Chapter 117 - Reentry into the Tiger's Mouth

"Miss, let him run away." Dong Mei said.

"He's injured, but he can't run far. His leg even got hit by the Myriad Ants Heart Drilling Needle. Let's chase after him." The beautiful girl let out a cold snort. She put down the few wild beasts she had just found and immediately started chasing after the people outside the cave.

"Miss, wait for me." The maid, Dong Mei, quickly gave chase.

"Miss, Miss, we've finally found you." Within the canyon, a figure jumped up and directly flew across the void, landing in front of the beautiful young girl. It was none other than Elder Wu, clad in a white robe.

"Elder Wu, why have you come?" The beautiful girl was stunned as she stared at the hundreds of people and Elder Wu inside the canyon. She didn't expect them to arrive so fast.

"Miss, we've been looking for you for more than a month. It's good that you're fine. Hurry up and go back. If you don't go back now, I'm afraid the Sect Leader will personally come." Elder Wu said.

"Miss, let's go back." Dong Mei said. Seeing that Elder Wu and the others had arrived, she heaved a sigh of relief. During this period of time, she was always on tenterhooks.

"What little thief." Elder Wu asked doubtfully.

"It's just a demon beast. When Miss breaks through to the Martial Spirit, you can choose a demon beast with good bloodline to train into a mount. There aren't many good demon beasts in this Misty Valley Mountain Range."

"Little thief, the next time I see you, I won't forgive you." The beautiful girl said softly with hatred.

"Miss, let's go back." w.a.n.g Mingyue and Elder Sun arrived at the beautiful young girl's side and spoke to her.

Some of the male disciples even had nosebleeds, but they could only secretly bleed. The young miss of the Sect was not someone they could easily afford.

"Forget it, there isn't much fun in this Misty Cloud Mountain Range. I'll head back to the sect and prepare to break through to the Martial Spirit Stage so that I can find a mount to play with." The beautiful young girl said softly.

"Young miss still has three years, three years from now, the compet.i.tion between the three sects will happen once every fifteen years. When that time comes, young miss will be able to stand up for the Yunyang Sect." Elder Sun said.

At this point, his legs were also limping and he was in a very sorry state. At this moment, Lu Shaoyu naturally did not know about everything that was happening in the valley, but if he did, perhaps he would not be able to escape. At the very least, the City Lord of Fog City, w.a.n.g Mingyue, could prove that he was a disciple of the Cloudy Sun Sect.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Lu Shaoyu didn't dare to stop at all. His injuries worsened once more, and the blood within his body surged as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was also just luck that Lu Shaoyu didn't run into any other trouble, no mercenary groups, or even any other groups along the way.

"Ah!" Without knowing where he was, Lu Shao You limped and tumbled down a hillside. He pa.s.sed through a thick patch of weeds and shrubs. His clothes were torn to shreds and his back was scratched by some bushes.

Lu Shaowu landed in a small valley. This valley was extremely well-hidden. The valley wasn't big, but it was completely hidden by the trees and shrubs.

Lu Shao You spat out a mouthful of blood and crawled up to take a look at the valley. The valley was hidden and was the place he needed to rest. He needed to recover from his injuries as soon as possible.

Lu Shaoyu entered the cave and consumed two Grade 3 Healing Pills in one go. He sat down cross-legged to recuperate. His injuries were too severe, and the most important thing for him to do now was to recuperate.

Ten days later, the morning in the Misty Capital Mountain Range was always shrouded in mist. The morning sunlight was breaking through the morning mist, bringing with it countless rays of light as it shone on the dewdrops, creating a rainbow of colors.

"Deng deng deng …"

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps disturbed the silence of the mountain range. A black cloaked figure flashed by, and with a few leaps, it streaked across the distance of several hundred meters.

His face was deathly pale, and with a few leaps, he instantly disappeared from where he stood. With his serious injuries, his speed was also as fast as a ghost's, and it could be seen that this person's strength had definitely reached an exceptionally strong level.

An hour after the black-robed old man disappeared, another two old men appeared in the mountain range. The two of them appeared like demons and their cultivation levels were terrifying to the extreme.

