Master Shi glanced at him a few times, then reached out to grab him.
The little boy shuddered and suddenly leapt up, kowtowing repeatedly, crying out, "Master, please have mercy on this child. Cultivation has not been easy for me; spare me, please..."
Hearing his fragile and sorrowful voice, Master Shi paused his hand and reassured him, saying, "Do not fear. I do not wish to take your life. I only need to borrow your Essence Blood to find the Ganoderma Ancestor."
The little boy froze for a moment and then frantically waved his hands, saying, "Master is searching for the Ancestor? Even if you take my Essence Blood, you won't be able to catch him..."
Master Shi feigned ignorance, saying, "Oh? And why is that? If you can give me a reason, I will spare you."
