Chapter 496 Holy Tower
The next morning, Meng Qingyin got up early to tidy up Qin Feng's forging room.
But she only cleaned the carriage; she knew nothing about the equipment and tools Qin Feng needed for forging.
Qin Feng had no objection to this, only saying that she would find a solution herself.
Meng Qingyin let her go.
After breakfast, Qingfeng and Yuanbao went into the planting room. Recently, the Fortune Fruit was in its fruiting period, and Qingfeng was taking great care of it, afraid that even the slightest mistake would cause the Fortune Fruit to fall off.
As for Qin Feng, she went out after breakfast. She didn't say where she was going, but she probably went to find forging tools. Meng Qingyin didn't ask any further questions.
After cleaning up the dishes, Meng Qingyin cut a large handful of pea shoots and went to the Tower of Babel.
She suddenly realized a problem: Ye Yingjun had been in the Tower of Babel for so many years, and he couldn't get out of the Tower of Babel on his own. Moreover, the Night Demon Clan was vegetarian, so what did he eat to fill his stomach?
She had overlooked this point until she met Ye Liye yesterday and learned the origin of their names. Only then did Meng Qingyin connect the dots and think of Ye Yingjun.
So she carried a large handful of the freshest pea shoots to the Tower of Babel.
Ye Yingjun's eyes lit up as he leaned closer, his voice filled with surprise and delight: "My lord, you actually brought me flowers? This is the first time I've ever received flowers, I'm so touched!"
Meng Qingyin looked down at the bright green pea shoots in her arms and wondered if Ye Yingjun's eyesight was not very good.
Where does it look like a flower?
"These are pea shoots I just picked," she said, shoving them into Ye Yingjun's arms. "They're for you to eat, not flowers!"
Ye Yingjun wasn't disappointed when she said it wasn't a flower; instead, he accepted it with a smile, saying, "Even though it's not a flower, I'm still happy that you remembered me!"
Meng Qingyin sat directly on the jeweled chair, watching Ye Yingjun simply holding the pea shoots in his arms, showing no intention of eating them.
She asked curiously, "Aren't you going to eat now?"
Ye Yingjun held the pea shoots tightly, saying, "I won't eat them. This is the first time someone has given me a gift. How can I eat them?"
Meng Qingyin: Aren't you hungry?
"I'm not hungry."
Meng Qingyin asked again, "What have you been eating all these years?"
Ye Yingjun thought for a moment, "I guess I'll eat everything."
Meng Qingyin exclaimed in surprise, "Should? Don't you know what you ate?"
Ye Yingjun explained, "This is my soul form. It cannot eat, nor does it need to eat. My physical body is still on Night Orchid Star. The Night Demon people will feed my physical body. As for what they feed me, I have no idea."
Meng Qingyin almost forgot about Ye Yingjun's soul body. The main reason was that his soul body had a physical form and didn't look like a soul leaving the body at all, so Meng Qingyin forgot that it was his soul body.
Since it is a soul, it is naturally unable to eat.
Meng Qingyin suddenly became very interested in Yelan Star: "I remember you said that Yelan Star has no sunlight, so how do the plants grow?"
Ye Yingjun: "In the long process of evolution, the plants on Night Orchid Star no longer need to rely on sunlight to grow, but instead rely on demonic energy."
"Demonic energy..." Meng Qingyin murmured, "So, your planet is a place abundant with demonic energy. Is the demonic energy there all pure and without impurities?"
Speaking of his homeland, Ye Yingjun said with pride, "That's right, the demonic energy on our Night Orchid Star is very pure, and the reason why our Night Demon Clan has such great power is also inseparable from the pure demonic energy."
"Demonic energy is a sacred gas that can cleanse the impurities in our bodies and enhance our strength. However, pure demonic energy cannot be directly absorbed by objects, so we can only settle for absorbing the pure demonic energy from plants. Over time, our Night Demon clan has developed the habit of eating vegetarian food."
"I remember you said that this Tower of Babel is the sacred tower of your Night Demon Clan. Why is it revered as a sacred tower by you?" Meng Qingyin asked again.
Ye Yingjun scratched his head: "It doesn't have any special meaning. It seems that my grandfather's generation of Night Demons thought it was too tall, and they couldn't see the end of it at a glance. It looked very sacred, so they designated it as the Holy Tower of our Night Demon Clan."
"..."
Meng Qingyin never imagined that the reason the Tower of Babel became a holy tower was because of its height.
You Night Demons are really something.
"You just said that the demonic energy on Night Orchid Star is very pure and without impurities, so why is the demonic energy in the Demon Tower full of impurities?"
Ye Yingjun looked helpless: "It's because it's been polluted by the turbid air here. Our Night Orchid Star's atmosphere has a special substance that can prevent pure demonic energy from being polluted, but it's not here."
Meng Qingyin felt it was a pity. If the pure air in the Demon Tower hadn't been polluted, perhaps the Three-Pointed Blade would have absorbed the pure demonic energy much faster.
"My lord, why are you suddenly asking me this?"
Meng Qingyin: "It's nothing. By the way, since the demonic energy of this Tower of Babel originates from Yelan Star, will this demonic energy be quickly exhausted?"
She would refresh the tower every day, but the demonic energy in the tower was not inexhaustible. Didn't that mean that the demonic energy in the tower would be quickly depleted?
What if the Three-Pointed Blade still hasn't been fully developed after the demonic energy is exhausted?
“No way,” Ye Yingjun shook his head, “The demonic energy in the Tower of Babel will never be completely consumed.”
Meng Qingyin was taken aback: "Why?"
Ye Yingjun scratched his head: "I don't know the specific reason either, but I heard my grandfather say before that there is an invisible link between the Tower of Babel and Yelan Star, and demonic energy can be continuously transported into the Tower of Babel. Even if the Tower of Babel is not on Yelan Star now, the link still exists, so there will always be demonic energy in the Tower of Babel."
"..."
So, this is the real reason why your grandfather's generation revered the Tower of Babel as a sacred tower, right?
Meng Qingyin really didn't know what to say, but she was relieved, because this way the Three-Pointed Blade could continue to absorb pure demonic energy.
Ye Yingjun held the pea shoots in one hand, and with the other hand took out a small object from his pocket and placed it together with the pea shoots.
Upon seeing it, Meng Qingyin casually asked, "What is that?"
Ye Yingjun explained, "This? It's a bellflower seed. Bellflowers are unique to our planet Yelan. When the wind blows, they make a beautiful sound like bells. Every time I see this seed, I think of my days on Yelan. It's something very important to me. Now I'm putting it with this bunch of pea shoots. They're both very important to me."
A plant seed from the planet Night Orchid?
Meng Qingyin suddenly had an idea: if this idea could be realized, it might speed up the training of the Three-Pointed Blade!
