The beautiful woman just stood there and did not move forward, as if she wanted to hide herself in the darkness. There was the sun in the tower during the day, but there was no huge moon like the one in the Desolate Moon Continent at night. However, the stars were very large and numerous.
With the eyesight of a cultivator, he could see the other person's face clearly even from dozens of feet away, not to mention a distance of several feet. The only difference was that he could not distinguish the colors well. However, Li Yan was absent-minded and did not deliberately stare at the other person.
"Thank you for saving my life!"
Finally someone broke the silence. Li Yan had always been very frugal with words when interacting with others, and today he had something to hide, so until the woman stood up, he did not say a word except for responding.
Originally, he wanted to ask the woman for a reward for saving his life, but he was too nervous to say it. Instead, the beautiful woman spoke again.
The beautiful woman's personality was also the reason why every word she said sounded a little cold. But when Li Yan raised his eyelids slightly, he saw that she bit her red lips and there was an unnatural look on her face. Although he couldn't tell whether there was a blush or not, Li Yan could guess it.
"Oh, fellow Daoist, you're welcome. I was just being chased by the green shadow released by the rhinoceros-horned green python. I didn't do anything to save you." Li Yanru felt guilty about doing something wrong, so he suppressed his heartbeat and tried to make his voice sound calmer.
"No matter what, I have to thank you, fellow Daoist. In the end... I... I still have three thousand spirit stones. I hope you will accept them. This is all I can give you." The beautiful woman said in a low voice, and then a flash of light appeared in the dark night, and a storage bag flew towards Li Yan.
Neither party mentioned what had just happened, nor did they mention the detoxification. They seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened. However, Li Yan knew that although the spring poison could make people confused, it did not cause them to lose their memories. It was just that their minds were not under their control.
Afterwards, the poisoned person will remember everything that happened before. This is often the most painful thing for women who have been poisoned by spring poison. It will accompany them throughout their lives and will be indelible.
When the woman released the flashing spiritual light from her storage bag, Li Yan saw the woman's face clearly. It was a face that was still blushing. Li Yan felt a little surprised and dazed for a moment. The woman seemed to notice Li Yan's gaze and lowered her head in panic. Her black hair was already messy, and this action seemed to be an attempt to avoid him.
"Oh, no need. Since you are fine, I will take my leave now." Li Yan didn't know why, but he had no intention of accepting the other party's spirit stone. The burning sensation on his ear was still there. Li Yan felt uneasy and a little uncomfortable, and he planned to leave immediately.
With a flick of his robe sleeve, the storage bag that had just arrived in front of him flew back. Then Li Yan planned to put away the "Great Dragon Elephant Formation" and leave.
"Wait a minute, Taoist friend. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and would like to set up a longevity tablet at home. I wonder if you can tell me your name."
The beautiful woman reached out to take the storage bag. Seeing that Li Yan was about to leave, she quickly took a step forward. Then she hesitated, stopped, and continued to hide in the darkness, as if she felt safe in this way, but she hurriedly spoke.
Li Yan was about to take out the small purple flag, but when he saw the woman's appearance, he stopped his hand on the storage bag and shook his head. He was very young and didn't want anyone to set up a longevity tablet for him.
"There's no need to do that. I've said it before, I'm not trying to save you on purpose. I have other things to do..." Before Li Yan could finish his words, the woman bit her lip and interrupted him.
"But I hope you will know that you saved my mother and my son. I don't have the ability to repay you, but I still hope that my son will remember your kindness. Even if you tell me your last name, that will be fine."
The beautiful woman said seriously, her almond-shaped eyes clear as water in the darkness.
"Oh, your son?" Li Yan raised his eyes and took a closer look at the woman's belly. Both of them were cultivators. The beautiful woman immediately sensed Li Yan's gaze and blushed. "No... No, my son is seriously ill at home. I came here to search for a life-saving herb."
Li Yan suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and secretly cursed himself for being stupid. Although the woman was plump, her flat belly meant that even if she was pregnant, it was not the right time to give birth so it was impossible to tell the gender of the baby.
"Oh... Oh, excuse me. It seems that you have got what you needed. I would like to congratulate you, fellow Taoist." Li Yan cupped his hands and answered the woman's question, but he still did not want to reveal his real name.
The beautiful woman quickly turned aside and returned the greeting. "Thank you, Mr. Jiang. I have got what I need. I was chased by the rhinoceros-horn green python before because the herb I needed was too close to his cave, which alarmed this... this monster..."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and began to stutter, with a blush that involuntarily appeared on her face.
"Could it be that the herb you need is some companion herb of the Rhinoceros Horn Green Python? But as far as I know, the Rhinoceros Horn Green Python does not have any special favorite spiritual herbs." Li Yan couldn't help but feel curious. For a powerful monster like the Rhinoceros Horn Green Python, if he knew that it also had special companion herbs, it would be a kind of gain in his training. Curious, Li Yan ignored the woman's shyness.
"Mr. Jiang, you can call me Mei Hongyu. The herb you need this time is not the companion plant of the rhinoceros horn green python, but the companion herb of the 'Sky Mang Butterfly' - 'Mantianqin'.
This herb is actually a kind of medicine. Not long after my son was born, he met with a disaster and his soul was hurt by a bad person. Hong Yu spent several years to gather the other main ingredients, but was missing the soul-guiding medicine. He traveled to many places but couldn't find it.
