"That's strange. Fellow Daoist Fan, could it be that only you could escape, and I should be buried in the South Caiping?"
When Xiao Hua saw Fan Daomao, he felt relaxed. Although he said so, he had a smile on his face.
"Not at all, not at all!"
Fan Daomao was embarrassed. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please don't blame us. Fellow Daoist was besieged by the ice worms at the beginning, and was also ambushed by the disciples of the Black Spirit Sect. We … thought that even with our cultivation, it would be difficult to escape. Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xiao … I'm afraid that it bodes ill rather than well!"
"Fellow Daoist Xiao …" As they spoke, three people flew from the foot of the mountain. They were Li Xiaowen, Fu Shu, Xun Feiyan, and only Yong Shang was missing!
"Greetings, fellow Daoists. I was lucky to escape with my life!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands and greeted.
"Ai, not bad, not bad!"
Li Xiaowen returned the greeting and said, "In such a dangerous situation, Fellow Daoist Xiao was actually able to escape, very … good!"
Then, he looked around and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you also saw the situation last night. In the ice worm swarm, we couldn't even take care of ourselves, so it was difficult for us to help you. Please forgive us!"
Xiao Hua shook his head and said with a smile, "I already said last night that in the South Caiping, I will be careful. If there is any accident, I won't dare to implicate you!
Whether I stay in the valley or escape outside, it's I's business. It's not your fault! "
Then, he looked around and asked with concern, "That … Fellow Daoist Yong … did you stay in the valley?"
Li Xiaowen smiled bitterly and told him what happened.
It turned out that after Li Xiaowen and the other four were discovered by the ice worms, they tried their best to escape. However, their flying speed was not as good as the ice worms, and they were not as skillful as Xiao Hua. Therefore, they could only rely on the yellow talismans in their storage bags to disperse the ice worms while trying their best to escape from the valley. In that situation, no one had the time to look at each other!
When they escaped from the South Caiping, they found that Xiao Hua and Yong Shang were missing!
There was no need to talk about Xiao Hua. When they were escaping from the Southern Caiping, they had already seen Xiao Hua throw out an incomparably powerful Fireball Talisman and be besieged by a swarm of ice worms. In their impression, with Xiao Hua's cultivation, there was no way he could survive!
But what about Yong Shang?
Based on everyone's memories, it seemed that Yong Shang had followed behind them and escaped together. As for where and when he disappeared, no one knew!
Although the four of them managed to escape with their lives, which could be considered a great fortune, but … another problem appeared. Apart from Fan Daomao's silk bag, which had already been used, Xiao Hua and Yong Shang's silk bags had not been used. Without these two people's silk bags, no one would know where the final location would be, and the so-called cultivation technique and treasure would naturally be hopeless!
Actually, when they saw Xiao Hua being besieged by the ice worms, they had already somewhat given up in their hearts. However, the four of them still waited here, hoping that after Fan Daomao came out, the five of them would discuss what to do.
But what shocked them was that the one who came out wasn't Fan Daomao, but Xiao Hua, who they thought had long been frozen into an icicle!
"Spirit Husbandry Sect?"
When Xiao Hua heard Li Xiaowen's description, he couldn't help but be stunned. He asked curiously, "Those two short and fat cultivators were from Spirit Husbandry Sect?"
"Two Spirit Husbandry Sect disciples?" Fu Shu asked curiously, "Not just one?"
"Aiyo, that's right …" When Xiao Hua heard this, he knew that he had let it slip. When he was ambushed by the second Spirit Husbandry Sect disciple, Li Xiaowen and the rest had already escaped. What they saw was only the first Spirit Husbandry Sect disciple!
Xiao Hua rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "When I escaped from the Southern Color Plain, I saw the cultivator who controlled the red flying insects and the other short and fat cultivator being frozen in the icicle. That's how I knew that they were two Spirit Husbandry Sect disciples!"
