Mo Wen couldn't be bothered with Xu Qianqian, so he followed the old man in black into the cave. Seeing this, Xu Qianqian did not dare to stay outside alone, so she quickly followed in.
The space inside the cave was not big, about 20 to 30 square meters. There were messy rocks and weeds everywhere.
The walls of the mountain were covered with tree vines. There seemed to be a wind tunnel inside. Strange wind sounds came from it. It was quite scary in the middle of the night.
"The Blood Lingzhi Mushroom is over there."
The old man in black did not dare to disobey Mo Wen. He immediately pointed at a stalk of medicinal herb on the mountain wall.
That medicinal ingredient looked like a lingzhi, but it was somewhat different. Its entire body was scarlet red, and it emitted a sparkling radiance. In the darkness, it was rather conspicuous.
Even without the man in black's reminder, Mo Wen had already noticed the stalk of Blood Mushroom growing on the mountain wall.
His pupils shrank as he strode in front of the Blood Ganoderma and carefully observed it.
As expected, a mature stalk of Blood Mushroom was a medium grade spiritual medicine. For the current Mo Wen, it was something that could only be encountered by chance.
He observed his surroundings. As expected, there was not a single weed around the Blood Mushroom. It was impossible for any other plants to grow where the Blood Mushroom grew. All the Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi and life essence would be completely devoured by the Blood Mushroom.
"Before picking the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, it must be watered with the blood of a virgin's ventricle. Otherwise, it will wither immediately after being picked."
The black-robed old man said as he looked at the Blood Mushroom.
If the Blood Mushroom was so easy to pluck, he would have plucked it a long time ago. Why would he need to trick Xu Qianqian to this place? Now, he had almost lost his life because he had lured Mo Wen out.
As a member of the Medicine Manor, he naturally had a good understanding of the habits of certain medicinal herbs, especially the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom. He specially went to the Medicine Manor's library to look for it and discovered that the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom could not be harvested using normal methods. Otherwise, there would be no harvest.
That was why he did not dare to touch the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom. He was afraid that his ten years of bitter waiting would go to waste.
As the black-robed old man spoke, he looked at Xu Qianqian with a strange look in his eyes.
He had lured Xu Qianqian to the top of the mountain with the intention of killing her and extracting her ventricular blood to irrigate the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom. Now, if that youth was prepared to take the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom away, he would not be able to do so without this girl.
The black-clothed old man's eerie gaze caused Xu Qianqian's body to tremble slightly. She took a step back and looked at the black-clothed old man with vigilance.
Only then did she remember. Before he harvested the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, he had to take her life.
What kind of damned medicinal herb was that? It needed someone else's life to pick it up.
"Virgin ventricular blood irrigation?"
Upon hearing that, Mo Wen's lips curled upwards. He looked at Xu Qianqian playfully and walked one round around her. He seemed to be considering something.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Qianqian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Mo Wen nervously. Her body trembled uncontrollably.
If she had known earlier, she would have stayed at the top of the mountain and taken the opportunity to escape. However, she had forgotten about the fact that he wanted to take her life in order to pluck the medicinal herbs …
"For the sake of a sacred herb, don't you think you should offer up something?"
Mo Wen curled his lips and said with a smile.
"Don't … I … I'm … not a virgin … anymore …"
Xu Qianqian bit her lip. The more she spoke, the softer her voice became.
"Not a virgin anymore?" Mo Wen's eyes widened. He made a fuss over nothing.
"Yes … No … No …" Xu Qianqian nodded desperately and shook her head vigorously.
"Then I'll check to see if it's true."
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was about to step forward to check.
Upon hearing that, Xu Qianqian screamed and retreated to the foot of the mountain wall in a panic. She looked at Mo Wen anxiously and picked up a stone to confront him.
"Don't … Don't come over …"
"Don't believe her. She's still a virgin."
The black-clothed old man said gloatingly. As a disciple of the Medicine Manor. As a member of the Medicine Manor, he could naturally tell if Xu Qianqian was a virgin at a glance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tricked her to the top of the mountain.
Today, if Xu Qianqian hadn't brought Mo Wen along, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Now, Xu Qianqian was in the same situation as him. Naturally, he wouldn't hit her when she was down.
"He said that you are …"
Mo Wen crossed his arms and smiled playfully.
Plucking the Blood Mushroom naturally didn't require the blood of a virgin to be irrigated. That was an evil method. In other words, some ordinary people who didn't know how to pluck the Blood Mushroom would only make people laugh. That would only make people laugh their heads off. Through some special methods, they could pluck it. Why go through so much trouble?
So, he was only scaring Xu Qianqian on purpose. Who asked her to scold him earlier?
"Sob sob …"
Xu Qianqian looked at the two grown men staring at her. Finally, she couldn't take the pressure anymore. She hugged a big stone and cried. Her tears were like a pearl necklace with a broken string.
The corner of Mo Wen's mouth twitched. She was crying just like that? That was too useless. Women were indeed made of water.
He walked slowly to Xu Qianqian and lifted her chin with one hand. He said evilly, "Tsk tsk, a pear blossom in the rain. Such a beautiful woman. I really can't bear to kill you."
