59: Chapter 59 Green Snake Breaks Through to Late Foundation Establishment Stage
"By the way, where is Lin Donglan?" Xu Qing looked at Xu Linger and asked.
"Um, Senior Brother, didn't you say you would let her go?" Xu Linger replied.
Xu Qing thought about it; he did seem to have said that.
But at the time, Xu Qing didn't know the truth of the matter.
He had just felt that he had robbed her, tied her up, poisoned her, and forced her to fight for him.
It was just a slight twinge of conscience.
But knowing the truth, it was completely different.
The Tree Spirit had initially wanted to occupy the body of that unlucky person, Lin Donglan.
As it turned out, he had stumbled into it by accident.
And then, he, the biggest unlucky person, had just happened to block the disaster for Lin Donglan.
Xu Qing absolutely could not tolerate suffering such a great grievance.
It was always him taking advantage of others; this was the first time someone else had taken advantage of him.
If he could, he had originally wanted to train Lin Donglan into an excellent tool, working hard to pay off her debt to him.
As it turned out, she had actually run away.
Come to think of it, Lin Donglan was indeed quite unlucky.
She was spotted by a Golden Core Elder in the Sect who wanted to take her as a cauldron.
When she refused, she was sent on a mission inconsistent with her strength to wear down her arrogance.
As a result, she was targeted by the heaven and earth spiritual root, which wanted to occupy her body.
Then, by accident, she was robbed, poisoned, and recruited as a fighter by him, working herself to the bone.
A big, capital "miserable."
"Forget it, I'll let her off the hook."
"But if we meet by fate, I must tie her back to pay off the debt." Xu Qing thought to himself.
"How much longer do you have until you return to the Sect?" He looked at Xu Linger again and asked.
"Autumn."
"Then it's estimated you won't be able to stay for long."
Of course, Xu Qing definitely had no feelings of reluctance.
It was just that by then, this mountain would only be left with himself and the Silly Snake.
It would be much lonelier.
After all, he and the Silly Snake were both very quiet snakes and didn't like to move.
After the Silly Snake changed her temperament, she rarely slacked off; apart from Cultivating, she would just space out.
Xu Qing didn't know what she was thinking about when she spaced out.
"Senior Brother Qing, after the Sect Grand Competition at the end of this year, I will come back to see you, Senior Brother, next spring."
"As for the New Year, I won't be able to make it back."
Xu Linger looked at the Green Snake, feeling a little reluctant.
Although this Green Snake often bullied people and swindled her Spirit Stones, he was unexpectedly sincere and didn't disguise himself, which made her appreciate him.
In the Xuanji Sect, fellow disciples were always scheming against each other.
"Busy, everyone is busy, it's good to be busy." Xu Qing started playing with a meme that only he could understand again.
This was a very new art.
"Alright, I'm going into seclusion to achieve a Breakthrough to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage."
"If Lin Yumo comes during this time, just brush her off."
Xu Qing decided to achieve a Breakthrough to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
Then he would continue to accumulate Dao Cultivation to prepare for a Breakthrough to the Golden Core.
"You are going to have a Breakthrough!" Xu Linger couldn't quite accept it.
Could it be that she was really going to let Xu Qing have a Breakthrough first and solidify his title as Senior Brother?
Watching others have a Breakthrough was more uncomfortable than losing one's own Realm.
"Of course, This Snake is a Resurrection Spirit Snake with heaven-sent talent." Xu Qing said cockily.
Afterwards, the deeply discouraged Xu Linger returned to her Immortal Cave to stay in seclusion.
She, Xu "Super Hardworking" Linger, was going to Cultivate hard.
The Silly Snake also returned to her cave.
Seeing both the human and the snake leave, Xu Qing gazed at the sky for a while, then crawled back into the cave and blocked the entrance with a giant rock.
He took out the black flood dragon horn and hung himself on it.
He balanced the white flood dragon scale on his head, circulated the "White Flood Dragon Heart Art," and remained motionless, his whole body beginning to emit a faint spiritual light.
The entire snake looked like a snake statue carved from top-grade jade.
His Perfection Dao Cultivation began to have a Breakthrough at this moment.
