"Is this Qixia lotus famous? Is there any special purpose?" Han Li's unhurried voice came from behind the monks.

Hearing this voice, monk surnamed Jian and the others froze in their hearts, their minds cleared up a bit, and they looked back at Han Li unnaturally.

These people have all seen the power of the gold-eating bug. As long as the few of them teamed up, they might not be the opponents of these strange insects. Now that they found such a precious thing, they subconsciously felt a little uneasy.

Even Jin Qing, who strongly invited Han Li to come with him, showed a hint of hesitation.

With Han Li's scheming, he could probably tell what was going on in these people's minds by looking at their expressions, and a hint of self-mockery flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly concealed this strange look in his heart, and continued to ask with an expression of ignorance: "The name Qixialian is very strange! I have read a lot of classics! Why don't I have any impression?"

All the cultivators on the opposite side looked at each other, and after Hu Yue gave a dry cough, she smiled and explained to Han Li: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Han has always practiced hard and seldom touches things other than cultivation. The name Qixialian, even if Fellow Daoist has searched all the spiritual herb classics, but I’m afraid they can’t find it. In the legends passed down by word of mouth, Qixia lotus is a frequent occurrence. It is said that after taking it, mortals can bring the dead back to life. It can greatly increase your cultivation base, and even go up to a level. This is the legendary fairy family's item!"

Finish these words. Even though Hu Yue was wary of Han Li, she still couldn't hide the excitement on her face.

"Really? So amazing?" Han Li narrowed his eyes, as if he said in disbelief.

"I don't know about that. Because if I hadn't seen this Qixialian with my own eyes today, I wouldn't believe that there is such a thing in the world! However, there must be monks who will spend a lot of spirit stones to buy it, which is true. Yes." Hu Yue said with a chuckle.

"That's it!" Han Li nodded lightly, and stopped looking at the Qixialian. Instead, he lowered his head to observe the extremely white skeleton, showing a rather interested expression.

Seeing Han Li's indifference, he didn't look like he wanted to take it all by himself. The others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist Jian, go and pick the Qixia lotus! After the auction, I will divide the spirit stones equally. Fairy Shi, please check to see if there is any formation restriction near the pool." With a wink, he took the opportunity to say.

After the two listened. He glanced at Han Li thoughtfully, and agreed.

After feeling that Han Li's strength was too strong, these people could not help but unite together, and felt a little xenophobic towards Han Li.

After Jin Qing heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say a word.

At this time, Han Li squatted beside the bones, examining something carefully. Looks as usual. This made Hu Yue, who had been watching him carefully, feel a little relieved.

"There is no restriction near the pool, so you can pick it with confidence." Shi Die said affirmatively after checking with several magic tools.

The monk surnamed Jian heard this. Immediately overjoyed a few steps walked over.

"Be careful. I heard that Qixialian can't be touched with utensils and the like, and can only be picked off by hand. Otherwise, it will wither immediately!" Hu Yue's expression moved, as if remembering something, and hurriedly opened his mouth to remind.

The monk surnamed Jian waved his hands without looking back, indicating that he already knew. At this moment, his thoughts were all on the bud of the Qixia lotus.

Standing by the pool made of crystal clear jade. The monk surnamed Jian bowed slightly, and stretched out two fingers cautiously towards the three-color flower bud.

Shi Die and others followed his picking action. He couldn't help but hold his breath, watching his every move without blinking.

"Hey!" He made a surprised voice.

"What's the matter?" Hu Yue and Shi Die asked at the same time, their faces full of worry. As for whether they were worried about the pickers or the things they picked, it was hard to say.

"It's a bit weird. Why is this flower root so strong? It seems difficult to pull it up." The monk surnamed Jian withdrew his finger, moved it a little, and said with some doubts.

"If you can't pull it out, just pinch it off!" Hu Yue suggested aloud after turning her eyes slightly.

"Just pinch it off? This will greatly reduce the value of Qixialian!" Shi Die shook her head with a disapproving expression on her face.

