145: Chapter 145 The Green Snake is Impersonated

Green Treasure Pavilion's ice gambling has opened for business.

For Opportunity treasures from the Secret Realm, you only need a hundred taels of Spirit Stones to open one block of ice.

There are even cheaper ones for ten taels of Spirit Stones.

The next Nascent Soul Cultivator might just be you!

It scammed the vast number of Cultivators until their Spirit Stones were empty.

Xu Qing and the Xuanyun Sect, on the other hand, made a fortune.

Is Xu Qing short on Spirit Stones?

What kind of international joke is that? Xu Qing has more Spirit Stones than he can spend.

However, this doesn't conflict with the fact that he wants to earn even more Spirit Stones.

In the Snake Cave at this time, Xu Qing, who had endless Spirit Stones, spread a thick layer of Spirit Stones on the ground.

Lying on top of them was simply incredibly comfortable.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Xu Qing lay on the pile of Spirit Stones, holding the heaven-stealing lamp, and took a small sip.

His long tail Entwined around the pile of Spirit Stones; under the faint colorful light of the Spirit Stones, his green scales looked incomparably beautiful.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, I have an important matter to report!"

Xu Linger walked into the Snake Cave.

She looked at Xu Qing, who was holding the heaven-stealing lamp, his face flushed pink in a drunken state.

You see, Xu Qing wasn't just drinking wine.

This was a form of Cultivation; drinking green snake wine increased one's cultivation level without accumulating pill toxin.

Cultivating by drinking!

"What's with all the panic? It's unseemly. Tell this maiden what's going on slowly."

The drunken Xu Qing seemed to be revealing another side of his inner self that shouldn't be seen by other snakes.

"Senior Brother, this matter was actually relayed from the west."

Xu Linger told Xu Qing about what had happened.

In the Bodhi Kingdom to the west, a harmful snake demon has appeared.

It's also a green snake demon with a human torso and a snake tail, proficient in Transformation techniques; it actually transformed into Xu Qing's appearance to lure people into the water and eat them!

"Transformed into the appearance of This Snake!"

Xu Qing straightened up, the pink flush on his face receding slightly.

"Who is it?"

"Why did it transform into my appearance? Has it seen This Snake?"

He wanted to charge a fee for portrait rights infringement!

"...Senior Brother, you are now one of the Cultivation World's four great beauties. Your portraits and style of dress have already spread across more than half of the Cultivation World."

Xu Linger said after a moment of thought.

The heaven-stealing lamp fell onto the pile of Spirit Stones with a clatter, spilling a little bit of wine.

"What's going on?!"

"How come I didn't know!?"

"...I figured it wasn't a good idea to tell you, Senior Brother..."

"Now, wearing an eyepatch has become the new trend in the Cultivation World."

Xu Qing didn't want to start some kind of strange fashion trend in this place.

Those who didn't know might think he, Xu Qing Snake, had some strange fetish.

This Cultivation World is toxic!

"Let's ignore that for now. Continue talking about that snake demon."

Xu Qing obtained detailed information about the snake demon.

Its species was unknown; its true form should be a type of green snake.

After information about Xu Qing's portraits spread, it transformed into Xu Qing's appearance and lured Cultivators and Mortals into a river in the Bodhi Kingdom to eat them.

It had transformed into a form with a human torso and a snake tail.

Its cultivation level was at least at the Peak Foundation Establishment stage.

"I'm so, so, so angry I could die!"

Xu Qing flicked his tongue in anger, tucked the heaven-stealing lamp into his robe, flicked his tail, and left the Snake Cave.

To think it would ruin his reputation as a green snake!

Unbearable, absolutely unbearable!

"If Uncle Snake can bear it, Auntie Snake can't!"

"I'll stew it into snake soup and roast its snake kidneys!"

The righteous green snake must bring this evil to justice!

"I need to make a trip to the western Bodhi Kingdom. I'll leave the River God Temple to you."

Xu Qing said.

"Also, the Xuanji Sect has returned to its former state."

