Senior sister, I'm going to control you.

Chapter 33 An Unexpected Surprise

Han Laomo suddenly stretched out his hand; it was a very thin hand with distinct knuckles.

This hand had touched Han Sheng's face, pinched his chin, and now rested on his head.

My fingertips ran through his white hair, touching his dark red horns.

The movements were slow, as if they were handling a piece of material that had been waiting for a very long time to be delivered.

"Good boy, you didn't disappoint me."

"You're not only smart and brave, but also lucky."

"I, Han, have always been fair in rewarding and punishing."

The toad's heart is an essential ingredient in many elixirs; a first-grade toad's heart is worth one hundred spirit stones, and a second-grade toad's heart is worth one thousand.

"You've managed to get it, which shows your skill; all my teaching wasn't in vain."

talking.

Han Laomo then took out a white porcelain bottle made of jade from his storage bag.

She chuckled softly:

"This calming pill, of the highest quality, can help you temporarily resist the erosion of your self-awareness. It is effective for three days."

Here are four Blood Spirit Grasses and one hundred low-grade spirit stones as a reward for you.

Zhang Xuan stood at the entrance of the cave.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

He recognized the porcelain bottle; it was a first-grade calming pill, crafted by Blood Cauldron Peak, and extremely effective against evil cultivators.

Its value is no less than 100 low-grade spirit stones.

Clear distinction between rewards and punishments?

Master always acts solely based on his mood.

When he's in a good mood, he'll kill people; when he's in a bad mood, he'll massacre an entire

Reward?

That simply doesn't exist; Li Tianran is the first one.

At this time.

Old Man Han raised his hand again and touched the corner of Li Tianran's forehead.

Her fingertips slowly slid down the lines at the base of the horn to the tip.

"My dear child, you've suffered these past few years."

Li Tianran felt a wave of nausea.

She was the one who dragged him up the mountain, and she was also the one who said he had been wronged.

They're still so twisted and perverse, treating him as a substitute for their son...

"I'm not wronged. I'm very happy to be able to do my best for my master," Li Tianran said against his will.

"I like your obedience."

Old Demon Han smiled, his face wrinkled and terrifying.

She withdrew her hand.

He suddenly turned to look at Zhang Xuan, his tone calm but unquestionable.

"You are not allowed to lay a hand on Li Tianran again."

He is my disciple, and you are my disciple too.

You are fellow disciples, which means you are brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters cannot scheme against each other, do you understand?

Zhang Xuan's Adam's apple bobbed.

"Disciple understands."

"Go back and rest. Come find me tonight, and I'll guide you through the basics of making puppets."

Upon hearing this...

Li Tianran breathed a sigh of relief.

Every minute I spent with Han Laomo was torture, like dancing on a knife's edge.

The group left the cave.

He gripped the jade bottle tightly in his hand.

The calming pill can temporarily resist the erosion of consciousness, and its effect lasts for three days, just enough to get through the next breakthrough.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or if she had planned it all along.

He actually knew he was about to break through?

This is true control!

They know him inside and out.

Instead of using chains, he was made to walk on his own and discover that every path led to her stone platform.

Li Tianran touched the storage bag at his waist, which contained seven level-one toad hearts.

When we get back, I'll throw it into the Immortal Imprisonment Basin first.

Upgrading from level one to level two costs 1,000 spirit stones per stone, so ten stones would cost 10,000.

After returning to the woodshed.

Li Tianran closed the door.

The seven first-grade toad hearts in the storage bag were still beating slightly.

He was just about to pull out the Immortal Imprisoning Basin to see if he could upgrade his rank when the door was pushed open from the outside.

The wooden stick didn't reach the top; I forgot to bolt it when I came in.

Zhao Ling stood at the door, dressed in black with a cinched waist, tall and slender, clutching a bronze plaque in her hand.

She didn't go inside; she just threw the bronze medal over.

Li Tianran caught the token and saw that the front of the token was engraved with the three characters "Blood Burial Plain" and the back was the cave dwelling number.

It felt slightly cool to the touch; it was made of high-quality black iron, even heavier than the jade slip given to it by Old Demon Han.

"Master told me to give this to you, so you won't have to live in the woodshed anymore."

The cave is right next to mine. You can move there now, and I'll help you with your things.

