At dusk, a streak of white light flew over from the distant horizon. Not long after, the white light stopped in the air above an island filled with red trees.
The white light faded, revealing the figure of a beautiful middle-aged woman. It was Liu Li.
Liu Li's brows were tightly knitted, and her face was filled with worry.
She never would've thought that while hunting demonic beasts, not only would all of her companions die, she would also be placed under a restriction by a powerful ghost species.
She lifted her left sleeve, revealing her pure white arm. On her arm was a malevolent ghost face the size of a palm.
Liu Li took a deep breath and controlled the white flying boat to slowly descend. After putting away the white flying boat, she walked towards a city in front of her.
After entering the city, Liu Li went to a few ancient book stores and bought a few books on ghosts.
After returning to her residence, Liu Li took out a blue jade slip and immersed her divine sense into it.
Not long after, Liu Li withdrew her divine sense, and her face was completely pale.
According to the jade slip, there were many types of ghosts. Only ghosts at the level of a Ghost King could place restrictions on other cultivators. A Ghost King was equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator.
Liu Li shuddered at the thought that it was a Core Formation Stage ghost king who had placed the restriction on her.
The Ghost King only gave her three months. If she couldn't lure a few cultivators to that small island within three months, she would bleed to death from all seven orifices.
Liu Li's expression wavered for a moment before she revealed a resolute expression.
The next day, Liu Li arrived outside a small, secluded courtyard. She took out a sound transmission talisman and whispered a few words before throwing it into the courtyard.
Not long after, the courtyard door opened and a short, fat old man with a face full of pockmarks walked out.
"Fairy Liu, how come you have time to visit this Old Man today?" The short, fat old man's eyes turned and he asked curiously. His pair of turbid eyes were filled with obscenity when he looked at Liu Li.
A trace of disgust flashed through the depths of Liu Li's beautiful eyes, but her face revealed a smile as she said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's talk inside!"
"I couldn't ask for more." The short and fat old man's face lit up as he led Liu Li inside.
"Fairy Liu, this is the newly released Red Leaf Tea. Try it." The short and fat elder led Liu Li into the hall and poured a cup of tea for her as he said with a smile.
Liu Li frowned and indifferently said, "I won't be drinking tea. I came to find Fellow Daoist Han this time because I have something important to discuss with him."
"Something important? Could it be that Fairy Liu has agreed to become my dao companion? "The elderly man's eyes lit up with ecstasy as he spoke in an excited manner.
"I've discovered an ancient cultivator's cave abode. If Fellow Daoist Han can help me obtain the items within the ancient cultivator's cave abode, I'm willing to become your Dao companion," Liu Li said with a solemn expression.
"What? An ancient cultivator's cave? " When the short and fat old man heard this, his expression changed and he cried out in surprise. He pondered for a moment and asked with a strange expression, "Since you found an ancient cultivator's cave, why didn't you find Chen Daoyou? Instead, you came to find the Old Man? "
Liu Li nodded her head and slowly said, "When we were out hunting demon beasts, we encountered a flock of demon beasts. Chen Daoyou and the others were all killed. While I was avoiding the demon beasts, I accidentally discovered an ancient cultivator's cave abode on a deserted island. However, the formation's defenses were too strong and I couldn't break through it alone. I could only ask for Fellow Daoist Han's help."
"Are you sure it was an ancient cultivator's cave abode? And not a high grade cultivator's cave abode? "The short and fat old man pondered for a moment and worriedly asked.
"If it was a high grade cultivator's cave abode, do you think I would've been able to return alive?" Liu Li rolled her eyes and said in annoyance. She pondered for a moment before continuing, "That Immortal's Cave has a very strong restriction. I reckon that it's the Immortal's Cave where a Core Formation cultivator passed away. Some high level cultivators like to choose deserted islands as their resting place. If you don't want to, I'll find someone else."
"A Core Formation cultivator's cave abode?" When the short and fat old man heard this, he was somewhat tempted.
He pondered for a moment and said, "The Old Man is willing to go. However, with just the two of us, we may not be able to break through the formation! How about I invite two more friends to go with me? "
"No problem. I will also invite two more Fellow Daoists to go with me." Liu Li readily agreed.
"Invite two more Fellow Daoists? Wouldn't that mean there would be even more people to split the loot with? The four of us should be enough! If we really can't break through the formation, it won't be too late to invite others. "The short and fat old man frowned.
Liu Li lightly snorted and rudely said, "Humph, who knows whether or not you'll be tempted by the wealth and try to steal it. If Fellow Daoist Han trusts me, I'll invite two of my friends first. If we can't break through the formation, then you can invite two more Fellow Daoists."
The short and fat old man awkwardly said, "The Old Man was only speaking casually. Fellow Daoist Liu, you can invite whoever you want. However, let's make it clear that each of us will invite two Fellow Daoists. Otherwise, it won't be easy to split the loot. "
"Of course. I still have to invite other Fellow Daoists, so I won't stay any longer. We'll meet at the city gate in three days." Liu Li nodded and left.
"Take care, Fairy Liu." The short and fat old man stood up to send her off. He gazed at Liu Li's graceful figure as she left with a fiery gaze.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Li appeared in a secluded room with a man and a woman sitting across from her.
The man had a fierce face and appeared to be around thirty years old. The woman was dressed like a married woman and wore a long yellow dress. Both of them were Qi Condensation cultivators and their auras were slightly stronger than Liu Li's.
"Fellow Daoists Wang, Fellow Daoist Zhao, I've discovered an ancient cultivator's abode. However, I am unable to break through the restrictions on my own. I would like to invite the two of you to come with me. Once we obtain the treasures, we'll split them equally. What do you think?" Liu Li asked solemnly.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, if I remember correctly, didn't you go out with Chen Daoyou and the others to hunt Demon Beasts? Why didn't you find Chen Daoyou? "The woman in the yellow dress frowned and asked curiously.
"Ai, don't mention it. Not long after we went out to sea, we encountered a flock of Demon Beasts. Chen Daoyou and the others were all killed." Liu Li sighed and spoke with a hint of sadness. Then, she changed her tone and said, "While I was hiding from the Demon Beasts, I discovered an ancient cultivator's cave residence on a deserted island. It is very likely to be a Core Formation cultivator's cave residence. Perhaps there will be Foundation Establishment Pills. I've already invited three Fellow Daoists to go together. What do you think?"
"Are those three reliable?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
"If they weren't, I wouldn't have dared to invite them." Liu Li smiled.
"Alright, we're willing to go. When do we depart?" The middle-aged man nodded and asked.
"We'll meet at the city gate in three days."
"Alright, we'll be there in three days." The middle-aged man agreed and left with the woman in the yellow dress.
Liu Li looked at the two's departing figures and a trace of guilt appeared on her face.
The middle-aged man and his wife had worked together with Liu Li to hunt Demon Beasts and had a good relationship. It was because of this that Liu Li invited the middle-aged man and his wife. The middle-aged man and his wife didn't suspect anything.
