Wet viviparity

Chapter 794 Bitter Spring, Ancestor's Goods

"Dongshazhou, Guiyayu Island".

Black Owl nodded slightly, looking very interested.

He sighed inwardly. If his fate hadn't already been sealed, as the two generals had suggested, taking over Longwan in Dongshazhou, establishing a religious foundation, and becoming a respected figure overseas would have been a delightful thing.

Listening to the two generals' plan, Xiao Qinggu felt as if she had found a way out of a difficult situation and had great potential. She was overjoyed, but out of consideration for the dignity of the sect leader's wife, she suppressed her joy and maintained an indifferent expression, with her eyes lowered as if she were detached from worldly affairs.

On the opposite side, the old man who cried, Ma, lowered his head and pondered, already feeling the gaze of the old man who was causing trouble in the sea.

His elaborate arrangements here were not for the sake of the Little Stone Demon Cult's grand scheme. Without eliminating that Master Lingxu, no one present could remain at ease.

"Hmph! Dongshazhou? Longwan? It's just a tiny place, a place where merchants chase profits. Even if there are some rogue cultivators, they are mostly a rabble. Even if you manage to get them, you can only take their resources and become a wandering immortal overseas in the future."

A strange light shone in the old eyes of the Crying Ancestor as he stared directly at the Black Owl.

"With such talent as the leader, is he content to remain a carefree immortal overseas, at the mercy of the celestial beings?!"

"Haha, Ancestor, you know me well. May I ask what brilliant plan you have?"

Black Owl sincerely sought instruction in the Dao.

"The Liling region in the south is the real best place to go."

The area is a vast, desolate land, teeming with miasma and plague, inhabited by ancient remnants of powerful clans, unorthodox sects, and ferocious demons—a natural demonic land. More importantly…”

The old ancestor's voice suddenly rose, carrying an impassioned and seductive tone, and said: "In the land of Liling Jiuzhen, there is a Black Poison God, who is one of the original ancestral immortals of Panhu Mountain. He has always been on good terms with me. In the past, he heard about your teachings from me and greatly admired your talent."

If the Little Stone Holy Sect were to relocate to Liling, I guarantee that this immortal would willingly lend out his former sacred site of enlightenment, "Suye Water City," as the sect's headquarters. Furthermore, I will issue a decree instructing the newly reorganized Five Immortals Sect to provide various conveniences.”

A brief silence fell over the hall.

Drill Horn and Sea-Catching Generals stared intently, realizing that if the Crying Ancestor only offered these benefits, he would not be able to persuade the sect leader. The matter of relocating the sect from Ghost Tooth Island was now settled.

The two looked at Black Owl with anticipation. In their view, once the leader arrived at East Sand Island, he would rely on them even more.

Xiao Qinggu kept her eyes down, as if the dispute before her had nothing to do with her. Even though she was biased towards her master, in the face of such an important matter as the relocation of the sect, her emotions had to give way to reason.

"Zhao Chi, what's your opinion?"

Upon hearing the leader's inquiry, Zhao Chi was taken aback, not expecting to have a say. He immediately perked up and said, "It is said that the Great Calamity of Tiannan has begun. Going there at this time is tantamount to throwing oneself into a fire pit."

"Ancestor"

Black Owl called out with great regret, as if he had made up his mind.

The withered fingers of the old ancestor Kuma tapped lightly in the air, as if drawing a grand plan, and continued, "For the Little Stone Holy Sect, the land of Tiannan Liling must be a treasure trove full of rare treasures and hidden talents."

"As long as the Little Stone Demon Sect moves to Liling and uses Suye Water City as its headquarters, I, the patriarch, will surely be able to attract several highly skilled individuals to join the sect. Their abilities and wisdom far surpass those mediocre people of Longwan."

As the old ancestor spoke, he held up two fingers and said, "Flower Thread Maiden, Earth-Cleaning Granny."

He solemnly introduced her as follows: "Hua Xian Gu is a famous independent cultivator from the four regions of Lingzhong."

This woman occupies the Cold Soul Spring Marrow of Liling for three hundred miles and runs a Taoist product called "Soul-Stabilizing Ice Pill". If you can get her help, you can use this pill to help your disciples get through the final stage of swallowing ash and transforming into human form.

As for that Earth-Splitting Woman, I, your ancestor, need not elaborate further.

Xiao Qinggu covered her mouth and chuckled. She never imagined that her master would go so far as to introduce even her lover from Huangshi Village into the sect in order to win over Xiao Lang. Hei Xiao remained expressionless, but his heart was filled with shock.

It was only because that Pidipo was proud and aloof, and highly skilled in Taoism, that her art of refining corpses and exorcising ghosts was unparalleled in the south.

