#715 - The pinnacle of the third rank
“Young Master.”
“Young Master? Are you alright?”
More than ten breaths later, when the sword energy dissipated and the dust settled, and the golden dragon in the air slowly transformed back into a yellow dragon, Yang Liushi finally recovered from the series of shocks she had just experienced.
On the other hand, Wei Changtian still stood there blankly, and after a long while, he opened his mouth as if waking from a dream.
“Huh?”
“Oh, I’m fine.”
Shaking his head, temporarily suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, he raised his eyes and looked around.
The surroundings were full of crisscrossing sword marks, and the snake’s corpse, which had been split in two, was scattered on the east and west sides in the distance, with blood constantly gushing from the severed parts.
The yellow dragon was still swimming overhead, but judging from Yang Liushi’s reaction, she shouldn’t be able to see it anymore.
“Huff”
The Luo Qiong Sword was nearly twice as powerful as the Gui Chen Blade.
And the Dragon Spring could turn the Qi Luck Yellow Dragon from “illusory” to “real”.
Obviously, today’s harvest far exceeded Wei Changtian’s most exaggerated expectations.
However, he also knew that now was not the time to think about these things, so he took a deep breath and asked:
“Is there any reaction from the Solar Eclipse Pearl?”
“Not yet...”
Yang Liushi had only spoken halfway when the two of them saw a trace of black light slowly overflowing from the snake’s head, and then drifting towards Yang Liushi.
The black line was left by the snake demon in front of them.
The former had three hundred years of cultivation.
The latter had almost two hundred years of cultivation.
Therefore, the Solar Eclipse Pearl now stored nearly five hundred years of cultivation.
“Put the pearl away.”
After glancing at the round pearl worth 3000 system points in Yang Liushi’s hand, Wei Changtian gave a word of advice, and then walked closer to the snake’s corpse.
It was a great demon after all, so it definitely couldn’t be wasted.
“Swish!”
Wielding the Dragon Spring, Wei Changtian dug out the demon spirit pill in a few strokes, then sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Demon Absorption Technique.
Strands of white mist poured into his body, and after about a quarter of an hour, his dantian, which was already on the verge of saturation, expanded once again, allowing his realm to officially advance from the late Third Rank to the peak of the Third Rank.
Wei Changtian had already almost reached the peak of the Third Rank when he returned from White Spirit Mountain, so he wasn’t too excited at the moment.
Perhaps the improvement of a small realm was difficult for others.
But for him, with the help of “Demon Absorption” and “Soul Devouring”, this process of simply accumulating cultivation was very simple.
So the key was still when he could break through to the Second Rank...
“Alright.”
Standing up and dusting off his body, Wei Changtian walked to Yang Liushi’s side and threw the demon spirit pill to the latter.
“It’s done, let’s go.”
“Mm.”
Catching the deep red demon spirit pill, Yang Liushi nodded, and the two of them walked along the way they came towards the mountain gate of Yellow Maple Valley.
Then, they soon saw the Yellow Maple Valley people gathered together, trembling with fear.
“Sect Master Huang, the demon has been eliminated, you can order people to clean up.”
Stopping in front of the middle-aged man at the head, Wei Changtian said lightly: “Your sect should pay more attention in the future, lest demon beasts sneak into the mountain gate without you knowing.”
“Yes, yes, yes! This, this humble one will remember your teachings, Young Master!”
Upon hearing this, the huge stone in the middle-aged man’s heart finally fell to the ground, and he repeatedly responded in a hurry: “Young Master, rest assured! This will never happen again!”
“That’s good.”
Wei Changtian nodded, took two steps, and suddenly asked again: “By the way, Sect Master Huang, did you see a golden dragon in the night sky just now?”
“We saw it! We saw it!”
“Young Master is mighty! We are fortunate to have seen it today!”
The man didn’t react for a moment, and subconsciously began to flatter wildly.
However, he wasn’t entirely flattering.
After all, when he saw the golden dragon just now, his eyeballs almost popped out.
So it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that these words were “sincere”.
It was just that after the man had said so much, and then discovered that Wei Changtian’s expression was not only not happy, but instead becoming more and more gloomy, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have misunderstood the meaning.
Obviously, Wei Changtian didn’t want them to “see” it.
“Uh...”
“Young, Young Master, this, this humble one...”
For a moment, the Yellow Sect Master was so frightened that he couldn’t even walk, stammering and not knowing how to smooth things over.
Fortunately, Yang Liushi stepped forward at a critical moment and offered him a way out.
“Sect Master Huang, what the Young Master is talking about is a yellow dragon.”
“Could it be that you mistook that snake demon for a dragon?”
“Ah?”
“Ah! Madam, what, what you said is right! What you said is right!”
The Yellow Sect Master was stunned for a moment, then nodded frantically: “Now, now that I think about it, it is indeed that this humble one mistook that snake demon for a dragon!”
“Yes! It’s just a snake demon!”
“Gold, golden dragon or something, we have never seen it!”
“...”
Mistaking a snake demon for a golden dragon.
Obviously, this reason couldn’t be more fake.
But sometimes it doesn’t matter whether a reason is fake or not, as long as there is one, that’s enough.
So Wei Changtian didn’t say much, just snorted coldly and stopped talking.
On the other hand, Yang Liushi took the opportunity to threaten:
“As expected, this concubine expected that Sect Master Huang must have been mistaken, after all, there was no golden dragon at all just now.”
“By the way, Sect Master Huang, this concubine has heard that your sect specializes in a poison called Half Moon.”
“I wonder if this concubine can ask for a few bottles to poison mosquitoes?”
“Ah? Poison, poison mosquitoes?”
“Mm, is that not allowed?”
“Ah! Of, of course you can!”
“Someone! Hurry up and get Half Moon!”
“...”
In this way, after killing the snake demon and taking the Yellow Maple Valley’s annual production of “Half Moon”, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi, who had successfully completed all the goals of the night, quickly left Yellow Maple Valley by carriage.
And it was already midnight when they returned to the inn.
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the street, only a bright moon hanging alone in the sky, casting a cold silver glow.
Looking back on the whole day, Wei Changtian undoubtedly gained a lot. If he had another “pre-sleep exercise” with Yang Liushi, he could put a perfect end to this perfect day.
However, when the two of them reached the door of their room, he didn’t go in, but turned his head and said to Yang Liushi:
“You go to sleep first, I still have something to do.”
“Mm, I’ll wait for you.”
Yang Liushi didn’t ask what Wei Changtian had to do, but said softly: “I just asked them to make some midnight snacks.”
“Okay, whatever you want.”
Nodding, Wei Changtian waved his hand with a smile, and then walked alone to the top floor of the inn, entering a quiet room specially for guests to drink tea and talk.
Turning back and closing the door, he didn’t call anyone in to serve him, but lit the candles himself, ground the ink, and spread a piece of rice paper on the table.
After doing all this, Wei Changtian sat upright at the table, thinking and writing names on the paper.
Red Cloud Sword.
Autumn Goose Saber.
Fish Gut Sword.
Pure鈞 Sword.
Silver Devouring Golden Silkworm Armor.
