The eight-legged Taichi Cauldron's transformation into a monster state also caused Xiao Lingyu and the foodie to reveal themselves once again.
However, the Divine Lord monster did not expect a treasure to be able to transform into a living creature. The sudden change caught it off guard and the eight-legged monster that was bathed in flames pounced on it.
At this moment, whether it was a human cultivator or a monster beast, their first reaction was to beat the eight-legged monster away and not have too much contact with it.
The Divine Lord monster was the same. When the eight-legged monster pounced on it, although it did not feel that it was heavily attacked, it still subconsciously waved one of its sharp arms and fiercely stabbed at the eight-legged monster. It wanted to pierce through it and then fling it away from its body.
The eight-legged monster was bathed in white flames. In this state, it did not have much combat strength. Moreover, once it was heavily attacked in this state, it would withdraw its power.
This time was the same. After the eight-legged monster was stabbed by the Divine Lord monster's arm, its power immediately decreased greatly. At the same time, the power of the white flames also rapidly increased. Xiao Lingyu had already seen this in the Tenshi's treasure trove.
The Divine Lord monster's sharp arm did not pierce through the eight-legged monster. Instead, under the burning of the white flames, it rapidly melted into drops of black liquid.
In just a single breath of time, the Divine Lord realm monster's mountain-like arm had been burned away.
This was only the beginning. After the sharp arm was incinerated, the ball of white flames shot out several fire snakes, most of which were aimed at the huge monster and two of which were aimed at Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu knew that the ball of white flames would not let him go. Therefore, he did not hesitate to take out the tube-shaped Saint Artifact and hid in the pipe.
Although this Divine Lord realm monster was much, much stronger than Xiao Lingyu, it didn't have a saint artifact to defend it. Moreover, it was far too close to the brilliant white fireball and was struck by several fire snakes at the same time. Naturally, it wasn't able to escape and was entangled by several fire snakes.
The ball of white flames could even resist the Eight-Legged Taichi Cauldron, so its power was definitely not small. Even a Divine Lord monster would not be able to resist it.
The several white fire snakes only slightly contracted and then the mountain-like Divine Lord realm monster was cut into several pieces. Blood gushed out from its body, forming a rapidly expanding blood lake. The several pieces of its body also floated in this blood lake.
Xiao Lingyu saw the fire snakes coming towards him again. He immediately contacted the eight-legged monster.
The eight-legged monster was connected to Xiao Lingyu's mind and knew what Xiao Lingyu was thinking. It immediately increased its power so that the ball of white flames had no choice but to suppress it. It was unable to attack Xiao Lingyu.
The brilliant white fireball and the eight-legged monster once again entered a state of mutual restraint. Xiao Lingyu took this opportunity to leave the golden tube. After roughly sweeping his eyes over the area, he collected all of the Divine Lord monster beast's limbs.
Fortunately, the space in his storage ring was relatively large. Otherwise, it would be difficult to store such a huge monster.
The commotion here was too big. Xiao Lingyu was afraid that it would attract other Divine Lord monsters. He immediately contacted the eight-legged monster and quickly left with him.
There were no more accidents. Xiao Lingyu returned to the area where the Divine Lord monsters were active. He then found a deep and spacious cave and completely sealed the entrance.
Xiao Lingyu was experienced in changing the Eight-Legged Taichi Cauldron back to its original state. He first adjusted his state and then began to refine the white flames.
The brilliant white flame initially ignored Xiao Lingyu's refinement and continued to suppress the eight-legged Taichi Cauldron with all its might. However, as Xiao Lingyu's refinement gradually deepened, it finally felt threatened. Hence, it gave up on suppressing the eight-legged demonic beast just like last time and pounced toward Xiao Lingyu.
However, in the next moment, Xiao Lingyu was protected by the golden pipe. The eight-legged monster also transformed into its cauldron state. Just like last time, the white flames were swallowed by the cauldron before they could reach half a foot away.
Xiao Lingyu came out of the golden pipe and put away the two Divine Weapons. Only then did he relax.
This time, it could be considered a close call, but it allowed Xiao Lingyu to experience the ferocity of a Divine Lord powerhouse.
However, when he scanned his Storage Ring with his mind, he felt very gratified.
Although it was a little risky and he did not succeed in killing the Divine Lord monster, he still gained a lot.
The Divine Lord monster's Monster Nascent Soul had been scattered by the flame serpents released by the white fireball, but its Golden Soul Bead was still in its head. Moreover, the energy contained within its body was massive. It was estimated that even a thousand late Heavenly Deity monster beasts couldn't compare with it.
If he were to sell the body of a Divine Monarch monster, he would definitely be able to obtain a shocking amount of divine stones. In a place like Kun City, which was neither too big nor too small, a Divine Monarch monster's Golden Soul Pearl was basically a priceless treasure.
With such a great harvest, Xiao Lingyu naturally did not stay in the forest. After resting for a while, he quietly left the forest and headed towards Kun City.
