After Master and the others received the news, they turned and left the hall.
I took out the Yin Gathering Pearl, ready to return it to Qing Dai.
After taking a couple of steps forward, I said to Qing Dai:
"Qing Dai, thank you.
This is the Yin Gathering Pearl, I'm returning it to you."
With that, I handed the Yin Gathering Pearl over.
Qing Dai looked at the Yin Gathering Pearl in my hand, then suddenly smiled:
"It's for you!"
Hearing this, I was greatly shocked:
"Ah? For, for me?"
This item was a treasure that even Daoist Master Tang would drool over.
It was said to be a precious pearl condensed from a place of extreme yin.
And now she was giving it away just like that?
Qing Dai looked at my astonished expression and chuckled:
"Take it! Although this pearl is rare, I have more!"
I was completely flustered and gasped.
I hadn't expected Qing Dai to be a rich woman.
Since that was the case, I wouldn't be polite.
Having this item on me was indeed very useful.
Especially since this pearl could absorb the power of Yin Curses, making it a great defensive treasure.
"Qing Dai, then I won't stand on ceremony."
"You also gave me a Zombie Pill last time! Take it!"
Qing Dai's beautiful eyes held a gentle gaze. Although I knew she was a ghost, I still felt a sense of closeness.
I nodded:
"Alright!"
Saying so, I took it back.
I put away the Yin Gathering Pearl.
At this moment, a paper figure carrying a tray walked over.
On it was a paper bag.
"And this, Spirit Infusion Tea."
Qing Dai pointed.
Looking at the large paper bag, I felt a bit embarrassed.
I had received the Yin Gathering Pearl, and now I was taking Spirit Infusion Tea, which was equivalent in value to gold.
I felt like I had struck it rich tonight!
"Hehehe! Young Master Qin, if Miss wants you to take it, then you should take it!"
The Dragon Granny beside me suddenly said with a laugh.
However, the sound of her laughter was not pleasant.
"Then, I won't be polite."
I stammered, and took the Spirit Infusion Tea from the tray as well.
Seeing me take it, Qing Dai seemed to smile:
"Alright, you should hurry back now!
Your Master and the others are waiting for you!"
I nodded.
Besides thanking her, I didn't know what else to say.
Finally, carrying the Spirit Infusion Tea and tucking away the Yin Gathering Pearl, I said thank you.
Reluctantly, I cast a lingering glance at Qing Dai.
Qing Dai also looked at me, her eyes filled with a tenderness that made it impossible to look away.
Charming and approachable.
Smiling, I turned and left.
After all, my Master and the others were waiting for me!
However, as I walked towards the door, I vaguely heard the Dragon Granny asking Qing Dai something.
I couldn't hear it very clearly, but it sounded like she said, "Miss, are you sure it's him?"
I vaguely heard it and was stunned for a moment.
When I stood at the door, trying to listen more carefully, there was no more sound from inside the room.
In the end, I could only quicken my pace and walk out rapidly.
A moment later, I exited the Nine Saints Manor and arrived at the entrance.
My Master and the others were all standing at the door waiting for me.
Seeing me emerge.
Master and Uncle Tang showed no expression.
Only Old Mo looked at me carrying a bag and happily walked over with a smile:
"Brother Qin, is this the Spirit Infusion Tea?"
"Yes, Spirit Infusion Tea."
With that, I directly handed it to Old Mo.
Mo Ting took it, opened it, and looked inside. He then turned to Uncle Tang and said:
"Master, we've become rich this time. According to the value you mentioned.
This tea is worth seven or eight hundred thousand, or even more..."
As a result, Uncle Tang rolled his eyes and directly slapped him on the head, saying sternly:
"Are you short of money?
This item is rare and hard to come by; you can't buy it even with money.
Hold it carefully, don't drop it..."
After being scolded by Old Mo, he immediately quieted down.
Seeing that I had also come out, Master took a puff of his cigarette.
He sighed and said:
"Alright, we've asked what we could.
Now let's head down the mountain!"
With that, he turned and began to walk out of the mountain ravine.
I glanced back at the Nine Saints Manor and quickly followed.
We walked along the stone path, past the strange ghostly flowers, and white mist rose behind us again.
In a moment, the Nine Saints Manor disappeared from view.
We walked back along the path.
Regarding Master's grandfather's matter, I asked my Master on the way:
"Master, regarding the Xiaohan Mountain incident.
When are you and Uncle planning to go?
If it's in the next couple of days, I won't go back home tomorrow."
Hearing this, Master looked back at me:
"You can go back tomorrow. Regarding the Xiaohan Mountain incident, your old bald donkey and I still need to discuss it."
As soon as Master finished speaking, Uncle Tang chimed in:
"At the earliest, it will be after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, your and Mo's cultivation is too shallow.
You two should not get involved in this matter.
If something happens to your Uncle and me, at least there will be a continuation of our lineage."
With that, Uncle Tang Lin took a swig from his large gourd.
But upon hearing this, Mo Ting and I were not pleased.
Although Mo Ting and I's cultivation was not high,
we had now reached the Qi Accumulation realm.
We could still deal with some minor ghosts and demons.
Furthermore, now that we had joined the sect, our Master's grandfather, True Master Jiu Xuan's, revenge was our revenge.
How could Mo Ting and I stand by and do nothing?
Mo Ting was the first to retort:
"Master, our Master's grandfather's matter is also our matter.
The more people, the more strength.
Take us with you.
We can at least help with odd jobs and run errands..."
I agreed with Old Mo's words and nodded:
"Uncle, Master.
Our cultivation may not be high.
But since we've become disciples, we've entered this path.
Our Master's grandfather's revenge is our revenge.
If we are to go to Xiaohan Mountain, we will go together.
Even if it's dangerous, we are not afraid..."
