Chapter 281: 160: Spirit Master Ye Qjngzi

Translator: 549690339

Sky Demon Worms were gregarious soul pets that always attacked and returned to their nests together. However, they were also an extremely selfish and greedy group. When one of their comrades was seriously injured, the other Sky Demon Worms would follow closely behind it. Once they discovered that it had little ability to resist, they would attack the injured member. This phenomenon was especially common during the Zhehuang Time, as these countless Sky Demon Worms were all starving devils.

To devour their fellow tribesmen might offer the chance to ascend in power. At this moment, the ones surrounding the Eight-winged Sky Demon Worm were all Eighth and Ninth Stage Commanders. They were still probing this fearsome monarch, wanting to know if it was truly harmless and could be slaughtered at their mercy.

Finally, a Six-winged Sky Demon Worm launched an attack, followed by other Six-winged Sky Demon Worms, which also let out ferocious shrieks, greedily pouncing on the Ninth Rank Monarch.

The Ninth Rank Monarch let out an anguished howl, waving its somewhat broken wings and charred arms, striking crazily, causing the surrounding mountains to crack.

The power of the Ninth Rank Monarch still remained, but it only struggled desperately. After the frenzied assault of the Eight Six-winged Sky Demon Worms, the Eight-winged Sky Demon Worm’s injuries grew heavier, with its limbs already severed.

A cruel dismemberment scene played out before Fox Elder, but the cunning elder had a very patient demeanor.

“Rip!!!”

A Six-winged Sky Demon Worm’s six arms forcefully tore open the Ninth Rank Monarch’s chest, its arms like blades, frantically slashing and burying its head directly to feast on the Monarch’s internal organs!

“Soul Core?” After the chest was torn apart, Fox Elder immediately noticed a soul core flung off to the side.

The value of soul crystals was far greater than soul cores, but the Soul Core of a Ninth Rank Monarch was worth at least 1,000,000 gold coins in the market!

Glancing at the soul core, Fox Elder couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed. However, Fox Elder had guessed this outcome too, as it was apparent that this Ninth Rank Monarch hadn’t undergone any enhancement and baptism, merely possessing the high stage and high level with an extremely low probability of condensing a crystal in it.

After taking another look, Fox Elder was considering whether to snatch the soul core from those few Six-winged Sky Demon Bugs, when suddenly, one of the Six-winged Sky Demon Worms vomiting its undigested internal organs, which happened to land right in front of Fox Elder.

What it spat out appeared to be a special type of internal organ, covered with the Six-winged Sky Demon Worm’s sticky green saliva. This saliva could corrode the stone palace’s rocks but couldn’t completely corrode this organ.

“Could it be the Stinging Heart that only congeals in an extremely small number of powerful insect species?” Fox Elder’s eyes immediately lit up, turning his big head left and right to confirm that there were no other Sky Demon Worms around.

“Swoosh–—–” Fox Elder’s figure flashed, quickly pouncing on the sticky fluid-drenched Stinging Heart, swiftly collecting it into his own space, and then leaving the area filled with charred corpses as if he were fleeing…

Darkness and White Flame both gave off a cold sensation, yet Chu Mu still felt his consciousness enduring torment…

The negative effect of half-demonization once again plunged Chu Mu into the scorch of his soul’s high temperature. Chu Mu felt as if he had fallen into the endless purgatory, experiencing the most painful torture.

This torture continued incessantly, and it was excruciatingly long. Chu Mu even felt that he would be completely reduced to falling into this purgatory, never to rise again.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Mu gradually felt a hint of coolness, then as if a refreshing spring was poured into his body, bringing an indescribable comfort.

Finally, Chu Mu gradually awakened amidst this refreshing sensation.

Opening his eyes, Chu Mu saw a stone wall, with a faint yellow light cast upon it, projecting an enchanting shadow.

Due to the pose, the shadow magnified the full chest, slender waist, and perky rear, forming a beautiful and seductive curve that left Chu Mu somewhat dazed.

Slowly turning around, Chu Mu could guess who the person was. What surprised Chu Mu a bit was that the woman standing to the side was busy working with Soul Sense to mix the potion while being focused, cautious, and skilled…

Chu Mu lay there, watching the beautiful woman meticulously working on the potion. Sometimes, he stared at her beautiful and earnest profile, sometimes at her soft, boneless slender hands, and sometimes, his gaze slipped down, carrying a few naughty thoughts, lingering on her enchanting and tempting body.

Ye Qingzi did not realize that Chu Mu had already woken up. She continued to combine various ice attribute potions and spirit items according to different proportions. However, to make these potions and spirit items with the same attributes but different spiritualities blend together to create a powerful potion suitable for Chu Mu’s peculiar high-temperature phenomenon proved extremely difficult.

A wisp of black air rose, and the originally blue potion suddenly underwent a change. Seeing the destruction of these precious potions, Ye Qingzi frowned, looking disheartened.

“Old Raccoon Li, this method seems to be wrong…” Ye Qingzi turned her head, intending to ask the speaking raccoon elder, but her gaze met Chu Mu’s, who was sneaking a peek at her.

Ye Qingzi was slightly taken aback, and quickly realized that Chu Mu had woken up, and had probably been watching her for quite some time.

