"Absolutely perfect!"
"What do you think, Brother Qiu?"
"..."
"..."
Chen Qiu remained expressionless and silent for a long ti before he softly said, "A female demon? Do you really need to debase yourself so much for cultivation? Can you really bring yourself to do it?"
"I can't."
Fat Long suddenly cald down, his expression distant as he looked through the gap in the temple roof at the stars above: "How could I bring myself to do it? Just thinking about those shells, that viscous liquid, those terrifying mouthparts, I can't bring myself to do it."
"I'm a human, not a re savage beast."
"How could I see a hole and be able to do it?"
"Especially when I think about those demons even having eaten people, I feel utterly nauseated."
"But then..."
"What can be done about it?"
"eting you, Brother Qiu, was my opportunity, but as your cultivation advances faster and faster, I can't keep holding you back, can I? Scholar and the others have all found their places in Chao Tian Sect, while I, Fat Long, though self-proclaid as the Great Elder of Chao Tian Sect, am utterly useless."
"People need to realize their value, no one wants to be an unknown waste forever."
"Moreover, I, Fat Long, even vainly hope to soday achieve the Nascent Soul, how could I live under others' protection all my life?"
"So——"
"Even if I can't bring myself to do it, even if I feel utterly disgusted, even if I am nauseated to the extre, and even if misunderstood by the world, I still have to force myself to do it."
"Just consider it... slaying demons and eliminating devils."
"It would also count as a service to the people."
"...."
Chen Qiu remained expressionless and silent, actually wanting to retort right then why you have to portray this matter as if you were going to sacrifice yourself for so unattainable ideal.
But seeing Fat Long's serious deanor, he held his tongue, not wanting to discourage Fat Long.
A mont later, he still gave a slight nod and said.
"Okay."
...
Soon, the sun had risen halfway into the sky.
It was already noon.
Chen Qiu slowly woke up from a room in the sky-character room of an inn in Kai Mountain City. He had not practiced and rested well the previous night, having slept rather sweetly, having already decided to continue sleeping in the disciple dormitory of Chao Tian Sect in the small world the night before.
But...
Chao Tian Sect was really too shabby.
It was not at all comfortable to sleep there, so in the latter part of the night, they entered the city and went to an inn. The sky-character room was far more comfortable than the stone beds in the disciple dormitory.
After getting up and sitting on the bed to circulate his ntal thod, expelling all the turbid air and external impurities from his body, Chen Qiu then opened his eyes, playing with a token in his hand.
This token was found yesterday in the third Storage Ring on the workshop owner of Ask Heaven Market.
When he saw this token.
He knew why the workshop owner of Ask Heaven Market had only those 2,000-odd Spirit Stones on him.
Most likely, most of the Spirit Stones had been used to buy this token.
'Fiery Fla Seven Killings Array'
'Golden Core Mid-grade Array Plate, capable of slaying a fifth layer Golden Core cultivator when activated.'
"Damn it..."
Chen Qiu was playing with the token in his hand, his expression distant as he looked out the window, now recalling that he had had a close brush with death back then, it was just that he had acted too quickly, and Ask Heaven Market had not reacted in ti.
Otherwise, once the Array Plate was activated.
Even if it was just activated and its power had not yet reached its peak, it would still be enough to kill him!
It was just a bit too lucky. If there had been even the slightest error, he wouldn't have seen tomorrow's sun. Now this good thing belonged to him.
He wondered why the workshop owner of Ask Heaven Market had spent so much to purchase this Array Plate.
