Chapter 66 Mengde: My bull is huge! [New book, please read!]
The sect's flying boat returning to Spirit Beast Mountain seemed to be moving even faster... Meng De was notified that he had arrived at the sect after only a few days of rest.
During this time, Yunxi remained unconscious. It was unknown what kind of pill Han Li fed her, but it made Yunxi's vital signs relatively stable. After examining her, Master Leiyun also said there was no problem.
However, Master Lei Yun also made it clear that for someone like Yun Xi, whose dantian has been severely damaged, the path to immortality is over.
At Spirit Beast Mountain, on Golden Cloud Peak, Acting Peak Master Qing Li personally led Yunxi and Mengde back. He gave the unconscious Yunxi a liquid containing a rich life force and a ginkgo fruit before turning to look at Mengde, who had been silently following behind him.
Meng De's image appeared deep within Qing Li's captivating wine-red eyes. After a long silence, she finally parted her lips slightly and said, "Let's go outside to talk."
After saying that, Qingli led Mengde back to the Golden Ginkgo Spirit Tree on Golden Cloud Peak. It was nighttime, and the silvery moonlight shone through the golden leaves, making the entire spirit tree shimmer with a faint golden light.
Meng De glanced silently at the slender figure silhouetted against the moonlight, exhaled a breath of stale air, and presented the white fox jade pendant from his sleeve with both hands: "This is what Senior Sister Yunxi asked me to give you..."
"Xiaoyun is a very good child..." Qingli raised her hand slightly, and the white fox jade pendant flew into her hand automatically. She scanned it with her divine sense and found that there was a seven-leaf Yin Blood Fungus and a Dragon Blood Spirit Rice inside.
Meng De had already moved the spiritual herbs he had hidden in the white fox jade pendant, and left behind a dragon blood spiritual rice.
Dragon Blood Spirit Rice has the effect of tempering the body. Meng De only brought back three plants from the Blood Forbidden Land. He kept one for himself, Han Li needed one, and gave the remaining one to Yunxi and Qingli.
"I once said that I could try to break through on my own... but the Ancestor did not allow it." Under the golden ginkgo spirit tree, Qing Li looked at the white fox jade pendant in her hand that shimmered with extraordinary light under the moonlight, and a ripple of memories stirred in her beautiful red eyes.
"So, do you think this is right?" The beautiful figure under the moonlight turned around, her wine-red eyes looking at the silent human youth behind her, her expression neither sad nor happy.
"..." After a brief silence, Meng De bowed and cupped his hands, saying, "If we can ensure that Master's Golden Core remains intact, then everything will be worthwhile."
If the death of a Qi Refining Peak cultivator can be exchanged for the unimpeded Golden Core formation of a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, perhaps... it should be worthwhile.
"But..." Meng De couldn't help but add, "Ultimately, it's because I'm too weak to directly assist my senior sister."
Mengde wasn't unwilling to act sooner, but... his strength was too weak. He couldn't defeat anyone head-on, and the swarm attack had a delay, allowing the enemy to escape... If it weren't for the special enclosed environment of the Crimson Forbidden Land, Mengde's current role would likely be even weaker.
"..." Qing Li remained silent, her red eyes fixed on the human youth before her. After a long while, she finally spoke in a calm tone: "The Spirit Beast Mountain is going to be cleansed. Everyone who has had contact with the Source Blood Demon Worm will be replaced. You'd better not leave Qingling Peak for the next month."
A reshuffle is about to take place within Spirit Beast Mountain. Everyone who has come into contact with the Source Blood Demon Worm will be eliminated... Spirit Beast Mountain cultivators without a background will either be transferred out of Yue Kingdom or disappear on their own.
Logically, Mengde should also be eliminated, but because Mengde has the mark of the Fox Hill Taoist lineage behind him, it was Qingli's judgment that ultimately determined Mengde's future.
"Disciple will remember Master's teachings," Mengde said, bowing.
When Yunxi agreed to let him deliver the white fox jade pendant, Mengde realized that Qingli would protect him.
"One month later, take this token to the Scripture Pavilion behind the Black Bee Palace and choose a high-level secret technique. This is what you deserve." Qing Li tossed a token carved with the Nine Netherworld Bee to Meng De and continued, "If you can successfully establish your foundation, I will officially appoint you as the eldest disciple of Qingling Peak and pass on a high-level cultivation technique to you."
"Thank you, Master!" Meng De thanked him again, then received a few bottles of cultivation pills from Qing Li, and returned to Blackwater Manor under the escort of the level two demon beast Xiong Jun.
Upon returning to Blackwater Manor, Meng De discovered that the number of Source Blood Mosquitoes had decreased significantly. Furthermore, a swarm of approximately one hundred Level 1 Netherworld Bees was swarming in the dense forest not far from the manor, continuously slaughtering any Source Blood Mosquitoes appearing in the vicinity...
Meng De immediately understood that he had been away from Blackwater Manor for a while, and the Source Blood Mosquitoes here were a bit out of control. So Qing Li left behind a group of Nine Netherworld Bees to control the population of Source Blood Mosquitoes.
The scattered swarms of Bloodborne Insects, whose numbers hadn't yet expanded, were no match for this small group of Nine Netherworld Bees, no matter how many waves they came in... Of course, the most important reason was that Meng De had taken a large number of Spirit-level Flying Mosquitoes with him before leaving, causing their reproductive capacity to be unable to withstand the kills of this small group of Nine Netherworld Bees...
Therefore, when Mengde looked at the small group of Nine Netherworld Bees in front of his door, he was actually a little bit moved.
Although Master Qingli always seemed so cold and unapproachable, he truly provided Mengde with cultivation resources and protection.
"But to be fair, we really should breed a hunter to limit the number of insect swarms." When Meng De saw Qing Li using the Nine Nether Bees to suppress the number of the Blackwater Manor's Blood Insect swarms, a brand new idea sprouted in his mind.
Upon returning to Blackwater Village, Mengde first checked whether any of the dormant spirit insect seeds in the insect chamber were missing, and then went to the backyard to check on the old green ox.
Seeing the old blue ox still slowly grazing in the backyard, Meng De felt a sense of peace. He took out some less precious spiritual herbs from his storage bag and fed them to the old blue ox himself.
!!!
When the old green ox ate the spiritual herb, its eyes widened like copper bells. It subconsciously looked at Mengde, and seeing that Mengde did not stop it, it slowly began to enjoy the tender and juicy spiritual herb.
Click...click...click...
In the backyard of Blackwater Manor, the old blue ox leisurely ate the delicious herbs, while Mengde leaned against the fence, resting his chin on his hand, watching the ox eat grass with a calm gaze. Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the noisy wind in the distant forest seemed to become exceptionally quiet and peaceful.
At least for this moment, watching Niu Niu's mukbang performance, Meng De could feel a unique sense of peace.
Watching this scene from the distant hillside, Qingli frowned slightly and spoke softly to Yunxi, whose face was pale and bloodless:
"I told you no one would touch him. You see, this guy even has the leisure to feed his old ox."
"Cough... Sister Qingli..." Yunxi smiled weakly and shook her head gently.
"This person...has a strange personality...sometimes distant, sometimes close..."
"I believe... this lucky guy will definitely be able to help you, sister..."
