The Virtue Accumulation Pill was one of the few pills that could be mass-produced. There were actually many pills that were as effective or even more effective than the Virtue Accumulation Pill. However, many medicinal herbs could not be cultivated in large quantities. They were either extremely rare or could only be gathered in the wilderness.
However, the Virtue Accumulation Pill was different. Every medicinal herb was cultivated in a garden. Of course, it also took a lot of time. The longer it took, the stronger the medicinal properties, and the better the Virtue Accumulation Pill.
The most ordinary Virtue Accumulation Pill was equivalent to a year of cultivation. Above that, there were also Virtue Accumulation Pills of three years, five years, and so on. Although it took some time to refine the medicinal properties and remove the dregs, it could greatly reduce the cultivation time. Although the Spirit Grass contained in it could be cultivated, its value was still extremely high.
However, if the foundation was unstable because of taking the pill, then the saved time would have to be spent at the bottleneck. No matter how good the medicinal herbs were, they could only be a powerful support. They could not completely replace the cultivator's own cultivation. The cultivator had to consider and bear the gains and losses themselves.
"I don't have many Virtue Accumulation Pills on hand. The best is a five years Virtue Accumulation Pill, but it's hundreds of times more valuable than ordinary pills."
"I'll take it." Without any hesitation, Li Qingshan bought five Virtue Accumulation Pills. Three of them were ordinary Virtue Accumulation Pills. One was three years, and the other was five years.
Then, he lingered in the prefecture capital for a few more days. Before leaving, he gave the five years Virtue Accumulation Pill to Han Qiongzhi. They spent more time apart than together, so he could only make up for it in other ways.
He still remembered the strange expression on Han Qiongzhi's face as she held the Virtue Accumulation Pill. The joy of obtaining such a precious pill was completely overshadowed by other emotions. It seemed like she wanted to refuse, but she accepted it in the end.
Li Qingshan understood that he should perhaps stay for a while longer. However, he also knew that it was time for him to go on his way again. He could not stay in one place for long for anyone. He could only keep moving forward and reach beyond the Nine Heavens. He did not even have time to care about his own emotions.
So, he kissed goodbye and left.
Li Qingshan collected his thoughts and stepped into Qing Xiao's cave. He took out the Asura Field and took it out. He had not had the chance to examine it in detail yet. There didn't seem to be any changes to its appearance. It was just stained with a layer of blood and some scarlet runes.
With a light toss, the Asura Field enlarged to the size of a Mongolian yurt. Li Qingshan stepped in, and the scene before him changed. A vast expanse of land spread out before him, and at the same time, he changed into his crimson-haired and crimson-eyed appearance. He spread his wings and with a light flap, the scenery was instantly pulled into millions of colorful lines that rapidly flew backward.
He stopped in front of the towering tree. The sunflowers were still blooming, and the flowering period had not passed yet. They decorated the great banyan tree brilliantly.
Therefore, Li Qingshan announced to the big tree, "From today onwards, I am the owner of this place! I'm North Moon. You must be one of the Ten Demon Kings, the Banyan Tree King! "
At present, the most important resource in the Asura Field was this Banyan Tree King. Not only could he provide tree sap that could rapidly recover his spiritual power, he could also give him wisdom and enlightenment. He could seek guidance on many problems in cultivation. Therefore, the first thing he did after entering the Asura Field was to pay him a visit.
"It's you?" The Banyan Tree King let out a cry of surprise.
"What's me? Have you seen me before? "Li Qingshan was shocked, but his expression did not change.
"You're Li Qingshan!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I be that kind of lowly human?!" Li Qingshan raised his voice in displeasure.
The Banyan Tree King suddenly laughed loudly. His enormous body trembled slightly, and his laughter was filled with understanding.
"No wonder I felt that this Asura Field had been refined from the inside. So it was your doing. Si Qing, that brat, is probably going to vomit blood from anger now."
Li Qingshan's body relaxed. "Alright, how did you know?"
"Although I've lived for over ten thousand years, I'm not so forgetful that I can't recognize you after just a few days of separation. Compared to your appearance and aura, your subtle expressions, the way you speak, and your body language are equally clear in my eyes. "
Li Qingshan could only admit that sometimes, he could not hide from others just by changing his face or changing his demonic aura. At the very least, he could not hide from this old and wise Banyan Tree King.
The reason why his double identity had not been seen through was that most of the people who interacted with the North Moon did not recognize Li Qingshan. Furthermore, those who were familiar with Li Qingshan had very little contact with the North Moon. As a result, there was an asymmetry of information. Coupled with the fact that he had used his doppelgangers to confuse others, he had managed to maintain this secret until today. With this lesson, he had to be more careful in the future.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to keep this a secret for me!"
"Don't worry. To me, your little secret is nothing. I've kept many secrets of even greater importance!"
The Banyan Tree King had experienced many things. Although Li Qingshan's existence was rather strange, he did not seem particularly outstanding compared to his predecessors. Of course, this was only his current opinion.
Li Qingshan had nothing to worry about with the Banyan Tree King's promise. As a result, he smiled. "Since we're acquaintances, then I won't hold back. Actually, I still have many questions regarding the Scripture of the Boundless Ocean. I'd like to ask for your guidance, fellow!"
