Chapter 52 The Stone That Staged an Accident
She was absolutely not happy to see him again!
Gao Huohuo looked at the newcomer without any attempt to hide his true feelings and asked:
"Fellow Daoist, this secret realm has been ravaged by the heavens and earth, was it your doing?"
The alchemist opposite him scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I guess so."
"Eighth Senior Brother, the culprit you're looking for is right here. Don't wrong me next time."
Upon hearing this, Lou Chongxiao circled around Dan Xiu several times.
"Tsk, you really can't judge a book by its cover! You're just a pill cultivator, yet you're more troublesome than my junior sister. I admire you."
After saying that, he bowed to Dan Xiu in a serious manner, then turned around and bowed to Gao Huohuo.
"Junior Sister, I'm so sorry, I wronged you just now."
"My name is Yu Siyuan, a pill cultivator from the Bihua Sect."
Bihua Sect? Isn't that a righteous second-tier sect? Why would they need to come to this secret realm for training?
“This is a second-rate sect, Gao Huohuo, and this is my senior brother Lou Chongxiao.”
"Fellow Daoist Yu, you are a righteous disciple, aren't you afraid of the two heretical cultivators?"
Yu Siyuan smiled slightly and said casually:
"What are you afraid of? You heretical cultivators all have one head, two arms, and two legs, don't you?"
"What Fellow Daoist Yu said makes sense. As expected of a disciple of the Bihua Sect, your ideological awareness is indeed high."
"May I ask what Fellow Daoist Yu was doing here just now? How do we get out now?"
"It's a long story, let me tell you. I started from the Bihua Sect..."
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo quickly interrupted him, "Fellow Daoist Yu, you've gone a bit too far. Let's start from when we parted ways."
Yu Siyuan gave an awkward laugh and said, "Sorry, we've gone off on a tangent."
After separating from the two, Yu Siyuan kept searching for the spiritual herb that Gao Huohuo had mentioned.
Since he had not conducted a complete study, Yu Siyuan was searching around entirely based on his memory.
It further emphasizes what Gao Huohuo mentioned earlier about the presence of water, rocks, and places where animals live.
To their surprise, after searching for a long time and finding several treasures, they still couldn't find the spiritual herb that Gao Huohuo had.
Yu Siyuan felt that he hadn't gone far enough in, so he went a little further in.
As a result, they didn't find any medicinal herbs to break the curse, but they did encounter several groups of demonic beasts.
Fortunately, he possessed many magical treasures, which helped him escape danger time and time again.
Until the last time he was chased by a monster and ran around, he hid here.
Then he couldn't get out. After wandering around for a while, he saw a very beautiful stone.
Since he was already there and couldn't get out anyway, he took the stone down to examine it.
As soon as they took it down, something happened in the secret realm, and they couldn't put it back.
He had tried countless times before they fell, but all his attempts failed.
After listening to his story, Gao Huohuo had only one thought: this guy really does research anything he can get his hands on.
There aren't many people like this who maintain a curious mindset about everything; they just tend to be a bit mischievous.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, where is that stone? Take it out and let us see it."
Yu Siyuan handed her a stone and said, "Be careful, don't fall."
"Paji."
All three of them looked completely bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, if you don't want to leave, just say so. There's no need for this staged accident scam."
Yu Siyuan looked at the two of them with a wronged expression.
"Would you believe me if I said the stone fell to the ground by itself?"
Gao Huohuo and Lou Chongxiao both looked at each other with expressions that said, "Do you think I'm stupid?" and shook their heads at the same time.
Yu Siyuan wondered what was going on with this stone. Why did he feel like everything was going wrong ever since he entered this secret realm?
Fortunately, the stone was quite sturdy, and although it fell to the ground, it was not damaged, which put everyone at ease.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, please put it on the ground slowly this time, I will pick it up myself."
Yu Siyuan was also afraid that the stone might cause trouble again, so he slowly put the stone down and moved it three zhang away from it.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, why are you standing so far away?"
"I'm afraid it will continue to try to scam me."
Gao Huohuo's face showed an expression that said, "You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense, do you think I believe you?"
The next second, the stone that Lou Chongxiao had just picked up suddenly fell to the ground.
This startled both Gao Huohuo and Lou Chongxiao.
What the heck? Has this stone come to life? It's even trying to scam people by staging accidents?
"Junior sister, did you see that just now? It fell down by itself."
"I saw it, this stone really is a scammer."
Upon hearing this, Yu Siyuan walked over, his face showing an expression that said, "See, I told you so."
"Junior sister, why don't you give it a try?"
Gao Huohuo nodded. Now it was up to her. The earth was collapsing and cracking outside. The sooner they put the stones back in their place, the sooner they could settle down.
This time she dared not be careless. She carefully picked up the stone, wrapped it with her spiritual power, and held it tightly.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, quickly, take me to the place where this stone is placed."
Yu Siyuan dared not be careless and quickly led the way.
They arrived at the destination in no time, and Yu Siyuan gestured to Gao Huohuo to put it on and try it out.
With a serious expression, Gao Huohuo walked up to them, taking slow and deliberate steps.
Holding the stone in both hands, with a very tense expression, he slowly placed it back in its original position.
This time the stone didn't fall, as if it was meant to stay there, steady and secure.
Now the three of them breathed a sigh of relief; the secret realm should be safe now.
"Junior Sister, the secret realm is ready, but how do we get out?"
"Let's look around, there should be an exit here."
After saying that, Gao Huohuo was the first to walk out, but after only a few steps, he heard another splatter sound.
The three of them turned around at the same time, and the stone fell again.
Gao Huohuo quickly ran over, picked up the stone, and put it back in its original place.
I stood there quietly for a while and found nothing unusual before leaving.
Unfortunately, after walking only a few steps, the stone fell again with a "thud".
"What's going on? Is this rock playing a trick on us?"
Gao Huohuo said impatiently, "Unfortunately, no one can answer this question."
“Fellow Daoist Gao, I have a feeling that this stone has become attached to you ever since you took it, and it seems like it can’t be too far away from you.”
"What? This rock is clinging to Junior Sister?"
Lou Chongxiao looked Gao Huohuo up and down again, puzzled. What made his junior sister different from them?
Does this stone prefer women? Or perhaps the youngest?
Isn't this the kind of scumbag my junior sister always talks about? He always likes girls who are eighteen years old.
Now he's even getting involved with his junior sister. The more I look at him, the more he seems like a scumbag!
Thinking of this, Lou Chongxiao rushed to the stone, wanting to pick it up and study it carefully.
But the stone didn't give him the chance at all; as soon as he picked it up, it fell from his hand again.
“Fellow Daoist Gao, since this stone likes you, you stay here and think of a way while your senior brother and I find an exit.”
Gao Huohuo could only nod resignedly. He had been tricked by Shi Tou. What could he do when Shi Tou was so persistent?
I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'm looking for a useful method online.
