"Fellow Daoist, you have followed me for so long, it's time to come out and meet."

Su Fan walked for a long time, suddenly stopped at the end of the street, and said to the air behind him.

Not long after the words fell, a figure appeared behind him, wearing a black robe, and the whole person was shrouded in the black robe.

"Fellow Daoist, hiding your head and showing your tail, what do you want to do by following me for so long?"

Su Fan said with a bit of severity, and at the same time, he used the Spirit Eye Technique to scan, and found that the other party was a cultivator at the ninth layer of Qi Refining, and frowned.

"Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand."

The black-robed man, with an old tone, carried a bit of apologetic feeling.

"Humph! Misunderstanding! Fellow Daoist, you wouldn't say that you are also walking here, would you?"

"I specially turned around twice just now, and you have been following me here. What is there to misunderstand?"

Su Fan still looked at the other party coldly.

"Fellow Daoist really misunderstood me. I am indeed following you." The black robe took off the black robe hat on his head, revealing an old face.

"This old man, Mu Lizi, has met fellow Daoist."

"So it's fellow Daoist Mu. I don't know what you are following me for?" Su Fan's cold expression slightly retracted, but there was still a bit of impatience. After all, anyone being followed, especially by a stranger, is naturally unhappy.

It is even more so in the world of immortal cultivation.

"I haven't asked for fellow Daoist's honorable name yet." Mu Lizi seemed not to see Su Fan's impatience, but smiled and said.

"Humph! I am Han Li." Su Fan reported a name at will. When going out, he naturally would not reveal his real name.

"So it's fellow Daoist Han. Nice to meet you!"

I don't know if he really believed Su Fan's words, or pretended not to know. This white-browed old man had an honest smile, but it still didn't reduce Su Fan's vigilance at all.

The more so, the more Su Fan was vigilant against this person. The world of immortal cultivation is full of deceit, and he would not easily trust others.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, is there anything?"

"Haha! This old man just heard you and Shopkeeper Yan mention Ningyuan grass in Bai Cao Pavilion, and guessed whether fellow Daoist needs Ningyuan grass?"

Hearing Mu Lizi mention Ningyuan grass, Su Fan's heart moved. "Does fellow Daoist have Ningyuan grass?"

"If fellow Daoist has it, I can pay to acquire the Ningyuan grass in your hand."

Su Fan finally slowed down his tone.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint fellow Daoist Su. This old man doesn't have Ningyuan grass." The old man shook his head, and then saw Su Fan's face was a bit cold, so he quickly said: "However, this old man knows where there is Ningyuan grass."

"Is this true?"

Su Fan's face changed again.

"Naturally!" Mu Lizi was very sure.

"Since that's the case, dare fellow Daoist return to my cave with me to discuss in detail?"

"Fellow Daoist Su invites me, naturally I am willing to go." The old man seemed very confident and was not afraid of Su Fan secretly harming him.

Of course, Su Fan naturally had no intention of moving him, but changed his attitude and enthusiastically brought him to one of his rented caves.

Looking at the cave in front of him, Mu Lizi still moved in his heart, and became more certain in his heart that this person should be a capable alchemist. Otherwise, how could he rent such a cave?

With his net worth, he didn't dare to rent such a cave.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, please. I recently got some Spirit Nourishing Tea. Let's taste it together."

Su Fan brought Mu Lizi to the living room of his cave and took out a portion of Spirit Nourishing Tea. This tea is a Tier 1 high-grade famous product, containing spiritual energy, which improves the cultivator's divine soul.

"I didn't expect fellow Daoist Su to have such a thing. This old man is taking advantage." Mu Lizi is also a person who knows the goods. Seeing the things Su Fan took out, his expression also changed, followed by a full face of smiles.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist is polite. It's just a little spirit tea, it's nothing." Su Fan had an arrogant appearance, which was also deliberately shown to the other party.

After tasting the tea, Su Fan slowly said: "Fellow Daoist said before that you know the whereabouts of Ningyuan grass. Can you tell me in detail? If you tell me, I will definitely thank you heavily."

Mu Lizi put down the cup and smiled again: "Hehe! Fellow Daoist Su, I do know the whereabouts of Ningyuan grass."

"But?"

"The place where this Ningyuan grass is located is not that safe."

After finishing, he looked at Su Fan and continued: "This is also one of the reasons why I followed fellow Daoist today."

Hearing Mu Lizi's words, Su Fan frowned, but his heart moved.

"Then I don't know, fellow Daoist, tell me in detail."

"That place was discovered by this old man three years ago in a spirit vein place in the Southern Wilderness."

"However, fellow Daoist, don't worry. Rest assured, it is very hidden and very safe."

"Fellow Daoist discovered it three years ago. Whether it exists now is an unknown." Su Fan said unhappily.

"Haha! Indeed, but there is an array there. Three months ago, I specially went there again, and the Ningyuan grass is still there."

"Array?"

Su Fan frowned tightly. Located in the Southern Wilderness, with an array, could it be a predecessor's cave? He couldn't help but think about the purpose of this person.

"Fellow Daoist Su, I'll tell you the truth. That place is a predecessor's cave, but there is an array outside the cave. I tried many times, but I couldn't break the array by myself."

"During this time, I have also been looking for helpers, and accidentally heard that you are looking for Ningyuan grass, so I came to you."

Mu Lizi said sincerely.

However, Su Fan didn't believe a word of it. He was not a greenhorn who had just entered the world.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist is joking. You are at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and you couldn't break the array of that predecessor's cave. How can I, at the eighth layer of Qi Refining, help you?"

Su Fan shook his head. He guessed whether this guy had malice towards him, but doing so was too obvious.

"Hehe! This old man knows this is very sudden, but what this old man said is true."

"This old man also knows what fellow Daoist is worried about. How about this, fellow Daoist Su, if you really don't trust me, you can invite someone you trust to come. By then, I will invite another person, and the four of us will go to explore that cave together."

"That cave is a predecessor alchemist's cave. What this old man seeks is some inheritance of the cave, which can be sold for a good price."

"This old man also tells the truth to fellow Daoist. Now I am fifty-six years old, and sixty is coming soon. I want to fight for it one last time. As long as I obtain some alchemy inheritance from that predecessor's cave and sell it to the Taihe Chamber of Commerce, my net worth of decades, plus these, is enough to gather a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"As for fellow Daoist, by then, the inheritance there can be copied. It can only be copied, and cannot be traded before me."

"If fellow Daoist agrees, you and I will sign a soul contract. By then, if fellow Daoist doesn't believe me, you can go and see it yourself, and then go to break into that predecessor's cave with me."

Mu Lizi laid everything out, very sincerely.

Su Fan, however, sneered in his heart. He really thought he didn't understand anything. The more the other party was like this, the less he believed it.

It's not that he doesn't believe that the cave and Ningyuan grass are fake, but he doesn't believe this person.

But to be honest, he was moved.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, I need to consider this matter."

Su Fan pondered for a while before saying slowly. After speaking, Su Fan specially looked at the other party, and sure enough, a trace of change in the depths of the other party's eyes was seen by him.

"Haha! Naturally, this matter is of great importance, and it really needs careful consideration." Mu Lizi naturally knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. As long as the other party is moved, it means he has an opportunity.

He naturally would not show how anxious he was.
