Chapter 420: A Thousand Years Later, Ten Die and None Survive, But Now It's Even Worse?! (Part 2)
Moreover, its true spirit had never been 'exchanged' before, so it was evident that this person possessed a transformation technique that it couldn't see through, hidden too deeply, too cunning!
"Hmm?"
"What did you say?" Lin Fan gave him a sidelong glance.
"I said you're amazing, master," Lai Wu quickly corrected himself.
"Keep a low profile," Lin Fan said with a smile. "This is the Moon Holding Sect. Since you'll be spending the next ten millennia here as the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast, you can take a look around and get to know our sect."
"But I'm a ferocious beast," Lai Wu whispered in rebuttal.
"A ferocious beast with spiritual intelligence, what's wrong with calling you a Spirit Beast?" Lin Fan replied.
"Spirit Beast... That sounds weird, like the effeminate men you humans talk about." Lai Wu felt helpless, but he had no choice but to comply.
In his mind, he had always been known as a ruthless and fierce beast, feared by all. Now, after being captured by Lin Fan, he was being called a little steamed bun. How infuriating!
Lin Fan shook his head, "Go ahead and explore, but no causing trouble!"
"And definitely no eating people!"
"After you're done exploring, go to the Alchemy Pavilion to collect your monthly allowance."
"I won't mistreat you. You'll work for the Moon Holding Sect, and I'll provide for your needs. In the future, your performance will determine your bonuses."
"In short, the Moon Holding Sect is quite reasonable. As long as you don't stir up trouble, no one will bully you."
"Yes, master," Lai Wu said with a fawning smile and then left, his short legs carrying him away.
As Lai Wu left, Lin Fan stretched his lazy body, preparing to rest and continue his creation technique.
The Nine Secrets... He hadn't fully created them yet! He was eager to see what it would be like to create all nine secrets and use them simultaneously. How powerful would that be?
If he combined it with a Ninth Stage peak cultivator, they might just become invincible on the Immortal Martial Continent. As for whether Lai Wu would cause trouble... Lin Fan didn't think so.
This guy was actually quite timid. He bullied the weak and feared the strong, and as long as the Spirit Beast remained in his control, unless it didn't want to, there wouldn't be a problem.
"Moon Holding Sect."
Lai Wu crawled out of the Moon Holding Sect, with the token Lin Fan had given him hanging around his neck. He muttered, "It doesn't seem that big. What's there to see?"
"Sigh, but if the master wants me to look around, then I'll do it."
"Otherwise, if he asks later and I don't know the answer, it'll be hard to explain."
"Where should I start?"
He looked around, left and right, and finally decided to go to a place that interested him.
---
Fire Virtue Peak!
Of course, Lai Wu didn't know this.
All he knew was that the place was like a fiery mountain, with scorching heat rising into the sky. It seemed interesting.
He had heard some of the more sophisticated beasts talk about how cooking food made it taste better, but he had never tried it himself; he didn't have the time!
Now... Well, now he had the time.
After all, he had already become a prisoner, and he would be spending the next ten millennia here...
He had plenty of time, right? He took a step forward.
His short legs moved quickly on the ground, as fast as lightning. Soon, he arrived at the Fire Virtue Peak lineage, and with the 'Tribute Token,' he had a smooth journey. He entered the inner realm of Fire Virtue Peak without any obstacles.
Afterward, he frowned.
He felt a burning sensation all over his body, making him uncomfortable.
As a water-attributed Spirit Beast, he naturally didn't like flames.
"Is this a Unique Flame?"
Although he didn't like fire, ordinary flames wouldn't make him feel uncomfortable. So, Lai Wu immediately realized that this was a Unique Flame.
Moreover, its ranking was relatively high.
"Interesting, meat cooked with a Unique Flame must taste even better," he said.
He opened his mouth and directly vomited out the flesh of Zhou Chengxian he had previously consumed, then placed it on the fire to roast!
"Although you told me not to eat people, these two were the ones I ate before, and you saw it but didn't stop me, which means you agree," he said.
"And if you didn't stop me, it must mean that these two are enemies of the Moon Holding Sect. Eating them is fine."
Disciples who passed by, fellow members of the Moon Holding Sect, were horrified at the sight.
A cry of surprise drew the attention of many, and several young disciples turned pale with fright.
"Huh? A Tribute Token?"
"A turtle is a Tribute?"
They dared not approach, but when they noticed the Tribute Token, they were speechless. The Tribute was eating... and it seemed like the two people being cooked were complete strangers. They almost felt compelled to report this to their master.
It was at this moment that Liu Xinyue, a direct disciple of an elder from Fire Virtue Peak who was skilled in crafting spiritual artifacts, happened to pass by and witnessed this scene. Her eyes widened in shock.
"What?!"
Liu Xinyue was now a direct disciple of an elder, holding a relatively high position.
Moreover, she was deeply loyal to the Moon Holding Sect and understood that the higher one's position, the greater one's responsibility.
