Calabash Fairy

The value of a battlefield relic where a divine artifact like the Pure Yang Sword Blade once appeared is self-evident, but the dangers involved must also be considered.

"Opportunities and risks..."

After a moment's thought, Fang Yan placed the eagle feather into a jade box and sealed it away for the time being.

If this time the ruins have truly left the void and are now bordering the area in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, then there is no need for him to rush there.

Qi Lian said that most of those monstrous beasts had the strength of a great demon with two to three thousand years of cultivation. If they appeared in groups, it would be quite troublesome for him.

Furthermore, the interior of the ruins differs from the outside world, with a complex and ever-changing environment.

Therefore, exploring historical sites requires thorough preparation, as the case of the four people from Qilian serves as a cautionary tale...

Although he has now mastered four of the Earthly Fiend Techniques, his offensive skills are all in swordsmanship, and he believes that his skills are less varied than those of other cultivators who practice a wide range of spells.

Moreover, his second Chaos Seed has already been completely condensed...

A glint flashed in Fang Yan's eyes as he sat cross-legged.

Within the chaotic space of his body, a pale white bone, faintly shimmering with starlight, was rapidly descending towards the point of chaos floating beside the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams diagram.

The moment the two came into contact, a dazzling nebula burst forth.

Deep within the star cluster, the Big Dipper seems to radiate dazzling starlight; amidst the countless drifting stardust, something is brewing...

Not far away, the golden pure yang energy surrounding the Pure Yang Sword also spread out, as if welcoming a new friend.

.............................

Inside the Ten Thousand Mountains, atop a towering peak that pierces the clouds.

Several enormous eagle demons were flying around the young man on the mountaintop, sending him messages.

"Iwa Valley... Long River Mountain... These places have valuable spiritual materials, right? Okay, I understand."

A moment later, Qilian watched the eagle demons leave and murmured:

"Fortunately, even though they have become demons, we can still use the secret techniques of the Hundred Beasts Sect. With the help of these eagle demons, searching for spiritual materials will definitely be much easier."

"Perhaps I should venture deeper into the Ten Thousand Mountains..."

As Qi Lian spoke, a pair of eagle wings suddenly spread out behind him, and with the flapping of the wings, a gust of wind was stirred up, carrying him away from this place.

....................................

Qiu'er returned to the village and spent a few days with her grandmother. Afterward, she made some pastries and took them to Qingfeng Mountain.

Before long, she arrived at the stone pool halfway up the mountain and saw the four demons gathered there.

"Here it comes!"

As a clear and pleasant girl's voice rang out, Qiu'er's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over to look at Tu Duo'er, who was as beautiful as a cloud.

"Dor~ You can talk now!"

Rabbit Doll's ears twitched, but before she could reply, another clear voice came from not far away.

"What's so strange about that? We've all consumed the Glazed Spirit Liquid bestowed by our master, so refining our transverse bones is a piece of cake."

Qiu'er turned her head and saw Hei Yan standing on a rock by the pool, speaking quite proudly.

She couldn't help but smile and nodded, saying:

"Okay, okay, I know you guys are the best~"

Back when her master was still alive, he had taken her all the way to the outskirts of Qingfeng Mountain to witness firsthand how the demon race fought and hunted cunningly.

To be honest, the first time she saw blood and internal organs being torn apart and sprayed out, she had nightmares for several nights when she was only thirteen years old. It wasn't until later that she gradually got used to it.

Her master had said that if she wanted to walk the path to immortality, she would have to go through these things sooner or later.

The world of cultivators is far from peaceful and tranquil; danger is ever-present, and spells and magical treasures are all means of protection.

Therefore, when Su Xueyi left, she not only let Qiu'er experience a bloody life-and-death battle, but also let her stay by Yang Sheng's side to observe and learn.

Su Xueyi did this so that Yang Sheng could teach her that people's hearts are complicated and that she should have at least a basic sense of caution when facing others.

However, the four little demons on Qingfeng Mountain are completely different.

The other demons she had seen were often mixed with violent and monstrous demonic energy, but these four on the mountain were quite spiritual.

Especially Da Huang, Qiu'er witnessed this guy transform from a wild mountain dog demon into the increasingly handsome creature he is today.

"These are some new pastries I made today. I found some other ingredients while I was out and about and added them in. They taste pretty good."

"Here, everyone, have a taste!"

As Qiu'er spoke, she opened the food box behind her and distributed the pastries inside to the four little demons.

Rabbit Duo'er stood on her hind legs, picked up the white, round, glutinous cake placed in front of her with her two white rabbit paws, raised it towards the bright moon in the sky, and her eyes sparkled with starlight.

No matter what was placed in front of it, Big Yellow swallowed it whole. Qiu'er had also prepared a lot of bone-shaped pastries for it.

Xuan Shui and Hei Yan leisurely savored their food while chatting with Qiu'er.

"Didn't our master bestow two talismans upon the villagers at the foot of the mountain to send you to fetch salt? Judging from your appearance when you returned the other day, the journey must have gone quite smoothly?"

"Hey~ That's natural. Not to mention those monsters, even the wild beasts in the mountains and forests all give way when they sense the power of the mountain god's incense."

Qiu'er chuckled smugly and carefully took out a folded yellow talisman from her waist.

"The village chief said that I am the only cultivator in the village. One of the divine talismans bestowed by the mountain god will be enshrined in the village chief's house, while I will keep the other one for now. I will need it when I go to Iron Casting Village in a few days."

Xuan Shui looked at the incense talisman with awe and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Among the most widely circulated cultivation arts in the cultivation world, the alchemy and talisman arts, which everyone desires and are ranked at the forefront, have already been mastered by their own master.

Especially in the path of alchemy, the master has come a long way; the title of alchemy master is well-deserved.

It revered not the talisman itself, but its master's talent and understanding.

Just like the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Heaven.

The most remarkable thing is not the diagram itself, but the ability to comprehend the innate Bagua.

Those with the right affinity and the right understanding can attain enlightenment in a single day; those without the right affinity and the right understanding will find it all in vain, even if they sit in meditation for thousands or thousands of years.

................................

Beyond the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Late at night, in the ancient city of Yuxia Kingdom.

A group of underworld officials dressed in yamen runners were slowly walking out of the city gate. The leader of the underworld officials turned around and said:

"Six years from now will be the City God's millennium birthday. At that time, many local deities and immortal masters from under your rule will come to offer their congratulations and gifts."

"But before that, we need to send out the birthday banquet invitations as soon as possible."

"This matter is of utmost importance; there must be no mistakes!"

"yes!"

As the many underworld messengers left to carry out their orders, the area in front of the ancient ferry city gates, which had been closed, soon became empty again.

Not long after, a figure dressed in white robes appeared out of thin air outside the city gate under the moonlight.
