The Ninth Young Master was alone on the road, so he should not be with the old man. But seeing them sitting together again, I guess they met on the road
Feng Jiu nodded and glanced at the team behind him: "It seems that you are quite fast."
Hearing this, He Shu smiled and said, "Luckily I met Master Nine on the way, otherwise I probably wouldn't be here yet."
"Oh?" The old man looked at Feng Jiu and smiled, "My friend, have you helped others on the road?"
"Don't I look like someone who would help others?" Fengjiu raised her eyebrows and said.
"Hahaha, that's not really the case. It's just that I didn't expect it." The old man laughed with his head held high. After all, the people in that team were not weak, but they needed this young man to rescue them. It showed that his intuition was correct and this young man was extraordinary.
He Shu asked the team to sit down on the side, and then he came and sat down next to them, saying, "It's rare to meet someone familiar here, but, Master Jiu, what are you doing here on the Immortal Staircase?"
But don't tell him that this Ninth Young Master also wants to try to climb the Immortal Ladder.
Feng Jiu smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "This old friend just asked me this question, and now you are asking me again. What do you want to do when you are here? I am naturally here to do the same thing. This question does not need to be asked."
He Shu was startled and laughed out loud: "Yes, it was my ignorance. Come, I will apologize to the Ninth Young Master." He took out the wine from the space, poured three cups, and said to the old man and Feng Jiu: "Senior, Ninth Young Master, I will drink first as a sign of respect." As he said that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, the old man also raised his wine, gestured to the two of them, took a sip and put it down.
Fengjiu herself also liked wine, so when she saw the wine poured by others, she picked it up and tasted it. Although it was a good wine, it was still inferior to her collection of wine.
While waiting for the ladder to appear, they sat together and chatted. Occasionally, some teams came here and asked about the dried-up lake. However, no one knew what was going on.
"It's strange to say, there used to be a lake here, but when we arrived here, it had already become a dry lake, and the golden lotus in the lake was gone, as well as the white python in the lake. You know, the white python ate a lot of monks who wanted to get the golden lotus."
The old man said to them, looking at the empty lake in front of them, "The golden lotus is a good thing. It is said that the lotus seeds are a treasure that can help improve strength. But, unfortunately, no one knows where the golden lotus has gone."
Feng Jiu listened, coughed uncomfortably, and said, "Maybe someone picked it, or maybe the lake has dried up a long time ago, so the golden lotus is no longer there."
"The white python in there is of divine beast level, and it is huge in size and has extraordinary combat power. But I don't know why it disappeared at this time. Otherwise, maybe we can still know what happened?" The old man said, stroking his beard and looking ahead.
However, when his eyes fell on the front, they suddenly sparkled with surprise, and he stood up, pointed his finger forward, and said excitedly: "Look! It's the Immortal Staircase! The Immortal Staircase is out!"
