Chapter 40 - Invasion From Another Race
In midair, Bai Ye immediately circulated his spirit energy to forcefully suppress the force coming out from within his body.
Relying on his powerful spirit energy, he quickly took control of it. Just as he let out a sigh of relief and began to descend from the sky, an even more ferocious power suddenly came out from within his body!
"Ahhh! What"s going on?!" Bai Ye"s eyes widened, revealing a tragic expression.
"Ohhh… I…"
All of a sudden, Bai Ye was covered in sweat, as if he was suffering from immense pain.
"I can"t hold it in anymore!"
Boooot!
Bai Ye, who had yet to land on the ground, suddenly rose up once again. His speed was even faster than before, disappearing into the clouds in an instant.
"Where"s Master?" Zhang Jichen asked as he looked up into the sky..
"I don"t know." Wu Ying shook his head.
"…"
…
From that day on, Bai Ye became a merciless fart machine. No matter what he did, he was constantly emitting "spirit qi", and it was smelly and voluminous. It was even more terrifying than biochemical weapons.
After some time, no one even dared to approach the main hall anymore. Even someone as powerful as the First Elder could only choose to take a detour. From time to time, he would be able to see Bai Ye soaring into the sky. It could be said that Bai Ye was the first in history to do something like this.
In short, no matter how Bai Ye used his spirit energy to try to suppress it, nothing changed. In fact, the more he suppressed it, the more violent the eruption would be. There was even a time when the eruption hit the floor so hard more than ten cracks appeared.
Of course, this had no effect on Qin Jue. He directly set up a barrier outside the cliff to prevent the "poisonous gas" from being blown over by the wind and then continued his boring life.
After half a month, Bai Ye had finally resolved the side effects of the pill and returned to normal. Even so, no one dared to approach him out of fear that he would release another one.
After this incident, Bai Ye felt extremely ashamed. Thus, he made up his mind to never refine pills again!
When Zhang Jichen and Wu Ying heard this news, they were overjoyed. It was said that the two of them were completely drunk that day. They hugged and cried not because they were sad, but because they were too happy!
In fact, Qin Jue felt it was a bit of a pity. After all, Bai Ye"s pills were very "potent". It was just that he was unaware that he had been refining "poison pills".
If Bai Ye were to consider becoming a poison master, he might be able to achieve decent results.
…
"Uncle-Grandmaster! Uncle-Grandmaster! Wake up! Wake up!"
Qin Jue, who was sleeping, suddenly heard someone calling him, so he dazedly opened his eyes and realized it was Luo Weiwei.
"What"s the matter?" Qin Jue stretched lazily and kicked the wine pot by his feet. Only then did he remember that he had actually fallen asleep while lying here drinking last night.
"Yun Xi has vanished," the girl said anxiously.
"Yun Xi?" Qin Jue was stunned. He turned around, and sure enough, he didn"t see that weed.
"Don"t worry, it"ll be back soon," Qin Jue said indifferently.
Ever since Yun Xi could leave the soil, it would often go to places dense with spirit qi to cultivate. After all, what it cultivated was not the Pure Yang True Technique. Since it couldn"t absorb pure Yang energy to increase its cultivation, it naturally had to find a place where the spirit qi was denser instead.
As they were talking, Yun Xi had already run over from afar. A few blades of gra.s.s swayed with the wind, looking especially comical.
Seeing this, the girl was shocked and said in disbelief, "Didn"t you say that spirit herbs can only escape the soil when they"re past level four?"
"It developed sentience in advance. Of course, it"s different from other spirit herbs," Qin Jue said matter-of-factly.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, only spirit herbs at level five and above had the possibility of developing sentience and leaving the soil to move freely. If it wasn"t for Yun Xi possessing sentience beforehand, it would absolutely be impossible for it to run around now.
At the same time that the young girl saw Yun Xi, Yun Xi also saw the young girl. It had never had a good impression of the young girl, so it pretended not to see anything and walked past the young girl and then inserted itself into the ground.
