Chapter 165 Heading to the Cave of the Five Elements Venerable
After the cultivator surnamed Liu finished explaining everything about the Five Elements Venerable's cave, he still pleaded, "Well? I've told you everything I know, can you let me go now?"
While Liu Rumei and Sun Siyu were still pondering the news about the Five Elements Venerable, Ye Xiaobai said directly, "I promised you a quick death! I'll keep my word!" After saying that, Ye Xiaobai killed the Liu surname cultivator with a single sword strike.
There can be no mercy or soft-heartedness towards the enemy.
After seeing it, Liu Rumei didn't say much. Instead, she looked at the majestic Purple Flame Thunder Leopard and said with a smile, "Ye Xiaobai, can you give me this Purple Flame Thunder Leopard? I can trade you a magic weapon for it!"
"No trade!" Ye Xiaobai immediately refused Liu Rumei, then put away the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard to prevent her from having any further ideas.
"Stingy!"
Ye Xiaobai ignored Liu Rumei's complaints and turned to Sun Siyu, asking, "Fairy Sun, how far is it from here to your Qingxia Sect?"
“It’s still three days’ journey!” Sun Siyu replied hastily.
“However, according to what Liu said, the Five Elements Venerable’s cave is located in Liufeng Mountain, which is very close. Why don’t we go to Liufeng Mountain first?” After thinking it over carefully, Liu Rumei still suggested that we go treasure hunting first.
Ye Xiaobai naturally wanted to search for treasure in the cave of the Five Elements Venerable, but he had already promised Sun Siyu to refine pills, and since lives were at stake, he was too embarrassed to delay. Therefore, when Liu Rumei proposed searching for treasure, he could only look to Sun Siyu and let her make the decision.
"This... but my master is still waiting for the two of you to refine the Five Blessings Poison-Clearing Pill to save his life!" Sun Siyu was also helpless, but her master's life was hanging by a thread, and he had given her a great deal of kindness in nurturing her, so she would definitely prioritize her master's life.
"Alright, by the way, I've already studied the pill formula on the way here. One of the spiritual herbs required for this Five Blessings Detoxification Pill is a five-hundred-year-old Dragon Sunflower. Has your Qingxia Sect prepared it?" Liu Rumei asked casually.
"This... it seems our sect doesn't have any 500-year-old Dragon Sunflower. What should we do?" Sun Siyu immediately became anxious. She had previously thought of asking someone to help refine the pill, but she didn't know what spiritual herbs were needed. Now that she had the pill formula, she didn't have the corresponding spiritual herbs, so she could only worry helplessly.
"No way?" Liu Rumei couldn't believe Sun Siyu's words. How could she refine pills without spiritual herbs?
"In that case, how about this: Fairy Sun, go back to your sect first to prepare the spiritual herbs such as Dragon Sunflower and Asparagus to refine the Five Blessings Poison-Clearing Pill. Fairy Liu and I will go to the cave of the Five Elements Venerable. Perhaps we can find some related rare spiritual herbs there!" Ye Xiaobai suggested.
"That's a great suggestion!" Liu Rumei immediately agreed with both hands.
"Alright, I'll go back and figure out how to collect the spirit herbs, but you must return to Qingxia Sect as soon as possible. My master is still waiting for you!" After a moment's thought, Sun Siyu could only agree to this.
"No problem, we'll head to Qingxia Sect as soon as we're done!" Ye Xiaobai readily agreed.
"Definitely!" Liu Rumei readily agreed.
Afterwards, Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei separated from Sun Siyu.
After parting ways, Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei each took out their own flying artifacts and flew towards Liufeng Mountain.
After flying a short distance, Liu Rumei had already left Ye Xiaobai far behind. Seeing Ye Xiaobai, she immediately lamented that her flying speed was too slow.
Ordinary flying swords certainly can't match the speed of Liu Rumei's magic weapon. Liu Rumei didn't say anything about flying slower or waiting for Ye Xiaobai.
