"Miss Bai, what should we do with these beasts?" Yun Yue pulled the five burly men over and asked, "Should we skin them alive, tear out their tendons, and grind their bones to dust?"
"Spare us, sir, spare us! We're willing to serve you like cattle and horses!" The fish and shrimp beasts hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Bai Qingqing looked at them, half-human and half-beast, and was about to say something when she suddenly remembered a question.
"Wukong, is it true that all alien races can transform into human form as long as they cultivate?" Bai Qingqing asked softly, her lips pursed.
“Complete transformation requires a Transformation Pill; these can only achieve partial transformation.” Wukong didn’t know why Bai Qingqing asked this question, but he still answered seriously.
"The spirit beast ingredients that the ancestors brought to the courtyard before could also partially transform, right?" Bai Qingqing asked, scratching her palm.
"Yes," Wukong nodded in reply.
Yun Yue was also completely baffled by Bai Qingqing's question.
What did Miss Bai mean by that?
Is there something wrong with the food?
That shouldn't be the case.
Bai Qingqing's face instantly turned ugly.
If they can all partially transform into human form, wouldn't that mean that if they have the chance to obtain a Transformation Pill in the future, they can all become human?
But she ate it.
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing immediately felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, and her head was throbbing with pain.
"Qingqing, what's wrong?" Yuexi hurriedly helped Bai Qingqing up and asked.
"No, this is not right," Bai Qingqing murmured.
"What's wrong?" Yuexi asked, puzzled.
Even someone as gentle and kind as her couldn't comprehend Bai Qingqing's feelings at this moment.
Because cultivators cannot eat mortal food, as it would pollute their spiritual roots.
However, cultivating immortality does not mean that one can go without food and drink, especially in the early stages of cultivation when one cannot reach that level.
Since we cannot eat ordinary things, we can only eat spiritual plants and spiritual beasts. This is a customary rule of the five continents.
Especially in large families, children are not allowed to eat ordinary food after they are born.
Although they did not have spiritual roots before the age of ten, everyone believed that consuming mundane items before the age of ten might affect the grade of their spiritual roots.
Those without the means can't do anything about it, while those with the means will deliberately avoid it.
But among these ordinary things, ordinary people are different.
The reason why the Transformation Pill is so precious, and why all the alien races want to transform into humans, is because humans are the darlings of this world.
After transforming into human form, cultivation will be easier than in beast form, and one will be able to go further in the future.
While mortals cannot cultivate, their flesh and blood contain a small amount of spiritual power.
It will not contaminate the spiritual root after consumption.
Eating more can be beneficial to the growth of cultivation.
Therefore, the human race that cultivates immortality builds cities to protect mortals from being invaded by other races.
As a result, conflicts constantly arise between humans and other races.
Of course, not all alien races feed on humans, so the relationship between humans and beasts is not always one of absolute hostility.
Bai Qingqing did not answer Yuexi; she simply closed her eyes slowly.
"Qingqing, Qingqing..." Yuexi felt a little flustered when she saw Bai Qingqing like this.
Bai Qingqing seemed not to hear, and slowly rose into the air.
“Qingqing…” Yuexi said worriedly.
“Madam, there’s no need to worry too much. With Master’s status and cultivation, he will be fine.” Although Wukong reassured her, his eyes were fixed on Bai Qingqing, and he gripped the golden cudgel tightly in his claws, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
But the next second, they were all unable to move.
I can only stay in that same position, standing still.
It was as if the pause button had been pressed.
I can't even speak.
Yun Zhan was the only exception.
He could move and speak, but when he realized that everyone else was unable to move or speak, he followed suit.
Bai Qingqing floated in mid-air.
The sky darkened.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, heavy and oppressive.
Golden lightning flashed through the air, and the wind howled along with it.
But it won't hurt any of them.
No one knew what Bai Qingqing was up to, so they could only watch helplessly.
A moment later, they saw a ball of light flying in from the horizon.
The size of a fist.
It suddenly disappeared into Bai Qingqing's brow.
Yuexi wanted to scream in worry, but at this moment she seemed to be frozen in place and could not do anything.
After the ball of light entered Bai Qingqing's brow, Bai Qingqing immediately became ethereal and indistinct.
"This world shouldn't be like this," Bai Qingqing muttered to herself, her eyes still closed.
Wukong, Yunyue, and the others did not understand what this sentence meant.
After a while, they saw a strange phenomenon appear in front of Bai Qingqing.
Spirit Ox, Black-striped Python, Spirit Chicken, Spirit Pig, King Crab, King Shrimp, Sea Urchin, King Fish...
Wukong counted them and recognized them all.
These were the ingredients they had previously sent to the courtyard, including several king crabs that Tian Susu had collected but hadn't yet turned into food.
Now, they have all come back to life in front of Bai Qingqing.
Not only that, their cultivation levels have also increased by three to five minor levels.
Apart from the Crab King and his group that Tian Susu had previously taken away, everyone else who had died once grasped a trace of the laws of life and death at this moment.
Then, they instantly returned to their ancestral home or the place where they were captured.
The black-striped python was initially bewildered, then its face lit up with surprise.
To die and be brought back to life.
Not only did he advance three minor realms, but he also comprehended a trace of the laws of life and death.
More importantly, the injuries from being struck by lightning have all healed.
In the future, it may be able to enter the realm of immortals.
Just as the black-striped python was overjoyed, a bolt of lightning as thick as a waist struck it precisely between the eyebrows.
And then...
That was it. The black-striped python crashed to the ground, then turned to ashes and vanished from the world.
Like it, Crab Eight, Elder Shrimp Three, and the two fish and three shrimp from before were all reduced to ashes by the heavenly thunder.
They have committed massacres of villages and cities more than once.
The Shrimp King stood blankly in the Shrimp Clan Palace, his joy at being resurrected intertwined with the fear of witnessing the Third Elder of the Shrimp Clan being cleaved to death once again.
Then his whole body started trembling uncontrollably.
Although it has never massacred a city, it has eaten many people, and I'm afraid it will be struck by lightning again later.
But after waiting for a while, it wasn't struck.
I breathed a sigh of relief, only to discover that it was imprisoned in this palace.
The sliver of life and death law that he had previously comprehended was instantly stripped away.
The three minor realms that had just been advanced to quickly fell back down, and even fell down several more minor realms, finally stopping at the early stage of the first level of the half-step immortal realm.
The other resurrected ones, those who had eaten humans, were in the same situation.
Those that had never eaten humans, such as wild oxen and spirit chickens, all advanced to the fifth minor level of cultivation and comprehended the laws of life and death.
In addition, their spiritual roots all advanced by one level.
Bai Qingqing, suspended in mid-air, became increasingly ethereal, seemingly so close yet appearing as if she were far away on the horizon.
Yun Zhan quickly glanced around and noticed that everyone's eyes were on Bai Qingqing, so he subtly leaned back.
That position was a bit tiring.
It's more comfortable leaning against the carriage like this.
Just as he adjusted his posture, Yun Zhan saw a ball of light floating out from Bai Qingqing's chest.
