The old lady rolled her eyes at him, took something out of her sleeve and handed it to Shen Yi. It was a dragon horn about the length of a palm, crystal clear like jade, with a faint golden luster. A layer of misty aura lingered around the tip of the horn, clearly an extraordinary object.
"Anyway, thank you very much this time."
The old lady placed the dragon horn into Shen Yi's hand, saying, "I can see that you are also a cultivator. This is the dragon horn that old codger shed. Although it is not a treasure, it is enough for self-defense. If you don't mind, you can accept it."
Looking at the dragon horn in his hand and feeling the powerful spiritual energy contained within it, Shen Yi gasped in shock. This was no ordinary "treasure"; it was a dragon horn!
Moreover, it was a horn shed by the Dragon King, which would be a top-tier refining material in the cultivation world, the kind that is priceless and unavailable.
He initially intended to decline, but as his gaze swept over Xu Xian's bewildered face, he suddenly realized that the mythological world is all about cause and effect. He had helped the Dragon King out of his predicament—that was the cause; the Dragon King had given him dragon horns—that was the effect.
If one were to refuse outright, it would offend the Dragon King and his wife, leaving them with the karmic burden hanging in their hearts, which would be unpleasant for anyone.
Shen Yi no longer hesitated and solemnly cupped his hands, saying, "I dare not refuse your gift, elder. Thank you for your generous gift, Dragon King and Dragon Queen."
"Okay, okay."
The Dragon King stroked his beard and laughed, "Come visit Luoshui Town when you have time. I'll treat you well. But I have to go back and continue the rain today, so I won't chat with you any longer."
Yesterday's rain only made up for part of the previous debt. Naturally, he wouldn't pour it all down like Xiaoqing did in the original story. He was the Dragon King, and no one knew better than him how to fix the previous problems. As for the tasks assigned by his superiors today, he naturally had to carry them out immediately.
After saying this, the old couple turned and left, their dragon robes fluttering, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared into the light curtain outside the inn's gate.
After seeing the Dragon King and his wife off, Shen Yi looked down at the dragon horn in his hand, marveling at it.
"Wow, those are dragon horns!"
Shen Yi looked up and almost burst out laughing. Xiao Qing had somehow gotten close to him, staring intently at the dragon horn in his hand. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with longing, and her mouth was practically dripping with saliva. She looked just like a gluttonous cat that had spotted a fish.
For snakes, transforming into a dragon is the ultimate dream. From snake to jiao, from jiao to chi, from chi to dragon, each step is a complete rebirth.
With the dragon horn right in front of her, Xiao Qing's restraint in not directly reaching out to snatch it was already an extreme display of self-control.
"What, you want it?"
Shen Yi deliberately shook his dragon horns and asked with a smile.
"Of course I want it!"
Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly, making no attempt to hide her longing. She was a demon, not like a mortal who would be coy.
"Xiao Qing————"
Bai Suzhen tugged at her sleeve helplessly, but her eyes held a thoughtful look.
The dragon horn was of little use to Bai Suzhen, but it was of paramount importance to Xiaoqing.
Bai Suzhen followed the orthodox path of cultivation, relying on accumulating merit and improving her cultivation. The dragon horn was of little use to her. But Xiaoqing was different. Xiaoqing followed the path of demon cultivation, relying on refining her own bloodline and constantly evolving, transforming from a snake into a dragon, then from a dragon into a chi, and finally into a dragon.
Shen Yi was well aware of this, and with a quick glint in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Protect me for a year, and I'll give you this dragon horn, how about it?"
Shen Yi is currently full of wisdom but has no way to defend himself. If he could get Xiao Qing's protection, it would be a huge gain. Of course, more importantly, Xiao Qing also has Bai Suzhen, a great demon with thousands of years of history, standing behind her.
"To protect you?"
Xiaoqing looked suspicious. Although Shen Yi was handsome and made people want to get close to him, she still wanted to stay by Bai Suzhen's side more than the dragon horns. She shook her head with regret, "Then forget it, I can't bear to be separated from my sister."
