The other two were smashed to the ground by the fireball. A hole was burned through the clothes on their chests and they spat out blood.
"You want to kill me with just the three of you?" Zhuo Bufan landed on the ground and glared at one of them. "Who sent you?"
"I won't tell you … You'll die …" Before he could finish, Zhuo Bufan grabbed the air as if she had caught a gust of wind. With a wave of her hand, a bloody wound appeared on the man's neck. He died in agony while clutching his neck.
What Zhuo Bufan disliked the most was people who were stubborn even when they were about to die. If they lost, they would die. This was the cruelty of the cultivation world.
"I'm telling you … don't …" The other person did not expect Zhuo Bufan to be so decisive at such a young age. In an instant, there was a trace of fear in his eyes. But before he could finish his words, Zhuo Bufan had already thrown a fireball at him.
"You don't have to tell me. I don't care who it was that ruined my Foundation Establishment Pill. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will burn you to ashes! "A murderous look flashed across Zhuo Bufan's eyes.
Then, Zhuo Bufan burned the corpses into ashes with the fireball. She walked to the side of the green cauldron and knocked out all the medicinal herbs inside. Although the other medicinal herbs were difficult to collect, they could be found with a little more time. Only the Silver Snow Lotus could not be bought with money.
If I keep delaying the Foundation Establishment Pill, the master behind the Ghost King will come looking for me. Even if I can protect myself, what about Ye Ziqin and my mother?
Zhuo Bufan clenched her fists and calmed herself down. The fact that they did not attack her directly meant that they had some concerns. Either they could not leave that place, or they were at a critical juncture in their cultivation. I have to seize the time to build my Foundation Establishment Pill. I've said it before, in this life, no one is allowed to hurt the people around me!
Suddenly, Zhuo Bufan noticed a black bamboo that had fallen beside the green cauldron. She picked it up and took a look. There was still some Yin Qi left on it. These three people must have used this to destroy my defensive formation.
"Looks like I can only find Long Aotian." Zhuo Bufan shook her head helplessly. She squeezed the black bamboo in her hand and it turned into powder.
Three days ago, he, Ye Ziqin, and Long Ge Yueh had returned to Jinling and visited Long Aotian. At that time, Long Aotian had wanted him to help with a mission in the army. However, he was busy making the Foundation Establishment Pill and wanted to go home to visit his mother. Zhuo Bufan had politely declined. He could only rely on Long Aotian and Gu Jianfeng to find another Silver Snow Lotus this time.
"Mr. Zhuo, are you really willing to join the Fiery Dragon Mission?" Long Aotian was overjoyed. The last time Zhuo Bufan rejected him, he hadn't been able to sleep well for two days and two nights.
He didn't expect Zhuo Bufan to visit him personally. However, Long Aotian was also a shrewd person. Zhuo Bufan must have some request for him to take the initiative to participate in this mission.
Long Ge Yueh pouted her cute cherry lips and sat beside her grandfather. She looked at Zhuo Bufan and said, "Hmph, some people are not so kind. They probably have some request. Am I right, Zhuo Bufan?"
Zhuo Bufan had been cultivating for three hundred years. Hearing the little girl's words, he couldn't help but blush. Ever since he came back from Zhongzhou, Long Ge Yueh's attitude towards him had inexplicably become colder. Sometimes, there was even a hint of sarcasm in her words. He didn't know what was going on.
"Old Master Long, I do have something that I need your help with. I need a Silver Snow Lotus. It would be best if it is more than three hundred years old. I can pay for it myself!" Zhuo Bufan stated her request.
Long Aotian was stunned for a moment. Big Brother Jun, who was sitting beside him, said, "Chief, I have heard of Silver Snow Lotus. Not to mention Silver Snow Lotus that is more than three hundred years old, even ordinary Silver Snow Lotus is very rare. It is very difficult to find one."
"Hmm." Long Aotian was silent for a moment. He looked at Zhuo Bufan and said, "I retired from the military a long time ago. The authority I have at hand is limited. I'm afraid I'll have to call Old Gu and ask him to come personally."
Gu Jianfeng happened to be patrolling the Jinling military area. After making the call, he rushed to Long Aotian's house about twenty minutes later. When he found out that Zhuo Bufan had agreed to participate in this mission, Gu Jianfeng smiled so much that the skin on his face wrinkled.
"Mr Zhuo, you really agree to participate in this intermediate special forces assessment?" Gu Jianfeng stared at Zhuo Bufan with a smile as if he had seen a gem.
Zhuo Bufan nodded indifferently. He had lived for three hundred years and had participated in many Arcane Land trials and treasure hunting. Looking at Gu Jianfeng's expression, he vaguely felt that this mission would not be easy.
Long Aotian said, "Old Gu, don't be too happy too early. Mr Zhuo needs a Silver Snow Lotus that is more than three hundred years old. You are still in the military area now, can you get it?"
"A three-hundred-year-old Silver Snow Lotus?" Gu Jianfeng was shocked. He frowned and said, "I have a lot of resources on hand and I know that there is one in the national medicine warehouse, but I'm afraid I'll have to use some connections to get it."
Zhuo Bufan's face lit up when he heard that. He now had an extraordinary desire for Foundation Establishment. "Old Master Gu, I'm willing to pay for it myself. I just need you to help me with some connections."
"Okay, then I'll promise you. The assessment for intermediate special forces will be held in ten days at an uninhabited island in the international waters. I'll send a helicopter to pick you up then." Gu Jianfeng slapped his thigh and agreed right away.
Knowing that Gu Jianfeng could get his hands on a Silver Snow Lotus, Zhuo Bufan was finally relieved. There were ten days left, enough for him to visit his mother.
On the vast lake, the willows were swaying. Long Ge Yueh walked to Zhuo Bufan's side and said, "Oh right, my grandpa told me to tell you to take care of my big brother, the Dragon Python, when you participate in the mission. He's also participating in the intermediate special forces assessment."
"Mmm, I'll help out on account of you, Miss Long." Zhuo Bufan smiled faintly.
Long Ge Yueh was stunned for a moment. She broke a willow branch and played with it. "Eh, I didn't expect you to joke. I thought you were already a hundred years old."
Zhuo Bufan smiled faintly. Ever since he came back, he had not been involved in the life-and-death battles in the cultivation world. He had also spent some time with his good friends, so he had gradually regained his youthful nature.
"The Dragon Python is your big brother?"
"He's my uncle's son. He has been training in the military and was injured two months ago. Hmph! I'll join the special forces when I get into the military academy to avenge my big brother. "
