carefree young man
To everyone's surprise, Shen Zhi didn't even bother to respond, and rudely interrupted, "What's it to you! This old man didn't care before, why are you asking these questions now?"
"If it weren't for her, your son would have died countless times! You want her to submit to the Shen family and serve them like a slave for the rest of her life? Dream on!"
Normally, Mo Zuili would be more than happy for these two to argue a bit more, so she could hear the gossip.
But since Shen Ling was still on the spirit boat outside, Mo Zuili had no choice but to push through the crowd to Shen Miao's side and interrupt the father and son's argument.
He tossed the porcelain bottle to Shen Miao and said, "This is a pill that my senior brother made for you. He said that taking it will cure your illness."
Once things are restored, there's no need to fight over who will be the next clan leader; you can continue being the leader.
After silently criticizing the last sentence, Mo Zuili quickly ran away.
After boarding the spirit boat, take out the spirit refining brush to draw fire talismans. Even if they are low-level fire talismans, draw a few to keep in mind, so that you can bring out more momentum when fighting.
Once the pills that Shen Ling had consumed took full effect, they finally suppressed his cultivation level temporarily.
Mo Zuili then stopped what she was doing and sat down next to Shen Ling, subtly probing, "Senior brother, are you really going to return to the Shen family to succeed to the throne?"
Shen Ling leaned against the wall and exhaled a breath of stale air as she explained, "No, that won't happen. The day you woke up at the Shen family, when my uncle called me out, I already told him that if anything happened to the Shen family in the future, I would come back to help, but I wouldn't stay at the Shen family."
Mo Zuili said "Oh" twice and then asked, "With Senior Brother's strength, he shouldn't be like this, right? And why does that thing Chen Zhi have to try to kill you?"
Shen Ling swallowed a Rejuvenation Pill and slowly said, "He and his uncle have had conflicts since childhood. Perhaps he saw that his uncle valued me and might threaten his position as clan leader, so he resorted to this desperate measure."
At this point, Shen Ling's bright smile disappeared, and she sighed, "When I inhaled the Spirit-Locking Smoke in the Rainbow Feather Pavilion that day, I thought I was no longer in danger, but my cousin took advantage of that."
The girl in yellow cornered me in the dungeon, using a tag-team approach to deplete my spiritual energy. Realizing this, I feared the backlash from the Spirit-Locking Smoke, so I had no choice but to fight with all my might, absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy and nearly breaking through to the next level during a crucial moment in the battle.
After chatting for a while, looking at the weak Shen Ling in front of her, Mo Zuili recalled the male lead's eyes, filled with truth, goodness and beauty, when he asked her to deliver medicine.
Although I personally preferred "Mo Zuili" when reading the novel, I didn't dislike the male lead.
The carefree young man of today, later awakens his demonic bloodline by a twist of fate, is betrayed by everyone, turns to the dark side, and even slaughters the dragon clan.
Thinking that Qi Shuyan was still trapped in the Dragon Clan's void barrier, Mo Zuili decided to do her best to prevent Shen Ling from turning evil.
Mo Zuili sighed, patted Shen Ling's shoulder, and said, "Senior brother, I've decided to tell you anyway."
Mo Zuili recounted to Shen Ling the conversation between Shen Miao and his son that she had overheard after returning to the dungeon, adding at the end, "Shen Zhi has already harmed you so much, but now that I'm taking you away, he doesn't even want to punish Shen Zhi anymore."
If the Shen family encounters trouble in the future, you will kindly go back to help. But knowing your uncle's personality, if you encounter difficulties and go back to the Shen family for help, he probably won't help you."
So, male protagonist, once you become a demon, don't go back to the Shen family to say goodbye. These people don't care about you at all; they even want to kill you!
After Mo Zuili finished speaking, she thought Shen Ling would be angry, but to her surprise, Shen Ling's disappointment was only slight and fleeting: "I know. My father was the previous head of the Shen family. He disappeared with his mother shortly after he was born, and my uncle took over later."
