Chapter 740 The Heroine Is Not a Human (Thirty-Four)
"Heaven-level elixir?"
This time, not to mention the Lu brothers, even the female shopkeeper was a little stunned after hearing Pei Yan's words.
In the Western Continent, earth-grade elixirs are already considered to be of the highest quality.
Heaven level?
Haha, it almost only exists in legends.
"Meow!" I have it! Gu Qingcheng raised her little head and called out to Pei Yan.
Pei Yan lowered his head, and his usually cold eyes met a pair of golden-brown cat's eyes.
"Meow! Meow! Meow!" I have a heavenly-grade elixir!
I made it myself!
Little Pei Yan, this cat is super powerful.
The talismans, formations, pills, and spells are all at the high-level master level.
Especially in the art of alchemy, in the battlefield between immortals and demons, Gu Qingcheng, apart from practicing, liked to refine pills by herself.
Even though her skill in alchemy was only at the earth level, she was able to refine some heavenly-level pills.
She has no shortage of elixirs, weapons, or anything else! There is no need to waste spirit stones on these junks that are far inferior to her own quality! Pei Yan: ...
Junk? You call these valuable earth-level elixirs junk?
Although he knew that his little cat was a rich man, Pei Yan still didn't expect it to be so arrogant.
but--
"Cat, don't be impatient! Take your time!"
Pei Yan gently stroked the little orange cat's soft fur.
He knew that his cat looked down upon these pills, but, for now, they still needed a "cover".
"It's all my fault. My cultivation is still too low. Even if Cat wants to act more freely, he can't!"
Pei Yan secretly blamed himself.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
"Fellow Daoist, our Treasure Pavilion has a Heaven-level Peiyuan Pill."
Although the female shopkeeper was a little surprised, she still replied with pride, "This was made by a great master of alchemy. It is the best of the best! It is the treasure of our Treasure Pavilion—"
Having said this, the female shopkeeper deliberately paused the topic.
Her meaning was very clear. Since it was the store's treasure, the price would not be too low.
Even if a most common Peiyuan Pill was labeled as "Heavenly Grade", its price would be beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.
"How many spirit stones?"
Pei Yan gently comforted Gu Qingcheng while asking directly.
"Two thousand mid-grade spirit stones."
The female shopkeeper quoted an almost astronomical price.
One pill costs two thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Upon hearing this amount, even Lu Ming, who was born in the Nth generation of immortals, and even the young master of Xihai City, felt a little nervous.
Lu Ming opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to persuade him.
Pei Yan said directly, "Okay! I want them all!"
This price seems to be tailor-made for him.
There were still 12,000 mid-grade spirit stones in his storage bag, which was the number needed for the cultivation techniques and top-grade elixirs that Mao'er needed.
Pei Yan felt that if he didn't buy it, he would be letting down such a "fate".
Lu Ming: ...So rich and inhumane.
Lu Li: ...My brother actually has such a "nouveau riche" friend? The Lu brothers continued to stare in amazement.
On the other side, Pei Yan had completed the transaction with the female shopkeeper.
After getting the incomplete volume of divine-level skills, Pei Yan directly stuffed it into his storage bag.
And he gently fed the heavenly grade Peiyuan Pill into Gu Qingcheng's mouth.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Although she had no shortage of top-grade elixirs, she was really happy to see Xiao Pei Yan spend all his money to buy the best elixirs for her.
It was worthy of being a heavenly grade Peiyuan Pill. It melted in the mouth and surges of spiritual energy instantly spread throughout the body of the little cat demon.
Boom! Gu Qingcheng had originally suppressed her cultivation to level two, but with this top-grade elixir, her suppressed cultivation level actually loosened.
Gu Qingcheng felt the "itch to make a move", and she made a decision in an instant -
Go with the flow!
She borrowed the power of the top-grade Peiyuan Pill and directly released her suppressed cultivation: Level Three!
Level 4!! Directly "broke through" two levels!
Once a demon beast breaks through the fourth level, it is equivalent to the foundation-building stage of a human cultivator and can speak human language.
"Such a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy!"
"Brother, this little cat demon is not going to break through, is it?"