The girl was speechless.
She was being ignored by a weed!
"Hmph, I won"t care about you anymore."
After being "neglected" time and time again, Luo Weiwei was a little angry.
Didn"t all girls think they were precious princesses? So why should Luo Weiwei always give in to the weed?
Thinking up to this point, the young girl made an ugly face at Yun Xi, jumped onto the blue stone, and started cultivating by herself.
Regarding this, Qin Jue was quite speechless. Yun Xi seemed to have a grudge against Luo Weiwei and would deliberately target her every time they met. Qin Jue even suspected that Yun Xi was also a girl because only girls would hate girls this much.
Just as he was in a daze, Yun Xi suddenly stretched out a blade of gra.s.s to touch him. Qin Jue understood and immediately took out a pot of spirit wine.
As Yun Xi continued to grow stronger, the amount of spirit wine it could absorb also increased. Qin Jue was already considering whether he should go somewhere else to get more wine. Otherwise, he would sooner or later finish all the wine in his storage ring.
Seeing that Yun Xi and Luo Weiwei had both entered a cultivation state, Qin Jue let out a sigh of relief. He raised his head, drank the remaining spirit wine in the pot, and opened his eyes to look.
Because he had already refined a gold-plated Gatling gun, Qin Jue no longer needed to watch any forging livestreams at all, so he simply searched for recent interesting stories.
Even though more than a month had pa.s.sed since it had been destroyed, the Wei Clan had still been one of the Seven Great Clans, and the chain reaction its ruination had caused was still ongoing. Brilliance City had also become the target of the other six great clans.
It had to be known that under the Wei Clan"s thousands of years of management, Brilliance City had long since become a true colossal power. Whether it was because of its Martial Dao strength or its geographical location, it was considered to be a significant force.
In particular, the cultivation resources in the vicinity of Brilliance City could be said to be extremely abundant. How could the Six Great Clans not covet them?
Even the Four Major Sects were stirring.
There were also many anonymous cultivators who revealed in private that the Archaic Mysteries Sect had already taken away the Wei Clan"s inheritance technique that allowed them to contract with fiend beasts. As for whether this was true or not, Qin Jue wasn"t sure.
As the current leader of the Four Major Sects, the Archaic Mysteries Sect had a deep foundation with many experts. Even if they were to take away the Wei Clan"s inherited cultivation technique, no one would dare to say anything about it.
In short, all of the top factions in the Southern Land had become active because of the destruction of the Wei Clan, and it seemed as if they would start fighting over Brilliance City at any moment.
Qin Jue continued to scroll down. Suddenly, he saw a serious news piece in the corner: Invasion from Another Race? Purple fiends are making a comeback. Several cities have fallen, and the Southern Land is in danger!
Although the t.i.tle was red, there were only a dozen replies. Most of them commented that the article was only written to attract attention and didn"t take it seriously.
"Purple fiends?" Qin Jue was stunned.
How come he had never heard of them before?
With this thought in mind, Qin Jue entered the words "purple fiend" and clicked the search b.u.t.ton.
Very soon, news about purple fiends appeared.
Purple fiends, also known as the Purple Spirit Race, were a race that had lived in the Southern Land 300 years ago. They were known for being violent, bloodthirsty, and warlike. They had often waged war against humans, causing lives to be lost and corpses to be strewn everywhere.
In the end, the coalition forces of the Four Major Sects had driven the Purple Spirit Race out of the Southern Land. The defeated Purple Spirit Race could then only hide in the border between the Southern Land and the Western Land to survive. After 300 years, according to the specialists, it was very likely that the Purple Spirit Race had already perished.
At this point, Qin Jue fell into deep thought. It was obvious that this Purple Spirit Race was extremely dangerous and had a blood feud with the Four Major Sects. The only question was, was this news real or fake?
