhang had done a remarkable job assembling these men.

After descending, Fu Yunzhang handed over the three captives from Tianling Sea Pavilion to his subordinates to watch over, and patted Kou Yunzhi’s shoulder saying, "Mr. Kou, don’t get any crooked ideas, my Soul-draining Demon Vine can suck out every last bit of your Spiritual Power. If it gets irritated, it also drinks human blood and eats human flesh." The green vine remained twined around Kou Yunzhi.

Kou Yunzhi’s face turned ashen and he walked away supported by his two disciples.

When Fu Yunzhang turned to Ning Xiaoxian, he straightened his expression before saying, "Miss Tan, there’s no time to delay, please help us refine the juice of Junyang Grass!"

She responded indifferently, "Okay." and then outstretched her hand towards him.

Fu Yunzhang was taken aback, "What for?" His gaze lingered on the girl’s slender and delicately boney hands, their texture smooth and fair, but he dared not stare for long.

"Give me a Pill Furnace."

He exclaimed, "Aren’t you a disciple of the Xuanji Sect? How come you don’t carry a Pill Furnace with you?"

Ning Xiaoxian glared back at him, "The rules in my sect require not to carry any pill-making tools while guarding the medicine field, don’t you know that?" She was blatantly lying; her only furnace was the Fu Yu Tripod, which was currently being tormented again and again by Ali in her embrace. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, how could she flash into the God Demon Prison to retrieve her Pill Furnace?

But there wasn’t a single disciple of the Xuanji Sect present, so where could Fu Yunzhang verify this claim?

"Our Pill Master has a furnace, but she’s not here right now..." he mumbled. This young lady actually didn’t bring out her Pill Furnace, which really surprised him. Without a furnace, how could they possibly refine anything!

Fu Yunzhang immediately turned his head and asked the other bandits, "Does anyone have a Pill Furnace? Bring it out now!"

The burly men looked at each other and eventually all shook their heads.

They had stolen the grass, offended both Xuanji Sect and Tianling Sea Pavilion, and even captured their Pill Master. But when it came down to it, they had no Pill Furnace to refine the juice - what the hell kind of situation was this? Fu Yunzhang’s temples throbbed with frustration, for a moment he was out of ideas.

"He Lao, Fourth!" He called out, and an old man with a sly and sleazy appearance stood up, "You’re the fastest here. Go to the Xuanji Sect again and kidnap an Inner Chamber Disciple who has a Pill Furnace!"

Before Fourth could respond, Ning Xiaoxian burst out, "Wasn’t kidnapping one person enough, now you want to kidnap my fellow disciples too? Pure banditry, you simply can’t leave your true profession behind even in three sentences."

"Without a furnace, the Junyang Grass will be wasted, do you expect me to go and steal medicine from the Extremely Yin Land again?" He glanced at her and instructed Fourth, "Go and come back quickly!"

"Hold on!" Ning Xiaoxian spoke out again, stepping forward. This time, everyone’s attention was directed towards her. She bit her lower lip and said, "Are you truly refining this elixir to treat mortals?" she joked, knowing if they brought another Xuanji Sect disciple, her fake identity would be exposed too! No choice but to help them.

Fu Yunzhang replied proudly, "Why would a man of my stature need to lie to you about such trifling matters?"(To be continued.
