The white rope should be a good magic treasure. It tied Xiao Lingyu tightly, making it so that Xiao Lingyu couldn't move at all.
Xiao Lingyu was a bit nervous. The rope made him feel a bit suffocated and painful.
"Hmm? This kid's cultivation level isn't high. He should have just reached Foundation Establishment, but how could he go so deep into the ancient forest? " A middle-aged cultivator wearing a wrinkled dark blue daoist robe narrowed his eyes and looked very surprised.
"This kid shouldn't have some powerful magic treasure to protect himself, right?" A fat cultivator with a big head and big ears had a sneaky smile on his face. The two long whiskers on the mole on his cheek were also fluttering with his smile like two poisonous snakes.
"Brother Yunfei, this brat shouldn't be the one who saved your life. With your injuries at the time, he shouldn't have been able to save you with his Foundation Establishment cultivation." A cultivator wearing a cloak said in an indifferent tone. His face couldn't be seen clearly.
The young man who was saved by Xiao Lingyu slowly walked in front of Xiao Lingyu. He first walked around Xiao Lingyu and then smelled Xiao Lingyu. Finally, he said with certainty, "He saved me. Brother Ba, please accept the immortal binding rope."
The fat cultivator walked up and patted the young man's shoulder, "Brother Yunfei, you shouldn't be mistaken. This kid just reached Foundation Establishment and we're all Spirit Severing experts. How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator treat our injuries?"
"That's right, that's right. Brother Yunfei, don't be mistaken."
"Be careful."
"Brother Yunfei, you haven't been to the depths of the ancient forest before. You don't know the dangers and strangeness here …"
Yun Fei faintly smiled. Although his face was pale, when his smile bloomed, there was still a bit of elegance. He said, "Could it be that you all think that I would casually call someone my savior?"
"This …"
Everyone was speechless, but they still had some doubt on their faces.
The smile on Yunfei's face disappeared and he said with a serious tone, "Brother Ba, please use your technique to take away the immortal binding rope."
It wasn't easy for cultivators to cultivate and it was easy for them to die halfway. Because everyone only had one life, most cultivators were very respectful and concerned about their saviors.
People often say, "A drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring!" Then what about the favor of saving his life? Only a life for a life!
The fat cultivator with the surname Ba embarrassedly laughed and quickly formed hand seals. He then shouted, "Withdraw!"
Suddenly, a ray of light flew out from the fat cultivator's finger and landed on Xiao Lingyu's body....
The white rope that was tightly binding Xiao Lingyu immediately loosed and flew toward the fat cultivator's face......
What made Xiao Lingyu feel incomparably mystical was that the white rope turned into two white whiskers on the fat cultivator's face. There was also a black mole at the base of the whiskers.
There was a mole on each of his cheeks, and there were two whiskers on each mole. However, they were black and white in color, appearing symmetrical and strange. Even Xiao Lingyu could guess that the two black whiskers were probably extremely powerful magic treasures.
The fat cultivator cupped his meaty hands into fists and said to Xiao Lingyu in an apologetic manner, "Hehe, Little Brother, I'm sorry. I only tied you up for safety's sake … You also know that this place is very dangerous, so we have to be careful. Forgive us, forgive us."
"Hehe, it's fine, it's fine. It's fine as long as the matter is clear." Xiao Lingyu was also a quick-witted person. Although he was angry and could see the contempt in the fat cultivator's eyes and the disdain the others had for him, he pretended that he was ignorant and replied with a smile.
"What method did this Little Brother use to save Brother Yunfei?" The middle-aged cultivator in Daoist robes shook his fist at Xiao Lingyu and asked in a seemingly curious and harmless manner.
"I used some medicinal herbs picked from the mountains," Xiao Lingyu vaguely replied, but his expression was very calm.
Although he was indeed young, he had experienced a lot on Earth and had seen a lot of the ways of the world and social interactions. He was not a rash person. Moreover, in the five years that he had spent with Jiang Lanyue, he had a certain understanding of the cultivation world.
"What kind of medicinal herb could have such a miraculous effect?" the fat cultivator asked curiously, his whiskers seeming to dance even more happily.
"You all seem to have too many questions. This Brother is my savior. I haven't even had time to say a few words of thanks before you all start asking questions one after another," the young man called Yunfei said with a frown, his expression a bit unhappy.
"It's just a small matter. Don't worry about it. It's not like I saved your life," Xiao Lingyu said very generously.
Yunfei admired a young cultivator who had just completed the Foundation Establishment Stage for being so magnanimous, but this made the others very suspicious.
"As for the medicinal herb, in fact, with Seniors' knowledge, you all should know that it is the Mixed Yuan Muscle Bone Grass. I was fortunate enough to collect two before. Later, I used one when I was injured and the other one was used on Senior Yunfei," Xiao Lingyu said very politely.
A mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator naturally had to address a Severed Soul Stage cultivator as Senior. After all, there were several large cultivation realms between them. It was like heaven and earth.
