Facing the expectant gaze of Hongling Earthworm, Fan Ming did not speak, but chose to answer with action.

I saw him walking to a corner of the spiritual field, where there were several stacked huge boxes.

Fan Ming opened them one by one, and they were full of withered spiritual plants.

As soon as the red spirit earthworm saw it, before Fan Ming could react, it climbed to the edge of the box at an extremely fast speed and kept spinning around the box.

Fan Ming saw this and smiled, it really worked... What do you mean by that sentence? xx will never be a slave unless he has food and shelter.

It is worth mentioning that these spiritual plants were not bought by Fan Ming specifically for this purpose, but what was left after he refined the last batch of elixirs, because some spiritual plants cannot be taken in their entirety.

For those who come to make elixirs, some have only valuable petals, some have only valuable fruits, and some have only valuable roots...and these are the remaining worthless parts contained in the box.

Of course, it’s not really worthless, it’s just that it’s not used for elixir making.

In the past, Fan Ming packaged the remaining parts and sold them to people who raised red spirit earthworms. Because the most valuable part was lost, the remaining parts were basically priced at cabbage prices.

But now Fan Ming doesn’t need to sell it, because he has something to digest these spiritual plants.

Fan Ming tore off a leaf and prepared to feed it to the red earthworm in front of him.

However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, a red figure flashed past his eyes.

Fan Ming was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the red earthworm with its back to him, doing crazy chewing movements. He smiled helplessly and thought to himself, this guy hasn't eaten in a long time.

However, Fan Ming is more confident that he can persuade it to stay here.

As for why he didn't force the red spirit earthworm to stay, but used words to persuade him, the reason is also very simple.

He has not mastered the means of placing restrictions underground, so if the red earthworm is determined to escape, he really has no other way, unless it stays in the spirit beast bag... Then it is better to let it go directly.

The red spirit earthworm's combat power is notoriously weak, leaving it in the spirit beast bag is a waste of food.

So Fan Ming can only "negotiate terms" with it. After all, compared with cunning humans, monsters like the red earthworm are still a bit too simple. As long as its conditions are met, it will "voluntarily" stay, and

It’s not that as soon as the front foot promised you, the back foot ran away...

Under Fan Ming's persuasion of "telling people with emotion and moving with reason", the red spirit earthworm stayed as Fan Ming expected, but the red spirit earthworm put forward a condition, that is, the food must be enough! Otherwise, the red spirit earthworm stayed.

...or it will strike!

After confirming that this red spirit earthworm had the attributes of a foodie, Fan Ming naturally agreed.

Fan Ming smiled when he looked at the red earthworm who immediately returned to the ground to help him loosen the soil after eating and drinking.

Now its spiritual plants can grow better.

Thinking of this, Fan Ming turned around and left with relief...

◇◇◇◇◇◇

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the novelty of owning a cave gradually faded away, and Fan Ming returned to the stable and "growing" days of the past.

Just the day before the Alchemy Conference started, Fan Ming went to Elder Bu's cave and wanted to discuss something with Elder Bu.

"Disciple Fan Ming, please see Elder Bu!" Fan Ming greeted himself politely when he arrived at Elder Bu's cave.

Then not long after, a deep voice came from the direction of the cave.

"Come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Ming saw the vast white fog in front of him suddenly rolling and dispersing to both sides until a straight trail appeared.

Fan Ming walked along the path, and after a while, he entered a huge cave.

Fan Ming looked around carefully. Compared with this cave, his newly opened cave was completely insignificant. If Elder Bu's cave was a luxurious villa, his cave was just a shabby thatched house...<

/p>

What shocked him even more was the concentration of spiritual energy here. He didn't even need to use the breathing and breathing method in the exercise. He could feel the full amount of spiritual energy with every normal breath.

In such a spiritual place, ordinary people can probably live longer just by living here.

After feeling a little emotional in his heart, Fan Ming withdrew his attention and then looked at the figure sitting on a high platform.

That was exactly the Elder Bu he was looking for.

Fan Ming made a disciple's salute towards the opposite side of the high platform, and then said respectfully:

"Disciple Fan Ming, I have met Elder Bu!"

Elder Bu probably didn't like "nonsense" either, so a voice came directly into Fan Ming's ears.