At the time, the Shen family was embroiled in internal strife. The fact that he didn't take advantage of the chaos to eliminate me and allowed me to grow up safely using the Shen family's resources was already more than enough. My cousin was his only child, so it was only natural that he was good to him.
Ah! The Holy Son's radiance shone so brightly that Mo Zuili closed his eyes.
Mo Zuili felt that, given the male lead's personality, if she started treating him well now, as long as he didn't turn evil later and encountered danger in the Immortal Valley, it wouldn't be her self-destruction, but rather the male lead self-destructing to protect his junior sister.
Unfortunately, even if she didn't have a boyfriend, she's using her own body and doesn't plan to take the dating route.
As Mo Zuili was pondering this in her mind, she suddenly sensed that the spiritual energy fluctuations in Shen Ling's body had become chaotic again.
He quickly took out some pills and fed them to Shen Ling, shouting, "Senior brother, please don't break through on the spirit boat! There's no one here to protect you."
They finally made it back to Medicine King Mountain. With a Rejuvenation Pill in her mouth, Mo Zuili dragged Chen Ling all the way to the top of the mountain.
Fearing that Chu Qing would discover the abnormality in Shen Ling's body, Mo Zuili originally wanted to take him directly into the secret room to break through.
As it turned out, Chu Qing did not go into seclusion. When she sensed that the two had returned to the mountain and came out to check, she immediately noticed that Shen Ling's condition was not right.
They immediately brought the person back inside, and the entire process of pulse diagnosis, acupuncture, and medication was completed in one go.
Mo Zuili, watching from the side, advised, "Senior Brother isn't seriously injured. He was just in a dangerous situation before, which is why he couldn't break through. Now that we're back at Medicine King Mountain, we can just let him go into the secret chamber to break through."
While inserting needles into Shen Ling's body, Chu Qing explained, "He inhaled the Spirit-Locking Smoke, and his own spiritual power was almost exhausted before. Breaking through now might damage his foundation. I'll use needles to seal his acupoints and draw out the Spirit-Locking Smoke."
Looking at Shen Ling, who was covered in thorns, and thinking about how she had also inhaled the Soul-Locking Smoke, Mo Zuili couldn't help but feel a little scared.
After completing the procedure, Chu Qing took Shen Ling to a secret chamber for seclusion.
Although she wasn't breaking through at the moment, just to be on the safe side, Mo Zuili stopped Chu Qing and asked, "Master, I also inhaled the Spirit-Locking Smoke. Will there be any other problems?"
Chu Qing looked at Mo Zuili with suspicion, then reached out and grabbed Mo Zuili's wrist to check it before saying, "You don't have it on you."
Mo Zuili exclaimed in surprise, "No way? My senior brother and I inhaled the Soul-Locking Smoke on the same day!"
Fearing that Chu Qing might have too much faith in her medical skills, Mo Zuili recounted in detail the incident of being ambushed in the fight at Ni Yu Fang, and finally extended her hand again, saying, "Master, please take another look?"
Even after another examination, Chu Qing still found that there was no trace of the Soul-Locking Smoke in Mo Zuili's body.
Seeing Mo Zuili's increasingly terrified expression, as if she were imagining something, Chu Qing thought for a long time and comforted her, "It may be related to your special constitution or the original poison in your body. It's good that you haven't been affected. You should go back first, and I'll check again."
With doubts in her heart, Mo Zuili returned to her small courtyard, where she practiced drawing talismans and focusing on the life state of the wax grid in her sea of consciousness, occasionally refining a few low-level pills.
Having already become the disciple of the number one alchemist on the continent, Mo Zuili thought, "Since I'm already here, I should at least learn some basic skills."
When Shen Ling emerged from seclusion, the life force belonging to Wax Grid still existed in Mo Zuili's sea of consciousness, proving that the fate of characters who were supposed to die in the story could be changed.
Mo Zuili couldn't wait to go out and see how the male lead would react after noticing the abnormality in her body.
I'd also like to ask Chu Qing to let me into the depths of Medicine King Mountain.
In the novel, Shen Ling returned from the Shen family and began cultivating in Medicine King Mountain. When she was about to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, she ventured deep into Medicine King Mountain to seek opportunities.
