Han Yu opened the door and was stunned.

Li Laodao's gray robe was covered with blood stains, his expression was sluggish, his eye sockets were sunken, and he was even more embarrassed than usual.

"Master Dao, what's wrong with you?"

"I've been robbed by a poor man!" Li Laodao said with an annoyed look, "I just took out three spirit-stealing rats and exchanged them for six kilograms of spirit rice, and someone with bad intentions wants to rob me!"

Han Yu became more and more surprised: "Who would do such a thing? A handyman disciple?"

"That's not true. He is a casual cultivator from Qinghefang City with no sect and two mortals who know martial arts. I bought the prey hunted by mortals before, and they probably noticed it. They felt that I was not powerful. This time they saw that I had spiritual rice, so they wanted to rob it outside of Fang City."

"I had known that there might not be peace in Qinghefang City. I didn't expect that I would be so poor and a poor ghost would come to rob me."

"What bad luck!"

Li Laodao cursed and threw a small cloth bag to Han Yu, which contained four kilograms of spiritual rice.

"Here you go, two spirit-stealing rats and four pounds of spirit rice."

After taking it, Han Yu put the spirit rice aside and asked Mr. Li: "Master Tao, how did you come back? Those three people..."

"Kill them all!"

Li Laodao said murderously.

"They also didn't expect that since I have been in the martial arts world for many years, I also have spells such as blood drops and bloodthirsty."

"It took a lot of effort to kill them, but unfortunately I got nothing except a little earthly gold and silver."

Han Yu thought that it was indeed impossible to get anything valuable - the casual cultivator had no family and no sect, and even wanted to snatch a few kilograms of spiritual rice. Naturally, he was a "poor man" who was extremely poor.

"Then there are no cultivation techniques for casual cultivators?"

"No." Li Laodao said, "We can't carry the inner teachings with us even if we get the jade slips from the sect. Those kind of casual cultivators regard the inner teachings as family heirlooms, so they will definitely hide them deeper."

Then he smacked his lips inexplicably: "What a pity. If it wasn't so close to Qinghefang City -"

Han Yu was shocked when he heard what he said.

Could it be that Master Tao even does this...

Li Laodao also realized that he had made a mistake and used other people's essence and blood to practice. At least he could still interact with Han Yu normally. Once he started using human essence and blood, it would be difficult for the relationship between the two to be harmonious again.

Then he changed the topic: "Has anyone come to our spiritual field today to inquire about the spirit-stealing rats? If there is, nine times out of ten, it is the thief behind the scenes who raises the spirit-stealing rats."
