A Major Event

When Hu Xian'er asked the question, the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord had already arrived at his palace.

But he still heard the question.

He frowned, waved his hand, and saw the space fold up directly, from which Hu Xian'er walked out in surprise.

She was genuinely surprised; she hadn't expected that her casual complaint would elicit a response from her owner, who even took the initiative to bring her up.

So she immediately knelt down. "This servant deserves to die..."

But the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord said bluntly, "You do deserve to die, but you don't know why you deserve to die."

"This servant doesn't understand... Even if he has powerful backers, why would he deserve such condescension from his master?" Hu Xian'er asked, puzzled.

"This is why you have accomplished nothing in Clear Mist City for a hundred years." The Green Mountain Kingdom Lord walked out of the palace and sat down on a stone bench in the elegant garden outside.

He reached out and a few spirit seeds fell from his hand. He tossed them into the air, and many spirit birds and raptors flying in the sky rushed to eat them, crowding together.

Although he sounded angry, he maintained good manners and did not resort to hitting or scolding; instead, he prepared to explain.

"Think carefully, what reward does he want?" asked the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord.

"Yes... I remember it was a fragment of the Moon Soul," Hu Xian'er replied.

"Under what circumstances would a fragment of the Moon Soul be used?"

"When it is necessary to extract Yin Qi as material, it is too condensed, making it extremely difficult to extract. The extracted energy is just ordinary Taiyin Qi."

"If the technique is skillful, it can be used for refining weapons. Although the quantity is small, it is not very useful and its value is not high. Oh, the powder may be used to treat diseases, but the Taiyin Qi is too illusory. It is more effective to use the Diyin Qi directly." Hu Xian'er thought for a moment and answered in this way.

Basically, there's nothing wrong with it. The Moon Spirit, hanging high in the sky, is formed by the natural convergence of Yin Qi from heaven and earth. It has an extremely high status and contains almost endless Yin Qi.

However, because of its enormous size, this thing will break apart and then reformate itself every now and then, just like metabolism.

Some of these fragments will directly dissolve into Yin Qi. Many practitioners who take the moon as their foundation will cultivate by gazing at the moon at night, absorbing this naturally dissipating Taiyin Qi.

A very small portion of the debris, due to its excessive cohesion, did not completely disintegrate and remained on the lunar surface; these are known as Moon Fragment.

The Moon is located outside the world, and even for powerful beings, it takes a considerable distance to go there to retrieve fragments of the Moon's essence. This is roughly equivalent to running ten kilometers away to pick up a stone.

They are of high rank, few in number, and difficult to collect. Most importantly, they are not very useful, as there are generally cheaper alternatives.

Therefore, this thing is basically not circulated in the market. Ninety-nine percent of the Moon Fragment lie obediently on the surface of the moon, just like weeds.

These items in Li Qi's possession were brought back to him by the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord after he had asked him to make a trip to Taiyin as a reward.

"Then think about it, why would he want such a practically useless material?" asked the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord.

"They must have their own methods. There are countless Cultivation Method in the world, and there's no guarantee that someone will need this." Hu Xian'er guessed uncertainly.

"What an idiot! I don't even know what to say. You know he comes from the Great Deer Kingdom. The Great Deer Kingdom needs fragments of the Moon Soul. Can't you figure that out?" the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord cursed.

After being scolded like that, Hu Xian'er immediately searched her mind for information about the Great Deer Kingdom and the Moon Soul.

After being reminded by her master, she pondered carefully the recent major events concerning the Great Deer Kingdom.

The Great Deer Kingdom is very far away from here, and she doesn't usually pay much attention to it. After all, it's more than 100,000 miles away, and there's basically no connection between them anymore.

However, a major event has indeed recently occurred in the Great Deer Kingdom that has shocked the entire world.

Lady Luofu was fatally wounded by the Emperor's sword and fled from Jiannan to Baiyue. Two third-rank supreme Perfected Person from the Human Path pursued her all the way to Baiyue. In just three days, they destroyed the four kingdoms of Song, Stone Mountain Kingdom, Mingqing Kingdom, Xiao Lie Kingdom. Two of the four kings were killed on the spot, and the remaining two were half-dead before they were able to escape.

Afterwards, a Great Shaman arrived and fought against the two of them, all the way to the Outer Heaven. He actually defeated both of the Perfected Person and made them flee in a sorry state. He even cut off his own tail and sacrificed a fourth-grade Law Treasure to cover his retreat before he was able to escape successfully.

After that, the standoff between Wushen Mountain and Tang Kingdom on the border became increasingly severe. It was said that even natural mountain and water spirits could not be born there, and various laws began to fail. This was the result of the conflict between the Shaman Path and the Human Path. It was a lawless place, and even cultivators who had reached a certain level were rarely seen.