"Why not? That's a Heaven-level Peiyuan Pill! If it was given to my Bai Bai, my Bai Bai might be able to break through three levels in a row."
"...Brother, who is Baibai?"
The two brothers Lu Ming and Lu Li, who were standing nearby, watched in amazement while chatting silently with their spiritual senses.
But soon, the topic went off track.
Lu Li had a pair of charming fox eyes, but at this moment he was looking at Lu Ming innocently and aggrievedly.
He seemed to be accusing me: Brother, it’s been such a short time since we last met, and you already have another furry one?!
Lu Ming: ...
He didn't know why, but he felt like he had done nothing wrong, but he always felt guilty when facing his brother's innocent eyes.
Baibai (Han Youyou): Oh no, is the villain jealous? A certain immortal cultivation system: Dear big cat, you seem to have missed the point.
The point shouldn’t be that the person Lu Li is jealous of is actually you.
As a result, the little white tiger had no awareness at all that it was "eating the melon on itself"!
"Ali, it's Baibai."
Although he felt guilty, Lu Ming still did not hide it from his brother.
He took the little white cat out of the spirit beast bag, held it in his palm, and showed it to Lu Li: "This is the demon pet I bought in Blood Demon City. It's a snow-white cat, so I named it Baibai."
Lu Li: ...I am also a monster, and my whole body is snow-white.
My brother no longer only likes me as a fox, he has other cats! Being silently accused again, Lu Ming's guilt became even worse.
He quickly changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, I wonder how Brother Pei's cat is progressing. Ah Li, do you think it will continue to advance?"
Lu Li: ...Brother, your change of subject was too abrupt.
However, Lu Li is Lu Ming's good younger brother after all, and he respects and loves his brother from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Li didn't have the heart to embarrass his brother, so he followed his topic and said obediently: "It shouldn't continue to advance! The bloodline of this monster is very ordinary!"
Lu Li himself has the heritage of a fox demon, and is considered half human, half demon.
He has a very keen sense of monsters.
He could "see" that the orange cat of his brother's friend was obviously not as good as the little white cat his brother raised.
Although Lu Li’s cultivation level is not high, it is only level five.
He couldn't see what kind of magical bloodline the little white cat had, but he could see at a glance that the little orange cat was just an ordinary cat.
It is very rare for such an ordinary cat to awaken its intelligence and evolve into a monster.
It is extremely difficult to successfully break through and form a demon pill.
"Brother, although this little orange cat had the fortuitous encounter of obtaining the Heaven-level Peiyuan Pill, its cultivation level is probably limited to this!"
Lu Li commented very objectively, "A fourth-level demon beast is already the pinnacle that a bird or beast with an ordinary bloodline can reach—"
Unless, the little cat demon has more and bigger opportunities!
While the Lu brothers were discussing, Gu Qingcheng on the other side had already completed a "breakthrough".
“Meow… Pei, Pei Yan!”
A soft and slightly stiff voice of a loli sounded.
"Cat?"
Pei Yan was extremely surprised that his cat could now speak.
Does this mean that she has successfully advanced?
"Ah Qing! It's not a cat!"
Gu Qingcheng corrected Pei Yan's wording in a soft and tender voice.
"So your name is Aqing? Okay, I will call you Aqing from now on."
Pei Yan didn't care about Gu Qingcheng's attitude, but spoke very gently.
It was not until this time that Lu Ming realized: After Pei Yan rescued the little orange cat, he did not seem to be in a hurry to exercise the rights of "master" - to name the demon pet!
You know, after Lu Ming bought the little white cat, the first thing he did was to give it a nickname.
There is no harm without comparison.
Lu Ming didn’t think anything of it before, but when he heard Pei Yan call him “cat”, he felt a little strange.
But, at this moment, after hearing the conversation between the "master pet", Lu Ming thought: Perhaps, in Pei Yan's heart, he did not regard the little orange cat as a demon pet.
He didn't give the little orange cat a name, not because he didn't like it or didn't want to treat it as his own.
But he was not sure whether the cat would like him to name it.
He was waiting! Waiting for the cat to be able to speak for itself, waiting for the cat to give itself a name.
"...Brother Pei actually doesn't treat monsters as pets, but as equal 'fellows'."
