Chapter 62 - Eldest Senior Brother

Chapter 62: Chapter 60: Eldest Senior BrotherHalfway up the mountain, the scenic slope was surrounded by Little Wood Spirit, who endlessly circled around Ye Qiu, offering treasures like countless Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Wine from its own space.

Ye Qiu curiously opened the wine stopper, and a burst of fragrance assaulted his senses. After taking a sip, he found the taste not only sweet and mellow but even capable of quickly restoring the Spiritual Energy within his body.

Ye Qiu stared at Little Wood Spirit in amazement and asked, "How did you brew this?"

"Didn’t I ask you for the brewing recipe ten years ago? I didn’t have most of the Spirit Fruits listed, so I modified it a bit," Little Wood Spirit answered softly and tenderly.

Ye Qiu remembered that he had bought the recipe for the Spiritual Wine for a thousand low-grade spirit stones, and at the time, his senior brother Shun Hua even mentioned that he had paid too much! He never expected that changing the ingredients would still yield such effects. If there really were legendary Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Fruits, perhaps even Immortals would get drunk!

Ye Qiu tasted several kinds of Spiritual Wine and finally, under the accusing gaze of Little Wood Spirit, took out the gift he had promised to give it.

"Here, this is it, a Little Water Spirit." Ye Qiu took out a spirit-binding box, opened the lid, and the Water Spirit, which had been silent for many years, eagerly sought freedom and wanted to escape immediately.

But Ye Qiu was prepared and had set up an Array around him; there was nowhere for it to escape.

Little Wood Spirit, hitting walls everywhere, glared at Ye Qiu, the chief culprit, and conjured a water orb to throw at him.

However, perhaps because these naturally nurtured creatures were inherently pure or because it had been bound for too long and had little Spiritual Power, the water orb was not very powerful—it was merely for intimidation.

"Hello there!" Little Wood Spirit greeted the Water Spirit curiously and joyfully, feeling very comfortable from its aura.

The Water Spirit, hearing this soft and tender voice, hesitated for a moment, then turned its head and noticed a creature with a similar aura and curiously flew over.

One was a crystal-clear little water droplet, and the other a palm-sized little person; the two creatures chatted softly, occasionally glancing at Ye Qiu, who patiently waited for them to finish.

After a moment, Little Wood Spirit ran over excitedly and said, "Qiuqiu, Little Water has decided to stay, and now the Spirit Fruits in my space will grow very quickly."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, waved to summon Little Water Spirit, and calmly said, "Don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything. I originally took you just because I didn’t want you to follow that woman, for your own good. Following her, there would have been no good end."

Little Water Spirit was unconcerned; in fact, it was still confused. In that moment before, it felt as if someone had told it in its heart to follow that person, and after it was taken away by the man in front of it, although angry, it gradually came to its senses. Why had it felt such a strong desire to follow that person?

Thinking carefully, it felt as if something had been controlling its mind!

Water Spirit shuddered, but since this man had not forced it to acknowledge a master and had rescued it from that place, and Little Wood Spirit wanted it to stay, with nowhere else to go, it decided to stay.

At this moment, at the meeting point between the Cultivation World and the Demon World, in a secluded cave, besides Qingling and little fox, there was a man dressed in black. It was the man from the Demon World who had once confronted Qingling, but now apparently they were reconciled.

She smiled at him while thinking of Ye Qiu from her sect, her heart filled with cold laughter. See, her so-called senior brother might look down on her, but even a Demon Prince from the Demon World was captivated by her!

"I need to return to the Demon World for a while; stay here well and don’t let the creatures from the Demon World find out," the man instructed Qingling softly, even though he was uneasy.

Qingling lifted her head; her eyes still filled with a moist light, she tenderly brushed the man’s hair behind his ear, softly saying, "Then you also be careful, I’ll wait for you here."

"I really don’t want to leave you," the man said, looking at her reluctantly, finally having to leave.

A month later, Qingling, holding the snowy white little fox, which had hidden its seven tails to avoid drawing attention, didn’t know what Qingling had been feeding it during this period, but its aura had abruptly grown stronger, and it seemed on the verge of transforming.

"There are sounds of fighting ahead; let’s go check it out." Qingling leapt up and instantly arrived at the battlefield.

In the fray, four Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were surrounding and attacking another cultivator, who seemed to have set up a defensive formation. The four couldn’t break in, but the cultivator inside the formation seemed to be injured and was about to be unable to hold on much longer.

"Xue Yang, hand over the storage bag, and we’ll spare your life," the cultivators outside laughed as the defensive formation was about to break.

"You wish," the cultivator named Xue Yang gritted his teeth. Even if he handed over the storage bag, these people wouldn’t spare him. Fully knowing that he was a great disciple of Array Sect, would they give him a chance for revenge?

"Then we won’t be polite," one of them said with a stern face, his eyes filled with madness. What if he was a great disciple of Array Sect? He would still end up as a soul under their blades.

Qingling had been observing for a long while and seemed to see something extraordinary in the man hiding in the defensive formation, deciding to come to his rescue.

Silently, she moved behind the highest-cultivation Late-stage Nascent Soul man and released the black beetles from her space.

The black beetles, refined according to the methods described by the residual soul, could suppress anything with Spiritual Energy but had one limitation: they could only be used once a month and only on cultivators of equal rank to her. If used against someone of a higher cultivation than hers, she would suffer backlash.

Although she was only at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, her cultivation technique was special, and her Spiritual Energy was abundant, so dealing with Late-stage Nascent Soul was not a problem. After finishing off this man, the other three Nascent Soul Stage would be easy.

The man suddenly screamed, then fell from midair, his divine essence utterly extinguished.

"Who!" The other three men became alert, nervously watching their surroundings.

With the attacker disappearing, the man in the center of the formation breathed a sigh of relief and was also very curious about who was saving him.

"A passerby who couldn’t stand by," Qingling revealed her form, speaking coldly.

"Don’t meddle in others’ business," seeing that she came out without any fluctuations and without anyone noticing, they grew even more wary.

"What if I insist on interfering?" Qingling smiled slightly, and Xue Yang felt as if he had seen a Fairy.
