Chapter 151
Should she go out or not? Those people are definitely waiting outside the woods. Even if one of them is led to the Spirit Well, the other two will probably be waiting for the drunkard at the foot of the mountain.
"You brat, hurry up and run! You idiot, this is a seventh-tier rat beast, which can be evenly matched with an eighth-tier Spirit Realm cultivator. Hurry!! Go get help!! The demon is seventh-tier, that short, hermaphroditic man, and the black-robed corpse demon is eighth-tier. Go now!! Otherwise, we'll both perish here!!" The drunkard held up a black shield, occasionally freeing his hand to throw spirit fireballs into the black rat's eyes.
The black rat seemed unprepared, but the fireball struck it without damaging its fur, a sight that would make anyone's eyes hurt.
Such strong defense!
Upon hearing this, Fu Le dared not linger any longer and rushed outside.
What does a drunkard have to do with her? What a load of rubbish.
It would be foolish not to take this opportunity to run.
I'm reluctant to part with the delicious elixir inside, but alas, I can't eat it!
Fu Le rushed out of Lingyun Mountain and immediately saw a large number of spiritual practitioners gathered outside, clearly alerted by the fighting inside.
"Hey, it's that little girl, she's alright!" The person in white robes was the first to spot Fu Le, and with a swift movement, blocked Fu Le's path.
Fu Le: She had clearly tried her best to escape, but they stopped her in just a few steps.
"Sister, that drunkard uncle is fighting with the rat beast, and he asked me to come and ask for backup." Fu Le pretended to be innocent and naive.
"Hahahaha... Sister... Little devil, call me Aunt Bai. I'm over 350 years old." The woman in white laughed, revealing a mouthful of big black teeth, seemingly in no hurry to save anyone.
"Is the one inside really a drunkard?" The figure in black robes moved closer, carrying an indescribable fragrance.
As the exotic fragrance penetrated his nasal cavity, Fu Le's face turned pale, and he felt dizzy.
"Corpse Demon, put away the Corpse Incense!! She's only at the first level, she can't withstand your poison!!" A white-robed voice reprimanded her from the side.
"I'll go in and take a look. You two can discuss what to do with this girl." The demon pouted her bright red lips and turned to leave.
“Ghoul, you go in with him. I’ll keep an eye on this girl.”
Fu Le quickly took out an antidote pill and swallowed it, but it didn't work. He took another one... but it still didn't work.
Fu Le: !!!
"It's no use. This is corpse poison, a special poison made by corpse demons, specifically used to suppress the flow of spiritual energy. Just stay put, you little devil." A smiling voice from the white-robed man rang in her ears.
Fu Le: ...
"What exactly do you want?" If you really wanted to kill her, why would you let her out?
At this moment, Fu Le felt nothing but helplessness.
With a sneer, the white-robed man pinched Fu Le's fair cheek. "You little rascal, you're always up to no good. You almost got us into trouble before. But we don't blame you. You can't get into our Maitreya Sect without being cunning and shrewd. I love your mischievous nature, hahaha..."
Fu Le: ...
Maitreya Sect? What the hell?!
The little prince climbed onto Fu Le's shoulder, making squeaking noises, and then pointed to the mountains. Fu Le could roughly guess what it meant.
Those few have all joined the War Rat's campaign.
"Aunt Bai, are all the ferocious beasts in Lingyun Mountain this strong?" If we can't beat them, then let's join them.
Hearing Fu Le's familiar question, the man in white robes smiled with satisfaction. That's more like it. Since we're here, let's make the best of it. That's what a smart person does.
"The spiritual energy inside has already liquefied. The lowest-ranking ferocious beast is probably this seventh-rank. The Black Rat Beast is notoriously lazy, yet it has been forcibly elevated to the seventh rank. There are countless ninth-rank ferocious beasts and spirit beasts, who are too lazy to cultivate, but they have been saturated with that spiritual liquid." The white-robed man's voice became even gentler.
"Is the highest level on the Spirit Realm the ninth-tier Spirit Realm? What about spirit beasts?"
"Yes, what is higher? I don't know. Spirit beasts and spirit beings are the same. However, to be precise, the ninth level of spirit beasts and ferocious beasts is much stronger than humans. If they hadn't already developed intelligence and were unwilling to give up the spiritual energy here, where would humans have a place to live outside?" At this point, the white-robed man paused for a moment, as if he had thought of someone.
Fu Le fell silent, sat down cross-legged, and since he couldn't leave right now, he would cultivate.
The man in white ignored Fu Le.
A few seconds later, Fu Le opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and stood up.
Damn it, my spiritual energy isn't circulating!
"What? Can't you circulate your energy?"
Someone rolled their eyes. Isn't that obvious?
Seeing the smug look on someone's face, Fu Le could only endure it. The feeling of being inferior in skill was really unpleasant.
Roar... Roar...
