Chapter 1396 The Legendary Python

"As the saying goes, benefits and risks coexist. I want to take that 70%, but I have to have the ability to do it."

After hearing this, the woman became furious. If Taoist Master Daoxuan hadn't stopped her, she would have probably taken action.

"Fairy Feng, please calm down. I think what you said makes sense." Taoist Master Daoxuan explained, "In this secret realm, you and I are both looking for an opportunity. What do those material possessions mean to us?"

"But he asked for too much. We can't let him get away with it so easily!" Fairy Feng glared at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun didn't care. He smiled, bowed to Fairy Feng, and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Fairy Feng snorted coldly: "Well, 70% is 70%, it's up to you!"

After saying that, she pushed the herbs into Lu Yun's hands.

Lu Yun didn't say much to him. He landed on the ground and immediately took out the Xuantian Furnace.

Although refining the fifth-grade elixir is a bit troublesome, he doesn't have to worry too much with the help of the spirit of the weapon.

An hour later, the pill was ready.

There are ten Reshaping Pills in total, three of which are given to Fairy Feng.

"Boy, we have a long way to go, just wait and see! Humph!" Fairy Feng turned and left.

"I'm leaving now. A group of old friends are waiting for me." Taoist Master Daoxuan was also about to leave.

"Senior, wait a moment."

Lu Yun stopped him.

Then, he handed over two Reshaping Pills.

"What are you doing..." Taoist Master Daoxuan was puzzled.

"Please accept it, senior." Lu Yun said softly, "Senior, please introduce business to me. I don't want you to work in vain."

"This...how is this so embarrassing?"

Taoist Master Daoxuan said this, but he took the pill handed to him by Lu Yun.

Lu Yun bowed again to express his gratitude.

"Senior, if there is such a good thing, just bring the person here. When the pill is done, I will give you 20%."

"Hahahaha! You are a sensible boy. I like you. Goodbye."

After seeing off Taoist Master Daoxuan, Lu Yun's face was filled with worry again.

If the Dragon Soul Grass cannot be found, no matter how many pills are needed, they will be useless. Looking at the five Reshaping Pills in his hand and then at the Dragon Cannon, Lu Yun could not help but sigh.

At this moment, a roar of a ferocious beast was heard from the distant sky. The roar seemed to come from the ancient times, which made Lu Yun's soul tremble.

"What's wrong?" Long Ying asked.

"What a terrifying aura!" Lu Yun said seriously, "I want to go over and take a look. I have a feeling that the Dragon Soul Grass will soon appear."

"it is good!"

The two men carried the dragon cannon and traveled quickly. It only took them half an hour to arrive behind a group of monks.

Not far in front of everyone, there stood a tall statue.

This statue is a fairy. From the expression of the statue, we can see that the woman depicted in the statue is looking at a high mountain not far away.

At the foot of the mountain, there are several broken steps.

All the monks were sitting cross-legged under the statue, their eyes closed, as if they were in meditation.

Lu Yun looked at the statue and didn't find anything special.

Another roar of a ferocious beast woke up the monks.

"Don't be distracted, this may be our last chance!" The leading monk comforted everyone.

Lu Yun didn't understand what was going on and just watched these monks, totally not understanding what they were doing.

Long Dapao walked past each monk with a mischievous smile on his face, and wanted to reach out and touch each monk.

"No!"

Long Ying hurriedly pulled him back.

"Fairy, they are so fun. Look at them, they are all in a trance."

Long Dapao pointed at everyone and spoke like a child.

"Out of body experience?"

It was only then that Lu Yun realized that the monk sitting in front of the statue had really lost his soul, just as Long Dapao had said, leaving only his physical body.

Lu Yun was curious. These people were all here to try their luck, so why did they need to leave their bodies? Could it be that there was something wrong with this statue?

So he asked Long Ying to protect him, and he also wanted to leave his body and enter the statue to take a look.

However, his decision was opposed by Long Ying.

"We are here to look for the Dragon Soul Grass. There is no need to put ourselves in danger."

"You are right, but aren't you curious? Why do they want to leave their bodies?" Lu Yun asked back.

Long Ying frowned and looked up at the statue.

"There was once a legend in the underworld about a pair of Taoist lovers who loved each other very much. They stayed away from the world and practiced together in a paradise, never caring about worldly affairs."

"Until one day, the two of them had reached the peak of what the underworld could cultivate, and they stopped advancing."

"But this doesn't matter to them at all. In their opinion, whether or not they can ascend to the upper realm is not something they must do."

"However, endless years passed, and the two were about to die. They were not afraid of death, but they just didn't want to be separated from each other."

"So, the male cultivator planned to look for new opportunities to break through his own shackles and soar into the sky to ascend to the upper realm. In this way, the two of them could continue to stay together."

"The female cultivator supported the male cultivator's decision without hesitation. Although she knew that the male cultivator would never find a way to break through, she still chose to agree with his approach."

"Just like that, the male cultivator left the female cultivator. He traveled all over the underworld, to every corner of the underworld, just to find a chance for a breakthrough."

"However, many years passed, and the female cultivator's lifespan was exhausted. In the end, she could not wait for the male cultivator to return. So, she used the last of her cultivation to shape herself into a statue before she died. She stood at the entrance of the cave and waited for the male cultivator to return."

Having said that, Long Ying couldn't help but slowly lowered his head, and then looked at Long Dapao who was in a daze beside him.

Lu Yun was moved by this story, just like the legend of the Husband-Waiting Stone he had heard in the underworld.

"You mean, this statue was built to commemorate that female cultivator?" Lu Yun asked.

"I'm not sure, but..."

"Boom!"

There was a loud thunder in the air.

The ground suddenly began to shake.

The monks who were sitting cross-legged on the ground stood up one after another and looked towards the high mountains not far away.

Smoke and dust suddenly rose from the mottled stone steps.

"That male cultivator is back!"

I don't know who shouted.

Lu Yun looked in the direction they were heading and saw a giant python flying towards him from a distance.

"That male cultivator is a giant python? It's so fucking big!" Lu Yun widened his eyes.

"No! Legend has it that the man raised a spiritual beast, maybe it was this giant python." Long Ying explained.

The giant python stood halfway up the mountain, raised its head high, spit out its tongue, and looked down at the monks below.

The monks were seen kneeling down and kowtowing to the giant python, paying homage to it continuously.

"What do they mean? Why are they bowing to it?" Lu Yun was puzzled.

The giant python moved to the stairs, then looked at everyone and turned around to climb up the stairs.