… …
Above Moon Court lake, rain poured down and the waves surged violently.
A huge, red carp swam and rolled in the lake, rising to the surface from time to time and diving to the bottom from time to time.
Bolts of lightning tore through the night sky, following it the entire time.
"What's happened?"
In the Moon Court dwelling in the centre of the lake, two beautiful female night roamers stood on a tall lookout. One possessed a noble bearing, and her eyes twinkled like stars. The other was sexy and enchanting, with large breasts and a large bottom. They were the sisters Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo. Their gazes pierced through the curtain of rain, gazing into the depths of the black water.
Ye Liusu said, "It seems like the carp master rides on is undergoing its tribulation!"
Ye Liubo was surprised. "It's just transforming into a Daemon General, so how can it cause such a great disturbance?"
Ye Liusu had a vague guess, but she did not mention it. The only possibility was that the carp possessed the Water God Seal, but why would something like the Water God Seal be given to someone else unless it was absolutely necessary? She could not help but worry.
The carp that Li Qingshan had named "Li 'l' Red" returned to Moon Court lake with the Water God Seal in its mouth. The power in the Water God Seal naturally flowed into its body.
By now, the Water God Seal had basically refined all the water in the Ruyi commandery, both above and below ground. The Ruyi commandery that spanned fifteen hundred kilometers possessed extremely abundant water resources, equivalent to ten Jiangnan. Just how tremendous was the water spiritual energy it contained?
Even absorbing a thousandth of its spiritual energy was equivalent to who knew how many pills to a water element daemon. As a daemon, they did not have as many cultivation realms and bottlenecks as humans. The most difficult part was accumulating spiritual energy.
With the Water God Seal as a foundation, it reached the boundary of Daemon General in just a few days, drawing down a heavenly tribulation. It contended against the heavenly tribulation, so it obviously drew out the power of the Water God Seal.
Two figures also appeared at a ferry on the shores of Moon Court Lake. One was a vicious man with a savage expression, while the other was a scholar with a dark expression who waved a black feather fan. They were E Dan and Jia Zhen.
"That bastard North Moon actually dared to trick us like this. If I don't kill all of his subordinates, I won't be able to dispel my hatred." E Dan ground his teeth.
"Killing them all would be far too wasteful. It's better to capture them and sell them as slaves back to the Dragon province. That way, we can make up for quite a lot of our losses. Daemons and male night roamers are sent into the battlefields, and female night roamers can be sold for quite a good price too! "Jia Zhen waved his fan. He seemed extremely calm, but his eyes burned with malice.
As Si Qing's right-hand men, they had always received Si Qing's courtesy and trust. They had also received many benefits from Si Qing's identity as a prince. When the lord worried, his subjects would be humiliated. When the lord was humiliated, his subjects would die. Now that Si Qing had just taken office, he had been forced to return to the Dragon province to apologise for his crimes. To them, this was a great humiliation. They had to get revenge.
As a result, they cast aside all of their schemes and used absolute strength to crush their way over. When they saw the situation above Moon Court lake, they came to the same conclusion.
"There's a daemon undergoing a tribulation. With such a disturbance, don't tell me it's that wretched daemon of the North Moon? He's only a Daemon General right now, yet he's already so powerful. If he breaks through to Daemon Commander, just who in the Ruyi commandery can stop him?" E Dan frowned.
Jia Zhen calculated with his fingers. "It's just a single heavenly tribulation. It's definitely not the North Moon. How can it cause such a disturbance …" He sank into thought for a while before his eyes lit up. "It's very likely for the Water God Seal to be in the daemon's possession!"
As long as they obtained the Water God Seal, they could make up for the loss of the Asura Field. If they combined it with the Mountain God Seal and refined the true Seal of Mountains and Rivers, they would basically have achieved their objective.
Right when the two of them were about to strike out, a voice suddenly rang out from behind.
"My two friends, it's really been a while. What brings you to my humble abode today?"
In the storm, a man with scarlet hair, scarlet eyes, and completely naked stepped over the surface of the water, striding over. His flawlessly handsome face carried a wicked smile. He was North Moon, or more accurately, Li Qingshan's mirror clone.
As the saying went, when enemies met, their eyes would turn bloodshot. E Dan's eyes had indeed become bloodshot all of a sudden. He gave off a violent aura, immediately scattering the rain in the surroundings. He stared at Northmoon like a monster about to swallow him whole.
"North Moon!"
Jia Zhen raised his feather fan and stopped E Dan. "North Moon, return the Asura Field, and we'll write off our grievances. We'll leave immediately. Or do you really want to fight to the death with us? "
However, he had already made up his mind. Once North Moon handed over the Asura Field, he would immediately snatch the Water God Seal and cut off his wings, before finding an opportunity to kill him.
"Well, I admit that I was indeed in the wrong in this matter, but the Asura Field is not in my hands. It was snatched away by that Mo Yu, and I was almost killed by him. I only managed to escape with great difficulty."
North Moon spread his hands and said helplessly.
He also frowned internally. With just a clone, he was definitely no match for any one of them. Even if his main body rushed over, he would not be able to defeat their combined forces, unless Helicoverpa Rosa was willing to come and help him later. However, he had no hope in this at all.