Bai Suzhen also showed a look of regret. In her opinion, her path to immortality was almost complete. Once she became an immortal, it wouldn't be too late to turn back and help Xiaoqing. So, although she felt regret, she was not disappointed.
"How about this?"
Seeing Xiaoqing's refusal, Shen Yi was not discouraged. "If you help me deal with the Thousand-Year-Old Purple Bat Demon, this dragon horn will be your reward. How about it?"
The thousand-year-old Purple Bat Spirit, known as the Holy Lord of the Demonic Path, is far more powerful than Bai Suzhen. If his weapon-forging skills could be used to forge her into a suit of armor, it would give him the confidence to protect himself.
"That's a great idea!"
Upon hearing this, Eleven nodded repeatedly. Although he had the official seal and Shen Yi's guidance, which greatly improved his strength, he felt even more secure with these two as his assistants.
"So you're going to deal with the Thousand-Year-Old Purple Bat Spirit—"
Bai Suzhen frowned slightly. Having lived in the demonic path for a long time, she naturally knew about the Demonic Saint Lord, and could even be said to have extremely loathed him.
The thousand-year-old Purple Bat Spirit followed the evil path of absorbing yang energy to replenish yin. The yang energy she absorbed naturally came from humans, which was completely opposite to the orthodox path of cultivation. The reason she later left the demonic path was because the influence of the Purple Bat Spirit caused the entire demonic path to fall into such an evil way.
"That purple bat spirit is highly skilled in magic; I'm afraid I'm no match for him."
In the original story, Bai Suzhen fought against him, and the immortal sword Bai Yi Sword, which she obtained from the Sword Tomb, was shattered by the Purple Bat Demon, demonstrating his formidable strength.
She simply couldn't understand where these two got the audacity to cause trouble for the Purple Bat Spirit.
"Hmph, you can rest assured about that. I have the official seal left by my master. I just need to find the right opportunity and press it onto that purple bat spirit."
Eleven pulled out a huge golden seal and slammed it heavily on the table, a smug look on his face. He couldn't help it; after refining the official seal, it was hard not to get arrogant.
Bai Suzhen was fine when she saw the golden seal. Now that her demonic aura had completely dissipated and she was about to transform from a demon into an immortal, she was not afraid of the righteous energy on the golden seal. However, Xiaoqing, who was full of demonic energy, felt a faint fear in her heart and couldn't help but grab Bai Suzhen's hand.
Bai Suzhen gently patted her, her gaze falling on the dragon horns.
She really wanted to help Xiaoqing get this item. Three hundred years ago, she sealed Xiaoqing at the bottom of the lake. Although it was for protection, she still felt guilty about the suffering of not seeing the light of day for three hundred years. Now that she had a chance to make amends, she didn't want to miss it.
"I can agree to that."
Bai Suzhen pondered for a moment, then finally nodded. "However, let's make it clear beforehand that I will only help you deal with the Purple Bat Demon, and you are not allowed to attack other demons."
She feared that Shen Yi might get carried away with killing and slaughter the demonic path as well, which would be absolutely unacceptable to the kind-hearted Bai Suzhen.
"That's natural."
Shen Yi nodded, then added, "On the condition that they don't provoke me first."
He remembered that in the original story, there were also demons and monsters who wanted to absorb the yang energy of Xu Xian and Ba Liang, no, Eleven.
This name is always called wrong —
Shen Yi frowned and looked at Eleven. "From today onwards, you will be called Eight Liang."
eleven:???
Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen: ? ? ?
Isn't this topic changing a little too quickly?
Fahai, standing to the side, listened to their conversation, his eyes flickering thoughtfully.
Although he was speechless after hearing Shen Yi's words, for a person who is obsessed, no matter how reasonable you are, it is useless. You are always wrong, and no matter how reasonable your words are, they are still wrong.
A thousand-year-old purple bat spirit, a holy lord of the demonic path—what merit would it be to subdue such a great demon?
Fahai unconsciously tightened his grip on his staff, already having other plans in mind.