This should be the most serious thing that the Great Deer Kingdom has ever encountered, because the battlefield between the two Perfected Person and the Great Shaman was in the Great Deer Kingdom, which borders the Song Kingdom.

Apart from that, Hu Xian'er didn't have any special knowledge about the Great Deer Kingdom.

No, there's one more thing.

Just last year, a fortuitous opportunity arose at White Snake Mountain in the Great Deer Kingdom, attracting countless people like Hu Xian'er to compete for it. It was a large divination mark containing Daoist principles, and the White Snake Mountain made a fortune from it.

It was also about Lady Luofu. It seemed that Lady Luofu's hidden whereabouts were exposed, and a great diviner from Wushen Mountain personally descended to guide her. He also repelled a powerful demon who had also learned of the news and rushed over to take advantage of the situation. He successfully rescued Lady Luofu and even seized a second-grade Law Treasure, namely the Sun Moon True Lead Cauldron, which was passed down from Mount Luofu. He returned home with a full load of treasures.

The battlefield left behind has become a new fortuitous opportunity, attracting a constant stream of people who want to learn the Daoist arts of divination and advance their own level. This has led to many armed conflicts.

Besides that, what else is there?

Although they are both in the Great Deer Kingdom, what does this have to do with the fragments of the Moon Soul?

Seeing that Hu Xian'er remained silent for a while, the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord looked at her with disappointment and scolded her sternly, "Use your brain! Who are the people who escaped from Mount Luofu? Who were the people that the higher-ups ordered the entire Baiyue to search for?"

Hu Xian'er immediately shuddered!

Yes, that's true. Wushen Mountain once ordered all the Baiyue kingdoms to conduct self-investigations in search of the whereabouts of Lady Luofu!

The Green Mountain Kingdom Lord naturally instructed his subordinates to implement this order and posted many notices.

At that time, the clues given from above included a bunch of characteristics and Cultivation Method of Lady Luofu, as well as her maidservants, which were also given as clues.

Because it was something her master specifically mentioned to pay attention to, she took it very seriously and remembered it clearly. It was said that when Lady Luofu took it out, she was accompanied by the essence of the sun and moon and her maid. If they discovered the presence of these two, it meant that Lady Luofu was nearby.

These two are Shen Shuibi, the essence of the moon, and Yang Ning, the essence of the sun. They are both spirits of the sun and moon, born from the Sun Moon True Lead Cauldron and Moon, and Innate Variant.

"This person is related to the Moon Spirit?" Hu Xian'er raised her head, finally understanding her master's meaning.

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Seeing that Hu Xian'er finally understood the most basic point, the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord pushed the topic a little further. "It's one thing to be related to the Moon Spirit, but if it's just someone who is related to the Moon Spirit, would they not cultivate Daoist Cultivation Method, but instead come to cultivate Shaman Path?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Xian'er was struck dumb, as if by lightning! She stood frozen in place.

Yes, she should have thought of that sooner!

The answer was so horrifying that she instinctively ruled it out.

It's not her fault; no one would easily reveal that answer.

Because, in the minds of all Baiyue cultivators of the seventh rank and above, that answer could explain all doubts and satisfy all questions, but it was absolutely impossible for it to appear in reality.

It's like an ultimate truth that can theoretically explain everything. Everyone knows it exists, but no one applies it to every problem.

But sometimes, certain problems just happen to fit onto that ultimate truth.

"Wu... Wushen Mountain." Hu Xian'er answered tremblingly, her body covered in cold sweat.

Even though a seventh-rank cultivator could easily control her metabolism, she still couldn't. The cold sweat soaked through the thin gauze she was wearing, making her body appear almost transparent.

"Have you figured it out yet? Now you know why I've been telling you so much?" The Green Mountain Kingdom Lord snorted coldly when he saw Hu Xian'er so frightened. "Consider this a lesson for you. Remember, in the future, use your brain when you encounter problems. Don't be like Jin Chi, who only relies on brute force."

"This servant... this servant knows," Hu Xian'er replied, trembling.

The Green Mountain Kingdom Lord shook his head and continued to throw spirit seeds into the sky to feed the fish. Without turning his head, he said, "Go back. Don't reveal this to anyone, not even Li Qi. If you don't tell him, he will still remember my kindness and know that I helped him."

"If I tell him, it will become an investment in advance, a favor I'm expecting in return. Although he certainly won't leave me ungrateful, the relationship will be much weaker, understand?"

"This servant understands." Hu Xian'er had calmed down considerably and bowed her head in agreement, though it was unclear what she was thinking inside.

"Moreover, I added something to the reward he requested, and he will surely thank me personally when we meet next time," said the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord.

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the space around Hu Xian'er immediately distorted and disappeared from the spot.

