Chapter 185: Rescue Again
After subduing the crocodile, the expedition team basically used up all the equipment they had brought. Fortunately, they had gained a lot. He had already planned to return to the city. He did not think about anything else because he no longer had any other targets and had used up all his things this time.
“Young Master, no matter what, you have to tell me your address this time. I, Wang Tianshui, will definitely visit you personally after I return and make arrangements!”
This time, Wang Tianshui refused to let Li Yuanqing leave just like that. Li Yuanqing had no choice but to tell Wang Tianshui the address of his small shop. It was very easy to find it beside the Treasure Pavilion.
Wang Tianshui was very touched and promised to be Li Yuanqing’s slave. Li Yuanqing did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The members of the expedition team reluctantly bade farewell to Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing set off alone.
After the expedition team returned to Rong City, they brought back everything they had seen in the wilderness. They were even more generous with their praises about the legendary figure, who was from Ping City, they met and described it wantonly.
They simply made Li Yuanqing sound like a living Buddha. They said that he could descend from the sky and save them every time they were in danger.
Such wild publicity caused a frenzy in Rong City. They had only heard of Ping City in the past and knew that Ping City was the first city to be occupied by humans. However, not many people had really seen Ping City.
It was really tempting for them since they heard that anyone from their Ping City had such powerful strength. Many people secretly swore that they would go to Ping City to pay their respects to the legendary Sword Immortal.
These expedition team members who had survived the disaster began to arrange their schedules, planning to go to Ping City to pay their respects to the Sword Immortal’s ruins.
…
Perhaps they could also sense the Sword Immortal’s ruins and seek a breakthrough, obtaining unparalleled power.
In an instant, the name of Ping City spread throughout Rong City. All the human cultivators in Rong City were filled with yearning for Ping City. They simply treated Ping City as the holy land of the human race.
After Ye Qiluo controlled Rong City, she established a new order. The demons were only worthy of living in the outer city after they completely fell. The humans had divided the inner city into many markets.
Moreover, with the humans attracted from the wilderness, the entire Rong City was becoming more and more prosperous. Its growth was even comparable to Ping City back then.
The main reason was that ever since Ping City accommodated human cultivators, all the humans in the wilderness had become active. Now that they heard this news, many people rushed in.
As the Holy Maiden of the human race, she was supported by everyone.
The news brought back by these expeditions naturally reached her ears.
“Miss, what do you think of this matter?”
Ye Qiluo leaned against the luxurious recliner and pondered silently. She was different from the others in Rong City. She came from Ping City and knew very well how strong Ping City was.
It was not as ridiculous as they said, where a single sword strike was enough to split apart two powerful tiger-headed sharks. Unless that person attacked, they would definitely not be able to achieve such power.
In Ping City, not anyone could have the strength of a Sword Immortal.
“Does that mean it’s that person?”
“According to their description, this person is very young and has good strength. I think he looks a little similar to Li Yuanqing, who often comes to exchange treasures.”
Ye Qiluo nodded slightly. In the entire Ping City, the only person she could think of was Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing’s strength was unfathomable.
Although Ye Qiluo had never seen the Sword Immortal with her own eyes, she did not doubt that Li Yuanqing’s strength could achieve the effect of a Sword Immortal. It was not surprising that Li Yuanqing could even control a person like Hu Jiujiu. However, why did Li Yuanqing run there alone? Could it be because of those treasures?
Ye Qiluo could not figure it out. There were indeed many good things hidden in the river in the wilderness, but it was also abnormally dangerous. No matter how strong a person was, there was a risk of failure if they went alone.
“Miss, I think that the brothers below are all looking forward to Ping City now. It’s a good opportunity for us. Why don’t we take this opportunity to hold a social gathering and establish a communication channel between our two cities? It’ll also be convenient for us to communicate more actively in the future.”
Ye Qiluo was very satisfied with this opinion. “City Lord Hu Jiujiu and I are old acquaintances. Now that Rong City is stable, we indeed need a stable partner like Ping City. This is indeed a very good opportunity. I’ll write a letter to City Lord Hu Jiujiu. Send someone to deliver it.”
“This is really worth celebrating. Miss, you’re still worried that the demons in the wilderness will counterattack. If our two cities establish a stronger relationship, I don’t think we need to worry about this anymore.”
“That’s true. You can leave. Let some news out and see how everyone reacts.”
“Yes, Miss.”
The old man slowly retreated. Although Rong City looked very stable now, the demons who had escaped back then would definitely not let go of the management rights of Rong City just like that. They were also waiting for an opportunity.
Ye Qiluo had many experts under her, but it was inevitable that those demons would come up with some ideas after a long time. At that time, someone would take advantage of them.
Moreover, there was a person like Li Yuanqing in Ping City. If the legendary Sword Immortal really existed, it means that there would be an extremely powerful expert. If they could join forces, it would naturally be beneficial to Rong City.
Li Yuanqing was naturally unaware of everything that had happened in Rong City. He was busy finding his goal.
The demons in the river were all very impulsive. They were born with such recklessness.
They sensed Li Yuanqing’s aura and came up to cause trouble without any hesitation. Although Li Yuanqing did not deliberately search for it, he had gathered a lot of demon beast materials in the past few days.
What troubled Li Yuanqing was that the waters of the river were so huge. It was really not easy to find traces of those grass carp here.
Fortunately, the expedition team had left some methods for him to identify the traces of grass carp activity when they left. At least he had found some traces now.