Lu Ming himself is a rare spiritual root, with extraordinary talent, and he is also very smart.
After a brief thought, he guessed what Pei Yan was thinking.
"This brother Pei is a man of character."
Although Lu Ming didn't quite understand, he knew how to respect.
Moreover, Lu Ming felt that if a person could treat a monster equally, his character must be beyond reproach.
I, Lu Ming, have made this friend! "Brother Pei, congratulations, your cat has advanced!"
Lu Ming approached Pei Yan calmly and congratulated him sincerely.
"Thank you!"
Pei Yan seemed to be in a very good mood. Although his eyes towards Lu Ming were still cold, he thanked him sincerely.
Obviously, as long as it is about Mao'er, oh no, it is about Aqing, Pei Yan becomes very talkative.
"Brother Pei, things are almost done. Let's go and refine the elixir."
Lu Ming didn't forget the important matter.
He also did not forget his promise to give half of the elixir to Pei Yan.
"No!"
Pei Yan directly refused. Just now, when A Qing stopped him from buying the elixir, Pei Yan had an idea.
He didn't need to form pills in the first place. The reason he agreed to Lu Ming's "cooperation" was just to use Lu Ming to come to Xihai City to understand and obtain more information on cultivation.
But now, Pei Yan has more important things to do, and "experience" doesn't matter anymore.
"My Ah Qing has just achieved a breakthrough, and I also need to consolidate my cultivation."
Pei Yan looked at Lu Ming and said calmly: "I plan to take Ah Qing to the outer sea monster area--"
The outer sea monster area is just on the other side of West Sea City.
That is the dividing line between human cultivators and demon cultivators.
The outer sea monster area not only has endless ocean, but also many islands.
Whether in the sea or on the islands, there are monsters of all shapes and sizes with varying levels of power.
There are sea monsters in the sea, and bird, beast and other monsters on the islands.
Among them, there are many great monsters whose cultivation has reached the ninth level.
These great monsters not only have high levels of cultivation, but also have their own innate magical powers.
If a human cultivator were to fight against an enemy, even if they were of the same level, they would easily suffer a loss.
Therefore, although everyone knows that the outer sea demon realm is full of spiritual power and rich in cultivation resources, they dare not set foot there easily.
"...Brother Pei, the outer sea monster area is full of dangers and is not suitable for 'seclusion'!"
After hearing Pei Yan's words, Lu Ming was shocked at first, and then he subconsciously tried to persuade him.
As the young master of Xihai City, he grew up hearing stories about the monster realm in the outer sea.
There is no need to use other people as examples. Even his biological father had a bastard son when he was training in the outer sea monster area. He accidentally got into a maze of a ninth-level mirage monster and had sex with a nine-tailed fox! At that time, Father Lu was already a great cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the golden elixir.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The result was still the same.
Lu Ming was not sure what level Pei Yan's cultivation had reached, but no matter how high his cultivation was, he still had to be careful and cautious.
Knowing that it is a dangerous place, but still going there alone, this is not "bravery" but pure stupidity.
Lu Ming has made up his mind to become friends with Pei Yan. Whether out of friendship or his own selfishness, he does not want Pei Yan to go to the outer sea monster area to die.
"I know! But the path of cultivation is to go against the will of heaven!"
Pei Yan still had a world-weary face, but he spoke passionately, "Danger and opportunity always exist together."
"If we don't go through the training because we are worried about the danger, then we will never be able to ascend to immortality in our lifetime."
Besides, this matter concerns his Ah Qing, so Pei Yan has all the more reason to go.
Pei Yan didn't say the rest of the words.
Lu Ming already had a prejudice against Aqing. If he knew that he went to the outer sea monster area for Aqing, Lu Ming would definitely "misunderstand" Aqing even more.
Although Lu Ming was just an "outsider", after spending these days together, Pei Yan felt Lu Ming's kindness.
Well, let’s just be friends for now.
Since we are friends, we should take proper care of each other's emotions!
Lu Ming: ...
Haha, if you don't tell me, can't I guess it? Lu Ming looked at the little cat demon who had just been able to speak with a complicated look: Beauty is a disaster, this is probably what it is like.
