Ch 131: System Bro’s Gone Crazy?!
In the live stream room, the audience also felt very surprised:
“Zhao Yuehong?”
“He is Zhao Yuehong?”
“No way? How is this so coincidental?”
“It can’t be considered a coincidence. We knew before that the Zhao Family was weaker than the Nangong Family. Based on numbers, there might only be six or seven Land Immortals, or even fewer.
Besides those guarding the family and resource lands, there were at most two or three who went out to fight. We know that Zhao Yuehong went to support the Nangong Family before, so he should be outside.
Then, as long as the battle site wasn’t too far from him, he would definitely rush over. It’s only natural that he appeared here.”
“Judging from the actual situation, although Zhao Yuehong died, the Zhao Family should have won the battle at the scene. After all, a Land Immortal had already died on the spot, and it was likely that Zhao Yuehong killed them.”
“In this way, we can probably reconstruct the situation at that time—the Zhao Family fought another family, and the Zhao Family barely won. Zhao Yuehong took out the other party’s Land Immortal, but he couldn’t suppress his illness and began to transform, eventually becoming a monster wandering nearby.”
“That’s right, that’s probably it. I don’t know if Zhao Lingyun participated in this battle.”
“Yeah, if we could find Zhao Lingyun, the Jade Box could be opened in advance, and we could also see what the Clarity Spirit Jade Dew looks like. Maybe we could find similar products on the island.”
“Qi God, take action! Hurry up and find Zhao Lingyun!!”
……
Don’t urge, don’t urge.
I’m already looking.
If Qi Xuan could see the barrage, he would probably reply like this.
After discovering Zhao Yuehong’s identity through the relics, just as many netizens thought, he also immediately thought of Zhao Lingyun.
Now there is mainly one question:
Did Zhao Lingyun participate in this battle?
If she didn’t participate, then there’s nothing to say. Continue searching nearby. If you can’t find her, you can only go to the Zhao Family.
If she participated, there are only two possible outcomes: either she died in battle, or she left.
Based on the excavation of the scene, no skeletons of Zhao Lingyun were found, nor were any skeletons of female cultivators found, but a piece of light pink lady’s sleeve was found.
Moreover, Zhao Yuehong had almost no equipment on him. It can be imagined that before he transformed, he must have given all the valuable things on him to someone he trusted, letting him/her take them away.
Therefore, Qi Xuan was more inclined to believe that Zhao Lingyun had participated in this battle.
It’s just that the Jade Box didn’t react to that sleeve.
For the time being, he couldn’t use the Tracking Talisman on the sleeve.
Because it was impossible to determine if the original owner of the sleeve was Zhao Lingyun.
Maybe it was a male cultivator who liked to dress up as a woman, which was also possible.
But if he really couldn’t find Zhao Lingyun, he would finally try to use the Tracking Talisman on this sleeve and try his luck.
After all, no matter what, two Clarity Spirit Jade Dews, plus an offensive treasure, were worth him taking such a gamble.
Qi Xuan put away the sleeve, and in response to the battle scene, he continued to expand the search area, leading Sunday to constantly search around, looking for any possible clues.
The morning live stream ended in a busy search.
When the afternoon live stream started, Qi Xuan was still searching.
Different from the morning, during this period, he really found a little clue, roughly locking down the direction of departure for several members of the Zhao Family.
He continued to search forward, constantly expanding the range.
Finally, he found another relatively complete skeleton.
This discovery not only made him feel very happy, but also invigorated the audience in the live stream room.
Through the examination of the skeleton, Qi Xuan found that this was a member of the Zhao Family, and he died after the battle.
It was highly likely that he was already seriously injured before leaving the battlefield, and he didn’t go far before he couldn’t hold on any longer.
Then the question is, why didn’t the remaining members of the Zhao Family take his corpse away?
It’s understandable that they didn’t have time to collect the corpses of other clansmen on the battlefield because Zhao Yuehong was about to transform.
But this is already several kilometers away from the battlefield. Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t they bring the dead clansmen back to the family for burial?
Why was it abandoned in the wilderness?