"Sir, do you need me to do it for you? I can guarantee that it will be done cleanly."
Upon hearing that, the old man in black immediately bowed his head and bowed like a servant.
"Go to the side."
Mo Wen looked askance at the old man in black and couldn't be bothered with him. He minded his own business and walked to the front of the Blood Mushroom. After studying it for a while, he took out a small knife from his backpack and fiddled with it. Then, he tore the Blood Mushroom off the mountain wall.
When the old man in black saw Mo Wen plucking the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom so carelessly, his eyes widened. His body stiffened and a look of heartache flashed in his eyes. That was a Blood Lingzhi Mushroom! He had actually plucked it off just like that. Originally, he still had hopes for the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom. However, he was immediately disheartened.
It was over. The Blood Lingzhi Mushroom had been completely destroyed in the hands of that youth.
Xu Qianqian, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief. After plucking the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, it meant that Mo Wen wouldn't kill her to water the stupid medicinal herb.
Mo Wen dusted off the dust on his hands and threw the Blood Mushroom into his backpack.
The old man in black opened his eyes wide and his mouth agape. He stared at Mo Wen in a daze.
Just now, that Blood Mushroom, why didn't it immediately turn into ashes? How was that possible?
Did something go wrong? Or perhaps that medicinal herb wasn't the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom? That was impossible. He had guarded it for more than ten years, so it was impossible for it to go wrong.
"That Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, how did you …"
The old man in black pointed at Mo Wen and couldn't say anything for a while.
"Who told you that to pluck the Blood Mushroom, you must water it with the blood of a virgin? What a crooked way. "
Mo Wen smiled disdainfully. He reckoned that the Medicine Manor was just a half-baked thing. It was not worthy of his attention.
Now, his horizons were no longer the same as before. In the past, his goal was to become a pinnacle ancient martial arts practitioner that surpassed the Golden Elixir realm. But now, his goal was to become an Immortal Cultivator. Although that step was very difficult, he would definitely try his best.
"Mo Wen, you …"
Xu Qianqian pointed at Mo Wen and couldn't say anything for a while. She was so angry that her face was red and the two little bunnies on her chest were heaving up and down. She was very angry and unhappy.
At this moment, how could she not understand that Mo Wen was obviously teasing her on purpose just now?
This b * stard … b * stard … rotten egg … why did he have to be so bad …
Xu Qianqian's tears of grievance flowed out again. Just now, she was really scared. He only knew how to bully people.
"You what you! You don't know how to be grateful at all. I took a huge risk. If that old man was telling the truth, a stalk of sacred medicine would have been destroyed. This is a priceless treasure. "
Mo Wen walked in front of Xu Qianqian and patted her little head. With an expression that said he had sacrificed a lot, he said, "I treated you so well. I would rather take the risk of a stalk of sacred medicine being destroyed than to kill you. I treated money like dirt and placed friendship first. Is there anyone else in this world who is as good as me? Shouldn't you be feeling grateful? "
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes speechlessly. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe such words. To think that this guy could be so thick-skinned to say it.
Xu Qianqian snorted softly and turned her head to the side. In her heart, she scolded him for being thick-skinned and shameless. She would be a fool if she believed Mo Wen's words.
"Sir, now that you have obtained the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, are you going to let me go?"
The black-clothed old man walked forward and bowed continuously.
"Let you go?"
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and looked like he was pondering.
"Don't let him go. This old man is sinister and cunning. He is not a good person. He will definitely seek revenge on you in the future."
Xu Qianqian glared at the old man in black fiercely. This old man used the excuse of treating her father's illness to trick her into coming to Changbai Mountain. His motive was actually to kill her to obtain her blood to nourish the medicine. Not only was her hope of treating her father gone, but she was also in a life-threatening situation. He was simply a despicable, cunning, and cunning old man.
"Don't let him go?"
Mo Wen scratched his head and looked hesitant.
"I won't seek revenge. Please believe me. Sir is so powerful. Even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to seek revenge on you."
The old man in black cursed Xu Qianqian a thousand times in his heart. A woman's heart was the most vicious. Indeed, women shouldn't be offended. They were very vengeful.
"Only a ghost would believe you."
Xu Qianqian glared at the old man in black coldly.
"What should I do if I don't let him go?"
Mo Wen spread his hands and looked at Xu Qianqian. He looked like he didn't know what to do.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian was a little distressed. Could it be that the old man in black would be locked in the cave forever?
"How about, let him …"
Xu Qianqian pointed outside the cave and pointed downwards to help Mo Wen come up with a plan.
Naturally, she meant to throw the old man in black off the cliff. Previously, Mo Wen had demonstrated it once, so she remembered it.
"What if he doesn't fall to his death?" Mo Wen scratched his head in distress.
"It's so high. He will definitely fall to his death."
The old man in black's mouth twitched. He actually hoped that Mo Wen would throw him off the cliff. That way, he would at least have a chance of survival. If Mo Wen directly attacked and killed him, he would have no hope at all.
So now, he really hoped that Mo Wen would adopt Xu Qianqian's idea and throw him off the cliff …
