Chapter 738 The Heroine Is Not Human (Thirty-Two)
"Cat?"
Pei Yan was still a doting master of a demon pet, but when he saw such a high-level spiritual weapon, he realized that something was wrong.
My cat has a secret! Pei Yan is just cold and world-weary, but not stupid.
He was not naive enough to think that his cat could get such a high-level spiritual weapon by just jumping into the sea.
Oh, and there's also the thousand-year-old jacaranda from last time! Pei Yan told Lu Ming that it was his cat that got it. He wasn't flattering the cat as Lu Ming thought, but was telling the truth.
At that time, Pei Yan saw the cat running into the Blood Mist Demon Forest. When he found the cat, the cat had the magical herb in its mouth.
Pei Yan had a "master filter" for the cat and did not think much about it. He just thought that the cat had the instincts of a monster and could capture the spiritual power emitted by the spiritual herbs and then find the thousand-year-old jasper flower.
However, Pei Yan soon saw the shock and questioning look in Lu Ming's eyes when he heard that there was a thousand-year-old jasper flower.
At that moment, Pei Yan realized that his cat seemed to have done something very unusual.
Now, +1 for being unusual!
Did the cat have any special talents or skills? Or did it simply have some space? The spiritual herbs, magic tools, etc. were all hidden in its personal space?
Pei Yan’s mind worked so fast that he almost touched upon the truth.
Realizing this, Pei Yan's eyes, which had always been calm, no longer showed greed or excitement, but instead were filled with deep concern.
He hugged Gu Qingcheng tightly: Silly cat, I'm just being nice to you, why are you so unreserved to me?
Do you know what it means to be on guard against others? Do you know how complicated and greedy people's hearts can be?
Having witnessed his father's betrayal of his mother since childhood and seen too many bloody cases of people turning against their relatives for a few acres of land or a few pieces of silver, Pei Yan had long been disappointed with this world.
He is intelligent and sees things clearly, which makes him particularly painful.
After a long time, I began to feel disgusted with the world - people's hearts are too ugly and the world is too dirty.
The so-called truth, goodness and beauty are nothing but deceptive illusions created by the world.
That day, when Pei Yan saw the little cat demon in the demon cage, he was angry at first, but then he was attracted by the cat's clear and trusting eyes.
His heart, which had long been cold and hard, was slightly touched by the furry, soft and cute little ball.
Pei Yan became somewhat interested and no longer had the attitude of not caring about anything.
However, Pei Yan still didn't expect that he had only shown a little bit of kindness to Mao'er, and Mao'er would repay him so sincerely - trusting him 100% and showing his "secrets" without reservation! "Silly Mao'er! Don't do this again!"
"People are evil! Especially in this world of immortal cultivation where the strong prey on the weak, if you have a rare treasure, it will surely attract the covetousness of others and bring you disaster!"
No one understands the words "human greed" better than Pei Yan.
He himself is a victim.
It was just a token of a powerful cultivator at the beginning, but it was enough to make Han Linger, who had been pretending for more than ten years, reveal her true colors and even transform into a shameless thief!
The secrets held by your own cat must be bigger and more precious than the so-called "fairy fate".
Pei Yan had every reason to suspect that once someone discovered it, it would definitely cause a lot of people to scramble for it! "It seems that I have to become stronger in the future!"
Pei Yan gently stroked Gu Qingcheng's soft hair and said something in a low voice.
Gu Qingcheng: ...What do you mean? Are you just going to take the blame for me?
Well, think about it, if Pei Yan, the "master", has a high enough cultivation level, it would be natural for his demon pet to take out any shocking treasures.
The people around him just thought that Pei Yan doted on his demon pet and got many good things for it.
No one would suspect that she, a ginger cat, was a ninth-level demon with hidden cultivation, and no one would even think of a portable space! An owner who is willing to "take the blame" for a demon pet should be considered a good owner.
A gleam of light flashed in Gu Qingcheng's golden brown eyes, making the whole fur ball look very lively.
