Once a person's body was possessed for a long time, their consciousness and soul would be slowly devoured by the thing that possessed them, and eventually become one with the person.

The western sects called this phenomenon a 'union', and once combined, it would be permanent.

The Qiong Chi had come to the real world with the help of Li Tianli's possession. Eating fire and smoke in the real world could help it cultivate its true body as soon as possible.

Legend has it that when training in the Spirit Serpent, one ultimately is able to train to the True Body level, which is the same as for humans to become immortals.

Furthermore, the Scrawny Monkey had previously mentioned that the tomb found behind the mountains south of Dongkanzi Village was where they obtained the bottle. The strange looking corpse there should be the Qiong Chi that successfully cultivated the real body.

When Li Tianli was in the world inside the bottle, his body was taken over by the Qiong Chi and his appearance slowly changed. Fortunately, he had changed back when he returned, probably because he was saved in time by us.

Furthermore, the dried up corpse of the woman in the ancient tomb should have long ago become one with the woman, so even after death, the Qiong Chi would still maintain its strange appearance.

Moreover, the bottle was stolen from the corpse's hands. Wu Ji speculated that the world inside the bottle was created by the Qiong Chi that cultivated its real body, but he didn't know how it ended up dying.

Earlier, I wasn't very afraid of snakes, and after this incident, not to mention snakes, I didn't even feel comfortable seeing a rope.

In accordance with the old saying, once bitten by a snake, it was always afraid of the rope.

After I woke up, I stayed in the hospital for a day before I was discharged. Afraid that my parents would be worried, I immediately went back to Eldest Aunt's House.

Although Aunt knew that Wu Ji and I were going to help the Scrawny Monkey deal with some matters, she wasn't clear about these dangerous situations. I had an appointment with Wu Ji, so no one is allowed to bring it up when we return.

After tormenting us for a few days, when I returned home and saw that both our arms and legs were full, I didn't think much of it and even smiled while asking where we went to play these past few days.

I responded with a few casual words.

The sky gradually grew colder. Wu Ji and I sat on small stools in the courtyard and could vaguely see the mountain peak to the south. We thought that all of this started from that mountain and smiled at each other with tacit understanding.

After a few days of danger and excitement, I suddenly felt bored. Thinking that it would be very soon for me to return to school, I stood up dejectedly and kicked a rock at my feet.

The stone rolled to the entrance and stopped at a person's feet.

"Aiya, little master, little sister, it's been a few days since we last saw each other!" The person who came was Scrawny Monkey, laughing loudly as he walked over.

Li Tianli followed him in. This is the first time I've seen his normal appearance of not being crazy or stupid, and I feel a little accomplished in my heart. If it wasn't for us, he would still be lying in the mental hospital, arguing about eating raw meat, probably completely occupied by the Qiong Chi.

"Earlier, my brother said that it was two young men who saved me. I didn't believe him at all. Seeing that it was really like this, it really is the appearance of a young hero. I really don't know how to repay your kindness in saving my life." Li Tianli was big and tall, but his speech and actions were steady, not like those of a Scrawny Monkey.

"Brother Li, I didn't lie to you right? Let me tell you, if it wasn't for my little master and sister, and of course my support, you would have already …" Scrawny Monkey snickered.

Li Tianli nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I really want to thank you all properly."

Then I let them into the house, and my aunt went to the other houses in the village to see if anyone was back yet.

"This …" Li Tianli was startled when he saw the censer inside the house.

Scrawny Monkey stuck close to him and said, "My master came from Ma Xian'er."

It was a common occurrence for people from Northeast China to understand Ma Xian`er's identity as soon as they heard her name.

Li Tianli nodded his head: "Oh, no wonder this little sister was so young and yet so capable."

I was too lazy to explain. I just smiled and said, "Seeing that you're fine, Big Brother Li, we can relax."

Li Tianli expressed his gratitude once again, and even took out a savings card from his bosom and handed it over to me. "About this, it's to thank my sister and my brother for the assistance with their lives. The passwords are for the last four cards. "

Previously, Wu Ji could only offer a price of fifty thousand, but two hundred thousand was no small amount in normal circumstances.

