Chapter 59 Medicine King Valley
In the end, of course, it didn't work. Although Cheng Jiu has an adult soul, she is only nine years old now. Ying Yue would only let her see it if she were completely insane.
Just like the brothers Gongcheng and Gongyu, even though they took out this erotic picture book, one of them did it just to preserve evidence, and the other had no idea what it was at the time.
Children are usually shy about these things, so it's rare to see someone like Cheng Jiu who has no sense of shame and is even eager to try.
Yingyue put the storybook into her ring: "Do you two junior brothers still remember what we were discussing at the beginning?"
The blue-eyed, golden-haired lion, who was protecting the four people as they whispered to each other, nudged the two who were playfully fighting with its large paws.
"Brother, did you hear that? Senior Sister said we should continue our discussion, please stop fighting, please stop fighting!" Gong Yu pleaded.
"Hmph! I'll let you off this time, you idiot!" Gong Cheng straightened his clothes, and he was once again the handsome young man.
Cheng Jiu glanced at the three of them and summarized: "Since the incident really happened, it means that the little iron-eating beast was not lying when it told us, which means that it may have been born with knowledge."
“Yes, that’s right. Small iron-eating beasts that are born with knowledge are very rare among the demon race. I remember that there are usually only…” Yingyue fell into deep thought.
“Priest!” Miyagi affirmed.
There is only one god in this world, and that is the Ghost Emperor of the Ghost Realm. The cultivation world is unknown, as there is no god of worship there. However, the demon realm has a god of worship, and that is the Beast God.
In their eyes, it was the Beast God who gave them the ability to control demonic beasts, and everything they had was given to them by the Beast God.
Some people in the cultivation world have gone to great lengths and discovered that they still believe in the Heavenly Dao, which is to say, the Beast God = the Heavenly Dao.
The priests were their chosen intermediaries to communicate with the beast gods. One could say that the priests were a group of demons favored by the heavens.
If we convert that to the cultivation world, it would be the group from the Heavenly Mystery Sect. Judging from the Heavenly Mystery Sect's disciple recruitment, we can see how many priests there are in the demon realm.
So, in this situation, a natural-born priestess ended up in the Azure Glass Mountains, where they kindly picked her up and rescued her. If they didn't fleece her, they wouldn't be human!
However, the four of them kept their filthy thoughts to themselves, because if they spoke them out, the little iron-eating beast would definitely sense their blatant scheming.
“Once Wen Sishu successfully advances, aren’t we going to enter the secret realm for training? We can’t possibly take this little iron-eating beast with us!” Yingyue thought for a moment and suggested, “Should we take it back to the sect and let the sect leader deal with it first?”
“That probably won’t work!” Cheng Jiu thought for a moment and then rejected the idea: “This little guy would definitely not want to join our Guiyuan Sect.”
Although it always treats people with courtesy, it doesn't mean it's without a sense of vigilance.
Ever since the blue-eyed golden lion arrived, it had remained vigilant, staying close to the black bear. If it hadn't needed their help, it probably would have run away with the black bear long ago.
"This year, Medicine King Valley is trading bamboo syrup with the Iron-Eating Beast Clan. We can take the gold coins to Medicine King Valley," Gongcheng suggested.
"Oh right, how could I forget! Oh dear, I was standing there like a statue at the foot of the cliff, how could I forget something like this!" Senior Sister Yingyue patted her head, how could she have forgotten this? She hesitated again: "But Wen Sishu!"
After all, he was her junior brother, and she was really worried about leaving him here like this.
The little iron-eating beast, who had been paying attention to the conversation between the four, had also overheard their words and was preparing to take it to Medicine King Valley to find its clan directly.
It whimpered twice at the four of them, then pointed at the big black bear. The big black bear patted its chest responsibly.
This means that the big black bear can help protect Wen Sishu. It would be more than enough for a demon beast in the Tribulation Transcending stage to protect him, but all four of them looked away.
“Jin Yuan is very fast. When it tears through space and enters through the spatial passage, we can set up more defensive formations, and the return trip will be faster. We should be able to catch up,” Gong Cheng thought.
Yingyue thought about it carefully and thought it was a good idea. She took out a ninth-order array plate from the realm. Cheng Jiu took out his own array plate as well, and the two Gong brothers each took out a ninth-order array plate.
Four Rank 9 arrays enveloped the area, making it difficult even for a Mahayana-stage demonic beast to break through. A large quantity of top-grade spirit stones were also placed there as a source of energy for the arrays.
The four climbed onto Jin Yuan's back, and the little iron-eating beast also slowly moved onto Jin Yuan's back.
