Apart from encountering three idiots on the way, she didn't meet anyone else.
Xie Jiuniang went to the Sect entrance to report to the guarding disciples, and then she headed to Crane Garden.
The Little Immortal Crane had not flown back to Miscellaneous Peak and came forward on its own upon seeing Xie Jiuniang, tilting its head and looking at her.
Xie Jiuniang flashed a smile and said, "Little Immortal Crane, how about you take me back to Shihao Mountain?"
"Qui!"
The Immortal Crane let out a clear cry, then bowed its head to nudge Xie Jiuniang's Storage Bag.
Xie Jiuniang understood that it wanted a reward.
She took out a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills, fed one to the Immortal Crane, but it remained still, continuing to stare at her.
Xie Jiuniang said speechlessly, "Little Immortal Crane, I'm just a lowly Qi Cultivator and very poor. You already earned a bottle of Spirit-Gathering Pills from me yesterday, I could hire other Immortal Cranes for a month with a bottle."
