Chapter 299 - 297: Demonic Affairs in Chunshui Country

Chapter 299: Chapter 297: Demonic Affairs in Chunshui Country

Inside the Profound Mansion.

Xuan Jingzhong came in and waited for Xuan Jingxiao to wake up.

"Big Brother, how are you?"

When Xuan Jingxiao woke up, he felt much more relaxed all over. "Oof, that Doctor Bai really is something else."

"I feel like my back is so much better."

"Doctor Bai said you need to rest quietly for half a month."

Xuan Jingxiao nodded. "Rest is rest, but some villain is plotting in the shadows. I must investigate."

"Big Brother, let me investigate for you first."

"I’ll have to trouble you then, Second Brother."

...

——

"It’s actually reproducing."

"What the hell!"

Su Qing saw the Earth Great Immortals in his Acupoint World.

This Earth Great Immortal had actually started to reproduce, turning from one piece of soil infused with a hint of Immortal Qi into two.

’But this is dangerous.’

In about a day, it had already doubled.

What about in a hundred days?

to the 100th power was a terrifying thought.

Su Qing thought for a moment.

’Can’t let them go to waste!’

He used the Great Dao Wheel on one of the Earth Great Immortals in his Micro Acupoint Great World.

Although its Immortal Transformation was powerful, the Great Dao Wheel still had some effect on the multiply-synthesized Earth Great Immortal, as Su Qing’s own ability was a Great Dao Divine Technique.

But the process was slow. It took Su Qing a long time grinding with the Great Dao Wheel to finally wear down one Earth Great Immortal.

It increased his lifespan by half a year.

"Holy crap, a lifespan power bank!"

Su Qing was also stunned by this development. A single Earth Great Immortal had given him half a year of lifespan.

What about ten thousand of them?

A number that could be reached in just over ten days of reproduction.

This was too good. With the Great Dao Wheel, he could obliterate all of them at once.

He just had to be careful. If the Earth Great Immortals reproduced too quickly, they would rupture his Micro Acupoint Great World in a little over a month.

’Now is the time to continue improving my aptitude.’

Su Qing made a quick Inference. There definitely wouldn’t be any trouble within this month.

Those two guys with the surname Xuan still wouldn’t dare reveal their identities.

’That’s right.’

This was exactly the effect Su Qing wanted.

Su Qing then began to synthesize Spirit Fruits and refine them.

Su Qing had more or less anticipated this step.

But he hadn’t accounted for the Demon Race and the Yao Race.

.....

.....

"One of my curses has been broken." On the border of Chunshui Country, a Second Realm Yao Race member was communicating with another entity—a snake-type from the Demon Race of the Demon Realm.

One was a wolf, the other a snake.

Both were in the Second Realm.

"That useless Prince hasn’t been exposed, has he?"

If they wanted to control this Mortal Realm, they absolutely could not alert Wangyue Valley.

Otherwise, the few of them, along with the group of Demon Race members under their command, would surely meet a terrible end.

"Hmph. Useless or not, he’s still a chess piece. We must be more cautious and put that Prince on the throne."

"So what’s your plan?"

"Isn’t the Emperor still alive?"

"We just need to speed things up a bit."

"What about the one who broke your curse?"

"Tch! Any Human Race Cultivator with a few tricks up their sleeve could break a curse like that. It’s irrelevant. They won’t be a major obstacle."

...

Su Qing refined another Spirit Fruit.

His luck had been exceptionally good lately. He was getting five or six Spirit Fruits with Standardization a day, and he hadn’t even finished refining them all.

So he had been constantly refining Spirit Fruits.

At the same time, he didn’t forget to synthesize more Spirit Fruits on the side.

「A week later.」

By now, Su Qing’s Cyan Lotus Immortal Infant Technique was gaining 3 Skill Level points per day.

One could imagine how grueling every day was for Su Qing.

He was refining and synthesizing Spirit Fruits at the same time.

He also had to take Healing Pills to alleviate the pain.

It was all for the sake of faster Cultivation.

And yet, it was still too slow.

His Nascent Soul Realm had, however, advanced to the Second-Layer Nascent Soul.

——

Divine Organ Realm [Five Elements Immortal Lotus Scripture: First Organ (26/1000)]

Second-Layer Nascent Soul [God Demon Cyan Lotus Immortal Infant Technique: Entry Level (25.98/500)]

——

"It’s still too slow."

