Chapter 182 Departure

Everyone greeted Han Yueshan in silence. He looked at Li Xiu's vicissitudes of life and asked doubtfully, "Brother Li, why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Xiu slowly uttered a sentence: "I know one thing - why are you so poor."

Han Yueshan became even more confused. He stopped explaining and said gloomily, "Forget it. There's a place in the central region where you can exchange gold and silver. I'll go there."

Tao Zi whispered, "Exchanging spirit stones for gold and silver is too extravagant."

He complained: "If it's not extravagant, how can I afford you."

She looked at her employer and warned him, "But after we get to the central region, we'll almost be separated."

Li Xiu was stunned, and after a while she said, "If I can't find my master, I still have to go with you."

For some reason, after Li Xiu said this, Zhao Xue felt that his senior sister suddenly looked at them.

After they left the city, Li Xiu took out the spirit boat and they boarded the boat to head towards Xuanling Valley.

Halfway through the journey, Hua Monk finally realized what was happening and asked, "Junior Brother Han, where are we going?"

Han Yueshan lay on the boat basking in the sun, squinting his eyes and said, "I don't know, just follow my senior sister."

Li Xiu looked at Tao Zi silently, and she smiled embarrassedly. She forgot to say it.

She put the little fox in her arms aside and said, "Let's go to Xuanling Valley."

The Flower Monk immediately looked over and said in surprise, "Xuanling Valley is always blasted by strong winds, and those below the Golden Core stage cannot enter."

Li Xiu said with bright eyes: "The strong wind is weakening. It is not clear to what extent it will weaken, but if we go to the three sects and four schools, we may be able to fish in troubled waters."

Tao Zi pulled the little fox basking in the sun over to her, rubbed its head, and said calmly, "We have to go in no matter what."

Li Xiu nodded vigorously: "There are a lot of natural treasures in there, and we'll pick up as much as we can."

She said, "If it doesn't work, just rob it."

The entire ship fell silent, and everyone turned to look at her.

Tao Zi said slowly, "My spiritual veins are damaged. If I find any suitable herbs, I will start to grab them. Senior Brother Hua, if something like this really happens, I won't be able to take care of Senior Brothers Yue Shan and Li. Please bear with me."

The flower monk blinked and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will send them far away and then come back to help you."

She turned to look at Han Yueshan, who sat up quickly and said seriously, "Senior Sister, go ahead and grab the things without worry. I will take my fellow junior brothers and sisters and hide far away. I promise not to cause any trouble."

Only then did Tao Zi smile.

Zhao Xue said hesitantly, "It doesn't seem right to rob people."

Before she could say anything, her fox cousin said, "Treasures belong to those who are capable. It doesn't matter whether they were stolen or not."

The Flower Monk also said, "Brother Zhao, if we were outside, it would be inappropriate to rob people, but in a place like that, who wouldn't rob people? There's no such thing as whoever gets the treasure first gets it."

Han Yueshan criticized seriously: "Junior brother, do you think that Senior Sister's spiritual vein is more important, or that it is more important not to steal other people's things?"

Zhao Xue was silent for a moment before saying, "Then let's just rob it."

The fox cousin curled her lips and muttered, "If it weren't for the mistake, I wouldn't have made a pact with a scholar like you."

Zhao Xue couldn't deny it. Xi Jing smiled and said, "But if you hadn't signed the contract at that time, the powerful person in the Xuyan Ruins wouldn't have let you go. Besides, you wanted to scheme against Second Senior Brother but failed, and instead you schemed against Third Senior Brother."

Its fox face suddenly looked aggrieved: "Sister Xi Jing, I had no choice but to do that kind of thing, otherwise who would be willing to run over there?"

Seeing her like this, Xi Jing immediately shut her mouth and remained silent.

Tao Zi asked gently, "How long have you been in this contract?"

The fox cousin said gloomily, "Fifty years."

Zhao Xue nodded and said, "The main reason is that I'm afraid that I won't live to see that day, and Jiao'er will be implicated."

The little fox also echoed, "That's right. He doesn't believe in other contracts, but insists on signing a master-servant contract of life and death. How hateful."

Tao Zi was just about to rub the little fox's head again when it suddenly jumped up and patted her shoulder with one paw: "Tao Zi, I remember we signed a master-servant contract for a hundred years?"

She nodded seriously: "Yes."

The little fox stared at her with wide eyes and said tremblingly, "Do you think you can live to a hundred years from now?"

Tao Zi replied honestly: "It's a bit difficult."

It urged in a somewhat frustrated tone, "Then why are you still basking in the sun? Hurry up and practice!"

The fox cousin also took a breath and said, "No matter if it's robbing or snatching, the herbs must be obtained."

A hundred years is nothing to the demon race, but to ordinary humans, it is a lifetime.

Zhao Xue asked in return, "Is there any difference between robbing and seizing?"

The fox cousin gave him a claw and said, "Stop talking about these useless things."

Li Xiu took out a pen from the storage container and said, "I will draw some medicinal herbs that may be beneficial to the spiritual veins in Xuanling Valley. Please take note of them."

Several people gathered around and listened carefully to his explanation.

Tao Zi pulled the little fox who was sticking its head out back and listened patiently from the outside.

Only she knew that after using the flower in the Dayless Forest, most medicinal herbs were of negligible use to her.

Even the usefulness of that spiritual plant is questionable.

Tao Zi touched the fox's head and asked in a low voice: "Yueshan."

"Ah?" Han Yueshan didn't react for a moment, and responded subconsciously before turning around and asking, "What's wrong, Senior Sister?"

In case her memory was wrong, she confirmed it again: "How long did I get out of the forest that time?"

Han Yueshan was confused for a long time before he realized what she was asking and said, "It seems like less than twenty days."

Tao Zi nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Sister, I understand."

Zhao Xue suddenly spoke up: "Senior Sister, did forcing yourself out of seclusion have a negative impact on your body?"

She denied it, saying, "No, I didn't force my way out that time."

Judging from Zhao Xue's expression, he didn't believe it at all.

Tao Zi wanted to explain further, but he said, "Senior Sister, I will definitely find the right herbs this time."

"Yeah. Don't worry about it. Senior Sister is indeed fine."

Zhao Xue responded sullenly, then turned around and continued to listen to Li Xiu introduce the medicinal herbs.

Tao Zi stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery below, his mind drifting elsewhere.

She remembered very clearly that when Xing Zhan used that flower, he actually went into seclusion for a whole month and almost lost his life, but she only went into seclusion for less than twenty days. Why?

Could it be that she had used this flower during the two years she lost her memory? No, that flower blooms once every hundred years, so the timing doesn't match, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that this kind of flower grows elsewhere.
