The vicious aura in the crystal skull was similar to the tiger demon's. It was definitely not as simple as the skull of a powerful Bone Eating shaman. It was probably related to the totemic vicious beast they worshipped.
Apart from the second, third, and fourth layers of the Phoenix Transformation, Li Qingshan had to practise next, as well as the fifth layer of the tiger demon. Once he harmonised the various powers in his body and completed these two targets, even if he ran into the Dragon King Of The Sea again, he would be able to advance and retreat with ease.
As a result, even if it was even slightly related to his cultivation, he would place great importance on it.
"What's the name of the totemic beast they worship?"
Chrysanthemum Fragilis said, "Qiongqi. It's a vicious beast that likes to eat humans. All of the Bone Eating tribes worship it! Legend has it that in ancient times, a tribe discovered a dead Qiongqi. After eating its flesh and blood, it became a powerful shaman of immense strength. It specialised in feeding on its own kind, producing countless Bone Eating tribes. "
"Qiongqi!" Li Qingshan's gaze shifted in thought, landing on Chrysanthemum Fragilis. "Have you done what I told you to do?"
"There are so many corpses. There's no need to deal with them at all. Spare me, A 'yue!"
Chrysanthemum Fragilis had already been the matriarch for many years, so why would she be willing to do such menial work? After a while, she ran out of patience, so she just sat on the ground and watched Li Qingshan fight the totemic beast.
"Go!"
"I don't want to!" Chrysanthemum Fragilis said in a spoiled manner. Since she could not use force, she would use force. She would still be able to achieve her objective. She was already considering how she could use his power to obtain even more benefits.
Li Qingshan snapped his fingers, and Chrysanthemum Fragilis collapsed on the ground. Her blood surged as if she had been placed in a fire to roast, but she could not utter a single word. The life force that had merged with her possessed his imprint. It could both extend her lifespan and strengthen her body, but it could also become a lethal poison.
Just like how it was said, "Only petty people and women are difficult to nurture. He really had been a little too polite to her in the past few days. Perhaps she had already grown accustomed to bossing people around in the position of matriarch. But from now on, you have to learn to obey.
"What I value the most is fairness. Think about what you paid, and then look at what you got in return. Do you think it's fair? I won't stay here forever. It won't take me more than two years. And then you'll never see me again for the rest of your life. Hopefully, in this short period of time. If you can cooperate with me, at least you will be worthy of my reward. If you can't stand being bossed around, I can put everything back on track. What do you think? "
"I won't dare to do it again!" Chrysanthemum Fragilis felt her whole body relax. She was drenched in sweat and fear was written all over her face.
"I have faith in you!"
Under Li Qingshan's patient guidance, Chrysanthemum Fragilis quickly completed her task. She mounted the beast of burden and set off on her journey back, leaving behind an empty stockade in the middle of the forest. It would not take long before it was swallowed up by new plants.
The sun set and rose. Time flew by.
Li Qingshan grew up quickly. His scarlet hair gradually fell to his shoulders. The power that originally belonged to him returned to his body bit by bit. He was even stronger than before.
It was time to take back what belonged to him!
He suddenly opened his eyes and felt an aura coming to the side of the hot spring, but it was not Chrysanthemum Fragilis's. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Because he didn't want outsiders to know of his existence, he specifically asked Chrysanthemum Fragilis to set up a large area of the Fragrant Flower Workshop as a restricted area. Here, he could enjoy delicious food and wine from all over the world. There was also a beauty. Although he couldn't really do anything, other than that, he could do whatever he wanted.
"Who is so bold as to barge in? Aren't they afraid of Chrysanthemum Fragilis's punishment?"
Through the rippling water, a young woman stood beside the hot spring. She was dressed in green clothes made of extraordinary material. She should have possessed an extremely noble status in the Fragrant Flower market. Her delicate appearance did bear some resemblance to Chrysanthemum Fragilis.
Li Qingshan immediately guessed her name. She was Chrysanthemum Fragilis's youngest daughter, Xianghua Lu.
"Mother sure is stingy. She has the Unaging Spring of Youth, yet she's not even willing to share it with her own daughter!" Xianghua Lu muttered, looking around like a thief. She only said that to cover up her guilt.
Over a year ago, Chrysanthemum Fragilis's strength suddenly increased drastically. She recovered her youth and announced that she had already destroyed the Bone Eating tribe. She also gathered the leaders of the various tribes and held a meeting, establishing the Fragrant Flower clan as the leader. It was also at that time that she set up a restricted area in the Fragrant Flower Workshop. As a result, there were rumors that the Unaging Spring of Youth gushed out from the spring in the Fragrant Flower Workshop.
Regular people still doubted it, but the young woman believed it to be true.
Mother is currently receiving an envoy from the White Lotus Sect, so she definitely won't discover me. Even if she does, I'll be going to the White Lotus Sect very soon. She can't do anything to me. If I don't try now, I won't have another chance.
The young woman comforted herself inside and quickly undressed, revealing her graceful figure. She tested the water temperature with the tip of her foot first before slipping into the water like a fish.
"Didn't you say you're only thirteen? You sure have developed quite well!
Li Qingshan evaluated in admiration. The women of the Mist province developed early. Many of them married at this age, but they aged especially quickly too. If they were mortals who did not practise internal martial arts or Qi Practitioners, they would age rapidly once they reached thirty or forty. By the time they reached forty or fifty, they would be like old women.
"I'm going to be travelling with her very soon."