Furthermore, this Earth-Splitting Goddess possesses a "drought demon's remains," and the feng shui of her dwelling place, the Desolate Soul-Slaying Valley, is even more perilous than that of Mount Xi. As long as she remains within the valley, she will not even consider Yang Gods or Earth Immortals a threat.

"The Valley of Grain, which is under the jurisdiction of Master Lingxu, is adjacent to Liling!"

He glanced at the old patriarch Kuma and said indifferently, "How can the great cause of the Holy Sect be hindered by the personal grudges of one person?"

After saying those words, Black Owl actually regretted it a little. He was worried that Old Ancestor Crying Hemp would not be able to offer any more bargaining chips to persuade him, but he also had some expectations in his heart, hoping that Old Ancestor Crying Hemp still had good stuff in his pocket.

The more capable people who join the Holy Sect, and the higher their cultivation level, the more they can be considered a powerful tonic for refining the body after practicing the "Secret Record of Transformation and Mystery".

"If it weren't for Er Yatou, how could the old ancestor have thought so much about you?"

Ancestor Kuma, furious, pounded his chest and stormed off. Little Qinggu immediately got up to persuade him, and the two generals exchanged a glance and also hurriedly got up to try to persuade him, but Ancestor Kuma seemed determined to leave.

"Ancestor, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Black Owl didn't move, only uttering this sentence lightly, and the Crying Ancestor generously let the matter pass.

The Crying Ancestor paused for a moment, then unleashed his final trump card, saying, "While the two mentioned above are indeed capable individuals in the Ling region, this is still not the reason I suggested that the sect leader relocate the sect to Ling region. Do you all know... the Dog-Sealing Kingdom?"

Upon hearing this name, Black Owl finally perked up, secretly thinking that his ancestor indeed had something to offer.

Beside the ancestor, Ma Wang Xiaoshen sat up straight, and the two generals opposite him also sat up formally.

During the reign of the Yellow Emperor, it was not a time of great prosperity for humanity.

The main characters of heaven and earth at that time were called the Heavenly People. It is said that the Heavenly People had different forms and each established their own country and lived there. There were as many as thirty-six countries, but only a few have survived to this day.

The Kingdom of Dog-Sealing is one of them. Its people are half-human and half-dog, with immense strength, loyalty and bravery. It is also rumored that they have the ability to communicate with the underworld and track all spirits. Unexpectedly, in this era, they live in Liling.

"I, your ancestor, have a long-standing relationship with the current guardian dog king of the Dog Kingdom. This country has been secluded from the world for a long time, but its people possess innate secret abilities in their bodies—natural divine strength, copper teeth and iron bones, tracking and soul-locking abilities, etc. They are the perfect candidates to protect my Holy Sect."

More importantly…

The old ancestor of crying ma looked intently at the black owl and said, "In the Dog Sealing Kingdom, inside the Barking Sun Mausoleum, there is a bitter spring."

This spring is formed from the abundant rain vapor floating on the Bitter Sea in that land of Haoli. Having shed its turbidity and returned to its pure essence, it could not pour down as a torrential rain on the Bitter Sea. Instead, it was carried to the edge of the underworld and lay dormant beneath the thick soil of the tomb, thus brewing this bitter spring.

This bitter spring is a supreme treasure land for refining magic and cultivating demonic embryos, far superior to simply feeding on the blood and flesh of the dead.

If we can gain the Dog King's approval and bring a few of his people into the sect to share in this bitter spring... Master, the foundation of your Little Stone Holy Sect will immediately increase exponentially. Why worry about not soaring to the heavens and dominating the world?!
At that time, not only Dongshazhou, but the entire East Sea, and even the Xuanmen sect of the Central Plains, will have to pay homage.

After you attain enlightenment, if you wish to achieve something among the Earthly Immortals, you will need to spread your teachings among the mortals. With the help of the people of Quanfeng Kingdom, and with this bitter spring, how can you worry about the Holy Teachings not flourishing or your progress on the path not being successful?

Black Owl had no more doubts. He grabbed the old patriarch's hands and said with emotion, "For this sect leader, having the old patriarch is like a fish having water."

As soon as he finished speaking, the inner hall fell silent. A hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Drill Corner General and the Sea-Disturbing General, but they were more ignited by the bright prospects of the Little Stone Holy Sect, and their breathing became heavy.

Black Owl's vertical pupils swept over the people in the inner hall, and a tiger tail behind him lashed the ground heavily as he said, "Prepare immediately! In three days, set sail... no, set off on cloud chariots, and head to the depths of Liling, to Suye Water City."

"I will follow the master's orders!"