"You were originally a Disciple of the Xuanji Sect. If you want to return to the Xuanji Sect to Cultivate, it would be fine to go back."

Looking at this cheap Junior Sister he had abducted, Xu Qing said.

Of course, it wasn't because the green snake wanted to dismiss a tool he no longer had a use for! Absolutely not!

"There's no need."

"Didn't you say before, Senior Brother, that the orthodox Xuanji Sect is in the Noble Snake Alliance!"

"Besides, living here with Lin Donglan is very nice. We don't lack Spirit Stones or resources."

Xu Linger took Lin Donglan's small hand.

Lin Donglan didn't resist, and no change in expression could be seen on her face.

This iceberg was still maintaining her last bit of stubbornness as an iceberg.

"..."

A certain green snake realized belatedly that he seemed to have been fed a mouthful of dog food.

"Senior Brother, be careful on the way."

"Don't worry, I'm a Golden Core great demon now."

Xu Qing considered his life quite important.

Besides, he still had an Elder Li one-time summon ticket.

Xu Qing gripped the jade token on his chest; this was the jade token Elder Li had given him when dealing with the Prince's Mansion.

And she told him that if he encountered danger, he should crush the jade token, and she would arrive quickly.

She hadn't taken it back afterward, so it should still be useful.

"I choose you, Elder Li."

[Elder Li, Rarity: SSR]

To avoid attracting attention, after finishing his instructions, Xu Qing returned to the Snake Cave and entered the West River through the underground current he had dug before, traveling upstream all the way to the west.

After swimming upstream a long distance along the riverbed, Xu Qing finally flew out of the water and used his Escape Light for Flight.

The green Escape Light was like a meteor.

All the way to the west.

The Bodhi Kingdom, located in the westernmost part of the Cultivation World.

Its area was comparable to the Xia Dynasty, but it didn't border it; a chaotic Central Region lay between the two.

Like the Xia Dynasty, the Bodhi Kingdom also had a top-tier Sect guarded by a Soul Transformation cultivation level.

Bodhi Temple.

It was the temple where Master Silent Severity and the monk Fahai resided.

At this time, Xu Qing didn't want to attract the attention of the Central Region.

After all, the Central Region was far too chaotic; while the current Xu Qing wasn't necessarily afraid...

...it would be very troublesome if he got entangled with them.

So, Xu Qing kept flying along the border of the Central Region, where it met the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

After flying continuously for several days and nights, Xu Qing finally saw the border of the Bodhi Kingdom.

Even a lazy person like Xu Qing could rush over day and night.

One can imagine how angry a certain green snake was.

Impersonating him as the West River Maiden to scam and eat people!

How disgusting!

Entering the Bodhi Kingdom's border today, Xu Qing flew for a bit longer before descending from his Escape Light.

"Is this Bodhi Kingdom not peaceful either?"

Xu Qing, having descended from his Escape Light, hadn't walked far before he sighed.

A treetop swayed for a moment, and an arrow struck the ground at Xu Qing's feet.

The fletching of the arrow was still vibrating.

This shot hadn't missed; its purpose was likely just to intimidate Xu Qing.

Xu Qing stood still.

From the surroundings, Bandits wearing cloth armor and carrying sabers, crossbows, and bows began to emerge.

"Yo, yo, yo, what a beautiful lady!"

"If we catch her and sell her to the House of Red Joys, she'll be worth at least several hundred taels of silver!"

Veins popped on Xu Qing's forehead.

He, Xu Qing, was only worth several hundred taels of silver!!?

What an insult!

This was blatant humiliation!

Xu Qing was about to make quick work of these people.

He would first absorb their lifespans, then kill them and bind their souls to suppress them, placing them in the hell pagoda to burn and electrocute them for a thousand years.

But then he suddenly saw a piece of a red jade pendant at the waist of one of the Bandits.

The jade pendant was exceptionally crimson, but it was broken in the middle.

"...This jade pendant, where did you get it from?"
