Mother-Child Ghost Baleful Spirit

Bai Yu's icy voice echoed through the surroundings.

He deeply respected Zhao Tianlong's willingness to face death, but as an opponent, he could never let him leave.

These worlds themselves followed the law of the jungle, where the weak were prey to the strong.

Mercy toward an enemy was cruelty toward oneself.

As his words fell, Bai Yu slowly walked up to Li Shishi and smiled kindly.

Still shaken, Li Shishi looked at Bai Yu, clearly not having processed what had happened.

When he picked up her long spear, Bai Yu spun it in a flourish and hurled it heavily. The spear transformed into a streak of black light and shot explosively toward Zhao Tianlong's throat!

"Bang!"

The spear tore through the air with a shrill whistle. Just as it was about to pierce Zhao Tianlong's throat, a massive fleshy tumor suddenly spewed from his mouth.

The tumor continued to swell. The instant it came into contact with the spear, thick black mist spread out, its astonishing elasticity deflecting the spear's attack.

"I offered you dignity, but you refused it. Then don't blame me..."

At the sight, Bai Yu narrowed his eyes. His entire body shot forth like a cannonball. The moment he gripped the spear, the Blood River Body Tempering Art empowered his body, and under that terrifying force, the fleshy tumor was crushed to pieces!

"Pshk!"

The spear plunged into his throat. Zhao Tianlong's eyes flew wide, unwillingness spreading across his face. The next moment, his hands slowly went limp as Black Charcoal drained every last drop of his vitality.

"Ehehehe..."

Black Charcoal let out a delighted laugh. Within minutes, Zhao Tianlong had turned into a desiccated corpse.

Dense Sha Qi spread from Black Charcoal's body. At last, Black Charcoal curled into a ball and fell into slumber.

[Human-Faced Centipede Gu 3500/6000 (Mutating)]

Bai Yu paused at the prompt displayed on the panel.

The progress bar was not even full, yet Black Charcoal had mutated again!

Could it be that these monsters created from Great Medicine were Black Charcoal's greatest nourishment?

At that thought, a glint of excitement flashed through Bai Yu's eyes. If that was true, then wouldn't this world be Black Charcoal's hunting ground?

There was more than one person like Zhao Tianlong among those so-called righteous and prestigious sects.

One had to know that orthodox cultivation had extremely demanding requirements. Cultivating with Great Medicine was the mainstream of this world!

Coming back to his senses from his excitement, Bai Yu put Black Charcoal into his grotto-heaven, then pulled out the spear and handed it back to Li Shishi with both hands.

"Senior Sister, it's taken care of."

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Li Shishi was clearly still in shock.

Just like that, it was taken care of? The monster that had hunted down and slaughtered their enforcement squad at will had simply died like this.

Looking at Bai Yu, who was only at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, Li Shishi found it all rather unreal.

"Thank you..."

Li Shishi's lips moved. Only after a long while did she finally speak.

"Don't mention it. We're both disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect. When we're away from the sect, we should help each other."

Bai Yu smiled faintly and replied casually.

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have made it out today."

Li Shishi looked at Zhao Tianlong's corpse, then thought of the enforcement squad members who had come on this mission.

Her expression immediately turned ugly.

Twenty-three Foundation Establishment cultivators qualified to advance into the inner sect had perished in the White Bone Mountain Range. As their captain, she bore an inescapable responsibility.

At the same time, Li Shishi's hatred for the mastermind behind Zhao Tianlong reached its peak!

The Iron Sword Sect had to die!

Whether it was for using Zhao Tianlong, a mortal, to violate the rules, or for the sake of those twenty-three squad members, Li Shishi would not let them go!

"Senior Sister, can you still walk?"

"This isn't a place to talk."

Seeing Li Shishi's condition, Bai Yu felt somewhat troubled. If she could not even walk, his training journey might have to end early.

After all, he could not possibly let her stay inside his grotto-heaven. There were too many secrets within it, and Bai Yu could not expose them.

Hearing this, Li Shishi nodded and swallowed another pill.

"I'm merely exhausted. It's nothing."

"Then let's travel together from here on. It wasn't easy to come all this way, so I plan to look around some more. When the time comes, we can return to the sect together."

Bai Yu said with a smile.

After leaving the white mist, Bai Yu led the two women onward, continuing to follow the two crimson auras he had seen.

With Li Shishi present, Bai Yu lost all desire to train through experience. Zhao Yun led the way the entire journey, and under the crushing force of a Golden Core cultivator, they proceeded virtually without obstruction.

As time passed, three days went by in the blink of an eye. Bai Yu obtained the items represented by the crimson streams as he had wished, and he did not even spare some of the gray streams.

"A Mother-Child Ghost Baleful Spirit at the Foundation Establishment Realm, a corpse core from a thousand-year-old corpse, twelve Withered Leaf Rot Flowers, and over a hundred split souls that still retained consciousness."

"Junior Brother Bai truly has deep blessings and fortune."

After leaving the White Bone Mountain Range, Li Shishi looked at Bai Yu with a trace of something strange in her eyes.

Over the past three days, the things Bai Yu had acquired were simply astonishing. Leaving aside the Withered Leaf Rot Flowers, whose quality had reached the Golden Core level—

That Mother-Child Ghost Baleful Spirit alone, if the inner disciples of Ghost Refining Peak learned of it, would likely empty their pockets to buy it.

After all, the conditions for a Mother-Child Ghost Baleful Spirit to form were exceedingly harsh. It required a woman of incomparably steadfast will to die after suffering immense injustice, together with the nourishment of a feng shui formation known as "where snakes abound, trouble follows."

Only then would there be a small chance of it taking shape!

Thus, the rarity of a Mother-Child Ghost Baleful Spirit was no less than that of a Yin-Yang Corpse. What was more, the Mother-Child Ghost Baleful Spirit Bai Yu had obtained was carrying twins.

If it were properly nourished with ghost arts, its future would be boundless.

"Just luck, that's all. Perhaps because I've been traveling with Senior Sister lately, my luck has improved as well."

Bai Yu said with a smile.

He would not expose the secret of the Delusion-Breaking Golden Eyes unless it was absolutely necessary, so Bai Yu simply changed the subject.

"Once we return to the sect, if Junior Brother does not mind, I can go to Ghost Refining Peak and help you exchange for a scroll of ghost arts. If that Mother-Child Ghost Baleful Spirit is properly cultivated, it will surely become a tremendous source of aid to you in the future."

After giving it some thought, Li Shishi said with a smile.

She had a favorable impression of Bai Yu. Especially after spending this time together, she had discovered that he seemed quite different from the people around her.

At this, Bai Yu shook his head.

"I do not intend to cultivate it with ghost arts. Senior Sister knows that I am a disciple of Gu Refining Peak, so I must still focus on gu arts."

The thousand-year corpse core was directly given to Zhao Yun as her reward.

As for the Withered Leaf Rot Flowers, he intended to keep them as food for after he refined the Mother-Child Corpse Baleful Spirit into a gu.

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Li Shishi's eyes filled with shock.

Refine the Mother-Child Ghost Baleful Spirit into a gu?

Were you gu masters always this extravagant?

Something that could become tremendous combat power with casual cultivation, and he was going to use it as mere material?

"Cough, cough, cough... Junior Brother, it would be best if you did not tell outsiders about that idea—especially disciples of Ghost Refining Peak..."

"Hmm?"

"What do you mean by that, Senior Sister?"

"Nothing. Some people... are small-minded and quick-tempered..."
