Chapter 25 What's wrong with you?
Ma Shan Laolao lay on the ground, her triangular eyes darting around.
Then, with a swish, she pulled out a cherry-sized Medicinal Pill and popped it into her mouth.
Lu Bai saw this and didn't dare to be slow, quickly pulling out his remaining Spirit Stones and beginning to frantically Cultivate!
He also had Medicinal Pills, but they were mostly for treating injuries.
And now, treating injuries wasn't important; recovering his Qi was the top priority.
Whoever recovered enough for one strike first would be able to put the other to death!
The two recovered while observing each other.
When Lu Bai saw that Ma Shan Laolao's recovery speed was far inferior to his, he couldn't help but laugh!
"You scared me, I thought that Medicinal Pill was some divine item, but it's nothing special after all."
"The Swallowing Skill is still more powerful!"
About ten minutes later.
Lu Bai propped himself up with his arm, struggled to his feet, then picked up the Magical Artifact sword beside him and walked towards Ma Shan Laolao.
Ma Shan Laolao was filled with anxiety!
She also wanted to get up.
Unfortunately, after two attempts, she only managed to get halfway up before collapsing again.
Lu Bai stopped three zhang away from Ma Shan Laolao.
He didn't dare to get any closer, fearing she might be faking it!
Standing still, he gently waved his Magical Artifact sword, and in a short while, formed a large Smoky Rain Binding net.
This large net was far inferior to the one he could form at his Peak! But it was enough to deal with Ma Shan Laolao, who had no power to fight back!
"Go!"
Lu Bai shook his Magical Artifact sword, sending out the Smoky Rain Binding.
Ma Shan Laolao frantically crawled backward, despair in her eyes.
But obviously, it was all in vain; the large net fell, binding her tightly.
Bang!
Seeing this, Lu Bai's heart relaxed, and he lay back down on the ground.
The little Qi he had managed to recover was completely used up.
Now there was no need for a race; even if Ma Shan Laolao recovered to her Peak, under the Seal of the Smoky Rain Binding, she was no different from an ordinary person.
The fine drizzle hit his face, and Lu Bai suddenly felt a sense of surviving a disaster.
He thought back.
He realized that he had a fatal misconception about Cultivation and combat.
That was, he liked to rely on probability too much!
How could he entrust his life to uncertain things?
Critical Strike could be a trump card, but it must never be the only trump card!
This time, if Ma Shan Laolao had been even a tiny bit stronger, he would have been in tragedy.
Therefore, Lu Bai decided that after he returned, he would choose a few more combat techniques to Cultivate and enrich his combat methods.
Previously, he had never paid attention to this area, only focusing on improving his Realm and brushing up on his little red hearts.
Of course, the latter two are also very important.
It would be great if he could achieve Foundation Establishment soon!
Breaking through a major Realm, if nothing unexpected happened, would give birth to another thread of affection, and he would gain a new skill.
His narrow victory over Ma Shan Laolao today was mainly due to the Swallowing Skill.
Therefore, the more skills he had, the more security he had.
After half an incense stick's time.
Lu Bai recovered some more Qi; he was going to completely deal with Ma Shan Laolao to avoid further complications.
"Don't kill me! I'll tell you how to condense a Blood Pill."
To save her life, Ma Shan Laolao was willing to offer her biggest secret.
"Sinister methods, I wouldn't even look at them!" Lu Bai scoffed.
Xuanqing Sect was a famous righteous sect; if his master's wife knew he dared to dabble in evil Cultivator methods, she would be the first to not spare him.
Moreover, he had the Swallowing Skill, and there were many things he could swallow, so there was no need to condense that thing.
"I am willing to offer a wisp of my Divine Soul and recognize you as my master."
"Tsk!" Lu Bai was even more dismissive.
"I ruthlessly rejected a great beauty like Su Yun'er, who is so charming and captivating; would I want an old woman with triangular eyes like you?"
Poof!
Lu Bai suddenly swung his sword, lopping off Ma Shan Laolao's ugly head.
"How great it would be if you were an old fox, maybe I could even dig out a Monster Core."
Lu Bai complained as he rummaged through her body, looking for any spoils of war.
"What is this?"
Lu Bai picked up a glass lamp-like object, inside which a ball of gray mist was imprisoned, giving him a familiar feeling.
Think carefully!
Su Yun'er's scent?
No wonder the old woman could always pinpoint his location; she must have relied on Su Yun'er's scent for detection.
Bang!
Lu Bai destroyed it, and Su Yun'er completely disappeared from this world.
After searching for a while, Lu Bai packed up all the potentially useful items from Ma Shan Laolao's body, then set her corpse on fire.
Whoosh!
After doing all this, Lu Bai conjured his flying boat and escaped into the distance.
The previous skirmish had caused a lot of commotion; it would be troublesome if a third party was attracted, and in his current state, any Cultivator could take his life.
It wasn't until he had fled several hundred li that Lu Bai put away his flying boat and found a cave to hide in.
At this moment, he was almost out of resources!
He had used some Spirit Stones he found on Ma Shan Laolao to control the flying boat to leave.
Lu Bai sat cross-legged and slowly recovered by circulating the Xuanqing Skill!
Two hours passed.
Lu Bai opened his eyes and let out a breath!
He had recovered seventy to eighty percent and temporarily had some self-preservation ability.
He took out the spoils of war he had seized from Ma Shan Laolao again; it was time to properly inventory them.
"What a mess!"
Lu Bai rummaged through them but didn't find anything worth noting.
On second thought, this was normal; a low-level Loose Cultivator was no different from a 'beggar'.
"Oh, right, there's also the Storage Pouch."
Lu Bai tried to open it.
Unfortunately, he couldn't.
There was a Divine Soul imprint on it, and his Realm was lower than Ma Shan Laolao's, so he couldn't erase it.
"Keep it for now!"
Lu Bai then took out the mandarin duck fish communication Magical Artifact and continued to send messages to You Lianruo.
After dealing with Ma Shan Laolao, he was no longer so eager to call the demoness back.
Mainly, she hadn't been heard from for so long, and Lu Bai was a bit worried.
Beep beep!
At this moment, the mandarin duck fish actually responded.
Lu Bai was overjoyed!
Beep beep!
He quickly sent another signal.
But this time, it became the same as before, with no response.
"Was that not a hallucination just now?"
Lu Bai was starting to doubt himself.
Then, he sent many more messages, but it was still the same.
"Never mind!"
Lu Bai decided to return to the sect alone after fully recovering.
The sun set, the moon rose, and night fell.
Lu Bai was meditating when he suddenly felt the mandarin duck fish move.
He took it out and looked.
"Hmm? Is You Lianruo nearby?"
This type of Magical Artifact could not only transmit messages but also pinpoint locations, but it was only effective within a hundred li radius.
Now, it clearly showed You Lianruo's location, and she was moving!
That meant she was coming to find him.
Lu Bai's Divine Thought spun rapidly!
Then, he threw the mandarin duck fish Magical Artifact into the cave and ran outside to find a spot to hide.
Something felt a little strange, so he decided to observe.
Soon!
A figure shot from afar.
Lu Bai focused his gaze; it was indeed You Lianruo.
His heart immediately relaxed by more than half.
However! When she got a little closer, and he saw You Lianruo's specific condition, he was stunned.
"What happened to you?"
Lu Bai immediately revealed himself and went to
meet her.