When he passed by the Home of Hunters, Xiao Lingyu took a look at the Kong Family's wanted list. When he saw that Qi Hongqing and Qi Hongrui were still on the list, he did not stop there.
When he arrived at Kun City, he first sold the Divine Lord monster that he hunted and then went to the Wang Family's shop to inquire about the Lily of Fortune. The answer he received was still that the Wang Family did not have the Lily of Fortune. Even though Xiao Lingyu increased the price, the answer was still the same.
Xiao Lingyu walked out of the Wang Family's shop with a disappointed expression. After walking around the city for less than an hour, he bumped into Qi Hongxuan again.
"Brother Xiao, are you free?" Qi Hongxuan asked with a smile.
"Yes." Xiao Lingyu nodded.
"Then Hongxuan will bring you to see an old friend of yours." Qi Hongxuan said and turned around to lead the way.
Not long after, Qi Hongxuan brought Xiao Lingyu to the Kun City's Qi Family's courtyard. Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly and asked, "My old friend is here?"
Qi Hongxuan said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, don't worry. If I wanted to harm you, why would I wait until now?"
Xiao Lingyu had just survived the attack of a Divine Lord monster. This experience made him a lot braver. He did not hesitate and followed Qi Hongxuan into the Qi Family's residence.
With Qi Hongxuan leading the way, the Qi Family members they met on the way did not stop them. After walking around the courtyard a few times, they arrived at a small courtyard.
Qi Hongxuan did not directly push the door open. Instead, he politely knocked on the door first.
Not long after, Yueru opened the door.
When Yueru saw Xiao Lingyu, he was stunned at first. Then, he revealed an expression of joy.
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly again. Then, he looked at Qi Hongxuan and said, "Brother Qi, what is the meaning of this?"
Qi Hongxuan waved his hand and explained, "Brother Xiao, don't misunderstand. Miss Yueru stayed in the Qi Family voluntarily. We did not force her to stay."
Yueru also said, "Brother Xiao, they are very good to me."
Xiao Lingyu's expression became a little better. At that moment, he thought that Qi Hongxuan wanted to use Yueru to threaten him, so he was unhappy.
"The two of you have a good chat. I will leave first."
Qi Hongxuan dropped these words and walked away leisurely.
Originally, there was nothing between Xiao Lingyu and Yueru. However, Qi Hongxuan's last sentence made it easy to hear a bit of ambiguity. This caused Yueru's beautiful face to be dyed with a touch of red.
"Brother Xiao, do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
Although Yueru invited him sincerely, she used a questioning tone. It showed that she was very nervous and uncertain.
"Okay."
After Xiao Lingyu nodded, he followed Yueru into the courtyard.
Yueru wanted to close the courtyard door, but when she thought of the word "leave" that Qi Hongxuan said just now, she withdrew her hand from the door frame.
She did not enter the room. Instead, she sat down at a stone table under a big tree in the courtyard. Yueru took out a pot of medicinal tea, and the two of them chatted while drinking tea.
Yueru mainly talked about what happened in the Linggu Valley after Xiao Lingyu left. Xiao Lingyu listened quietly and did not interrupt. He did not know what to say.
The Linggu Valley's matters were so simple. After speaking, Yueru also fell silent.
At this moment, Yueru realized that she knew too little about Xiao Lingyu. The two of them had not experienced much together. When they met again, she did not know what to say.
The two of them were silent for a long time. Then, Xiao Lingyu stood up and said, "The Qi family should be a good family. Your talents will be more useful here, and there will be more opportunities for you to improve … However, if they bully you, you can send me a message."
Yueru nodded silently. Then, she asked, "Brother Xiao, are you leaving?"
Xiao Lingyu replied, "Yes, I still have some things to do. I might stay in Kun City for a while."
When Yueru heard this, she felt a little relieved.
Xiao Lingyu walked out of the courtyard. He did not ask Yueru to send him off. After walking for a while, just as he expected, Qi Hongxuan was waiting for him at the corner.
"Brother Xiao, don't worry. Miss Yueru will have a good life in the Qi family." Qi Hongxuan seemed to promise him.
"Thank you, Brother Qi." Xiao Lingyu cupped his fists.
Qi Hongxuan led Xiao Lingyu to the Qi family's gate. As they walked, he asked, "Brother Xiao, are you still not done with your business?"
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and did not say anything.
Qi Hongxuan said, "Kun City might not be peaceful in the next few days. Brother Xiao, you have to hurry."
Xiao Lingyu narrowed his eyes. Then, he said calmly, "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Qi."
After they left the Qi family's courtyard, Qi Hongxuan did not send them off. Xiao Lingyu felt that Qi Hongxuan's reminder was not groundless. He hesitated for a moment before heading to the Wang family's shop.
Qi Hongxuan had just turned around and returned to the Qi family's residence when he saw his father, Qi Zhenghao, walking towards him.
"Who was that just now?" Qi Zhenghao asked.
"A villager from the Linggu Valley. His strength and aptitude are not bad," Qi Hongxuan replied.
