82: Chapter 82 The Green Snake has some knowledge of fire magic and swordsmanship.

Xu Qing flew out of the River God Temple and headed downstream along the West River.

By connecting with the West River, his perception of the river became increasingly strong.

He could already sense a pungent evil energy ahead.

"Is that the West River Maiden up ahead?"

Xu Qing's figure was halted.

He was startled.

Had his name already become so famous?

Focusing his gaze, he saw a male Cultivator dressed in a white robe, with a jade belt wrapped around his waist, which emitted a spiritual light and appeared quite extraordinary.

"Human, who are you?" Xu Qing asked incredulously.

As a side note, after this evolution, Xu Qing's skill, Divine Sense, had improved from Level 4 to Level 5.

Therefore, he was able to use Divine Sense to transmit his voice.

"I am a Disciple of the Xuanyun Sect, Mo Yufei."

"I have come this time to meet the West River Maiden."

Mo Yufei was consistently respectful toward Xu Qing, leaving Xu Qing unable to find an excuse to attack.

Moreover, he was now a River God, a great Auspicious Beast, so he could not attack a human.

"How did you find me?" Xu Qing asked.

After all, his reputation only circulated among this small area of Mortals; how could it have reached the ears of such a Sect?

"My Sect, the Xuanyun Sect, possesses a register."

"It connects to the Luck of the entire Gaoyuan Kingdom."

"Within the Gaoyuan Kingdom, beneath the rivers, the West River, being one of the best, has manifested a Righteous God."

"The name of the West River Maiden naturally appeared in the register."

Mo Yufei seemed to have no hostility toward Xu Qing.

"..."

"The name that appeared on that register is... West River Maiden?" Xu Qing asked, his tone tinged with bitterness.

Although Mo Yufei did not understand why this West River Maiden would ask such a question, he still answered respectfully.

"Since this is the West River, it is naturally the West River Maiden."

Xu Qing almost fell apart.

His first proper name to be spread in the Cultivation World was actually West River Maiden.

After adjusting his mood for a while, Xu Qing looked at Mo Yufei again.

"Our Dao Cultivation is equivalent, why are you so respectful to me?"

Xu Qing did not believe that he, a mere self-proclaimed River God, would be valued.

However, the result was unexpected to Xu Qing.

"A Righteous God of a region, connecting the land and mountains, is extremely rare."

"Those who can succeed, whether human or Yao, are all possessors of great Luck and great benevolence, suppressing the Luck of a region and protecting its stability."

"What's more, the West River Maiden has achieved the status of this great West River Righteous God with a Yao body; it is naturally worthy of respect from Cultivators of our generation."

Mo Yufei's tone was filled with reverence, without a hint of pretense.

Xu Qing found it strange; was this really that difficult?

Didn't he just build a temple, kill some evil spirits, and occasionally manifest his presence?

So, he had actually been "whitewashed" in the upper echelons of the Cultivation World.

And cleaned thoroughly, at that.

He had completely become an officially registered Auspicious Beast!

What beast tide in the Swamp of Death, what slaughter of Cultivators in the Monster Beast Mountain Range?

He didn't know who this black-listed Resurrection Green Snake was.

He was now the Lisheng Green Snake, the Righteous God of the West River.

His household registration had been properly filed.

Xu Qing was in a great mood and didn't care that the name on his household registration was West River Maiden.

It was good enough to have a registration at all.

"I have come this time to ask if the West River Maiden would like to join our Xuanyun Sect."

"As long as the Maiden joins, we will certainly ensure that the Maiden's path of cultivation remains smooth."

Mo Yufei finally explained his purpose for coming.

Of the three great rivers in the Gaoyuan Kingdom, only one had a Righteous God.

And this West River, second only to the three great rivers, had actually birthed a Righteous God, even if it was still very weak right now.

But the future was promising, the future was promising.

Moreover, a Righteous God suppresses the Luck of a region and connects the mountains and rivers; just bringing one into the Sect could greatly increase the Sect's Luck.

