A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Page 90

Sima Wan: "Why, Junior Brother Han, you won't pick it up? This is 1000 spirit stones. A collateral descendant like you would probably have to save up for a long time."

Xiao Huohuo: Damn it, I can’t stand it anymore, Lao Han, beat him up!

Han Buli: (half annoyed) I can't beat him. I haven't completed my mission yet. KP, can I use the vine whip technique to roll up these spirit stones?

KP: Your proficiency in the whip technique is full, right? Then show me some techniques.

Han Buli: Skill, 29/55, success.

KP: Then, facing Sima Wan's deliberate provocation, Han Buli pondered for a moment, raised his hands, and several green spiritual whips appeared out of thin air. With his superb skills, he successfully rolled up all the spiritual stones on the ground into his bag without missing a single one.

Xiao Huohuo: So this is the correct way to use the rattan whip technique.

Jeanne: It's you! Hermit Purple!

KP: Sima Wan seemed a little depressed when she saw Han Buli resolve the problem so easily and failed to experience the feeling of a superior humiliating a subordinate.

Han Buli: Haha, thank you, Senior Brother Sima. I will definitely make good use of this spiritual stone.

Sima Wan: ...Hmph, that's good.

Xiao Huohuo: I feel comfortable.

Han Buli: KP, we have been talking for so long, but that outer sect female disciple hasn’t come back yet?

KP: Almost there.

Han Buli: Then I will sit down and continue arguing with Sima Wan and scolding Sima Brother, and we will talk after she comes back.

Romeo: Hmm? Old Han, are you going to take power?

Han Buli: Stop joking and get down to business.

KP: "Wuyu, then you sat down and argued for a while, cursing Sima Wu for a while. About three minutes later, the door was pushed open, and the outer sect female disciple who had gone out to wash returned.

Female disciple: Master Wan, I'm back... Eh? Who is this?

KP: The female disciple was taken aback, not expecting anyone else to be in the room. Sima Wan, already feeling a bit frustrated, grew irritated at the interruption of her conversation.

Sima Wan: Didn’t I tell you to knock on the door before entering?

Female disciple: (shrinking) I... I thought there was no one in the room.

Sima Wan: No one in the room? Am I a human being? Am I a human being?!

Joan of Arc: You are sick.

Female disciple: Master Wan, Master Wan, calm down! Xiaolian knows she was wrong!

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, got the NPC name.

Romeo: Hehe, it’s Sister Xiaolian. I’m your long-lost Onii-chan.

Jeanne: Pervert, take a bite. (Disgusted)

Han Buli: Okay, now! I'm going to take advantage of Sima Wan's attention being drawn to Amelia Su, secretly take out the elixir Sima gave me, then pretend to be a peacemaker and pour wine for Sima Wan to calm him down, and then use my deft hands to drop the elixir into the wine pot!

KP: Sure, that’s a great move. I’ll give you a 10% bonus for this wave.

Han Buli: Great move, 25/80, success.

KP: So, taking advantage of the chaos in the field, Han Buli successfully threw the pill into Sima Wan's wine pot with his magic hands.

Han Buli: Okay, mission accomplished! Goodbye, buddy!

KP: Seeing that Sima Wan's temper was about to explode under the catalysis of alcohol, Han Buli hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, fleeing the room like a flash.

KP: Behind me, the sound of whips gradually rose.

Han Buli: These people are so scary. I will probably never forget this dangerous experience.

Joan of Arc: Many years later, when facing the pursuit of the Sima family, Han Buli will recall the distant afternoon when Sima Ge asked him to drug Sima Wan.

Xiao Huohuo: Grass.

Chapter 100: Soul Wandering (Day 44)

KP: Having finally completed the first task assigned by Sima Wu, Han Buli fled back to his room, breathing in the air deeply, feeling as if he had survived a calamity.

Han Buli: These people are so scary. This is only the first mission and it’s already full of dangers. I don’t even dare to think about the next two!

Xiao Huohuo: The bigger the waves, the bigger the fish. Stay calm, Old Han. This time, it's up to you to make a fortune!

Han Buli: After this is over, I must at least make Brother Sima pay 5000 spirit stones for the work! By the way, Lao Xiao, are you back to the camp now?

Xiao Huohuo: I won’t go there. What does KP say?

KP: According to the time point, Xiao Huohuo has just entered the ruins not long ago. If he wants to return to the camp, he will have to wait until at least dusk.

Xiao Huohuo: That’s okay, come on, Lao Han.

Han Buli: (half annoyed) Forget it, let me first see what Sima brother has prepared for me in the second brocade bag.

KP: Then, Han Buli, who had just recovered from the shock, took out the second white brocade bag from his Qiankun bag. After opening it, he found a red pill and a piece of letter paper inside.

Xiao Huohuo: Are you going to drug me again?

Han Buli: Let me see what’s written on the paper first.

KP: Han Buli picked up the letter and found two lines of tiny calligraphy on it.

This pill is called the Soul Dream Wandering Pill. It comes in two pills, a small pill and a small pill, to be taken separately. When the person taking the small pill falls asleep, the person taking the small pill can transfer their soul out of their body and enter the body of the person taking the small pill to carry out their activities.

[Since you've read this letter, it means you've successfully gotten Sima Wan to take the Zi Dan. Your next step is to take the red mother Dan. Then, wait until midnight tonight to activate the spell, controlling Sima Wan's body to leave the camp and reach the location marked on the letter. Try not to interact with anyone else.]

KP: Below the tiny calligraphy, there was a simple map sketched with a few strokes. A mark was marked in the lower left corner of the map. Han Buli immediately took out his own map and compared the location of the mark. He found that it was in a valley marked in yellow, indicating that resources were scarce and exploration was not recommended.

