Although the efficacy of Yellow Spring Water is so amazing, finding it is naturally difficult, and the first hurdle is Heihe.
There is only one way to cross the river, and that is to find the skeleton old man docked on the shore and take his boat across.
If Xue Huan didn't believe what Wang Sui and the others said at first, then when she saw the Jindan cultivator being killed by the tentacle monster in the river, she no longer had any hope.
She was about to board the spirit boat and continue along the river when a man wearing the iconic attire of the Hehuan Sect called out to her, "Fairy, could you wait a moment?"
"What do you want?"
"Can the thing the fairy is wearing on her face block the fishy smell in the river?" the man asked.
Xue Huan nodded: "Not bad."
The man smiled and said, "Does the fairy have any extra ones? I'm willing to pay with spirit stones."
Xue Huan didn't expect that when she came to the secret realm, she didn't find any treasures, but instead encountered a business opportunity.
"Yes, this thing is called a mask. It's fifty spirit stones each. Do you want one?"
A female cultivator next to the man shouted, "Such a small thing costs fifty spirit stones, why don't you just go and grab it!"
Xue Huan spread her hands and said, "I didn't ask you to buy it. He came to me to buy it. Fifty spirit stones, that's the price. It's up to you whether you want to buy it or not."
"Okay, fifty spirit stones, just consider it as making friends with the fairy. I want two, and this is one hundred spirit stones, please keep them." The man handed over a medium-grade spirit stone, and his fingers seemed to scratch Xue Huan's palm inadvertently.
Xue Huan frowned and looked over, but saw the man looking back at her calmly. She couldn't help but wonder if she was being too suspicious.
However, the female cultivator next to her glared at Xue Huan fiercely when she saw this scene. This woman was obviously not very good-looking, but she actually made Brother Yan fall in love with her!
This female cultivator is called Xiao Ziqiong, and she and Xiang Maoyan, whom she calls "Brother Yan", are a pair of dual cultivation partners. In the Hehuan Sect, finding a dual cultivation partner is a very common thing.
Because Xiang Maoyan is handsome and has good qualifications, he is very popular among the female cultivators in the Hehuan Sect. Many female cultivators are willing to have a one-night stand with him. Xiang Maoyan rejected them all on the surface, but secretly hooked up with many female cultivators.
As Xiao Ziqiong's partner, how could she not notice? But she didn't blame Xiang Maoyan for being greedy, but instead blamed those female cultivators for shamelessly seducing her Taoist partner, and she took out her anger on those female cultivators.
At the same time, Xiang Maoyan was watched more closely, and even if they saw him talking to a female cultivator, they would be extremely vigilant.
Seeing that Xiang Maoyan not only took the initiative to talk to Xue Huan, but also took the opportunity to contact her, the fire in her heart suddenly rose. She was angry but also felt strange. That female cultivator was not even half as pretty as her, and Brother Yan actually liked such a thing. Could it be that she pushed him too hard, causing him to become less picky now?
How could she know that Xiang Maoyan had such sharp eyes.
He thought that although Xue Huan had an ordinary face, her figure was very slim and well-proportioned, which made him very hot. Her creamy skin was even more mouth-watering, making him want to have a little touch of her.
As a veteran in the love field, he has played with countless women and knows best that a woman's appearance is secondary, while her figure and skin are the key. After all, you can't see her appearance even if you turn off the lights.
Or you can cover her face with a veil when doing that, which will add more interest.
Xue Huan had no idea that even after using magic to conceal her true appearance, she could still attract a toad. If she knew what Xiang Maoyan was thinking, she would probably beat him to death on the spot.
After getting the mask, Xiang Maoyan tried it on immediately and said in surprise: "It really can resist the fishy smell without consuming any spiritual power. This mask is really good."
After receiving such free publicity from him, several more people came to Xue Huan to buy masks, and they were all very satisfied after putting them on.
Xue Huan is not short of these spirit stones, but who can resist the joy of making money?
I took the opportunity to publicize the benefits of masks and attracted a few more customers.
Only when she was sure that no one would come to buy anymore did she stop with a sense of unfulfilled desire and continue on her journey in the spirit boat.
Xiang Maoyan followed with Xiao Ziqiong, "Fairy, the secret realm is dangerous, why don't we travel together? We can solve any problems together."
Xue Huan refused, "No, I'm used to fighting alone."
This was half true and half false. If she met someone with similar interests, she naturally wouldn't mind making a companion, but if that person had bad intentions, it would be better for her to go alone.
Although the man helped her discover a business opportunity, she didn't have a good impression of him.
When meeting a stranger for the first time, the first impression is often the most intuitive. If you feel repulsed, then that person is generally not worth getting along with.
This is probably a natural defense mechanism of human beings, which is what ordinary people call the sixth sense.
As a monk, this feeling will be even stronger.
Xiang Maoyan, who was rejected, looked at Xue Huan's back as she walked away, and his eyes became even more interested.
Xiao Ziqiong instinctively felt a sense of crisis and grabbed his hand: "Brother Yan, since that woman is so ungrateful, why are you still bothering her?"
Xiang Maoyan patted her head, the corner of his mouth tilted to one side, with a wicked smile: "What, is my little Ziqiong jealous?"
"Xiao Ziqiong" is Xiang Maoyan's nickname for Xiao Ziqiong. It is a homonym of her name, and adding a small character makes it seem very doting.
When Xiao Ziqiong heard him call her that and looked at his devilishly charming smile, her eyes suddenly blurred, her cheeks flushed, and she whimpered and burrowed into his arms, "How could I?"
"Okay, no, my little Ziqiong is the best." Xiang Maoyan patted her head gently, his voice full of infinite doting, but his eyes were indifferent, and it was obvious that he didn't mean what he said.
Xue Huan naturally had no idea what was happening behind her.
She flew along the Black River for a whole day until it was dark, but she still didn't find the skeleton old man.
It is said that the Yellow Spring Secret Realm is divided into two parts, the inner ring and the outer ring, with the Black River as the boundary in the middle. Outside the Black River is the outer ring, and across the Black River is the inner ring. The Yellow Spring is located somewhere in the inner ring.
Since the Black River is circular, as long as we keep moving forward, we will find the skeleton old man sooner or later.
It was already dark, so it was not advisable to hurry on. According to Wang Sui and the others, at night, demons and ghosts would emerge from the Yellow Springs Secret Realm, and human cultivators were the very food source for those demons.
Before it gets dark, you have to find a safe place to stop. If you can't find one, build a safe place yourself.
Xue Huan used her spiritual sense to explore the area for several miles, but she didn't see any place where people could hide. It seemed that she had to build a safe place by herself.
