Venerable Yuan continued: “Your Master, I used to travel around the Profound Realm, and I spent a lot of time and effort to find the Earth Spirit Core. However, I never found one until that accident happened.”
“Listening to Master’s such words, it seems we are very lucky this time. Will this thing help you in your recovery?”
Ling Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, but his expression showed concern.
Now, on one hand, he had to improve his cultivation base, and face various challenges. On the other hand, there was absolutely no harm in making his backer stronger.
Once Venerable Yuan recovered completely, it would be a great help for him.
“Thank you for your thoughts, but if you want this Master to recover, then this Earth Spirit Core is useless. In any case, this Master has already waited for so long, waiting a bit more is nothing. It’s enough if you look after this Master after your cultivation base became stronger.”
Venerable Yuan once wanted to restore his human form and his strength frantically. But after such a long time, he had become calmer. He no longer had the anxiety and urgency of the past.
“I will store it now!”
Ling Xiao said.
“I’m afraid that’s not easy. The Evil Beast Demon King has been staying in this mountain cave, and he can only use Earth Spirit Origin Stone, can’t use this Earth Spirit Core at all. I guess he can’t even store it. Since even he couldn’t do it, how can you do it?”
Venerable Yuan said with a bitter smile.
“It’s up to people. What he can’t do, I might not necessarily can’t do it.”
Ling Xiao naturally wasn’t being arrogant. He had the Landscape Martial Soul. This point was something the Evil Beast Demon King couldn’t compare with him.
Venerable Yuan shook his head but didn’t stop Ling Xiao. Young people should suffer some setbacks before they knew the hardships in the world. Otherwise, they wouldn’t learn their lessons.
However, after a moment, his eyes widened. They became even bigger than when seeing the Earth Spirit Core for the first time.
“Damn it, how did you do it?”
The Earth Spirit Core was gone!
He had seen Ling Xiao putting the Earth Spirit Core into the storage ring with his own eyes!
How was this possible?
“Master, it’s not important how I did it. In any case, now that I have got this thing, the next step is to deal with the Evil Beast Demon King!”
Ling Xiao was unwilling to explain more.
If he spoke more, he would be forced to lie, and if he lied too much, it would be difficult to make up in the future.
“Okay, but what are you going to do with those people in the prison?”
Venerable Yuan asked.
“Of course, make them owe me a favor. I think those people should be the martial artists of Heavenly Dragon Continent. If I’m in trouble in the future, having friends to help is better.”
Ling Xiao said after thinking for a while.
“But some people might not necessarily care about it, and they might try to kill you instead!”
Venerable Yuan warned.
“I naturally know this, so I will wait until the Evil Beast Demon King is dealt with and let them out together with Moon Maiden. At that time, we’ll just kill whoever dared to make a move. In any case, keeping such ungrateful things alive has no use.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“It seems like this Master was worried for nothing. You are not stupid.”
Venerable Yuan yawned and said: “This won’t do. I was just attracted by the Earth Spirit Core, I’m still too tired. I’m going to sleep for a while again. You should make a move first. If you need my help, just call this Master, and this master will come.”
“Okay!”
Ling Xiao placed Venerable Yuan back into the beast ring. He then returned to the fork and entered the path where the Evil Beast Demon King was recuperating.
However, just after he entered the path, a roar suddenly resounded.
Immediately afterward, a huge silkworm cocoon cracked open and a silkworm emerged from it!
This silkworm was two to three meters long, and its entire body was like white jade. It looked very beautiful.
But it was also a bit hideous.
Just think about it, that, however, was a two to three meters long silkworm! Moreover, the most troublesome thing was, its body was as thick as a water bucket. It was simply a short and fat python.
“Evil Beast Demon King?”
Ling Xiao felt the aura belonged to Evil Beast Demon King from the body of this fat silkworm. It was just that it was quite weaker than before.
“Heh heh, this fellow probably hates you. This fellow stayed here to heal because he can absorb the energy of the Earth Spirit Core. But now that you have taken the Earth Spirit Core, he can’t continue to heal himself.”
Venerable Yuan’s voice resounded again.
“Then, why didn’t he heal himself near the Earth Spirit Core?”
Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
“Stupid, there is no way to arrange a formation near the Earth Spirit Core, but if he wants to recover, he has to arrange a miniature Myriad Beast Blood Refine Formation.”
Venerable Yuan added: “Okay, don’t worry about these things now. Quickly kill this fellow. He is very weak now!”
“Master, are you joking with me? Even though he is weak, he is not someone I can deal with. Originally, I wanted to attack him while he was healing, but now that he is awake, we have to run away, and let Moon Maiden deal with him.”
Ling Xiao was not arrogant. He knew very well that even with his temporary strength of Half Celestial Worthy, confronting the Evil Beast Demon King head-on was just courting death.
At this moment, the Evil Beast Demon King that had just come out of the cocoon saw Ling Xiao. Immediately, the old hatred and new hatred overlapped, and he was so angry that his white-jade-like body turned crimson.
The silkworm’s expression also became very hideous.
“Quickly run!”
Ling Xiao had a plan now. In any case, he had already obtained the Earth Spirit Core. Even if he couldn’t kill the Evil Beast Demon King, as long as he could successfully run away from here, he would still make a lot of money.
However, this time, he was truly in trouble.
He hadn’t expected the fat Evil Beast Demon King was actually faster than him. The Evil Beast Demon King blocked his way out in an instant, giving him no way to run away.
Ling Xiao quickly stopped.
The Evil Beast Demon King was truly cunning. If he had chosen to attack directly, Ling Xiao could have used his true essence impact to slip away.
But now, he didn’t attack directly but blocked the only path out. This disrupted Ling Xiao’s rhythm.
The huge silkworm glared at Ling Xiao with anger and killing intent flashing through his eyes.
The ant he ignored, however, had repeatedly become a factor in his failure. He was very unhappy with this!
Very unhappy!
“Boy, don’t even think about leaving this place alive. This king will definitely torture you, and let you know the consequences of offending the True Demon Empire’s Nine Great Demon Kings!”
The Evil Beast Demon King roared angrily. Just his soundwave sent Ling Xiao flying, and Ling Xiao collided with the wall.
Although Ling Xiao was not injured, there was a big problem if he wanted to escape.
Could it be that I have to enter Ancient Golden Dragon State?
Is there no other way than that?
“Boy, do you want me to help?”
Venerable Yuan asked.
“It’s not necessarily for the time being. Only between life and death, the potential will be stimulated.”
Ling Xiao shook his head and rejected Venerable Yuan’s kind intention.