A hint of shyness flashed in her beautiful eyes, but Ye Qingzi quickly returned to her original appearance and greeted him with a faint smile. “When did you wake up?”

Feeling a bit guilty, Chu Mu blushed and replied somewhat awkwardly, “I’ve been awake for a while now. I, uh… didn’t know you were a Spirit Master, so I was watching you make the elixir.”

In the soul pet world, besides Soul Pet Masters, there were other special professions. One of them was Spirit Masters, who were also known as pharmacists. The term “pharmacist” was an honorific for their profession because medicines usually referred to low-level healing and detoxifying herbs, while spirit items were more advanced and effective materials. With various applications such as attribute enhancement, strength increase, crystal condensation, growth metamorphosis, healing, soul nurturing, and poison treatment, only true Spirit Masters could deeply study them.

Spirit Masters were graded based on the level of the spirit items they could create. For now, Chu Mu could not determine Ye Qingzi’s Spirit Master level. Generally, one was considered a Spirit Master of a certain level if they could successfully create a spirit item of that level with a 10% success rate. Chu Mu did not understand the specific evaluation system, but he knew that the Spirit Master’s grading system was determined by the Spirit Sect.

Similar to the Soul Pet Palace, the Spirit Sect’s influence didn’t extend to all cities. Chu Mu wasn’t very knowledgeable about the Spirit Sect since he rarely interacted with Spirit Masters. However, it was undeniable that Spirit Masters were quite wealthy as they could make high-priced spirit items from cheaper medicinal herbs – a lucrative profession indeed.

Chu Mu had only dabbled in spirit medicine formulation. While he had some understanding of the basic combination of spirit items, creating one proved rather difficult for him.

In truth, Chu Mu was not very interested in spirit medicine formulation. If he had to take a side job, he would prefer to be a hunter.

Being a Spirit Master was a skillful, high-cost, high-reward profession, while hunting was a labor-intensive, low-cost, high-risk one. With good luck, hunting could be extremely lucrative too.

“It’s good that you’re awake. Your injuries haven’t completely healed, so rest a bit more,” Ye Qingzi said with a smile.

“What are you concocting?” Chu Mu asked.

“Ice Soul Grass – a spirit item with strong ice poison properties. Your Old Raccoon Li said it would be beneficial for your body. However, creating something with this high difficulty level is a bit tough for me, so I’m trying my best, ” Ye Qingzi explained.

“Young Master, you’re really lucky to have encountered a Spirit Master like this. Otherwise, who knows when you would wake up. Thank heavens, really, thank heavens,” Old Raccoon Li jumped in front of Chu Mu, brazenly chiming in.

Seeing the unsightly old man jumping around in front of him, Chu Mu directly twisted his long ears and chided him through soul sense: ‘You old geezer, always running away at the first sign of danger!”

“Young Master, you misunderstand me! I’ve been working hard to clean up the battlefield for you. I collected all the soul cores and soul crystals dropped by the Sky Demon Bugs you killed. Besides…” Old Raccoon Li knew he couldn’t offend the young master, so he immediately offered compensation with the soul cores and soul crystals.

“Oh? How much?” Chu Mu released his grip and inquired.

“There are a lot of soul cores; I only took 100 of those above Level 6. As for soul crystals, I have about eleven, ranging in levels. Among them, there is one Level 7 Soul Crystal and three Level 6 Soul Crystals…”

“That’s all?” Chu Mu stared at Old Raccoon Li. Chu Mu knew this crafty old man’s words were usually watered down.

“Uh… two Level 7 Soul Crystals, four Level 6 Soul Crystals…”

“I’ll take all of the Level 6 or higher Soul Crystals. You can keep the rest for yourself. If you hide another Level 6 or higher Soul Crystal from me, I’ll have the Soul Pet Palace auction you off,” Chu Mu told him directly.

“Eh… Young Master…” Old Raccoon Li looked resentful. No matter how good he was at escaping, he knew he couldn’t outsmart Liu Binglan. If Chu Mu were to mention the old man’s misbehavior to her, she would certainly have him thrown into the Soul Hall’s Seventh Floor Prison.

“Young Master, there’s an amazing item I risked my life to snatch from the corpse of that Ninth Rank Monarch,” Old Raccoon Li immediately reported.

“What’s so amazing about it?” Chu Mu asked.

“It’s called Stinging Heart,” Old Raccoon Li said.

“Stinging Heart? What use does it have?” Chu Mu asked, puzzled.

“Young Master, this is an incredible item. Your War Beast MO Ye lacks some offensive skills and abilities, and you’ve wanted to strengthen it further, right? This Stinging Heart is one of the best tools for such enhancement,” Old Raccoon Li explained.

“Explain further.”

“Your War Beast MO Ye possesses extraordinary life force and incredible battle endurance, which ordinary soul pets cannot compare to. If it could comprehend a Resentment Condensation Skill similar to the White Nightmare Demon’s, it could absorb resentment during battle to continuously increase its strength, defeating even more powerful opponents!” Old Raccoon Li said.

As the old geezer explained, Chu Mu’s interest was immediately piqued.

Just as the old man said, if a soul pet with strong battle endurance like Zhan Ye could comprehend Resentment Condensation, it could continuously absorb resentment during battle and increase its strength. This would enable it to defeat even much more powerful opponents!
