After driving away the last grateful mountain man, the little old man invited Luo Hong to the small courtyard, where a table of local food and wine had been laid out.
The rich aroma of oily and meaty dishes aroused Luo Hong's craving for food after months of eating clear soup with little water.
Eat a few pieces of meat and take a sip of rice wine, that's a beauty!
It's like wandering in the soft spiritual energy.
Why? Wait, it’s really spiritual!
Luo Hong looked at the empty wine glass and licked his lips. The little old man's daughter-in-law refilled it for him with great discernment.
The spiritual energy rising in the wine is not as good as the authentic spiritual wine sold in the market, but it is not far behind.
"Old man, what is your wine made from?"
Luo Hong didn't expect that he could still enjoy the protagonist's treatment and hope to find spiritual objects from a mortal village. Is this a good reward for good people?
"It's just ordinary rice, but after the rice wine was brewed, I threw a spider-knotted bead into it."
The little old man was very satisfied with Luo Hong's shocked expression, which made him feel more proud.
"What is a Dan Spider?"
"The Dan Spider is a giant spider that lives near the Demonic Spider Peak. This beast is extremely powerful and has rough skin and thick flesh. If it weren't for its slow movement, we would never dare to hunt it."
"I only heard that old clams can form beads, but I didn't know that spiders can do it too."
"Exalted Immortal, don't believe it. This spider can not only produce beads, but the beads it produces are extremely valuable! Last time I brought one to the city, the nobles almost fought over it."
"So, the village actually makes a living by hunting spiders, but it doesn't look like you are rich?"
"Hey, the Red Spider is not an ordinary beast. If it wasn't for the fact that it couldn't survive, we wouldn't have thought of it. And the Demonic Spider Peak is not a kind place either. Poisonous mist and miasma are common, and earth evil spirits will spew out once a year! We rely on hunting. If you have to eat, even a few lives won’t be enough!”
The little old man was very emotional in his words, as if he had suffered a big loss on Demonic Spider Peak.
"Earth evil spewing? What does it look like?" Luo Hong stopped the chopsticks in his hand, feeling a little uneasy.
"I can't even describe it. It's just the continuous black air rushing out from the cracks in the ground. Anyone in the village who sticks to it even a little bit has to stay in bed to recuperate for more than a month!
But strangely enough, in previous years, this earth evil spirit was supposed to erupt a few days ago, but it never missed a day. This year, for some reason, there is still no sign of it. "
The little old man shook his head in distress. If the evil spirits don't come out for a day, the villagers will not dare to go into the mountains. This is not a solution for a long time.
"Old man, thank you for your hospitality. I have something urgent to do, so I won't bother you any more!"
Without wiping his mouth, Luo Hong stood up, took out the Qingye magic weapon and jumped up. When he was flying in the air, he thought of something and stopped and said:
"There will be strange changes in the mountains in the near future. Do not go out before the evil spirits appear. You may see firebirds in the sky. These are auspicious beasts, so there is no need to worry."
After saying this, Luo Hong galloped away from the mountain.
"Oh, hey, this is a real god, he flew away right away!" The little old man hurriedly put away the dishes and chopsticks used by Luo Hong.
"Dad, why is the immortal so arrogant? It's like his butt was burned by fire."
"You idiot, you are talking nonsense again. The Immortal must be in a hurry to slay demons! What are you doing sitting down? Do you want to eat it? Why don't you hurry up and tell everyone! Bastard, the Immortal must be in a hurry! Put down the drink!”
Luo Hong had no time to care about the farce happening at the little old man's house. At this moment, the alarm bell was ringing in his heart, and he wished he could fly back to Yellow Maple Valley with a pair of thunder wings.
As soon as we arrived, the earth demon that had been spewing for decades was late. How could there be such a coincidence in the world!
Someone must have sealed the Earth Demon at Demonic Spider Peak. The only one among us who is worthy of such a battle is Liu Jing, who is in the middle stage of foundation building.
Luo Hong is not worried about Liu Jing's safety. This eldest brother has a real treasure and will be forced to kill him in the worst case.
Luo Hong was worried that if the other party dared to attack the foundation-building immortal cultivators in Yellow Maple Valley, they would most likely wipe out these little shrimps in the Qi-refining stage.
So, slip away first as a courtesy.
...
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
After Liu Jing and Luo Hong separated, he gathered his breath and flew close to the tree crown, and soon arrived at the foot of the Demonic Spider Peak.
As soon as he arrived here, the strong turbid air of the earthly evil made Liu Jingling faint, and he quickly put a talisman to avoid evil on his shoulders.
Observing the surroundings, whether it is rocks or grass and trees, there is a strong earth evil turbidity lingering here. There is very little spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which greatly suppresses the combat power of orthodox immortal cultivators.
"Hmph! It is indeed the lair of evil cultivators. It is lifeless and looks like a ghost!"
Liu Jing was not afraid. With his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, dealing with some evil cultivators in the Qi refining stage was as easy as killing bandits.
"Huh? The soul card sensed the location of Master Nephew Li. Well, he actually caught my disciple from Huang Maple Valley for blood sacrifice. You and others are doomed today!"
Liu Jing noticed the change in the soul card hanging on his waist, and immediately became furious and accelerated to the summit.
At this time, at the top of Demonic Spider Peak, the leader of the evil cultivator who had perfected Qi Refining was kneeling and supporting himself in front of the door of a stone chamber.
"The bird enters the cage and acts according to the plan." A cold voice came from the stone chamber.
"Yes, Master."
After the evil cultivator leader stood up and responded, he flew to the blood altar on the mountainside. The six evil cultivator disciples guarding here immediately saluted respectfully.
"How are the sacrifices prepared?"
"Master, except for the boys and girls you temporarily handed over this morning, all the rest are ready."
The leader of the evil cultivator walked into the cage, pinched a woman's delicate face, looked around, then licked the fresh human blood on the sharp nails and nodded to express satisfaction.
"Although there are fewer boys and girls, these excellent sacrifices are enough for me to break through the foundation building. Let's start the blood sacrifice now."
"Master, why don't you wait for a while, junior brother should be back soon."
"Huh? Are you teaching me how to do things?!" The evil cultivator's eyes flashed fiercely.
"Don't dare! Disciples start the blood refining formation immediately!"
Seeing that their master was angry, the six evil cultivators immediately flew to each point of the blood refining formation, held out the formation flags they carried on their backs, black energy rising from their bodies, and chanted spells in their mouths.
Soon, the blood refining formation was opened, and the blood energy enveloped the blood altar. The leader of the evil cultivator sat in the middle, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and saw a ray of blood passing through a cage holding more than a hundred mortals.
The essence, blood and soul of these mortals in the blood light were drained out, and then all were merged into the blood refining formation, making the blood energy in the formation even richer.
After those mortal souls entered the blood refining formation, they immediately felt as painful as being immersed in a pot of oil and cooked, and countless resentments grew.
Many of the souls rushed towards the evil cultivator leader in the center of the formation with overwhelming hatred, but as soon as they came into contact with the black energy on the evil cultivator leader's body, they were violently bounced away, and the soul body dissipated even faster.
"Even if you mortals become ghosts, you won't be able to harm me in the slightest. Just be obedient and become the food for me to advance!"
The leader of the evil cultivator laughed wildly, and with a change in the magic formula in his hand, another streak of blood light came out of the formation.
At this moment, two silver wheels flew from the sky, followed closely by Liu Jing's angry voice:
"Bold and evil cultivators will die without restraint!"
