Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 61: Black Blood Lotus

Qin Yi and Ye Ling were looking in front, unaware of the crisis behind them.

But someone knew.

Liu Su saw things not with its eyes, but with its soul. All the changes around it were in its mind. Unless it was blocked, its soul power was not strong enough to penetrate currently, it would have no blind spots. It watched the whole process of the grass beastkin emerging from the ground and enlarging.

It was hesitating. Should I remind them or teach them a lesson?

Qin Yi and Ye Ling were joking all the time. Although Liu Su complained, it actually knew that Qin Yi had not lost his vigilance. It could clearly sense the Qin Yi’s muscles and true qi flow. It knew very well that although Qin Yi was joking, he had always been ready to act at any time. He was also observing the environment carefully.

This is enough. It is actually a good thing to have a relaxed and joking attitude when facing a danger. If he is too tense, he will lose half the battle first.

But the lack of experience is fatal, and vigilance alone cannot make up for the lack of experience.

For example, at times like this, can you really be sure that there is nothing behind you? Just because you just walked by?

Such thoughts are wrong. This is a beastkin environment. No one can predict what weird things will happen. You must first set up an array or place an enchanted weapon, serving both as protection and warning.

But this doesn’t seem to be the time to teach them a lesson… If it attracts the attention of the beastkins over there, it will be troublesome…

Liu Su sighed. It controlled the mace and smashed the grinning grass beastkin into a paste.

“?” The grass beastkin didn’t know how the mace could move on its own before it died…

This time, Qin Yi was quickly alarmed by the commotion. He turned his head suddenly and saw the beastkin corpse under the mace.

He secretly glanced at Ye Ling, who was still watching the skirmish intently, then he secretly sent a will message to Liu Su, “Thank you.”

Liu Su said coldly, “I wanted to teach you two a lesson initially, but I think it’s not the right time. Do you still dare to be careless?”

“I’m actually not careless. I just didn’t expect this…” Qin Yi said embarrassedly, “Should I set up a protective array first?”

Liu Su was very satisfied with his conclusion and gave its affirmation

Qin Yi took out a few array stones collected from Dong Huazi, briefly arranged an array, and said, “Do you think the key here is the black lotus or the peach?”

“The area where they fought is a huge beastkin refining array. What is being refined this time is not the beastkin pellet, but the beastkin blood essence, which is gathered into this Black Blood Lotus. This lotus has a maximum of nine petals. Now this one already has four petals. It is considered a real good thing. It can be used as a material for many high-grade elixirs. It is especially valuable for the soul and divine thought. If it is a nine-petal Blood Lotus, it will be even more incredible. It can even be used by many powerhouses. But based on the condition here, five petals would be the limit.”

Liu Su said it calmly, but Qin Yi had already secretly nodded the words ‘valuable for the soul’.

“Don’t be greedy for me.” Liu Su seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, “Once you have desire in your heart, your actions may go awry. Remember what your goal is.”

Qin Yi did not answer this and continued to ask, “What about the peach?”

“It is highly likely that the peach is just a kind of voodoo spell to affect their minds. They won’t notice the array and will regard the peache as some kind of holy object to fight for. Whoever wins in the end and eats the peach will most likely be the puppet of the caster.”

Qin Yi took a deep breath.

If without the advice of a well-informed cultivator, who could see through it themselves?

He was sure that what Dong Huazi saw was definitely not this scene. The array here might have evolved several times. This arrangement was obviously more ruthless than burying beastkin transformation miasma to turn animals into beastkins for their beastkin pellet. This array had a greater objective.

There is a master here. It is definitely not a ruin!

Qin Yi pondered in his mind. The master of this place is definitely a capable cultivator or shaman. I’m not his opponent at the moment. Maybe me and Ye Ling are under his watch now. In this situation, trying to seize the Blood Lotus is definitely courting death.

I really have to put aside that greed. After all, this is not mine. How can I steal it just because it is beneficial for the soul? Have I read too many novels? Liu Su is much calmer. Even if it is very beneficial to it, it has no intention about it.

Qin Yi secretly felt ashamed. He always said that he was indifferent and Liu Su was always anxious. In fact, when it came to state of mind, he was hundreds of thousands of light years behind Liu Su.

Judging from the stele set up by this person, as long as we don’t ruin his good deeds, there will be no problem at least staying here. If we really want the Blood Lotus, maybe I can try to visit him and trade with him with something?

“Brother, brother…” Ye Ling suddenly whispered, “Did you see it? I saw several beastkins that can use spells!”

Qin Yi temporarily recollected his mind and watched the battle between the beastkins carefully. Soon, he discovered that many of these beastkin monsters could cast spells.

It was different from Ye Ling’s black fire or the eagle beastkin’s Wind Blade. Those were inherent talents that every beastkin had. However, for high-level beastkin cultivating methods and spells suitable for beastkin cultivators, it was difficult to invent on one own without someone teaching.

Qin Yi saw the two-tailed fox. Not only could it launch the same Wind Blade as the eagle beastkin, but it could also control the trajectory of each Wind Blade. This should not be something that fox beastkins were naturally capable of. Their talent should be illusion or charm.

Never mind the Wind Blade, it could even cast Cyclone Spell. Several centipedes that got close were swept up into the sky by its Cyclone. By the time they fell down, they were torn into pieces.

This was obviously a systematic inheritance!

However, this fox also died in the skirmish. A three-eyed wolf beastkin shot a strange ray from its third eye, piercing its heart.

“What a pity. It’s a fox in the Xianxia World…” Qin Yi sighed sadly.

Ye Ling said, “That’s a male fox.”

“You actually know what I’m thinking?”

“I have listened to my brother’s “Journey to the West.”” Ye Ling counted on her fingers, “There are three foxes in it, the nine-tailed fox, the jade-faced fox, and the white-faced fox. They are all female. In fact, I wanted to ask at that time. Are all the foxes female in brother’s eyes?”

Journey to the West took the blame innocently… Basically, 90% of modern people’s first reaction when they hear fox beastkin was female. Vixen had already become a noun… In fact, Qin Yi had also seen a handsome male fox beastkin named Kurama, but it did not affect the deep-rooted gender determination of the fox beastkin at all.

“Then let the male die.” Qin Yi couldn’t explain, so he had to change the subject and said, “There are many spells here, not just that fox. I think you should be able to find a beastkin cultivation system that is suitable for you here.”

Ye Ling nodded, “Let alone spell, I don’t even know how to cultivate on my own.”

You don’t know how to cultivate, yet you are already so strong at such a young age… Qin Yi looked at the bloody battle and suddenly felt that he had missed something very important…

This strange formation specifically targets beastkins, from extracting marrow to pellet and to blood, how much does the master of this place hate beastkins?

Wait a second…

Ye Ling is a beastkin!

Qin Yi’s heart skipped a beat. He carefully poked his head out from the edge of the rock to check the ground ahead.

There were faint patterns on the ground that looked like the meridians of the human body. They were surging over from the rock. The speed was fast. They were only a few feet away from covering them.

This beastkin refining array will really spread!

It turns out that not only do you need to be vigilant behind you, but you also must not miss the invisible ground blocked by the rocks in front of you! Qin Yi really learned his lesson. He grabbed the oblivious Ye Ling and ran backward.

Several of the beastkins in the skirmish seemed to see two figures running away, and their eyes were filled with murderous intent.
