The Strongest Qi Refiner

"How old is Caicai?" At this time, an old voice asked.

The man was silent for a while, then replied, "Caicai is fifteen years old."

"There are still three years before I can reach adulthood." The old voice said, "I can't wait any longer, hehe..."

After that, there was another ugly laugh.

After a while, a man came out from the door of the hut.

The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, and like the others, he wore clothes woven from leaves.

But Fang Yu found that the man's face was very ugly.

Men naturally couldn't find Fang Yu and Su Changge.

Soon, the man walked away.

Fang Yu frowned.

The conversation I heard just now has a lot of information.

The most critical... is the time of the sacrificial ceremony.

Eight o'clock tomorrow morning.

The timing is exactly right.

Fang Yu glanced at Su Changge and motioned for him to follow.

Then, Fang Yu walked to the hut.

Neither of them made a sound of footsteps.

Standing in front of the door of the hut, looking ahead, one can vaguely see a figure curled up in the bed.

The figure looked small.

"It should be an extremely old woman." Fang Yu thought.

Fang Yu didn't go into the hut, but walked around the hut and walked to the back.

While listening to the conversation between the two people in the house, he found a raised spot on the ground behind the hut.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a door with a pile of thatch on it.

If it wasn't for the door not being closed properly, Fang Yu wouldn't have found it.

This is a door leading to the cellar.

Fang Yu slowly opened the door, and then saw stone steps.

Then, Fang Yu and Su Changge quietly walked down the steps.

As soon as he entered the cellar, Su Changge's expression changed.

A stench of stench hits the face, making people sick.

Su Changge immediately held his breath.

Fang Yu, who was walking in front, frowned.

After descending the steps, all that could be seen in the field of vision were mummified corpses and skeletons, lying here and there in disorder.

Looking further ahead, you can see a pool.

The pool... was filled with bright red blood.

The foul smell emanates from this pool.

And above the pool, there is a dead body hanging.

There was an obvious gash on the neck of the corpse.

The gap, still dripping blood.

This is a man, his eyes are wide open, his face is distorted and full of pain.

"My God..." Su Changge's face turned blue and he was speechless.

To let blood in such a cruel way!

It's like treating livestock!

The blood in this pool is already very large, and the color is even a little black.

At this time, Fang Yu already understood the meaning of the conversation in the hut just now.

The so-called grandma needs to absorb the essence and blood of the human body to improve her cultivation...or increase her lifespan.

This is the usual method of evil cultivators.

According to the tone of the people in the previous group of tribes when they mentioned grandma... This grandma obviously has a very high status in the Dazhao tribe.

An evil cultivator is actually the leader of the tribe?

So...does the rest of the Horde know what she's doing?

The man who talked to her before must know.

As for most people in the tribe... Fang Yu thinks that they probably don't know.

Otherwise, few people would be able to accept such a cruel method.

At this time, Fang Yu thought of the girl named Caicai again.

Does this girl know something too?

"Zi la..."

While thinking, Fang Yu heard a slight sound.

The sound came from inside the cabin.

That grandma is coming out.

Fang Yu thought for a while, then left the cellar with Su Changge, and closed the door.

Not long after the two left the cellar, an old woman with a severely bowed back walked out of the small house and walked towards the cellar.

The old woman's face was extremely old, and the wrinkles on her face almost covered her facial features.

But her squinted eyes were full of coldness.

This look must be cultivated by killing many people.

Fang Yu thought about it, and decided not to do anything to the old woman.

He and Su Changge returned along the same road.

As soon as he walked out of the grove, he saw Caicai walking towards him.

Fang Yu immediately stepped forward and covered Caicai's mouth.

"Woo..." Cai Cai's complexion changed drastically, her eyes were terrified, she wanted to ask for help, but she couldn't make a sound.

There is clearly nothing in front of my eyes, why...

Fang Yu took Caicai, jumped up and left the place.

...

On the branch of a big tree fifty or sixty meters high.

Fang Yu sat on one side of the branch, and Su Changge sat on the other.

With a pale face, Cai Cai sat in the middle.

"Little sister, as long as you answer our questions honestly, we will never do anything to you." Su Changge said with a smile on his face.

Seeing Su Changge's smile, Cai Cai's face turned paler and her delicate body trembled.

"No, don't kill me..." Cai Cai unconsciously moved away from Su Changge, saying in fear.

"Uh..." Su Changge showed embarrassment.

"Tell us the location of the Ancient Sacred Tree." At this time, Fang Yu said.

Caicai turned her head, looked at Fang Yu, shook her head again and again, and said, "I can't let you blaspheme the ancient gods..."

"We just want to go over and take a look," Fang Yu said.

Cai Cai bit her lip, lowered her head, and did not speak.

"Do you know the secret about grandma?" Fang Yu asked, changing the subject.

Cai Cai suddenly raised her head, looking shocked.

"You must have discovered grandma's secret at some point, right? Her cellar..." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask.

Hearing the word cellar, Cai Cai's expression changed drastically.

"I, I, I..." Caicai almost cried with tears in her eyes.

"If you tell me the truth, we may be able to help you." Fang Yu said, "As far as I know, you have been targeted by grandma."

Cai Cai stared at Fang Yu with wide eyes, tears streaming down her face.

...

"I wanted to talk to my grandma, but I found that she was not in the house... Then I went out to find her, and then I found an open hole in the back of the house..." Cai Cai said, her voice trembling, "I'm very curious , I walked down the steps at the entrance of the cave, and before I took two steps... I heard screams from inside."

"I looked around and found a man... also a tourist who accidentally broke into our tribe, was hanging upside down on a pool."

"Grandma cut his throat with a knife, just like killing a chicken..."

Having said that, Cai Cai couldn't continue, her face was pale, and she covered her mouth.

"Do the rest of your tribe know what she's doing?" Fang Yu asked.

"...I don't know." Cai Cai sobbed and said, "We only know that grandma will punish those people, and that person will never be seen again...Grandma said she sent them away, and we all believed her..."

"I see..." Fang Yu nodded, and asked again, "I see you all call her grandma, whose grandma is she?"

"She... is called grandma, and everyone around me has called her that since I was born." Caicai said, "On weekdays, grandma is very kind to everyone, and everyone loves her... She especially loves me... ..."

After Caicai discovered her grandmother's secret, she has been in a state of extreme pain and entanglement.

She really wanted to tell other adults in the tribe about this, but she didn't dare, fearing that something bigger would happen.

Moreover, her grandma had always been very kind to her, so she was even more unable to make up her mind to expose this matter.

"Your grandma is waiting for you to be eighteen, that is, waiting for you to become an adult." Fang Yu said.

"What, what do you mean?" Cai Cai looked at Fang Yu and asked.

"It's just..." Fang Yu looked at Caicai's appearance that he was about to collapse at any time, he didn't say the more blunt words, but changed his words, "She might also want to hurt you."

Caicai lowered her head, twisted her hands together, and did not speak.

"By the way, what happened to your tribe's sacrificial ceremony?" Fang Yu asked.

"Our tribe holds a sacrifice every year..." Cai Cai replied.

"Sacrificing a baby at the same time?" Fang Yu asked with narrowed eyes.

"...Mmm." Cai Cai responded with her head lowered.

"Damn it... this is too cruel, no one in your tribe will resist this kind of practice!?" Su Changge couldn't help cursing.

"The babies who will be sacrificed every year are selected by lottery... Whoever complains will no longer be able to receive the protection of the ancient gods." Cai Cai said in a low voice.