"Senior... Tribute," she said, approaching Lai Wu.
"You're roasting meat?"
At this moment, Lai Wu's 'diameter' was about one meter, as he sat on a stone, one leg crossed over the other, holding a skewer, and roasting the meat with Dragon Bone Fire.
Seeing someone approaching, Lai Wu didn't shy away. "What's up? You want some?"
"You're the first person to strike up a conversation. Old... Cough, I can share a tiny bit with you, but that's all I can offer."
"These two were Apex Cultivators, and with their physical body's energy, your cultivation level can only handle a bite. Eating too much might be overwhelming."
Liu Xinyue: "..."
Her mouth twisted in disbelief, and her entire body went numb.
She had initially thought he was playing around, perhaps using transformation techniques to turn meat into human flesh or something, but now he was telling her that this was indeed human flesh!
And he was casually offering her some roasted meat?
The Apex Cultivator's Physical Body?!
What?!
"This..."
"Ahem, I appreciate your kindness, but I'll pass."
Li Hua's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
If it weren't for the fact that it was human meat, she might have considered it. But human flesh... No, she'd better not.
"You're not eating?"
"What a waste."
Lai Wu glanced at Li Hua, "You're at the peak of the seventh stage, right? If you take a bite, it might help you break through a few minor realms, maybe even reach the 'late' seventh stage."
"Tsk, tsk."
Li Hua: "..."
Her stomach rumbled.
It was indeed a delicacy, but it was human flesh!
Li Hua was speechless, but her heart was filled with shock.
Where did this Tribute Token holder come from?! His terrifying strength was so great that he could treat the Apex existence like a mere skewer of meat...
And now, he was generously offering her some?!
This... this...
"Oh, right!"
As Li Hua's mind was in turmoil, Lai Wu suddenly spoke, "I heard that when you humans cook meat, you use various spices, and the flavor is incredible?"
"This..."
"Yes, that's right." Li Hua wiped her cold sweat.
"Do you have any? Can I have some?"
Lai Wu had initially planned to take it for free, but after considering his current situation as a 'captive', he added, "Don't worry, I won't take it for free. If your spices satisfy me, I'll return the favor."
"Favor...?"
Li Hua didn't want to take advantage, so she quickly said, "It's just some spices, I'll give some to you, Senior."
She took out her spices.
The Old Turtle, with a beaming smile, accepted them, "Ah, good, good, well done."
"You're a good child."
"Oh, and I can't take yours for free. Here, I'll give you a fish."
"This fish, even though it's just an eighth-stage beast, is a great supplement for you. After eating it, breaking through a couple of minor realms won't be a problem."
"Catch it!"
"Huh?"
"No need, Senior. This..."
Li Hua was about to refuse, but suddenly, darkness fell before her eyes.
A massive fish, hundreds of feet long, materialized out of thin air and plummeted towards her.
"What?!?!"
Boom!
She quickly extended her hands.
Fortunately, being at the seventh stage, she could effortlessly support a mountain. So, despite the fish's size, it couldn't push her down.
But...
Was this fish not a bit too big?!
Moreover, the terrifying and fierce aura it exuded...
An eighth-stage beast fish?!
"Ahhhh!"
"Take your time eating. The grilled meat here is quite good. You can cook and eat at your leisure. I'll be on my way."
The Old Turtle left.
Now, it didn't even crawl away but walked upright like the human disciples of Moon Holding Sect.
It even had a hint of the Turtle Immortal's fierce demeanor.
...
After the Old Turtle left, the Fire Virtue Peak disciples, who had been watching, gathered around Li Hua.
Even the Fire Virtue Peak elders were alerted.
Soon, Li Hua found herself surrounded by a crowd.
"Ahhh!"
Fire Kunlun arrived, gazing at the massive fish and sensing the aura emanating from the 'corpse', which made his heart race and his eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
"What?!?"
"You're saying an Old Turtle Tribute Token holder cooked and ate the corpses of two Apex Cultivators and then gave Li Hua this fish?"
"Yes, many people saw it!"
Fire Kunlun: "..."
"Our Sect Master's strength is unparalleled! Not only does he casually give away such a great supplement, but he also cooked and ate the corpses of two Apex beings as skewers. How powerful must he be? He's at least an Apex existence, or perhaps one of the stronger ones."
"Silence!"
Fire Kunlun immediately instructed his elders, "Do not spread word of this, especially regarding the strength of this 'Turtle Tribute Token holder'!"
"Since the Sect Master hasn't made this public, it means he doesn't want it to be common knowledge. This can be our Moon Holding Sect's hidden ace!"
"So, keep it low-key!"
The elders nodded in agreement.
This is ridiculous!
We must keep a low profile!
However, they were all excited, their eyes burning with anticipation.
Liu Xinyue gradually came to her senses and scratched her head, "Fellow sect members and elders, this fish is too big. I can't finish it alone, so why don't we have a barbecue party together?"
