Chapter 005

"You won't be in danger, will you?" Although making money is a good thing, Feng An still asked with some concern.

"I am not trying to scare you," Wei Wushang said lightly, "It is merely due to bloodline; I couldn't help it for a moment."

"How many spirit stones?" Wei Wushang raised his eyebrows and asked

"It's too expensive, I can't afford it," Wei Wushang said candidly, "Thank you, but I don't have any spirit stones, so I'll just use my fists for now." For cultivators who are utterly impoverished, fists are the most practical weapon.

Hehe... are we currently engaged in a dialogue across time and space? The sea is vast and the sky is limitless! What a ridiculous term!

Function Yuan Realm

That is all there is to it. Wei Wushang then flipped his hand and took out a few talismans, waving them in front of Feng An, and said leisurely, "Remember the matter of the Fire Thunder Talisman? Three days later, I will go with you to refine the Heart Illusion Array as your junior sister. If you are truly anxious, you can hand over the materials to me in these few days, and before we head to the Illusion Array, I will prepare it for you."

Thank you, Master. Wei Wushang patiently gathered the spiritual herbs, and seeing his master gazing longingly at the rabbit, he let out a cold snort. Immediately, the rabbit shook itself and obediently hopped forward, nestling into the old cultivator's embrace, nuzzling affectionately.

A hint of worry appeared on her face, and Feng An tentatively suggested, "Why not just let it go?" No amount of spirit stones is more important than life itself

"It hurts, it hurts terribly." The elderly monk rubbed his eyes

Before the voice had faded, suddenly, beyond the endless mountain ranges, in the far distance, a beam of spiritual light shot up into the sky. The immense pressure it exerted gradually spread outwards, and amidst the clear sky, a muffled thunder resonated. The phantom of a gigantic fox clan demon beast occupied half of the azure sky, its three fox tails swirling, stirring the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Feng An felt that something was amiss

"Not..." Feng An was astonished by Wei Wushang's stinginess, and couldn't help but ask in a daze, "Your talismans sell so well, where have the spirit stones I shared with you gone?" Heaven! Such a miser is hard to come by!

With a warm gaze, Wei Wushang looked at the Eternal Immortal, who was laughing and playing with the white rabbit in the field of spiritual herbs, and then turned his head to ask, "What exactly is your purpose in following me?"

Hmm. Wei Wushang gazed quietly at the distant sea of clouds, something flashing quickly in his eyes. After that, he closed his eyes and said, "I want to..."

Feng An was startled to see a hint of pain on the usually composed face of Wei Wushang. She approached the elderly cultivator, crouched down in front of him, and allowed him to bury his face in her embrace. Gently stroking his hair, she softly asked, "Master, does it hurt?" Then, she used her sleeve to wipe the dirt off his face.

"The vast sky and ocean have departed," Wei Wushang replied gently

Really

So what?

Why? the simpleton humbly asked.

When she was initially in a coma deep within Xinzhishan, she still had some awareness

"I never intended to keep it a secret." Wei Wushang said lightly as she let her master go play with the rabbits that had almost become sentient, "It's just that my master lives a reclusive life, and you haven't taken the time to understand him well enough." She suddenly laughed and said, "Even so, what of it? My master, Wei Wushang's master, is like this, and I can protect him, ensuring that he remains this happy forever"

No. Seeing Feng An's insistence, Wei Wushang lowered his head and hung the jade pendant at his waist, saying lightly, "The things he wants to exchange, I have use for."

At this moment, the struggle had reached its peak intensity. The elderly cultivator exerted all his strength, even lifting his rear end, yet he was still no match for the rabbit. With a swift claw, the rabbit snatched the spiritual herb, and a hint of human-like mockery appeared in its snow-white eyes. Then, it leaped into the air and delivered a kick to the elderly cultivator's face

The elderly monk displayed a happy smile and obediently nodded his head

Even his cultivation is inferior to hers

It seems that it can lead to the realm of the letter element!" Feng An said with a hint of envy.

"You won't die." Wei Wushang glanced at him with a hint of warmth in his eyes, then said lightly, "Don't forget to mention that Shuwang Linghua."

"Is it more useful than your life?" Feng An was on the verge of losing his mind; he truly wanted to pry open this guy's head to see if something was wrong.

Wei Wushang never tells lies. Wei Wushang scoffed and said, "If I were to kill you, it would be a matter of a single punch. Do I really need to scare you here?!" As for the art of intimidation, eight Feng An would have already died for good, right

"I didn't expect that you actually have the bloodline of the demon race." Feng An, seeing that his life was secured, no longer cared about the title of master or not, and instead eagerly squatted beside Wei Wushang, counting on his fingers and pondering, "Your bloodline seems to be quite advanced. There aren't many famous spirit snakes in our small Void Realm; which one are you?" He tentatively asked, "Is it the Black Water Snake?"

Master,

Will I not be killed to silence me?

"Last time you mentioned that your weapon is a battle axe?" Feng An truly felt that the world had gone mad. A young girl, clad in heavy, ancient-style black armor that was quite rare nowadays, wielding an axe as her most suitable weapon—how was someone like him, who specialized in sword techniques, supposed to survive? Thinking of Wei Wushang's ability to break through all techniques with a single punch, his eyebrows twitched rapidly, and he resolutely continued, "In the market, I saw a spiritual axe. Not only is it a mid-grade magical treasure, but it also has the formations of Breaking Hard and Gathering Spirit inscribed on it. Moreover, it is forged from the hardest low-grade ice copper sand, making it very suitable for you."

