Chapter 106: The Legendary Genius Young Master vs. the White Lotus Outer Sect Sister (20)
Gu Shengyin and Zhao Ximing were the first ones to take action.
The system was confident, saying, "Host, don't be anxious. Under the same conditions, you have a higher probability of finding the treasure than anyone else. It is not unreasonable to say that the protagonist is favored by the laws of the world."
The fact is, as the system said, the others are still worrying about whether the lava fire had emerged, Zhao Ximing had already followed Gu Shengyin to the location of the fire-eye lava.
Zhao Ximing said happily, "It is rumored that this flaming eye ooze is extremely difficult to find. It usually takes ten and a half days to find it. I didn't expect us to be so lucky on this trip, finding this thing on the first day."
Gu Shengyin could only maintain a smile.
Zhao Ximing carefully took out a palm-sized white jade bottle.
Gu Shengyin could tell at a glance that this was made of cold jade. It seemed that Zhao Ximing had made a lot of preparations for this fiery eye.
The pool full of flaming eye ooze was completely contained by this small bottle, which was no more than an inch away.
Zhao Ximing carefully put the bottle away, hesitated for a moment, and said to Gu Shengyin, "Senior, this flaming eye ooze."
Gu Shengyin had already interrupted him, saying, "I can't use this flaming eye ooze. You can keep it. Just leave it at that."
Zhao Ximing felt a little ashamed. He originally planned to talk to Gu Shengyin to see if she could give it to him. After all, a single Fire Eye Ooze could only be used by one person, and he needed this thing very much.
Unexpectedly, the original idea was to give it to him.
Gu Shengyin could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his appearance. She said, "I came here just to see the legendary scenery of Qifeng Valley. Meeting the Fire Eye Ooze was merely a coincidence. You don't have to feel guilty."
Zhao Ximing, upon seeing seeing this, didn't say anything further and only gave a solemn salute to Gu Shengyin, expressing his gratitude, "I would like to my esteemed great uncle Taishi for your immense kindness. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will do my best to repay you."
Gu Shengyin did not confirm the truth of this promise, but Zhao Ximing held it close to his heart.
"While everyone is searching for the Fire Eye Ooze, let's make a swift exit from here. It has only been a day, and no one will believe that we have obtained something." Gu Shengyin said.
Zhao Ximing nodded.
Sure enough, when the two of them reached the exit of Qifeng Valley, they encountered the Xitian Pavilion forces stationed there. It seemed that they had long harbored the idea of robbing it by force, even if they didn't find the Fire Eye Ooze.
"Junior sister, I don't know why Master sent a message so urgently, asking us to return."
"Yes, I finally waited for the Flame Ooze to come out, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't even start looking for it."
The guard at the door noticed two people in a rush. It appeared that they were indeed in an emergency, and since the Fire-Eye Ooze had just appeared, they couldn't be found so quickly, so they were permitted to leave without any further questioning.
Gu Shengyin breathed a sigh of relief. If she were to leave forcefully, despite her lack of fear in fighting, it would unavoidably prolong the situation. If he attracted the attention of the sword master, it would not be so easy to escape.
"I'm going back to the sect for seclusion. I don't know about the Grand Master."
Gu Shengyin nodded, indicating that she'll go because her task had been completed. "I'm also going to return to the sect."
They wasted no time. Almost as soon as they returned to the sect, they heard about the reward order issued by the cabinet from Xi Tian.
Whoever can cure the poisoned person will honored and revered with worship in the Xitian Pavilion.
Gu Shengyin understood in her heart that Bai Xinya had failed to escape the original plot.
