”Xing An?” Qin Mu looked at the youth with a blank look, thinking carefully. He then asked Ling Yuxiu and the rest, ”Have you heard of the name Xing An?”
The girls shook their heads and replied, ”We have not heard of this name. However, the surname Xing is quite rare.”
”Cowherd, ask which Divine Physician Qin is he looking for? We might know who he is,” Si Yunxiang said.
Qin Mu agreed and said to Xing An, ”My junior sister wants me to ask which Divine Physician Qin are you looking for.”
Xing An smiled and said, ”This person is famous. He's the most renowned young physician in the capital, and his name is Qin Mu. He's the Heavenly Devil Cult Master, but he also has a reputation as a divine physician.
”My medicinal expertise isn't ordinary as well, but after treating myself for years, I keep feeling like there is something wrong. The more I treat myself, the more I feel that something is wrong. The body parts have started to reject one another, making it difficult to house them together. Not long ago, I met the grandmaster of Rolan's Golden Palace who's an old friend of mine, and he recommended a person. He said that Divine Physician Qin has remarkable abilities in the art of healing, so I should go find him.”
Qin Mu was furious. 'It's Pangong Tso, that wretch again! He keeps giving me problems! Why didn't Imperial Preceptor kill him when he took down Rolan's Golden Palace and let him escape in advance instead?”
”So it's Heavenly Devil Cult Master,” Qin Mu said with realization in his voice. ”I've heard of his name; he's pretty extraordinary.”
Xing An was smiling. ”I've heard Heavenly Devil Cult Master had the means to help Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor to rebuild flying ships and warships, so he could wipe out the prairie in one go, subduing all the Khans and razing Rolan's Golden Palace. He even helped Emperor Yanfeng forge a divine cannon that shot down the god of High Heavens which is truly remarkable. Such a dangerous person, yet I have no choice but to find him, because Jade Face Poison King is even more dangerous than him.”
He then added after a moment, ”The cultivation of this Heavenly Devil Cult Master is only of Six Directions Realm, after all, so is easy to control. Jade Face Poison King, however, is ruthless and would be much harder to control. That's right, they called you cowherd, is that your name?”
Qin Mu immediately smiled and said, ”Nope. I'm a person who herded cows, so my senior and junior sisters call me cowherd boy.”
”So I see.” Xing An looked around and said, ”In the battle when the god was slain here, I've heard that Heavenly Devil Cult Master had made an appearance, so I came here to look for him. I've eaten your fruits, so I can't leave without giving anything in return. Rise!”
He stretched out a finger, and the core of the fruit which he had buried in the earth earlier grew rapidly, transforming into a huge tree which bore fruit after a moment. The tree was filled with them.
”Creation technique!” Si Yunxiang hissed under her breath.
Xing An took a look at her and waved his hands. The fruits all dropped on the ground and rolled everywhere. They landed on the ground and grew roots. After a moment, the whole mountain was covered in fruit trees. Flowers bloomed and withered, green fruits grew quickly and soon ripened on the branches.
”Try it, see if the taste is similar?” Xing An smiled.
Yan Jingjing was about to pluck one fruit to taste it when Qin Mu shook his head. ”Sister Jing, don't pluck it. It won't be good to eat.”
Yan Jingjing let go of the fruit and looked at it. She examined it carefully, but saw only that the fruit was bright red, similar to the ones they had plucked. There was nothing special about it.
”Cowherd is extraordinary, you have seen through it.” Xing An smiled and said, ”Creation technique can change the process of the plant's growth and also change the taste of the plant. It can even make the plant poisonous and change its structure, changing the species of the plant. You can even make the plant able to control the actions of others.”
He raised his hand to pluck a bright red fruit, and it stretched its body to become a little red snake that went to coil around his wrist. The flat head of the snake was raised over his palm, while the forked was outstretched as the snake hissed at the group.
Everyone jumped in shock, and a hissing came from all directions. Tens of thousands of fruits hung on the fruit trees that were all around the mountain. At that moment, all of them stretched and turned into small red snakes that were dangling from the trees and staring at them!
”The creation technique of Heavenly Devil Cult isn't bad, right?” Xing An smiled and said, ”I learned it from Rolan's Golden Palace's grandmaster. It's a pity that even Grandmaster himself didn't manage to comprehend the essence of it, disappointing me. Heavenly Devil Cult, however, is an even bigger disappointment, since no one there could actually comprehend the marvel of this technique. However, little girl is not bad, you recognized the technique, and Cult Master Qin is extraordinary as well, able to see how I used it to change the form of the object.”
”You recognized us?” Si Yunxiang cried out.
Xing An smiled and said, ”I didn't recognize you girls. However, Grandmaster had drawn me a portrait of Cult Master Qin, as though he was scared I would be mistaken.”
Qin Mu looked at the mountain filled with red snakes and his expression changed slightly. He knew the creation techniques in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures were extraordinary, and he had used Earth Aeon Technique to mature a tree and grow yellow pears. However, the extent to which Xing An had cultivated the creation techniques made them have no hope of catching up!”
'What the young patriarch cultivates is the creation techniques. I wonder if he can achieve such a feat.”
The corner of Qin Mu's eyes twitched. Even though the young patriarch was very strong, he might not have this kind of ability. Xing An was simply like a god who could do everything!
Planting a tree, making the tree bear fruit, then turning it into venomous snakes was the actions of a god!
The red snakes swayed their flat triangle heads on top of the trees as though they were dancing to the music. Yet how could all of them move in unison?