However, it's not excessive for us to say that we're going up the mountain of blades and down the sea of flames in order to save him.

I looked at Xiang Wuji, and seeing that he did not object, I generously kept the card in my pocket: "Then I will not decline."

Scrawny Monkey laughed and said that I was a straightforward person.

I said in my heart that after suffering so much this time, even if you give me two hundred thousand dollars, I will still feel at ease!

Afterwards, Li Tianli insisted to treat us to a meal, saying that he wanted to thank us. Although I didn't want to eat this meal, I still wanted to ask him about the bottle. After discussing it with Wu Ji, I agreed.

We immediately got on a car and entered the city, and found a restaurant's private room that Li Tianli was familiar with, and set up a table.

Usually, at home, my auntie ate relatively lightly. Although she didn't eat the whole vegetable dish, she only occasionally ate the Three Purified Meat. Thus, I was used to eating relatively lightly.

Li Tianli was also kind. He ordered a large table full of delicacies, which made me lose my appetite. I just ate the light vegetables in front of me and talked about the bottle with him.

Just like what we estimated previously, Scrawny Monkey told us how precious that bottle was. Although we couldn't tell when it was from the bottle, but the moment Li Tianli saw it, he was attracted by it.

Logically speaking, the quality of the bottle was not considered top quality in the eyes of an item dealer like Li Tianli, but he was somehow attracted by it.

He said that the first time he saw her, it was as if he saw a peerless beauty, and he was extremely fond of her. When he returned home, he placed her on a willow tree stand to recuperate.

Speaking of nourishing yin, Wu Ji who had not spoken up until now snorted lightly.

From the beginning till the end, he had always been this icy towards the Scrawny Monkey, and reckoned that the Scrawny Monkey had also told Li Tianli about his character before, so Li Tianli did not care about it at all.

Li Tianli just smiled awkwardly, saying that he had suffered a loss this time, from today onwards, he would not dare to mess around, he had already taken away the willow tree stand two days ago.

Furthermore, he said that this method of nourishing the Yin was told to him by an expert. Although he didn't believe it before, he still had the thought of trying it out without harming himself.

The Scrawny Monkey spat out, "What kind of shitty master is this? Old Wang that shitty grandson, he's just an old bastard. If it wasn't for him coming up with this idea, how could so much trouble have happened?!"

I don't know which master this old man is, but I think that he is not someone to be trifled with. Otherwise, he would not have told Li Tianli about these perverted methods.

I took a sip of the tea and asked Li Tianli if he would treat the bottle as Wu Ji had instructed it to.

It was originally a casual question, but then Li Tianli's expression froze for a moment. He obviously looked away, not daring to look me in the eye.

From the look of it, I knew something was up.

Wu Ji had obviously already seen this detail. He coldly snorted once more, and said indifferently, "Next time, I won't be so lucky!"

Li Tianli curled his lips, Scrawny Monkey's expression was a little awkward.

"Just what is it that you want to discuss with me?" However, as the saying goes, this time, we have risked half our lives. If something happens again, you all can only pray for yourselves. "

I'm not being polite either, if he were to suffer so much, Li Tianli would not be willing to part with the bottle, and he would only be courting death.

Right after I said that, Scrawny Monkey shook his hands: "No, you're mistaken, you're not an outsider either. We don't hide anything, it's just that someone wanted to collect the bottle at a high price, and he knows that there's something strange about the bottle."

Hearing that, I looked at Xiang Wuji, and saw that his forehead was slightly knitted, and his expression was stern.

"Who is it?" Wu Ji took the initiative to ask.

Li Tianli and did not hide anything, they directly said that he was a person called Zhang Si, this person was an expert. Previously, they would occasionally take a few items from him, but they didn't know what sort of secret he had, so they knew that thieves had money.

"He knew there was something strange, but he still wanted to collect the bottle at a high price. Could he be the one who gave the tomb to the old man?" I asked suspiciously.

Hearing that, Scrawny Monkey rolled his eyes a few times, then suddenly slammed the table: "Fuck, why didn't I think of that before? That brother of mine knew Fourth Elder Zhang from the start! "
