Chapter 209: Tormented Badly, I'm Not Interested in Immortal Herbs (10.2k)_6
A few dozen miles away, King Qi stood on a sand dune, gazing into the distance at the magic plants.
"Finally, a Great Demon has come, the human race is still far too inferior. Devils don't even dare to come here.
Just one Great Demon, and it's already grown eight leaves.
Soon, once one more leaf sprouts, it should be just about ready.
Father, how did you resist the temptation of an immortal herb?
I hope the things you left behind are correct.
Otherwise, I might end up being harmed by you."
King Qi quietly slipped into the sand and disappeared.
Before long, several trails of tunneling light flew in.
The arriving strong figures levitated in the air, looking into the distance at the magic plants, each with a solemn expression.
"The Great Demon is dead, consumed by the Bloodthirsty Devil Flower."
"The entrance is within the Bloodthirsty Devil Flower's territory, what should we do?"
"Let's find King Qi first, he must know where the entrance is."
"More and more people are coming..."
...
Several days later, Yu Ziqing quietly arrived at the Mountain Abyss.
To be honest, he liked stirring things up, but he wasn't particularly concerned about immortal herbs.
He had heard that the Abyss was in chaos.
The entrance to the land of immortal herbs was said to be within the Bloodthirsty Devil Flower's territory. Somehow, this rumor spread, becoming common knowledge.
Now, not only Ninth Tier Strong were heading there, but several others, whose lifespans were nearing their end, had suddenly emerged as well.
A Great Demon had entered the Abyss, but the demon was obviously unfamiliar with the terrain, led by King Qi into the Bloodthirsty Devil Flower's territory, and was immediately shredded and devoured.
King Qi would not do something inexplicable, this likely had something to do with the entrance.
Therefore, Yu Ziqing came to deliver the Jade Tablet to the giant, and to seek some advice.
The Mountain Abyss remained unchanged, as always, showing no signs of any recent activity.
Yu Ziqing arrived at the edge of the tunnel and threw down a large pile of prepared items.
From gourmet food and fine wines to books and the Jade Tablet.
The Jade Tablet had been tested and could receive signals even in the Abyss. It was of the highest configuration, made primarily from the hand bone of the Seven Yin King.
"Brother, I came to bring you some things. This Jade Tablet is something I've newly developed.
Last time, you helped scare away the Devil King. This item was made from his hand bone.
When you have time, you can listen to it for entertainment."
A large number of items fell into the darkness as a pair of eyes lit up from within it.
An invisible force caught all the items, leaving only a delicate Jade Tablet floating before those eyes.
Alongside the Jade Tablet was a Jade Scroll containing detailed instructions for use.
It even listed which frequencies mainly discussed what topics, all clearly arranged.
Worried that the giant might not understand what frequencies meant, he specifically explained it.
In fact, Yu Ziqing overestimated. At the moment the giant saw these words, he understood their meaning.
Activating the Jade Tablet, the storyteller's rhythmic voice immediately emanated from it.
"...Let me tell you, the Tong Family Master is quite a ruthless character. To eradicate the Evil Skill, he even willingly endured inhuman torture..."
The giant looked at the Jade Tablet with great interest.
Could the bones of the Seven Yin King really create such a marvelous thing?
Alright, if there's ever an opportunity, somehow, the Seven Yin King must be killed.
That scoundrel, without other abilities, possessed top-notch skills in escaping and hiding.
Without him exposing himself, it's genuinely difficult to find him.
Yu Ziqing waited above for a while, sensing that the giant should have started using it, likely in a good mood.
Yu Ziqing continued speaking.
"Brother, I have something else I want to ask you.
Lately, there's been a matter concerning an immortal herb. There's an explanation in the Jade Scroll beside the Jade Tablet.
Please take a look, mainly because now, someone has provoked that Bloodthirsty Devil Flower, and I'm afraid someone might lead those magic plants out.
I have no interest in immortal herbs, nor do I care how many devils die.
I'm only worried someone might lead the Bloodthirsty Devil Flower into the Abyssal Rift.
That's guarded by millions of hungry ghosts, and they recently had a skirmish with the devils.
I'm worried those devils might seize the opportunity to break through, causing an unmanageable situation.
So, I ask for your guidance."
The giant, listening to the Jade Tablet, even learned to change channels, and happened upon the recent affair concerning immortal herbs.
In this world, the words immortal herbs naturally brought the highest attention, even Tenth Tier Strong had to step back.
Those who rented frequencies, whether individuals or factions, couldn't miss riding this wave of excitement.
Daqian and Dali's trends were risky to follow carelessly, but with immortal herbs, it was an instant opportunity.
The giant didn't immediately respond to Yu Ziqing, listening to the Jade Tablet for two days, coupled with the contents from the Jade Scroll Yu Ziqing provided.
Mutually complementing each other, he roughly understood the situation.
So, a Jade Scroll left by Yu Ziqing for contact shattered.
Information directly appeared in Yu Ziqing's mind.
"Undying Mandala, don't think about it, that immortal herb is likely still immature, and even if mature, capturing it would bring retribution.
Yes, retribution, I must say, this word is indeed well used.
If you're after immortal herbs, there's another one, but whether you find it depends on your fate.
Go and find that Bloodthirsty Devil Flower."
Yu Ziqing scratched his head, well, it seemed the giant indeed knew about the Undying Mandala.
He ignored Yu Ziqing's chatter and directly provided a clue for an immortal herb.
If he had fate on his side, he could obtain an immortal herb.
The issue was, he truly wasn't that interested in immortal herbs.
He just wanted to ask, what pitfalls might lie within.
This matter needed a clear explanation.
"Brother, I'm genuinely not very interested in immortal herbs, I just want to know what possible traps are involved.
Brother, you've misunderstood me, I'm not that kind of person."
The giant ignored him, leaving Yu Ziqing to sigh helplessly, climbing down along the stone wall.
He entered the Void of An History Book. The book hadn't seen Yu Ziqing for long, and its pages rustled.
"Stop flipping the book, I don't believe you can't sense Dadui's massive change."
An History Book immediately closed of its own accord, streams of light flowing from it, adopting an obedient and gentle demeanor.
"Stop pretending, I came here specifically to take you away from here.
It's time to take you out.
You should also know, the sealing inside has weakened to its extreme without a trace."
Yu Ziqing raised his hand, and An History Book flew to him, landing in his grasp.
Better to bring it back first and slowly unravel the catastrophes within when there's time.
Climbing back up the stone wall, Yu Ziqing looked at the tunnel. He wanted to explain further but held back.
There was no way to explain, no one, absolutely no one, when given the chance, wouldn't want immortal herbs, he was no exception.
He truly wasn't interested in the Undying Mandala because it was certainly a huge pitfall.
But the giant believed he desired immortal herbs, offering another clue.
Yu Ziqing dared not say he wasn't interested.
Okay, then, he would go back and try his luck, see what fate would have in store.
