"Oh?"
Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat when he heard that there were other demonic slips. He stopped and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ruo, please don't lie to me!"
"Of course not, of course not!"
When Xi Wuming heard that Xiao Hua was not Ruo Taohong, he smiled and said, "Didn't you see my demonic tool last time in Jingbo City?
This time it's much more than last time, and the cost is even lower! "
"Eh?" Ruo Taohong was stunned and pointed at Xiao Hua, "Xi Wuming!
Is Fellow Daoist Xiao the one who bought your demonic tool last time in Jingbo City? "
"Hehe, that's right, that's right." Xi Wuming rubbed his hands and winked at Xiao Hua, as if trying to please him.
However, Xiao Hua sneered. He knew that Xi Wuming was not trying to get close to him because of his high cultivation level. There must be other reasons.
Sure enough, before Xiao Hua could think further, Ruo Taohong revealed the truth.
"That's not right!"
Ruo Taohong realized and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the one who bought your demonic tool was a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator?
But you said that Xiao Hua was only a Second Stage Qi Refining Stage cultivator, he … how could he have dozens of top-grade spirit stones? "
"This …" Xi Wuming's expression changed and he smiled, "If Fellow Daoist Xiao was only a Second Stage Qi Refining Stage cultivator, how could he be a Foundation Establishment Middle … Late Stage Qi Refining Stage cultivator?"
Then, he winked at Xiao Hua again!
Xiao Hua naturally wouldn't lie for him, instead he asked curiously, "Old Devil Xi, you first, what is going on inside?"
"Hehe, it's like this!" Xi Wuming rubbed his hands and explained the whole story in embarrassment.
It was actually very simple. Back then, Xi Wuming and another Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, Mo Shan, were both interested in Ruo Taohong of Thousand Red Mountain. The three of them had been entangled for more than ten or twenty years. In the end, the three of them could not take it anymore and came up with an idea.
Ruo Taohong pointed out two places for Xi Wuming and Mo Shan to go to these two places. Whoever could trade one of their demonic tools and return to Thousand Red Mountain first, Ruo Taohong would agree to dual cultivate with that person.
Of course, during this process, everyone swore a blood oath that they would definitely follow the instructions. Otherwise, they would be devoured by the Magic Artifact and die!
In the end, Xi Wuming won and Mo Shan lost. From then on, Xi Wuming could confidently come to Thousand Red Mountain.
However, although Ruo Taohong agreed to perform Dual Cultivation with Xi Wuming, they never held a Dual Cultivation Ceremony. Instead, they requested that the ceremony be held only after Xi Wuming reached the Jindan stage. Xi Wuming was already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, so he was not too far away from the Jindan stage. Since Mo Shan would not disturb them, it did not matter whether there was a Dual Cultivation Ceremony or not.
But who would have thought that more than ten years ago, Ruo Taohong made a trip to Sky Patrol City and returned to her youthfulness. She was the charming Peach Blossom Lady of the past. This time, not only was Xi Wuming moved, even Mo Shan was drooling over her. Hence, the number of people who came for her increased.
Today, Xi Wuming was talking to Ruo Taohong about the Dual Cultivation Ceremony. When he was rejected by Ruo Taohong, he saw a message from Xiao Hua. Ruo Taohong saw the message and immediately left Xi Wuming and went into the cave to dress up. Xi Wuming was naturally enraged. He rushed out of the cave and wanted to kill Xiao Hua!
Hearing Xi Wuming's words, Xiao Hua sneered in his heart. "No wonder Qi Refining disciples are so afraid of Foundation Establishment cultivators and always treat them with respect!
If my cultivation was not high enough, I'm afraid that just because of this misunderstanding, my life would have been taken! "
"Hehe ~" Xi Wuming saw Xiao Hua's unfriendly expression and quickly bowed. "Fellow Daoist Xiao, this old man was wrong!
But since you and I are old friends, I hope you can forgive this old man! "
Xiao Hua understood that Xi Wuming was afraid that he would expose his actions. Of course, Xi Wuming's Devil Spear was indeed good and had saved his life several times. Speaking of which, Xiao Hua also had to thank Xi Wuming. Hence, he nodded and said, "In that case, this Xiao agrees. Our grievances are over!"
"Hehe, thank you, thank you!" Xi Wuming was overjoyed.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao …" Ruo Taohong asked unhappily, "Then what happened in Jingbo City that year …"
Xiao Hua laughed and before Ruo Taohong could finish, he interrupted her. "Fellow Daoist Ruo, it's been so many years!
No matter what the truth is, Fellow Daoist has already agreed to what you should have agreed to and rejected what you should have rejected!
Is the truth still important? "
"That's right, that's right!"
Xi Wuming laughed. "You've already made a blood oath. As soon as this old man condensed his core, you'll immediately hold the Dual Cultivation Ceremony with this old man!"
At this point, Xi Wuming solemnly said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, when the time comes, this old man and my wife will definitely send you an invitation. Fellow Daoist, you must honor us!"
"Haha …" Xiao Hua laughed, but didn't express any opinion.
Ruo Taohong knew Xi Wuming's character and knew that something unpleasant would happen. She glared at Xi Wuming and said angrily, "This old woman hasn't done Dual Cultivation with you yet!
Where did this wife come from? "
She then smiled at Xiao Hua and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please. It's rare for you to come to Thousand Red Mountain. Please come to my cave for a chat!"
"En, Fellow Daoist, please!" Xiao Hua nodded with a smile.
Ruo Taohong led the way while Xiao Hua followed behind. Xi Wuming followed behind with a smile on his face. After flying for a while, he saw a mountain ridge where his magic weapon was shot down. He smiled embarrassedly and flew over to retrieve his magic weapon.