The four humans and one demon sat down. Jin Yuan roared at the big black bear, and its four strong hooves flew through the air, leaving a crack in the sky before it disappeared inside.
The spatial rift was a lightless environment. The four of them felt only darkness enveloping them, surrounded by the sharp sound of countless gales, but these were firmly blocked by the golden energy. All perception of time and space was frozen.
It felt like an instant, yet also like an eternity. When the light appeared before their eyes, they had already arrived at the southeastern border where Medicine King Valley was located.
As for the story of comprehending the laws of time and space in a spatial passage, that is completely untrue, because time and space, which are frozen, flow again the moment they leave the spatial passage.
The intense and overwhelming discomfort made the four of them dizzy and weak in the limbs! Some of them lost track of time and could only lie on Jin Yuan's back in a daze and feeling uncomfortable.
Jin Yuan had visited Medicine King Valley with his master before. Knowing that Medicine King Valley was located in Medicine Dust City, he headed towards Medicine Dust City without being told what to do.
On the other side of the Azure Crystal Mountains, the black bear dutifully drove away a group of demonic beasts that coveted the Demon Serpent's cave, and then went back to protect its cubs. It came three times a day, and surprisingly, no demonic beasts came to attack it.
The cultivation world actually has a very weak perception of the four seasons, since most of the plants that can grow here have spiritual power, except for ordinary crops such as grains and fruits, which are basically located in remote rural areas.
The trees on Guiyuan Sect are always lush and green, but Medicine King Valley is different. I don't know how it was designed, but it actually shows the changes of the four seasons.
Walking on the main street of Yaochen City, smelling the fragrance of osmanthus, the four of them were somewhat dazed, realizing that it was already autumn.
Once inside the city, Jin Yuan shrunk his body to the size of a palm-sized lion and perched on the palace's shoulder, like an exquisite decoration.
After all, the main cities of the five major sects prohibit large spirit beasts from roaming around.
There is a truly ethereal beauty here, like a misty rain, and everyone who walks through it feels an inexplicable sense of elegance and beauty.
Gongcheng pulled out a folding fan from somewhere; it had a jade frame and a snow-white skin. It was extremely eye-catching and beautiful, and Cheng Jiu and Yingyue couldn't help but glance at it several times.
He gently waved his folding fan and walked through the landscape painting, appearing from afar as a young man whose origins were unknown.
Some of the girls around him were looking at him shyly yet boldly. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the people watching him were all young girls, and he was just an 11-year-old boy, everything would be even more perfect.
The strange combination of four people and one demon, all unfamiliar faces, naturally attracted a lot of curious glances.
As the four of them walked along, they found that all they saw around them were pill shops, and there were quite a few people, both humans and demons, buying pills. It was truly worthy of being the main city under the Medicine King Valley.
It would be too foolish to just walk around and search for their target like this, so the four decided to find an inn first.
The largest inn in Medicine King Valley is Baofu Inn, which occupies a larger area and is decorated in a more magnificent manner.
Besides doing business with cultivators, they also do business with demons. You can see some strangely shaped demons coming and going in and out of the inn.
For demons, displaying certain parts of themselves is considered a beautiful thing, so you can see demons with horns on their heads, demons showing their fangs, and bird demons with a few more beautiful feathers on their heads.
These demons all share a common characteristic: they are all dressed rather elegantly, and they are all demon beasts sent by various races to Medicine King Valley to purchase elixirs.
If you're too rough, you might get kicked out by some alchemists with strange quirks.
As soon as you enter the inn, someone greets you warmly: "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay the night? If you're staying the night, what are your requirements? We have a wide variety of rooms to choose from."
His attitude was completely different from that of Na Pingtan, the manager of the Baofu Inn in Qingli City.
Cheng Jiu took out a high-grade spirit stone from his pocket and handed it to the waiter: "We heard that the Iron-Eating Beast Clan will be coming to Medicine Dust City."
The waiter touched the high-grade spirit stone and smiled broadly. Although the prices here were high, it didn't mean that all the customers were generous. This high-grade spirit stone belonged to a rare wealthy person.
He didn't ask any questions, but simply led the four people and the demon into the inn: "Oh, you mean the Iron-Eating Beast! It will be here in a couple of days, and it usually stays at our Baofu Inn. If you want to find it, you can wait for it here. If it really comes, we will definitely let you know."
The four exchanged glances. They really knew how to do business. However, if they were to wait in Medicine Dust City, none of them were the type to live a rough life, so they would stay at Baofu Inn.
So they booked a large private room that cost 100 top-grade spirit stones a day. It had five rooms, a hot spring, a swimming pool, and a sauna. The rooms were designed to mimic cultivation environments based on individual spiritual root attributes, so it was definitely worth the price.