They didn’t even dig a burial pit for him?
Did he make some big mistake in the battle before, which was then resisted by the rest of the Zhao Family?
But soon Qi Xuan knew the result.
He walked a short distance further and successively found three skeletons less than a hundred meters apart.
Referring to the impact of the Sun Collapse on the terrain, these three should have died together.
Under normal circumstances, even if they were seriously injured, the time of death wouldn’t be so coincidental; there would definitely be a sequence.
The only answer is that they chose to give up, or they no longer had the ability to continue acting.
This is the result the skeleton told him.
Yes, they were all poisoned, and the cause of death was also the explosion of toxins.
No wonder they didn’t bury the dead clansmen properly, because they themselves were also about to die.
Looking at the blackened skeleton, Qi Xuan vaguely had a certain premonition.
He walked a short distance further and saw a blackened skeleton again.
Her skeleton was very petite, with a faint blackness on the surface, and some tattered clothes were scattered around, including that light pink long dress.
And after seeing her, the Jade Box immediately emitted a faint warmth, and the spirit seals on the surface dissipated without wind.
This phenomenon immediately confirmed the identity of the other party—
Zhao Lingyun.
The daughter of the Zhao Family Patriarch.
Nangong Yaohua’s fiancée.
Qi Xuan walked forward in silence.
He found that Zhao Lingyun’s posture before her death was a bit strange, her whole body was curled up, like a mother protecting her child.
He carefully turned over Zhao Lingyun’s skeleton and saw that her hands were clasped on her abdomen, holding a Jade Slip inside.
He finally pulled out the Jade Slip and input Spiritual Energy to activate it.
He immediately saw a last will and testament before her death:
“I am Zhao Lingyun, the daughter of Zhao Tianchang, the Zhao Family Patriarch, and the fiancée of Nangong Yaohua, the genius of the Nangong Family.”
“Passers-by, you can take all the relics on me, only asking you to bring the Jade Token to my fiancé.”
The Jade Token recorded some words she wanted to tell Nangong Yaohua—
“I and my second uncle led the team to meet you, but unexpectedly, we ran into the Han Family team on the way. The two families had a long-standing feud, so we fought with them.”
“During the battle, we suddenly received a family alert, and then we learned that the Han Family had already joined forces with the Zhang Family and some insiders to break through the protective family array and attack the inside.”
“The ancestral land couldn’t be defended. My father sent away the family members and ordered us not to return, deciding to destroy the Ghost Cicada Breeding Zone and perish with the enemy.”
“In his anxiety, my second uncle forcibly used a secret technique to kill two Foundation Stage members of the Han Family, but unexpectedly, he triggered the illness in advance and ordered us to leave before transforming.”
“We couldn’t return on the way, so we went to your location, intending to meet you. Who would have thought that we only found out halfway that the Han Family’s weapons were all coated with Black Bone Powder.”
“The clansmen died one after another from the poison, and I couldn’t hold on for long either. The only pity is that I couldn’t meet you in the end, making you wait in vain. I hope you won’t blame me.”
“I also hope that you won’t avenge me after seeing this will.”
“The Han Family and the Zhang Family are too powerful together. Even if the Nangong Family is at its peak, it’s hard to suppress them, let alone you, a Qi Condensation, let alone you haven’t become a Foundation Stage yet.”
“Live well. My father, second uncle, and clansmen are waiting for me in the underworld. If we are destined, we will continue our relationship in the next life.”
After reading Zhao Lingyun’s last words, and thinking about the last words Nangong Yaohua had prepared in advance, Qi Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.
Zhao Lingyun didn’t fail him, nor did she betray him.
It was simply because they encountered a battle on the way.
It was simply because she was about to die.
So… she couldn’t meet up.
In terms of their encounters, this couple could also be considered star-crossed lovers.
But their identities were already quite extraordinary.
One was the family’s genius, a sure-fire Foundation Stage seed.
The other was the daughter of the Patriarch, with several Foundation Stage elders.
With their status, they still ended up like this.
Other ordinary cultivators, I’m afraid, died without a sound.
