After hurrying back to the Misty Spring Ocean, Tang Xiu chose to retreat in seclusion directly. But instead of immersing himself in cultivation, he spent his time refining Five-colored Toadstools into poison pills.
The work occupied him for an entire month. When Tang Xiu took the 10 Myriad Poison Pills and came out of Repose Cliff, he saw Gu Xiaoxue sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff while playing with two Immortal Crystals. Her face, however, looked thin and pale.
"Xiaoxue!"
Tang Xiu walked and smilingly asked, "Looks like you have something weighing in your mind, yes?"
Gu Xiaoxue floated up and intimately grabbed Tang Xiu's hand and forced a smile. "We're broke. We have no money left, Grand Master. I think we'll only be able to support military expenses for two more months at most."
