"you……"
"I……"
"You go first."
"Do you want to eat pig's head? I roasted it. It's delicious."
The man looked at the pig's head that had been gnawed beyond recognition by Lai Siyu, and his stomach churned. He suppressed the discomfort and cast his eyes on the dish next to the pig's head. It looked delicious.
"I'd rather eat that. Thank you, young lady." The man pointed at the pig intestines and said to Lai Siyu.
Lai Siyu used chopsticks to pick up some pig intestines and put them into his bowl. The man picked up a piece of pig intestines and put it into his mouth. He took a light bite and found the meat to be chewy and soft. The taste was something he had never tasted before. He didn't know how to describe it, but he knew that this delicacy had captured all his taste buds.
Not only that, the dish also contained a faint trace of spiritual energy. Although the spiritual energy was small, it was purer than the spiritual energy in the Soul-Replenishing Pill and was directly absorbed by the body upon intake. Unlike elixirs, which had to filter out impurities through the Dantian meridians.
The man ate piece after piece happily. He looked very polite while eating. Lai Siyu felt that watching him eat was a kind of enjoyment. When she thought about her own eating style, it was so horrible.
"The girl's cooking skills are superb. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious food." The man handed the empty bowl and chopsticks to Lai Siyu and said sincerely.
"Haha~ If it tastes good, eat more. Pig intestines are not worth much." Lai Siyu's face turned red when she was praised by the man. She smiled foolishly and added braised pig intestines to the man's bowl.
"Pig intestines..." The man's face turned dark in an instant, and the image of the spirit pig pooping unconsciously replayed in his mind. He jumped up in a panic and lay down beside the stream, vomiting non-stop.
He moved too loudly, and some of the wounds that had just scabbed over were torn open again, staining his white shirt with blood. Not only that, his internal injuries were also aggravated by this ordeal.
"What's wrong with you?" Lai Siyu looked concerned, put down the bowl and went to see him.
"Don't come over here!" the man waved his hands weakly.
He flipped his hand and took out a bottle of medicine. As soon as the cork was opened, Lai Siyu smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.
After the man took a handful of pills, he sat down to meditate on the spot to refine the medicinal power. Not long after, his face gradually became rosy. It seemed that his injuries were almost healed under the effect of the pills.
After the man had almost recovered, he stood up and glanced at Lai Siyu with a complicated expression. Finally, as if he had made a particularly difficult decision in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said to Lai Siyu, "Miss, my name is Shen Yunfeng, and I will be responsible for you."
After saying this, he tore off a jade token from his waist and threw it to Lai Siyu, then threw a small flying boat into the air, jumped on it, and flew away as if escaping.
"Hey! Hey! Why did you run away..." Lai Siyu held the jade token that Shen Yunfeng had thrown to her in her hand. She stared in astonishment at the direction where the flying boat disappeared, muttering, "You don't even know where I live or what my name is. How can you be responsible? Really, you ran away without even paying me back for the medicine. Humph, you ran away in such a hurry just to avoid paying me for the medicine. It seems that being a good person is really not an option."
Lai Siyu didn't know whether the jade token given to her by Shen Yunfeng was worth much, so she put it in her storage bag and thought about finding time to visit the city to sell the jade token to see if she could recover some of her losses.
Lai Siyu drank and ate all the remaining pig blood soup, then put the pig intestines and pig head into a jar, washed the pots, pans, and other utensils in the stream, and put them into the storage bag.
The question now is, which direction should she go?
Lai Siyu thought for a long time and decided to walk downstream along the stream. He would eventually find a way out of the mountain.
The idea of walking along the stream is beautiful, but the reality is always cruel. The stream winds through the mountains, and the road along the stream is very rugged and uneven, with dead trees and broken logs blocking the way from time to time.
Fortunately, Lai Siyu is very strong and can always solve problems of any kind with brute force. She can just pick up broken wood and throw it aside, and if there is a huge rock blocking the way, she can just climb over it.
However, the end of the stream is a cliff, which gives Lai Siyu a headache.
Lai Siyu leaned over and looked down the cliff. There was a valley below. The stream fell straight into the pool in the valley, splashing countless water. These water splashes sparkled with colorful light in the sunlight, which was very beautiful.
The eyesight of a cultivator is several times that of an ordinary person. Lai Siyu looked around the valley and found that there were many spiritual herbs in the valley. Spiritual herbs are good things. They can be eaten raw, used to refine pills, and most importantly, they can be taken to the market to exchange for spirit stones.
Being poor, Lai Siyu would certainly not miss any opportunity to earn spirit stones. She found a strong vine and swung down by it like a clever monkey.
The valley was not big, covering about five mu. It didn't take Lai Siyu long to dig out fifty or sixty spiritual herbs, and these herbs looked quite old.
Rich! Rich! He was secretly delighted, imagining himself buried in a pile of spiritual stones.
“Ouch!”
Lai Siyu suddenly felt a pain in her fingertips. It turned out that the black cloud grass she was digging had a green, hairy copper piece the size of a coin hanging on it. There were some small thorns around the copper piece, and it was these thorns that hooked Lai Siyu's finger.
Humph, this is what happens when you get distracted while working.
The blood dripping from Lai Siyu's fingers dyed the copper piece red. The copper piece suddenly glowed red, flew into the air, spun around, and then drilled into Lai Siyu's eyebrows.
It all happened so fast that Lai Siyu didn't have time to react.
Something has gotten into my brain, how can this be tolerated!
Lai Siyu closed her eyes and concentrated her mind. She saw the copper piece lying in the center of her sea of consciousness. She stepped forward to examine it carefully and found that the copper piece should be a fragment that fell from something, and there was also a broken "Fu" character on the copper piece.
Lai Siyu tried everything to get the copper piece out of her sea of consciousness, but she had no choice but to give up.
Lai Siyu reluctantly withdrew his mental power from his sea of consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he was almost scared to death by the scene in front of him.
At this moment, she was standing on the edge of a huge deep pit. Inside the pit was raging magma. The scorching heat hit her face, scaring her so much that she stepped back repeatedly.
This is a huge cave. Two iron chains as thick as a baby's arm are fixed on the top of the cave, hanging down into the deep pit. The iron chains are painted with golden runes, which are sometimes bright and sometimes dark, giving it a mysterious look.
Countless purple and gold crystals were distributed around the deep pit. The size of these crystals was exactly the same as the spirit stones in Lai Siyu's memory, except for the color. In Lai Siyu's memory, the spirit stones were milky white and full of spiritual energy.
These crystals formed pictures depicting a fight between two figures, one purple and one gold. Eventually, the gold figure defeated the purple figure, disintegrating it into four smaller purple figures. Finally, the gold figure buried the four smaller purple figures in four separate pits...
