Acknowledging a Master, Trouble at the Iron Mine

It was also a snake's head that emerged from the egg.

However, the difference is that the one on the left has a white snake head, while the one on the right has a black snake head.

Li Yunjing's eyes widened in surprise.

Two small snakes swam out of the eggs.

The two small snakes stood up and stared intently at Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing looked at the two small snakes, one black and one white, and thought carefully.

"Could it be the extinct Netherworld Serpent!?"

Suddenly, a memory flashed through Li Yunjing's mind.

These are the original owner's memories.

When the original owner was a child, she was picked up by Nangong Chengyu.

Whenever Li Yunjing leads Mo Xuan and Shui Yao to do bad things,

Nangong Chengyu always tries to scare Li Yunjing.

If Li Yunjing misbehaves again, he will cast a spell to summon a messenger from the Netherworld to take Li Yunjing Li Yunjing and teach him a lesson.

The messenger of the Netherworld is none other than the Netherworld Serpent.

When Li Yunjing grew up, he even looked up what Netherworld Serpent was.

But they learned that the Netherworld Serpent had long been extinct.

However, according to records, the Netherworld Serpent is very powerful.

I don't know if it's a messenger from the Netherworld, but it certainly lives in the Netherworld and appears and disappears mysteriously.

After the Netherworld shattered, the Netherworld Serpent also disappeared.

Right now, Li Yunjing has actually hatched two Netherworld Serpent?

Li Yunjing calmed down and carefully recalled the records he had reviewed.

"One black and one white, that matches." Li Yunjing murmured to himself.

He then stretched out his right hand, trying to grab the two small snakes.

Li Yunjing found that his hand passed through the two small snakes as if they didn't exist.

"It also fits the description of having no physical form." Li Yunjing's body trembled, and his hands shook slightly.

The most distinctive feature of the Netherworld Serpent is that it has no physical form.

The Netherworld Serpent dwells in the Netherworld and is constantly accompanied by ghosts.

This caused the Netherworld Serpent to become like a ghost.

You can see it, but you can't touch it.

Unless the Netherworld Serpent is willing.

"Phew." Li Yunjing let out a long breath.

Li Yunjing was lucky; he obtained two Netherworld Serpent.

If Netherworld Serpent recognizes its master, it can reside within the master's soul.

It acts as a protector of the master's soul, guarding the master's soul.

Li Yunjing had previously been thinking of finding a magical Law Treasure to protect his soul.

There's no need for that now; the two Netherworld Serpent can handle the guarding duties.

With this thought in mind, Li Yunjing looked at the two Netherworld Serpent.

Place your right hand in front of the two Netherworld Serpent.

If the records Li Yunjing saw are true...

The Netherworld Serpent's choice of master depends entirely on fate.

The Netherworld Serpent Netherworld Serpent independent and unconventional; forcing it to acknowledge a master through force is completely futile.

Only those that the Netherworld Serpent deems worthy of it will recognize it as its master.

If the Netherworld Serpent takes a liking to him

Then it will actively suck Li Yunjing's blood.

They formed a blood pact, thus becoming Li Yunjing's pet beast.

If it doesn't work out, then it means Li Yunjing isn't meant to be.

Li Yunjing looked expectantly at the two small snakes.

The two small snakes flicked their tongues, stood up, but did not make any move.

Li Yunjing waited patiently.

A full quarter of an hour passed.

The two small snakes then swam towards Li Yunjing's right hand.

Upon seeing this, Li Yunjing immediately perked up.

The two small snakes opened their mouths and bit Li Yunjing's right hand.

Li Yunjing felt his blood rapidly draining away.

A few breaths later, Li Yunjing's face turned pale.

Fortunately, at that moment, the two small snakes released their grip.

Li Yunjing let out a long breath.

"My blood is severely depleted; I need to replenish it," Li Yunjing thought to himself.

These two small snakes may not look very big, but they have a frighteningly large appetite.

Li Yunjing thought the two small snakes were going to suck his blood dry.

Take out a pill and stabilize your body first.

Afterwards, Li Yunjing planned to go to Ding Qifeng to ask for some blood-replenishing elixirs.

At this moment, after the two Netherworld Serpent had sucked Li Yunjing's blood,

Its body had grown considerably larger.

It was originally only as thick as a little finger.

Right now, it's at least two fingers wide.

If it's long, it's estimated to be over a foot long.

Extend both hands,

Two Netherworld Serpent slithered up Li Yunjing's arm and into Li Yunjing sleeve.

The snake coiled around Li Yunjing's arm and lay dormant.

"To make the two Netherworld Serpent grow quickly, we need to catch some ghosts to feed them..."

