Rise of Qinglian

"Colorful Soul-Eating Spider?"

Wang Changsheng frowned. The Colorful Soul-Eating Spider ranked ninety-fifth on the list of ten thousand insects. It mastered spiritual attacks and was extremely poisonous.

As far as he knew, this poisonous insect was only found on Wandu Island.

"That's right, the Colorful Soul-Eating Spider is on Ten Thousand Poison Islands. If you want to reach the Seven-Colored Soul-Eating Spider's nest, you have to pass through the lair of a sixth-level blood-eyed poisonous ape. The blood-eyed poisonous ape has a trace of the blood of the mountain giant ape and is very powerful. It’s infinite, we can’t do anything about it, and we’d like to ask fellow Daoist Wang for help.”

Huang Tianxing explained.

"Since you are asking for our help, can you honestly say, is it interesting to hide in the dark and observe?"

Wang Changsheng looked at a certain lotus.

"Sure enough, I saw the right person. Fellow Daoist Wang's consciousness has almost caught up with the fusion monks, and those guys didn't notice my existence."

A somewhat hoarse male voice came from underwater.

A blue light flew out from the bottom of the water and landed on the green platform, revealing an old man with a slight hunchback.

The old man has a ruddy complexion, is wearing a blue python robe, his eyes are piercing, his aura is a bit stronger than Wang Changsheng, and he has the cultivation level of Great Perfection.

"Meet Uncle Xiao!"

Huang Tianxing and Zhang Yaoyao bowed and saluted with respectful expressions.

"Uncle Xiao Master!"

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan looked wary.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, Mrs. Wang, don't be nervous. I'm Xiao Nianzhi. Speaking of which, Master Xuanyin is my ancestor. We want to join forces with Daoist Wang to hunt for treasures."

The old man in blue robe said with a smile.

"Joining forces to hunt for treasure? Fellow Daoist Xiao must value my physical strength! I think the restriction is more difficult and requires huge strength to break."

Wang Changsheng said meaningfully.

Xiao Nianzhi's expression was as usual, but Huang Tianxing's eyes showed a bit of surprise.

"It's a pleasure to talk to smart people. To show my sincerity, I'll offer you the inner elixirs of these two sixth-level ethereal beasts first. I'll give you a big thank you after the deed is done."

Xiao Nianzhi took out a cyan jade box and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng's face showed a look of contemplation. The three inner elixirs of the sixth-level Void Spirit Beast, and the cracking sky beast had refined the demonic power in them, and there was a high chance of advancing to the sixth level.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, since we are cooperating, you should make it clear to us whether it is an ancient monk's cave or the entrance to a secret realm! You cannot let us go hunting for treasures with you in confusion."

Wang Ruyan's face was solemn, and he showed courtesy for nothing. He was either a traitor or a thief. He took out three inner elixirs of the sixth-level ethereal beast at once, which showed that the restriction was not simple.

"That is my master's sitting cave. My master is a disciple of Master Xuanyin. He has the cultivation level of the Integration Stage. My master left ten pieces of music. My master received five pieces and only taught me three. Mrs. Wang is also a music cultivator. After the work is completed, I can make a copy for you, and other treasures will be counted separately."

Xiao Nianzhi's tone was sincere, and he changed his tone and continued: "The reason why I invite you is, firstly, you are not from a big force in the Qingli Sea Region. After the matter is accomplished, the road will reach the sky, and we will each go half way; secondly, Fellow Daoist Wang’s physical strength is even stronger than Fellow Daoist Lin, so you can join forces with my spirit beast to break the restriction, how about that?”

"Where did Yin Xiu sit in the Hua Cave during the integration period?"

Wang Changsheng was dubious. If it was true, this matter would be of great benefit to Wang Ruyan's future cultivation.

"Men, we can join forces with them. With our strength, we are not afraid of them."

Wang Ruyan transmitted a message to Wang Changsheng, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't want the inheritance of the combined sound cultivator.

With their strength, plus Wang Xiao, Lin Gui, and Wood Demon, even if they fight, they will not be afraid of Xiao Nian and the other three.

