Meeting Qing Lin Again (Contract Status Updated, Please Support!)

With the Teng Snake Clan Chief's guidance, Mo Yun gained a systematic understanding of the Teng Snake Cultivation Method.

In Mo Yun's view, the principles of the Teng Snake Cultivation Method were quite similar to how serpent-type magical beasts fed: swallow it all in one gulp, gorge oneself fat, then slowly digest and absorb it.

The most basic requirement for this cultivation method was a sufficiently powerful physical body. Otherwise, after swallowing a massive amount of Dou Qi, one might explode from the swelling before having time to digest and absorb it. That would be rather ridiculous.

However, its advantages were equally obvious: it could swallow a lot, in enormous quantities!

Cultivation after becoming a Dou Zhe involved absorbing scattered Dou Qi energy from heaven and earth. The Teng Snake method's speed and capacity for taking in Dou Qi were absurdly exaggerated. As long as one ensured that their body would not burst apart, its cultivation speed was absolutely among the very best.

As for that yellowed Teng Snake Ancient Text, it was merely a smokescreen. The true essence lay in the information Black Mist Teng Snake had transmitted directly into his mind.

Looking at the human skin he had shed, Mo Yun felt a chill run through him. Though the process had been somewhat difficult to accept, he was extremely satisfied with the results.

His increasingly fair and delicate skin did not mean that his physical strength had weakened. On the contrary, after shedding his skin, Mo Yun's strength had improved considerably.

The boost in physical strength brought about by transplanting a magical beast's body had been more like a crude enhancement. His body had even carried a faint sense of clumsiness and heaviness. After shedding his skin, however, Mo Yun's body was no longer so cumbersome. It possessed a quality of firmness tempered with flexibility.

Seeing Mo Yun curiously examining his condition after shedding his skin, Black Mist Teng Snake said, "It is only natural to feel somewhat unaccustomed after your first shedding. The further you go, the more you will come to enjoy this feeling, because every shedding brings a comprehensive improvement to your entire body!"

Mo Yun continued staring into the mirror, and he had naturally already discovered the benefits brought by shedding his skin. As for the only drawback, it was the issue of hair. It seemed he needed to prepare a set of wigs and false eyebrows in advance.

After staring into the mirror for quite a while, Mo Yun finally asked, "Now that I have cultivated the Teng Snake Cultivation Method, why do I feel nothing regarding the Heavenly Revelation Mountain Range where you perished? Is it because my current strength is too weak?"

Black Mist Teng Snake drifted through the air as it said, "Even if you cultivate my clan's cultivation method, do you think you can freely sense this King's body? The Dou Qi Continent is so vast. Without entering the Emperor Realm, how could you possibly possess such powerful perception?"

"Then how am I supposed to find it? Do I wait until I become an Emperor?" Mo Yun retorted.

Black Mist Teng Snake thought for a moment before saying uncertainly, "The Heavenly Revelation Mountain Range was located in the southeast of the Central Province in those days. Though you cannot sense it from here, if you enter the southeastern region of the Central Province, you should discover something!"

"When will this wisp of your aura dissipate? Do you have any other inheritances or anything? If you do, stop hiding them! The faster I cultivate, the sooner you can revive!" Mo Yun fired off question after question.

Black Mist Teng Snake: "..."

Across the vast desert, storms raged. The mercenaries wandering the desert had long since sought places to shelter from the wind and sand.

Yet a small black figure raced through the storm. The tempest feared by all seemed to be nothing in its eyes.

His entire body was wrapped in a black robe, and his face was covered with black cloth, leaving only a pair of green eyes exposed. However, the brows above those eyes seemed to have been forcibly stripped away, leaving the skin smooth and bare. Those conspicuous features belonged to none other than Mo Yun, who had emerged from seclusion.

Mo Yun had now reached the level of a two-star Great Dou Shi. Such strength might not amount to much elsewhere, but at the edge of the Tagor Desert, it could already be called peak-level combat power. That was why the Snake-People Tribe had allowed him to leave.

And Mo Yun's destination was obvious: Stone Desert City!

His search for the Heavenly Flame had run into an accident, and he had been directly abducted by Medusa Queen. Then cultivating the Teng Snake Cultivation Method and converting his Dou Qi had taken quite some time. All told, more than half a month had passed.

Qing Lin, whom he had settled in an inn, did not need to worry about lodging expenses. But staying there alone for half a month, she must have been driven nearly mad with worry.

After returning to Stone Desert City, he hurried to the inn. Upon learning that Qing Lin was still in her room, Mo Yun quickly headed there.

The moment he entered, he saw a small, slender figure standing by the window.

At the sound of the door opening, that figure seemed to be deeply stirred and urgently turned around.

Compared to the dirty appearance Qing Lin had worn when he first met her, she now looked much more refined. Even dressed in the most ordinary coarse clothes, she still gave off an otherworldly air.

The skin on her delicate little face was smooth and tender, like that of a porcelain doll. Yet her eyes, so similar in color to Mo Yun's, had grown slightly wet, with a circle of red around them.

As Mo Yun approached, the formerly timid Qing Lin boldly threw herself into his arms. She soon began to choke up, making Mo Yun's heart ache. He gently patted her with the hand holding her and could only keep consoling her.

"Young Master, your hair and eyebrows..."

"That isn't important. You weren't bullied while I was gone, were you?" Mo Yun asked softly.

Sniffling, Qing Lin replied somewhat incoherently, "No, it's just that there was..."

"Hehe, so you were waiting for your sweetheart. I was wondering why you insisted on staying here and had to wait for him to return!" At that moment, a soft, delicate laugh interrupted Qing Lin and echoed through the room.

The instant the voice sounded, Mo Yun instinctively felt a sense of danger.

From his perception, the mysterious person behind that voice had already appeared silently behind him.

The pressure the other party exerted on Mo Yun was immensely powerful. Most frighteningly, before the other party acted, Mo Yun had not sensed a thing.

At that thought, cold sweat broke out all over Mo Yun's body.

At the same time, a powerful pressure descended upon him, clearly far from friendly.

In a flash, the patterns in Mo Yun's green eyes skillfully transformed into three flower-shaped markings. The instant he turned around, he struck directly!

Spirit Drive S-Class!

As a surge of soul power acted upon the other party, Mo Yun leaped out through the window with Qing Lin in his arms the very next moment.

Although Spirit Drive S-Class was currently Mo Yun's greatest trump card and could enslave serpent-type magical beasts, it could only produce a brief disorienting effect against powerful humans.

Moreover, judging by the strength Mo Yun had sensed from the other party, there was no way they could fail to break free from that illusion.

Sure enough, just as Mo Yun landed on the ground with Qing Lin after jumping out the window, the person came to their senses. Rather than becoming angry, they murmured with great interest, "Heh, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils I have searched so long for have actually appeared twice at once!"
