Although it couldn't be heard at all amidst Hua Xiao's shrill cries, the very obvious swallowing of saliva was something that... cough, something that the snake couldn't ignore.
The small and innocent snake trembled with fear and, urging Hua Xiao's sharp and angry voice, slowly moved backward.
Seeing this, Xuan Di frowned in displeasure, and his cold voice rang out, "What are you moving for! Go stand there and stay put! If you dare to ruin my good show, I'll turn you into snake soup right now!"
As he spoke, Xuandi raised his hand and pointed.
Immediately afterwards, the trembling creature, with its head down, shuffled over quickly, as if afraid that if it was even a little slow, it would be chopped into pieces, gutted, and sprinkled with salt.
On the other side, Luo Dangdang walked over, completely unaware of what was happening, muttering to herself, "I've been in the alchemy room for months, and my eyesight is getting blurry. How come it's so dark in broad daylight? What's this little girl doing here?"
Hearing Luo Dangdang say this, Huo Chengche and Xuandi roughly guessed that this simple-minded Taoist priest must have been tricked into coming here by the person who claimed to be the "God Lord," and was only helping him refine pills. He probably knew nothing about what was happening outside.
Huo Chengche glanced at Luo Dangdang, who was muttering to herself as she walked, and asked casually, "In this desolate wilderness, what does Daoist Luo use to refine pills?"
Luo Dangdang didn't catch the boy's attempt to trick her into saying anything. She snorted and said arrogantly, "What does a little brat know? The scenery on this mountain may be ordinary, but the simpler and more unadorned it is, the more spiritual energy it contains!"
"Liar! There's no spiritual energy on this mountain at all!" The little boy pouted and complained in his childish voice, "This mountain is just filled with the murky energy from that broken rock. It's spread all over half the mountain, making it dirty, smelly, and filthy!"
The little boy's words immediately provoked Luo Dangdang's angry retort, "What do you know, you little baby who hasn't even grown all your teeth yet?! This mountain is a thousand-year-old sacred mountain! There are thousand-year-old human-shaped Ganoderma lucidum growing in the mountain, which can even make the voice of a child!"
Huo Chengche narrowed his eyes and said in a deep, cold voice, "So you used this humanoid Ganoderma lucidum that can make a child's voice to refine the pills?"
“Yes,” Luo Dangdang snorted coldly, opening his mouth to launch into a long-winded explanation of the alchemical texts.
Huo Chengche coldly interrupted, "Have you seen these Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms? Did you put them into the alchemy furnace yourself?"
Luo Dangdang was taken aback by the cold aura in the young man's words. She paused for a moment, glanced at Huo Chengche, and then said, "It takes hundreds of catties of Ganoderma lucidum to produce one pill. Of course, I would not do such a rough job as putting the Ganoderma lucidum into the pill furnace myself."
“No wonder.” Xuan Di’s deep and faint voice rang out lightly. Apart from Huo Chengche who was standing next to him, Luo Dangdang, who had just walked over, did not hear it.
Huo Chengche glanced at Xuan Di and nodded at him.
"Where is the little girl? Let me take a look at her."
Luo Dangdang walked closer, still oblivious to what was about to happen. She looked at the little girl being held down by the guards with great interest and asked Xuandi, who was standing nearby, "Was this child like this when you came? Do you know how she suddenly became like this?"
Hua Xiao was pressed aside, and the giant python, under Xuan Di's command, hid in the corner behind her.
Luo Dangdang stood next to Xuandi, but still couldn't see the giant python.
