TFHS: Chapter 78

Suddenly, Han Shu thought of the formation genius, Wu Hai. She thought this name was a bit too ordinary, but only he could quietly lay out formations to confuse people’s perceptions.

She might be running for her life, but she was extremely vigilant about everything around her. This was probably the only formation master in this secret realm who could escape her perception as an alchemist.

Han Shu stopped and waited for a while. She felt happy in her heart when she found that the person behind her wasn’t chasing her.

“Fellow Daoist Wu, Fellow Daoist Wen, did the two of you come to rescue me?”

Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming were hiding not far away, but neither of them wanted to reveal themselves. They didn’t want to lose the cover identities of Lin Ze and Lin Hai so quickly. It wasn’t easy to choose a name.

Bai Qiaomo raised his hand and threw a jade pendant engraved with a concealment formation. Thanks to the help of this jade pendant and Han Shu’s own life-saving trump cards, she should be able to escape more smoothly this time.

Han Shu saw something being thrown towards her and quickly reached out to catch it.

She infused her soul power into it to check and immediately understood the purpose of this jade pendant. Thanks to its help, she was more confident in getting rid of the tracking of the people behind her.

Since there was no sound, Han Shu understood that the other party didn’t want to show up. She didn’t force it. The other party’s help was a great favor to her.

Han Shu thanked her loudly. “No matter who you are, I am very grateful. If you ever need me in the future, feel free to come to Sihong Academy to look for Han Shu.”

There was still no reply. Han Shu squeezed out a drop of blood and smeared it on the jade pendant. After the jade pendant absorbed the blood, she put the jade pendant on her chest.

She looked around again. Then she turned around and ran in the other direction without hesitation.

After Han Shu had escaped far enough, Bai Qiaomo stopped the operation of the formation with a thought from his mind.

The few people in the formation didn’t notice anything was wrong and continued to chase in the original direction.

This would only cause them to get further and further away from Han Shu. Gradually, several people felt that something was wrong. “What trump card did that girl use? Why can’t I sense her aura?”

“It doesn’t matter. That girl definitely won’t be able to escape. No matter how many cards she has, she can’t save her life. Even the contact bead was destroyed. Who can she turn to for help? Who let her come to such a remote place? There aren’t many cultivators here.”

These people were very confident that Han Shu couldn’t escape from their grasp, so they continued to chase her.

After being far away enough, Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming came out of their hiding place. They glanced in both directions before walking back.

Bai Qiaomo took out several formation disks he had laid out. Then he and Feng Ming rushed in a third direction.

Feng Ming sighed emotionally. “Who is so cruel? They even destroyed Han Shu’s contact bead. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Han Shu not to find a helper with her identity.”

Bai Qiaomo said casually, “It is nothing more than a trusted person around her.”

Feng Ming thought of the betrayal that Bai Qiaomo had suffered and no longer talked about it. He shrugged and said, “Don’t talk about her. In any case, she can escape. Let’s find a safe place to spend the night.”

“Okay.” Bai Qiaomo smiled. He no longer cared about these things.

They found a place to spend the night and Bai Qiaomo didn’t forget the desolate beast meat that he had roasted for Feng Ming. Once the two of them had eaten and drank enough, Bai Qiaomo started refining the formation disks.

It was because he found a new material during the day. He had new inspiration for what type of formation he wanted to set up. He decided to wait until the formation was completed before going to the place where the Blood Moon Lotus grew.

The Blood Moon Lotus wouldn’t mature until the night of the full moon. This meant he wasn’t in a hurry.

He said he wanted to take action, but Feng Ming actually couldn’t help much. He just started refining pills nearby.

He knew that the formation level Bai Qiaomo was making at the moment had reached fourth-grade, which put him under pressure. Feng Ming couldn’t lag too far behind. He had to upgrade his alchemy skills to third-grade as soon as possible to shorten the gap with Bai Qiaomo.

They didn’t rest all night, but the two of them were still in high spirits the next day.

Feng Ming looked at his contact bead. There was a mark left by Gong Yuming in it. If anything new happened, this guy would gossip with him.

The night passed but no news came. It could be seen that the incident with Han Shu being hunted yesterday didn’t spread.

Feng Ming didn’t even think about the possibility that Han Shu couldn’t escape. He rushed to the destination with Bai Qiaomo.

If Han Shu couldn’t escape like this, it could only be said that her luck was extremely bad.

Thinking of Han Shu, Feng Ming suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Qiaomo. Of course, he was thinking about Bai Qiaomo’s handsome face.

He belatedly realized that this Han Shu might be one of the pretty women that the male protagonist encountered in the book who fell in love with him, right?

Han Shu’s appearance was indeed good. She was a different style of beauty from Feng Linlang. Han Shu was more of an intellectual beauty.

“What are you looking at?” Bai Qiaomo, who was on his way, noticed that Feng Ming’s eyes suddenly became strange. He felt that what Feng Ming was thinking about must be unusual.

Feng Ming quickly withdrew his gaze. What he was thinking in his mind must not be confessed to Bai Qiaomo. “Hey, I just took a look. I haven’t seen Brother Bai’s handsome face for a while. I miss it.”