Speaking of the Hanyuanyuan Realm, why does it sound so familiar

The mind, akin to an elderly monk with the innocence of a child, upon seeing his bloodied self, did not turn and flee in terror. Instead, he swiftly approached, hoisting his own body onto his frail shoulders, and slowly, with great difficulty, made his way out of the deep mountains, repeatedly calling out, "Do not die, none shall die!"

The elder known as Wangu was a senior cultivator, and although the name seemed quite peculiar, naming was a personal matter, so Feng An refrained from making further comments. He merely whispered, "In the past..." He did not notice any issues with this individual's intelligence.

While lost in thought, Feng An suddenly noticed Wei Wushang looking in his direction. Those eyes abruptly transformed into a pair of golden vertical pupils, resembling a venomous snake. Just a glance from Feng An instilled a sense of fear within him. He moved his lips and then whispered, "I did not see anything."

Wei Wushang lowered his head and saw that the jade pendant was flashing with a faint stream of light, which contained a subtle spiritual aura. Around the pendant, there was even a small green vortex of wind swirling. Wei Wushang was merely suffering from amnesia, not a brain injury, and immediately recognized this as a high-quality magical artifact. He frowned and asked, "Who gave this to you?"

"I don't know." Wei Wushang's gaze slowly fell upon the proud rabbit. Upon receiving a glance from those cold, vertical pupils, the rabbit's fur stood on end! Trembling all over, it crouched down and crawled to Wei Wushang's feet, raising its two front paws to present the spirit herb atop its fluffy head, adopting a posture of surrender.

At that moment, she gazed with a bewildered expression at the old cultivator's face, which bore numerous bloodstains inflicted by the demonic plant, and silently vowed in her heart that she would protect this person who had saved her with all that she had, even if he was merely regarded as a fool and a waste of the Qi Refining stage in the eyes of other cultivators

This elder of the Wangu Sect, known for his reticence and ethereal demeanor, has unexpectedly taken such action. As I glanced at the spiritual herb being contested between the old cultivator and the rabbit, it became apparent that the rabbit was gaining the upper hand. Feng An could not help but shudder and distanced himself from Wei Wushang, who remained silent and merely observed.

"You know best." At this moment, Wei Wushang's voice unexpectedly carried a hint of a serpentine rasp, causing Feng Anxin's heart to shudder. She cleared her throat and said, "Well, my master has some matters to attend to, so I must take my leave first." After a moment's hesitation, he curled his lip and added, "Also, don't scare people; do you really think I am afraid of you!"

Casting a sidelong glance at this bumpkin, Feng An decided to enlighten this novice about the common knowledge of the cultivation world, "If you don't even know about the Han Yuan Realm, how are you supposed to get by! Don't you know that among the cultivators in our small realm, once one reaches the Golden Core stage, they are not allowed to remain here any longer, but must proceed to the Han Yuan Realm to continue their cultivation?"

A fifth-tier demon beast can be compared to a cultivator in the Golden Core stage; in the context of the Small Void Realm, this represents the pinnacle of strength.

"There are actually妖兽 that have advanced." Feng An exclaimed in astonishment

Fifth-order demon beast? Wei Wushang's eyelids also twitched

Oh no! The elderly monk fell to the ground, looking up at the sky, and immediately spotted Wei Wushang beside him. He found a relative at once, and with a small paw print on his head, he cried out to Wei Wushang, "Wushang, the spiritual herb has been stolen, wuwuwu..."

Eighty. Feng An quickly extended his hand to gesture and said, "Medium-grade spirit stone."

The old man seemed completely unconcerned by Wei Wushang's frightening demeanor at that moment, as he clapped his hands and grasped the spiritual herb, then presented it before Wei Wushang with a naive expression on his face, saying, "This is for Wushang."

In her clear gaze, Feng An had no choice but to speak the truth, saying, "It was given to me by my master." Seeing Wei Wushang silently continue to untie the jade pendant, he became anxious and exclaimed, "Once the Fire Thunder Talisman is completed, even if you do not return it, I will still come to ask you for it!" Truly, if there were really no danger, would this guy, who is so obsessed with wealth, have outright refused at that time?

Feng An felt that he had certainly stumbled upon a significant secret

This person's behavior just now is not merely a matter of a lively personality, but rather... it seems there is some issue with their intellect...

This is Wei Wushang's master, and that is sufficient

"Be good, today I will give you delicious spirit fruits." Wei Wushang patted his head again

Seeing that Wei Wushang was not insistent, Feng An hesitated slightly, yet swallowed the words in his mouth. Instead, he took a jade pendant from his waist and, while mumbling, hung it on Wei Wushang's waist. He resentfully said, "You poor wretch! Going deep into Xinzhi Mountain without bringing anything?" Noticing Wei Wushang turning his head to look at him, he tilted his head and coldly snorted, "I’m borrowing this from you. If it gets damaged, just wait for a lifetime of serving me to make talismans!"