In the forest, the roars of beasts shook the heavens, bang bang bang... rustling rustling...
"Another ferocious beast has arrived!! The chances of survival are slim!!"
"Wow... a huge area!!"
"There must be more than two of them making this noise!!"
"Five, wait, six!!"
As far as the eye can see, there are rows of ancient trees that have fallen down, some with sharp blades, some with fireballs, some with ice balls, and some with earthen shields!
"Girl, you wait here, I'll go lend them a hand!" Finally, the man in white couldn't hold back any longer, left these words, and disappeared from the spot.
Fu Le frowned and stared straight ahead.
She's strangled her to death; she's been poisoned, and there's no way she can escape.
The whispers around him were all reports of the battle in the forest, making Fu Le's heart pound.
Don't die, or she'll be doomed too.
Why don't she go in and take a look? After all, she has a mortar.
Just as Fu Le was lost in thought, someone shouted, "Run! They're coming after us!!!"
Before she could think any further, she was already suspended in mid-air, speeding away from the vicinity of Lingyun Mountain.
"Girl, take your medicine and hurry up and leave!" A cold and sinister voice rang out from above. The next second, something was stuffed into Fu Le's mouth. It was icy cold and went down her throat before she could react.
"You brat, take these two booklets. We're going our separate ways. Remember, my name is Jiu Lao Jiu!! I'm your master now!!" Two books were shoved into Fu Le's arms.
"You drunkard!! How dare you steal my disciple!!!" The white-robed man exuded a fierce aura.
"Your cultivation method isn't fire-based, it's incompatible! Celestial Spirit, send my disciple to safety!!"
A giant black bird appeared out of nowhere, and Fu Le was thrown onto its back. The next second, the group of drunkards stood in front of the pursuing beast.
Fu Le turned around on the black bird's back and saw six ferocious beasts chasing after him, creating rolling waves of energy. The surrounding spiritual practitioners all ran away.
Six against four! There's absolutely no chance of winning!!
Two of the beasts were covered in flames, with ferocious heads and sharp fangs. What kind of beasts were they? They looked like rabbits, but had short ears.
Fu Le thought for a moment, then released the puppet beast, which leaped off the back of the black bird.
Phew! ! !
The black bird raised its head and let out a sharp, beastly cry!
Upon hearing this, the drunkard swung his sword to shove aside the ferocious beast in front of him. Turning around, he saw that the black bird's back was empty, but a bird-beast of indistinguishable species had appeared beside it.
"You brat!!" He saw the girl on the back of the unknown bird or beast.
"You drunkard, you idiot, concentrate!! That girl is fine!!" The white-robed man kicked the drunkard in the butt, just in time to make him dodge the giant claws swung by the ferocious beast.
Fu Le, riding on the puppet beast's back, manipulated the mechanism, slowly approaching the battlefield. After about a mile, she felt the immense pressure making it hard for her to breathe.
So powerful!! If she can't even get close, what can she possibly do?
Her firearms, which she had always been so proud of, couldn't even break through the ferocious beast's defenses here. The drunkard and his companions waved their hands, and everything was gone.
Fu Le, who had never felt so powerless, was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"You brat, run!!!" The drunkard, who had been slapped away by a claw, still kept an eye on Fu Le's actions, his throat tasting metallic.
Finally, a ferocious beast spotted Fu Le. Its eyes narrowed, and it attempted to charge at Fu Le.
Fu Le: !!!
"Screech..." It's that black bird!
It charged headlong into the ferocious beast that had broken through the encirclement!
At this moment, Fu Le dared not linger any longer and turned around to control the puppet beast to leave.
Seeing this, the drunkard breathed a sigh of relief and turned to focus on killing the ferocious beast.
"This is my first time taking on a disciple, and I haven't even had a chance to drink the apprenticeship wine yet!! You want me to die here?! No way!! Prepare to die!!"
...
The puppet beast's speed was pushed to the limit, unlike when it arrived, and its heart was heavy.
The misfortune was partly related to her, and she felt a sense of guilt that she hadn't killed Bo Ren, but Bo Ren had died because of her.
The little monkey noticed that Fu Le was in a bad mood, squeaked twice, and patted her shoulder to comfort her.
It's unclear how long they flew, but it took several days and nights. Apart from refueling the puppet beast and winding it up, Fu Le didn't stop to rest halfway like he did on the way there.
Soon, the outline of Qucheng City came into view.
"Something's up. A woman riding a bird or beast has arrived." Near the city defenses, someone was observing from the post station.
"It's a Spirit Master." The familiar aura of a Spirit Master.
"Speaking of Fu Le, when will she finally return? It's been half a year already, and several high-level spiritualists have been gone for a long time. Are we still going to wait here? We don't even know if she'll ever come back. What if she dies out there? Wouldn't all our waiting have been for nothing?"
"Just wait and see. The spiritual energy concentration here is pretty good. If you have nothing to do, just cultivate. Maybe you'll be able to advance to the Spirit Realm soon."
