The moon in the sky is getting rounder and rounder. In one day, it will be the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the past two days, Ling Xiaozi and Mei Niang became nervous. They often ran to the river to look for something, but every time they came back empty-handed.
…
Mid-Autumn Festival night has finally arrived.
As soon as it gets dark, a round moon slowly appears in the sky. The color of the moon is a little light orange, thick yellow, and slightly light red. It is really gorgeous and colorful. There are many bright stars hanging around the moon. Star.
"It's finally the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival." Ling Xiaozi murmured to himself, looking at the moon hanging in the sky.
"Brother." Mei Niang's voice came from behind.
Ling Xiaozi turned around and looked at Mei Niang: "Little sister, is something wrong?"
"Brother, today is the night of the full moon. Why is there still no movement in the river?" Mei Niang asked.
"It's probably not yet time. Just wait and see." Ling Xiaozi was also a little anxious, but he didn't show it on his face.
Mei Niang nodded and said no more.
Time passed bit by bit. It was late at night in the blink of an eye. The river was still quiet. There was no movement at all.
Ling Xiaozi couldn't wait any longer. He kept walking in place and murmured to himself: "Why is there no movement yet? Could it be that I have been deceived."
Just when Ling Xiaozi was feeling uneasy, the earth suddenly began to shake violently.
"What's going on?" Ling Xiaozi was startled. He jumped up and flew into the air.
Mei Niang, Lin San and others also flew back off the ground first.
"Bang." There was a loud noise. A thick water column suddenly burst out of the river not far away. A white thing floated on the top of the water column.
"Treasure." Ling Xiaozi's face lit up and he rushed towards the water column.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. Dozens of black shadows sprang out from all directions, all rushing towards the water column.
"Let's go help quickly." Mei Niang shouted softly. She took out a sword and flew towards Ling Xiaozi.
Lin San and others did not hesitate. They each took out their magic weapons and flew over.
Halfway through, dozens of black shadows collided with Lin San and others, and a fierce fight broke out.
Ling Xiaozi fiercely attacked the enemy while flying quickly towards the water column. Gradually, Ling Xiaozi got closer and closer to the water column. The thing at the top of the water column also became unusually clear. It turned out to be a white scroll. Ling Xiaozi light He shouted and reached out to pick up the scroll.
"How dare you." A loud roar suddenly sounded. Then there was a flash of green light, and Ling Xiaozi fell away.
A big man like an iron tower appeared at the place where Ling Xiaozi originally stayed. The big man exuded an intimidating aura. He was actually a monk in the Nascent Soul stage.
"Whoosh whoosh." Several more men of different heights flew in from the sky. They were all Nascent Soul stage monks.
"The situation has changed. Let's retreat." Seeing the Nascent Soul stage monks intervening, Mei Niang knew that it was impossible for her side to grab any more treasures. She said hello and fell directly to the ground. She picked up the seriously injured Ling Xiaozi who was unconscious. Fly away into the distance.
Lin San and others hurriedly followed.
Soon there was a shocking loud noise from the river.
…
Shennong City.
Inside a shop selling demon pills.
Lin San and several golden elixir stage immortal cultivators sat quietly on chairs. Everyone frowned, as if they had something on their mind.
"Tap tap tap..." There was a sound of footsteps. Mei Niang walked out from the back room.
"Shopkeeper Mei Niang, how is your brother?" asked a short man.
Mei Niang sighed: "My eldest brother's injury is very serious. But his life is not in danger."
"Oh. That's good." Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that Ling Xiaozi's life was not in danger.
"Fellow Taoists, I'm really sorry for today. I didn't expect that a Nascent Soul Stage monk would intervene..." Mei Niang's face was full of apologies.
"Shopkeeper Mei Niang, please don't say that. Today was just an accident. Fortunately, there were no casualties. It's really a blessing among misfortunes." The short man comforted.
Mei Niang stretched out her hand and several storage bags appeared on the counter: "Let's all share these spirit stones. Consider it my gratitude to everyone."
"Shopkeeper Mei Niang, we didn't help you. Why do we have the nerve to accept your spiritual stones?" said the short man.
Others also declined.
"Although the matter failed, Mei Niang is still very grateful to you. You must have these spiritual stones." As she spoke, Mei Niang stuffed several storage bags containing spiritual stones into everyone's hands.
Everyone declined a few more times before putting the spirit stones away.
"Shop Manager Mei Niang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." The short man saw that the matter was almost settled, and planned to leave.
"Okay. Come and sit here often when you have time." Mei Niang nodded.
The short man bowed his hands towards Mei Niang, turned around and walked out of the shop.
Others also said hello and left one after another.
In the blink of an eye, only Lin San and Mei Niang were left in the store.
Mei Niang glanced at Lin San: "Fellow Taoist, are you okay?"
Lin San put the bag of spirit stones that Mei Niang had given him just now on the counter: "Give it back to you."
Mei Niang frowned: "What do you mean? Too little."
"Don't get me wrong. I don't think it's too little. It's just...didn't we agree beforehand that after the matter is over, you will tell me the channels for purchasing demon pills?" Lin San looked directly at Mei Niang.
Mei Niang was stunned and pondered for a moment: "Okay, I'll tell you. But you have to promise me that you will never tell the second person."
"I promise." Lin San nodded hurriedly.
"Actually, the demon pills in my shop are all shipped from overseas." Mei Niang told the origin of the demon pills.
"Overseas. Where is overseas?" Lin San asked.
"Go out from Shennong City and fly thousands of miles south. You will see an endless sea. It is called the 'Sea of Monsters'. There are countless monsters living in the sea. Every year, cultivators go to hunt for monsters in the Sea of Monsters. Kill the low-level monsters and then sell the demon pill to some shops. My shop is one of them." Mei Niang didn't hide anything. She directly told the origin of the demon pill.
"Sea of Monsters." Lin San muttered in a low voice. Then he raised his head and looked at Mei Niang: "Are all the low-level monsters living in the Sea of Monsters?"
Mei Niang smiled: "How is that possible? The Sea of Monsters is divided into several parts. In the outer part, there are low-level monsters that are in the Qi-training and foundation-building stages. In the depths of the sea, there are monsters that are in the Golden Core stage and above. According to rumors, there are several monster beasts in the god transformation stage in the center of the sea."
"The stage of transformation..." Lin San was shocked.
Mei Niang nodded: "Under normal circumstances, immortal cultivators hunt some low-level monsters on the periphery of the sea. As for the depths of the sea, no immortal cultivator has ever dared to step into it."
"Shop Manager Mei Niang, thank you for telling me so much." Lin San thanked him sincerely.