"This old poisonous object is seriously injured, it can't run far." An old man squatted down and said as he looked at the bloodstains on the ground.

"I must find him, or else I'll be in trouble." Another gloomy old man said.

"We've almost chased the entire Fog Mountain Range. We were able to escape after exchanging two blows. That old poisonous substance is quite powerful." The first old man said.

On a hillside, a black-robed old man was observing his surroundings. A moment later, he seemed to have discovered something and leaped down.

"Who …"

As his mind probed around, Lu Shaowu suddenly felt something was wrong. It was as if an aura was approaching him, and as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shaowu's body instantly became immobilized. Numerous finger marks landed on his body, and after condensing his zhen qi, his meridians and meridians were sealed, he immediately fell powerlessly to the ground.

"Little guy, I need to find a place to heal my injuries. I don't want to kill anyone today, so you should just stay here. Wait for my injuries to recover, then I'll let you go." The old man looked at Lu Shaoyu for a moment. Then, he threw out a few handprints. A black mist was placed at the entrance of the cave. Then, he put a few elixirs into his mouth and sat down cross-legged to recuperate.

"F * ck, laozi has committed a crime this year, I just escaped the Demon Claw and was trapped again!" Lu Shaoyu cursed inwardly. He wasn't in his prime this year, but his luck had been too bad. He had been caught out of the blue, but he didn't even know what had happened.

"Spiritual Energy, is it a Spirit Master?" Feeling several strands of spiritual energy seal his meridians and acupuncture points, Lu Shaowu was slightly surprised. This old man was actually a spirit cultivator. Immediately, he activated the Yin-Yang spiritual martial art and began to quietly refine and channel some of his spiritual energy into his body.

Sensing the strength of the black-robed old man in front of him, Lu Shao You didn't dare to let the old man discover any clues as he quietly refined him.

After refining the spirit energy restrictions on his body, his injuries had recovered by 80%, but at this time, Lu Shaoyu didn't dare to move an inch. His intuition told Lu Shaoyu that this old man in black was not someone to be trifled with, if he was even slightly careless, he would lose his life, and this old man's aura was much stronger than any other expert he had ever seen.

He secretly sized up the black-robed old man. He had long black hair, was thin, and his entire body was wrapped in a dense black light.

"A Spiritual Master." Lu Shaoyu stared at the old man in black robes. Lu Shaoyu couldn't see through the old man's cultivation level, but he knew that he was the most powerful one he had ever seen.

"Huff …"

At this moment, the black-robed elder slightly exhaled a mouthful of foul air. Then, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Shaoyu. His sharp gaze caused Lu Shaoyu's heart to tremble; it was as if the elder's gaze could see through his soul.

"Little brat, I didn't think that you would be able to secretly remove my restriction. It's just that your tricks are not enough to fool me." The black robed elder stared at Lu Shaowu.

"I need someone to order me around. Take this pill, or I'll kill you." The old man threw a black coloured pill to Lu Shaoyu, but his eyes didn't show any expression.

Lu Shaoyu was surprised. This pill wasn't some tonic. If he took it, it would be very troublesome.

Looking at the old man in black robes, Lu Shaoyu knew that this old man wasn't the Scorpion Lady Scorpion. He had no chance to refuse or escape, unless he wanted to die.

"I'll consume it." As the pill entered his mouth, a strange energy began to spread through his meridians and spread through his four limbs and bones. Lu Shaowu could clearly feel the strange energy stuck and did not move even a little bit within his limbs and bones.

Lu Shaoyu looked at his palm. At this moment, there was a bean-sized black dot in his palm. It seemed that he had been poisoned. He was shocked and didn't know if this old man was telling the truth or not.

"Just tell me what you want me to do, but how do I know if you'll give me the antidote? If you don't, then I'm dead for sure. After all, I'm dead, so why are you controlling me?" Perhaps Uncle Nan could save him, but Uncle Nan's strength was not any weaker than this old man's. Furthermore, Uncle Nan had given him a jade slip with a lot of introductions and methods for detoxifying the poison pills, but there was no description for the Bloodthirsty Bone Melting Pill.

