Although the person opposite was a girl, she was dressed in a black robe under the faint fluorescent light, looking very gloomy.
"You've arrived. I've come to get the Heart-Piercing Pill." The person who came was September, and her expression was icy as she spoke.
"What's the rush? We can talk. Don't you need to thank me first?" The person still didn't turn around, but her tone seemed to imply a sense of certainty.
"Hmph! Why should I thank you? Don't forget, we have a deal. Once things are done, I'll hand over my Illusionary Spirit Pill to you." September didn't seem to care much about her.
"Oh dear, don't be so defiant. No one's forcing you. You don't have to pay." Although the woman spoke sarcastically, her tone seemed to be intentionally teasing September.
"Dare you not hand it over? My antidote is still on you. There's no sentimentality between us. I'm warning you, if you dare to lie to me, I'll make sure you get nothing."
"How could that be? You said it's a deal, it's a deal, how could I lie to you?" The figure in front slowly turned around. Underneath her black robe, her face glowed with a faint green light. She had slender eyes and thin lips. It was none other than Su Li, who had not shown herself until now. "Besides, we've also given you various methods for using spiritual power for free. Even if you don't use the Illusionary Spirit Pill, you can still roam freely in the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm. In a way, you've made a profit."
"That sounds nice," September scoffed. "Who knows what you're really up to? When we first proposed the exchange, you gave me this pill, and my magic did increase. But not long ago you told me that this magic pill is actually poison."
"Besides, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. It's just a matter of mutual benefit. Once you understand that, you'll be fine." Su Li put her hands behind her back, raised her head slightly, and sighed at the sky. "Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Since you've started, you should go all out and not back down."
"Stop talking nonsense. There's only a transaction between us. You shouldn't be saying these things to me. Give me the pills!" September reached out, looking at Su Li expressionlessly. "But I'm warning you, don't try anything funny. You must ensure that our Mo Tian is unharmed when he wakes up. Otherwise, you'll get nothing."
“I know, I’m a woman too, and I understand that women can give up anything for love,” Su Li said, reaching into her black robe and pulling out a pill. She took two steps forward and placed it in September’s outstretched palm. She whispered in September’s ear and leaned forward, “Give him this. If you’re the first thing he sees when he opens his eyes, then there will be no one else in his eyes or heart.”
"Okay! I'll trust you one more time." She clenched her fist and turned to leave.
"I wish you success and all your wishes come true." Su Li waved, a green light flashing across her face. She turned away only after September left.
"Sizzle..." A black snake at least three meters long appeared in front of him. When it saw Su Li, it raised its neck and nodded to her.
Su Li stepped forward, placed her foot on his broad back, and said, "Go see your master."
At Su Li's command, the black snake nodded its raised head, and with a "whoosh," it swiftly moved its body and disappeared into the grass. As they vanished, the black mist that had enveloped the area quickly dissipated...
Continue upwards until you reach the summit. Amidst the clouds and mist, a massive black boulder stands upright on the mountaintop. Standing before it and looking ahead, it seems there is no path ahead.
