Fairy, help me cultivate.

Li Huonan shook his head: "I have other things to attend to, so I won't take up any more of your time. Farewell!"

After saying that, he strode away and casually smashed the thatched door of the tavern with a single palm strike.

It was clear that he was extremely frustrated and annoyed.

After a while, Qingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew Uncle White Shark could get this done for me."

Jiang Baisha took the ice jade box from his hand but handed it to Chen Yao.

"What is this for?"

The breeze picked up a bit.

Jiang Baisha glared at him: "Do you know why the Ancestor won't accept you as a disciple?"

Qingfeng seemed to think that Jiang Baisha was making him lose face by asking such a question, so he looked at Chen Yao and said awkwardly, "Isn't it because I'm ugly... none of the fairies in my family want me?"

Jiang Baisha shook his head and chuckled: "Qingfeng, you can't stay stagnant forever. The Jiang family can't keep cleaning up your messes forever!"

Qingfeng shrank back, not daring to say anything more.

Jiang Baisha sighed: "Our ancestor never judges people by their appearance. If he really wanted to take you into his family, where wouldn't he find a junior from a clan willing to become your Daoist partner? The real reason is that you are impatient and frivolous. Think about it carefully."

Qingfeng lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

After Jiang Baisha finished teaching Qingfeng a lesson, Chen Yao looked at the ice jade box in his hand and asked, "Why are you giving it to me?"

Jiang Baisha was much more polite to Chen Yao: "Getting things from the Li family is nothing special. The real test begins now."

"What kind of test?"

Chen Yao carefully examined the scales in the jade box and found that they had turned much redder, and the center was even more like a flame.

“Since you say you want to test Brother Yu’s character, then these snake scales naturally have related effects,” Jiang Baisha glared at Qingfeng, who looked unwilling. “To be honest, these snake scales are currently poisonous. If they are not purified, using them will damage your foundation. Now, we need to go to the Ice Cave in Xiaokun Mountain to remove the fire poison from them.”

"Does this mean that the poison on these snake scales can infect me even through the ice jade box?"

Chen Yao guessed that was the case, otherwise Jiang Baisha would not have needed to hand over the ice jade box to him.

“Indeed, this is the treacherous nature of Li Huonan’s intentions. But rest assured, Brother Yu, this fire poison is quite peculiar. As long as you don’t use the snake scales, it won’t harm your body; it will only affect your mind. With me here, even if you can’t withstand it along the way, it won’t matter. I can guarantee that.”

Jiang Baisha's gaze was firm, clearly indicating that he was very confident.

Chen Yao thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Then let's go to Xiaokunshan as soon as possible!"

These words were exactly what Qingfeng wanted to hear, and he was even more eager to heal his injuries as soon as possible.

Jiang Baisha nodded, took out a spirit jade pendant as payment for the wine, and led the two out of the inn.

As the three of them arrived at Xinghuawu in Xingmei Village, the surrounding apricot trees swayed without any wind.

Chen Yao felt a chill run down his spine and kept his eyes peeled for anything he could see.

Jiang Baisha suddenly smiled irritably: "Hey girl, why aren't you coming out? When have you ever scared me?"

A soft moan came from the apricot grove, and a radiant mature woman emerged. It was Jiang Bailin, whom Chen Yao had met at the restaurant in Luling City that day.

Jiang Bailin's beautiful eyes swept over the three of them, finally settling on Chen Yao, and she said with a smile, "We meet again!"

She frowned again, pointed at Jiang Baisha with her delicate, orchid-like finger, and said, "Why are you hanging out with him? Come with me!"

This left not only Chen Yao bewildered, but even Jiang Baisha looked puzzled.

But Jiang Baisha quickly composed himself, and scolded with a hint of indulgence: "How rude! This Brother Yu is a distinguished guest of the Jiang family! Besides, now that you have completed the task assigned to you, you should immediately go do what you are supposed to do. What are you doing lingering here?"

Although Jiang Bailin was beautiful, she was somewhat willful. Hearing her brother's words, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "I'll make my own decisions. I'm not leaving!"

Jiang Baisha didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, so he rode his flying boat and took Chen Yao and Qingfeng into the sky.

The wind howled below, the flying boat sank, and Jiang Bailin landed heavily, deliberately standing next to Chen Yao. The fragrant breeze wafted from her trembling chest, teasing Chen Yao's nose.

"Go down!"

Jiang Baisha scolded.

Jiang Bailin chuckled and replied decisively, "No way!"

She rolled her eyes and snorted at her brother: "You always assign me this boring killing job. It's just the heads of ten low-level female cultivators. It's really tedious!"

Hearing her say that, Chen Yao guessed that she had sneaked into the Li residence last night and killed ten people around Li Huonan, which was why she had intimidated him.

Understanding this, his gaze towards Jiang Bailin became more solemn.

Jiang Bailin seemed to have guessed his thoughts and smiled at him: "Come with me! You'll master this kind of killing technique in three years!"

Chen Yao was genuinely tempted.

“Nonsense, Brother Yu, you mustn’t be so presumptuous,” Jiang Baisha coldly rebuked again.

Jiang Bailin complained, "It's not easy to find someone with such a strong killing intent! I don't care, I'm going to follow you."

Jiang Baisha waved his sleeve and ignored her, but it seemed that he had tacitly agreed to let her follow the group.

Jiang Bailin simply grabbed Chen Yao's arm and plopped down on the gunwale of the flying boat.

Her soft, rounded buttocks pressed against Chen Yao, the rough surface of the ship's railing pressing against him, and her rich body fragrance made Chen Yao's mind wander.

