74: Tu Shan Yiyi's feelings! Earthly Fiend Technique - Immobilization!
"Such great kindness, the Tushan clan will never forget it!"
"Thank you, Snake King!"
The fox demons expressed their sincerest gratitude.
After Tushan Yiyi finished speaking, she looked up and secretly observed Xu Qing, her mind filled with chaotic thoughts.
Xu Qing saved her sister, which, to her, was almost like saving her own life.
Adding it all up, he had saved her life twice.
If you also count his promise to help Tushan, that would be three life-saving acts of kindness!
Even one act of life-saving kindness was hard to repay, let alone three in a row?
How should she repay him?
Tushan Yiyi racked her brain, constantly thinking about what treasures in Tushan could possibly be worth these three great acts of kindness.
The fox demons quietly carried the bed back to the wooden house, leaving only Tushan Yiyi to face Xu Qing.
"What are you spacing out for?"
Xu Qing's voice entered her ears, and the girl suddenly woke up, awkwardly clutching her skirt.
"No... nothing," she stammered.
Xu Qing nodded and turned to tidy up the Pill Furnace.
This move was called 'feigning indifference to catch'.
Tushan Yiyi looked at his back, gritted her teeth, and followed him.
She came to Xu Qing's side, lightly bit her rosy lower lip, and said:
"Your kindness is truly too great. As long as you speak, you can take anything from Tushan."
The girl's face no longer held its usual cold allure; it was full of embarrassment.
She paused, then seriously began to list things: "The most precious things in Tushan are the ancient texts left by our ancestors. I'll take you to choose later; you can take whichever you like.
Besides that, there are four spirit fruit forests that can be moved to your territory, and many Spirit Medicines, which can also..."
"I'm not interested in these."
Xu Qing shook his head, interrupting the girl.
"Then... then what do you want? Our Tushan isn't ungrateful," Tushan Yiyi said, feigning composure.
“What do you think?”
The green snake's golden eyes looked at the Fox Demon Girl.
This was 'retreating to advance'!
Tushan Yiyi's heart tightened. She nervously rubbed the corner of her clothes with two slender fingers and said, "I don't understand divination, how would I know what you want?"
Xu Qing looked at Tushan Yiyi, a slight smile in his eyes, and said nothing.
The Fox Demon Girl felt uncomfortable under his gaze, as if she had been seen through completely.
"You, what exactly do you want to do?"
She suddenly looked up, her eyes slightly red, feeling that the guy in front of her was too hateful!
How could he make her say such things?
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of grievance, and said with a slight sob:
"At a time like this, you're still thinking about such things? Even if... even if we were together, how long could we be? The Bear King could attack at any time!"
Xu Qing was waiting for these words. He calmly said, "If that Bear King fellow is tired of living, he can certainly come and try."
Tushan Yiyi was startled by his words, then shook her head again.
It wasn't that she didn't want to believe Xu Qing, but the Bear King's current strength was too great, and the combined forces were too vast.
Their Tushan, allied with the Taihang Mountains, might be able to hold on for a while.
But to counterattack and kill the Bear King was truly unlikely.
"What big talk, how can you comfort me like that..."
Tushan Yiyi lowered her head, rubbing the corner of her clothes, murmuring to herself.
Xu Qing knew the time was ripe, and there was no need for the Thirty-Six Stratagems anymore. He said:
"Whether it's big talk, you'll know when the time comes. I heard what you just said; when the Bear King is dealt with, don't even think about backing out."
His voice was firm, filled with powerful confidence.
Tushan Yiyi looked up at his words, meeting his golden eyes, her gaze becoming uncertain.
"Tomorrow, we'll gather our strength and arm-wrestle with that Bear King."
Xu Qing left these words and turned to depart directly.
By the pond, the tall, beautiful girl stood quietly, her emerald eyes silently watching Xu Qing's retreating back.
"If you can truly do it, even if it means going down to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, Tushan Yiyi will follow you and cling to you for life."
A gentle breeze blew, her hair fluttering. Her whispered words blended into the wind, carrying through every corner of the mountain forest... Xu Qing's words were not baseless.
Since he dared to say that, he must have a plan.
With a thought, the translucent System panel appeared before his eyes.
[Name: Xu Qing]
[Identity: Snake God of Mount Taihang]
[Bloodline: Pure Blood (400/10000)]
[Body Length: 85 meters]
[Cultivation Level: 4100 years]
[Number of Offspring: 3920]
[Earthly Fiend Techniques: Food Absorption, Array Arrangement, Universe in a Pot, Conceal Sun, Great Strength, Spitting Flame, Light Generation, Swallowing Soldiers, Spirit Expulsion, Wind Borrowing, Soul Seizing, Grain Avoidance]
[Spells: Mysterious Heaven Divine Light, Earth Hearing Technique, Breath Concealment Art, Five Thunders Incantation, Spirit Eyes, Divine Movement Technique]
The growth rate of Offspring had slowed down during this period.
However, with the accumulation of time, it still increased by several hundred.
His Cultivation Level broke through four thousand years, his Bloodline slightly improved, and the magical power within his body was vast, exceeding his previous level.
That Black Bear Spirit only had five thousand years of Cultivation Level, and the gap between them was not significant, both falling within the fifth-grade category.
If one had to draw a distinction, the Black Bear Spirit had just reached the Late Stage of fifth-grade, while he was just in the Middle Stage of fifth-grade.
The difference was minimal.
He had mastered twelve of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Arts, and also possessed thunder techniques and the innate Divine Ability, Mysterious Heaven Divine Light.
In terms of Spells, even some Daoist Cultivators might not be as proficient as him.
Moreover, Xu Qing had mastered the art of Alchemy, so even if he was injured, his wounds would quickly recover after taking Spirit Pills.
Under these various conditions, dealing with a Black Bear Spirit from the outer layer of a large mountain, who had no profound Legacy, was more than enough.
Furthermore, Tushan Nanyu's injury involved a ghost Cultivator, and his Soul Seizing technique was a natural counter to ghosts and Souls.
If he were to lose to the opponent under these circumstances, he might as well ram his head into Tushan Nanyu's chest and die.
Currently, the only thing Xu Qing needed to worry about was the large number of demon Cultivators on the opposing side.
If a battle ensued, his subordinate minor demons would inevitably suffer casualties.
Xu Qing thought for a moment and decided to refine some healing Spirit Pills for the Fat and Thin Guardians and other stronger individuals, to prevent them from dying on the battlefield.
Just then.
"Your 3921st Offspring is born, demonization at birth, with medium talent. You gain twenty years of Cultivation Level!"
"Detected that the host's demonized Offspring have reached one hundred, and the journey of procreation has reached a new node. You gain the Divine Ability: Earthly Fiend Technique - Immobilization!"
"Earthly Fiend Technique - Immobilization: Causes the body and Soul of a person, or even divine birds, exotic beasts, or any object, to be fixed, thus unable to move!"
Xu Qing's steps paused, and a brilliant gleam erupted from his golden vertical pupils.
