"Fourth Elder! Look... look how arrogant this kid is! We'll storm the mountain today and drag him out," Mo Jiu pointed at Lu Fan and the disheveled old Daoist at the foot of Lishan Mountain, saying to the Fourth Elder beside him with righteous indignation.
"Fine! You, take two hundred men and bring those two back!" the Fourth Elder said, glancing at Mo Jiu.
Gulp... Mo Jiu swallowed. He cursed the Fourth Elder's ancestors in his heart.
"Fourth Elder! We have a thousand men now, why don't we charge together? Even stepping on him once each would crush that kid into a meat patty," Mo Jiu said, his eyes darting.
"Hmph! Coward! Useless!" The Fourth Elder glared at Mo Jiu, knowing this guy was all talk, better at speaking than anyone, but the first to run when it came to fighting.
"Everyone, charge! There's a reward for capturing those two!" the Fourth Elder roared, pointing at Lu Fan and the disheveled old Daoist.
Whoosh... Upon hearing about the reward, over a thousand people's spirits soared, and they all charged towards Lu Fan and the disheveled old Daoist. Zixiao Mountain had a hundred thousand disciples, but not so many resources. Therefore, the cultivation resources each person received annually were limited. So, when they heard about rewards, everyone rushed forward as if mad.
"Tie Laosi! Take your men and get lost!" A sharp shout suddenly rang out. Immediately, a figure flew over rapidly. In an instant, they arrived, hovering in mid-air, glaring at the Fourth Elder.
"Fan... Fan Lihua!" Tie Laosi's eyes twitched. However, looking at the nearly a thousand men on his side, his courage seemed to swell. He cleared his throat and said, "Fan Lihua! Stop meddling. Those two aren't from your Lishan."
"Tie Laosi! They are standing on my Lishan mountain, and I won't tolerate your insolence! I'll give you one chance, get lost now, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Fan Lihua shouted, standing in mid-air and glaring at Tie Laosi.
Gulp... Lu Fan swallowed. Fan Lihua? He never expected to see a historical figure. Judging by her appearance, she must have been much more beautiful in her youth than in the movies.
"Hmph! Just... just you alone, can you stop my thousand men?" Tie Laosi shouted, feeling a bit guilty.
"Hmph! Then why don't you try!" Fan Lihua snorted coldly, and suddenly a pear blossom spear appeared in her hand!
"Alright! Fine! I'll give you Fan Lihua face today. Hmph! But kid, don't let me run into you elsewhere, or I won't let you off!" Tie Laosi pointed at Lu Fan, said boastfully, then turned and led his men away.
"Damn it! As if I'd let you off!" Lu Fan sneered coldly, cursing the bastard in his heart! Fan Lihua saved you, alright.
Seeing Tie Laosi and his men leave, Fan Lihua turned to look at Lu Fan. Without saying another word, she put away her pear blossom spear and flew directly towards the mountaintop.
"Old fellow, does it feel good to be thrown down by someone?" Lu Fan said to the disheveled old Daoist, speaking indignantly. This old fellow seemed to be a troublemaker; if he wasn't causing trouble, he'd surely disappear.
"Kid! This Daoist was just trying to do a good deed! Such a fine woman, staying on the mountain for decades or even a century, imbalance of yin and yang will cause aging! I didn't expect that immortal maiden to be unappreciative and think this Daoist was some kind of bad person! This Daoist is a genuine good person, alright!" The disheveled old Daoist said with a shameless expression.
"Alright! You're a good person, a great person!" Lu Fan rolled his eyes and also flew towards the mountain.
The disheveled old Daoist assumed an indifferent posture, took out a chicken leg from his embrace, and started gnawing on it as he walked up the mountain.
Not far away, the young Daoist nun Qinghe watched with disgust. This old fellow with such behavior still wanted to pursue a Daoist nun? Tsk... Qinghe turned and left quickly.
The disheveled old Daoist wiped his mouth, suddenly put away the chicken leg, and then ran down the mountain with swift movements.
On the mountaintop, Lu Fan watched the disheveled old Daoist slip down the mountain and couldn't help but rub his nose. What bad thing was this old fellow going to do again? Swish... Lu Fan concealed his aura and chased after the disheveled old Daoist.
The disheveled old Daoist left Lishan, observed the surrounding peaks, suddenly changed into a different set of clothes, and then ran towards a more distant peak.
Ye Shisan followed the disheveled old Daoist at a moderate distance, feeling a bit puzzled. This old fellow didn't seem like an outsider. Moreover, the clothes he changed into were the ones he had stripped from the disciples on Zixiao Mountain earlier.
Not long after, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain one after another. They immediately felt the abundant spiritual energy, which seemed to surpass other places.
As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, several people came down from the mountain. However, they didn't seem to pay attention to the two and walked past them.
The two then directly went up the mountain. They saw that large tracts of land had been excavated on the mountain, filled with various herbs. From common herbs to high-grade herbs, and even some rare and precious ones. Lu Fan was stunned. Was this the Immortal Medicine Garden of Zixiao Mountain? Many of these herbs only appeared in his mind after he saw them; he had never had any impression of them before.
He had to admire his own eyes; for every herb he saw, its name, properties, uses, and other information would appear.
"Kid! You've been looking for so long, don't you want to collect some herbs to refine pills?" Suddenly, the disheveled old Daoist appeared in front of Lu Fan, glaring at the stunned Lu Fan and saying.
"Old fellow... you're right!" Lu Fan immediately snapped back to his senses and rushed into the herb garden, starting to collect medicinal materials! The disheveled old Daoist was even less polite, rushing into a nearby medicinal field and then sweeping through it.
"Stop! Which peak are you from? Stop!" A voice suddenly came, followed by a figure flying down from the peak, charging towards the disheveled old Daoist in a rage.
Lu Fan was startled, but seeing that the person was heading towards the disheveled old Daoist, he felt relieved and accelerated his harvesting.
"Kid! We've been discovered, run!" The disheveled old Daoist turned and ran down the mountain, shouting as he ran.
Lu Fan ignored him completely and continued his harvesting mode.
"Huh? Is there someone else? You, come out! I see you! If you don't come out, I'll have to be impolite." The person who chased down was startled by the disheveled old Daoist's shout. However, after searching all around, he couldn't see anyone. So, he chased after the disheveled old Daoist again.
"Bastard! How dare you trick me! You stop right there and tell me which peak you're from. See if I don't have the Enforcement Hall deal with you."