Since they were all together, Liu Rumei quickly controlled the flying magic weapon in lotus platform form to fly back, and did not forget to mock, "Ye Xiaobai, your speed is too slow. At your speed, by the time you fly to Six Peaks Mountain, the treasures of the Five Elements Venerable's cave will have been taken by others!"
"You...I..." Ye Xiaobai was speechless after being rebuked. Indeed, many people were rushing to Liufeng Mountain, and if they arrived late, they would not get anything.
"Consider it a debt this fairy owes you. Come on up and sit on this fairy's immaculate lotus platform, but remember to stand far away from me!" Liu Rumei said helplessly.
"Thank you so much, Fairy!" Ye Xiaobai was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly flew onto Liu Rumei's lotus platform magic treasure.
"Stand firm, let's go!" Liu Rumei saw Ye Xiaobai board the lotus platform and didn't waste any words, directly controlling the lotus platform to fly towards Liufeng Mountain.
Standing close to Liu Rumei, Ye Xiaobai, who has an exceptional sense of smell, immediately felt the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms filling the air, making him feel intoxicated.
Everyone says that eating too much meat can be greasy, but this aroma is different. Ye Xiaobai felt that his technique to enhance his spiritual sense was automatically activated, and his spiritual sense seemed to have become even stronger. Just smelling the wonderful fragrance can enhance one's spiritual sense. It is indeed the fragrance of the 800-year-old Radiant Purple Gold Osmanthus.
Standing on the lotus platform, Liu Rumei, not hearing Ye Xiaobai speak, turned around curiously and saw Ye Xiaobai's infatuated expression. She exclaimed in surprise, "Ye Xiaobai, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai quickly opened his eyes, looking around awkwardly as if checking for any unusual situation in the distance.
"Stop pretending, I just saw it. What were you doing with your eyes closed and looking so blissful?" Liu Rumei directly exposed Ye Xiaobai's clumsy performance.
"Would you believe me if I said I was enjoying the spring breeze rushing past me?" Ye Xiaobai said in a serious tone, making up a lie.
"What spring breeze? It's autumn now!" Liu Rumei directly denied Ye Xiaobai's answer.
"Okay, I admit it, it's because you smell so good! It's irresistible!" Ye Xiaobai chose to tell the truth.
"Oh, you also think the scent of the rouge I chose is nice?" Liu Rumei said confidently, feeling that Ye Xiaobai, being so close, must have smelled the scent of the rouge she had carefully selected, and wanted to praise Ye Xiaobai for his good taste.
"Of course it's not some mundane thing like the Great Red Spring!" Ye Xiaobai directly rejected Liu Rumei's idea.
"What? You smelled something else?" Liu Rumei asked with slight surprise, not expecting that Ye Xiaobai could smell the scent of what she was hiding.
"Of course it's the fragrance of the 'Radiant Purple Osmanthus'! What could be more captivating than this refreshing aroma?" Ye Xiaobai said directly, though he couldn't help but show a hint of enjoyment on his face. However, remembering that Liu Rumei was watching him, he quickly suppressed his infatuated expression.
"You actually smelled the fragrance of the rosy osmanthus on me?" Liu Rumei asked with an incredulous expression.
"Yes! Did I say something wrong?" Ye Xiaobai retorted.
“That’s right, I do have the Radiant Purple Osmanthus on me, but it’s sealed by a special magic artifact, so only I should be able to smell it. Could it be that the formation is malfunctioning, or are you too close to me?” Liu Rumei said, staring intently at Ye Xiaobai, as if to say that the two of them were too close.
In fact, Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei were still two meters apart, and the lotus platform magic weapon was large enough, with one in front and the other behind.
Seeing Liu Rumei's fierce gaze, Ye Xiaobai quickly took a few steps back, one foot already halfway off the ground, with nowhere left to retreat.
"Hmm?" Liu Rumei intensified her gaze instead.
"Look for yourself, where else can I retreat? If I retreat any further, I'll fall!" Ye Xiaobai complained helplessly, pointing to the spot where his feet were dangling in the air.