"Don't worry, Cat, I will protect you well!"
Pei Yan looked at this smart and cute little cat demon, and his eyes were soft.
His tone was gentle, but his eyes were firm.
He raised his hand and took the small coffin.
He practiced his skills and poured all his spiritual energy into the coffin.
Swish! The black sarcophagus flew into the air and quickly grew larger.
It was originally only an inch long and could be easily carried by a kitten.
With the stimulation of spiritual power, the small coffin grew bigger and bigger, until it became a giant coffin that was ten feet long and half a foot high.
The huge coffin was dark and eerie. When the lid was opened, there was a huge space inside.
An adult man of medium build like Pei Yan can easily stand inside it.
"Cat! Come on, let's go in and take a look!"
Holding the little cat demon, Pei Yan leaped into the coffin.
The inside of the coffin was square and didn't look so cold and scary.
Pei Yan made hand gestures and used his spiritual power to conjure up a lamp, illuminating the coffin.
Pei Yan held Gu Qingcheng and walked around in the coffin. He found that apart from the appearance of a coffin, which looked a bit "unlucky", the rest of the structure and engraved runes made it more like a high-level spiritual weapon.
There are complicated and ancient runes and chain formations all around the coffin.
Pei Yan didn't understand formations or talismans, but he understood the principle of "force defeats skill".
He has a lot of spiritual power.
Pei Yan mobilized his spiritual power and used the "breaking character technique". Then there was no "illusion" in his vision. The formation method, the formation eye, etc., were no longer secret in front of him! He found a "card slot", which should be the formation eye of a chain formation.
As long as enough spiritual power is poured into it, it should be possible to activate the formation or control this high-level spiritual weapon.
Pei Yan thought so and started the experiment.
He once again mobilized his spiritual power and continuously sent it towards the center of the formation.
After an unknown amount of time, Pei Yan, whose cultivation was obviously a bug, felt that his spiritual power was a little overdrawn, and the "eye of the formation" seemed to be a little loose.
Pei Yan endured the fatigue from overdrawing his spiritual power and continued to transport it.
Boom~ Finally, Pei Yan successfully connected with the sarcophagus.
He could clearly "sense" the existence of the sarcophagus, and could also control it to grow or shrink, fly or stop.
Boom!
The sarcophagus finally flew up and headed towards Lu Ming's spirit boat.
Lu Ming: ...
He is already stunned, okay? !
Rubbing his eyes, Lu Ming's three views seemed to be shattered and reshaped.
"There are actually underwater treasures in the West Sea?"
"And Brother Pei's little mischievous cat just jumped in and found such a magical weapon?"
"No! This is impossible! That little cat demon is not my Baibai. Without the blessing of bloodline, it is impossible for it to be a 'treasure hunting beast'!"
"Either the blind cat caught a dead mouse! Or Brother Pei is helping it cheat again!"
"Oh, Brother Pei is really something. I just don't believe that his cat can collect spiritual herbs, so he put on a 'live show'."
"...Brother Pei doesn't know that for a cultivator like me, I have understood a truth since childhood: the eyes can deceive people, but the brain cannot!"
What you see is not necessarily true, but as long as you have a clear mind and rigorous logic, you can still see through the true nature of the truth through the false "witnessing"!
Based on Lu Ming's knowledge, judgment and other factors, Lu Ming was very sure that Pei Yan's little orange cat was just an ordinary breed of farm cat.
Perhaps with some chance, it evolved into a monster.
However, even if animals of ordinary species become monsters, they are only the lowest level monsters.
Being able to cultivate to level three or four is considered the pinnacle of a cat’s life.
If you want to transform or become a demon king, it is almost impossible without more opportunities! Unlike his Baibai, although it looks like a cat, it seems to have other bloodlines.
With the same training, Baibai can advance faster than the little orange cat and climb all the way to the top.
Lu Ming didn't believe that such a low-level cat demon could possess a natural skill like "treasure hunting".
