The Mysterious Treasure Herb in the Qi Sea
After the group of priests left the place.
Inside the courtyard, a group of martial artists who could hardly be considered geniuses in the Divine Continent began to chat in pairs.
Because Ye Li's strength and background were so formidable, most of the martial artists in the academy dared not speak to him rashly.
There was only one exception.
"Friend, from which Divine Kingdom do you come?"
After calming herself down, Chu Sui'er sat down slowly next to the young man and tentatively said, "My name is Chu Sui, a direct descendant of the Chu family in Qingping City. If you don't mind, you can tell me about it; perhaps I've heard of you."
Perhaps it was a feeling of mutual appreciation or empathy that was at play.
He always wanted to have a chat with this equally powerful Tianyuan expert, hoping that if he accepted the so-called [Inheritance] first, the other party might be able to save his life.
"Our family has always lived in seclusion, so let's not dwell on it."
As Ye Li manipulated the souls he had placed outside to expand outwards, he casually asked, "As for you, is there any special purpose in dressing as a man?"
"Any True Person at the Divine Connection Realm could see through your rather unsophisticated disguise at a glance."
It was merely a rudimentary illusion technique, far inferior to his Golden Divine Ability of [Fetal Transformation Shapeshifting].
Even the techniques used by Jiang Minghuang when she played Maid were countless times more sophisticated than this.
"Besides my daily cultivation, I also need to assist my family in managing the affairs of Qingping City. Being a man makes things much easier."
Having her identity exposed, Chu Sui'er wasn't too surprised. Instead, she smiled nonchalantly and said, "This isn't a secret for many people. Even the Snake God knows about it, so I might as well just keep pretending."
Unlike most of the local martial artists who were kept in the dark, she was fully aware of what was about to happen to her.
Therefore, there has been a significant change in mindset.
He couldn't help but lose his usual cautiousness, and his words revealed a hint of emotion. "With your cultivation level, apart from not being able to leave the Divine Demon Kingdom, you should be able to live a very comfortable life even without accepting the Inheritance, right?"
"Why would you want to come to Qingping City to participate in the Snake Sacrifice?"
"Ever since I reached the Divine Connection Realm, I've always wanted to meet the Demon God in person. Now that I have this opportunity, of course I have to come and see," Ye Li casually made up an excuse.
To be honest, that wasn't a lie.
Ever since he obtained a reverse scale from the Teng Snake from the Yun family of the Eastern Continent, he had been wanting to come and have tea and chat with this Great Demon of the Creation Realm, and develop a heartfelt friendship.
"Yeah..."
Chu Sui'er smiled and said, "Then you've probably exceeded your target this time."
"What's the meaning?"
"Snake Sacrifice... are actually held in other Divine Kingdom as well. The Great Demon God Said it's to select geniuses who can Inheritance their power."
Chu Sui'er pursed her lips slightly, trying to make the statement sound more noble, "But in order to eliminate geographical interference, when the major Divine Kingdom hold Snake Sacrifice, the Great Demon gods actually all attend..."
Ye Li understood this time.
This is because they were worried that eating from only one place would be too fast, and they also considered that such activities could not be held frequently. Therefore, these five Great Demons of creation took turns holding such election activities in their respective territories.
Whoever officiates at the priesthood, we go to their place.
"Wow, they really know how to have fun..." Ye Li thought with slight surprise.
I really didn't expect them to be able to create such a convenient operation.
To satisfy their own needs, these Great Demon unleashed astonishing wisdom.
This is a gap that can be utilized.
It seems there's no need to send the soul to wander elsewhere awaiting orders.
All I need to do is use some micro-management while brutally killing that True Lord Tengshe, and I can achieve my goal for this trip.
Let's get started.
After a brief pause, Ye Li looked up again and said, "You know a lot."
"It's nothing..."
Chu Sui'er smiled slightly, though she couldn't very well say that all of this was what her kind grandfather had told her.
That kind of explanation really went against her true feelings.
The two chatted casually like that.
What puzzled Ye Li was that, despite his overwhelming Martial Dao prowess, he could always sense a strange substance in his opponent's Qi Sea.
It's not due to any particular Cultivation Method.
It's not a recurring old injury.
It was more like using one's own inexhaustible true energy to nurture a Treasure Medicine with extremely demanding growth conditions in the Qi Sea, which was quite terrifying.
However, this change cannot be said to be entirely a bad thing.
After all, if used properly, it can very likely become a shortcut to improving one's cultivation level.
The Chu family of Qingping City has its own secret technique? That's interesting, but it's also a bit torturous...
Ye Li gradually regained his composure.
As night deepened, thousands of lights illuminated the Qingping City.
From high above, it resembled a candle flickering in a storm, seemingly on the verge of being extinguished at any moment.
The masked priest has finally returned.
His skinless face, hidden beneath the mask, trembled slightly, and a hoarse voice followed. "You, all of you, come with me."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard perked up. Compared to the trivial matters of the martial arts world that they were all familiar with, this matter concerning their own destiny was much more gripping.
Let's go.
Chu Sui'er slowly stood up, as if exhaling thousands of years of bitterness from her lungs, and said with a genuine smile.
"..."
Ye Li nodded slightly, then took the lead and followed.
This Chu Sui'er most likely knows the truth about the Snake Sacrifice, but her tone of facing death at this moment is indeed somewhat unnecessary.
Firstly, he will definitely be the first martial artist to enter the academy, and the climax of this operation will officially begin.
Secondly, if one truly harbors rebellious intentions.
This change in emotion and tone would easily alert high-level martial artists, even those whose strength was inferior to Chu Sui'er.
But it's a bit too late to say all this now.
Since the high priest arrived, his discreet gaze from behind the mask had swept over Chu Sui'er's Qi Sea at least three times.
Clearly, this Tengshe is really greedy in this regard.
Fortunately, I've always been generous in this regard.
You can offer it the Myriad Transformation Divine Soldier Iron, which is the Demon Lord's favorite food.
