Chapter 436 Exchanging Flowers for Lotus Seeds

Ji Yun Shen once again swung his sword, restraining the spirit snake from the right.

His swordplay became increasingly fierce, specifically targeting the snake's right eye, forcing it to constantly turn its head to defend itself.

Lin Liuyi quietly approached Long Mingyue and slipped her a pill.

"Liu Yi, where did you get these pills?"

"I asked Brother Monkey for it before I came here!" She had made thorough preparations before coming.

"Can I eat this?" Long Mingyue had, of course, heard the story of Monkey King. He was a deity, and they had a long way to go before they could become immortals!

"Don't worry, it's fine! The effectiveness of the medicine was deliberately reduced!"

Lin Liuyi didn't want the elixir of immortality from Laozi, because she couldn't afford it anyway. As a mortal, she was afraid her body would explode if she ate it!

Senior Brother Liu finally arrived at the edge of the pond and reached out to pick the nearest lotus seed.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the lotus seed, the water surface suddenly parted, and the head of the serpent leaped out from underwater, its fangs aimed straight for his throat!

"Holy crap, there's another one!" Senior Brother Liu felt like the heavens were against him. One was enough for them to fight, but there was another one.

"Senior Brother Liu!" Jiang Kuan exclaimed in surprise.

At the critical moment, he quickly jumped up, took out a small bottle from his pocket, and splashed the liquid inside onto the snake's eyes—it was the honey dew from the Drunken Immortal Flower that he had collected!

His heart was bleeding as he splashed the nectar; it was the flower nectar he had secretly collected behind Long Mingyue's back.

The serpent was momentarily distracted by the sudden sweet scent, its movements slowing down for a second.

Taking advantage of the moment, Senior Brother Liu plucked the lotus seeds, shouting, "Senior Brother, catch!"

He threw the lotus seeds at Ji Yun Shen, but was knocked away by the spirit snake and fell into the depths of the pool.

The icy water instantly submerged him; the excruciating pain in his chest rendered him powerless to struggle, and his consciousness began to fade.

In a daze, he saw a white figure leap into the water and pull him up.

"Cough! Cough cough!" Senior Brother Liu was dragged ashore, coughing violently and spitting out several mouthfuls of water.

Senior Brother Zhao knelt beside him, his white clothes soaked with sweat.

"Cough cough, Senior Brother Zhao, thank you so much!" Senior Brother Liu said weakly.

Jiang Kuan weakly whispered, "Why aren't you thanking me?"

After Ji Yun Shen took the lotus seeds and forced the spirit snake to retreat, he wanted to give the lotus seeds to Long Ming Yue.

"Moon!"

Seeing the wounds on Ji Yun Shen's body, Long Ming Yue resolutely refused.

Ji Yunshen stubbornly refused to take back the lotus seeds.

Long Mingyue glared at him, then suddenly shoved a lotus seed into his mouth: "Swallow it! The Nine-Turn Jade Heart Lotus can heal injuries."

The lotus seeds melt in your mouth, and a warm current flows through your limbs and bones.

Ji Yun Shen's pain immediately lessened, and even the hidden injuries he had suffered earlier were mostly healed.

"Mingyue, you!"

“I’ve already eaten,” Long Mingyue interrupted him. “Liu Yi gave me some pills.”

Ji Yun Shen then noticed that Long Ming Yue had a deep wound on her right arm that exposed bone, but it had completely healed.

"That's good!"

"Shut up, regulate your breathing." Long Mingyue turned her face away.

"The serpent may have retreated, but it might return. We need to find a way out."

As they were talking, the two snakes actually came back.

Long Mingyue and her group quickly reunited.

The two snakes stared at them menacingly, but Long Mingyue's situation was not so good.

Both Senior Brother Liu and Jiang Kuan were seriously injured.

The chances of Ji Yun Shen and Long Ming Yue defeating the two spirit snakes on their own are slim.

As for Senior Brother Zhao and Lin Liuyi, just don't drag them down.

