103: Subdued the water demon! The incense offerings surged!
Xu Qing was just thinking that he should make an effort; with the strength of some of his wives improved, plus the increasingly effective Spirit Pill he refined, he could prepare for a second child.
However, the question from the two Monkey Demons piqued his interest.
But upon hearing that the East River Dragon King was an old man, Xu Qing shook his head.
Under the command of Fat Ball and Skinny Egg, the big demons were already preparing a stove.
Even Six Liang had become active; having lived deep in the mountains for so long, it had never had a chance to taste fish.
After all, they were all big demons with over a thousand years of Cultivation Level, and their efficiency was extremely high.
In just a moment, a raging fire was already burning.
The hawk big demon from Wind Chasing Ridge carefully fanned the flames to control the heat, Six Liang took out herbs to start seasoning, the Black Bear Spirit from Fierce Tooth Mountain took out its treasured honey, and the Spider Spirits from Crimson Blood Cave spat out spider silk to fuel the fire.
The two Water Demons were scared out of their wits, not knowing what they had said wrong, but they were about to be cooked at the slightest disagreement.
At the critical moment of life and death, White Baby Black finally had a realization.
The Black-faced Water Demon thought of the monkey's previous answer and, in a flash of inspiration, roared:
"Wait! Our Dragon King has a princess who is sensible and well-educated. She has studied with academy scholars since childhood and is proficient in all sorts of arts like zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Most importantly, she is as beautiful as a flower, comparable to a Fairy in the heavens!"
"Ah... yes, yes, yes, there is indeed such a princess!" Black Baby White, the White-faced Water Demon, nodded repeatedly.
The fire was extinguished, and the big demons turned to look.
Black Baby White, the White-faced Water Demon, hurriedly began to explain, while White Baby Black, the Black-faced one, added a sentence from time to time.
After a while.
Xu Qing nodded. The East River Dragon King had orders from the Fengxian Division, so he would definitely come to the mountains to cause trouble for him.
Then there would be a reason to deal with him.
With golden vertical pupils looking at the two big demons in front of him, Xu Qing said indifferently: "Open your minds and defenses, do not resist."
The two Water Demons didn't know what Xu Qing wanted to do, but they nodded nervously.
Xu Qing then used a Spell to set a Soul Seal Restriction on the two Water Demons.
"You are now under a Restriction. If you harbor any ulterior motives, your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering will be the end of you."
Without needing Xu Qing to say more, the two Water Demons could already feel a tremor originating from the depths of their souls. Terrified, they dared not harbor any crooked thoughts.
"After you go back, if there is any movement in Yunzhou, send a message back immediately," Xu Qing said.
After killing the Fengyang City God and other Underworld Officials, he had formed a grudge with Yunzhou.
Now he needed a few eyes and ears to keep an eye on the movements of Yunzhou at all times; otherwise, a lack of intelligence might lead him to make wrong judgments.
"Understood, understood."
The two Water Demons nodded in unison.
"Go back."
Xu Qing dropped this sentence and let the big demons release Black Baby White and White Baby Black.
After the two Water Demons left, Six Liang, who had been holding back for a long time, finally exploded.
It knelt on the ground with a thud, took out the small booklet from its bosom, and began to denounce the actions of Fat Ball and Skinny Egg.
Listening to those long lists of crimes, Xu Qing couldn't help but glance at the Monkey Demon.
The Fat and Thin Guardians were so scared they knelt down immediately, not daring to refute.
After a long while.
Xu Qing said: "It is indeed outrageous."
Immediately, he placed a Restriction on the two Monkey Demons and passed a Spell formula to Six Liang.
"For the next half year, let them assist you. If they don't listen, you can recite the incantation to discipline them."
This punishment was worse than killing the Fat and Thin Guardians, and the two Monkey Demons turned pale as if they were mourning their parents.
They wanted to beg for mercy, but seeing Xu Qing's gaze, they quickly closed their mouths.
Six Liang was overjoyed; if Xu Qing hadn't been there, it would have tested the effect of the Spell on the spot.
"Finally, they have fallen into my hands, finally, they have fallen into my hands..."
The Hedgehog Spirit's smile was twisted, and it muttered like a madman.
It looked at the more than six hundred major crimes in the small booklet, thinking that for every crime, it would recite the incantation once, and not a single time could be missed.
"Yunzhou is currently experiencing a rebellion, but you must not be slack. All necessary precautions must be in place. If there is any negligence, you will be severely punished!"
"Understood!"
The order entered their ears, and the expressions of the big demons became serious.
Subsequently, Xu Qing distributed some Spirit Pills to them. These were loyal core forces, and training them well would be useful in the future.
After dismissing the troops, Xu Qing turned and returned to the Taihang Mountain Peak.
The three sisters of Bai Ling were still chatting.
Xu Qing did not disturb them; he went to the other side of the mountain peak and took out several jade bottles.
He cast his Spirit Eyes and saw streams of pure green Qi surging from outside the Taihang Mountains. The quantity was exaggerated, gathering into a river that spanned the sky, and finally, all fell into the jade bottles.
"There is so much Incense Offerings!"
Xu Qing could perceive that these Incense Offerings were very pure, without any distracting thoughts, and of high quality.
Picking up a wisp of green Qi, a series of faint voices entered his ears.
"Mountain God, please manifest. Our Li family is willing to worship the Mountain God for generations."
"Mountain God above, I hope my poor child can have a good reincarnation in the next life."
"Finally, I can drink a mouthful of clean water. My Liu family is saved. The great kindness of the Mountain God will never be forgotten..."
This was the Incense Offerings from all over Fengyang County.
Xu Qing went down the mountain, galloped through the Jingyue River, and fought against the Fengyang City God and other Underworld Officials; the commotion was huge.
The people on both sides of the river, and even those in more distant places, vaguely saw a winding figure in the dark clouds.
After the Hunters under the Taihang Mountains obtained prey, they would usually sell it, and over time, the legend of the Mountain God spread.
Previously, most people did not believe it.
Most of them made a living by farming, not Hunters who relied on the mountains, and they worshipped proper deities like the City God.
But in the year of severe drought, they had prayed for rain several times, and the City God and the local deity had no response; they had seen it all.
Yet the Mountain God had truly brought down heavy rain.
The two formed a sharp contrast.
This sweet dew gave them hope, so naturally, they became extremely pious.
For a time, many households had quietly added a spirit tablet.
Xu Qing looked at the full jade bottles, the green Qi inside was about to overflow.
It was time to use some.
He took out two jade bottles and left them aside; the Fengxian Division would definitely cut off the Incense Offerings of the Jingyue River God, so he had to leave a portion for her.
Subsequently, Xu Qing drew out a wisp of green Qi and began to use it to temper his Physical Body and Bloodline.
His Bloodline was quietly changing, his entire Physical Body had improved to varying degrees, and some things hidden deep in his Bloodline were quietly condensing.
At the same time, the prompt tone of the System sounded in Xu Qing's ears.
The last part of the female demons under the Taihang Mountains who had not yet given birth also gave birth to Offspring at this time.
Pure magic power appeared out of thin air in his body, increasing his Cultivation Level.
In the System panel, the bloodline points were increasing rapidly.
From the original five hundred, it soared all the way, gradually approaching the threshold of one thousand.
After a long while.
A roar came from Xu Qing's body, dull as thunder, triggering the weather of heaven and earth, and a black cloud flashing with electric light instantly descended in the sky.