“Master, are those grass carp you’re looking for?”
During the time he was with the expedition team, Li Yuanqing did not release the Man-eating Vine. However, the Man-eating Vine had been playing happily these few days. She followed Li Yuanqing and kept stirring in the river, devouring many demon beasts.
The Man-eating Vine’s stomach had been round for the past two days, and the energy on her body was fluctuating, as if she was about to break through again.
The Man-eating Vine already had the strength of a peak fifth-grade Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator. If it took another step forward, her strength would rise to a new level.
As the man-eating vine spoke, a vine suddenly retracted from under her feet. There was a twisting fish tied to the vine.
This fish’s waist was very tough. Even though it was tied up tightly, it was still swaying around. It looked really tough.
Li Yuanqing happily took the grass carp. After searching for so many days, he had finally found them.
“That’s right. After we capture them, I’ll bring them all into the domain. Capture as many as you can.”
“Alright, I’ll go now!”
As the Man-eating Vine spoke, she plunged into the river excitedly. She was not afraid at all. She had had her fill of the demon beasts hiding in the river for the past two days.
Not far below, a school of grass carp had gathered and were swimming downstream. However, at this moment, countless vines suddenly appeared in their school.
The vines kept twisting and stirring.
They did not do it at once. They would stir up a lot of grass carp in the school of grass carp and stuff them into Li Yuanqing’s domain.
The huge lake that connected to the center of the domain could not be seen. Tens of thousands of grass carp were placed in the lake, but they only rejoiced for a while and did not cause much waves.
Li Yuanqing drew a boundary for them. In order to prevent these big demon beasts from eating the little fellows miserably, he divided them into districts. In the middle, he used special materials to isolate them so that they could reproduce and live here.
Although he had been busy here for a while, he had gained a lot. Not only did he obtain the fresh and delicious carp, but he also obtained the familiar grass carp.
In the future, when he had nothing to do, he would always be able to set up a grill by the lake and roast two fish to eat, enjoying the delicacies that only existed in the previous world.
Moreover, Li Yuanqing had also found many spice seeds from the merchants in Sea City and planted them at the side. These spices were still young seedlings.
When they grew up, they would spread new seeds. At that time, they would grow into an endless number of seeds. He carefully nourished them with nutrient fluids every day. Although these things could not absorb spiritual energy, they grew much more fiercely on the spirit vein.
Now, Li Yuanqing’s domain had a snow mountain that stood tall. Under the sunlight, it emitted a crystalline light, like a lighthouse in the world of the Spirit Domain.
At the foot of the snow mountain was a vast forest. Countless demon beasts were galloping in the forest. These demon beasts lived happily.
Past the forest, there was a vast lake. Occasionally, there were some animals drinking water with their heads lowered. The flesh of these animals was very firm and agile.
Across the vast lake was another forest and a very vast grassland that covered the large land. This wide domain brought Li Yuanqing a lot of joy.
When Li Yuanqing had nothing to do, he liked to ride his horse in his domain. This fresh energy made him glow.
Every time this happened, the Man-eating Vine would transform into its true form and spread out in the soil, following Li Yuanqing’s footsteps. One of them was on the ground while the other was under the ground, vaguely competing.
“Young Master, I’m going to surpass you.”
The Man-eating Vine exerted all her strength and rushed in front of Li Yuanqing proudly. However, just as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her body become light. Li Yuanqing had pulled her huge body out of the ground. Her huge vines were hanging in the sky, but it did not slow her down at all.
“Young Master, you’re becoming more and more proficient in the traction technique.”
The Man-eating Vine floated in midair. She had not felt anything just now. After Li Yuanqing’s traction technique became more and more proficient, the power he controlled had become even gentler. He could often control people silently.
This kind of silent control method was even more impossible to guard against. This was the power of the traction technique.
In the past, when he had just mastered it, the power of control was too domineering. It was easy for her to break free before the entire power network was formed.
Therefore, he could only use it on targets who had much lower strengths. However, when he reached a very deep level, the scope of the traction technique would increase greatly. Not only could he temporarily control the other party’s whereabouts in a battle, but he could also cause a lot of trouble for the other party. He even controlled the other party’s actions silently.
According to Li Yuanqing’s own estimation, if this traction technique was successfully refined, it could even be used on people stronger than him. At that time, it would be a very powerful spell. He did not expect to obtain such a powerful spell by chance.
Li Yuanqing rode the horse to the lake and let the horse drink water and eat grass. He brought the man-eating vine and casually caught two grass carp and the very fertile yellow-skinned carp from the lake.
The man-eating vine skillfully set up a small barbecue stall and started a fire below. She cleaned up the internal organs and impurities inside and weaved a grilling rack with branches in midair. Soon, the few fish were cleaned.
Under the roasting of the small fire, the fish emitted a fragrance. The Man-eating Vine had finally mastered the essence of the grilled fish and was proficient in using spices.
The vine spread out from the ground and came to the empty space on the other side. It picked some of the very lush spices and soon appeared in the hands of the Man-eating Vine.
The spices were mixed with the fat that overflowed from the fish. Under the heat of the small fire, they emitted an alluring fragrance. The thick fragrance of oil spread out, making one drool.
“Little Man, you’re becoming more and more skilled at grilling fish.”
“It’s all because Young Master taught me well. I can only say that Young Master did a good job as a master.”
“How did you learn to speak like Little Jiu?”
“Young Master, if you say bad things about her behind her back, she won’t be happy.”