Ruo Taohong and Xiao Hua ignored this guy and flew towards a cave in Thousand Red Mountain.
Ruo Taohong's cave was in the middle of a field of flowers. The entrance of the cave was blocked by hundreds and thousands of short, crooked peach trees. The branches of each peach tree were covered with bright red peach blossoms. The peach blossoms pressed down on the branches until they were bent.
Dozens of fist-sized unknown spirit sparrows flew among the peach blossoms, adding a lot of vitality to the cave!
In front of the abode, there were several children, both male and female. Some held flower baskets in their hands while others held feather fans. They wore bright Daoist robes as they stood there in an orderly manner. When they saw Xiao Hua and Ruo Taohong land, they all had respectful expressions as they greeted them in a clear and melodious voice. It gave off the feeling of an immortal abode.
Looking around, Xiao Hua was puzzled and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ruo, you … you're the only cultivator in Thousand Red Mountain?
Didn't you say it was a small sect? "
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xiao, my Thousand Red Mountain naturally can't be compared to your Imperial Thunder Sect!"
Ruo Taohong invited Xiao Hua into the cave and explained, "However, my Thousand Red Mountain also has thousands of disciples!"
"Oh?
Where are they?
This Xiao doesn't seem to have seen your Thousand Red Mountain's sect protection formation! "Xiao Hua said curiously.
"Hehe, this cave is just one of my side residences. It's not within the Thousand Red Mountain's formation!"
Ruo Taohong said with a smile, "Although I also have a cave residence within the Thousand Red Mountain's formation, I'm just a consecrator of the Thousand Red Mountain. My usual residence is here and not within the Thousand Red Mountain!"
"Oh?
There's such a consecrator? "Xiao Hua was puzzled.
"Of course!" Ruo Taohong said with a smile, "This kind of thing is naturally not common in a large sect like your Imperial Thunder Sect!
However, it's common in a small sect like the Thousand Red Mountain! "
At this point, a trace of loneliness appeared on Ruo Taohong's face and she explained, "Actually, I was originally a disciple of the Splendid Sect and had nothing to do with the Thousand Red Mountain!
However, because I made a big mistake, I was driven out of the sect by the Splendid Sect. Originally, they wanted to abolish my cultivation, but I made a certain contribution to the Splendid Sect, so I was lucky enough to keep my cultivation! "
"Oh?" Xiao Hua raised his eyebrows and was stunned in his heart.
"Without the Splendid Sect, I'm considered a rogue cultivator!"
Ruo Taohong said with a bitter smile, "But I'm a female cultivator. If I were to rely on my identity as a rogue cultivator, I wouldn't be able to cultivate normally!
I had no choice but to find a small sect like the Thousand Red Mountain and become their consecrator and their disciple!
However, I don't usually need to go to the sect. Only when the Thousand Red Mountain has some errands, I'll go back to the sect to deal with them!
Usually, all the spirit stones, medicinal pills, and even cultivation methods are consecrated by the Thousand Red Mountain! "
"Oh ~ So it's like this!" Xiao Hua understood and asked again, "Then, your natal spirit tablet is also in the Thousand Red Mountain?"
"Hehe, of course!"
Ruo Taohong said with a smile, "Unless I cultivate to the Gold Core Realm or my husband is a Gold Core Realm, the Thousand Red Mountain will return my natal spirit tablet to me!"
"Hehe, I understand!" Xiao Hua also knew why Ruo Taohong had to learn the Nameless Core Condensation Technique before dual cultivating with him.
"Fellow Daoist, please sit ~" After entering the cave, Ruo Taohong invited Xiao Hua to take a seat and said with a smile, "Actually, being a consecrator in a small sect like the Thousand Red Mountain is also very good.
Usually, there won't be any big matters. If I need anything, I'll have the servant bring it to the Thousand Red Mountain's sect master. The sect master will satisfy me according to the Thousand Red Mountain's ability. "
Xiao Hua sat down and asked with a smile, "If someone comes to the Thousand Red Mountain to provoke or attack, Fellow Daoist Ruo will have to represent the Thousand Red Mountain to fight, right?"
"Of course!
Not only that, but I will also have to appear when the Thousand Red Mountain fights are involved! "
Ruo Taohong sat down and answered, "However, the sect master of the Thousand Red Mountain isn't very ambitious. He only wants to defend himself, so I don't have to work too hard!"
Immediately, Ruo Taohong ordered the servant to put down spirit fruits and spirit wine. Not long after, Xi Wuming also returned. Xiao Hua politely ate a few spirit fruits but didn't drink the spirit wine.
After casually chatting for a while, Ruo Taohong asked a few more questions about the Great Dao Sword War. Xiao Hua said, "Fellow Daoist Ruo, I didn't come here to ask you to fulfill your promise, but since you're here …"
"Hehe, it's fine …" Ruo Taohong smiled and said, "That day, I took your Rejuvenation Pill. Those demonic tools and demonic slips can't compare to the value of the Rejuvenation Pill. If you didn't come, I was thinking of going to the Imperial Thunder Sect to give them the demonic tools!
Now that you're here, I won't have to make an extra trip! "
As she spoke, Ruo Taohong took out a storage pouch from her waist and handed it to Xiao Hua. "I saw Fellow Daoist Xiao's Message Talisman and went to the inner cave to prepare these demonic tools!
Who would've thought that I would be misunderstood by others! "
Seeing Ruo Taohong's glare, Xi Wuming shrunk his neck. He really did misunderstand her.
