Taking out another blood whip from the ring, Mo Qiu released his wrist, and the blood whip whistled away, piercing through the head of the Jin Tianshou Jiao and taking out a golden inner elixir.
This was the inner elixir of a demon beast that had once reached the peak of the ninth rank! It was priceless and incredibly valuable. Yet, Mo Qiu merely glanced at it casually. He hurried on, using his demonic energy to absorb the spiritual power within the inner elixir and regain his balance.
When Luo Jianqing fainted just now, Mo Qiu was a little worried, but he was more relieved.
After confirming Luo Jianqing was alright, Mo Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. His face suddenly paled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He carried Luo Jianqing away from the battlefield, cursing non-stop, "Luckily I'm at Myriad Beast Ridge, and fortunately the Nine-Aperture Demonic Sound Bell rang. Tell me, you little bastard, why is it that every time I encounter you, nothing good ever happens? In the past, this was just a ninth-rank beast, and I could have killed it with a single glance. Now, I have to overdraw my spiritual energy... Do you think I owed you something in my past life?"
As if answering Mo Qiu's words, Luo Jianqing's head drooped weakly on his shoulder.
Mo Qiu turned his head and his eyes suddenly fixed, his body trembling slightly. But then he reached out and pushed Luo Jianqing's head aside with disgust, and scolded again: "It's too ugly, too ugly, such a beautiful girl has been turned into this, tsk tsk..."
When Luo Jianqing woke up, all he saw was a faint fire.
Mo Qiu, dressed in red, sat by the fire, grilling meat. The golden oil reflected a vibrant luster against the flames, sizzling as the juices flowed down the plump, tender meat, exuding a fragrant aroma. The bottom layer was already a little burnt, but the burnt aroma stimulated Luo Jianqing's taste buds, causing him, who had been fasting for years, to swallow uncontrollably.
Mo Qiu raised his eyes to look at him and said with a smile: "Awake?"
Luo Jianqing struggled to stand up and said bluntly, "You can tell at a glance that I'm definitely awake."
Mo Qiu's eyes widened immediately. "Hey, you bastard, Luo Jianqing, I saved you, so what's with your attitude?"
But Luo Jianqing smiled slightly, bowed, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mo Qiu."
Mo Qiu was a little bit overwhelmed by his sudden politeness. They stared at each other for a long moment, and finally Mo Qiu waved his sleeves, stealthily looking away, and said, "You...you should go wash your face. I can't stand seeing you like this."
Luo Jianqing: "..."
After Luo Jianqing washed the stains off his face, he quickly returned to the cave. He didn't know where he was, but Mo Qiu had actually found a cave. Inside the cave, there were various treasures piled up like a small mountain. The two of them sat in front of this treasure mountain and ate meat.
Luo Jianqing asked curiously, "Is this your treasure cave?"
Mo Qiu shook his head. "You've been unconscious for several days. I gave you some medicine, but you still haven't woken up. A few days ago, after I killed that beast, I carried you on my back and ran away to prevent those so-called righteous old guys from coming looking for us. Halfway through, a small snake happened to be very hospitable. It gave us its cave and enthusiastically gave us its treasure mountain."
Luo Jianqing suddenly had a bad feeling: "Where is that... demonic snake now?"
Mo Qiu's eyes curved with laughter, and her pretty face was full of smiles: "It's so enthusiastic. It was afraid that we would be hungry, so it took the initiative to let us roast it and eat it."
Luo Jianqing: "..."
Will anyone believe this nonsense if you tell it to others?
After chatting for a while, Luo Jianqing finally realized that Mo Qiu had come to Myriad Beast Ridge by chance. Mo Qiu was currently in the late Nascent Soul stage, but had hit a plateau. That's why he wanted to come to Myriad Beast Ridge to fight monsters and gain experience, both to improve his combat abilities and to see if he could achieve a breakthrough in a critical moment.
As early as when Luo Jianqing was discovered by the Golden Sky Dragon, Mo Qiu heard the sound of the Nine-orifice Demonic Sound Bell. He naturally knew that Luo Jianqing was in danger, and the Nine-orifice Demonic Sound Bell also told him Luo Jianqing's location, so he immediately rushed over.
...According to Mo Qiu, he was wandering around on the road and was not in a hurry to travel. He just came to take a casual look.
But Luo Jianqing didn't believe this. The two of them had lived in Flowing Flame Valley for three years, and he had long known how duplicitous his close friend could be. Judging by the speed at which Mo Qiu had flown, it was clear he was using all his strength, yet he still stubbornly refused to admit it.
Luo Jianqing didn't point it out, but after finishing the barbecue, he looked at Mo Qiu, the words came to his throat, but he finally swallowed them.
Seeing this, Mo Qiu sneered and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. I hate the dithering of righteous people. Luo Jianqing, when did you learn to be so coy? Are you trying to understand why I've become a late Nascent Soul after just two years?"
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Jianqing nodded slightly.
Mo Qiu spread his hands: "Because I am gifted."
Luo Jianqing raised an eyebrow: "A gifted talent of a first-grade, lower-grade root bone?"
Mo Qiu immediately stood up and said angrily, "Luo Jianqing, you are such an ungrateful bastard!"
Luo Jianqing pulled him back with a smile and said, "Stop bragging and tell me the truth. I'm very curious about what you've been through in the past two years."
Mo Qiu sat down unhappily. While biting the barbecue, he said, "Do you suspect that I killed someone and absorbed their spiritual energy?"
Luo Jianqing shook his head directly: "I believe you."
Mo Qiu was suddenly startled. He looked at Luo Jianqing with a deep gaze. After a long moment, he said, "But what if I really killed someone? I killed innocent people indiscriminately. My hands are full of the blood of cultivators. I have killed countless people along the way."
