937 Time Liquid (2/2)
Mo Fan then gave the liquid to the Little Loach Pendant, yet it could not absorb the liquid at all. It was only swimming around inside the cup.
”Why the hell are you so excited about if you can't absorb it!?” cursed Mo Fan.
He had never seen such a senseless pendant. Did it seriously just want to join the fun after seeing the Essence Orb's reaction?
There was still two-thirds of the liquid left inside the cup, but the Essence Orb could not absorb anymore. Mo Fan had no choice but to put the liquid away. He would worry about what it was and its uses later.
The Essence Orb had absorbed a third of it. It was definitely good news for Mo Fan. If he was able to fill it, he no longer had to worry about paying the debt of using the Demon Element.

Everyone seemed to find something useful in the city. Mo Fan immediately regrouped with the others after he found what he came for.
Jiang Shaoxu found the Li Fan flower she was interested in. She was smiling like a little girl who had found a small stalk of red flower.
Mo Fan had no idea what the others had found, yet looking at the time, they were meant to head back soon. The city was not big, so it was meaningless to stay any longer since there was nothing valuable left.
----
After waiting for Zhao Manyan to replenish his energy, the group left the non-aging city.
The moment they stepped out of the magic aura protecting the city, a pair of yellow eyes suddenly sprang open in the storm above it.
The eyes were staring at the group. The eyes watched the group leave, and slowly closed up as the group left the area protected by the yellow lightning.
Little Flame Belle was lying on Mo Fan's shoulder, and did notice the strange eyes. She waved her arms around, trying to tell Mo Fan she saw a pair of eyes in the sky. However, Mo Fan was not too bothered by it, as he did not see anything when he looked up.

”How's the situation? Are the birds still out there?” Nanyu asked Ai Jiangtu, who was still in the same spot.
”It looks like they're gone,” answered Ai Jiangtu.
”It took you guys long enough; we almost thought you have all been torn into pieces by the storm. Seriously, stop wasting our time,” said Zu Jiming.
”If everyone's here, let's hurry back to the city. It's not safe staying in the wild,” said Mu Tingying timidly.
They still could not believe how relentless the strange birds were. Most members on the team only wanted to go back to the city, just so the team could ask for help when needed!
Everyone started heading back along the same route. The team did not encounter any accidents when they were crossing the canyon, since Lu Yilin was no longer there to fool around.
----
Everyone immediately went to bed after the team returned to Hanmi City. Although they were quite nervous when crossing the canyon, the journey was not too dangerous without Lu Yilin's silly deeds. The team was actually more worried about the strange birds, as no one knew when they would appear and ambush them again.
Mo Fan stayed in his room and started inspecting the unique liquid he had found. However, he was obviously not the expert when it came to identifying rare loot. He was utterly clueless about what it could possibly be. He almost mistook it as mineral water and drank it.
Little Flame Belle was still complaining about the eyes she saw. Mo Fan was quite worried now. If Little Flame Belle actually saw the eyes, he could not help but wonder what the eyes in the storm were from...
Why were the eyes watching them above the ancient city?
”Forget it, it's meaningless to overthink it. Anyway, I've filled up a third of the Essence Orb. it's a great profit for me!” Mo Fan stopped thinking about all the nonsense and went to bed.
A lot of strange things happened, yet they could just mind their own business. Mo Fan was not interested in them at all!

Mo Fan was just about to fall asleep when he received a response from Lingling.
Mo Fan had immediately told Lingling about the liquid when he returned to Hanmi City, hoping that Lingling could tell him its uses. Lingling was pretty efficient too. Mo Fan had only taken a hot shower and closed his eyes for a quick rest before she responded.
”Mo Fan, where did you find it?” asked Lingling.
”In an ancient city inside a storm. It was hidden inside a statue,” said Mo Fan.
”It's Time Liquid! You should be grateful that my grandpa's library has information about it. Unfortunately, it did not mention its uses. It only has a name, and a brief description of its origin. It is refined with some kind of ancient herb; the procedures were extremely complicated, and were lost to the world,” said Lingling.
”Time Liquid? It sounds like it has something to do with time. Speaking of which, the city stood quietly inside the storm, as if time didn't flow in it. Are the two related in any way?” Mo Fan asked.
