"It won't work if you try to play dumb and get away with it. I helped Qingmu refine the demon-taming pill in Douhuo Palace, and we are also deliberately spreading the news. Ordinary demon cultivators may not understand it, but how could those powerful ones not understand it?
The Demon-Raising Pill is based on the principle of balancing yin and yang, which means that I can refine pure yang pills and have a better understanding of pure yang energy than others.
If I were to act dumb the moment I opened my mouth, do you think the people in Qingchi would easily believe me?"
After a pause, Yang Qian continued, "You are right about one thing about this matter, that is, we cannot be the last one to come forward and get rotten first. However, there are still many opportunities to be gained here. I still need to think carefully about the balance."
"Hehe, Master Yang, you are more far-sighted than I thought. Just know what's going on." Zeng Sanming was relieved to see that Yang Qian was not blind to the situation, but had other plans in mind. Compared with his own thoughts, he still felt that Yang Qian was more meticulous. After all, since they met, Yang Qian had been moving between the major forces and had always been at ease.
Hopefully this time it goes smoothly too.
Just half a day later, Yang Qian and Zeng Sanming were invited directly into Jade Immortal Lord's Star Shuttle and left Fengxiaokou all the way from the base.
"My Lord, where are we going?"
"Go to the Qingchi Altar. My master, Immortal Hehe, wants to see you."
Yang Qian thought to himself, "As expected. And judging from the situation, they are not going to let him and Zeng Sanming show their faces outside. It seems that the two pieces of information about Fengleikou that he revealed to Qingchi were taken very seriously.
And Qingchi is planning to keep this news to himself?
Jade Immortal Lord did not say much along the way and seemed to be in a hurry. Even after entering the territory of Qingchi, he did not slow down, but directly used the Star Shuttle to bring Yang Qian and Zeng Sanming to the door of the hall in the center of Qingchi before stopping.
"Zeng Sanming, please follow these disciples and wait outside the hall. Master Yang Dan, please follow me in to meet the Immortal Lord."
"Yes!"
Yang Qian and Zeng Sanming separated and then stepped into the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Yang Qian smelled a strong fishy odor in the hall that made him feel like vomiting.
"Is this the smell of a fox's glands? This Hehe Immortal Venerable is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
Before coming here, Yang Qian had learned about this Immortal Lord of Qingchi.
A rare natural spirit fox, it is said that it was born in a void world somewhere in the middle domain. Even when the Heavenly Palace existed, it was still a rare spirit beast in the world.
After being enlightened by the immortals, they were transformed into human form and lived in the gardens of the upper world.
As for why the immortals in the Heavenly Palace raise a fox demon, and whether it is a fox demon that practices the Hehuan technique, there is basically nothing to guess, because it is obvious.
To put it bluntly, it is a meat bucket that collects Yin. It is not to say that it is miserable, but it is also unbearable to look back. After all, whether it is Heju or Caibu, they are all about getting benefits for themselves, but being regarded as the source of collecting Yin is to make wedding clothes for others. It is estimated that they will only get a little bit of oil and meat throughout the year, and the majority of the profits are taken by others.
Now that the Heavenly Palace has disappeared, Liu Yu, the fox demon, is naturally completely freed. Her suppressed cultivation has naturally made rapid progress. Among the demons today, her cultivation speed is one of the best.
Just smell the fishy odor in this hall and you will know what would happen if an ordinary demon cultivator smelled this odor. They would not be able to control themselves at all.
Look at the Jade Immortal Lord next to him. Even though he is at the Immortal Lord level, his face turned slightly pale in the fishy smell in this hall. He only managed to resist it with a soft and feminine magic power rising from his body.
What should Yang Qian do? He would naturally use his magic power to close his five senses, a crude but most labor-saving method to resist the fishy smell around him. In fact, Yang Qian didn't need to do this at all. He was a man in wolf's clothing. The fishy smell here would only make him feel stinky, but it would not cause any other physical reactions, let alone disturb his mind.
But at least he had to pretend. Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous if a mere wolf demon in the celestial realm could ignore the aura of the Immortal Lord.
"Master Yang Dan has a good idea."
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. My ability is limited, so I can only resort to this last resort." Yang Qian smiled awkwardly. After all, shutting off the five senses is a last resort. Although it can avoid the influence of the surrounding fishy smell, it also greatly reduces your reaction and strength. It is a stupid method.
Of course, this was also in line with Yang Qian's level of cultivation. He seemed helpless and clumsy.
As for the source of the fishy smell, Yu Xianjun and Yang Qian tacitly did not mention it.
Soon, Yang Qian was brought to the door of a side hall.
"Okay, Master Yang Dan, you can go in by yourself. The master is waiting for you inside." Jade Immortal Lord smiled and paused, motioning Yang Qian to continue walking inside.
"The Immortal Lord won't go in?"
"Master said he wanted to meet with Master Yang Dan alone."
Yang Qian's heart suddenly tensed up. If it was any other demon who wanted to meet him alone, he wouldn't be so nervous. Only a smelly female vixen made him a little nervous. Was she trying to force herself on him?
But think about it, it's not very likely. After all, as a dignified Immortal Lord, he won't be so shameless in such a situation, right?
While Yang Qian was daydreaming, he stepped into the side hall and saw the fox demon in red, Liu Yu, standing in front of a mural in the side hall.
Yang Qian couldn't appreciate a fox demon, especially one that looked like a fox, but stood upright in human form. In his eyes, it was no different from a cat or a dog.
"Little demon Yang Qian pays homage to the Immortal Lord!"
"Haha, Yang Qian, Yu said that you are slick, knowledgeable, and well-mannered, totally different from the arrogant wolves. Then take a look at this painting, can you understand it?"
After hearing this, Yang Qian turned his gaze to the mural.
After a while, Liu Yu turned around and looked at Yang Qian and asked again: "How is it? Can you see anything?"
Yang Qian frowned and bowed, saying, "To reply to the Immortal Venerable, this mural seems to be using an ordinary story to metaphorically illustrate the relationship between cause and effect. Is this the truth of heaven and earth that there must be a cause and an effect?"
The mural is not profound, it is divided into four parts, which together represent the life of an ordinary hunter. The four important nodes are all about the hunter's choices and the final outcome.
"Yes, it seems to be a story about choosing good or evil, but in fact, the core is about cause and effect. You reap what you sow. Master Yang Dan is indeed very insightful.
But cause and effect is not very accurate. Another way of saying it is to use destiny. What do you think, Master Yang Dan?"
After a pause, Liu Yu saw that Yang Qian didn't know how to answer, and continued with a smile: "Qingmu has always wanted to refine the demon-raising pill, which is not a good thing. His master Mu Huo doesn't know the depth of the pill, but I do. Now Qingmu's braid is in Master Yang's hand, right?
Haha, and to refine the demon-taming pill, one must have a very deep understanding of fate. Even in the Heavenly Palace, there were only a few people who had this ability.
Master Yang Dan, you know so much about destiny, but do you know your own destiny?" (End of this chapter)