"Mixed Yuan Muscle Bone Grass?"
After hearing Xiao Lingyu's explanation, the Severed Soul Stage cultivators, including Yunfei, frowned slightly. They had never heard of this medicinal herb before.
"So Little Brother was fortunate enough to obtain such a rare medicinal herb. No wonder you were able to save Brother Yunfei." The fat cultivator's mind raced for a moment before he suddenly realized something. It was as if he really did know about the Mixed Yuan Muscle Bone Grass.
The cultivators in Daoist robes and cloaked cultivators also voiced their agreement.
Yunfei didn't say that he knew about the Mixed Yuan Muscle Bone Grass. Instead, he said very sincerely, "No wonder I smelled a familiar scent from you. So it was because we've all used this medicinal herb before."
Xiao Lingyu laughed in his heart because he had made up the Mixed Yuan Muscle Bone Grass. He laughed at the hypocrisy of these cultivators and also laughed at his own lie. It seemed that he had explained another problem for himself.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu's huge snake finally returned. However, Xiao Lingyu used his spiritual connection to order it to stay away from him.
The huge snake was still in the form of a one-foot long snake. Moreover, it had concealed its qi and was looking at Xiao Lingyu from not far away.
After that, Yunfei bowed and thanked Xiao Lingyu again. He refused to let Xiao Lingyu call him Senior no matter what. Perhaps it was because he had saved his life, Yunfei directly asked Xiao Lingyu to call him Brother and introduced himself.
Yunfei's name was Ge Yunfei. He was an elite disciple of the Void Inquiry Stage immortal sect on the Flying Feather Continent. His master was the sect master of the Void Inquiry Stage, Yu Lingzi.
The Void Inquiry Stage was also one of the strongest peak immortal sects on the Flying Feather Continent. Their sect master, Yu Lingzi, was an expert whose cultivation base had already reached the late Body Integration Stage.
The fat cultivator, the middle-aged cultivator who was wearing a Daoist robe and the cultivator who was wearing a cloak were all rogue cultivators who didn't belong to any sect. The reason they entered the depths of this desolate ancient forest was to handle an extremely troublesome yet very tempting matter. However, they felt that the three of them weren't strong enough to handle it. Therefore, they asked Ge Yunfei for help.
Ge Yunfei didn't say much about the specific situation. However, Xiao Lingyu could also guess that the three rogue cultivators must have made some kind of deal with Ge Yunfei. Moreover, Ge Yunfei must have helped the three rogue cultivators a lot. That was why Ge Yunfei could put on airs in front of them and why they were always smiling at Ge Yunfei.
"Alright. I still have some other matters to attend to. I'll take my leave now. You guys can continue with your important matters." After chatting with these people for a while, Xiao Lingyu felt that even though he and Ge Yunfei got along well, he didn't have much in common with the other three. Therefore, he prepared to leave.
Before this, Jiang Lanyue had told him that the life and cultivation of rogue cultivators were extremely difficult. They didn't have the protection of a sect or sect to provide them with cultivation resources. Their path of cultivation was even more bumpy and difficult. This made them less confident and superior compared to the disciples of the big sects, but more scheming and cautious. One must be careful when interacting with this kind of cultivators.
"Brother Xiao, your cultivation is still shallow. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to walk out of this desolate ancient forest alone. Moreover, there is a very powerful and ferocious snake wreaking havoc in this area. Why don't you come with us?" Ge Yunfei sincerely said.
"You guys have important matters to attend to. I'm just a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, so I won't be of much help. Instead, I'll only cause trouble for you guys. If you encounter any danger, I'll have to trouble you guys to protect me. I won't disturb you guys. Since I was able to come in, I'll definitely be able to walk out safely." Xiao Lingyu waved his hand and said.
Although going with Ge Yunfei and the others would increase his safety on the surface, Xiao Lingyu felt that with the protection of the snake, he would be able to walk out safely. After all, didn't these people still lose to the snake even when they joined forces?
"It's no trouble at all. Right now, we're not far from our destination. Brother Xiao should come with us so that we can take care of each other on the way back." The fat man surnamed Ba first transmitted a message to the other two rogue cultivators and then said very politely.
"That's right. If you go back alone and something happens to you on the way back, it will be difficult for Brother Yunfei to repay us for saving your life." The cultivator wearing a Daoist robe also tried to persuade Xiao Lingyu to stay.
"Could it be that Brother Xiao feels uneasy going with us? Or do you have other important matters to attend to? "The cloaked cultivator straightforwardly asked.
"Uh … I don't have any important matters to attend to. Right now, I just want to leave this forest. Since you guys have invited me, I'll respectfully accept. In the future, I'll have to trouble you guys to take care of me." Xiao Lingyu paused for a moment before agreeing. If he didn't agree, these people would suspect him.
Although the snake could defeat these people, it couldn't quickly kill them while protecting itself. If they had any ideas about Xiao Lingyu, it would be very difficult for the snake to protect him.