He unconsciously moved closer to Jiang Bailin, and Jiang Bailin also moved closer to him, their eyes equally hazy.

It wasn't until Chen Yao's nose touched Jiang Bailin's delicate and smooth nose that the two of them were startled and quickly separated.

At this moment, Jiang Baisha and Qingfeng heard the noise and turned around. They saw the two of them looking down at one side awkwardly. They were puzzled, but since their minds were on Xiaokun Mountain, they didn't ask any questions and quickly turned back to their heads.

Chen Yao now understood that it was the snake scales that had affected his and Jiang Bailin's minds.

Jiang Bailin understood, of course. He secretly glanced at his brother's back and snorted, "What kind of worthless thing did you take!"

Chen Yao could only manage a wry smile.

Jiang Bailin glared at him with her beautiful eyes and gently poked him with her slender finger: "I'm warning you! If you try to use this as an excuse to harass me next time, I'll kick you down!"

?

"Who made a fuss with you?"

Chapter 120 Do you want to call me aunt too?

Seeing Jiang Bailin's annoyed eyes, Chen Yao was too lazy to say anything more to her. While silently circulating the "Dongling Miaoxuan Qingxin Jue" to purify his mind and reduce desires, he carefully examined the snake scales in the jade box in his arms.

Seeing that he was ignoring her, Jiang Bailin took the initiative to talk to Chen Yao instead.

"This snake scale has an extraordinary origin, mainly because it came from the mouth of the Fire Brocade Serpent in Trap Cave Mountain."

"Fire-Brocade Serpent?"

Chen Yao had only been to Jiujiang once and was not very familiar with its local customs, geography, and wonders.

"The Fire Brocade Serpent has nearly nine hundred years of cultivation, and its fire magic is so powerful that even Nascent Soul cultivators have to avoid its edge. It can be said to be the patriarch of fire-attribute serpents and pythons in the South China Sea."

Upon hearing Jiang Bailin's words, Chen Yao's heart stirred.

The Three Purple Fire-Swallowing Python is also of the fire attribute. Could it enhance its strength and achieve further advancement by devouring the scales of the Fire Brocade Serpent?

If the Fire Brocade Serpent is truly as powerful as described, then the Three Purple Fire-Swallowing Python might be able to reach the Golden Core stage.

At this moment, the speeding airship emerged from the sea of ​​clouds, where the sunlight shone brightly. A gust of hot wind stirred up wisps of mist, causing the airship to lurch a few times before disappearing back into the sea of ​​clouds.

Jiang Baisha loosened his hand seal, looked around suspiciously, and only after finding nothing unusual did he return to a relaxed posture.

Jiang Bailin seemed particularly interested in Chen Yao, nudging him with his elbow: "Hey, you're only at the Foundation Establishment stage, how come you have such a strong killing intent?"

Chen Yao still doesn't understand the meaning behind her murderous intent, and can only say, "I'm a fairly kind person!"

Jiang Bailin chuckled: "This has nothing to do with personality, but with how many powerful people you've killed. The killing intent emanating from you is so intense, almost on par with the Ancestor's, as if you've killed quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators. It's really quite strange."

Chen Yao was surprised that she could see through it. She felt a chill in her heart, but smiled calmly on the surface.

"However, let alone Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, even Golden Core stage cultivators couldn't kill so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators. The world is vast and full of wonders, and where there are wonders, there are bound to be opportunities."

As he spoke, Jiang Bailin's gaze toward Chen Yao became intense.

Chen Yao was taken aback.

Good heavens, she's treating me like a rare treasure!

"This... um, what's this killing intent you're talking about?"

He asked tentatively.

Jiang Bailin smiled and said, "Want to learn? I'll teach you! I'm not bragging, but I'm afraid I'm the only one in the entire South China Sea who can teach you."

Chen Yao was slightly relieved: "In other words, only you have the ability to see through the murderous intent in a person."

Jiang Bailin nodded, the silver hairpin in his hair gleaming.

Another gust of hot wind swept in, causing the flying boat to rock violently.

"arrive!"

Jiang Baisha reminded the group to stabilize the flying boat and land on a small hill surrounded by bamboo and trees.

After the flying boat shrank and was stored in his hand, he said to the group, "The Ice Cave is located beneath the small pool."

Following his pointing, Chen Yao indeed saw a small, oily, black pool among the bamboo trees.

The water in the pool is not actually black; it appears black due to the excessive humus at the bottom.

Qingfeng took the lead, cast a water-avoidance spell, and was about to enter the water when Jiang Baisha pulled him back.

"Your simple water-avoidance technique is completely useless. This small pool is connected to a thousand-year-old ice wall. Going in like this will surely freeze you to death on the spot!"

Qingfeng was stunned by Jiang Baisha's words.

Jiang Baisha took out an orange-yellow inkstone from his bosom and said to Chen Yao, "Please, Brother Yu, open the ice jade box and release the snake scales."

Chen Yao guessed that this was another test, so he first activated the "Dongling Xuanmiao Qingxin Jue" before opening the ice jade box.

The fire scale in the box let out a whoosh and was about to fly away, but Jiang Baisha was prepared and caught it with an orange-yellow inkstone.

The fire scales struggled for a long time, but unable to escape, they stopped moving around. However, the hot wind around them seemed to be a tangible force, stirring the robes of the four people, making the heat unbearable.

"You must not leave my side by more than three feet."

Jiang Baisha reminded the three of the inkstone that bound the fire scales with one hand, while his fingertips repeatedly made hand seals and injected them into the inkstone.

A warm, orange-yellow aura floated out from the inkstone, enveloping the four people.
