Chapter 115: The Joy of Spending Money
The System also reminded Song Jiulai faintly, “These two are playing dirty.”
“I can see that. The Tier 3 Demonic Beast, the Nine Nether Eating Spider, is troublesome to deal with. If its illusion ability could so easily control a Cultivator, it would have dominated among Tier 3 Demonic Beasts long ago. It’s not that strong!”
“This bitch!”
Song Jiulai gritted her teeth.
She knew she would encounter danger upon entering the Secret Realm, but she hadn’t expected the first people she met to be so insidious.
On the surface, they acted all friendly, pretending to be controlled and attack her, right?
But this Lu Rufeng also struck ruthlessly, his Snake Shadow Flying Wheel dancing in a dense, impenetrable fashion.
Simultaneously, several vines shot up from the ground, directly binding Song Jiulai.
Song Jiulai unseasonably recalled a saying.
“When fighting enemies, I’m meek and submissive.”
“When fighting teammates, I strike with all my might.”
Why didn’t she use these earlier?
At this moment, Song Jiulai’s anger flared, and she unleashed four consecutive Palm Thunders, almost with killing intent. Lu Rufeng’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately summoned vines to block the attacks for him, also forcing him to slow down his pursuit.
Meanwhile, the Nine Nether Eating Spider on the other side had caught its breath and quickly returned.
Seeing the battle here, it didn’t hesitate and unleashed several more venom attacks.
“Big brother, why aren’t you hiding to catch your breath? Are you a battle king or something!”
Song Jiulai dodged swiftly. Lu Rufeng, at this point, finally knew to dodge.
Lu Rufeng seemed to have regained his senses, looking at Song Jiulai with a shocked expression: “Fellow Daoist, I apologize. I was just hit by this fiend’s illusion technique and mistook you for an old enemy. Are you injured?”
Nine Nether Eating Spider: ?
Who is the fiend here?
Song Jiulai rolled her eyes internally. The Nine Nether Eating Spider didn’t directly fall out with these two for now.
She even managed a smile: “I’m fine, just almost got killed by you!”
Lu Rufeng: “…”
It was still “almost,” wasn’t it?
Heh.
Both sides harbored their own schemes, having already seen the ill intentions in each other’s eyes.
At this point, if they killed the Nine Nether Eating Spider, a fight would break out immediately.
However, everyone tacitly agreed to deal with the Nine Nether Eating Spider first.
Two against one and focusing on dealing with two opponents was better than having to deal with a third spider.
The Nine Nether Eating Spider was already at its limit. Seeing that it couldn’t possibly win against the combined efforts of three, it finally began to consider retreating.
However, it was too late to escape now.
In the end, the Nine Nether Eating Spider let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.
The moment its massive corpse touched the ground, Song Jiulai let out a heavy breath.
Suddenly, she took a step back, her figure rapidly disappearing from her original spot.
Meanwhile, the other two exchanged a glance, took out a Qi Replenishing Pill from their Mustard Seed Bags, and consumed it to restore their depleted vital energy.
Seeing Song Jiulai leave directly, Lu Rufeng and Yi Tianhe exchanged a suspicious look: “She doesn’t want anything?”
“Should we chase her?”
“Who cares, let’s get the goods first.”
Lu Rufeng was still quite confident in the two of them.
Even if Song Jiulai suddenly returned, she wouldn’t be able to defeat both of them.
After all, they had only dealt with a Tier 3 Demonic Beast and hadn’t used any of their trump cards.
This thought of theirs only lasted for two minutes.
The two had just finished picking the Black Gold Glazed Grass and putting it into their Mustard Seed Bags, preparing to deal with the Nine Nether Eating Spider’s corpse.
Song Jiulai reappeared, full of vigor.
And with a smile on her face, looking even more energetic than during the battle.
Furthermore, her cultivation seemed even more indistinct to the two of them.
“Fellow Daoist, I just went to relieve myself. Come, let’s start dividing the spoils!”
Song Jiulai’s nerves had been taut, and the Spiritual Energy in this Secret Realm was incredibly abundant. After the fierce battle, Song Jiulai, who was already on the verge of a breakthrough, surged forward in one go.
