What if I Say No?

"Stop talking nonsense. You destroyed the mountain of elixirs I have collected for many years. You deserve to be killed!" The Taoist priest in blue robe was furious, his eyes full of murderous intent. "If you don't compensate me for the elixirs today, I will take your lives!"

Xia Tian said nonchalantly: "These pills are useless. If they are destroyed, they are destroyed. What's the big deal?"

"This is simply outrageous!" The Taoist priest in blue robe was so angry that he swung the sword in his hand again. Like a white python coming out of a cave, the sword instantly extended thirty or forty meters and slashed towards Xia Tian and Ning Ruirui.

Xia Tian hugged Ning Ruirui and dodged again, moving fifty meters away.

"Master, please don't do anything yet. We can discuss anything." Ning Ruirui hurriedly shouted to the Taoist priest, "We didn't know that you had collected it with great effort, and we thought it was an ownerless medicine mountain, so..."

"So what? Bullshit! The heights of all the pill mountains here are the same, only mine is the highest. How can you be wrong?" The blue-robed Taoist pointed at Xia Tian and Ning Ruirui, "Either you stay and be my slaves until the pills are collected to their original height, or you just die."

"I won't choose either of these. I'll just kill you." Xia Tian glared at the Taoist priest in dissatisfaction. "Those rubbish pills are useless. Only idiots like you like to collect them."

The blue-robed Taoist sneered and pointed at Xia Tian: "Very good, in a hundred years, you are the first person who dares to speak to me like this, kid, tell me your name."

Ning Ruirui found this scene magical. Xia Tian actually called others crazy. Don’t you know that you are also a crazy person in the eyes of ordinary people?

"My men never kill nameless people." The blue-robed Taoist took back his sword. "This is the Flowing Cloud Iron Blade that I spent six decades and tens of thousands of sword balls to forge. If you die under this sword, your name will go down in history."

"You are such a boring idiot." Xia Tian yawned lazily, "It's a pity that this knife looks powerful, but it's actually useless."

The cold and arrogant expression on the blue-robed Taoist's face froze instantly, and murderous intent filled his eyes again: "What a big tone! Then I'll let you try the sharpness of my Liuyun Iron Blade, ha!"

As soon as the shouting stopped, the blade of the sword was seen to be like flowing water, continuously leaking out from the handle. Within a few seconds, a large pool of white fluid like water accumulated on the ground.

"It's a bit disgusting." Ning Ruirui frowned as she looked at the situation. "But be careful, that knife is weird, sometimes long and sometimes short. It's really hard to defend against. Don't get hurt."

Xia Tian waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry, little long-legged girl, nothing can hurt me. Besides, why not just kill this idiot Taoist priest? Who cares if his knife is weird or not?"

Well, this is Xia Tian's usual fighting style. Ning Ruirui did not persuade him any more, but quietly retreated to a distance to avoid being affected by the battle and to avoid distracting Xia Tian.

"Clouds rise, thorns kill!"

The Taoist priest in blue robe was like a character in a martial arts novel. He directly shouted out his own moves, then raised the hilt of his sword. With a "swoosh" sound, the pool of white liquid on the ground instantly turned into a straight blade and stabbed towards Xia Tian.

Xia Tian stood there without moving, staring at the Taoist priest in blue robe without blinking.

The forty-meter-long blade wrapped around Xia Tian like a long snake, then quickly contracted and twisted it violently, strangling Xia Tian to death.

"Hahahaha, you're so boastful, you thought you were a big shot, but you can't even take one of my moves." The blue-robed Taoist sighed, shook his head, and turned to look at Ning Ruirui, "You're the only one left. Do you plan to stay and be my slave, or be torn to pieces like him?"

Ning Ruirui crossed her arms and said calmly, "Master, didn't you notice that your move just now missed?"

"Missed?" The blue-robed Taoist was startled, then shook his head: "It's impossible. My Flowing Cloud Iron Blade can never miss, and no one can escape its pursuit, unless..."

Here, he suddenly stopped talking, because Xia Tian had appeared before him, and then -

Bang!

The Taoist priest in blue robe was kicked away by Xia Tian and fell heavily against the tree. The so-called Liuyun Iron Blade also fell to the ground.

"Ah, my knife, you are not allowed to take my knife!" The blue-robed Taoist priest stood up and rolled over to the knife handle, holding it firmly under his body. "This is the hard work of my life, no one of you can take it away."

Ning Ruirui also discovered that this Taoist priest in blue robe seemed to be just an ordinary person. He was neither a cultivator nor had any martial arts skills. His only weapon was probably the knife.

Xia Tian said lazily: "I'm not interested in your broken knife."

"Really?" The blue-robed Taoist priest was skeptical of Xia Tian's words, "You are not playing hard to get, are you?"

"We really have no interest in your sword." Ning Ruirui looked at the blue-robed Taoist priest solemnly, "We didn't destroy your Danshan just now on purpose. It was purely a misunderstanding."

"Forget it." The blue-robed Taoist priest held the knife and said in despair, "I lost in the end. Except for this knife, you can take whatever you want. I won't go against you anymore."

Ning Ruirui asked in confusion: "Master, did you misunderstand something? We are really just passing by."

"No need to pretend." The blue-robed Taoist priest slowly stood up, his expression not without sadness and solemnity, "Don't you just want the treasures that I have collected over the past hundred years? They are all hidden under Dan Mountain. Now that the road has been opened, will you not take the things there?"