"Hehe... If only the Spirit Realm were that easy to cross."
While everyone was still complaining and sighing, Fu Le had already crossed the city defenses and entered the city.
Back in the village, it remained peaceful and serene.
"Hey, isn't that Miss Fu?!" Soon, someone spotted Fu Le.
"Oh, it really is her, it must be her! Quick, go and inform Zhai Qianqian."
We've been waiting for this Miss Fu for ages, and finally she's back!
As Fu Le walked in, everyone greeted her warmly, and she nodded and smiled at each of them before quickly leaving.
She had barely stepped into the courtyard when Zhai Qianqian and her family appeared.
"Miss Fu!!" Seeing Fu Le, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Zhai Qianqian was very excited. She was about to take a step forward when she was pressed down by an aura and couldn't move forward.
Hiss... Such a powerful aura!! This is... the Spirit Realm?!
"Miss Fu, you...!!" Zhai Qianqian looked at Fu Le excitedly. The latter nodded, quickly calmed down, and became peaceful.
Neither of the two brothers noticed what had just happened, and both stood respectfully beside their mother.
“Miss Fu, the chains you gave me are all stuffed up. I also borrowed five more ring pouches. Our ring pouches only have a short-term preservation function, so I was worried that if you came back late, the fruit would spoil. Fortunately, you came back so quickly, and the fruit is not spoiled at all.”
"Okay, thank you. Do you have enough money?"
"That's enough, that's enough, there's even an extra spirit stone." Zhai Qianqian handed over a spirit stone and said with a smile.
“Our employment relationship is over. This is your payment. Give me everything.” Fu Le handed over five level-one spirit stones.
"Yes." Zhai Qianqian took the spirit stone, put the one in her hand on the table, and then handed over Fu Le's chain and ring pouch.
"Take this piece as a token of my appreciation for your hard work. Also, please give this piece to the village chief for me. I'm sorry to have bothered you these past few days."
"Yes, thank you, Miss Fu. I will definitely deliver it."
After seeing the mother and her two children off, Fu Le closed the courtyard gate.
The next day, when Zhai Qianqian came to deliver some spiritual fruits, she found that the door opened as soon as she knocked, and it was quiet inside. Startled, she immediately went into the courtyard. On the stone table were five ring pouches and a palm-sized piece of gold, but nothing else.
Inside, the place was already deserted.
"Mother, Miss Fu is gone..." The eldest daughter-in-law, who had followed, looked lost and forlorn.
It's hard to find such a good employer again, right?
Fu Le left quickly because he was worried that his past actions would bring disaster to the village.
After all, she had indeed attracted the attention of many people with ulterior motives.
Qi Zong.
Yang Yan looked at the ring on the table and sighed. Where did Fu Le go? They'd been trying to contact him for over a month, but they still couldn't reach him.
If the distance weren't so great, the spiritual contract would have had a strong response.
Sigh, let's reconnect!
"Wow!!" My little finger felt a warmth; it was Fu Le who had contacted me first.
"Miss Fu!! You've finally appeared!!"
Three days later, Fu Le met Yang Yan again.
However, the moment Yang Yan saw Fu Le, the muscles on his face twitched.
"Fu Le!!!" Unable to contain his jealousy and shock, he let out a scream like a screeching chicken.
I know what you're going to say, shut up!
Yang Yan: ...
"Cash on delivery".
Yang Yan did as instructed, her expression indescribable. "It's true what they say, comparisons are odious, absolutely odious!!!"
Fu Le fiddled with the spirit-locking ring in his hand. "How do I use this?"
"If someone truly submits to you, a drop of their blood will bind them together. If they are not truly sincere, the blood will not mix. But you must first drop your fingertip blood onto that red crystal; that is for recognizing a master."
Knowing how to use it, Fu Le put it away and looked up at Yang Yan, "Besides Lingyun Mountain, where else is the spiritual energy most abundant? I want to find a place to cultivate in seclusion."
"You're going into seclusion again?" Yang Yan looked like he was questioning the meaning of life. How could someone be so fond of cultivation?
"Is there?" Fu Le asked again.
"Yes, the mountain behind our Weapon Sect." The Weapon Sect has a spiritual vein mountain, which is known throughout the Spirit Realm, but no one dares to touch it, because the spiritual weapons in the hands of the sect leaders of the eighteen sects all come from the Weapon Sect, and each of them has made a blood oath to protect the Weapon Sect from the calamity of being destroyed three times.
There were those fools who were blinded by the spirit stone mine and stubbornly ventured in, only to have their entire families wiped out.
This battle cemented the reputation of the Weapon Sect to this day, and there have been no more stubborn fools since.
"Can I go in and cultivate for half a year? It won't be more than half a year. You can name your terms."
"Give me another set of those skeletons."
"make a deal!"
Yang Yan: !!! He knew it!!!
