Being stared at by Ying Ying’s intense gaze, even Li Ye found it sowhat hard to resist. He quickly said, "I am dedicated to the path of cultivation, and I have never intended to beco Taoist companions with anyone.
Now it is so, and it will remain so in the future.
Sister Ying Ying is my elder, please do not tease any further."
In his view, rejection should be straightforward and decisive, to avoid any ambiguous lingering issues.
As a result, Ying Ying seed to be struck by thunder, her body trembled a bit, and her lips turned sowhat pale.
"Elder..."
Ying Ying swallowed heavily, her smile more painful than crying.
"Haha... indeed."
"Taoist Friend Chen, you and I are now elders too."
Chen Mo nearly laughed out loud beside her. He knew that his Taoist friend Ying Ying was particularly sensitive about her age.
Being a mber of the Yinglong clan, she had several tis the lifespan of ordinary cultivators, yet she cared so much about age.
Others dared not ntion age in front of her.
But Li Ye was simply speaking the truth; a person in their twenties forming a Golden Core calling soone over a hundred years old in Yinglong terms, isn’t that calling her sister?
This kind of sincere but sharp-tongued words left Ying Ying with unspeakable bitterness.
Li Ye felt strange and looked at his third senior brother with a puzzled gaze, only to find that his third senior brother’s face was flushed.
Ying Ying, seeing Li Ye’s clear and confused gaze, could not hold on any longer, fearing he would ntion age again.
She quickly changed the subject:
"I just went inside to investigate."
"In there... there’s a Yang Sha."
Hearing these two words, Li Ye and the third senior brother were both stunned.
Yang Sha.
The so-called Yang Sha can also be known as "Misfortune Spirit", which is said to be the last breath exhaled by the soul of a dying person. Encountering the living, it can cause a series of troubles.
Moreover, it is said that it may even form a Misfortune God.
Such an entity ford from gathered resentnt, once it appears in a certain place, will kill all living creatures there.
As for its strength, it depends on how much resentnt has gathered—Dongcang Town... this is really a bit troubleso.
Could it be accumulating a Nascent Soul?
"This place has been polluted by the Hell Path, handled by our sect’s Divinity Transformation Ancestor with a supre treasure, how could a Misfortune God appear here."
The third senior brother looked solemn: "I need to personally investigate. Even if it’s a Misfortune God, it shouldn’t have broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, I surely have the strength to fight.
Understanding its origins is crucial for the construction of this marketplace."
Li Ye followed up saying: "I’ll go too. I’ve never seen such an entity. Since it’s ford from resentnt, the resentnt should also be usable, right?
Besides, I have brought Demon-Suppressing Tree seeds.
When you and Sister Ying Ying subdue it, I’ll plant it directly into the tree."
He took out a cloth bag, bulging with at least a thousand Demon-Suppressing Tree seeds, which made the third senior brother and Ying Ying’s eyelids twitch incessantly.
Although Demon-Suppressing Tree seeds can be obtained without limits, if taken in large numbers, like a thousand, at least eight hundred should be planted successfully to suppress demons.
Li Ye’s thousand seeds ant suppressing eight hundred demons?
An odd thought suddenly arose in their hearts; could there really be eight hundred demons here?
The cultivator’s sudden insights are always sharp.
The two imdiately raised their vigilance.
If there really are eight hundred demons...
That would be wonderful!
This would indeed be an achievent delivered to our doorstep.
...
The three soon arrived inside Dongcang Town.
Though everywhere was full of ruins, it was evident that the materials used were excellent during initial construction; even the most ordinary houses were made of red bricks from Spirit Mud.
Traces of people’s lives could still be seen, such as smoked at hanging under the eaves, a wooden horse in the courtyard, and a broken swing on a dead tree.
Li Ye had seen Dongcang Town within the Hungry Ghost Netherworld before, but at that ti, due to lack of energy, he hadn’t noticed so many details.
Upon seeing it now, his feelings were indeed very complex—this rubble and ruin was once the ho of ordinary people!
Even for cultivators, ho is of great importance. A broken family with one’s death followed by endless tornt truly represents never-ending pain.
"Alas."
The third senior brother’s eyes carried compassion: "The towns on the border were originally migrated from other places. The sect gave substantial support to help them settle here.
I also participated in the construction.
Who could have imagined sothing like this would happen.
That Hell Path is truly hateful, not daring to fight us openly, instead targeting unfortunate people behind the scenes!"
Li Ye, who had been observing nearby, intended to agree, but as his gaze shifted, he found that the panel was active—
[Na]: Mica Scorpion
[Mood]: Nervous
[State]: Surrounded by Qi of Cultivation, highly unlikely to be detected below the Nascent Soul stage.
[Bindable]: Spirit Plant with "mirror".
Mica Scorpion?
This creature is said to be an extrely rare Spirit Beast.
Because mica itself is a rare ingredient in ancient legends, which can supposedly make one light as a swallow with long-term consumption, and even ascend to immortality.
—Of course, this might be an exaggeration, but mica is indeed extrely important in the way of making Pills.
And Mica Scorpions are Spirit Beasts born naturally from mica, possessing a unique aura of mica essence, enabling them to hide in any environnt.
Not even the Divine Sense at the Golden Core level can detect them, but their strength is extrely weak, as even soone at the Foundation Establishnt can crush them with a cloth shoe.
