Chapter 0.12 Profound Gold Sacred Body Spirit Liquid
“Old Luo, you’re not joking, are you?” Qin Gou asked unbelievably.
“Cough, esteemed son-in-law, you know me. I don’t have any extraordinary skills in my life, but I’m extremely good at surviving!”
“No, I mean, back in the day, you, Old Luo, actually had such a chivalrous spirit, a side dedicated to eliminating evil and supporting the weak? How come I never noticed it before?” Qin Gou said in great surprise.
“Actually, it was purely by chance, an accidental success. After I casually killed some scoundrels, I just left the little girl to fend for herself. Qianqiu’s current success is purely due to her good fortune!” Luo Cangming’s tone was quite casual, as if he were merely describing an insignificant trivial matter.
Then, Ji Qianqiu continued, “Although that Abyss Mighty Figure at the time said he casually eliminated a few impudent brats and accidentally saved my life, it was still him who personally escorted me away from the Human-Demon Border, and he consistently refused to leave his name.
“That mighty figure only said that not only was his own son-in-law a pure-blooded human, but he had also witnessed firsthand many harmonious interactions between humans and demons. Those who truly deserve eternal damnation are only those who arrogantly call themselves ‘Immortal Gods’! Although he was alone and outnumbered, he was determined to fight that fellow. From the moment he made this decision, his name was destined to be plagued by misfortune and become a taboo in the Abyss.”
“So that’s how it really was. Old Luo, you said to just let them fend for themselves. You weren’t shy, were you?” Qin Gou’s gaze was surprised, and he couldn’t help but transmit his voice in a query.
“Isn’t it… everyone has their youthful moments?” As he spoke, Luo Cangming’s old face turned red.
“In Ji Qianqiu’s words, the ‘Immortal God’ you were going to challenge, could it be that… Abyss Demon God? I assume your past sealing within the Demon God Sacred Image was also related to this matter?”
“It was truly you and Luo’s girl who severed the Demon God’s connection to the Abyssal Divine Bridge. My actions only provided a minuscule amount of help.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Gou looked at Luo Cangming with a gentle gaze. If Ji Qianqiu hadn’t brought this up, Old Luo would probably have never voluntarily revealed it. After all, he always disliked talking about his past. However, after this incident, Qin Gou couldn’t help but feel even closer to Old Luo.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, how about you join us in exploring the secret realm now? As you can see, we do have a way to accurately locate other cultivators within the secret realm. And if we encounter the Fire Crow Bi Fang that you need to deal with, we will naturally all attack together.” Qin Gou immediately proposed.
“Fellow Daoist Qin’s willingness to generously assist is something I am deeply grateful for.” Ji Qianqiu accepted without hesitation.
Luo Cangming also looked at Qin Gou, showing a hint of gratitude. After all, the reason he had asked Wu Ti Yue to find Ji Qianqiu was precisely because he hoped she could also join their group.
…
The Scarlet Eyed Spirit Puppet stood with its hands behind its back. Behind it was a familiar ancient door, signifying the location of another treasure vault. As Qin Gou and the others approached one by one, it first glanced at Ao Banwei before slowly speaking.
“All of you must join forces to receive my palm strike before you can enter the treasure vault.”
Seeing this, Qin Gou’s thoughts churned. At this moment, Ji Qianqiu behind him was not concealing his Dharma Aspect Realm aura at all, and Li Yuanzhen, Little Chair, and the others all possessed unique mystical arts and divine abilities. These Scarlet Eyed Spirit Puppets clearly saw all of this, yet they still boasted such grand words.
Clearly, its so-called ‘palm strike’ was no simple matter.
“Then let me do it.” With that, Qin Gou stepped forward.
“Fellow Daoist Qin, this matter is best approached with caution!”
“Young Qin, you…”
“Don’t worry.”
Qin Gou turned around, giving everyone a reassuring look, and then said to the Scarlet Eyed Spirit Puppet, “I will be the one to accept your challenge. But let me be upfront, you can only attack me once. It would be best not to go back on your word.”
“Please.”
The Scarlet Eyed Spirit Puppet nodded affirmatively and then suddenly thrust out a palm. The momentum was overwhelming, capable of shattering mountains and splitting clouds, causing the entire dungeon to tremble violently. It turned out that it had secretly mobilized the power of the secret realm’s origin!
“A’Qin…”
“Be careful!” everyone exclaimed nervously.
The next second, everything returned to calm.
Qin Gou stood in place, unharmed, while the Scarlet Eyed Spirit Puppet exclaimed with a look of shock, “Such audacity!”
Only then did everyone see clearly. Qin Gou was facing the Scarlet Eyed Spirit Puppet, holding the jade box with the character ‘Qin’ in his hand. As a result, the Scarlet Eyed Spirit Puppet’s right palm was frozen rigidly in mid-air, daring not to advance an inch further.
In fact, as soon as Qin Gou personally flipped through that profound technique of the Ban Qin Saber and discovered his own handwriting, along with the sentimental albeit embarrassing boyish sentiments that made him blush himself, he knew that this scroll’s status among all spirit treasures within the secret realm was far more than just a profound technique manual.
Of course, just in case, he had actually only taken out the empty jade box at this moment.
“The palm strike is over. I have successfully passed your test, haven’t I?” Qin Gou said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, the Scarlet Eyed Spirit Puppet’s pupils narrowed. After giving Qin Gou a deep look, it fell silent and decisively turned to leave.
“Alright, let’s go in and see what treasures we have this time.” Saying this, Qin Gou smiled and pushed open the ancient door.
“For this trial, it is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Qin’s efforts. I think I will remain outside and help guard for all of you.” Ji Qianqiu pondered.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, you’re being too formal.” Qin Gou waved his hand.
Old Luo also shamelessly added, “Exactly, we are all family now!”
A moment later, Qin Gou discovered a small bottle of spirit liquid, well-preserved within a small protective formation in the treasure vault.
“Is this the Sacred Body Spirit Liquid that Ruchu mentioned earlier?” Saying this, Qin Gou examined the jade slip beside it.
‘Profound Gold Sacred Body Spirit Liquid, used to enhance special constitutions of the five elements, such as the Demon General’s Er Body, Sword Heart Clear Mind Body, Cold Blade True Body…’
“Yuan Zhen!”
A hint of joy flashed in Qin Gou’s eyes. He immediately handed the small white porcelain bottle to Li Yuanzhen, saying, “The Sacred Body Spirit Liquid in here perfectly matches your Sword Heart Clear Mind Body. After consuming it, it will undoubtedly greatly improve your cultivation.”
“This… A’Qin, are you giving this to me?”
“That’s right. This is the most suitable spirit liquid for you. Who else could I give it to but you?” Qin Gou nodded with a smile.
For a moment, Li Yuanzhen held the small white porcelain bottle with both hands, her beautiful and sacred little face blushing to the extreme.
Seeing this, Qin Gou chuckled and said, “You don’t need to be so moved all at once, do you?”
“A’Qin, you did it on purpose!”
“What?”
“You yourself have a special constitution, so how could you not know…”
Li Xiaogou glanced at Old Qin with a flushed face, her clear bright eyes holding a gentle spring of shyness and tenderness. In a voice only they could hear, she said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “How precious is the Sacred Body Spirit Liquid? Its astonishing effectiveness can be described as a complete transformation! The only trouble, the drawback, is that once I consume it, I will return to my untainted, childlike state!”