It was as if Lu Shaoyu's heart was struck by a heavy blow, and his soul was being suppressed. Zhou Kong had an invisible pressure enveloping him, and the more he struggled, the greater the pressure became. It was as if his body was being torn apart as beads of cold sweat trickled down his back.

"If you like bullying the weak, then I have nothing else to say. You can kill me." It was because this old man wanted to control him, that he had matters to attend to, and wouldn't actually kill him.

"Afraid? Who wouldn't be afraid of death? I haven't lived enough, but I can't be sure if I can live. Before that, I don't want to be controlled. It would be better to die earlier." Cold sweat the size of beans trickled down his back, but he still clenched his teeth and raised his head.

"Haha, bullying the weak and relying on the strong and bullying the weak is already undeniable. This world is where the strong is respected, so what you said is the same as farting. Even if the weak dies, no one will sympathize with them. The victor is the king, and the loser is the bandit, don't you understand?" The old man stared at Lu Shaoyu and suddenly burst into laughter. He continued, "However, I can see that you are a kid with a body full of pride, unlike a person who is afraid of death. I promise that when my injuries are healed, I will help you cure the poison.

"I believe you. Tell me, what can I do for you?" As the formless pressure disappeared, Lu Shaowu's entire body felt comfortable.

"I need you to help me find a medicinal ingredient called the Dragon Tooth Gra.s.s. I need to concoct pills." The old man said.

"Dragon Tooth Gra.s.s." This Dragon Whiskered Gra.s.s was usually used to refine Tier 4 and above medicinal herbs. Some Tier 6 medicinal pills would be used as well, although not as the main ingredient, but its value was still exceptionally expensive. At least twenty thousand gold coins would be required, but he didn't have any on him, and it wasn't something that could be found by others.

"Dragon Tooth Gra.s.s, this isn't easy to find. With my current strength, if I were to go out and look for medicinal herbs, even if I were to come across them, I might not be able to get them back." It was very difficult to find the Dragon Whiskered Gra.s.s, but there was a Dragon Whiskered Gra.s.s in the Spatial Pouch of the head of the Violent Wolf Mercenary Group. There were also quite a few other medicinal ingredients and gold coins that were worth around a hundred thousand gold coins, of which the Dragon Whiskered Gra.s.s was the most expensive.

Lu Shaoyu took the pill and immediately said, "The Dragon Whisker Gra.s.s isn't easy to find. I might not be able to find it for a year, so I'll think of a way to buy it from those mercenary groups. But I don't have enough gold coins on me."

He had the Dragon Tooth Gra.s.s on him, but it would be too much of a loss if he were to give it to this Poison Marshal directly. Lu Shaoyu never did anything because he was at a disadvantage, so he said this.

The soul poison marshal looked at Lu Shaoyu for a moment, then threw him a pill. The rich fragrance of the pill immediately filled the cave, and he said coldly: "I don't have gold coins, this is a Tier 4 spiritual pill, it's enough to exchange for five Dragon-Toothed Gra.s.s. Quickly go and find the Dragon Tooth Gra.s.s, otherwise, don't even think about getting the antidote."

"Got it." It was actually a Spirit-Strengthening Pill, a very good item. Uncle Nan's jade slip had an introduction on it, although it was an early Grade Four Spirit Dan, it was used to strengthen the Spiritual Energy and strengthen the soul. More importantly, this Spirit-Enhancing Pill was something that was absolutely necessary to a Spirit Master when breaking through to the Spirit Soul Realm.

He didn't know if Uncle Nan could cure him of the poison. If Uncle Nan could, then he wouldn't need to be under the control of the soul poison marshal when he returned to Cyan Cloud Town. However, if Uncle Nan couldn't, then he was finished.

Xiaolong was in a deep slumber to achieve a breakthrough. He wasn't sure if he could cure the poison in his body. Lu Shao You didn't dare to take the risk because his life was in danger.

Forget it, if my luck isn't good enough, I can only be unlucky. Lu Shao You inwardly sighed. He didn't plan on going back immediately to search for the Dragon Tooth Gra.s.s. If he went too fast, it would arouse the suspicion of the Poison Marshal. It would be better for him to stay a day or two before returning.