"I see!" Fu Shu nodded slightly.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Xiao …" Xun Feiyan, who had been silent all this while, said in a low voice, "That … Fellow Daoist, when you passed by the two Spirit Husbandry Sect disciples, did you see a black Spirit Storage Bag?"
"Spirit Storage Bag?" Xiao Hua rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Why is Fellow Daoist Xun asking this?"
"Eh?"
After hearing Xiao Hua's words, not only did Xun Feiyan's eyes light up, even Li Xiaowen, Fu Shu, and Fan Daomao's eyes widened!
"Looks like … Fellow Daoist Xiao has seen this Spirit Storage Bag before?" Li Xiaowen said with a smile.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Li, are you also interested in this Spirit Storage Bag?" Xiao Hua asked ambiguously.
Xun Feiyan changed from his previous wooden expression and said first, "Of course, a Spirit Storage Bag … is the foundation of carrying spiritual items, just like a Spirit Storage Bag.
It's just that … a Spirit Storage Bag is even more precious than a Spirit Storage Bag. In the Country of Xi, only the Spirit Husbandry Sect and a few other sects that rear spiritual items have Spirit Storage Bags. The other sects don't have them.
I have always wanted to carry spiritual items, but … I never had the chance to get one. So, if it's convenient for Fellow Daoist Xiao … to transfer it to I? "
"This …" Xiao Hua knew the use of the Spirit Storage Bag and already understood where the red flying insects and pigeons came from. But he still faintly felt that there was something inappropriate about it!
Seeing Xiao Hua hesitate, Xun Feiyan was even more certain of Xiao Hua's thoughts and said anxiously, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I am willing to offer twenty, no, thirty supreme-grade spirit stones in exchange for this Spirit Storage Bag!"
"Fellow Daoist Xun, you want to exchange a mere thirty supreme-grade spirit stones for a Spirit Storage Bag?"
Li Xiaowen said coldly, "A Spirit Storage Bag is much more precious than a Spirit Storage Bag. I'm afraid it's not something that can be exchanged with these spirit stones, right?"
Xun Feiyan was a bit embarrassed and rubbed his hands. "I know that this Spirit Storage Bag is priceless, but … we rogue cultivators have accumulated it for many years and used … many methods, but it's only this many spirit stones. No matter how much more I have, I can't take it out!"
Xiao Hua's eyes swiveled. He was just about to refuse, but his gaze swept over and saw the eagerness in some people's eyes. His heart involuntarily shuddered, and he thought to himself, This Spirit Storage Bag … is admittedly good, but … it's also a scourge. Leaving it with me will definitely arouse the covetous eyes of others. Why don't … I exchange it for something else!
I don't have any spirit items left!
Thinking up to here, Xiao Hua cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, I's cultivation is shallow. To be honest, I haven't even heard of this Spirit Storage Bag!
If everyone is interested, I am naturally willing to take it out to exchange … "
"Aiyo, that's great!" Fu Shu clapped and said, "Does Fellow Daoist Xiao have two Spirit Storage Bags?
Why don't we bid? "
Xiao Hua didn't hide it either and nodded, saying, "I indeed picked up two Spirit Storage Bags, but they were both empty. I even thought that they were Spirit Storage Bags!
In addition, I … need cultivation techniques, spirit stones, and the like, but I don't need them for the time being! "
"Cultivation techniques?"
When everyone heard that there were two Spirit Storage Bags, they were delighted at first, but when they heard that Xiao Hua wanted cultivation techniques, they frowned again. For a moment, there was actually an awkward silence.
Li Xiaowen looked at everyone and took the initiative to say, "Sigh, Fellow Daoist Xiao, I am also an itinerant cultivator. Of course, I know what Fellow Daoist lacks.
But … my Heaven Forsaken cultivation technique can only be given to Fellow Daoist Xiao by Fellow Daoist Qing. We don't have the right to give it to you privately. Moreover, looking at the current situation, I'm afraid that we don't have the cultivation techniques that we obtained ourselves, so we also don't have the means to give it to you! "
"Sigh, that's right!" Everyone also echoed.
