Liu Xiaoyuan was, after all, a master of internal energy transformation, and his abilities in both sight and hearing were far superior to those of Zhao Haonan, a master of internal energy concealment.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan heard the arguing coming from afar, while Zhao Haonan heard nothing at all.
However, as Liu Xiaoyuan sped towards the direction of the argument, Zhao Haonan saw this and asked, "Brother Liu, why are you running so fast?"
Liu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to lie and say, "Brother Zhao, I saw a rabbit. I haven't had rabbit meat in a long time, and I'm craving it!"
If he told the truth, it would definitely arouse Zhao Haonan's suspicion, so Liu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to tell this lie.
Zhao Haonan did not doubt Liu Xiaoyuan's words. On the contrary, he despised Liu Xiaoyuan in his heart: "Hmph, no wonder he is still only at the Ming Jin level. With such a useless appearance, he deserves to stay at the Ming Jin level for life."
That's what he thought, but Zhao Haonan said aloud, "Brother Liu, don't forget our purpose this time!"
Liu Xiaoyuan simply pretended not to hear Zhao Haonan's words and continued walking forward.
Seeing that Liu Xiaoyuan did not answer him, Zhao Haonan said nothing more and continued his search.
As they walked forward, the argument grew louder and louder, and Liu Xiaoyuan could hear it clearly. From their argument, Liu Xiaoyuan judged that the two had already fought, but both of them had stopped.
When Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at the scene, he found that he was the first person to arrive.
The two people who were arguing were very surprised and astonished to see Liu Xiaoyuan arrive.
Both men were around thirty years old. The tense atmosphere between them was immediately turned to Liu Xiaoyuan's attention by his sudden arrival.
As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at the scene, he immediately focused his attention on his surroundings, looking around to see if there was anything there.
Sure enough, Liu Xiaoyuan noticed a very small blood lingzhi mushroom in front of the two people arguing.
Upon seeing the Blood Ganoderma, Liu Xiaoyuan was immediately certain that these people had come for the Blood Ganoderma in the mountains.
Why does the blood-red lingzhi grow in the mountains? Why has no one discovered it all these years? How did these people find out? All of this remains a mystery.
This blood-ganoderma is very small; compared to the blood-ganoderma given to him by the little fox, it's practically a seedling.
"Who are you?" Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was examining the Blood Spirit Mushroom, one of the men with a buzz cut suddenly asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately smiled and said, "I'm just like you. Whatever you do, that's what I do."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the crew-cut man scrutinized Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "You're just a novice at the Ming Jin realm, yet you dare to be so arrogant in front of us. Aren't you afraid we'll kill you?"
Another man said, "If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now!"
Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't afraid at all. Both of them were at the Dark Force Realm. Without relying on the God-level Invincible System, it would be easy for Liu Xiaoyuan to teach them a lesson.
"If you two were to lecture me, it would definitely cause a huge commotion and attract even more people. I was drawn here just now by the sound of your argument!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the two men exchanged a glance and remained silent for a moment before the other man said, "Kid, let's split this Blood Spirit Mushroom among the three of us!"
It was clear that the man was very unwilling to share the Blood Spirit Mushroom with Liu Xiaoyuan, but then he thought that if more people came later, he might not even get a hair of it.
After weighing the pros and cons, the man said those words and then sought the opinion of the man with the crew cut.
The man with the crew cut shared the same idea as the other man, and naturally nodded in agreement.
Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't interested in this blood-ganoderma at all, because the little fox at home had given him a blood-ganoderma that was much bigger than this one.
Now, what interests Liu Xiaoyuan is how these people knew there was blood lingzhi in these mountains. You know, even the native locals didn't know this, so how did these outsiders find out?
"I don't want the Blood Spirit Mushroom, but you two have to answer one question for me!" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Upon hearing this, the two were taken aback. This guy didn't want such a good thing as the Blood Spirit Mushroom? Had he lost his mind?
The two were naturally delighted. If they didn't want it, that would be the best, as they could get a bigger share. Wouldn't that be better?
The crew-cut man immediately asked, "What question? I'll tell you the truth as long as I know the answer!"
Liu Xiaoyuan asked, "How did you know there was a Blood Ganoderma in this mountain?"
"What? You don't know?" The crew-cut man asked, somewhat surprised that Liu Xiaoyuan had asked such a question.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Don't worry about whether I know or not, just answer my question!"
Although Liu Xiaoyuan's words made the two of them very uncomfortable, as if he were ordering them around, the thought that if they answered the question, he would not want the Blood Spirit Mushroom made them feel much better.
The crew-cut man said, "As for why there is a Blood Spirit Mushroom in this mountain, I'm not really sure either. I'm just following the sect's instructions!"
What's going on? Zhao Haonan is from the Liuyun Sect, and these two men are also from sects. Could it be that this Blood Spirit Mushroom is related to sects?
Liu Xiaoyuan then turned his gaze to the remaining man, who spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I'm just like him, following the sect's orders!"
Hearing their answers, Liu Xiaoyuan was extremely frustrated, as it was as if he hadn't received any answers at all.
All that hard work, and it all came to nothing!
"Did your sect tell you how they knew there was a Blood Spirit Mushroom here?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, still not giving up.
Both of them shook their heads at the same time and said, "We don't know about that. These are things that are beyond our knowledge!"
Not getting the answer he wanted, Liu Xiaoyuan was somewhat frustrated. Looking at the Blood Spirit Mushroom not far away, he asked again, "What should you do next after finding the Blood Spirit Mushroom?"
The crew-cut man finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "I said, didn't you say we only needed to answer one question? We've already answered two questions, are you ever going to stop?"
Liu Xiaoyuan glared at the crew-cut man and said, "If you want to get the Blood Spirit Mushroom in peace, answer my questions honestly. Otherwise, if I shout, it's a pipe dream for the two of you to split this Blood Spirit Mushroom."
Faced with Liu Xiaoyuan's threat, the two men were extremely angry, but they were helpless because Liu Xiaoyuan had their weakness in his grasp, forcing them to compromise.
Finally, the crew-cut man said, "After we find the Blood Spirit Mushroom, we will return to the sect to report, and the sect will send someone to handle it!"