Oh! Another King Zhou! His friendship with Pei Yan had not yet reached the point where "honest words are unpleasant to the ear", and it was taboo to talk about deep things with someone who was not very close to him.
Lu Ming was unable to persuade him successfully, so he could only send his blessing: "Okay, Brother Pei, I hope everything goes well for you in the Outer Sea Monster Territory!"
"Thank you!"
Pei Yan's thanks this time were more sincere.
Just like that, Lu Ming had just entered the city, and within half a day he was out of the city again.
The guard at the city gate: ...What happened to the young master? Ignoring the sidelong glances and suspicions of the crowd, the two brothers Lu Ming and Lu Li sent Pei Yan to the outside of Xihai City.
Outside the fairy city is an endless sea.
The waters surrounding the West Sea Fairy City have blue sky and white clouds, and rippling blue waves. Everything is so beautiful and peaceful.
The deep sea area west of Xihai Fairy City is a dark blue that is almost black.
Although it was far away, one could still seem to hear the roars of beasts coming from the deep sea.
Swish! Pei Yan threw out a small object.
He mobilized his spiritual power, and the little thing that was only an inch in size instantly grew larger.
"Coffin, coffin?"
Rubbing his eyes, Lu Li could hardly believe his eyes.
What did he see? Someone actually made a flying magic weapon into the shape of a coffin? What kind of hobby is this? Or is this person a demon? Where did my brother meet this friend? Could it be that he was deceived? Lu Li clenched his fists, and his fox eyes were full of vigilance.
My brother is just too kind and is easily deceived and exploited.
The little white cat in the spirit beast bag: ...Wuhu, is this the legendary "brother complex"? Suddenly I understand why Lu Li turned evil.
Alas, the word "love" is hurtful.
A certain immortal cultivation system: ...This silly girl has no awareness of being the heroine at all.
I'm actually shipping the male lead and the supporting male couple online!
I just hope you can always be so happy and laugh in the future! After releasing the coffin, Pei Yan leaped up with the cat in his arms.
Standing on the edge of the coffin, Pei Yan nodded slightly at Lu Ming: "Brother Lu, goodbye!"
"Brother Pei, goodbye!"
Lu Ming bowed in return and said goodbye to Pei Yan reluctantly.
Boom! Pei Yan activated his spiritual power, and the huge black sarcophagus moved instantly.
The brothers Lu Ming and Lu Li looked up, and then saw that the sarcophagus turned into a meteor and flew rapidly towards the direction of the demon realm in the outer sea.
"Alas, I don't know when I can meet Brother Pei again!"
"Brother! Go back! Everyone has left!"
"...Okay! By the way, A-Li, I finally have enough materials to make the elixir. Once the elixir is successfully refined, I will give you one."
"Brother, I don't need it! You should keep it for yourself."
"obedient!"
"……good!"
The two brothers discussed things together and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
A certain little white cat: ...Wow, this should be considered as danmei orthopedics! A certain immortal cultivation system: ...Haha, just go for it as much as you want, you can go for any unpopular or weird CP.
Humph, I'm waiting for the day when you cry! ...
In the sky, a giant black sarcophagus was flying quickly.
"Here! Spiritual Stone!"
Gu Qingcheng waved her little paw, and a pile of mid-grade spirit stones appeared in front of her.
"good!"
Pei Yan did not refuse, nor did he act pretentiously as if he was "humiliated".
He happily accepted the things that Aqing gave him!
Only a few were left in the slots of the sarcophagus, and the rest of the mid-grade spirit stones were put into Pei Yan's storage bag.
There is a lot of space in the coffin, like a room.
Pei Yan made some simple arrangements, ahem, mainly to make a comfortable nest for his own Ah Qing——
The cat bed was made from the shell of a thousand-year-old golden-backed sea turtle, and was lined with gorgeous feathers of a two-headed phoenix-tailed seabird, as well as decorations such as bones and skins of animal skins similar to those of a level five demon beast.
The little kitten's nest is sturdy and comfortable.
The key is that it looks very "awesome" at first glance——
All the materials are made from monsters above level five.
Gu Qingcheng was very satisfied and started refining it in front of Pei Yan.
She directly refined these precious materials into a super comfortable cat bed. Although it looked inconspicuous, it was actually a high-level earth-grade spiritual weapon.