Later, I heard from others that the Beiming Demon-Suppressing Tower was a gathering place for evil spirits, and it was also the place where the 'Mang Tian Qin' liked to grow the most. In addition, someone had seen the 'Tian Mang Butterfly' on the second floor, so the young woman came here to look for opportunities.
As for the appearance of the Rhino Horned Green Python, it was because the nest of the 'Sky Mang Butterfly' I found this time was only a hundred miles away from the Rhino Horned Green Python's cave. After I killed a group of 'Sky Mang Butterflies' and had just picked 'Sky Mang Qin', that... that damned monster appeared, and took advantage of my unpreparedness and used that despicable... despicable method to attack me..."
Mei Hongyu's face became shy when she said this. She almost lost her virginity this time. How could she not feel ashamed every time she thought about it.
Li Yan just asked out of curiosity. Seeing that the topic has changed again, he couldn't help but coughed and said, "Ahem, that's true. A hundred miles is not too far. Fairy Mei must have been seen by his spiritual sense. This is the first time I have heard of Mang Tian Qin. So, this medicine has a certain effect on the soul. This kind of spiritual plant is really rare. I would like to congratulate Fairy Mei."
Mei Hongyu twisted her gown with her fair and plump little hands.
"'Mantianqin' has the effect of attracting souls, but it is useless for humans over the age of ten. In fact, there are several other herbs that can be used as medicine for dogs, but they are even rarer. Even if they really appear, I can't afford them. Soul-related herbs are not easy to buy even for Jindan cultivators, so Hong Yu can only settle for the next best thing."
Of course, what she said was to tell Li Yan that although "Man Tian Qin" was precious, it only had some effect on the tender souls of children under ten years old. She was afraid that Li Yan would become interested in this medicine, and she would be in a difficult situation.
"Well, in that case, Jiang really has to say goodbye. Fairy Mei must be in a hurry to leave right now, so..."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Li Yan's original idea of looking for "Mang Tian Qin" was immediately dispelled. He really had no intention of snatching this herb from Mei Hongyu. He couldn't do such a despicable thing for a life-saving item. Moreover, he didn't want to know how Mei Hongyu's son was injured, and didn't want to delay any further.
"Hongyu will set up an immortal tablet for Mr. Jiang when she returns, so that my son will remember his kindness throughout his life." Having said this, Mei Hongyu turned sideways again. She was worried about her son and indeed was thinking about leaving here and getting out of the tower as soon as possible.
Li Yan nodded, stretched out his hand and slapped the storage bag, and a small purple flag floated out. After putting away the formation, Mei Hongyu could go out. Of course, the two of them went their separate ways.
Mei Hongyu looked at Li Yan who was about to retract the formation restriction, as if she remembered something, thought for a while, and then spoke again.
"Hong Yu is about to leave the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower. Brother Jiang should still be undergoing more training. If so, the rhinoceros-horned green python may come to seek revenge. Brother Jiang has great magical powers, so he will not be afraid of him. However, this is the territory of the rhinoceros-horned green python. He may bring other monsters with him, or find other monsters of the same level to besiege you. That monster may have a special sensitivity to certain smells, so please be careful.
Now I think about it, I was very careful when I took the 'Mang Tian Qin', because when I found the 'Tian Mang Die', I already knew that I was only a hundred miles away from the Rhino Horn Green Python's cave, so I was somewhat confident in hiding my own breath. It would be difficult for the Fake Dan Realm to find me, not to mention that I was prepared, and the other party could not scan every place with their spiritual sense all the time. Even a strong Rhino Horn Green Python would not be able to withstand it. In the end, Hong Yu eliminated the 'Tian Mang Die' in a very short time, and the fluctuations generated were very small.
But when I just went to take the 'Mang Tian Qin', the Rhino-Horned Green Python appeared there. Even though I accidentally revealed my tracks when I was trying to destroy the 'Tian Mang Die', and the time it took to take the 'Mang Tian Qin' was less than five breaths, the Rhino-Horned Green Python quietly appeared behind me within five breaths. I would never believe this situation.
It seemed to me that the rhinoceros-horn green python had been here for a while and had been hiding. At that time, all my attention was focused on the spiritual plant 'Mantianqin', so I was able to be successfully attacked by him. Otherwise, hum... Even if I was not his opponent, he would not be able to get away with it.
So there are two possibilities for the rhinoceros-horned green python to appear there. One is that it happened to pass by there, and when I passed by, it hid in advance. However, Hong Yu still didn't believe this situation. Before I took action, I carefully searched the area within a radius of dozens of miles, but I didn't continue to expand my spiritual sense because I was afraid of alarming this monster.
There is another possibility. Now that I think about it, it may be that in order to kill all the 'Sky Mang Butterflies' in the nest in one fell swoop, I used the bitter-free powder that I had prepared long ago. This medicine has a fatal temptation to the 'Sky Mang Butterflies' and can attract them all out, and then I can choose to set a trap to kill them in one fell swoop.
Now that Hong Yu thinks about it, he is still full of doubts. Could it be that the rhinoceros-horn green python is also tempted by this medicine, so he..."
"Stop, Fairy Mei, what did you just say? Is it bitter-free powder?"