He closed his eyes.

The gift I'm giving as a reward should make this young master remember me well, right? It should.

With these thoughts in mind, he controlled the palace and began to accelerate, speeding across the outer realms.

He still has things to do.

Jin Chi was in a hurry to get his son reincarnated.

Is it that simple?

Jin Chi was a brainless person, but she finally had a son named Jin Buhuan who was intelligent, so she cherished him dearly and regarded him as her successor.

How can we ensure that he can actually train Jin Buhuan?

Manipulating reincarnation is something only Jin Chi can do, but I can't?

Li Qi, on the other hand, spent a day wandering around the Clear Mist Sect, mainly visiting the Clear Mist Sect's properties and taking the opportunity to select Cultivation Method.

There's not much to say about the Clear Mist Sect's businesses. Although they are indeed pleasing to the eye, Li Qi has no interest in those women and has no intention of trying them out himself.

He simply took a short walk around, broadened his horizons, and then focused on finding a cultivation Cultivation Method; that was more important.

I picked out a Cultivation Method for Old Ma that was moderately strong and reasonably priced. The Cultivation Method could be cultivated to the eighth rank at its maximum level and was called "The Uncommon Song".

The name is derived from "fierce beasts do not flock together, and birds of prey do not write poems." It is forged by taking the fierce beast's energy from the Dragon Horse's body as its core and refining it by absorbing the righteous energy of heaven and earth. Its roar can contain a trace of righteous energy. If it becomes a demon by this method, it will be like a hero of beasts, full of righteous energy, with its head held high and its roar like thunder. Its energy is overwhelming, capable of swallowing tigers and repelling soldiers. Its eyes are like gold, and it can travel without bounds.

This characteristic resonated with Li Qi, so after careful consideration and reading many other books, he finally chose this one.

Although he didn't know why the Clear Mist Sect, which mainly made its fortune through prostitution, would collect such Cultivation Method, Li Qi accepted it with a smile.

Originally, Clear Mist Sect was going to give him the original directly, but Li Qi insisted on not accepting it. He asked for a blank book himself and stayed up all night copying down the Cultivation Method, various methods of absorbing qi, and key points to note. As for the core Divine Will Inheritance, he honestly memorized it himself, preparing to pass it on to Old Ma later.

After dealing with these matters, Li Qi bid farewell to the Clear Mist Sect and returned to the inn.

Many people were still exchanging pleasantries and striking up conversations, which Li Qi superficially responded to.

Inside the inn, the rabbit was squatting at the door, half asleep.

Upon hearing Li Qi's voice, she immediately looked up and went outside.

"Oh, Miss Shen, I'm back. Everything's done. Let's set off today!" Li Qi saw Shen Shuibi, quickly stepped forward, and said directly.

But Shen Shuibi frowned, pulled Li Qi along, and then stood on tiptoe to pat his head.

Li Qi thought she missed him and was feeling quite pleased with himself, but Shen Shuibi then pried open his eyelids, looked at the whites of his eyes, and opened his chin to smell them.

Then take his hand and carefully feel his pulse.

Then, Shen Shuibi said to him in a very serious tone, "Li Qi, has someone touched your body recently?"

Li Qi replied, "Uh... Clear Mist Sect healed me. The method was amazing. It seemed like he cut and stitched up a very small part of my body, removing all the damaged parts—ugh!"

Li Qi was halfway through his sentence when Shen Shuibi completely ignored him and slapped him on the chest.

The intense pain tore him apart from the inside!

Li Qi collapsed to the ground with a thud. He felt as if he had fallen from a 20-meter-high platform and landed straight on the concrete floor.

Its entire body was cut open and chopped up, as if it had been thrown into a meat grinder and minced into meat paste.

Even with Li Qi's mental fortitude, he couldn't help but shout out and fall to the ground.

It took him a while to recover; he was covered in sweat and panting heavily.

"Shen, Shen... Miss, what's wrong with you..." Li Qi barely managed to get up, almost collapsing from exhaustion.

Furthermore, his injuries have healed.

It's not that it's healed completely, but rather that it has returned from a healthy state to its previous injured state.

"Don't let those quacks touch you. Luckily, you came back in time. If she had really treated you like this and let it heal slowly, your inner world would have lost its natural form by the time it fully heals. For the path of witchcraft, this would be a long-term consequence, and it would take a hundred or a thousand times more effort to recover." Shen Shuibi stroked Li Qi's head and said very seriously.

"Okay..." Li Qi was so exhausted that he could say nothing more than that.

Anyway, no matter what happens... it won't harm myself.

That's it, he didn't want to do anything but lie there like a corpse.

It hurts.

Ah, I'm dead.

On the last day of February, give me any monthly passes you don't need!