"How about this, I know that Fellow Daoist wants to learn the art of talisman crafting. I am not talented, but I'm willing to teach you with all my heart. What does Fellow Daoist Xiao think?" Li Xiaowen, who had never wanted to teach, put forward a very good condition.
Unfortunately, Xiao Hua simply didn't care for such a condition. Thinking for a moment, Xiao Hua said, "Fellow Daoist Li's condition really moves I. However, Fellow Daoist also wants to cultivate. How could I dare to always disturb you?
How about this, if Fellow Daoist Li has any talisman crafting ancient books that seem to have the same value as this Spirit Storage Pouch, I will also exchange it! "
"This …" Li Xiaowen was somewhat hesitant. To tell the truth, if he were to take out one or two talisman crafting techniques, it simply wouldn't have the same value as the Spirit Storage Pouch. There were also several people watching from the side, so he couldn't be stingy. Just as Li Xiaowen was hesitating, Xun Feiyan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I don't have any talisman crafting techniques here. However, I do have a book on alchemy techniques …"
"Alchemy techniques?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaowen was also astonished. "Fellow Daoist Xiao, the Spirit Storage Pouch is admittedly precious, but … it doesn't seem to be as precious as alchemy techniques, right?"
"Sigh, I was precisely going to explain to Fellow Daoist Xiao. I's alchemy techniques are also incomplete. I also planned to use a book on the basics of artifact crafting from the Spirit Storage Pouch, as well as some spirit stones to exchange with Fellow Daoist Xiao!" Xun Feiyan said.
"Artifact crafting?"
Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat, and he inwardly said, "This cultivation technique is admittedly not easy to find, but finding one on alchemy and artifact crafting is also not bad!"
Soon after, he nodded and said, "If Fellow Daoist Xun has such a book, even if it's not a cultivation technique, I would be happy to exchange it!"
"Fellow Daoist Xiao …" Fu Shu and Fan Daomao were greatly anxious. They hurriedly called out to Xiao Hua, and also stated their conditions. Their things were also not bad, but unfortunately, it was not a cultivation technique, and it was also not to Xiao Hua's liking. They could only cup their hands and say, "Fellow Daoists, I only picked up two Spirit Storage Pouches. Four Fellow Daoists will definitely be disappointed, so I can only pick up what I need to exchange it.
Please forgive me, Fellow Daomao! "Fu Shu and Fan Daomao were very disappointed, but they also knew that what Xiao Hua said was the truth. On the other hand, Li Xiaowen and Xun Feiyan were very happy. Li Xiaowen gave Xiao Hua a book on talisman crafting techniques that he obtained. In addition, like Xun Feiyan, he also gave some top-grade spirit stones as additional compensation. However, how could Xiao Hua accept too many top-grade spirit stones in front of everyone?
He only picked up two spirit stones of different attributes of the five elements.
'It's only ten top-grade spirit stones. It shouldn't arouse the evil intentions of others, right?' Xiao Hua thought without changing his expression.
On the other hand, Li Xiaowen and Xun Feiyan were overjoyed. They put away the spirit stones that they took out and patted Xiao Hua's shoulder knowingly.
After putting everything into his own storage pouch, Xiao Hua took out the two Spirit Storage Pouches and handed them to Li Xiaowen and Xun Feiyan. The two of them took them and carefully checked them before putting them into their sleeves.
"So it was just a guess about the Spirit Husbandry Sect. Since we saw the Spirit Storage Pouches, there's no doubt that the Spirit Husbandry Sect was at that time. Those who commit evil deeds are doomed to destruction. The disciples of such a famous sect actually plotted against Fellow Daoist Xiao. Naturally, they ended up being frozen into ice pillars by the ice worms!"
Xun Feiyan said with a smile. However, Xun Feiyan was slightly stunned. He looked at Xiao Hua with a strange expression and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, since … the two disciples of the Spirit Husbandry Sect were frozen, how did you escape?"