At this time, the seven kingdoms were at war, wasn't it all for that ethereal Luck?

"If I don't join, what will your Sect do?" Xu Qing was still a little afraid of retaliation.

"Maiden, you jest. The West River Maiden being able to become this West River Righteous God naturally makes you an Auspicious Beast of the region."

"Even if you do not join the Sect, the Xuanyun Sect will still treat you with courtesy."

Mo Yufei smiled, always feeling that this green snake was a bit too sensitive.

Why was he so afraid of Cultivators?

If Xu Qing knew Mo Yufei's thoughts, he would definitely scold him to the heavens.

You are chased by humans from the moment you are born, and you have almost been killed by humans several times; let's see if you are afraid of people.

"I was born in the great mountains and have grown accustomed to being idle."

"I will not join your esteemed Sect."

Xu Qing did not want to join any Sect for no reason.

Who knows, they might trick this Snake Snake into the Sect and then dig out his kidneys for Alchemy.

"I will respect the West River Maiden's wishes."

Xu Qing did not understand; this guy was too polite.

Was it really that hard to see a River God? He didn't feel it was hard at all.

"Did the West River Maiden come to this place to slay evil?"

Mo Yufei naturally also smelled the thick evil energy nearby.

"Naturally."

Xu Qing was too lazy to correct the person's address of "West River Maiden."

He was tired.

It was written like that on his household registration, what could he do?

"Then I am willing to offer a little help to the West River Maiden."

Xu Qing also wanted to see the capabilities of this Cultivator, so he naturally did not refuse.

As long as he didn't steal his kills, Xu Qing didn't mind having an extra fighter at all.

The man and the snake flew downstream.

Soon they arrived at the place where the evil spirit was causing trouble.

The evil energy was quite thick, with nearly three hundred years of Dao Cultivation, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, a human body, and black tentacles beneath it.

Smelling the Aura of the Cultivator, the evil spirit didn't care whether it could win or not, and charged up roaring.

"It is only an evil spirit after all, without wisdom."

"Let me use a little fire."

Mo Yufei gently flicked his finger, and a ball of orange fire was ejected, turning into a fire tiger that roared and pressed down.

The evil spirit waved its black tentacles, colliding with the flaming tiger.

With a sizzling sound, steam filled the air.

The evil spirit was actually suppressed by the tiger, its Aura weakened by several points.

"Good Fire Arts." Xu Qing's snake eyes brightened.

"A small trick, Maiden, you flatter me."

Mo Yufei was clearly quite proud of this hand of Fire Arts.

Moreover, although this West River Maiden had an extraordinary status as a Righteous God of a river.

But after all, he had only recently become a god, and his Power Of Will from incense was unstable.

He was currently still confident that he could suppress this new River God.

However, what happened next made the pride in his heart vanish instantly.

The green snake spat out a mouthful of Green Fire, and with a wave of its tail, a green sword flew out.

The Green Fire coiled, entwining the green sword, transforming into a Green Fire flood dragon.

"How can this green snake know how to play with swords!" Mo Yufei was shocked.

Xu Qing curled his tail, grabbing an ice evil jade ruyi scepter.

The ice evil jade ruyi scepter shone with a pure white flowing light, circles of which entwined the end of the green tail white hair sword, connecting a touch of white tassel to it.

"Go!"

The Green Fire Sword Flood Dragon had flowing flames, Sword Qi crisscrossing, and following the green snake's command, it roared and pressed toward the evil spirit.

The evil spirit desperately twisted its tentacles, wrapping itself in circles.

But under the might of the Green Fire Sword Flood Dragon, it dissolved like spring snow, dissipating the evil energy.

Only a green sword remained on the West River.

"... The West River Maiden is also proficient in Sword Dao and Fire Arts?"

Mo Yufei was silent for a while.

This Snake was a bit too versatile.

"I know a little, I know a little."

"This Snake actually specializes in the Dao of Artifact Refining."

"This green tail white hair sword and ice evil jade ruyi scepter are both clumsy works of this little snake."

"..."
