Chapter 113 - Saved My Life (2/2)
。
Yan Tianhen smiled at Lin Yan in embarra.s.sment.
Lin Xuanzhi said, “I’ve seen your《Imperial Corpse Technique》. Refining a corpse requires many different kinds of materials. Since we have the money now, let’s go buy a few of them .”
Yan Tianhen nodded and took a deep breath, “Okay.”
Yan Tianhen, Lin Xuanzhi and Lin Yan, who insisted on coming to Qing city’s neighbour to broaden his horizons, arrived at the market specially set up for cultivators.
According to Yan Tianhen’s request, Lin Xuanzhi purchased a total of 12 items: the poisonous tail of a scorpion in the year 300, the rhizomes of a Tyrannical Poisonous Bacteria in year 200, 3 Changming lamps with corpse oil that had been burning for at least a thousand years in tombs.
Of course, it was better to buy these items separately. If they had bought them all at once, it would easily arouse others’ unwanted suspicions, and thus, Lin Xuanzhi specially got Duan Yuyang to obtain a few of the items that weren’t easy to get a hold of.
Duan Yuyang only asked who would be using those items, and after Lin Xuanzhi said that Yan Tianhen was the one who needed them, he didn’t ask anymore questions. Within the time it took for one incense stick to burn, he had obtained everything they wanted and delivered the items into their hands.
He was so efficient that Lin Yan couldn’t help but click his tongue.
It was already late. Lin Xuanzhi stood at the entrance of the market, “What else do we need?”
Yan Tianhen said, “We lack corpse Qi.”
Lin Xuanzhi asked, “How do we obtain that?”
Yan Tianhen paused, “We can only get it from the dead.”
When Lin Xuanzhi heard this, he didn’t show any discomfort. He nodded and made light of it as he said, “Then let’s make a trip down to Ma.s.s Graves Ridge tonight.”
When Lin Yan heard this, his eyelids twitched as he said, “I won’t be going to that kind of place with you guys.”
Although he hadn’t thought much of the fact that Yan Tianhen was using a corpse to cultivate, he would like to politely decline going to the Ma.s.s Graves Ridge — a place that smelled like rotten corpses and was chock full of Yin Qi.
In the evening, at the Demonic Beast Inst.i.tute.
Ah Bai and Hu Po looked miserable as they tidied up the nest for a snake demon.
Ah Hen bit a soft feather in his mouth that he placed into the nest, then he spat, “Hu Po, why does a snake demon not sleep in trees, and instead sleeps in such a huge cave?”
Hu Po’s mouth was stuffed with feathers as well. He said angrily, “It wants to , how is it any of your business?”
Ah Bai nodded and continued, “Does that snake have OCD? It’s so insistent on laying its nest with feathers, and the feathers must be pure white too.”
Hu Po said, “How would I know?”
“Hu Po, I still think…”
“Why do you have so many questions? And 100,000 ‘why’s?” Hu Po roared.
Ah Bai was stunned, and immediately looked like he had been wronged, “Hu Po, I feel like your temper has been getting worse recently, and you’ve been especially impatient with me.”
Hu Po said gloomily, “I’m not specifically targeting you.”
“You are.” Ah Bai pursed his lips unhappily and lay down on the ground.
When Hu Po saw Ah Bai’s feeble and pitiful appearance, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
Hu Po walked over and nudged Ah Bai with his paw, “, you’re really angry?”
Ah Bai used his amethyst eyes to shoot Hu Po an accusing glance, and turned his head away to face the mountains, ignoring Hu Po.
Hu Po felt even more guilty now.
“I really didn’t mean to scold you, I just…… they make us lay their nest out for them everyday, we have to endure their beatings, and we don’t get enough to eat too, so I was in a bad mood. I had nowhere else to vent, so I flared up at you.” Hu Po spoke submissively in a coaxing tone, “Gege, don’t be angry
Ah Bai stood up and walked over to Hu Po, then pressed against Hu Po’s forehead with his own. “Hu Po, if you don’t want to do these things, then just leave them to me. My only wish is for you to be happy every day.”
Hu Po’s head dropped as he said with great frustration, “I can’t be happy. I feel like I’m really too weak.”
“You are indeed very weak~” The snake demon slithered over with its twisted body, then leaned on the face of a mountain looking all carefree. It a.s.sumed an enchanting posture and stuck out its red tongue, “You guys are obviously tigers, yet you look just like pugs. Even Great Aunt me can’t bear to watch any longer.”
Hu Po’s hairs immediately stood on their ends. He glared at the snake demon with his clear eyes that were filled with hostility.
The snake demon sneered, “, you still dare glare at me? I asked you guys to clean up my nest before I was done with my meal. Since this place is still a mess after I have finished eating, then neither of you need to have dinner tonight.”
“—!” Hu Po roared angrily at the snake demon.
The snake demon narrowed its slit eyes, “What are you dissatisfied with?”
Hu Po shouted angrily, “What right do you have to not let us eat?!”
The snake demon said unhurriedly, “Just based on the fact that I’m stronger than you. Amongst demonic beasts, the strong is king, it doesn’t matter how amazing or n.o.ble your bloodline is.”
At this moment, the bear demon that looked like it had been pregnant for 10 months trotted over to the entrance of the cave and said with a voice as loud as thunder, “Rascals, once you’re done with this side, come over to your Grandpa Bear’s side immediately to tidy it up.”
Ah Bai revealed a despondent look on his face.