Under the impact of the times, no one can be alone.
The blood battles between families, in the final analysis, are all for the sake of competing for life-saving resources.
If the Zhao Family hadn’t raised Ghost Cicadas, the Han Family and the Zhang Family wouldn’t have taken the huge risk of attacking them.
But if the Zhao Family really hadn’t raised Ghost Cicadas, then it should have been the Zhao Family that attacked other families.
【Bone-Spur Disease】 is the culprit of all the bloody killings.
And now, he also has a temporary solution.
Qi Xuan took out the Jade Box and opened this gift that he didn’t have time to give away.
Inside were two crystal-clear, dewdrop-sized gelatinous substances, like jelly, soft and elastic.
“This is Clarity Spirit Jade Dew.”
In front of the camera, he showed the Clarity Spirit Jade Dew in all directions without dead ends, explaining the various characteristics he observed.
For a time, countless netizens on Blue Star were all excited to the extreme:
“Clarity Spirit Jade Dew! Clarity Spirit Jade Dew! Finally saw its true face!!”
“How many people died because of it! How many people have been seeking it! Even Land Immortals can’t ignore this kind of Precious Medicine!”
“I want to engrave it in my mind! I want to remember every piece of information related to it!!”
“What about the United Nations? Hurry up and send UAVs to scan the entire island to see if there are similar things?!”
“We’re checking, we’re checking, but I’m afraid it won’t necessarily be found. This thing, before it’s picked, may not exist in this form.”
“I’d say, basically don’t expect to find Clarity Spirit Jade Dew on the island. After all, the island is really too small. After so many years, even if there is a Clarity Spirit Tree, it’s probably withered. Not to mention Clarity Spirit Jade Dew, everything actually still depends on the Mother Tree Seed in Qi God’s hands.
If the Mother Tree Seed can be brought to life, then we will have a Mother Tree that can continuously produce Clarity Spirit Jade Dew. When we can enter the Floating Continent in the future, let all the pharmaceutical companies in the world concentrate all their efforts on research, perhaps we can truly develop a drug for 【Bone-Spur Disease】.”
“Indeed, two Clarity Spirit Jade Dews are still too few. If Qi God really contracts 【Bone-Spur Disease】, that’s definitely not enough. We still have to find a way to grow the Mother Tree.”
“But how can the Mother Tree be grown so easily? Even the Tree Seed hasn’t been fully brought to life yet.”
“Qi God, work hard! I’ll pass my primordial power to you now!!”
……
Qi Xuan was indeed also thinking about things related to the Mother Tree.
For the time being, before becoming a Foundation Stage, it’s basically impossible to plant trees.
But in advance, he can prepare everything for planting trees. It’s impossible to wait until he reaches the Foundation Stage before gathering all kinds of tree-planting conditions.
Spiritual Liquid is relatively easy to get, but the Cultivation treasure is a little troublesome.
Now it seems that it’s uncertain whether the Zhao Family has a Cultivation treasure. After all, they have Ghost Cicada breeding, and it’s highly likely that they collect Ghost Cicada Spirit Liquid to deal with 【Bone-Spur Disease】.
Can the Cultivation treasure be used to cultivate Ghost Cicadas?
Qi Xuan really doesn’t know this.
But at the moment, he only has the map to the Zhao Family.
For the Zhang Family and the Han Family, he doesn’t even know where they are.
And that Han Family probably doesn’t have a Cultivation treasure, or the Cultivation treasure is broken, otherwise they wouldn’t have joined forces with the Zhang Family to rob the Zhao Family.
To break into the other party’s ancestral land, even if there are other helpers and insiders to respond, it’s still not an easy task.
It might just be a waste of effort.
According to Zhao Tianchang’s message to destroy the breeding zone, this is very likely to happen.
“What should I do next?”
“Besides continuing to go to the Zhao Family, it seems there’s no other way for the time being.”
“And if the Ghost Cicada Breeding Zone isn’t successfully destroyed by Zhao Tianchang, or if there’s some hidden Ghost Cicada Spirit Liquid, maybe we can get a few more backup plans to deal with 【Bone-Spur Disease】.”
