Chapter 1793: Xia Qingying
Su Zimo looked at the bottle and Dust Removal Talisman in his hands and smiled gently. He looked at the young woman and asked, “How may I address you, miss?”
That question was a little abrupt.
After all, to outsiders, the difference in status and cultivation realm between the two of them was immense.
However, there was no hint of blame in the young woman’s eyes and she merely smiled.
“Who do you think you are?!”
Right then, Commander Liang strode forward and glared at Su Zimo coldly, berating, “A lowlife like you is not qualified to ask about the name of the young mistress!”
Lowlife!
Su Zimo raised his brow.
This was the first time he had heard someone refer to him as a lowlife up till this point of his cultivation.
“Liang Qiu!”
The young woman frowned slightly and glanced sideways in displeasure. “I’ve told you many times that everyone ascended from the lower world. There’s no distinction between our statuses!”
“You’ve only ascended a couple dozen thousand years earlier than him. Why are you mocking him?”
“Mistress, you are right,”
Liang Qiu lowered his head slightly with a terrible expression but he did not dare to refute.
The young woman looked at Su Zimo and smiled apologetically. “My name is Xia Qingying. Liang Qiu is not a bad person by nature. He merely said it in a nasty manner. Please don’t take offense.”
Su Zimo smiled and nodded.
Liang Qiu glared at Su Zimo secretly and whispered to the young woman, “Mistress, there’s nothing much here. Let’s leave.”
The young woman nodded slightly and turned to leave once more.
…
“Alright, alright, that’s enough! Everyone, head back to look after your own spirit fields! There’s nothing much to see here!”
When Duan Tianliang saw Xia Qingying and Liang Qiu leave, he straightened his back and ordered everyone arrogantly.
Many people looked at Su Zimo with pitiable expressions before dispersing.
Duan Tianliang walked towards Su Zimo.
He was fat and not tall. When he arrived before Su Zimo, he even had to raise his head and look up.
Su Zimo’s expression was indifferent and his gaze was calm.
Duan Tianliang sneered, “Country b.u.mpkin, don’t worry. The mistress has orders for you to recuperate first so I won’t make things difficult for you.”
“Alright, you’ll live there,”
Duan Tianliang pointed to a straw hut not far away.
Su Zimo could not be bothered with that person. Arriving at the pit, he put away the Bronze Square Tripod and turned towards the straw hut.
“Pfft!”
Looking at Su Zimo’s back view, Duan Tianliang spat and sneered, “b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l, what’s a Grade 1 Black Immortal getting c.o.c.ky for?!”
“You’ll be in for it in a few days!”
The straw hut was simple and crude with a bamboo bed, table and a few bamboo stools.
Su Zimo had just escaped from the black hole in the starry skies and spent countless years curled up in the Bronze Square Tripod.
To him, this straw hut was a paradise.
After Su Zimo entered the hut, he tore apart the Dust Removal Talisman and a mysterious power enveloped him.
In the blink of an eye, the mud on his body vanished completely.
He took out a new set of green robes from his storage bag and pondered as he wore it.
Although he had already ascended to the upper world and arrived on the Dragon Abyss Star, he still had many doubts.
The greatest doubt was naturally which world this was.
Xia Qingying had once said that everyone had ascended from the lower world.
Was she referring to everyone in Snow Wind Ridge or the entire Dragon Abyss Star?
If it was the latter, that would be strange.
Were there no native living beings of the upper world on such a ma.s.sive star?
Also, there was the matter of his cultivation.
Was he only a Grade 1 Black Immortal after ascending through the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation?
In addition, he did not know the purpose of the two immortal herbs that he had to plant, the Essence Nouris.h.i.+ng Gra.s.s and the Rain Frost Flower.
Right then, footsteps sounded from outside.
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
Could Duan Tianliang be so anxious to cause trouble for him so soon?
“Young man?”
Right then, the person had already arrived at the door and knocked gently, calling out.
Su Zimo was slightly stunned. “Come in.”
The person pushed the door open and entered.
He had a dark face and an honest expression. It was one of the onlookers who had spoken up for Su Zimo a few times.
Su Zimo had some impression of this person.
The person was stunned when he saw Su Zimo who was neatly dressed after removing the mud.
“Young man, to think that you’re so young and refined, like a scholar,”
He said with a smile.
Thereafter, as though he recalled something, the person asked with widened eyes, “Young man, you’re not injured? But earlier on…”
“Those were only minor injuries. I’m fine after consuming the elixirs of the mistress,”
Su Zimo waved the bottle in his hands.
Actually, this was merely the powerful regeneration capabilities of the Green Lotus True Body.
However, Su Zimo had experienced being hunted by King Yun You before and knew in his heart that the secret of the Green Lotus True Body must not be exposed after he ascended to the upper world!
Otherwise, he would attract endless killing intent!
Su Zimo changed the topic and asked with cupped fists, “How may I address you, Fellow Daoist? Why are you here?”
“Heh!”
The person waved it off. “There aren’t so many rules in Snow Wind Ridge. You can just call me Old Yan. To put it nicely, I’m an immortal farmer. Actually, I’m just a farmer.”
“Right, I’m not sure yet. What’s the use of the Essence Nouris.h.i.+ng Gra.s.s and Rain Frost Flower that we’re going to plant?”
Su Zimo followed up with Old Yan’s topic.
“These two immortal herbs are used to refine an immortal pill called the Essence Condensation Pill,”
Old Yan said, “If you use normal breathing and expiration techniques to absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, your cultivation will be too slow. By consuming this Essence Condensation Pill, you can better condense Essence Qi and speed up your cultivation.”
“I see,”
A look of realization flashed through Su Zimo’s eyes.
Back when experts of the upper world descended upon Tianhuang Mainland and were all killed by Die Yue, she gave him many Essence Condensation Pills.
Those Essence Condensation Pills were now in the hands of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
At that thought, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat. He was prepared to find a time to try and establish a connection with the Martial Dao Prime Body.
Old Yan said, “Young man, you’ve just ascended. There are many things that are very different from the lower worlds in the upper world. Let me tell you beforehand lest you suffer.”
“Thank you very much,”
Su Zimo cupped his fists hurriedly in thanks.
Right now, he was worried that no one would be able to clear the doubts in his heart.
Old Yan said, “Cultivating in the upper world requires Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. Different cultivation techniques have different effects.”
“The s.p.a.ce of the upper world is extremely stable and the ground is even st.u.r.dier. It’s definitely impossible to tear through s.p.a.ce as casually as in the lower worlds.”
Su Zimo nodded.
When he first descended, he had already sensed something amiss.
Old Yan thought for a moment and continued, “Right, we Black Immortals can’t release Blood Rebirth in the upper world. You have to be careful.”
“Only the legendary Earth Immortal experts can regrow an arm, let alone Blood Rebirth!”
At that point, Su Zimo’s gaze turned cold when he thought of the Dragon Phoenix True Body that was destroyed by King Yun You.
