"I knew you wouldn't encounter any danger; good people naturally have Heaven's protection." Huo Lingling said, puzzled. "But this time it's really strange; we've been in here so long and haven't come across a single Demon Beast. I don't know what's going on."
"Junior Sister Ling'er, we have something we must attend to and must leave first. Here, take this bottle of elixir; practice well." Song Yan Ning took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to Huo Lingling.
"Senior Sister Song, where are you going? Can we meet again in the future?" Huo Lingling didn't want to part so soon with Song Yan Ning and the rest.
"When it's meant to be, we will meet again! Open this bottle of elixir when you get back, and it's best done when you're alone." Song Yan Ning instructed, waving at Huo Lingling, then she and Qin Yushen's party walked towards the outside of the forest.
Huo Lingling watched as Song Yan Ning and her company disappeared from view before reluctantly withdrawing her gaze. She looked down at the Jade Bottle in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then put the Jade Bottle into her Storage Ring. She didn't know what kind of elixir Senior Sister Song had given her, but since Senior Sister Song told her to open it when she got back, then she would do just that.
Murong Xi bit her teeth in annoyance. She hadn't expected Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen to actually return alive. She had planned to take advantage of Huo Lingling's sorrow and scheme against her, but now her plan was completely ruined.
The group searched the forest for a long time but still didn't find a single Demon Beast.
"Should we go deeper into the forest to check it out?" someone suggested.
"I don't want to go looking for death. If you want to go, you go."
"Exactly, I'm not going either." Although they hadn't encountered any Demon Beasts so far, Heavenly Barrier Forest is not an ordinary place. According to legend, there are tens of millions of Demon Beasts here. If they were not careful and walked into a Demon Beast encirclement, it would be too late to regret.
"Master, I want to go back first." Huo Lingling's mood was pretty good now; she wasn't as focused on exterminating those Demon Beasts like before. Plus, they hadn't encountered any Demon Beasts so far, so continuing the search seemed pointless.
"We'll go back with you," Ming Yue also intended to. They had searched for so long without seeing a single Demon Beast, it all felt rather eerie. Often, the more abnormal the situation, the more dangerous it could be. If a real beast tide happened, it wouldn't be too late for her to come back out then.
Upon returning to the inn, Huo Lingling took out the Jade Bottle that Song Yan Ning had given her. She was very curious about what elixir was inside. Although Senior Sister Song had told her to open it when she was alone, her master was no stranger.
Ming Yue glanced at the Jade Bottle in Huo Lingling's hand, her lips curling into a sneer. In her eyes, Song Yan Ning was just a Loose Cultivator; how good could her elixir possibly be?
Huo Lingling opened the Jade Bottle and poured the elixir into her palm. "Master, what is this elixir? Why have I never seen it before?" Just smelling the fragrance of the elixir made her feel refreshed.
When Ming Yue caught a whiff of the fragrance, she was momentarily stunned. Impossible!
Hearing Huo Lingling's question, she quickly turned around, hurried to Huo Lingling's side, and grabbed the Jade Bottle from her hand. "It really is a Golden Benefit Pill!" The Golden Benefit Pill was an elixir that could directly elevate a Cultivator's level, something she had only heard of in legends, never expecting to see it today.
"Is this the legendary Golden Benefit Pill?" Huo Lingling was also shocked. She might not have seen it before, but that didn't mean she hadn't heard of it.
Ming Yue, barely containing her excitement, nodded, "Ling'er, can you give one of these Golden Benefit Pills to your master?"
