Chapter 958: Treasure Hunt

Ming Yao was really noisy along the way.
Because she loved to ask ‘why’.
Su Xiaolu guided her step by step. Ming Yao had developed a strong interest in Guiyuan Academy, so after following Su Xiaolu for two months, Ming Yao decided to enter the capital alone and take a look at Guiyuan Academy.
Su Xiaolu wrote a recommendation letter for her.
Ming Yao asked in confusion, “Why is it written so clearly? Could it be that
Guiyuan Academy also has those snobs?”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Of course. Such people exist everywhere in the world.”
Su Xiaolu did not avoid Ming Yao and gave the letter to her.
Ming Yao took it and put it away.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “You are going because you want to learn. You know what you want, so you don’t have to care so much. I hope you have a good experience.”
Ming Yao placed her hands on her hips and said proudly, “Of course I will. Whoever dares to treat me badly will definitely suffer. Even if I don’t take his life, I’ll torture him to death.”
She was not like those weak humans who could not resist when bullied.
Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Whoever dares to bully you is really blind.”
She had studied Ming Yao’s poison. From December to the new year and now spring, the poison was ever-changing. It could be said that she was the poison itself. If she wanted the poison to be heavy, it would be heavy. If she wanted it to be light, it would be light.
The lightest symptoms could be an itch on the body or sore limbs and sneezing. The heavy ones were headaches, vomiting, and diarrhea. The stronger ones could even corrode rocks.
Su Xiaolu collected a lot of this natural poison that did not need extraction.
The girl still didn’t understand that this was her scheme, but she would understand when she learned more.
After sending Mingyue off, Su Xiaolu prepared to go to Su Lin. There was an entrance to the foreign land there. Someone had discovered the Interface Stone inside.
It was the most popular place for cultivators. It was filled with danger, but there were also many treasures.
Often, many people would travel to the foreign land together, but it would be difficult for them to return fully.
Some people were discussing the Interface Stone when they were resting in the inn. Su Xiaolu saw it and went forward to ask. After confirming that it was an Interface Stone, she immediately decided to go to Su Lin.
After so many years, Su Kuo had never grown up again. This meant that he did not eat enough. She still doted on her brother. She had to make him big and strong.
Su Lin was located at the intersection of the Yan Kingdom and the Great Zhou.
The entrance was in a remote mountain village. After the foreign land appeared, the few people in this mountain village had already moved out.
In the empty village, the roads were already overgrown with weeds. The houses were uninhabited and were mostly dilapidated and attacked by weeds.
Su Xiaolu and the others chose a relatively complete house to rest in and eat something before preparing to enter the foreign land.
The next day.
The entrance of the foreign land was shrouded in white fog, and no sound could be heard from inside.
Su Xiaolu and the other two went in. It was similar to before. They had to go through an ordinary journey.
When several mountains that looked like paradise appeared in front of them, the rich spiritual energy seemed to be able to intoxicate people. They were in a col.
Su Kuo sighed. “What abundant spiritual energy. Such a land will definitely nurture many treasures.”
Little Niu agreed. “It will also nurture many evil beasts.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of a strong wind breaking through the air. Su Xiaolu drew her sword and swung it down. The corpse of a
big bird was cut in half.
Its curved claws were still trembling.
Su Xiaolu wiped the blood off the sword on its feathers and pushed it. This bird’s flesh was really tight.
Su Kuo smiled. “You guys can’t eat it, but I can.”
Su Kuo transformed into his beast form and opened his mouth to eat. The fleshless claws, head, and wings were torn off. The smelly feathers were removed, and the tight meat was like uncooked cow tendons. The spiritual energy nourishing it was not bad.
They looked up at the sky, where birds occasionally circled.
They circled in the air and waited for an opportunity to descend. They would attack the weak and not touch the strong.
Su Xiaolu took out the medicinal powder and said, “Keep it on you to avoid insects and mosquitoes.”
In here, even mosquitoes were not ordinary mosquitoes.
They began to enter deeper into the foreign land.
They passed by some places on the way. There seemed to be traces of a fight, but these were not surprising to them.
They were not the only ones searching for treasures in the foreign land. There were many others. They might meet them or not.
The sun was bright during the day, but at dusk, dark clouds gathered and thunderclouds flashed.
Su Xiaolu frowned. “This rain doesn’t look light. Let’S find a place to shelter from the rain.”
In the foreign land, pure internal energy could not be used. It could only be supplemented by special abilities and spiritual power. It was difficult to enter the foreign land in the early-stage, but now that decades had passed, those who cultivated had long obtained strong spiritual power, so they could come and go freely in the foreign land.
However, it was not just humans who grew, but also beasts.
These beasts were ferocious and unintelligent. They had a strong territorial sense and liked to kill.
It was not easy to find a cliff cave.
Su Xiaolu and the others searched for a while. Before the hail came, they hid inside the cave.
The smell of blood entered their noses, and the three of them became vigilant.
Su Kuo said loudly, “Sorry to disturb you, Fellow Daoist. We didn’t know that there was someone here first. We’re just here to borrow a resting place. We won’t interfere with each other.”
A muffled voice came from the depths of the pitch-black Cave Abode. “Okay. If you cross the line, just like this stone—”
A powerful spiritual energy hit a huge rock and it instantly shattered.
This was considered intimidation, which meant that they should comply.
Su Kuo touched his nose and began to clean up with Little Niu.
After sitting down, he took firewood and food from the meson space and ate them slowly.
From time to time, some hailstones fell in. Looking at the fist-sized hailstones, Su Xiaolu fell into deep thought.
She had not entered the foreign land for decades. Has the foreign land become like this?
The fire brought warmth and dispelled some of the cold.
That person said that the stone was found by a lake in the hinterland of the foreign land, but that lake was bone-chilling and people could not go down at all.
This stone was useless. It was not an ore and it did not have spiritual power, but it was strange, so he brought it out to study it. He did not expect Su Xiaolu and the others to take a fancy to it.
“Sister, sleep with Brother Niu. I’ll keep watch.”
Su Kuo patted his chest and said.
Here, there was enough spiritual energy and one could cultivate. However, this was not a safe place after all and he could not fully invest in it, so it was best for him to guard them.
With him guarding them, Little Niu and Su Xiaolu could cultivate and expirate spiritual energy.
In the latter half of the night, Little Niu and Su Kuo switched.
Su Xiaolu absorbed spiritual energy for the entire night and felt that her mind was clear and comfortable. The sky outside was already bright and the sun was high.
Su Xiaolu and the others left.
Long after they left, a figure came out of the depths of the cave. She limped and left with her walking stick.
She did not walk fast and even muttered, “Damn old witch, I’ll definitely kill you myself! Damn Hu Changshou, who asked you to save them .