Opportunities are often accompanied by dangers. The depths of Medicine King Mountain are beyond Chu Qing's control. For the safety of his junior sister, Shen Ling persuades him to wait until he is detoxified before exploring.
So while the male protagonist was frantically seizing opportunities, the female protagonist was still in seclusion in a secret room cultivating.
Mo Zuili is now seeking an opportunity, and she has to go in and take a look no matter what.
Mo Zuili was still thinking of what to say when she stepped out of the courtyard and saw Shen Ling, who was all dressed up and ready to go and make a big splash.
You just got out of quarantine! What are you planning to do now?
Mo Zuili screamed inwardly.
"Senior brother, didn't you just come out of seclusion? Where are you going?"
Seeing Mo Zuili approach, Shen Ling smiled and explained, "I'm planning to explore the depths of Medicine King Mountain."
What a coincidence! I was just about to go in too.
I, Mo Zuili, immediately raised my hand, eager to try: "Then my senior brother and I are truly of one mind. I came out to tell Master that I want to go deeper into the mountains. It is said that there are many rare and precious opportunities deep in Medicine King Mountain. If I could find one here, I would be grateful for the chance to cure the poison in my body."
Seeing the worried look in the male lead's eyes and his hesitant mouth, Mo Zuili knew that Shen Ling wanted to dissuade her because he saw that she was weak.
Before Shen Ling could speak again, Mo Zuili spoke first: "Senior brother has just come out of seclusion, and his body is weak from inhaling the Soul-Locking Smoke. Why are you going in now? Isn't it too dangerous?"
These words made Shen Ling think of something, and she immediately looked away guiltily, saying, "The original plan was to break through to the deeper parts, but I think it's better to do it as soon as possible."
"Ah Ling, come here, let me see how you are after your breakthrough." Chu Qing appeared out of nowhere from behind Mo Zuili and beckoned to Shen Ling.
Shen Ling, contrary to her usual behavior, shook her head repeatedly and refused, saying, "Master, my body is fine now."
Looking at it, Mo Zuili finally realized where Shen Ling's awkwardness came from.
When Shen Ling broke through, she had already noticed the abnormality in her bloodline, which is why she was in such a hurry to go into the mountains to avoid others.
Why bother?
Mo Zuili thought to herself: Your awakening of the demon bloodline is inextricably linked to the cultivation technique given to you by Chu Qing. Chu Qing will find out sooner or later.
Seeing that Shen Ling refused, Chu Qing had doubts but did not insist. Instead, she looked at Mo Zuili and asked, "Do you want to go in too?"
Mo Zuili nodded, then scurried over to Chu Qing's side with a grin and said, "Master, I might be able to find a way to cure the poison if I go in."
After saying that, thinking of the dangers Shen Ling encountered in the depths of the original work, Mo Zuili's eyes flickered and she continued, "Is Master going into seclusion recently? Why don't you come in with us and take a look? Look at how reluctant Senior Brother is. Maybe his injuries haven't fully healed yet. He doesn't want you to worry, Master. He wants to go in and find opportunities while recuperating."
Thinking of the mysterious disappearance of the Soul-Locking Smoke within Mo Zuili's body and Shen Ling's unusual behavior, Chu Qing finally agreed, "Then let's go. I don't know much about the demon race, but there are many things related to them deep within the demon realm. Perhaps I can find the reason for your abnormality."
After saying that, he turned to Shen Ling and instructed her, "If you feel unwell, you must tell me."
...
"Smack!"
Mo Zuili raised her hand and flicked out a whip shadow with her Azure Flame Whip, which struck the spirit beast in front of her heavily.
The enormous spirit beast, as massive as an ancient tree, crashed down. Mo Zuili wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and then took out two low-level fire talismans she had drawn herself and threw them out.
After waiting cautiously for a while, they stepped forward and removed the beast core from the monster's body.
Mo Zuili wiped the smooth, purple beaded beast core clean and put it into her Sumeru Ring.
Mo Zuili turned around and waved to Shen Ling, who was walking from another direction, asking, "Senior brother, how are things on your end?"
