In her past life, her genius elder sister drained her heart's blood to treat a supposed heart ailment. Her most trusted relatives did not plead for her or mourn her death; they even sold her co...
When the problem shifted to him, the person who had been talking so eloquently before started to evade the issue.
After much beating around the bush, the group finally got the answer. Ruan Qing let out a long "Oh~~~" and said meaningfully:
"You keep saying how wonderful the Lucky Tea is, and all that talk about whether you have any desires or not, but you yourself don't drink it... Have you discovered something amiss?"
"Or perhaps, the mastermind behind this Lucky Tea... is you!"
The person whose gaze was wandering suddenly paused upon hearing Ruan Qing's words, then retorted:
"What nonsense are you spouting, fellow Daoist? She's quite pretty, how can you just spout rumors like that!"
"Then why don't you drink this Lucky Tea?"
This time it was Feng Piaopiao who spoke. He squinted at the other person and slowly said:
"If someone sees an advantage and doesn't take it, it can only mean that they are either a complete fool or they know there's a trap behind it."
"I don't think you're a complete fool; you seem to know something."
The man was about to deny it when he saw the Buddhist cultivator, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, gently turn the prayer beads in his hand, and then a force of pressure belonging to a Golden Core cultivator directly rushed towards him.
"Thump—"
One of the man's legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees, unable to move an inch.
"Please spare me, senior! I'll talk, I'll talk right now!"
The man was filled with remorse.
If he had known there were Golden Core cultivators among them, why would he have said anything more, and why would he have been so greedy for those two sips of spiritual tea!
After Wuchen withdrew his oppressive aura, the man didn't get up. Instead, he sat down listlessly on the spot, looking miserable, and said:
“I know that you all say I am the mastermind, but that’s just to bluff me. Your real purpose is to get me to talk about my findings.”
"Actually, I didn't find anything. I just feel that this Biyue City is strange in every way. The benefits are not differentiated by social status, and everyone can get them. It's too easy."
"I have one good point: I don't take advantage of things I can't understand!"
When he said that last sentence, the man even expressed a sense of pride.
Upon seeing this, Feng Piaopiao, like two buddies, put his arm around each other's shoulders and began to coax them gently:
"You said everything felt strange, for example? If it feels strange, then why didn't you investigate anything, and why are you unwilling to leave Biyue City?"
The man, looking completely drained, slumped over the table and said:
"I'm just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It's already quite impressive that I can sense the strangeness. I really don't know where the strangeness is."
"As for gathering information, you've probably already seen the patrol team. I didn't have the opportunity to investigate, so I could only gather information by listening to people's casual conversations."
"As for not leaving Biyue City, that is my private matter and I have no comment."
The group didn't make things difficult for him. After asking him their questions, they thanked him and got up to return to their guest room.
Although they didn't drink the lucky tea, Liu Yunqing managed to collect it, intending to check it later.
"Stay in your rooms and wait for my instructions."
After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, he went into his room and waved his hand to activate the formation.
Just as Liu Yunqing was about to slip into the Golden Crow Space, his gaze suddenly fell on a green bamboo.
Then she looked around the room and found that there were more than a dozen pots of various green plants and flowers in the small guest room.
It's not a problem to have a lot of green plants; what's important is that they are distributed throughout the room.
If a tenant wants to set up their own array, they will at least wrap a potted plant inside the array.
Putting aside whether ordinary people would casually move the items in the guest room, very few guests would be wary of plants.
Pian Liuyunqing is one of these very few.
She didn't move all the plants out, but instead put them together in one place and then placed a new isolation and defense array plate.
After she sent the message to the others via jade slips, she flashed into the Golden Crow Space.
"Owner!"
"It really is the Buddha!"
As soon as Liu Yunqing stepped into the space, accompanied by two shouts, a red shadow rushed straight towards her.
Dodging Xiao Jiao's attack, Liu Yunqing reached out and pulled it back. Only then did she look at the Golden Crow Space, which had changed again, with some surprise.
"Why has it gotten bigger again? What's that new area over there? Oh well, I'll check back later."
Liu Yunqing's interest was piqued quickly but faded even faster, leaving Xiao Jiao, who was standing to the side with her mouth agape and eyes full of anticipation, completely unable to utter a single word.
After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, he went to the top of the volcano to check on the water sphere that was floating in the air and sealed by spiritual power.
"Xiao Jin, have you figured anything out?"
Little Gold did not transform into the form of a golden crow, but instead appeared as a thin golden veil, gently landing on Liu Yunqing's shoulder, and respectfully said:
"Nothing has been discovered yet; perhaps Little Fusang would know more about this."
Liu Yunqing released his divine sense and saw the Fusang Divine Tree in the corner, which had grown several times larger. He also thought of the Fusang Mother Tree in the heart of the earth, which was over ten thousand feet tall, lush and magnificent, but had lost its roots.
"Didn't Xiao Fusang say when she would wake up?"
"No, Little Fusang fell asleep this time without even having time to say hello. It must have received some benefits from the mother tree."
Liu Yunqing nodded, her gaze falling on the light gauze, and she curled the corners of her lips into a smile, saying:
"Little Gold has also made progress; it can now transform into new forms."
Seeing that its owner had discovered its little scheme, Little Gold chuckled and said:
"This is nothing! When Master's cultivation level is higher, I can transform into even more forms, and may even directly appear as Master's robes."
Liu Yunqing pretended not to understand the urging for his cultivation in Xiao Jin's words, and continued to chat and laugh with it for a while before preparing to personally examine it to see if he could find the secret of the Lucky Tea.
Just then, Xiao Jin's solemn voice came through:
"Oh, right, Master, I almost forgot to tell you the important thing."
Upon hearing Xiao Jin mention serious matters, Liu Yunqing immediately asked:
"What's up?"
"Of course it's a great thing to find treasure!"
"I sense that there is something in Biyue City that, if I could put into my space, would not only give Xiaojiao a pond, but also make the little hibiscus grow faster, and I could also plant other spiritual plants in my space!"
Liu Yunqing hadn't thought the mission was urgent before, but the last sentence piqued her interest, and she quickly asked:
"What is it?"
Xiao Jin didn't keep them in suspense, simply uttering a single word:
"water."
"water?"
Liu Yunqing was somewhat surprised.
After all, she had tried putting water into the space before.
Forget about digging a pond to store water; the water would be dried up instantly as soon as it entered the space, leaving not a trace of moisture.
Moreover, Liu Yunqing didn't just use one type of water; she tried all sorts of water, and none of them escaped the fate of evaporation.
Therefore, Liu Yunqing was surprised when she heard Xiao Jin say that what they needed to obtain this time was a type of water.
"My space can store water now? It won't evaporate?"
"Hmm... that's not it. It's because the water is special, but I don't know exactly what kind of water it is, so you'll have to find it yourself, Master."
After hearing Xiao Jin's words, Liu Yunqing seemed to understand something. He waved his hand towards the top of the volcano, and the "lucky water ball" flew in front of him.
Liu Yunqing pushed the water ball in front of Xiao Jin and asked:
"Does the water you mentioned have the aroma of this Lucky Tea?"