Instead of believing that demon pets are awesome, it’s better to consider the possibility that the owner is helping their demon pets cheat.
Sure enough, Lu Ming soon discovered that the person who activated the sarcophagus was Pei Yan.
The runes around the sarcophagus were also tainted with Pei Yan's aura.
"I was right! This stone coffin was originally Brother Pei's."
"Hey, Brother Pei is really something. Even if you dote on your demon pet, there is no need to go to this extent."
Lu Ming finally understood King Zhou a little. Tsk, another guy who was blinded by lust.
However, despite his complaints, Lu Ming did not show it.
He didn't even ask, but focused all his attention on the strange sarcophagus.
Is this a magical weapon?
Attacking weapon?
Or a flying magic weapon?
No matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem appropriate.
They are human cultivators, not demon cultivators, so why would they refine something that looks weird and spooky? Wait!
Could it be that it is not a magic weapon, but the coffin that Brother Pei prepared for himself?
Lu Ming did not forget Brother Pei's expression of world-weariness.
Alas, although he was not very familiar with Brother Pei's past life, from his conversation with Han Ling'er, Lu Ming also had some vague understanding -
Brother Pei's father was a son-in-law, but after he came to power, he became ungrateful and took over the position of his father.
Brother Pei must have had a very unhappy childhood. The fact that a concubine's daughter like Han Ling'er dared to steal treasures is enough to prove how difficult Brother Pei's situation was at home.
The trauma he suffered in his childhood made Brother Pei see through this cruel world. He began to hate his family and the people in the world, until he began to get tired of the whole world.
He seems to have no meaning in living.
For someone who doesn't even care about life or death, it is completely reasonable to prepare for death in advance.
"Brother Pei is so disgusted with the world that he even prepared the coffin in advance?"
Lu Ming is not Pei Yan, he cannot "empathize" with others, and naturally he cannot understand Pei Yan's world-weariness.
However, lack of understanding does not mean lack of respect.
Lu Ming would not interfere too much with Pei Yan, nor would he point fingers or criticize other people's magic weapons.
The sarcophagus is just a sarcophagus. Its appearance is a bit weird, but it looks very powerful.
Now Brother Pei can directly take out the sarcophagus and use it to "comfort" the little cat demon. Does this mean that Brother Pei has "let it go"?
At least, there is someone in this world who can affect his emotions. Oh no, it's a cat! "Hey! If you think so, then 'Little Cat' is not completely useless!"
Gu Qingcheng: ...Are you polite? Of course, Gu Qingcheng couldn't hear Lu Ming's mumbling, so she naturally didn't complain.
At this moment, she didn't have the energy to pay attention to anything else.
A small furry ball lay on the bottom of the sarcophagus, raising its little head, watching Pei Yan using his spiritual power to activate the sarcophagus with some difficulty.
A pair of round golden-brown eyes first looked at Pei Yan, then lowered to look at the sarcophagus. The little guy was quite confused.
It raised its paws and fluttered its ears, then it seemed to think of something.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, and Pei Yan paid attention to look over.
Then--
"Spiritual stone?"
Pei Yan's pupils contracted again.
It’s not that he had never seen spirit stones before, but he had never seen so many mid-grade spirit stones.
And the most important point is that this mountain of spiritual stones was actually taken out by his own cat.
"It seems that my cat is richer than I thought."
How many good things are there in its storage space? And, you silly cat, did you not listen to what I just said? Or -
Do you really trust me to this extent? Pei Yan pursed his lips, and a complex light flashed in his usually cold and calm eyes.
He did not speak, nor did he reach out to take the spirit stones.
"Meow?" What's wrong? Why not take it? The soft little orange cat made a cute cry.
It tilted its round little head, and there was obvious confusion in its two equally round eyes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Then, it seemed to think of something.
Snap!
A small storage bag fell out of nowhere in front of the kitten.
"Meow! Meow!" Here you go, use it to store spirit stones! Pei Yan: ...
For some reason I feel like I’m being kept by a “rich cat”!
