Chapter 2423 The Alarmed Sect
Li Yuan recalled: "Yes, there was a great immortal in Wushan who was indeed skilled in soul magic."
He knew far more information than Shangguan Biao, and could easily verify whether the kid was telling the truth.
"Someone offered a Blood Dew Golden Pill to the First Shore Immortal, and after taking it, his soul injury was healed in less than half a year," Shangguan Biao said solemnly. "The original plant of that Wind Dew Golden Lotus is still in the Great Return Sect. The one in the Shangguan family is its descendant, which we obtained by chance. I am not just recounting this without evidence; these past events are all verifiable in the Great Return Sect."
He had only recently decided to join Li Yun's side, and after a few more words, he regained some of his original straightforwardness.
Shangguan Biao glanced at him, deciding not to argue with him for the time being.
What level of immortal is the First Shore Immortal? Even he needed to go into seclusion for a hundred years to heal, so how severe must his soul be?
If the Blood Dew Golden Pill can truly help him repair his soul injury within six months, it will undoubtedly be incredibly effective.
With the endorsement of the Immortal of the First Shore, this story is far more credible than any legend of a stubborn rock becoming an immortal. And as Shangguan Biao said, it's easy to verify.
How can I make the golden lotus condense blood dew?
"It won't be easy. I need to go home first to discuss it with my family and make some preparations," Shangguan Biao said solemnly. "Don't worry, within three months, I will have the Golden Lotus condense blood dew, then make it into a pill to repair the Earth Mother's soul injury!"
Li Yun knew that his family had been medicine merchants for generations, so he wasn't worried the kid would run away. All of the Shangguan family's businesses were located within Changfeng Valley; where could his whole family possibly go?
As for Mother Earth, her injury has been going on for years, so she's not afraid of dragging it out for another three months.
"Alright, I'll have Xu Liangye send you back. If you need anything, just ask him." Li Yun said kindly, "As long as you can condense the blood dew, you'll be credited with a great achievement. Then you can return to your mentor's side without any problem."
"Yes." Shangguan Biao knew that there was a second half to his sentence:
If it doesn't condense into blood... ha!
Therefore, Li Yunhui assigned Senior Brother Xu to supervise him throughout the process.
Furthermore, Shangguan Biao was already mentally prepared that since he had come to rely on Li Yun, the great credit for curing the Earth Mother would basically be taken by Li Yun, and the only benefit he could get was to return to his original identity.
For Li Yun and Tang Linzi, it was just a small favor, but it required him, a lowly disciple, to give his all, even sacrificing his mother's life!
The more hatred he harbors in his heart, the more respectful he must appear on the surface.
Just then, Xu Liangzhi returned and bowed to Li Yun: "Uncle-Master, we have uncovered three more people involved in the illegal trafficking of spiritual herbs. They are all disciples of Yaoxian Cave, and the value of the spiritual herbs involved has tripled. This matter will alarm the sect leader tonight."
Then he said to Shangguan Biao, "This matter is of great importance. If it weren't for your uncle's intervention, you would have been in real trouble this time."
Shangguan Biao readily agreed and thanked Li Yun.
Just then, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled, and several explosions soon followed in the distance.
Li Yun's face changed color: "That direction is the Earth Mother's nest! Who was the last person to clean the nest today?"
Shangguan Biao immediately replied, "It is I."
"Is there anything unusual nearby? Why did it explode?"
Shangguan Biao immediately shook his head: "The Earth Mother only turns over once. After I applied the Jade Dew, it slept peacefully and there were no other unusual movements."
"That means an outsider is behind this!" Li Yun said to Xu Liangzhi with a stern face. "Call everyone here and come with me to find out what's going on!"
"Yes!"
The two left the house and rode away on clouds, without even glancing at Shangguan Biao.
……
To avoid any unforeseen complications, the three were about to jump down after finding the true entrance to the Earth Mother's Nest. However, a rustling sound came from the entrance to the crevice, as if countless legs were scratching at the rocks.
A flame ignited in Mingke's cactus, which she used as a flare to throw into the crack in the ground.
As the firelight trailed downwards, the three of them saw countless large, dark gray insects crawling rapidly upwards from the cracks in the ground and on the stone walls below.
"Stone cricket!"
These creatures were basically oversized mole crickets, even bigger than a yellow dog; even Aunt Zhu had never seen anything like them before. Just as Immortal Ming Ke recognized them, the first dozen or so stone mole crickets in the front row rushed to the exit and pounced on the three of them.
They live underground year-round, and their two front claws and large mouths are particularly strong at digging in the soil and rocks; of course, they are also capable of biting and eating people.
Immortal Mingke also warned, "Be careful, these things can penetrate protective qi."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than several stone antlers raised their mouths and aimed at it, shooting out several water jets.
As Mingke Immortal dodged, he smelled a strong, sour, and rotten odor.
This thing can also spray strong acid, which, when splashed on the ground, hiss and corrodes a large area, leaving dozens of small pits about an inch deep.
With their skills, killing dozens of stone mole crickets would be a piece of cake. The problem was that the stone mole crickets emerging from the ground were endless, and they could even see some huge ones, three or four times the size of ordinary stone mole crickets, and they didn't know what special abilities they had.
Immortal Mingke said, "The master of the secret realm doesn't want us to go down and wants to delay us."
The thought of charging into a horde of monsters would send chills down anyone's spine.
"The more he doesn't want us to go, the more important it is!" Aunt Zhu's eyes shone brightly. "These are actually living things, not created by magic or any kind of animation technique!"
In other words, the owner of the secret realm secretly released some living creatures from the outside world into Duzhi Mountain?
The anglerfish is like this, and so is the mole cricket.
Although the master of the secret realm did not know what methods they planned to use to deal with the Earth Mother, he could not stand idly by.
He Lingchuan's eyes flickered slightly. Why didn't the master here use the Earth Mother's clone to stop them? The Earth Mother's clone was clearly incredibly powerful.
"Let's clear out a bunch of people first." He suppressed his thoughts. "Grandma, get ready."
"Alright!" Aunt Zhu has chosen a form that is slightly larger than a calf for now. The size of the fighting body needs to be adjusted according to reality, and bigger is not necessarily better.
Immortal Mingke then took out a golden ring from his bosom, on which was drawn a firebird.
After knocking away the two stone crickets, he aimed the gold ring at the crack in the ground, took a deep breath, and blew hard into the ring—
call!
This breath was like spraying alcohol onto a flame, but a thousand times more intense, because what flew out of the golden ring was not a ball of flame, but a thick and violent fire dragon!
It is formed from reddish-white flames, which turn the stones it passes over black. If you stay for even two more breaths, the stones will be melted by the high temperature and turn into dark red magma!
Even the massive army of stone mole crickets couldn't withstand such terrifying heat, exploding into clumps of acidic liquid in the flames before dissolving.
This is a magical artifact he borrowed from Venerable Mingyao; it's very effective against flesh and blood.
But no sooner had he finished breathing fire than rainbows flashed in the distance, and someone shouted:
"Who do you think you are, daring to run wild in my Changfeng Valley!"
