Super Multiplier
Qin Yi looked at the Taotie, which only had a round head and a fierce face, and imagined it wearing a pink dress and a flower. He couldn't help but laugh so hard he rolled around.
The gluttonous beast remained completely oblivious. "How was it?"
Qin Yi laughed out loud, "Dog, just because you're wearing women's clothes, I'm supposed to give you the Other Shore Flower? Are you stupid or am I stupid?"
Taotie roared in fury, "I am Taotie!"
"Fine, fine." Qin Yi raised his hands in surrender. "Just tell me, I would rather destroy it than give you something a malevolent spirit like you needs. Forget about it."
Taotie was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Although we both suffered heavy losses, you know that this is not my true ability, not even a drop in the ocean."
Qin Yi could only nod. He was joking; a truly perfect Taotie was at the peak of the Formless Realm, and based on their unique characteristics, they weren't necessarily inferior to Taiqing in some ways.
How could it be in such a sorry state?
Taotie said, "How about this? As long as you give me the Other Shore Flower to eat, I will give you a true path to immortality."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes. "No."
Taotie said very seriously, "I am not lying to you. Although I am not Taiqing, I am immortal."
"No," Qin Yi said. "The path to immortality for evil spirits is absolutely contrary to my principles. I don't want it."
Taotie was taken aback. Zuo Qingtian outside remained expressionless, while Xi Yue smiled slightly.
Taotie then said, "Then I will give you a Taotie Soul Crystal. You can use it to absorb anyone's energy and convert it for your own use, and you can even acquire their abilities. This is a priceless treasure."
Qin Yi shook his head. "No."
"So... since you ask about male and female, it's clear you're fond of women," Taotie said. "As long as I have enough power, I can capture any woman you want, whether she's in heaven or on earth."
Qin Yi shook his head. "If I wanted a girl, wouldn't I be able to pursue her myself? What a loser."
In fact, I'm already struggling to cope. Are you trying to kill me, you dog? Do you understand my pain?
Taotie looked closely at Qin Yi, his heart filled with shock.
It is the embodiment of greed. As long as the other party shows even the slightest sign of greed, it cannot hide it. It can even devour the other party's soul or turn them into a servant based on that greed.
That's Divine Ability resonance, the kind you can't escape.
But this man's rejections were all genuine.
I don't want the most precious things, I don't want the most valuable treasures, I don't want women.
Is he really not greedy at all?
Is this Huiyang? Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd already been imprisoned by the Qing Dynasty!
No, he must want something, but he just can't find out right now.
Just as Taotie was momentarily distracted, a strange light flashed in Qin Yi's eyes.
Then, the body that seemed to have collapsed and been unable to move suddenly sprang up and crashed heavily into the Taotie.
The Taotie was caught off guard and was caught red-handed.
At this point, it was no longer in its black mist form, but rather in its semi-sealed sculpted form, susceptible to physical attacks.
The impact was so precise that the last bit of energy dissipated, and the wisp of evil spirit slowly returned to its place.
Even Zuo Qingtian and Xi Yue outside did not expect Qin Yi to recover so quickly. Mainly because their senses were greatly hindered by the boundary gate, they failed to detect Qin Yi's abnormal recovery efficiency.
The Myriad Demons Magic Robe, the Blood of the Chenghuang...
When it comes to the essence of life, at Qin Yi's current level, it can be said that none is more powerful than it.
In addition, the Qian Yuan Level Forgetful Soul Heaven Pill originally refined for Liusu... the combined effect of the two even surpassed the revival of Taotie.
No one, including Qin Yi himself, noticed that when he collided with the object, a wisp of remnant soul quietly attached itself to him and slipped into the ring.
Taking advantage of the moment of his final return, Taotie split his soul and possessed another body, attempting to steal flowers from his ring to eat.
Actually, it never imagined that the ring would be so unguarded; it's like a public restroom—so comfortable to just walk in whenever you want...
This extremely weak wisp of remnant soul took the form of a small black furball in the ring. Its two eyes, unusually, were not blood-red, but rather the black pupils and whites of a normal person's eyes. They blinked on the black furball, which was surprisingly cute.
Seeing that no one had noticed it, the Taotie grinned silently from its enormous maw and drifted towards the Other Shore Flower. When Qin Yi retrieved the Other Shore Flower, he simply tossed it aside; it was right next to a Spirit Stone, and the Taotie spotted it immediately.
Just as it floated to the edge of the Other Shore Flower, a Little Ghost emerged expressionlessly from behind the Spirit Stone.
It's also round.
The black pom-pom blinked its eyes.