Bai Qiaomo knew that he was talking nonsense, not telling the truth, so he joked and cooperated, “Why don’t I show it so you can see enough?”

Feng Ming’s feet paused. He turned back and said in surprise, “Brother Bai, I notice that you have changed. You would never make such a joke before.”

Bai Qiaomo was such a decent person compared to Feng Ming. How could he say such a thing?

Bai Qiaomo’s lips curved up. “I’m obviously asking you seriously.”

Feng Ming held his forehead. “Brother Bai, quickly take it back.”

Bai Qiaomo finally laughed loudly. He realized a little bit of Feng Ming’s mood when teasing Feng Ming. He felt it was really interesting and addictive.

The place they had stayed in for the past two days was in a relatively remote location in the secret realm, but it wasn’t without gains. Bai Qiaomo had been here in his previous life, so he took Feng Ming to harvest what he found in his previous life.

This place wasn’t far from the location of the Blood Moon Lotus. But in his previous life, Bai Qiaomo didn’t know about the existence of the Blood Moon Lotus until the incident broke out.

Half a day later, the two of them came to a swamp area. Not only was the vitality thin, but the air was also filled with a toxic miasma.

The disciples of the families and sects didn’t like to run here. It was because no good opportunities appeared here during the previous openings.

The environment was terrible, and there was nothing to gain. Naturally, few cultivators were willing to come here and suffer.

This also led to the fact that the cultivator who later obtained the Blood Moon Lotus had no backer. Due to the leakage of the news, there was a pursuit and fight. The cultivator died in the first round of the battle.

“Let’s use the second-grade detoxification pill I refined first.” Feng Ming looked at the situation inside and took out two top-grade detoxification pills.

Bai Qiaomo took out a pill and threw it into his mouth. “The effect of this second-grade best-grade pill isn’t necessarily worse than an ordinary third-grade detoxification pill. Let’s go in and be careful. There are all types of dangers hidden under the swamp.”

“Okay.” Feng Ming also swallowed the detoxification pill and followed Bai Qiaomo cautiously.

He didn’t think there was anything shameful about such a move. In terms of experience, eyesight and strength, Bai Qiaomo was many times better than him.

In the next half a day, Feng Ming followed Bai Qiaomo and saw many insect beasts living in the swamp.

Everything else was okay. The most troublesome type of bugs flew together in a dense manner, making people feel numb when seeing it.

The two of them used the third-grade fire phoenix talisman to burn all the large insects. Even the water in the swamp under their feet evaporated. The two of them were finally able to step on solid ground.

After dark, it was more difficult to walk in the swamp. Therefore, the two of them rested in this dry place for the night to recharge their batteries before fighting again tomorrow.

On the second day, the two of them continued deeper into the swamp area where the miasma became even stronger.

Fortunately, the best-grade detoxification pill refined by Feng Ming was indeed very effective. The miasma they inhaled had no impact on them. They could solve one trouble after another with a clear head.

Feng Ming said curiously, “The cultivators in the past were really lucky to be able to walk in and pick the Blood Moon Lotus.”

Bai Qiaomo said meaningfully, “The person who brought the Blood Moon Lotus out of here was one cultivator, but he wasn’t alone when he came in.”

Feng Ming immediately understood. “In other words, the others stayed in this swamp forever?”

Bai Qiaomo nodded. Some might die from the dangers encountered in the swamp, while others might die in the hands of their companions. There was only one Blood Moon Lotus. As a rare medicine in the world, everyone wanted to swallow it alone. This wasn’t impossible.

However, this time Bai Qiaomo was confident that the Blood Moon Lotus would only fall into their hands. So what happened in his previous life wouldn’t happen again. There was no way to know about it.

After walking in the swamp and miasma for another half a day, Feng Ming finally smelled the scent of medicine. He suddenly felt refreshed, and even his physical consumption was swept away. He asked in surprise, “Is this the Blood Moon Lotus?”

“Yes, it is the Blood Moon Lotus. Use the breath concealment talisman. I will set up a large formation around here as soon as possible to hide the aura of the Blood Moon Lotus.”

“Yes.”

Not only did he use the jade pendant, but he also used the fourth-grade breath concealment charm bought by Father Feng. Bai Qiaomo started to set up a formation while Feng Ming protected him. He looked at the Blood Moon Lotus growing in front of him, as well as the swamp where the Blood Moon Lotus grew.

Yes, such a wonderful medicine as the Blood Moon Lotus actually grew in the most filthy swamp.

At first, the scent of the medicine that Feng Ming smelled was mixed with an unpleasant fishy smell. It was nauseating.

As the aroma of medicine drifted over, the fishy smell became lighter.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Feng Ming wouldn’t have dared to imagine that such a healing medicine grew in such a place. The world was so big that there were all types of wonders.

The blood-colored lotus in the center of the swamp was particularly enchanting due to the environment. It seemed to have nothing to do with a healing medicine.

However, the current Blood Moon Lotus wasn’t mature yet. It would have to wait until the night of the full moon to fully bloom after absorbing enough moonlight.

It was only after entering a fully mature state and was harvested that the Blood Moon Lotus could become a healing medicine. The repair of the dantian was just incidental.

There were still two days left until the night of the full moon.