Seeing that the two spirit snakes were about to attack again, Lin Liuyi remained silent for a moment, then suddenly took out a flower.

"What do you think about us exchanging this for lotus seeds?"

As soon as this flower appeared, Lin Liu felt as if four lantern eyes were suddenly looking at him.

Startled, she shoved the flowers directly into Long Mingyue's hands.

There was no way around it; being stared at by two huge snakes was a bit creepy.

Sure enough, after she stuffed the flower into the hole, the two snakes immediately turned their attention to Long Mingyue.

"Junior sister, what is this?"

Senior Brother Liu had clearly noticed the two snakes' covetousness.

"Dragon Blood Flower!"

"what!"

"We can't exchange them!" Jiang Kuan was anxious; the dragon blood flower was much more precious than the lotus seeds.

Long Mingyue didn't think so. In the current situation, they were clearly no match for the giant snake, let alone two of them.

If this continues, they will all perish here.

The fact that Lin Liuyi could produce the Dragon Blood Flower shows that she doesn't lack it.

Lin Liuyi certainly didn't lack any; the dragon blood flowers in her space had grown into a large patch.

"Let's swap them. One isn't enough, so I'll give you another one!"

Lin Liuyi quickly gave another one to Long Mingyue.

Now the two spirit snakes' four eyes shone even brighter, and Jiang Kuan went even crazier. This was truly precious!

Ji Yunshen understood Lin Liuyi's meaning at this moment. He walked to Long Mingyue's side to support her and protect her.

Long Mingyue took a deep breath and stepped forward: "Senior Spirit Serpents, we would like to exchange these two Dragon Blood Flowers for the remaining lotus seeds!"

The two snakes' eyes shone even brighter, and they nodded hastily.

Anyway, they can't beat them in a fight. With the Dragon Blood Flower, who needs these lotus seeds? They've been eating them for so many years already.

Long Mingyue carefully stepped forward, placed the Dragon Blood Flower on the ground, and then stepped back.

Upon seeing this, the two spirit snakes stepped forward, picked up the dragon blood flower, and splashed back into the pool.

Lin Liu noticed that their figures seemed somewhat hurried, as if they were afraid the women would regret it.

After the two snakes left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"See? I told you we lost out!" Jiang Kuan regretfully lay on the ground, pounding the ground in frustration.

"Alright, do you think you can beat two snakes? We still have lotus seeds!" Long Mingyue said irritably.

How could she not know she was at a disadvantage? But among their group, who could possibly defeat two snakes?

"It's alright, it's alright. I'll give each of you a plant when we get out!" Lin Liuyi quickly smoothed things over.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I'm so sorry!" Senior Brother Liu said apologetically, while looking at Lin Liuyi expectantly as if asking, "Is this for real?"

"Really, really! We have them all!"

The three of them quickly thanked Lin Liuyi, and even Ji Yunshen couldn't resist the temptation of the Dragon Blood Flower and thanked Lin Liuyi as well.

Long Mingyue felt somewhat helpless about Lin Liuyi's generosity, but thankfully they were all her companions.

In the cultivation world, flaunting wealth like that will get you beaten up.

After treating their wounds, the group began looking for a way out.

Senior Brother Zhao discovered a narrow passage on the other side of the cave, with faint air currents passing through it.

“It should lead to the outside,” he said excitedly. “Look, senior brother, there are carving marks on the rock face; they were probably left by someone before us.”

Ji Yun Shen checked him over and nodded: "Stay close to me."

The passageway winds its way upwards, becoming drier and drier as you walk.

About an hour later, they finally saw the light of day shining through the sky.

As they emerged from the cave, the setting sun bathed them in its golden light.

Lin Liu stretched and suddenly realized that they were on the other side of the cliff in Qianfang Valley, and could see the pool where they had fallen in the distance.

“The Blood Fiend Sect people should have left,” Long Mingyue said after gazing into the distance for a moment.