The two balls, one black and one white, stared at each other for a while, and then the white ball was found to be slightly larger.
The Little Ghost was very proud of itself. It slowly raised a small bone and looked down at it with its eyes slanted.
The black fur ball suddenly remembered something and stammered, "It's... it's Li! Liu..."
"Stealing flowers to eat!" Little Bone slammed down on his head, yelling, "I told you not to steal, steal, steal flowers to eat!"
"Help! Help me!"
"Shut up! It's all formless outside, be careful to control your breathing!"
Qin Yi, dragging his injured body, slowly walked out of the Heaven-Severing Door.
The outside was deserted. Not only was Xi Yue nowhere to be seen, but even Zuo Qingtian and the disciples of the Witch God had left. Even Qing Wei, who should theoretically owe him a life-saving favor, had run away without any sense of loyalty, probably because he was too ashamed to face him.
Qin Yi didn't care about Qing Wei; he was heartbroken by his mother-in-law's departure. Did she really have nothing to say to him? Oh, Mother-in-law!
Besides... Zuo Qingtian really that single?
Of course, Qin Yi knew that Zuo Qingtian seemed easy to talk to only because of Xi Yue. There might be some tacit understanding between them, and they didn't want to fight each other. Perhaps even a minor injury would disrupt many plans, so they were both trying their best to avoid a real confrontation?
But the fact that he just left like that still made him feel strange.
The Witch God Sect had always given him a very domineering and fierce impression, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be so easy to talk to. This matter was not over, and there would definitely be more to come.
In mid-air, Mangshan asked Zuo Qingtian, "Sect Master, are we really just going to leave without doing anything?"
Zuo Qingtian soared through the air, a satisfied smile on his face, "So what? The Celestial Pivot Divine Palace have arrived, Crane Cry True Person is already behind us. Do you really think that Xi Yue, seeing our strength, wouldn't respond to any sect summons?"
Mangshan remained silent. Another formless being had arrived at the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace; of course, he had to leave.
Zuo Qingtian added, "We've gained far more from this than we imagined, so there's no need to be discouraged."
Everyone was stunned. "Much bigger than we imagined? We've only achieved half the result."
"Achieving half the result is already a very good result," Zuo Qingtian smiled. "Besides, what we achieved this time is far more than half, even double."
The old Witcher asked, "Please enlighten me, Sect Master."
"That Taotie didn't return to its original position at all; its remnant soul hid inside Qin Yi. Do you think I didn't know?" Zuo Qingtian laughed. "Qin Yi also possesses Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow, so let Qin Yi nourish my soul. This soul is currently weak; once he's healed it for us, we can seize it and use it directly. And what about the Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow we've saved? Can't we use it to summon Qiongqi?"
The Witcher's eyes lit up in unison.
When the Qiongqi altar exploded, others paid no further attention, but the Witch God Sect, of course, kept a close eye on it. They knew exactly where the altar fragments had gone, just waiting for the right moment.
Whether Qin Yi can seize the Taotie is another matter. The Qiongqi, completely forgotten by others, is a perfectly intact ferocious soul that can be easily obtained! That Qiongqi was only summoned using cloud energy; a hundred years wouldn't be needed, ten would suffice, and it's almost there, isn't it?
So what did their Witch God Sect lose this time? They lost nothing. On the contrary, they left behind the suspense of how to take the Taotie from Qin Yi in the future.
If it works, wouldn't that be double the profit?
Zuo Qingtian suddenly stopped, turned around and looked back for a while before sighing in a low voice, "That Li Wuxian is really amazing. Even Qin Yi, who broke through to the Huiyang Qin Yi in such a short time and whose combat strength is approaching that of the late Huiyang stage, is not as astonishing to me as this little girl. Make arrangements to leave someone in Dragon Abyss City to record her every move."
Record her every move? Is that really necessary?
As if sensing everyone's confusion, Zuo Qingtian gently shook his head. "Perhaps you haven't fully understood this situation... Anyway, you should all realize that she must be the reincarnation of a powerful being, right?"
The old Witcher said, "Yes, I see."
Zuo Qingtian slowly said, "Li Wuxian's performance has truly shocked me, and I believe Xi Yue has as well. I wonder who she was in her past life. If she was an enemy, then any bet is no longer worth keeping. Even if Xi Yue can calculate all the causes and effects to stop it, I will still kill her. If she was a friend... then of course we must prepare to make her become that person from her past life."
Mangshan then said, "Then I'll go. I'm quite interested in them."
Zuo Qingtian looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Yes, you are destined to be with them."
