"That's why I want to ask you, has any human being gone up to Phoenix Mountain recently? Has anything unusual happened on the mountain?" Lan Ziye said with a smile.
The Bone Demon thought for a moment and said, "No! No humans have come up the mountain in the past two years!"
"You can't leave Fenghuang Town?" Lan Ziye suddenly asked.
This was an easy answer. The Bone Demon smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course, if Xiaojun can't leave Phoenix Town, then naturally I can't leave either!"
"Where are the resources for your cultivation?" Lan Ziye asked.
"Resources? What resources?" The Bone Demon was stunned for a moment, then said, "Lord Suzaku likes me very much. Every once in a while, he gives me some Essence Stones for me to cultivate with!"
"Is it the low-grade essence stone in the compass?" Lan Ziye asked with a raised eyebrow.
The Bone Demon was so nervous that he stood up suddenly and said, "I only made five in total, and the Essence Stone I used was only a very small piece. I just wanted to use it to improve my brother's life. I didn't secretly take the Essence Stone out to sell!"
Lan Ziye laughed and said, "I'm not your Lord Suzaku, why are you so nervous?"
After a pause, he continued, "You rely on the few Essence Stones that Suzaku occasionally gives you to cultivate. When will you be able to reach the level of a Demon King? The lifespan of a Demon General is limited!"
"But all the monsters on Phoenix Mountain practice this way!" said the Bone Monster with a confused look on his face.
"Then do you want to change and become a demon king?" Lan Ziye took out a small porcelain bottle from his Qiankun bag and said, "This is a spirit-gathering potion I bought on the black market. It's very effective against demons. You want to try it?"
The man opened the cap of the small porcelain bottle with confusion, and instantly a fragrant aura came to his nose, making him feel refreshed like never before.
This potion is incredible, isn't it? Just by sniffing it, he felt as if he had been practicing for a long time, and his whole body felt comfortable!
"What is this...is it for me?" asked the Bone Demon in surprise.
Lan Ziye smiled calmly and said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want this Spirit Gathering Potion, you must tell me if anyone has been to Phoenix Mountain in the past two days!"
The Bone Demon said helplessly, "No one has ever been up there before! There's no reason for me to lie to you about this!"
Lan Ziye reached out and took the soul gathering potion from him and said, "In that case, I'll save this bottle of potion!" As he said that, he made a gesture to put the soul gathering potion away.
The Bone Demon had already sensed the magic of this Spirit Gathering Potion, so how could he possibly let it go? He hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, let me think about it..."
Lan Ziye raised the corner of his mouth and put the soul-gathering potion back on the table.
The Bone Demon frowned and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Does Lord Suzaku's friend count?"
"What do you mean?" Lan Ziye raised his eyebrows.
"Our Lord Suzaku has a very good friend, and they may have been friends for hundreds of years. In short, this friend comes every once in a while, and sometimes Lord Suzaku asks me to entertain him in town...but yesterday, his friend came, but he didn't let me entertain him." The Bone Demon replied thoughtfully.
"Do you know what that friend's name is?" Lan Ziye asked.
The Bone Demon shook his head and said, "I don't dare to inquire about Lord Suzaku's affairs! However... every time I entertain him, he asks me to call him Palace Master Jin."
"So is he a human or a monster?" Lan Ziye asked.