“At the very least, we can also investigate information related to the Han Family and the Zhang Family through the extermination battle at the scene.”
“Especially the Zhang Family, as the strong family second only to the Nangong Family nearby, with many Foundation Stage masters inside, they also have Spiritual Medicine to deal with 【Bone-Spur Disease】.”
“Referring to their actions of assassinating the Nangong Family’s genius and attacking the Zhao Family’s ancestral land, this family chose the path of robbery and invasion in order to delay 【Bone-Spur Disease】.”
“Perhaps in their view, dying in robbery is death, and dying under 【Bone-Spur Disease】 is also death. Instead of being tormented to death by 【Bone-Spur Disease】, it’s better to die bravely in robbery.”
“I don’t know if anyone in this family survived.”
……
A series of thoughts flowed through Qi Xuan’s mind.
Seeing that the live stream time was almost up, he took the opportunity to end the broadcast and began to take stock of this harvest.
Two Clarity Spirit Jade Dews are naturally the most important harvest of this time. This is a divine medicine that can be used to save lives.
In addition to the Clarity Spirit Jade Dew, there is also a black pellet-shaped offensive treasure in the Jade Box, which is also not to be underestimated.
This treasure is called Thunder Bullet, a special explosive that can be detonated with Spiritual Energy.
At close range, killing a Qi Condensation Stage 9 is easy.
Even a Foundation Stage, if they are not careful, will be slightly injured.
Nangong Yaohua could give this Thunder Bullet as a gift to Zhao Lingyun, which shows that he still valued Zhao Lingyun very much.
“If I could have opened the Jade Box in advance, it wouldn’t have been so troublesome to deal with Zhao Yuehong.”
“With one Thunder Bullet, the battle would have ended directly. It wouldn’t have been like before, where I had to use all my skills to barely take him down.”
“Fortunately, it’s not too late to get it now. I don’t know which unlucky guy will welcome this farewell blow next.”
He closed the Jade Box and put it into his Personal Space.
Qi Xuan began to search Zhao Lingyun’s body.
As she said before, there were indeed relics. There were a few Talismans hidden inside the clothes, and two Water Arrow Talismans could still be used, while the others were destroyed.
And besides the Talismans, what’s more important is a silver shuttle-shaped Magic Artifact that is wide in the middle and pointed at both ends.
Without a doubt, this was the Magic Artifact that Zhao Yuehong carried with him, and it was also his greatest reliance for killing two Han Family Foundation Stage members.
Unfortunately, there was a broken Wound on this Magic Artifact, and it had to be repaired before it could restore its full power.
But he didn’t care about the full power. This thing looked like a long-range attack Magic Artifact. When used, it not only required a large amount of Spiritual Energy, but also required a huge amount of mental power to support it. Even a Foundation Stage, I’m afraid, not many people could use it well.
In his hands, it’s estimated that it could only be used for the same purpose as the Magic Artifact remnant, just killing people with the material.
The good news is that even if the Magic Artifact remnant is broken, he has a spare one.
The better news is that he can use two Magic Artifacts to fight enemies at the same time in the future.
Eat my dual-wielding style!
After gesturing a few times, Qi Xuan put away the silver shuttle.
“Taking this opportunity, let’s finish the Lottery directly!”
He opened the Lottery page and saw the 302B in the upper right corner, and Qi Xuan couldn’t help but whistle.
Of course, it wasn’t that he harvested 300 in one day, but the accumulation from yesterday was included.
“But no matter what, this is a real thirty draws.”
“Three draws, if you don’t get good stuff, I won’t blame you, but now it’s thirty draws, you can’t just send me some random stuff again, right?”
Muttering to himself, Qi Xuan slammed the lever at the slot machine.
Amidst the low, rumbling sound, ten Light Balls soon popped out on the spot.
Four Mortal items, six Spiritual Items.
There were Green Wood Pills, Spirit Recovery Pills, and the Water Arrow Talismans he had just obtained among the Spiritual Items. When Qi Xuan thought that this round was over, a Spiritual Item that burst out at the end suddenly made his eyes light up.