There are formations that can be used for cultivation and to resist external attacks.
In addition to the comfortable nest, Gu Qingcheng also has delicious meals——
"This should be the four-eyed spirit fish that lives in the deep sea."
Pei Yan came out of the sea with a three-foot-long fish in his hand.
He landed steadily in the coffin and said to Gu Qingcheng with a smile, "Ah Qing, there is a record about the four-eyed spirit fish in the Book of Outer Sea Monsters."
"Don't be fooled by the small size of this fish, its meat is delicious and rich in spiritual energy."
A fish that is more than three feet long is considered a very large fish by ordinary people.
But, in the outer sea demon realm, to the monsters, they are just small fish.
"Ah Qing, how would you like to eat it? Steamed fish? Grilled fish? Or fried fish?"
Pei Yan's "service" was very thoughtful.
Gu Qingcheng licked the cat's unique three-petal mouth. She could already smell the overbearing fragrance of the four-eyed spirit fish.
It smells so good.
The fish is silver all over and has four eyes. They are not fake eyes like spots, but real "four eyes".
The four-eyed spirit fish was still alive, its cheeks twitching and its tail whipping vigorously.
For such a "lively" fresh fish, any more processing steps would be disrespectful to it.
"Eat fish sashimi!"
Gu Qingcheng gave the answer directly.
"Okay! Let's eat fish sashimi!"
Pei Yan has a very good temper.
With a swish, Pei Yan used his spiritual power to transform into a dagger.
With a series of swishing operations, slices of fish meat as thin as cicada wings appeared on the white jade plate in front of Gu Qingcheng.
The thickness and size are consistent, and they are arranged in an orderly manner. Countless pieces of sashimi are combined together, like a blooming peony.
Fortunately, Lu Ming was not here, otherwise, seeing Pei Yan "serving" a cat demon so carefully, he would definitely curl his lips -
Tsk, it's just a cat demon, just having a meal, but it's so "particular"! Well, even if Lu Ming is here, even if he can't help but complain, Pei Yan doesn't care.
He just liked taking care of Aqing. Every time he touched her clear and clean eyes, and every time he saw her enjoying delicious food, Pei Yan had a wonderful feeling that he was still alive.
And this dirty and ugly world has become less disgusting!
"Ahh! Ahhh!"
Gu Qingcheng lay in front of the white jade plate and ate with big mouthfuls.
The main feature of this kind of fish sashimi, which is killed and eaten right after, is the word "fresh".
No need to add seasoning, just enjoy the taste of the ingredients themselves.
What's more, this is a four-eyed spirit fish, which is famous for its delicious meat among the monsters, so its taste is even more wonderful.
In addition to the taste, there is spiritual power in the fish meat.
This kind of "food supplement" is no worse than taking pills.
The key point is that the ingredients are not medicinal materials, they do not cause erysipelas and have no side effects.
Gu Qingcheng enjoyed the meal very much.
Of course, she didn't forget Pei Yan: "Little Pei Yan, you eat too!"
Pei Yan: ... "Little" Pei Yan? So, he is considered a junior by his own Ah Qing? However, once a beast's intelligence is awakened and it evolves into a demon beast, its life span will definitely not be too short.
Pei Yan’s bone age is twenty years old, and Aqing is already a fourth-level monster. It may have lived for hundreds of years.
Therefore, it seems reasonable for her to call herself Xiao Pei Yan.
"It doesn't matter. Big or small, Aqing and I are each other's only one!"
They depend on each other, they practice together, and they are an inseparable pair.
Everything else doesn’t matter!
"Okay! Thank you, Aqing!"
Pei Yan picked up a pair of chopsticks and shared the food with Gu Qingcheng without any disdain.
While flying and eating and drinking, the giant sarcophagus finally arrived at the border between the West Sea and the outer sea monster realm.
There is a clear distinction.
On one side is the calm blue sea, and on the other side is the turbulent dark sea.
There are also many "small islands" that are particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
"Ah Qing, we're here!" Don't worry, I'll protect you!
"Yeah!" Great, I'm finally starting to let go. This time, I must give it a try to see how much "tolerance" the Heaven has for Pei Yan!