Zhao Ling leaned against the door frame, her arms crossed over her chest, a gesture that made her clothes very tight.

Li Tianran looked down at the token in his hand, then looked up at the dilapidated woodshed.

Somewhat surprised.

He was just thinking about renting a cave dwelling.

Having your own private space allows you to do more things.

The next second, my wish came true.

It really is a bit like a dream.

He was silent for a while.

I surveyed the place where I had lived for three years.

There was a pile of dry grass in the corner, half a bowl of elixir on the stove, and the door frame was loose; it fell over when he pushed it with a wooden stick.

There were still indentations on the bed board where Shen Qing had slept the night before.

He tucked the token into his pocket.

"This lousy place needs to be moved."

Zhao Ling glanced around the room.

The Taoist robe hanging on the stove, dry grass, wooden basin, and bamboo pole did not belong to Li Tianran, but to Shen Qing.

She withdrew her gaze, her tone as indifferent as if she were talking about the grass in the spirit field.

"Shen Qing is a prisoner of war and can only live in the woodshed."

Li Tianran did not respond.

But having one more person living in this woodshed, and having someone to share the work in the spirit field, is fine for the time being.

Zhao Ling continued with the main topic.

"Your master has asked you to go down the mountain to capture a group of blood slaves. The spirit fields will be handed over to them for irrigation, so you won't need to go to the fields yourself anymore."

From now on, I will focus my time and energy on cultivation and assist my master in crafting Foundation Establishment puppets.

As for Su Yingxue, you can explain it to your master yourself.

Li Tianran hung the curved knife at his waist.

He had been prepared for Su Yingxue's matter for a long time, but she still came in the end.

Zhao Ling's words were merely a confirmation for him.

but.

Whether Han Laomo believes his explanation, and whether she will investigate, is a big question.

This needs to be considered carefully over a long period of time.

He nodded and began packing his things.

Spirit stones, blood spirit herbs, calming pills, toad hearts, and the Immortal Imprisoning Basin—all the possessions accumulated over three years.

I stuffed everything into the storage bag. There weren't many items in total; even the hay on the bed board wasn't worth taking.

"Let's go."

Zhao Ling turned and walked out, taking large strides.

The way her hips swayed was exceptionally clear in the gray fog.

She wore a black dress cinched at the waist, which accentuated her full figure.

Such a figure, such a full silhouette.

Which man wouldn't take a second look and imagine a scene of galloping horses?

Zhao Ling walked in front.

The two walked through the spirit fields and through the gray mist without saying a word.

Li Tianran's gaze swept past her back and landed on the gray mist halfway up the mountain in the distance.

Next to Zhao Ling Cave, a newly opened stone gate has appeared.

Fifteen minutes later.

Zhao Ling pushed open the door.

"Su Yingxue's former cave dwelling has been empty since she disappeared, and I'm giving it to you."

Inside there's a stone bed, a stone table, and a spirit-gathering array. Tidy up yourself; I have other things to do.

She turned and took a few steps, then stopped, without looking back, her voice a beat softer than before.

"If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."

Li Tianran entered the cave.

The stone door closed behind us. The cave was small and dimly lit.

The spiritual energy in the air was thicker than outside, and several glowing spirit stones were embedded in the walls, emitting a faint halo.

He took out the items from the storage bag one by one and placed them on the stone table.

Curved sword, Blood Spirit Grass, Tranquilizing Pill, Spirit Stone, Immortal Imprisoning Basin.

Finally, there was the cave dwelling token.

He turned the token over; the back was engraved with the cave's number.

After living in the woodshed for three years, this is the first time I've had my own stone door.

The cave was very quiet.

He pulled out the Immortal Imprisoning Basin and put the seven first-grade toad hearts into it one by one.

The fairy water rippled slightly, and the dark green heart sank to the bottom of the basin.

Experience in soaking Blood Spirit Grass in Immortal Water.

Upgrading takes time, and it also requires Su Yingxue to emerge from the water.

But what he has no shortage of now is patience.

As for Zhao Ling next door?

Beneath her tight black clothes, he still had his level-three blood slave talisman affixed.

He can enter her cave whenever he needs to.

In her cave, or in a basin, you can play with her and manipulate her as you please.