She had realized she was about to break through just now and immediately found a place to stabilize for two minutes.
Her retreat was sudden, and these two didn’t react, so they didn’t pursue.
Actually, she could have stayed, but it was better to be stable and avoid any mishaps during a breakthrough.
Now officially entering the Late Qi Condensation Stage, and successfully stabilizing her Sect Master identity without shame, Song Jiulai was overjoyed: “Hand over the Black Gold Glazed Grass.”
Lu Rufeng: “…”
Yi Tianhe: “…”
What the hell? How did she come back looking like she’d absorbed vital energy?
Lu Rufeng thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed: “You were in the Mid Qi Condensation Stage just now?”
Song Jiulai nodded without hiding anything: “Yes, how did you know? I’m in the Late Qi Condensation Stage now, thanks to you.”
“…”
Mid Qi Condensation Stage?
How did she get in?
Lu Rufeng was dumbfounded.
No matter how ridiculous a Sect was, they wouldn’t send a disciple in the Mid Qi Condensation Stage, right?
But judging by Song Jiulai’s combat power just now, she was evenly matched with him in the Late Qi Condensation Stage.
Lu Rufeng and Yi Tianhe exchanged a look, suddenly having an ominous premonition.
At this moment, should they give up and leave, or proceed as originally planned?
Lu Rufeng’s throat bobbed. He was still somewhat unwilling to give up the Black Gold Glazed Grass. The Tier 3 Demonic Beast was just a pretext; this Tier 4 Spirit Herb was more important. How could he let Song Jiulai have it?
Song Jiulai saw the hesitation in their eyes and was not surprised. “You two aren’t planning on giving it to me, are you?”
“Fellow Daoist, you jest.” Lu Rufeng said, extending his hand. The Black Gold Glazed Grass slowly flew over.
Song Jiulai reached out her hand. As the Black Gold Glazed Grass approached, a giant vine suddenly shot out from beneath Song Jiulai’s feet!
Song Jiulai was already prepared. At the same moment, she directly used Palm Thunder to strike at Lu Rufeng and Yi Tianhe.
Compared to before, her Palm Thunder was noticeably thicker and faster.
Lu Rufeng was almost struck directly.
This indicated that her cultivation had indeed improved.
Damn it, I wonder which Sect sent in such a monstrous disciple.
Someone in the Mid Qi Condensation Stage could fight a Tier 3 Demonic Beast like this!
The vine wrapped around Song Jiulai’s ankle at the same moment. Song Jiulai directly unleashed a Fireball, burning it off. After breaking free, she pounced on Lu Rufeng and Yi Tianhe, striking them.
The Palm Thunder cultivation technique was truly overbearing among peers, leaving the target with no room to maneuver, only able to dodge frantically.
The flying wheels used by Yi Tianhe and Lu Rufeng could only make Song Jiulai dodge briefly, but she would strike again immediately after dodging, forcing them to dodge madly as well.
Normally, a cultivator would reach their limit after striking a dozen times, and the faster they strike, the more Spiritual Energy they consume, leading to rapid depletion. Lu Rufeng and Yi Tianhe could endure that.
However, after Song Jiulai unleashed fifteen consecutive strikes, the area became like a high-voltage electric explosion site.
Estimating that her Spiritual Energy should be depleted, she directly took out a Tier 4 Qi Replenishing Pill from her bag.
Swallowing it in one gulp, she was full of vigor again.
She could even loudly curse: “Return my Black Gold Glazed Grass, or you’ll face dire consequences!”
At this moment, Yi Tianhe and Lu Rufeng felt their minds starting to collapse.
For the sake of a single Tier 4 Spirit Herb, they had to expend so many Pills. Was it worth it?
Song Jiulai: It’s worth it, of course, it’s worth it.
The System assigned a Task to Shuitan.
“Go to the Pharmacy and buy some Tier 4 Pills for the Sect Master.”
Shuitan: “Understood.”
The benefits of having Sect spies at this moment became apparent.
In a large city like Liuxian City, let alone Tier 4 Pills, you could even buy Tier 5 Pills without anyone batting an eye.