"That's a great idea!" Huo Kunlun laughed, "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. I'll make sure you get a custom-made Dao Soldier."
"From materials to refining and maintenance, you'll be impressed."
"Then, many thanks to Elder Huo!"
After that.
Everyone started grilling the fish! But it was too big, and its physical strength was too high.
Helpless, Huo Kunlun even called Huo Yun'er to help, and they used the Dragon Bone Fire at full power, finally cooking it in a short time.
After that, everyone indulged in the delicious feast.
After Liu Xinyue was well-fed and drunk, she directly broke through her current realm.
Many of the weaker disciples who ate a few bites felt hot all over, their faces flushed, and their hearts raced. They howled, and their realms broke through one after another...
However, Liu Xinyue was also considerate and sent a portion of the fatty fish belly to Lin Fan.
"The Liu family, tsk, this girl is even more capable than Liu Xun. Perhaps after Liu Xun, this girl will be the one to lead the Liu family?" Lin Fan smiled.
As he ate the fish belly, his divine sense swept, and he discovered Lai Wu, who was wandering like a turtle immortal, had arrived at the Sword Cultivation lineage.
Chen An had not yet returned, but Deng Tai'a and Li Chunchang were there.
And every day, they were teaching, imparting exquisite sword techniques and profound sword insights.
As he approached, both of them sensed his presence and looked towards him at the first opportunity.
Boom! The gazes of the two collided in the void, instantly exploding, and countless sword intents scattered.
"Huh?"
Old Turtle was surprised, "These two little guys are not weak at all."
After discovering the tribute tokens hanging on each other's necks, neither of them had the intention to fight. They just nodded slightly.
Old Turtle passed by the Sword Cultivation lineage and wandered to the Beast Taming lineage.
Finally, he was attracted by the strange building that constantly emitted howls and approached, taking a glance.
At first sight, his expression changed dramatically.
Chaos!
So chaotic!
Even though Lai Wu had lived for countless ages and prided himself on his vast knowledge, he had never experienced such a thing, and rarely even seen it.
It wasn't that the beast was incapable.
But its bloodline was rare, a remnant of the ancient Xuanwu, such a noble bloodline? Those weirdos, naturally, were not to his liking.
Other races?
Different aesthetics, not his cup of tea!
So, after so many tens of thousands of years, Lai Wu... cough, a virgin.
When he took a look, he saw a professional sex chamber, which was truly eye-opening.
Especially those winged lizards, they were going crazy!
The lizards, along with pigs, cows, tigers, all sorts of beasts, spirit beasts, and even... crabs? How did they manage that?
"Damn it!"
Lai Wu, self-taught, exclaimed, "Damn it!"
"Damn it! These big lizards, show some restraint, damn it!"
"..."
"Interested?"
At this moment, a figure appeared behind Lai Wu.
Lai Wu glanced at him, "Who are you?"
"The master of the Spirit Beast Garden, advisor of the Beast Taming lineage, and the personal disciple of the sect leader, Zhu Rou Rong. May I ask something?"
"Huh?"
Lai Wu's attitude immediately became much gentler.
The personal disciple of the sect leader!
He couldn't let him speak ill of him in front of the sect leader; otherwise, he might suffer.
He rolled his eyes and pointed to the token hanging on his neck, "Did you see it? The new tribute, your master's little brother. In any case, one of us."
"Oh~~~ So, you're one of us!"
Zhu Rou Rong nodded vigorously, "In that case, we should definitely share!"
"Big bro!"
He hugged Old Turtle's neck, and the latter shuddered, his neck instantly extending.
"Big bro?" Zhu Rou Rong was startled.
"Cough, well, I'm not used to having my neck hugged." Old Turtle quickly returned to normal, wanting to scold him but dared not, and could only sigh, "You'll get used to it eventually."
"Then you'd better get used to it quickly."
Zhu Rou Rong's eyes rolled.
He didn't know what identity this Old Turtle had, but it was definitely not something he had achieved on his own. Since it wasn't his own doing, it must have been granted by the sect leader.
And to possess a tribute token meant his strength was at least at the Ninth Realm, probably even the late stage of the Ninth Realm!
Such a research subject, he had never encountered one so far! Moreover, beasts were different from humans. Humans valued talent, but beasts relied heavily on bloodlines. An old turtle breaking through to the Ninth Realm and becoming a big shot, his bloodline... wasn't it strong and elegant?
If they could interbreed, perhaps they could create a new species.
With this thought, he immediately laughed, "Big bro, I see you're quite interested. Want to give it a try?"
"I have all kinds here. As long as you like them, I'm sure they'll agree."
"Did you see those big lizards? They..."
"No, I'm not interested!"
"You should find someone else, no, another beast!"
After hearing this, Old Turtle immediately fled.
Actually, he was a bit tempted, but they didn't catch his eye! Besides, being a virgin for so long... how could he casually give it away?
Pft! This master was too evil!