The exuberant Spiritual Qi seemed to submerge the entire cave, and a thin mist of Spiritual Qi began to form around Xu Qing.
The cave seemed to fall into a standstill.
...
It was autumn.
The mountain where Xu Qing was located was filled with red and yellow colors.
Fallen leaves covered the ground in a layer.
This mountain, located between the Monster Beast Mountain Range and the Central Region, had also become a Forbidden Ground for the surrounding Yao Beasts.
However, many snake-type Spirit Opening Demon Beasts and small demons gathered here.
Many Mortal snakes also came to make nests here.
However, the snake demons would not approach the vicinity of the mountain top.
After all, they were just here to rub off on the big boss's Demonic Qi for protection, so as not to be eaten by some natural predator Yao Beasts.
If they approached rashly and happened to displease the landlord, it would be more trouble than it was worth.
The Snake Snakes were still very wise.
Sometimes, Mortals entering this mountain to pick herbs became scarce.
After all, there were too many kinds of snakes; one could see a snake after walking a short distance.
The humans in the north also gave this tall mountain a name: Snake Cave Mountain.
At the top of Snake Cave Mountain, the area around the cave sealed by the giant rock had accumulated a thick layer of fallen leaves and dirt.
In front of the blocked cave, there were not many fallen leaves; it was quite clean.
As usual, fallen leaves kept drifting down.
But when the sun set, a three-colored snake would slither over, sweep away the fallen leaves with its tail, then take a look at the cave, flick its tongue, and leave.
Inside the cave.
A Green Snake slithered down from the black flood dragon horn, stretching its slightly stiff body to its heart's content in the spacious cave.
The Green Snake's scales contained a restrained green light, smooth as jade.
Its body was slender, and its pair of ink-colored round pupils flickered slightly with green light.
[Ding, Dao Cultivation Breakthrough by two hundred years]
[Realm Breakthrough to Late Foundation Establishment Stage]
Xu Qing circulated his Demonic Power.
The amount of Demonic Power did not increase too much, but in terms of quality, it was greatly improved.
He flicked his tail, and the green flood dragon ring flew off his tail and floated in front of him.
The improvement in the quality of his Demonic Power made him want to re-refine this Spiritual Artifact.
He spat out the green flood dragon pearl, input his Demonic Qi, and urged the green flood dragon pearl to refine the green flood dragon ring.
A more pure Flood Dragon Qi than before flowed out from the green flood dragon pearl, bit by bit entwining and merging into the green flood dragon ring.
The scales on the green flood dragon ring became even more lifelike.
It was soon completely re-refined.
Compared to before, the spiritual light was more restrained and much easier to control.
At least he didn't have to worry about it choking himself if worn around his neck.
But after getting used to wearing it on his tail, changing it to his neck felt a bit uncomfortable.
Moreover, when worn on his seven-inch mark, the style of the green flood dragon ring looked a bit like a collar.
So, it was better to wear it on his tail.
"It's time to go out." Xu Qing didn't know how long this Breakthrough had taken.
Perhaps it would be better to prepare a Magical Artifact to record time in the future.
Moving the giant rock away, Xu Qing poked his head out.
A scene of autumn colors.
When he entered the cave, it was still all green.
Xu Qing had a feeling of being in a different world.
His Divine Sense covered the mountain.
Xu Linger's Immortal Cave was already empty, and the Silly Snake was obediently Cultivating in her cave.
"Did she leave?"
"If you had left later, I could have seen you off." Xu Qing sighed.
"Busy, everyone is busy, it's good to be busy." Xu Qing started playing with the meme again.
Well, the Green Snake admitted that playing with the same meme often was very boring.
Xu Qing intended to go find the Silly Snake and ask how much time had passed.
But then he thought about it and retreated back into the cave.
"I won't disturb the Silly Snake."
"I'll wait until the Silly Snake comes over to ask."
Xu Qing felt the mountain through his Divine Sense, his snake mouth seemed to be smiling; this mountain had a bit of a... feeling of home.
"No, no, if I'm like this, I'll be killed off!" Xu Qing was startled, quickly shook his snake head, and came back to his senses.
Be a good Green Snake, beware of being killed off.
