Luo Mang nodded: "Yes, I buy pigs. Do you sell any?"

Old man: "Yes, we do. What price are you offering?"

Luo Mang laughed heartily: "Market price."

He wasn't short of money; Yin Huan had a considerable amount left in her bank account.

After Silver Ring began to fuse his powers, he went to town and withdrew some money. After all, they would have to live at the snake-breeding base for a while.

The old man glanced at Luo Mang a few times, and seeing that the young man didn't look like a bad person, he dispelled his doubts.

The old man said, "Alright, go check out my pigsty. I have two big, fat pigs that will be ready for market soon."

In rural areas, every household raises livestock. Since they're all going to sell them anyway, it doesn't matter who they sell to.

Luo Mang chuckled and followed the old man to his house.

The old man's house is not far from the snake breeding base; it only takes half an hour to walk there.

Luo Mang bought both of the old man's big fat pigs, and that wasn't all; he also bought several of the old man's geese.

After selling the livestock, the old man kindly asked if they wanted to go to town to call a truck to load the pigs.

Luo Mang refused.

It's just two pigs, no need to call a cart to load them. He just shouts, and the two pigs will follow him.

The old man looked at the money in his hand, then at the two pigs obediently following behind Luo Mang, and felt that something seemed off.

Luo Mang returned to the snake breeding base. The green python was puzzled by his quick return. But upon seeing the two pigs following behind him, it immediately understood why.

His snake eyes lit up, and he slowly climbed down from under the yellow horn tree. With a flick of his tail, he dragged a pig into the house.

"Two pigs aren't enough. Go and buy a few more." He's eating too frequently right now, and it seems he can only get rid of this situation once he returns to human form.

So during this time... my younger brother is right here beside me, if he doesn't take responsibility, who will?

Luo Mang's face was very unpleasant: "I'm not going." Eat, eat, eat, how can you not eat yourself to death?

The green python didn't even glance at Luo Mang, and said in a low voice, "If you're not going, fine, I'll go. Remember to put the money on the table later. After I finish eating, I'll use the money to buy things for others. A snake using money to buy pigs will definitely make the headlines."

Luo Mang snorted coldly: "You're the one making the headlines, what does it have to do with me?"

The green python wasn't angry at all. Instead, it chuckled slyly, "Oh right, it's none of your business, but it will definitely alert the demon hunters. When they come, I'll say, 'I'm your brother, and you're going to starve me, so I went to buy the pig myself. Anyway, buying pigs with money isn't illegal.'"

The green python spoke in a roundabout way, completely unconcerned that Luo Mang wouldn't follow its lead. Although this guy's cultivation was deeper than his, it seemed like he hadn't grown much brains in the past two thousand years.

My brain is still not enough.

"Get out! I'm the older brother!" Luo Mang gritted his teeth in anger, turned around, and left the courtyard again.

The green python chuckled sinisterly... "See? What a brainless fool! He actually took my threats seriously. Doesn't he realize that with Silver Ring here, how could he possibly reveal their whereabouts?"

Without the threat of danger, Luo Mang's occasional shrewdness vanished, leaving him no match for the Green Python. The Green Python's intelligence was paramount; in any contest, Luo Mang would always be the one at a disadvantage.

The master and two servants spent a peaceful month at Jiu Yuanqing's house. During this month, Yin Huan continued to sit under the yellow horn tree, refining Nu Hui's power without wavering through wind and rain. Meanwhile, the green python was finally able to transform into human form.

However, the time is very short, only two hours a day. At other times, he can only move around in his beast form.

At this point, the green python finally understood what had happened to it.

The power that had been imprisoned within him broke free of its cocoon and transformed into a butterfly, completely cleansing his original demonic essence.

Now, his aura has completely changed, faintly carrying the aura of an ancient Teng Snake. Not only that, the Teng Snake bloodline hidden within him seems to have changed as well, with two small bony buds sprouting on either side of his beastly back.

That small bone sac was exactly the same as the small snake soul imprint within the Silver Ring Soul Imprint Space. This meant that his Teng Snake bloodline was gradually awakening.

The blue python was very happy; the melancholy in its heart was finally released.

To be honest, although he had come to terms with it and accepted his fate, he was still regretful... He and Luo Mang were both Teng Snakes, but because of Luo Mang, he was reduced to an ordinary monster. How could he not feel regret?

Autumn has arrived, and the weather is gradually getting cooler.

A thin mist swirled in the mountains, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. That morning, the sky was ablaze with colorful clouds, another bright and sunny autumn day. But this beautiful view was abruptly shattered by a sudden clap of thunder.

In the sky, the clouds surged and rushed, and the colorful clouds were quickly covered by the dark clouds. A purple lightning bolt, like a long dragon, suddenly tore through the sky.

Inside the courtyard, Qingmang and Luo Mang, who were stretching their muscles, seemed to be startled and abruptly withdrew their battling palms, raising their heads to stare straight at the sky.

Seemingly having discovered something, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they vanished from the courtyard in a flash. At the same time, Su Yi, who had been cultivating on Fuding Mountain, was also startled by the strange change on the horizon. He stamped his foot and immediately rushed towards Fushan Town.
