Chapter 85 Questioning

In other words, if there was someone behind the waterfall, it would most likely be someone from the Minglan Sect, and then she would be in danger.

But it's unlikely, given the timeframe, they wouldn't be here.

Besides, before Xi Jing and the others came out of the jungle, she had probed the edge of the jungle several times and knew there should be no one there.

"Senior sister, why aren't you moving?" The three of them noticed that the senior sister was not in good condition and asked in a low voice.

She said, "Take out the spiritual weapon and stand behind the big rock."

After the three of them did as she was told, she walked towards the waterfall.

Han Yueshan and the others watched their senior sister wade through the water, walk under the waterfall, and then disappear.

The three of them were stunned.

"Doesn't it hurt when such a strong stream of water hits you?"

Xi Jing whispered to her third brother, "It hurts to see that."

"Stop talking. If Senior Sister doesn't come out in a while, we'll go over there with our spiritual weapons."

At this time, Tao Zi had crossed the waterfall and stood in front of a wall. Without hesitation, she pressed an inconspicuous little stone into it.

The stone wall slowly moved to both sides, and a narrow road that was only wide enough for one person to pass through appeared in front of us.

She walked in cautiously, crossed the path, and was greeted by a spacious land. Although it was still dark, the flowers, plants and trees were all normal colors.

She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, there was no one there.

Although she was 90% sure before she came in, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, there were three people standing outside who needed her care.

"Senior Sister!"

A soft call came from outside. She was startled and immediately turned around and went out.

The figures of the three people were looming in the waterfall, and she immediately stepped forward to bring them in.

"Senior Sister, here?"

"We'll stay here for about half a year."

Before the three of them could get excited, Tao Zi continued, "This is just a place to rest. The rest of the time you have to go out and exercise. Also, some of the herbs here can't be moved."

As she spoke, her eyes glanced towards a hidden corner where a clump of unremarkable new grass grew.

Few people know that these herbs can repair hidden injuries in the muscles, greatly improve physical fitness, and most importantly, increase the possibility of advancing to the solid stage of physical training.

Unfortunately, these herbs only grow once every ten years, and the next time they mature should be in seven years.

Almost a month later, Han Yueshan and the other two were squatting in the waterfall, looking at their senior sister grinding herbs with a look of despair.

During this time, they were either forced to climb and jump in the dense forest or endure the impact under the waterfall.

The only consolation is that their strength has indeed improved a little. For example, they could only stay under the waterfall for less than half an hour at the beginning, but now they can stay there for half a quarter of an hour; for another example, in the dense forest, they finally stopped crawling around.

Tao Zi looked up at them and said, "If you can't hold on any longer, come over."

Xi Jing was the first to come over, holding on to the wall.

She looked weak and even shuddered when she looked at the medicine.

The senior sister said, "Although you are Daoists, your physical fitness is also very important. It will not go wrong if you practice more."

Zhao Xue also stumbled over and said, "Senior Sister, we know."

"Then apply the medicine. It may hurt a little, but it will do you a lot of good."

She looked down at the Mo Yu Juice in her hand. This medicine can enhance the skin's resistance to external blows, but it only works after the human body is hit, and... it is extremely painful.

As she heard several cries of pain behind her, she walked in as usual.

Tao Zi lowered her eyes and looked at the flower bud in the middle of the grass. The medicinal effect of this flower was incompatible with the other herbs here - it was aimed at the spiritual veins of Taoist practitioners, or to be more precise, at damaged spiritual veins.

The flower from a hundred years ago was used on Xing Zhan, and now she plans to use this one on herself.

Now, the flower is about to bloom.

This flower blooms only once every hundred years. If it is not picked within a breath, it will wither and die, turning into nutrients in an instant. Even if she picked it, the Xingtang would not suspect anything.

She lowered her head and touched her veins. If this flower was used as medicine, perhaps it could slightly restore the damaged spiritual veins.

In fact, strangely enough, she was very sure that she had completely destroyed her spiritual vein, and it should not be salvaged.

But now not only is it saved, it can also be of some use.

She used to think it was a miracle, but when she thought about it, there weren't so many miracles in the world. Maybe she should ask someone to check her memory.

Tao Zi was lost in thought, while Zhao Xue was winking at his senior brother and repeating the same word with his mouth: Fifteen.

Han Yueshan nodded slightly.

As expected, the senior sister came out after a while and ordered, "All training outside today is suspended. I will stay in the innermost part. You can practice according to the method you used before in Nanya."

The three of them didn't agree, so she looked over in confusion: "Is there a problem?"

Xi Jing and Zhao Xue pushed Han Yueshan out together. He organized his words and said carefully, "Senior Sister, I have something to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"Is there something wrong with you?"

Tao Zi looked at him and didn't say anything. He was also very determined and looked straight into his senior sister's eyes.

"Senior Sister, there are some things we have the right to know, don't we?"

She asked, “When did you find out?”

"Last time, we sorted out our memories and found something wrong. Senior Sister, is the fifteenth a bad day for you?"

She finally nodded and said, "I'm poisoned. The poison attacks me on the 15th of every month, sometimes earlier."

Although they were mentally prepared, the three were still shocked and asked about the poison.

Tao Zi said a few words casually and didn't explain any more.

This poison is her weakness, an absolute weakness. Even in Minglan Sect, only Qinglan Tianzun, Xu Qianjia and Xing Zhan know about it.

She was used to hiding the existence of the poison, but how could it not be discovered when they were together day and night?

Zhao Xue suddenly said, "Senior Sister, so you deliberately abandoned us last time?"

Tao Zi was stunned for a moment. Han Yueshan quickly covered Zhao Xue's mouth and said, "Senior Sister, go and rest first. We'll talk after you get through this."

Xi Jing nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Senior Sister, if there is any way to relieve the pain, just tell us now and we will do it."

She looked at Zhao Xue, who was also looking at her. She said, "Yueshan, let go of your hand."

"No, Senior Sister, Zhao Xue is sometimes a bit stubborn, don't worry about it."

"I know, let go, maybe it's time to talk."

Tao Zi looked at them. Without her noticing, these children might have had some emotional problems. She could have ignored them before, but after experiencing the fake beast tide, she wanted to try to care.

He hesitated for a moment, then let go of her hand.