Han Buli: I understand. It is very likely that Sima Wan will be dead.

Joan of Arc: Damn it, meow.

Xiao Huohuo: Brother Sima played well this time, but I don't know how to deal with the subsequent finishing work. Sima Wan was a direct descendant of the Sima family after all, it's a bit unreasonable for her to die in the secret realm in such an unclear manner.

Romeo: KP mentioned before that there is a beast tide in the secret realm.

Xiao Huohuo: Don’t say that, please don’t say that.

KP: There is still a lot of time left before midnight. Han Buli, will you stay in your room or go out for a walk?

Han Buli: I'll stay in my room and wait for Lao Xiao to come back. (Behaved)

KP: Yes.

Han Buli: By the way, KP, can I see what is in the bottle of medicine Sima Wan gave me?

KP: Please pass the appraisal.

Han Buli: Appraisal, 45/20, failed.

KP: So you open the bottle and find some white powder inside. It doesn't smell like anything special, and you don't dare to try it.

Han Buli: Forget it, it’s probably some cheap stuff like aphrodisiac, just throw it into the Qiankun bag and let it gather dust.

KP: Okay, if there's nothing else, let's fast forward.

……

KP: Late in the evening, Xiao Huohuo and his companions who had gone out to explore returned to the camp. Although their actions were somewhat low-key, the giant broken sword with a unique shape behind Xiao Huohuo still attracted a lot of people's attention.

Inner Disciple A: Hey, Brother Fang, where did you guys go to make some money? It looks like you made quite a bit.

Inner Disciple B: Junior Sister Liuyue, why didn’t you ask me to join you on your treasure hunt?

Inner Disciple C: Junior Brother Hansong got a top-grade magic weapon in the sect mission before, right? What good stuff did you get this time?

Inner disciple Ding: You are so good, Li Shi with thick eyebrows and big eyes. How come you sneak faster than a mouse?

Li Shi: Bullshit! I didn’t sneak away!

KP: Facing everyone's "eager" probing and greetings, Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Fang Yuan: Don't get excited, everyone. Although we did go out to explore, we didn't gain anything. We only killed a few low-level monsters.

Inner Disciple B: What is this Junior Brother Xiao carrying...

Fang Yuan: Haha, that's just an ordinary piece of iron that Junior Brother Xiao picked up on the road to play with out of childishness. It's not some magical artifact, right, Junior Brother Xiao?

Xiao Huohuo: That’s right.

KP: After Fang Yuan's explanation, Xiao Huohuo suddenly felt several spiritual senses sweeping over him. Then, disappointment appeared on the faces of those inner disciples.

Inner Disciple A: He is really an ordinary piece of iron. Junior Brother Xiao is really in a good mood.

Inner Disciple B: Alas, this secret realm of Qi Refining has been explored for several years. If there are any great treasures, most of them will be taken away by our predecessors.

Inner Disciple C: That's right, let's go back and report this to the sect. Why won't we be allowed to enter the secret realm of foundation building? Life and death are determined by fate, as is wealth and honor. If you don't give us the opportunity, we will just be slowly dying.

Inner disciple Ding: Forget it, let’s go back to the house to refine our energy. At least the spiritual energy here is still abundant.

KP: Although they understood that Fang Yuan might just be perfunctory, they couldn't get any more information at the moment. After sighing a few times, everyone dispersed. Then, Fang Yuan patted Xiao Huohuo's shoulder and said softly.

Fang Yuan: A man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure. Although we are from the same sect, there are also some people with bad character among us. Junior Brother Xiao, remember to be careful these two days and try not to go out alone. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me at any time.

Li Shi: And me!

Xiao Hansong: Haha, what’s the point of looking for a big fool like you? I see you can’t even take care of yourself.

Li Shi: What are you talking about, you skinny monkey!

Liu Yue: Okay, okay, just say less, be careful, there may be ears on the other side of the wall.

Xiao Huohuo: Haha, then the mountains and rivers will remain green and the water will flow forever. Brothers and sisters, we will see you later!

Joan of Arc: Just because of a camp, my stinky little brother caused us to be separated from each other. (Pinching nose)

KP: After bidding farewell to Fang Yuan and the others, Xiao Huohuo was able to move freely.

Han Buli: Lao Xiao, here I come!

Xiao Huohuo: Old Han, you are here!

Romeo: Come!

Joan of Arc: Ugh...

KP: Whose room are you going to?

Han Buli: Come to my place. Brother Sima may be staring at me with his X-ray vision, so I'd better not walk around casually.

Xiao Huohuo: Walking slowly.

KP: Then, Xiao Huohuo came to Han Buli's room and told Han Buli about his experience of exploring the ruins today, which made Han Buli's blood boil.

Han Buli: Oh, I really envy you, Brother Xiao, for being able to explore outside. I won’t mention my own problems, which are so annoying. (Wink, blink, blink, blink, blink)

Xiao Huohuo: Alas, life is not as it seems to be. Brother Han, don't worry, there will always be a way out. (Blink, blink, blink, blink)

Joan of Arc: You two are using this secret code. (Laughing)

KP: I think I know what you're trying to do, but I suggest you don't do it.

Han Buli: KP, what are you thinking about? Do we look like the kind of people who would find bugs?

Xiao Huohuo: That’s right, I just wanted to share my experience of this expedition with Lao Han.

KP: ...I can't say. (Pinching nose)

Han Buli: Okay, Lao Xiao, it’s getting late, you should go back first. By the way, you still have the sound transmission talisman with you, right?

Xiao Huohuo: I brought it with me.

Han Buli: Yes, I’ll chat with you when I’m free tonight.

Xiao Huohuo: OK OK.

KP:?

Joan of Arc: You guys seem to be playing something new.
