Chapter 87

Arriving at the entrance of Luoxian City, he saw the old woman anxiously waiting at the gate.

Although she was of advanced age, she was still just a Golden Core cultivator. It was already a stroke of luck that the Heavenly Demon Daoist didn't casually kill her.

Seeing Luohuang return with Nannan, she hurriedly approached, respectfully saying, "This junior greets Lord Luohuang."

"No need for formalities."

Luohuang quickly helped the old woman to her feet. He didn't dare to be arrogant now, preparing to treat her as an equal, for who could have such a good disciple?

He looked at the old woman with a complex gaze, his heart filled with envy.

This old woman had hit the jackpot, able to climb the ladder of success by associating with Young Master Li. It was truly a leap to the heavens.

She probably didn't even know what kind of existence she had befriended.

Just the value of that calligraphy scroll was immeasurable, even surpassing the entire Qianlong Immortal Dynasty!

It contained the Dao aura that could manifest immortals, and it also contained the path to immortality! If this were to be known, countless people would go mad.

As for Nannan, she was also a treasure. Although she had a lower-grade spiritual root, she had been blessed by an immortal!

The Heavenly Demon Daoist was a Cultivation of the Soul Realm cultivator, and his essence had been completely integrated into Nannan's body, extending her potential infinitely.

Moreover, with Nannan's relationship with Young Master Li, any casual favor from him would bring unimaginable benefits!

Envy, so much envy!

The more Luohuang thought, the redder his eyes became, his heart aching, wishing he could take her place.

Unfortunately, the situation was already set, and he definitely couldn't go against the will of a great person. He could only try to be friendly and form a good connection.

"May I ask which sect you belong to?" His expression was slightly unnatural, not even knowing her sect, clearly not taking her seriously.

However, for Nannan's sake, he had to find out.

The old woman didn't mind, saying, "I am from the Golden Lotus Sect."

Luohuang's eyebrows furrowed slightly. This sect was too small, unheard of.

Zhong Xiu, standing nearby, asked, "Is it the Golden Lotus Sect located in the north of the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty?"

The old woman nodded quickly, "Yes, exactly."

Zhong Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I remember the sect leader of the Golden Lotus Sect is Wu Hanyan."

"That's my sister..." The old woman sighed, her face slightly sad, "She went out to train three months ago and was injured by the Ten Thousand Poison Bees. She doesn't have much time left."

"Good news!"

Luohuang was suddenly startled, instantly becoming spirited and delighted.

But he quickly coughed twice, "I mean... that's truly very sad!"

"But don't worry, just Ten Thousand Poison Bees. The Qianlong Immortal Dynasty has the spiritual medicine to cure this poison. I'll go get it for you right away!"

He was excited, worrying about how to form a good connection, and now this opportunity had come!

The old woman's face lit up, incredulously asking, "You really are willing to give me the antidote?"

She naturally knew the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty had the antidote, but in the past three months, she had begged countless sects and been turned away countless times. The Golden Lotus Sect was just a tiny sect, and no one was willing to help them.

"Follow me!"

Luohuang led the old woman straight to the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty, then directly took out a pile of spiritual medicines and immortal herbs from the treasure vault, stacking them like a small mountain in front of the old woman.

"This, this, this..."

The old woman was dumbfounded, her breathing becoming labored.

She had lived for over three hundred years and never dared to dream of seeing so many spiritual medicines in her life.

Getting any one of them would be enough to make her treasure it and be overjoyed.

Luohuang categorized the medicines, generously saying, "Your sect is in the barren north, so you must lack spiritual medicines! This pile is for Nannan's Qi Condensation stage, this pile is for the Foundation Establishment stage, and this pile is for the Golden Core stage... come back for more whenever you need it, and don't be stingy with Nannan!"

"This, I, my disciple..." The old woman looked at Nannan, feeling her scalp tingle. What kind of identity did she have to make Luohuang treat her like this!

Luohuang looked at the old woman solemnly and said, "You may not know what kind of disciple you have, but... I must tell you, Nannan will be the greatest opportunity for your Golden Lotus Sect since its founding. You must ensure her safety. If you raise her well, your Golden Lotus Sect could even surpass the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty. If you don't, the consequences will be dire."

Surpass the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty?

The Golden Lotus Sect had been established for less than a thousand years, and they never dared to have such aspirations.

The old woman's heart trembled, her face turning red with excitement, her scalp tingling as she said, "May I ask, is it because of that... young master?"

Luohuang smiled slightly, "Heh, you just need to know that he is an existence you can't even imagine."

Sigh—

The old woman felt her heart constrict, almost trembling as she took Nannan from Luoshiyu's hands.

She didn't even dare to hold Nannan tightly, afraid of hurting her.

She was as silent as a cicada, hurriedly saying, "I will definitely take good care of Nannan!"

She had brought a grandmother home! Even if she risked her life, she absolutely wouldn't let this little girl be harmed!

"Good."

Luohuang nodded. As long as this old woman wasn't foolish, she would know what to do.

...

Li Nianfan and Daji arrived at the foot of the mountain, slowly walking towards the courtyard.

It was already very late, and the sky had completely darkened. The entire mountain forest was shrouded in darkness, the path on the mountain pitch black, with no light visible.

Strange roars occasionally echoed from the dark forest, making the night even more eerie.

"I made a mistake. I knew there were rampant demons recently, yet I still came back so late. Heaven help me, please don't let me encounter any demons!" Li Nianfan kept muttering to himself.

His heart was truly in turmoil, but because Daji was by his side, he had to pretend to be calm, maintaining a man's courage.

Fortunately, Daji was very composed, not panicking like a typical girl, which made Li Nianfan feel a bit better.

The journey home seemed especially long. Li Nianfan felt his way in the dark, sighing inwardly, "I never noticed before that there are no streetlights here. If only I had a lantern or a flashlight. If that's not possible, I should have brought the lamp from home."

In the darkness, two pairs of incredibly tiny eyes were hidden in the forest, closely watching Li Nianfan and Daji.

They were actually two enormous rats.

"Brother, look, two mortals are coming!"

"Wow, that woman is so beautiful. She must be delicious!"

"Indeed, to meet them so late at night is a rare opportunity, a blessing from heaven."

"You don't understand. At night, a man and a woman often enter the small forest, and they don't even need us to undress them. Got it?"

"Got it, got it, Brother is wise."

However, just as they were about to act, they saw the beautiful woman glance at them imperceptibly.

Just one glance left their minds blank, their bodies stiff, and their blood flowing backward!

Then, two ice sculptures of rats appeared in the forest!
