The fear of cultivating immortals comes from insufficient firepower

Walking forward, we soon arrived at the entrance of a stone tower.

The disciple on guard saw an outsider approaching and hurriedly asked, "Sir, please stop. What are you doing in the Dan Tower?"

Li Xiaofan scanned with his spiritual sense and found that both of them were in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

It seems that the guarding of this Dan Tower is much stricter than that of Shuiji Mountain. Even the gatekeepers are Jindan realm cultivators.

Subconsciously revealing a smile, Li Xiaofan bowed and said, "Hello, both of you. I am the new person sent by Shuiji Mountain to deliver the rootless spiritual water."

"This is my first time here. Are we sending you to the Danta?"

When the two of them heard this, they understood.

But Li Xiaofan discovered that after these two people heard that he was from Shuiji Mountain, they looked at him with a hint of hostility.

Even the tone of his voice became very impolite.

"Humph, Danta is not a place you can enter. Take out your ID card and let me see it."

After checking Li Xiaofan's ID card, one of them threw it back to Li Xiaofan.

"Just wait here, don't run around. I'll go in and report, and someone will come out to take over."

Li Xiaofan did not get angry with the other party. After nodding, he waited outside.

Not long after, a white-haired old man walked out quickly.

After seeing Li Xiaofan, he said directly: "You are the new water deliveryman, where are the things?"

Li Xiaofan used his spiritual sense to sense it and found that the old man was actually a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator.

Not daring to delay, he quickly handed the storage bag to the other party.

The old man took the storage bag and looked at it, but his brows immediately frowned.

Then he looked up at Li Xiaofan and said angrily, "Why is there only this much? Did you hide it?"

Li Xiaofan was confused after hearing what he heard and didn't know why the old man said that.

It was his first time delivering water and he hadn’t even opened the storage bag.

"This elder is joking. The rootless spiritual water here was given by the manager of the Lakeside Building. I don't even know how much spiritual water there is, so how can I keep it for myself?"

Hearing this, the old man still snorted coldly.

"Humph, who knows whether what you said is true or false, but I tell you, this amount of spiritual water is not enough."

"Don't you know from Shuiji Mountain that whether it's refining pills or forging, Huoji Mountain needs a lot of rootless spiritual water."

"You only give us a little each time, what can we use to make the elixir?"

Seeing that the old guy's tone sounded like he was lecturing a child, Li Xiaofan narrowed his eyes slightly.

However, thinking that he had a mission here, Li Xiaofan tried his best not to conflict with the old man no matter what he said.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Oh, please forgive me, Elder. This is my first time delivering water, so I don't know the details."

"But please rest assured that I will explain to the steward the situation that Huoji Mountain's spiritual water is insufficient."

"I hope I can bring more spiritual water next time."

Li Xiaofan thought that since he had said so, the old man would not be aggressive anymore.

But what no one expected was that the old guy was so stubborn that he didn't care what Li Xiaofan said at all.

His tone was still filled with anger as he said, "I don't care. Anyway, this amount of spiritual water is not enough."

"How about this, you go back now and bring me another copy of the same one."

After hearing this, Li Xiaofan finally understood why Li Han and the others assigned Huoji Mountain to him.

It was obvious that this old guy was not deliberately making things difficult for people.

That is, there is some conflict between Huoji Mountain and Shuiji Mountain that they are unaware of, and people on both sides dislike each other.

After realizing this, Li Xiaofan didn't want to get entangled with the other party any more.

I was planning to just say something perfunctorily and then find an excuse to leave.

But before he could open his mouth, he heard an anxious voice behind him.

"Oh, Elder Yanhui, I wonder if you have finished refining something for Master Jiao. Master Jiao is still waiting to use it?"

Hearing this voice, Li Xiaofan subconsciously looked back.

Then a tall and thin man with a gleam in his eyes fell from the sky.

After using his spiritual sense to sense the person coming, he discovered that he was a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

However, there was a hint of arrogance in the cunning light in his eyes, and even when facing the Nascent Soul Elder in front of him, he did not show much respect.

That’s not all, when I saw this person.

The white-haired old man who was obviously at the Nascent Soul stage, Elder Yan Hui, actually gave the other party a fawning smile and even took a few quick steps to greet him.

"Hahaha, it turns out that it's Butler Yanhuo who's here."

"Please rest assured, I have already refined what Master Jiao wants."

As he spoke, Elder Yanhui waved his sleeves and threw a storage bag to the other party.

After the steward Yan Huo came over and took it, he quickly took out a pink pill from it and looked at it.

After discovering that it was still crystal clear, he smiled and said, "Well, not bad, Elder Yanhui has worked hard."

"I will report this to Master Jiao and give you credit for your contribution."

After saying this, the man flew up and slowly flew towards a higher place on Huoji Mountain.

Seeing this, Li Xiaofan turned his eyes and turned to bow to Elder Yanhui.

"Elder, I will go back and ask the steward, and I hope to send you more spiritual water. Goodbye."

After saying this, Li Xiaofan turned around and left without waiting for the old man to answer.

Seeing this, Elder Yanhui glared at Li Xiaofan's back, then snorted coldly and returned to the Dan Tower.

On this side, Li Xiaofan did not return to Shuiji Mountain. Instead, he quickened his pace and flew towards the steward Yanhuo.

He had heard the other party talking about Master Jiao before, and Li Xiaofan felt that they were most likely talking about Yan Huajiao.

And even if he is not, just by hearing the other party's address as the chief steward, you can tell that this person must know a lot of things.

Soon, Li Xiaofan came to a place not far from the other party and started shouting directly.

"Sir in front, please stay for a while."

Hearing someone calling him, Yan Huo quickly turned around, and kept looking at Li Xiaofan with a pair of shifty eyes.

Then he said in an unhappy tone: "Who are you? What do you want to do by calling me?"

In just a short period of time, Li Xiaofan had already made a judgment about this person.

The other party should be the manager of some important person, but his talent in cultivation is not that good.

The reason why he is respected by some elders is probably because he has served that important person for many years.

People like this have a problem, which is that they attach great importance to face and are definitely very greedy.

So when Li Xiaofan came in front of the other person, he bowed and saluted with a smile on his face.

"Sir, I heard you mention Master Jiao just now. Are you talking about the famous Master Yanhua Jiao?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huo’s brows immediately frowned.

"What does it have to do with you? Why are you asking about my young master for no reason? Do you have any intentions?"

The words were eerie, clearly with a hint of caution.

However, Li Xiaofan was not angry at all. Instead, he waved his hand, took out a storage bag and quickly handed it to the other party.

Then he clasped his fists again and said, "My Lord, please do not misunderstand me. I have just entered the sacred mountain for a short time and I have heard of the name of Master Yan Huajiao."

"I was planning to find an opportunity to visit you, but I didn't expect to meet you by chance today."

"I wonder if I can spare you a moment. Don't worry, I will definitely show my respect to you."

What Li Xiaofan said was very pleasing to the ear. Yan Huo then probed his spiritual sense into the storage bag to see how much tribute was inside.

As a result, the next moment, a pair of thief's eyes burst into golden light...
