114. Chapter 114: Kindred Spirits
In just one hour, Luo Yao had learned about Xi Lan's situation; if she let her continue speaking, even her childhood mud-slinging antics would come out.
Luo Yao didn't know if she was truly carefree or doing it on purpose; if the latter, that was terrifying.
However, Luo Yao still had to test her.
"Lan Jie, didn't you just ask me why I don't use Talisman Paper? It's because I have something better."
Luo Yao took a Red Sun Pill from her Storage Bag. "This is a Red Sun Pill. After taking it, you won't have to worry about Yin Qi erosion for twenty-four hours."
As she spoke, she stared fixedly at Xi Lan.
Hearing this, Xi Lan's face showed surprise, yet she revealed no greed or other expressions.
The two soon arrived near the small hill; as soon as they approached, Luo Yao felt the Yin Qi around them become thin.
Luo Yao hurriedly stopped her; after the contact, she determined that Xi Lan was worth befriending.
But such behavior of not taking advantage, anyone would feel goodwill toward.
"It's fine."
"I know," the Fatty said, curling his lip. "Isn't it just catching a little ghost?"
Xi Lan waved her hand, smiling, "Only a fool would practice Inedia; there are so many delicious things in the Immortal Cultivation World, and I haven't enjoyed enough yet!"
So, give a peach, receive a plum in return.
Her attacks would hardly harm a Yin Soul, but with a Thunder Talisman, it would be different.
A spicy meat aroma surged into the two of their noses, then spread throughout their bodies.
Afterwards, Xi Lan set up an Array to protect the two of them within it and isolate the surrounding Yin Qi.
"Besides, in this Yin Qi place, if you don't carry some Thunder Talismans on you, it's always unsafe."
"So fragrant!"
Luo Yao watched her stuff three or four Thunder Talismans into her hand and was momentarily stunned.
Xi Lan was overjoyed, then took out three or four pieces of Talisman Paper and handed them to Luo Yao. "Great, thank you, Xiao Yao."
Hearing this, the Fatty shivered instantly, daring not to think about roasting meat anymore; after all, if the mission failed, he would become roasted meat, or even worse.
"Xiao Yao, do you have any extras? If not, forget it; if you do, can you sell them to me?"
"Are you craving food!" the Cultivator frowned. "Let me tell you, we have a big mission to accomplish this time."
"Lan Jie, are these few pieces of Talisman Paper exchanged for this one Red Sun Pill?"
"This is one of the exits of the Ancient Battlefield, so Yang Qi from the outside enters this place, causing the Yin Qi here to be thin; thus, Yin Souls generally won't approach here, making it much safer than other places."
Luo Yao didn't want to take advantage, and Xi Lan didn't want to take advantage either, then handed Luo Yao another four or five.
Luo Yao was somewhat surprised. "Lan Jie, isn't the Foundation Establishment Stage supposed to practice Inedia?"
"I have a few more seasonings here!"
"So, don't make a fuss; if this mission fails, the Elders of the Corpse Demon Sect won't help you refine you into a Corpse Puppet when you return."
Indeed, as Luo Yao sprinkled the spices on the fire bird, a sizzling sound immediately erupted, and oil and water kept bubbling out from the fire bird.
Three pieces of Talisman Paper, one for each pill.
For friends, Luo Yao naturally wouldn't cheat.
Although in her view, her Talisman Paper wasn't worth much, Luo Yao's Red Sun Pill was even more valuable.
Especially for Luo Yao; after all, her cultivation hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, so if she encountered a Yin Soul, it would be dangerous.
Seeing Luo Yao's action, a hint of surprise flashed in Xi Lan's eyes, and the smile on her face grew even stronger.
She didn't reach out to take it, but felt the intense Yang Qi within, then said.
"It's not that there isn't enough; it's that there's too much."
Luo Yao nodded and stopped being pretentious.
"Moreover, as long as we spread the news that the little ghost has been captured, the Ghost Cultivators of the Ancient Battlefield will flood into Pingzhou; at that time, it will be a good opportunity for our Corpse Demon Sect to fish in troubled waters."
Not only that, the aroma also spread through the Array to the surroundings.
After thinking for a moment, she took out two more Red Sun Pills.
Immediately, she took out two more fire birds from her Storage Bag, processed them simply, then took out two iron skewers, threaded the fire birds onto them, and placed them over the fire to roast.
If cultivation lacked food, half the fun would be gone.
In the distance, several Cultivators happened to pass by; one with a keen nose immediately stopped.
To be honest, even if the Red Sun Pills were gone, she could continue refining them; after all, she still had plenty of Spirit Herbs, and for her, these had no cost.
As a result, after getting to know her, she found that Luo Yao was more mature and sensible than she had imagined, which is why she developed the desire to befriend her.
Luo Yao watched her take out Talisman Paper, seeing she genuinely wanted to buy, and immediately nodded. "Sure, exchanging for Thunder Talismans is fine."
Hearing this, the two Cultivators nearby rolled their eyes. "Idiot, this is the Ancient Battlefield, a place of nine deaths and one life; Yin Souls are everywhere, a place where one dares not even relax while meditating; how could anyone be eating roasted meat? Do they not value their lives!"
Luo Yao immediately felt deep agreement; she was also a foodie... a gourmet, so naturally she thought the same.
"Whatever you want, I can provide; I have Thunder Talismans, and also Pills..."
"Big Brother, did you smell that? Someone is roasting meat!"
Xi Lan's eyes immediately sparkled; she hadn't expected Luo Yao to be a kindred spirit, carrying such seasonings.
Even the lowest-grade Thunder Talisman costs one hundred Spirit Stones per sheet; Xi Lan directly stuffed three or four into her own hand—was she rich and bold, or did she not understand the price?
"But, Big Brother, I really smelled it!"
"Really?"
Originally, she just wanted to help the little girl before her; after all, at only eight years old, she had wandered into the Ancient Battlefield; if she didn't help, she would probably be swallowed by Yin Souls.
Did Xi Lan not know the price of Thunder Talismans?
After all, knowing she had such good Pills, she didn't show greed; instead, she immediately offered to pay to buy them without haggling or anything, which made Luo Yao feel even more goodwill.
"Right, isn't that enough?" Hearing this, Xi Lan hurriedly took more from his Storage Bag. "Then I'll add some more."
Therefore, under these circumstances, the worthless Red Sun Pill is definitely less precious than the Thunder Talisman.
Seeing that Xi Lan was not adding any seasoning, Luo Yao hurriedly took out the barbecue spices she had made in her previous life from her Storage Bag.
Instead, this Thunder Talisman is extremely precious in this Ancient Battlefield.
Afterwards, Xi Lan took out two pieces of fur and spread them on the ground, then found a pile of wood from the surroundings and ignited it with the Fireball Technique.
"What do you mean by 'little ghost'?" The cultivator's face darkened. "That little ghost has a special identity; if captured, the Ghost Cultivator factions in the Ancient Battlefield would go mad."
"As for these Palm Thunder Talismans, they are actually worthless in the outer sects."
One Red Sun Pill sells for one hundred Spirit Stones; Luo Yao thought that was fine, but three or four Talisman Papers made her feel a bit guilty.
The three left quickly and did not encounter Luo Yao.
After all, Luo Yao and the other had set up an Array long ago; an Array set up by someone at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage could not possibly be discovered easily.