"Wait a minute, I'll cast the Great Strength Technique, and I'll try it again." The monk surnamed Jian took out a yellow talisman, patted it on his body, and then with all five fingers, he firmly grasped the place three inches below the bud, You have to pull it out hard.

"Wait!" Han Li, who was studying the bones, suddenly stopped him without raising his head.

Hu Yue and the others thumped in their hearts, feeling a little startled and uncertain.

The monk surnamed Jian also felt chills in his heart, but when he looked at the dazzling flower buds that were close at hand, his heart skipped a beat, and he exerted force with his palm as if he had never heard of it. But the Qixialian was still as if cast iron.

Now the monk surnamed Jian was even more impatient, he clenched his fingers almost without thinking, instead of pulling, he pinched.

The flower bud finally reacted, trembling a few times, suddenly shrunk into the pool, and disappeared without a trace.

"Plop". The monk surnamed Jian who hadn't been released was pulled into the pool by the huge force from the flower stem, and the milky white water splashed in all directions.

The stone fairy was closer, and was immediately hit on the face by several drops of water.

Immediately, a scream came!

"Toxic, this water is poisonous!" the female cultivator covered her face with her hands, and shouted in shock and anger. Then she hurriedly reached out her hand to find a red medicine bottle in the storage bag, and poured out a handful of fiery red medicine, and poured it into her small mouth in panic.

At the moment when he was taking the elixir, Hu Yue and Jin Qing couldn't help but gasped when they saw a rotten face covered with jaundice.

Even when Han Li saw it, his expression changed slightly.

This stone fairy became so cheap just a few drops, what about the monk surnamed Jian who fell into the pool

Thinking of this, Jin Qing and the others looked at the jade pond filled with milky white water.

Since the person fell into the pool, there has been no news. He neither heard his screams nor saw him struggling for help. They are a little hairy!

At this time, Shi Die finally stopped moaning, and tore off a corner of her dress to cover her beautiful head tightly, and then looked at the pool with a sigh of relief, her eyes were full of resentment.

"Gululu" a string of bubbles floated out from the depths of the pool. Then, a rotting corpse floated out of the water.

Everyone's face turned blue. Judging from the remaining clothing on the corpse, it was the corpse of the monk surnamed Jian.

It's just that at this time, he is riddled with wounds, his body is dripping with bones, his eyes are empty, and his eyeballs have already disappeared, making people feel cold when looking at him!

"How did it become like this? How could the thousand-year-old stone milk be so poisonous?" Hu Yue murmured in disbelief.

"Thousand-year stone milk is not poisonous, but if someone poisons the pool separately, that's another matter." Han Li stood up, exhaled lightly and said slowly.

"Fellow Daoist Han! You yelled to stop just now, do you already know that the pool is poisonous?" Shi Die asked Han Li with a hoarse voice.

"Whether it is poisonous or not, I don't know. But this Qixia lotus is not so easy to pick, I can tell a little bit. Look at the right hand of this white bone!" Han Li tapped the bone under his feet lightly with the tip of his toe. Said in a lively voice.

After hearing this, Hu Yue and the others couldn't help but look carefully, but they showed strange expressions.

The whole right hand bone of the white bone is not only black, but also the index finger is incomplete and a small part is missing, the fracture is uneven, as if it was bitten off by something.

Han Li didn't look at the puzzled expressions of the others, nor did he explain anything, but stared at the pool with a cold light in his eyes.

In the milky white water, the "Seven Clouds Lotus" surfaced again at some point, still exuding a brilliant luster, but Hu Yue and the others looked at it like a poisonous scorpion.

Without saying a word, Han Li opened his five fingers, and five small fireballs floated on the fingertips. Then he flicked his fingers slightly, and the fireballs formed a line and shot towards the Qixia lotus.

Jin Qing and the others were shocked, but the previous incident did not stop Han Li from making a move.

Qixialian swayed from side to side in the firelight a few times, then suddenly retracted into the water. Then a black shadow flashed, and something flew out of the water, shooting at Han Li like an arrow.