My cat is really rich. Not only did he give me spirit stones, he even gave me a storage bag to hold them in! "...Okay! I got it!"
Pei Yan originally wanted to remind Mao'er a few words about "human nature", but when his eyes met Mao'er's eyes, which were as clean and clear as a baby's, he swallowed them back.
His cat, like a newborn baby, was not contaminated by the filth and ugliness of the world.
And the reason why he is "moved" is precisely because of this "truth".
He didn't want to ruin this beauty.
"Forget it! I'm here anyway!"
"I will protect the cat and won't let it get hurt!"
Pei Yan secretly made up his mind that he would work hard to improve himself and make himself truly invincible as soon as possible.
Because only in this way can he let his cat always keep his original heart.
Pei Yan had made up his mind and no longer continued to waste his spiritual energy foolishly.
He raised his hand, and the storage bag lying on the ground instantly flew into his palm.
Pei Yan infused his spiritual power into the storage bag and left his own spiritual mark on the storage bag.
Then, he put the pile of mid-grade spirit stones into his storage bag.
Of course, he kept a few and put them in the card slot.
With the mid-grade spirit stone, the flight of the sarcophagus no longer requires Pei Yan's spiritual power.
He sat down cross-legged and reached out to hold the kitten.
Instead of saying empty words like "thank you", he began to practice with the little cat demon.
Pei Yan's skills are very domineering. If he wants, he can let another person (or cat) share his skills! As Pei Yan began to practice the skills, Gu Qingcheng clearly felt a surge of powerful spiritual power enveloping him.
She didn't even need to practice the Taiyin Jue, her cultivation seemed to be increasing.
"I am now a ninth-level demon beast, and I am only half a step away from great perfection!"
"Unfortunately, I am suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and cannot break through at all!"
"Eh? Wait! No, my restraints seem to be loosening a little--"
Could it be that Pei Yan's BUG was so powerful that he could even break through the constraints of Heaven? Does this mean that as long as Pei Yan "escorts" me, I can "do whatever I want"? Without having to practice myself, my cultivation level began to improve, so Gu Qingcheng simply took a break.
It even has the leisure to think about these trivial things.
"Hmm~"
After an unknown amount of time, Pei Yan finished this round of training.
One to one, one person practicing and two people sharing. For Pei Yan, who was doing this for the first time, it was not an easy task.
He was obviously a little tired.
Click!
While Gu Qingcheng was daydreaming, she did not forget to pay attention to Pei Yan.
Seeing that his body was shaking slightly, she took out a small jade bottle from her personal space without saying a word.
Pei Yan: ...
Over and over again, he has gotten used to it.
He no longer had his pupils shaking, but picked up the small jade bottle very skillfully.
"Earth-level Peiyuan Pill!"
Although Pei Yan knew that his cat was domineering, he still didn't expect it to be so domineering.
The pill he took out casually was the top-grade Peiyuan Pill, which was priceless in the market outside.
"The cat's parents or the person who opened its spiritual wisdom must be a great immortal, and they must love it very much!"
Yes, Pei Yan guessed that these "treasures" of the cat should have been prepared for it by its relatives and teachers.
Since they couldn't wait for it for some reason, they prepared a lot of cultivation resources for it.
The cat was a little cub, innocent and naive, and ignorant of the ways of the world, which is why he was captured alive by a wandering cultivator who was hunting monsters.
As for himself, he had only shown a little kindness, and the cat responded with its sincere heart.
"Silly cat!"
Pei Yan himself couldn't remember how many times he had said the words "silly cat" today.
But, every time he laughed or scolded, it was a reflection of his heart being touched a little bit.
However, Pei Yan did not notice it for a moment.
He also didn't notice that the shackles binding his soul were quietly opened.
Boom! His cultivation suddenly skyrocketed.
Pei Yan: ...What's going on? I've already finished my training, why am I still——
Even Gu Qingcheng received the "gift" of Pei Yan's improved cultivation.