"Little long-legged girl, don't pay attention to him. He has a mental problem." Xia Tian was too lazy to pay attention to the Taoist priest. He returned to Ning Ruirui and put his hand on her waist quite naturally.

Ning Ruirui felt sympathy for the blue-robed Taoist priest who had suffered such an unexpected disaster. Although Xia Tian's act was unintentional, he did destroy the mountain of elixirs that the priest had collected for over a hundred years.

"Can I ask, what exactly do you want to do by collecting so many pills?" Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

The blue-robed Taoist priest replied, "Of course, it is to extract the spiritual energy from it and refine a peerless divine pill. After taking it, you will directly ascend to become an immortal and leave this damn place."

"Idiot, you're dreaming." Xia Tian said with disdain, "There is no such elixir in this world, and besides me, there is no other way to instantly improve someone else's cultivation."

The Taoist priest in blue robe obviously didn't believe what Xia Tian said, but when he thought about the mountain of elixirs he had worked so hard to collect was gone, he was too lazy to say anything.

"Master, he is a miracle doctor. He will definitely not say anything nonsense about elixirs." Ning Ruirui defended Xia Tian, ​​"Instead of wasting so much time collecting elixirs, why not try other methods?"

The blue-robed Taoist priest said with a little displeasure: "What do you know? I am a disciple of the Dan Yao Sect. Refining the Ascension Pill is a secret method passed down from generation to generation in our sect. It can't be fake."

Ning Ruirui knew that it was useless to persuade her any further, so she just asked one more question: "Did you misunderstand that we were someone else just now?"

"Yes. There is a group of people nearby who have been coveting the treasures that the old Taoist has collected over the past hundred years, and often use various means to come and test them." The blue-robed Taoist frowned with a headache, "Well, since I met you today, I will give those things to you."

"That's not necessary." Ning Ruirui waved her hand to refuse, "You should keep it for yourself."

"I may not be able to keep you, and I don't want to guard you anymore." The blue-robed Taoist shook his head. "I can see that you two are real immortal cultivators and are very capable. If you don't want them, can you keep them for me? If you can get out one day, can you help me send them to the Anxin Temple in Zhongnan Mountain?"

Ning Ruirui didn't agree directly, but just smiled and said: "How can you be sure that we can get out?"

"I'm not sure if you can get out, but I can't get out anymore." The blue-robed Taoist sighed and bowed deeply to Xia Tian and Ning Ruirui, "Please help me with this."

Ning Ruirui was confused and didn't dare to agree easily: "What do you mean?"

"Because he won't live for a few more days." Xia Tian said casually.

The Taoist priest in blue robe looked at Xia Tian in surprise and said, "It seems that this young gentleman is indeed a miracle doctor. I don't have much time left. I had planned to make one last effort these days. If I can refine the legendary ascension pill, then everything will be fine. If not, then I can only..."

"Aren't there a lot of life-extending pills here?" Ning Ruirui thought of Yuan Wenyan and the others she had met before. They seemed to have lived quite a long life as well.

The blue-robed Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said, "I was trapped here a hundred years ago. The elixirs here can indeed prolong life, but they also have limitations. That is, their effectiveness decreases year by year. After a hundred years, they will be completely useless."

Ning Ruirui could probably understand the blue-robed Taoist's rage just now. It was understandable that he suddenly had murderous intent when the thing he regarded as his life-saving straw was destroyed.

"So, can you help me fulfill my last wish?" The blue-robed Taoist priest bowed solemnly to Ning Ruirui and Xia Tian, ​​"I beg you."

Ning Ruirui couldn't bear to see others begging for help, let alone an old Taoist priest who was about to die, so she nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you very much." The blue-robed Taoist bowed deeply again, then trotted away, took out a blue cloth package, and handed it to Ning Ruirui carefully: "If you want it, then consider it as a gift from me. If you don't want it, then help me send it to Anxin Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, saying that the unworthy disciple Ge Gengfeng is ashamed of the teachings of the master."

Ning Ruirui took the package and answered seriously: "I will definitely bring it there."

"Okay. You can go now." The blue-robed Taoist took a deep breath, straightened up, and stroked the handle of his knife. "Originally, I wanted to give you this knife, but unfortunately I couldn't bear to give it away. I want to keep it as my only burial object. Please forgive me."

"Aren't you finished talking nonsense?" Xia Tian said impatiently, "You can keep the broken knife if you want. If you give it to us, you can just throw it away."

The blue-robed Taoist priest bowed and said, "I haven't asked for the names of the two benefactors yet, so that I can bless you a little bit in the afterlife, which is considered as a small way of repaying your kindness."

"My name is Ning Ruirui, and his name is Xia Tian." Ning Ruirui gave the names directly, "Forget about repaying a favor, we really destroyed your last hope before."

"It's better to break the unattainable hope." The blue-robed Taoist shook his head with emotion, "I can also leave without any worries. Please go ahead, I won't see you off."

Ning Ruirui bowed to the blue-robed Taoist priest, then turned around and slowly left with Xia Tian.

After walking for about an hour, even the ruined medicine mountain had disappeared from sight. Several figures rushed out from various places, blocking the way of Xia Tian and Ning Ruirui.

"Don't leave in such a hurry, both of you." Standing in the middle of the road was a woman in a green dress with long hair that reached down to her waist. She said with a smile, "Leave the things you got from the old Taoist priest behind for now."

Ning Ruirui asked coldly: "What if I say no?"

"That's easier." The woman in the green dress said to the others, "Kill the man and take the things away."
