After passing through the mist, Hua Ruge saw a towering tree. The tree trunk was as thick as a dozen people's embrace, its branches and leaves were luxuriant and emitting a faint glow. Furthermore, the Spirit Qi seemed to be emitted from it.
Hua Ruge carefully examined the tree for a bit and discovered that there wasn't anything unusual about it. Instead, she found a few stalks of spirit medicine around the tree that were a thousand years old.
"These medicines have all become essence." She walked up to the spiritual medicines with a face full of shock.
She was rich this time.
When Tuoba Rui finished recovering, he saw Hua Ruge unceremoniously digging for the spirit herbs, mumbling to himself that he had struck it rich.
He sized up the big tree and frowned slightly. "That's not right."
"What's wrong?" What's wrong? Hua Ruge was currently immersed in joy, and was no longer thinking about home and rest.
"This tree is just an ordinary tree, it's impossible for it to emit spiritual energy." As Tuoba Rui spoke, he looked around and said, "There must be something else."
"Call me if you find anything good." Hua Ruge said without even raising his head as he carefully placed the spirit medicine inside the crystal box with both of his hands.
Fortunately, she had stored quite a few of these boxes. Otherwise, they might not be enough to use this time.
Hua Ruge, who felt that he had earned a lot, laughed until his mouth could not close.
On the other side, Tuoba Rui was still there. There was only a tree and a mountain behind the misty area, and when he flew to the top of the mountain, he realized that he had already reached the end of the dimension.
Hua Ruge happily put away the spirit medicines, and then took out a few large cloth bags and placed them under the tree's bags of soil.
This was the best spiritual soil in the world, and it would be the most suitable for cultivating spiritual medicines in the future.
When she placed the dirt back into the space, she raised her head and saw Tuoba Rui looking at her in mid air, looking to be in deep thought.
"What's wrong?" Hua Ruge asked as he poked his shoulder.
"There's a cave up there. There's a barrier blocking the entrance." Tuoba Rui said.
Hua Ruge reacted for a moment, then said: "Only humans can lay down a barrier, could it be that this Blessed Paradise is man-made, and its master sealed something before she left?"
"I'm not sure." Tuoba Rui was not sure about this conclusion.
"Let's go in and take a look. We'll be rich once we find some treasures." Hua Ruge said.
Tuoba Rui didn't know if there was any great danger inside, so he looked at her.
"Don't say that you have to enter alone. You have to bring me along. I can just stay behind you, right?" Hua Ruge did not give him a chance to speak.
Since things had come to this point, Tuoba Rui could only agree.
The two of them flew in mid air, while Tuoba Rui waved his hand to break the barrier, and the two of them entered.
When the duo saw what was inside, they realized that it was more like a passageway than a cave. There was only a narrow and winding path inside.
Hua Ruge wanted to use her mind consciousness to investigate the cave, but she discovered that there was something inside the cave. Her mind consciousness could not even go past a few inches, it was not as far as her eyes.
"It is indeed a little strange." She spoke as she walked.
Tuoba Rui walked in front and protected Hua Ruge who was at the back with his hands, ready to fight at any time.
The two of them realised that the cave was winding downwards and the cave was very moist. After walking for a while, Hua Ruge felt that his clothes were sticking to his body, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
After about a quarter of an hour, the scene before them finally became clear. What entered their eyes was a large cave. Not only was it spacious, but there were flames everywhere, allowing them to see what was inside with a single glance.
However, it was good that he did not look, but after seeing it, he gave Hua Ruge a shock, because there was no treasure in the cave other than the old man who was nailed to the stone wall.0
This old man wore a grey robe, and his hands and feet were pierced by thick nails. His grey hair covered half of his face, making him look somewhat terrifying.
Just as the two of them got close to each other, they could feel an extremely heavy baleful aura emanating from this person's body. Clearly, not only was he not dead, his strength was still there.
"It's been a thousand years. Someone finally came." The old man opened his greyish eyes and laughed out loud when he saw the two of them.
Hua Ruge swallowed his saliva and said: "This junior has entered this Blessed Paradise to gather medicinal herbs and accidentally barged into my cave dwelling, senior, please forgive me."
"Girl, do you think this looks like my cave abode?" The old man asked as he stared at Hua Ruge with his gray eyes.
Hua Ruge shook his head.
"I was trapped here by that old man from Black Mountain. It took me a thousand years to recover some strength and open up this space to lure all of you in." The old man seemed to not have said anything for a long time.
"Then, junior, is there anything that I can help you with?" Hua Ruge asked again.
"You can't." The old man said as his gaze landed on Tuoba Rui, "He can."
When he looked at Tuoba Rui, he did not conceal the greed in his eyes that frightened Hua Ruge.
This person was definitely not a good person.
"Kid, are you willing to help me?" The old man asked Tuoba Rui.
Tuoba Rui's attitude was not that courteous anymore. He looked at the old man and asked, "How can I help?"
"My body has been sealed for a thousand years. I've been crippled since long ago. Now, if I want to leave, I can only borrow another person's body, and yours is just perfect." The old man explained in detail.
Both Tuoba Rui and Hua Ruge's pupils shrank. Was he trying to possess a body?
"Of course I don't want to." Tuoba Rui pulled Hua Ruge's hand and said: "Let's go."
"You want to leave?" The old man let out two weird syllables, and then the two felt a force of resistance from behind them, sucking them back.
Hua Ruge was dragged to the side of the stone wall by the old man. His hands and feet were tied to the stone wall by the red light, unable to move at all.
The old man said: "Since you two have entered, you will not be able to escape from my grasp. Kid, you only have two choices now, either to possess your own body for me or I will possess this girl."
The old man looked at Hua Ruge as he said this and laughed oddly, "Actually, this girl's physique is even better. If you don't cooperate with me, it's no big deal for me to be a woman."
"Old thing, you are courting death." Tuoba Rui shouted coldly, if it was against him previously, he could have just left, but now, he was against Hua Ruge, which aroused his killing intent.
The old man was surprised for a moment, but then he laughed strangely, "Little kid, you don't even have the strength to fight back. What can you do to me?"
"Old man, I advise you to let us go. Let the next one who falls for be the real one. We can't even think about getting him." After being shocked and frightened, Hua Ruge had also calmed down now.