"We can join forces with you, but I want to know how fellow Daoist Xiao knows that my consciousness is directly following the fusion cultivator."

Wang Changsheng wondered, the strength of a cultivator's spiritual consciousness usually depends on the number of treasures he controls, but he has never controlled multiple treasures in front of Zhang Yaoyao.

Xiao Nianzhi flicked his wrist, and a ray of white light flew out from the spirit beast bracelet. It was a huge dragonfly with thin golden wings. Its body was snow white and its eyes were snow blue.

"The sixth-order golden-winged snowfly is actually such a strange insect."

Wang Changsheng suddenly realized that the golden-winged snowfly ranked 251st on the list of ten thousand insects. It was an ice-type spiritual insect that was not only very sensitive to the power of divine consciousness, but also flew extremely fast.

"When to set off!"

Wang Changsheng asked.

"Of course, the sooner the better, how about tomorrow? But let me remind you, if I find that you have called someone else, don't blame us for being rude."

When Xiao Nianzhi finished speaking, his face was full of murderous intent.

"To each other, if we find out that you called someone else, we won't be polite to you."

Wang Changsheng sneered.

"Okay, let's go back and get ready. We'll meet you here tomorrow morning."

After Wang Changsheng said this, he left with Wang Ruyan.

"Uncle Xiao, they can't be spies sent by Uncle Lin! We were almost fooled last time, but fortunately, Uncle Xiao found out the clues."

Zhang Yaoyao asked nervously.

"Probably not. I spent a lot of effort to cultivate the golden-winged snowfly to prevent this. Senior Brother Lin has mastered a spiritual consciousness technique. His spiritual consciousness is relatively powerful, but these two people have more spiritual consciousness than Senior Brother Lin at the same time. It’s powerful, I estimate that Wang Daoyou’s consciousness is not much worse than in the early stage of integration.”

When Xiao Nianzhi finished speaking, his face was full of disbelief.

"Not much worse than the monks in the early stage of integration? No way!"

Zhang Yaoyao said in surprise.

"Humph, what's weird about this? Some heavenly materials and earthly treasures can also increase spiritual consciousness. They collect the spirits of monsters and the Yin beads left by high-level ghosts. They should have raised soul-eating golden cicadas on them, or practiced Bijiu. The Forging God Technique is a more powerful divine consciousness technique, but don’t take their notice, it will cause unintended consequences. After getting the inheritance left by the master, let’s leave here and wait until I advance to the combined stage to seek revenge from Senior Brother Lin.”

When Xiao Nianzhi said the last word, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Yaoyao and Huang Tianxing agreed and looked respectful.

······

In a secluded courtyard, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were sitting in a stone pavilion, talking about something.

"According to the information we have, the disciples and disciples of Master Xuanyin have established multiple sects, each of which is in charge of its own affairs. Currently, the only known combined music cultivator is Master Tianyin. The other combined music cultivators have not shown up for tens of thousands of years. I don't know who Daoyou Xiao is. Who is the master?"

Wang Ruyan said softly, with a solemn expression.

"It doesn't matter who the master is, just open the restriction and you will know, Ten Thousand Poison Islands! Hmph, the wood demon comes in handy. If they dare to play tricks, then don't blame us for being rude."

Wang Changsheng said disapprovingly, Ten Thousand Poison Island is full of poisonous insects and perennial miasma. The wood demon has always liked this kind of place, and maybe it can find something useful for its advancement.

"That's right. When this matter is settled, we will go to the Demon Cave again, hoping to find the water of the Styx. Alas, I don't know what happened to Haitang."

Wang Ruyan sighed and said that Ye Haitang's natal soul lamp has not been extinguished, which means that she is still alive. He doesn't know whether she is in Xuanyang Realm or another interface.

"If we have the chance, I will definitely see her again. I hope she is safe and well."

Wang Changsheng looked reminiscing. Ye Haitang was Wang Changyue's surviving daughter. He hoped that Ye Haitang was safe and sound. (To be continued.)
