Chapter 111 Offering Pills

Lu Xiuyuan stammered, "I didn't expect you to come so quickly." His voice was filled with a hint of astonishment and panic that was difficult to conceal. Obviously, the appearance of the man in green had disrupted his plan. He stared at the man in green who suddenly appeared in front of him with wide eyes, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

The man in green stood opposite Lu Xiuyuan, with his hands behind his back, standing tall like a pine tree. He had a conceited smile on his face, as if he had expected Lu Xiuyuan's surprise and panic. He said calmly, "It's just a small sandworm, why should I go to so much trouble? But you two are really abominable. You deserted the battlefield with bad intentions, and you are simply seeking death."

The green-clothed man's words were full of disdain and ridicule, as if he was very disdainful of Lu Xiuyuan's behavior. His eyes swept over Lu Xiuyuan, as if he wanted to see through him. Lu Xiuyuan felt scared by his gaze and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

However, the man in green did not stop there. He suddenly slapped Lu Xiuyuan with a fierce palm wind, carrying a strong force. Lu Xiuyuan could not dodge in time and could only watch the palm coming towards him. He was terrified, but at this time, he was powerless to save the situation.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Lu Xiuyuan's body was hit by the palm power of the man in green, and he was knocked out and fell on the sand in the distance. He felt a sharp pain, as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. He struggled to stand up, but found that his strength seemed to have been drained and he couldn't move at all.

The man in green looked at Lu Xiuyuan coldly, as if he was looking at a dead man. He said calmly: "This is your fate. Deserters will not be tolerated." After that, he turned and left, leaving Lu Xiuyuan lying on the sand, groaning in pain.

Lu Xiuyuan's heart was filled with despair and regret. He hated his own incompetence and cowardice. He knew that he had really failed this time, and it was a very tragic failure.

When Wen Lingyue saw Lu Xiuyuan being knocked away by the man in green, she was shocked and uneasy. She originally thought that she and Lu Xiuyuan could deal with any danger in the desert together, but at this moment, she found out how naive and ridiculous her idea was.

The strength of the man in green was so strong that it was far beyond her imagination. She couldn't help but start to doubt whether she could really escape from this desert and find the legendary treasure.

However, Wen Lingyue was not someone who gave up easily. She knew that sitting and waiting for death would only put her in a more dangerous situation. So, she quickly adjusted her mindset, mobilized all her spiritual energy, and prepared to attack the man in green.

She moved, and rushed towards the man in green like a flash of lightning. Her hands condensed powerful spiritual energy, forming a dazzling light, and she attacked the man in green fiercely.

Seeing this, the man in green sneered and said, "Interesting." His tone was full of disdain and contempt, as if Wen Lingyue's attack was just child's play to him.

He raised his palm easily, and a powerful force burst out from his palm, instantly defeating Wen Lingyue's attack. At the same time, his other palm also blasted towards Wen Lingyue.

Wen Lingyue only had time to let out a cry of surprise before she was hit by the palm power of the man in green. She felt as if her body was hit hard by a huge force, and her whole body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

She fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if all the bones in her body were about to fall apart. She struggled to stand up, but found that her strength seemed to have been drained away, and she couldn't move at all.

The man in green looked at Wen Lingyue indifferently, as if he was looking at a dead person. There was no mercy or sympathy in his eyes, only endless indifference and cruelty.

Wen Lingyue lay on the ground, despair and anger in her heart surging like a tide. She roared: "Kill me, I don't want to go out, and I don't want to live." Her voice was filled with endless grief and despair, as if she had lost all hope in life.

The man in green raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he was a little surprised by Wen Lingyue's reaction. He said calmly: "Kill you? That's too easy. But I won't do that. I will let you slowly despair here until you give up your life."

Wen Lingyue listened to the words of the man in green, and her despair deepened. She knew that the man in green was telling the truth. In this desert, the two of them were as small as ants and could not compete with the man in green at all.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Xiuyuan quickly reached out to stop Wen Lingyue who was about to rush towards the man in green. He held her hand tightly, motioning her to calm down, and then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I have a way."

When Wen Lingyue heard Lu Xiuyuan's words, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she asked eagerly, "Really?" Her voice revealed endless expectation and desire.

Lu Xiuyuan nodded slightly and said in a firm tone: "Don't say anything for now, just watch me." There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, as if he had already made up his mind.

Although Wen Lingyue still had doubts in her heart, seeing Lu Xiuyuan so confident, she couldn't help but nodded and decided to trust him for the time being.

Lu Xiuyuan turned to face the man in green, a respectful smile on his face, and said: "Senior, you are so powerful, even stronger than a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. I admire you very much."

When the man in green heard Lu Xiuyuan's compliment, he laughed and said, "You have good vision, my kindness to you is not in vain." His voice revealed complacency and pride.

Lu Xiuyuan took the opportunity to say: "Senior, I know what you want, it's not Tianxin Grass, but Foundation Building Pill."

When the man in green heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a surprised expression appeared on his face. He asked sternly: "How do you know? Do you know the inside story?"

Lu Xiuyuan's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface. He smiled and said, "Senior, although my strength is low, I have been traveling for many years and have heard some rumors. It is said that deep here, there is an ancient relic with a foundation-building pill hidden inside. I believe you are here for this, right?"

When the man in green heard Lu Xiuyuan's words, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by greed. He stared at Lu Xiuyuan and asked in a deep voice: "Boy, how much do you know? If you dare to lie to me, I will make you die without a burial place!"

Seeing that the man in green had gradually let down his guard, Lu Xiuyuan took the opportunity to reveal more information to completely eliminate his doubts. He took a deep breath, with a sincere expression on his face, and said to the man in green: "Senior, you don't actually need to go to that ruins, because the foundation-building pills in the ruins are gone."

The green-clothed man's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. He stared at Lu Xiuyuan and asked anxiously, "Ah, why is it gone? Did someone else get there first?"

Lu Xiuyuan nodded slightly and continued, "Yes, Senior. We actually came here for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but when we arrived at the ruins, we found that the Foundation Establishment Pill had been taken away."

When the man in green heard this, he could not help but feel disappointed and angry. He stared at Lu Xiuyuan, as if trying to see something from his face. However, Lu Xiuyuan's expression remained sincere and frank, so the man in green could not see any flaws.

"Where's the elixir?"

"The elixir is right here." Lu Xiuyuan took out an ancient and exquisite little box, put the box in his hand and handed it over.
