Chapter 91: A Snail (1) (2/2)

The giant snail yelled out: “This, this is absolutely impossible! M-my body isn’t something that a mortal flame can refine, nor can I be boiled by ordinary water!”

Li Qiye smiled and said: “Someone else would try that, but, as for me, ah! I would never attempt this. If I know your origin, then I can immediately deal with you. Do you know what the water boiling you consist of? This is definitely a recipe to cook a snail soup; it is not only delicious, but it is also extremely nutritious!”

Hearing these words, the snail couldn’t help but taste the medicinal concoction inside the pot. Tasting this, he was immediately frightened. These medicinal herbs, once combined, would definitely remove his body’s protection!

At this moment, Li Qiye jumped onto the pot. He took out the Invisible Dual Blades and slowly said: “You should know that taking the blood of your tribe is an art. I’m aware that your body is like a treasure, impervious to weapons and Life Treasures; however, after being boiled in such a concoction, you should be clear about the consequences!”

Finished speaking, he unleashed a blade as fast as lightning.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qiye left many blade-shaped cuts on the giant snail’s body. Marks and marks intertwined together, creating a mysterious pattern. This pattern seemed like it was just a formation, but it was also a sermon of the heavens. It was a profound dao that collapsed the defense of the giant snail!

At this time, inside the many lines left behind by the blades, blood slowly seeped out. These drops of blood were extremely beautiful; they were like priceless jewels. They dripped down into the pot and mixed together with the medicinal concoction, emitting wave after wave of charming medicinal fragrances that caused others to drool and swallow their saliva.

“Longevity blood…” Seeing the drops of blood dripping down, Protector Mo was quite moved. To cultivators, longevity blood was extremely precious. There was a saying that one drop of blood was equal to ten thousand drops of worldly essence.

This method of Li Qiye caused the giant snail to be scared out of his soul. The snail belonged to a mysterious creation; it was not part of the Demon race, Heavenly Beasts, nor the Longevity Spirits. Its origin was heaven shaking and it was extremely rare in this world.

They had a body that could be considered impenetrable, but today, Li Qiye knew how to open their defenses; he also knew the method of obtaining their longevity blood. He knew that he had met his nemesis today!

Feeling the loss of his longevity blood, the giant snail felt his soul being sucked out and his True Fate becoming weaker and weaker. If this continued, he would truly be boiled into a pot of snail soup.

Finally, the heart of the giant snail s.h.i.+vered as he yelled: “You, what do you want? Y-you, say what you want to say!” If he kept on acting strong, then he would truly become a boiled snail soup!

Li Qiye took a while before he slowly glared at him. Finally, he spoke: “How about this? I just happen to be lacking a mount, so you can be by my side.”

Li Qiye’s words caused the group of Nan Huairen, standing at the side, to be silent. A grand character always picked a mount with a nice external appearance. Not to mention the types of supreme existences like True Dragons or Phoenixes, but even a dragon horse was cooler than this giant snail in front of them.

The giant snail contemplated over Li Qiye’s words. Even though their tribe’s numbers were few, they had a proud history. Not to mention, its cultivation was absolutely powerful. Becoming a mount for a human; this would be unbearable to him.

Li Qiye glared at the silent giant snail and said: “Don’t be prideful just because of your three parts bloodline. Even if the patriarch of your first tribe was still alive, seeing me, he could only call himself a junior!”

Li Qiye’s words shocked the snail. Its huge eyes looked at Li Qiye and asked: “You, who are you?!”

“Who I am is not important. Either you follow me or I will boil you and turn you into soup.” Li Qiye happily said: “In the future, if you diligently work hard with loyalty, I will pa.s.s down the Twelve Solutions to you!”

This phrase from Li Qiye caused the snail to be ecstatic. He wasn’t willing to become a mount for Li Qiye, and he would even prefer being boiled into a meat soup; however, when it came to the Twelve Solutions, this was a completely different matter.

He was aware that since the beginning of time until now, only one existence knew the Twelve Solutions, but Li Qiye clearly was not this existence! [1]

“Good, I promise you!” The giant snail surrendered by making a choice.

Li Qiye was without any surprise and said: “Use your True Fate to make the oath.”

In the end, the giant snail swore with his True Fate. This scene caused Nan Huairen and his master to be touched. A True Fate oath, to cultivators, was an extremely serious matter. Once the oath was made, one absolutely had to comply with the oath. If violated, they would be subjected to a backlash.

Of course, a True Fate oath had to be willingly taken by both parties.

After making the vow, Li Qiye let Nan Huairen and Protector Mo drag him out of the iron pot.

[1] I think the author made a mistake here, it should be the Eighteen Solutions, not the Twelve. Unless 12-18 were all unknown by their tribe.