She had already touched the barrier at the peak of level nine, and it could be broken through with just a slight poke.
But, it is stuck here! Gu Qingcheng: ...I am very angry.
However, after this experience, Gu Qingcheng became more certain of her initial guess.
Pei Yan is the key to her becoming an immortal.
"Great! It's worth it for me to bring out so many good things time and time again!"
As the saying goes, the best way is to conquer the heart!
Her Majesty the Queen has always been an expert in this area.
…
"Brother Pei, your flying magic weapon is truly, truly unique!"
Standing on the spirit boat, Lu Ming watched Pei Yan stand up from the sarcophagus.
He smiled awkwardly and gave insincere compliments.
Pei Yan looked proud: "It is indeed unique! This is a magic weapon that my cat 'accidentally' found on the seabed!"
Lu Ming: ... Pei Yan, you are so filthy! You are just a "cat slave".
Lu Ming is not from later generations, so naturally he doesn’t know what a humble poop scooper is.
However, what he saw of Pei Yan and his "master's pet" really made him unable to adapt.
A human monk, a master, actually did this for a cat demon—
For a moment, Lu Ming couldn't think of a more appropriate word. He just felt that Pei Yan doted on the little cat demon too much and had lost the dignity and pride of being a master! Pei Yan: ...I knew you didn't believe it!
There's nothing you can do. With prejudice, even if you tell him the truth, he will think you are lying.
Pei Yan knew about Lu Ming's prejudice against his own cat, so he told the truth.
As for Lu Ming, just as Pei Yan had expected, not only did he not believe it, but he also started to imagine all kinds of things.
"Haha!" Lu Ming didn't know Pei Yan's little plan and laughed awkwardly twice.
He decided to change the topic and not discuss the little cat demon anymore, otherwise, Lu Ming was really worried that he would lose control.
"Brother Pei, we have arrived at the sea area outside Xihai City."
Lu Ming pointed to a fairy city floating on the sea not far away and said, "Xihai City has a rule that all cultivators are not allowed to fly in the air within Xihai City."
"After crossing this small area of sea, we will enter the city——"
Therefore, one can no longer take flying instruments, but has to walk instead.
Pei Yan nodded, "Okay! Thank you Brother Lu for the reminder!"
In fact, Pei Yan was not very interested in Xihai City.
What's more, the elixir that Lu Ming had been dreaming about was dispensable to Pei Yan.
However, since I'm here, I might as well take a walk around Xihai City.
Furthermore, Pei Yan was a newcomer to the world of immortal cultivation, and he still needed some time to understand everything about the Western Continent.
Especially now he is different from the past. In the past he was always “indifferent” and was not so eager to practice.
Now that he has the cat, if he wants to become stronger and become someone that no one dares to provoke, he must improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
Xihai City is the largest sea fairy city in the Xizhou continent. Here, you will definitely be able to hear a lot of news about cultivation.
And the cat is a demon beast, and needs good demon cultivation techniques.
Although he can "share" his cultivation with Maoer, he still hopes that Maoer can become stronger on his own.
In this way, even if something happens, the cat will not fall into danger.
Pei Yan jumped out of the sarcophagus while thinking about this.
He chanted a spell, and the huge sarcophagus shrank instantly, returning to its size of an inch.
Pei Yan put the small sarcophagus into the storage bag, picked up the kitten, and slowly descended from mid-air to the sea.
Walking on the sea water, Pei Yan and Lu Ming arrived at the gate of the fairy city.
"Ten low-grade spirit stones for each person entering the city!"
The guard guarding the city is a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
But if you look closely, you will find that he should be "it"——
There were still some scales on the guard's cheeks, so it should be a sea monster that had just transformed.
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows: ...This Xihai City seems to be a place where humans and monsters can "coexist peacefully".
In this case, would it be taboo to feed your kitten some "fish"?
It doesn’t matter! My cat just likes to eat fish. As long as it is happy, I don’t care about any “taboos”.
Pei Yan, who has improved his cultivation once again, is so arrogant!
