After hesitating for a moment, Hong Zhengmen took out some bottles and jars from his storage bag. "These are all made by my sect. You may need them in your future cultivation."
Hua Xiangyun glanced at them, uninterested. These so-called pills all contained poison. She wasn't asking for trouble; she'd rather cultivate steadily.
"Not interested."
"Why aren't you interested?" This was different from what Hong Zhengmen had guessed. The other party didn't excitedly accept these things and then let bygones be bygones.
"These are some pills, which are extremely beneficial for both injury and cultivation." Thinking that the other party didn't know their value, he introduced them to the void, "These are bone and tendon pills, which are extremely useful for body tempering. At least in future battles, you'll have a better chance than others."
There's also this Qingming Pill, which can help maintain clarity of mind should one encounter evil spirits.
And this hemostatic powder..."
Hua Xiangyun listened to him boasting and exaggerating about the porcelain bottle in his hand, but remained unmoved.
What good are these things, no matter how well they're explained? They're still external forces; what you really need to improve is your own cultivation.
Hong Zhengmen's mouth was dry from talking, but he didn't hear any noise outside. He couldn't help but panic. Was the other party planning to trap him here to die?
If this formation isn't broken, he can't get out. Even if his sect finds him by following the clues, they'll miss him.
Knowing that he only had enough dry food for one meal in his storage bag and hadn't even stored any water, he realized that he would lose his life here in a few days.
No matter what, he couldn't let the other party leave, so Hong Zhengmen took out his real trump card, "If you don't like any of these, young friend, I also have life-saving talismans, invisibility talismans, mantra talismans, and five thunder talismans bestowed by my sect."
Hearing no movement outside, he could only grit his teeth and take it out again. "I also have a cultivation manual here, a secret technique passed down only by our sect..."
Hearing this, Hua Xiangyun finally couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you talk big? If you really had those cultivation insights, and they were passed down from your sect, would you take them out so easily? Did you find them in some remote corner?"
Hua Xiangyun noticed the change in Hong Zhengmen's expression and knew that she had guessed it.
I wonder what kind of sect this Nan'an Sect is. Its disciples are full of lies, and they use ruthless methods to refine magical artifacts. It seems that they are not from a reputable sect.
However, the name he just introduced was quite interesting: Hong Zhengmen. It's a shame that it doesn't live up to the "Zheng" in his name.
Hong Zhengmen wasn't annoyed that his guess was right. After all, he had obtained that ancient book by chance and had studied it for a long time without gaining anything.
I had planned to throw him out to escape this ordeal, but now I have to reconsider.
After searching for a long time, almost emptying the storage bag and his own collection, Hong Zhengmen's face darkened.
He kept increasing the stakes, and the other party still hasn't given up after so long; he's truly insatiable.
“This is all I have,” Hong Zhengmen tossed the storage bag onto the pile of items. He was getting annoyed that the bribery hadn’t worked.
He wanted to release all the ghosts he had previously created, but he didn't know how the formation was made, as even the souls couldn't move.
"How about this, young friend, name your conditions, and I'll try my best to agree to anything that's within my reach."
If these things don't appeal to you, then you can only increase the offer: "I am also a disciple favored by my master. As long as you let me go, I will definitely prepare a generous gift package when we get back, and I promise you will be satisfied."
Hua Xiangyun, "Where's the gun you used to try and kill me?"
Hong Zhengmen didn't expect her to ask about this. He had obtained the wooden gun by chance, and it was even more convenient to use than some magical artifacts.
He had just ignored it, but he didn't expect that the other party had taken notice.
"That is, after all, a forbidden item; it is inappropriate for you to take it, young friend."
Hua Xiangyun: "Would it be appropriate for you to take it, fellow Daoist?"
If I hadn't acted quickly, I might be the one asking for a favor right now.
I'm sure you don't have my patience to haggle.
Hong Zhengmen, having been exposed, didn't flinch, despite his thick skin. "Everyone has different needs. Since you're a rogue cultivator, your resources are probably limited. With these things, I can make up for it later. It's much better than you struggling on your own."
Hua Xiangyun doesn't have a sect, but she does have a master. Moreover, her master has only revealed a part of his wealth to her, which is far beyond what this well-connected disciple can match.
Hua Xiangyun felt that the things the other party had brought out were rather shabby. If there was even one thing that she could find acceptable, she might be tempted.
"It's fine to give you that gun, but it's not very accurate. If you end up hurting yourself, don't blame me."
Hong Zhengmen's eyes flickered. "I just don't know how to give this to you."
He took something out of the canvas bag and gestured in the air, the opening of which almost aimed at Hua Xiangyun at one point.
Hong Zhengmen suddenly realized that he couldn't get out, but he could lure the other party in.
With the magical treasures on his body and the items in his hands, he was not without the power to fight.
If we spare her life, is it still difficult to escape this formation?
Hua Xiangyun was not the naive girl he thought she was. "After many days, the things in your hands will become ownerless. Enjoy your last moments."
Seeing that he was still scheming, Hua Xiangyun added some ingredients to the formation. Hong Zhengmen felt as if the scene had changed, and before long, he was driven to madness.
Hua Xiangyun had already determined that the other party had no way to leave, so it was even less likely that she would leave this potential problem behind.
After changing the formation and setting up a few more array flags, the Chen family's backyard fell silent again, with nothing but a mess on the ground.
Chen Xiaoli stood protectively in front of Xiaobao, not daring to say anything more to plead for him.
I just hope that this little master won't meddle in other people's business and will leave home as soon as possible.
Hua Xiangyun looked at the mother and son who were leaning against each other and said, "I will borrow this place for a few days. Just live as you always have."
Please consider what I said before. I'll come back in a few days; maybe I can be of some help.
Chen Xiaoli said, "...Thank you, Master!" She didn't know what else to say.
She was reluctant to let Xiaobao leave, but for the sake of the future, and even the future bond between mother and son, she had already made up her mind.
If the young master is willing to come back in a few days, that's perfect. It will allow the mother and son to say goodbye and cherish these last moments together.
Hua Xiangyun looked at the sky and didn't dare to delay any longer. After all, she was now an educated youth and had to go to the village to get her assignment early the next morning.
Watching Hua Xiangyun disappear into the night, Chen Xiaoli then took Xiaobao home.
To her surprise, Xiao Bao moved far away from her at this moment, which made her feel a little sad.
"I can't get too close to Mom, it will hurt you." Xiao Bao took a few steps back.