Su Qing would only be satisfied with a hundred points of progress a day.

At a hundred a day, it would still take 65 days to reach Perfection.

That translated to over two months’ time.

Su Qing grew anxious. He was worried that he wouldn’t achieve Technique Perfection in time for the upcoming Secret Realm in Moon God Palace.

Otherwise, he would have to wait until next year.

’Absolutely not!’

With his heart set, Su Qing’s Talent, the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, and his Power of the Soul went into a frenzy.

He continuously took out Spirit Fruits from his Storage Ring to synthesize.

He also kept refining them.

The Synthesizer’s synthesis took almost no time at all.

As long as Su Qing’s reactions were fast enough to see whether the synthesized Spirit Fruit had the Standardization to improve his aptitude, it was fine.

His synthesis speed instantly tripled.

...

「The next evening.」

Li Qingsha was heavily injured and fleeing for her life.

An arrow had pierced her through the heart. Her face was deathly pale, but she forced herself to stay conscious. She had to escape the city!

But before she knew it, she had arrived at Su Qing’s doorstep.

And then, devoid of strength, energy, and spirit, she collapsed.

Su Qing was definitely aware of her. The Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart wouldn’t allow his spiritual perception to be blocked.

Instead, he scanned the surroundings.

’It’s this woman again.’

’Dying on my doorstep, how unlucky!’

Annoyed, Su Qing stopped his synthesis.

If this Li Qingsha had died somewhere else, Su Qing definitely wouldn’t have saved her.

Of course, the only reason he was saving her was because he felt like it. If he wanted to save someone, he would!

There were no other complicated thoughts; it was all decided in a single moment’s whim.

"Demonic Qi."

’Demon Race or Demon Cultivator?’ Su Qing silently extended his senses.

With the Power of the Soul of a Fifth Realm expert, he easily scanned the entirety of Chunshui Country.

Yao Race and Demon Fiends.

’Wangyue Valley, what the hell does your Sect even do? How can you let a Mortal Realm be infiltrated like this and not lift a finger?’

Su Qing was dumbfounded. There were several Second Realm members of the Yao Race and Demon Fiends.

And quite a few First Realm Demon Fiends had appeared in Chunshui Country as well.

The Emperor was dead, and there was a Prince whose body was reeking with the aura of Demon Fiends.

It was about to become a nation of demons.

Su Qing gave the girl’s injuries a quick fix, then unceremoniously dumped her back on the street.

He also erased the bloodstains and Li Qingsha’s scent.

This way, the Yao Race wouldn’t be able to find her. He let her lie on the ground to "cool off"—Su Qing held a grudge.

After that, he sent a message to Wangyue Valley.

And with that, Su Qing washed his hands of the matter.

He continued his seclusion in Chunshui Country.

In this way, Su Qing didn’t have to act personally, achieving his goal of resolving the issue cleanly without getting entangled in trouble.

——

「Early morning.」

The street was cool.

The young woman’s face was pressed against the ground—a truly indecent posture. Suddenly, her eyes snapped open.

She realized she seemed to be on a road.

It was still the same bluestone-paved ground.

She suddenly sat up and felt herself all over.

But the pain in her body was completely gone.

Even her clothes seemed to have been changed.

There was no smell of blood, either.

She looked around in astonishment.

On the street... in front of that bastard’s house?

She suddenly remembered. That night, she had been severely injured and had no idea where she was fleeing.

She was just following her instincts.

"Did he save me?" Li Qingsha fell silent, but then she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He had even changed her clothes, yet he still left her lying on the ground by the side of the road.

It was obvious he was still angry with her. But her clothes... had been changed.

’He really is a lecher!’ she cursed viciously in her heart. She couldn’t think of any other words to describe Su Qing.

But Li Qingsha knew how to distinguish a life-saving favor.

She didn’t know what happened yesterday. A large number of soldiers had appeared and surrounded Chunshui Country. As a mere constable, she had been on the front lines, and just when her Magical Power was depleted, an arrow had pierced her chest.

She had no choice but to flee immediately.

Thankfully, she was still alive. But for her injuries to disappear so quickly... it was just too fast, wasn’t it?

That guy, Bai Qing, must be a Cultivator, or maybe a reclusive one!

’I wonder if I can ask him to be my master.’