"Okay, there's no need to talk nonsense. Boy, why did you come to see me today? Could it be that you regret and want to withdraw from the Alchemy Conference?"

Fan Ming quickly replied: "No! I actually came here today with a merciless invitation."

"Tell me about it!" Elder Bu said in a nonchalant tone.

"Yes!" Fan Ming responded, and then said: "The Alchemy Conference will begin soon, but for some reason the disciple does not want to show his true face, and he still hopes that Elder Bu will make it happen!"

"Oh?" As soon as he said this, Elder Bu, who was sitting on the high platform, suddenly opened his eyes, then looked at Fan Ming below the stage, and said with interest:

"This is the first time I have heard such a request. This Alchemy Conference is the best opportunity for you, the younger generation of alchemists, to become famous. Everyone wants others to remember them, but why don't you want to show your true face to others?

?"

Fan Ming was silent for a while, and just when he opened his mouth to explain, an "uninvited guest" suddenly broke into the cave...

Fan Ming heard her voice before he saw her figure.

"Grandpa! I have to participate in this Alchemy Conference no matter what!"

As the voice with a slightly willful tone fell, a figure in red suddenly appeared in the cave!

Fan Ming is still thinking, who is this woman? Why did she break into Elder Bu's cave like this? Did the formation outside malfunction?

From the other side, Elder Bu's voice came over.

"Wan'er, don't mess around!"

However, the woman in red who broke into the cave didn't seem to care at all about Elder Bu's scolding. Instead, after discovering Fan Ming, she walked straight towards him.

Then he stood in front of Fan Ming, with his hands on his hips and asked a little arrogantly:

"Who are you? You must not be Grandpa's disciple, otherwise I would never have seen you before."

Fan Ming carefully looked at the woman in red in front of him, then he cupped his fists and saluted her, and introduced himself: "Junior brother Fan Ming, I have met my senior sister!"

"Fan Ming?" The woman in red whispered Fan Ming's name, as if she was thinking about something. After a moment, she raised her head and said, "I don't know you... forget it, never mind, why did you come to see grandpa?"

?"

After saying that, she looked at Fan Ming up and down with suspicious eyes.

On the other side, Elder Bu's voice came over again.

"Wan'er, stop fooling around!"

This time the tone was slightly heavier than before.

Hearing this, the woman in red turned around with some dissatisfaction and said to Elder Bu on the high platform:

"I don't care! Who told me that grandpa had promised me to attend the Alchemy Conference, but then he changed his mind!"

On the high platform, Elder Bu said, somewhat dumbfounded:

"I don't remember that I promised you this..."

"Yes!" the woman in red said matter-of-factly: "Two years ago, you said that as long as I could refine the elixir of the three lines, you would take me to the Alchemy Conference!"
p>

After saying that, the woman in red took out a pill from her storage bag without waiting for Elder Bu's reply, then threw it towards Elder Bu and said:

"Grandpa, you don't know how hard I worked after you said these words two years ago! I finally made this three-marked elixir a few days ago, but you said there was no quota!"

As she said that, she showed an extremely aggrieved expression.

Elder Bu glanced at the elixir in his hand, with a certain look in his eyes, but then he still shook his head.

"This matter has been decided for a long time. If you could come ten days and a half earlier, maybe there would still be a place for you..."

"Ten days and a half month..." The woman in red seemed to have caught the key word. She looked up at Elder Bu and asked:

"Grandpa, you haven't told me who took the last spot! It was that bastard who took my spot! Do I know him?!"

Elder Bu shook his head first, then nodded, with a somewhat subtle expression on his face.

Seeing this, the woman in red was a little confused... Is this someone she knows or someone she doesn't know?

So, Hong Yi simply jumped onto the high platform, came to Elder Bu's side, half-knelt down, then grabbed Elder Bu's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, just tell me..."

As she spoke, she raised one hand, made an oath, and continued: "I promise, I will never trouble him (her)!"

Elder Bu glanced at her slightly, then sighed helplessly and said:

"That's all... the person you want to find is far away and right in front of you..."

"Far away in the horizon, yet so close..." Upon hearing these words, the woman in red's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she immediately turned to look at Fan Ming in the audience, and said angrily:

"Wow! It's really you!"

After saying that, she jumped down from the high platform, then came to Fan Ming in a few steps, and said aggressively:
To be continued...