The arrival of the envoy from the White Lotus Sect was actually because he had urged Chrysanthemum Fragilis to request the White Lotus Sect to recruit a group of followers from the Fragrant Flower market. He planned on using this opportunity to infiltrate the White Lotus Sect and take back the Asura Field. Although he could take it back openly once his strength completely recovered, he really did not want to wait any longer. He did not want the news that North Moon was still alive to reach the Dragon King Of The Sea's ears.
Xianghua Lu lay comfortably in the hot spring as if the water really did have the miraculous effect of restoring youth. She immediately cast all of her worries to the back of her head and gradually became spirited. She dove into the water and began swimming.
Suddenly, she discovered a pair of scarlet eyes staring straight at her.
Gurgle! Xianghua Lu let out a cry of surprise and turned into a bubble. She swung her slender legs and quickly retreated to the edge of the hot spring. She covered her chest with one hand and shouted, "Who are you? Come out!"
A moment later, a small figure rose up from the water. His black eyes were clear and spirited, and his wet black hair hung down to his shoulders. It was Li Qingshan who had concealed his demonic characteristics. Whether it was his sharp teeth, claws, or the sharp horns on his head, they were all gone. He looked like a child of eleven or twelve years old.
"What a beautiful child!" Xianghua Lu exclaimed in her heart and relaxed her guard. "Who are you? Are you my mother's lover? "As she spoke, she began to laugh. How could it be, he was still so young!
Lover! Li Qingshan thought, she really is precocious. However, in the Fragrant Flower Clan, it was really common for powerful women to find a few lovers. The little girl did not even try to hide it.
"Have you also come to steal the Fountain of Youth? How dare you! " Xianghua Lu could not recall that there was such a child in the clan. Otherwise, she would definitely remember him very clearly. Thus, she guessed that his goal was the same as hers. She flipped her palm and wanted to restrain him, but then she thought of something else.
"If I capture him and give him to my mother, wouldn't I also be exposed? Xianghua Lu, you can't be so stupid! If such a beautiful child becomes fertilizer, that would be too much of a pity. I'll do a good deed and let her live. "
"Little brother, hurry up and leave! If my mother finds out, you're dead for sure! "
Little brother? If your mother dared to call me that, I would definitely beat her until she called me father. This little girl actually has some kindness!
"Didn't you also come to steal the Fountain of Youth? Why are you letting me go? "
"This is my family's Fountain of Youth, how can it be called stealing? You thief, you dare to say that to me! How, how dare you! " Xianghua Lu's face was bright red. Her hands danced excitedly, and she came over to grab Li Qingshan. The unbloomed buds were close at hand, trembling slightly. Although they were not plump, they still had a certain charm. The two pink cherries were even more alluring.
"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyes! Forget it, you brat, don't you know anything? Hurry up and get out! "
Xianghua Lu did not try to hide anymore. She grabbed Li Qingshan's wrist and pulled him to the side of the hot spring, but he did not budge at all. Her two hands forcefully pulled him back. "I couldn't tell, but you're pretty strong!"
Her face was bright red. Suddenly, her hands slipped, and she fell backward. She immediately flipped over and stood up, only to see him smiling. Xianghua Lu was even more annoyed. She changed from pushing to pulling, but it was obviously still useless.
Li Qingshan smiled, and said, "I said I won't leave, so I won't leave. Who cares whose family it is? If you can throw me out, then I'm useless!"
"Alright, if I don't throw you out today, little brat, then I'm useless!"
Xianghua Lu spread her slender arms, and hugged him tightly in her embrace. She pulled him up forcefully. As long as his feet did not touch the ground, he naturally would not be able to borrow any strength.
This made Li Qingshan very happy. The soft and fragrant body was in his embrace, and the bud that had just developed was pressed against his face. It revealed a malicious smile, and he opened his mouth to take a light bite.
"Ah! Let go … Shut up, I'm not your mother! "Xianghua Lu cried out in shock, and wanted to push him away.
How could Li Qingshan let her go? He wrapped his arms around her slender waist that was like a weak willow, his hands lightly caressing her delicate body.
Xianghua Lu already knew a little about the matters between men and women, but this was still the first time she had experienced something like this. How could the sensitive body of a young girl be a match for Li Qingshan? A strange feeling of numbness and itchiness arose in her heart, and her struggles gradually became powerless.
"A 'Lu, what are you guys doing?" An explosive shout startled Xianghua Lu back to reality. Turning around, she saw Chrysanthemum Fragilis standing at the edge of the hot spring, her face filled with shock and anger.
"Mother, this little bastard came to steal the Unaging Spring of Youth. I'm not his match, quickly restrain him!"
Li Qingshan took the opportunity to let go of Xianghua Lu, and winked at Chrysanthemum Fragilis. Chrysanthemum Fragilis said, "You make the first move!"
Xianghua Lu kicked Li Qingshan hatefully, grabbed her clothes, and ran out as if escaping.
Li Qingshan spread his hands. "Since we're traveling together, let's get to know each other first! When can we set off! "
"Probably in less than ten days, we can set off."
"Good, you'll get what you want very soon, and you won't have to listen to my orders anymore."
"You're not coming back?" Chrysanthemum Fragilis said in shock. She had not thought that he would let her go so easily!
"Of course, is this place very fun?" Li Qingshan stood on the surface of the water, and with a thought, the surface of the water became as smooth as a mirror.
Under Chrysanthemum Fragilis's shocked gaze, another tiny North Moon leaped out of the water.
The long-awaited Moon in the Mirror!