This last Spiritual Item was Spiritual Liquid, called Heavenly Essence Green Spirit Liquid, which could be used to water most Spiritual Plants.
This thing… is really perfect for him!
Qi Xuan couldn’t wait to take out the Mother Tree Seed.
He dripped a few drops on it, and the withered feeling remaining on the Tree Seed faded a few strands.
“Effective!”
Qi Xuan was immediately overjoyed.
He quickly watered the Mother Tree Seed until the last trace of witheredness completely disappeared before stopping.
Going too far is as bad as not going far enough. It’s just right to bring it to life. In the future, he can slowly water and cultivate it with Spiritual Liquid, at least ensuring that it won’t wither before being planted.
Having solved a worry, Qi Xuan felt much more relaxed.
“Now there’s only the Cultivation treasure left.”
“I’ll go to the Zhao Family to look for it later. If I don’t find it, I’ll go to other families to take a look. I don’t believe I can’t find a single Cultivation treasure!”
He put away the Mother Tree Seed and the Heavenly Essence Green Spirit Liquid.
Next, Qi Xuan pulled the lever again and did a Ten Draws without hesitation.
“Six Spiritual Item Light Balls?”
“Let me take a closer look!”
Spiritual Materials, Spiritual Grass, Green Wood Pills, Qi Replenishing Pills, Spirit Recovery Pills, Spiritual Materials.
Wait, something seems to be mixed in here?
Qi Replenishing Pills?!
Qi Xuan was immediately overjoyed.
That’s great, the time to advance to Qi Refining Stage 6 can be saved.
At most a week, or even less, he will advance to Qi Refining Stage 6 and obtain the sixth change of Qi Refining!
“In such a barren environment of Spiritual Energy, he can still maintain such a fast cultivation speed. He really deserves to be the Chaos Limitless Spiritual Root.”
Qi Xuan happily put away the Qi Replenishing Pills, and then clicked on the last Ten Draws.
This time, there were still six Spiritual Items.
Among the Spiritual Items, besides Spiritual Materials and Spiritual Grass, many were things that had been repeated.
But a very special treasure burst out again.
It made Qi Xuan unable to believe that this was drawn from the Bronze Pool.
Because this thing is called 【Re-draw Card】.
As the name suggests, if you are not satisfied with a certain Ten Draws Lottery, you can choose to give up the prize and redraw.
Although it doesn’t guarantee that the redraw will definitely be better than the previous one, at least it gives him another chance to choose.
Bug!
It’s simply a bug!
Logically speaking, such an important thing shouldn’t appear in the Bronze Pool.
He would rather believe that System Bro went crazy before he accidentally drew this thing.
“All good luck belongs to me!”
“All kinds of blessings are always with me!”
“In this disaster and catastrophe, I will surely be able to overcome it!”
Holding the 【Re-draw Card】, Qi Xuan’s confidence exploded like never before.
He couldn’t even imagine what he would draw tomorrow if he could draw the 【Re-draw Card】 today.
He finally suppressed his excited mood, and Qi Xuan didn’t delay.
He had Sunday dig a pit on the ground, and then collected Zhao Lingyun’s bones, placed them in the pit, and then thought about it, and took out the Jade Box from which he had taken the Clarity Spirit Jade Dew and the Thunder Bullet, and buried it with Zhao Lingyun.
Then he filled all the soil back.
“I can’t convey your message, so I can only do this.”
“I hope that in the underworld, you can resolve the misunderstanding with Nangong Yaohua and be a pair of enviable Dao companions.”
Qi Xuan sprinkled some Spiritual Liquid on it, and the tiny seeds grew, and the place immediately became lush with grass, full of vibrant vitality.
He turned over and rode on Sunday, and went to the distance, continuing to investigate the location of the Zhao Family.
The sky gradually darkened.
……
Night gradually fell.
Those Demon Bugs that had been lurking in various places during the day, one by one, crawled out from the ground, from the sewers, from the cracks in the stone bricks… and all flew up in droves.
Night has come, the hunt is about to begin!
