Calabash Fairy

Fang Yan was speechless for a moment, he really hadn't expected this to happen.

However, Fang Yan had no intention of making things difficult for them. He complied with the two ghost messengers' request and left a wisp of incense smoke in the dark Yin token they handed him. The two ghost messengers were very grateful and then took their leave.

"The incense offerings are becoming increasingly prosperous..."

Fang Yan stood in front of the temple gate for a moment, then opened his palm, and a small golden seal appeared in his hand.

The landscape of Qingfeng Mountain, engraved on the Mountain God Seal, is indeed clearer than before, with rays of light flowing across it.

"With so many incense offerings and sacrifices, it's as if the Qingfeng Secret Realm has expanded by another three zhang, and the Mountain God Seal is also showing signs of an impending transformation..."

A smile appeared on Fang Yan's lips. He waved his hand to put away the Mountain God Seal, then turned to look at the once verdant mountains and babbling rivers. As the heavy snowflakes gently fell, they had now become a vast expanse of white, blending with the sky and earth.

The beautiful scenery of this first snowfall made him somewhat reluctant to leave...

"Cultivation should involve a balance of tension and relaxation; that's what everyone says."

Fang Yan smiled freely, then simply flicked his sleeves and sat down on the ground. He took out a wine cup and wine pot made of blue jade, filled a cup with the newly opened Phoenix Spirit Wine, and drank alone while facing the snowy landscape.

Fang Yan sat there for a whole day, until the sky gradually darkened and the heavy snow showed no sign of stopping. Suddenly, Fang Yan showed a surprised expression, stood up, and looked in the northwest direction.

Suddenly, several demonic auras appeared over there, having entered the territory of Qingfeng Mountain and heading towards it.

"A familiar demonic aura... Is that... the leopard demon from the White Tiger Cave?"

"Why did these guys suddenly come here? Did they run into some trouble? But their breathing is steady, they don't seem injured..."

Fang Yan closed his eyes slightly, summoned the power of the earth's veins, and his figure instantly transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light and disappeared. The next moment, he appeared in front of the leopard demons.

"Who is it?!"

Several fairies pushing carts, their expressions extremely wary, sensed an aura suddenly appear in front of them. Their eyes flashed with ferocity, but they were only surprised and delighted when they saw the newcomer's face clearly.

"The Second King!!"

The leopard demon's last remaining crystal blue left eye revealed surprise. It quickly signaled the group of lesser demons behind it to put down their steel forks and knives, and together they knelt down on one knee before Fang Yan, shouting in unison.

"Leopard Two, it looks like your injuries have fully healed."

Leopard Two was the name Jun Heng gave to this nine-hundred-year-old leopard demon. After being defeated by Jun Heng, this leopard had been following him around. As the second-in-command of White Tiger Cave, it was given the name Leopard Two.

"Thanks to your miraculous medicine, Second King, we are all cured!"

Leopard Two stood up, grinned, revealing two rows of sharp, white teeth, quite similar to Jun Heng's.

This could be considered, in a sense, a resemblance to someone else...

Fang Yan chuckled and nodded, his gaze immediately falling on the cart of spiritual materials being pushed by the group of lesser demons. Seeing this, Leopard Two quickly explained:

"Second King, this is the offering we have prepared for you!"

"After the King left, he said he would leave the White Tiger Cave to me, but I thought, even though the King is gone, there is still the Second King here, so I prepared these offerings to send to you!"

Fang Yan was speechless upon hearing this, never expecting that this leopard demon would genuinely treat him as a tribute to the second king of the White Tiger Cave...

Among the demon race, the strong are revered. On the day of the battle at White Tiger Cave, Jun Heng killed the old wolf king with a single sword. He also told the little demons in the cave about how Jun Heng was a close friend of Jun Heng's. As a result, Jun Heng naturally became the second king.

I've heard some demons say privately that Shuyu is one of the three kings, but there's a lot of debate about whether this title is truly valid...

Fang Yan looked at the cart full of "offerings," which truly contained everything imaginable: spiritual herbs, spiritual flowers, spiritual ores, and so on, piled together, their multicolored spiritual light flashing continuously, as dazzling as the aurora borealis.

No wonder these people were so vigilant the whole way...

And he can use most of these spiritual materials...

Fang Yan pondered for a moment, then looked at Leopard Two, whose face showed a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.

"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

Upon hearing this, Leopard Two's eyes lit up, and he quickly said:

"Yes, Second King!"

Fang Yan nodded slightly, his figure enveloped in a yellowish-brown light, and disappeared once again.

Leopard Two was filled with anticipation.

If the Second King is willing to accept these offerings, it means he is willing to protect them!

Before long, Fang Yan reappeared, carrying several stone jars on a gentle breeze to the little demons, and said with a smile:

"I accept the offerings. Take these things. In the jar, the blue one is Spirit Nourishing Powder, which is good for cultivation; the Water Purification Pill can detoxify; and the green one is Emerald Spirit Ointment, your king's favorite healing medicine."

Upon hearing this, Leopard Two nodded quickly, signaling the little demons who had been eagerly watching him to accept the gifts. He then knelt down on one knee again and loudly proclaimed:

"Thank you for the reward, Second King!!"

Seeing this, the little demons quickly followed, their words of gratitude ringing out.

They had all experienced firsthand how effective the medicine in the hands of the Second King was! When the demons of White Tiger Cave were injured, they would usually swallow herbs or elixirs directly, or grind them into powder and apply them to the wound.

If the injuries are too severe after this procedure, whether the patient survives is entirely up to fate.

However, after the battle at White Tiger Cave, the effects of the spiritual medicines bestowed by this person far exceeded their expectations. Many of the lesser demons were reluctant to use them and kept some to save their lives.

Besides these spiritual herbs, there are also elixirs that can enhance cultivation and detoxify. Since they were brought out by the Second King, they must be good things!

With a flick of his sleeve, Fang Yan caused a yellowish-brown light to quickly cover the cart, which then vanished without a trace. He used the power of the earth's veins to transport it back to Qingfeng Mountain.

"Alright, take these things back to White Tiger Cave. If you need anything in the future, you can send someone to find me here."

"Leopard Two, I see you are not far from a thousand years of cultivation. Remember not to be impatient. The tribulation you will face when you break through to become a Great Demon is extremely dangerous. You still need to accumulate strength before making a breakthrough."

"Yes! Leopard Two understands!"

Fang Yan nodded slightly, activated the power of the earth's veins, and his figure disappeared.

He was well aware of what these little demons were thinking. Demons often relied on places rich in spiritual energy for cultivation, as was the case with White Horse Ravine and White Tiger Cave.

These places not only produce a large amount of spiritual materials, but also accelerate cultivation. They often become battlegrounds for these materials, and are frequently occupied by ancient demons.

Now that Junheng has left, White Tiger Cave is without a powerful demon for a while, and the lesser demons are also feeling uncertain.

Leopard Two, that little devil, truly wanted to protect the White Tiger Cave left by Jun Heng; he truly wanted to be filial to him; and he truly sought his attitude and protection.

Since he had been entrusted by his friend, he naturally didn't mind providing shelter for these little demons to the best of his ability.