Li Yunjing sat down and meditated for a while, thinking to himself.

Ghosts are food for the Netherworld Serpent.

Unfortunately, there are no wandering ghosts or spirits around Xunxian Town.

It was completely wiped out long ago.

Li Yunjing needs to think about this carefully.

After leaving the cave abode, Li Yunjing went to Ding Qifeng and asked for a few blood-replenishing pills.

Under Ding Qifeng's suspicious gaze,

Li Yunjing quickly made up an excuse and hurried back to the cultivation room.

After recovering his health, Li Yunjing should attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.

However, before Core Formation, Li Yunjing still needs to thoroughly practice the Soul-Guiding Nine Heavens Method.

We'll also take this opportunity to see if the Netherworld Serpent truly can protect the soul, as the records say.

By nightfall, Li Yunjing had almost fully recovered.

Using the Soul-Guiding Nine Heavens Method, Li Yunjing once again experienced his soul leaving his body.

Two Netherworld Serpent suddenly raised their heads and then darted out from Li Yunjing's sleeves.

They bit Li Yunjing's earlobes, one on each side, and hung them on Li Yunjing's ears.

"Is this supposed to be a cosplay of a deity?" Li Yunjing thought to himself.

For some snake-manipulating gods, hanging snakes from both ears is the most basic technique.

With a thought, Li Yunjing's soul slowly floated out of the cultivation room.

Having learned from his previous mistake, Li Yunjing didn't dare to continue floating upwards.

About ten steps above the cultivation room, Li Yunjing's divine soul stopped.

The two Netherworld Serpent then came into play.

Li Yunjing sensed something outside his soul.

An invisible ripple spread out, guarding its own soul.

Li Yunjing calmed his mind and activated the Soul-Guiding Nine Heavens Method.

Suddenly, starlight, drawn from the sky, slowly condensed into a tiny wisp of water, descending from the heavens and falling towards Li Yunjing's soul.

February 3rd

Departing Maple Sect

Su Zhen is currently cultivating.

But then he suddenly received a message from the Grand Elder.

Su Zhen was both shocked and furious when he saw it.

"How dare they injure people and even try to steal the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine!"

The Grand Elder of the Departing Maple Sect was sent by Su Zhen to guard the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine in Flying Dragon Ravine.

Just now, a group of cultivators claiming to have come to this Half-Spirit Valley acted completely unreasonable.

They claimed that they were the first to discover the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine.

Tell those who Departing Maple Sect to leave immediately.

The Grand Elder of the Departing Maple Sect would naturally not agree to this.

A conflict ensued between the two sides.

The forces in Half-Spirit Valley are not weak.

The disciples of the Departing Maple Sect were injured, but fortunately no one was killed.

Knowing he was no match for them, the Grand Elder sought help.

"Half-Spirit Valley... belongs to the Mysterious Dao Sect, and the Mysterious Dao Sect is at odds with the Immortal Alliance..."

Su Zhen thought about it carefully.

Mysterious Dao Sect is one of the major sects in Tianyuan.

While their overall strength is not as great as the Immortal Alliance, it's not far off.

The Mysterious Dao Sect, however, is a rising star.

They are juniors to the Immortal Alliance.

However, younger generations often like to do things that use their seniors to make a name for themselves.

The Mysterious Dao Sect was no exception.

The Immortal Alliance has been famous for a long time.

The Mysterious Dao Sect then set its sights on the Immortal Alliance.

He was thinking of confronting the Immortal Alliance, even if he couldn't defeat Immortal Alliance.

Making the Immortal Alliance suffer a setback would prove the Mysterious Dao Sect's power.

However, the Immortal Alliance has consistently ignored the Mysterious Dao Sect.

The Immortal Alliance has serious business to attend to; they don't have time for all this.

But the Mysterious Dao Sect is like a stubborn plaster, clinging to the Immortal Alliance relentlessly.

Half-Spirit Valley is a faction located far from Xunxian Town, renowned for its alchemy.

By acknowledging the Mysterious Dao Sect as his superior sect, he secured a powerful backer for himself.

Thanks to its excellent alchemy skills, Half-Spirit Valley has many followers and numerous powerful deities within its walls.

Now, Half-Spirit Valley has its sights set on the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine.

Considering the relationship between the Immortal Alliance and the Mysterious Dao Sect,

I'm afraid Half-Spirit Valley won't give up easily.

"You have powerful backers, but don't I?" Su Zhen snorted.

Without hesitation, Su Zhen immediately sought help from the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance.

At the same time, a message was sent to the Luozhen Sect informing them about the Luozhen Sect Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine.
