Chapter 27: Raising a Child

[Congratulations, host. Your Tool Manufacturing skill has been upgraded to Level 3. Please continue your efforts.]

Shi Nianqing was in no mood to pay attention to the voice in her mind. She hurried outside, only to see the large tiger impatiently herding a grayish-white animal toward her. The prey being driven along appeared to be trembling, bleating mournfully with every step.

"Baa, baa... it sounds so heartbreaking."

Shi Nianqing: ??!

A Fourth-Rank Spirit Master? I will certainly achieve it. Mother, wait for me; I will surely come to take you away. Only strength is the foundation of everything. With strength, you are a king; without it, you are merely a lamb to the slaughter. Therefore, I must become stronger! Shangguan Luoying set this goal for herself in her heart and then began to ask questions again.

"Host, time is running out. Listen carefully: the process of saving you consumed too much of the system's stored energy. The reason the system fell into a three-year slumber previously was due to this energy deficiency. However, the earlier absorption of your internal energy was an accident."

Only after hearing this did Qin Feng's expression soften slightly; if that were the case, it was acceptable.

This wine gourd is a treasure passed down through generations within the Wine Immortal Sect. In his early years, the Wine Immortal was unfortunate in his associations and was tragically betrayed by a close friend, which led to the secret of the gourd being leaked. Ever since then, countless people have racked their brains to possess this treasure.

The leading group of more than a dozen people entered the territory of the Lianjing Youfeng Mountains, their figures descending abruptly, and within moments, they vanished into the thick fog.

I know my parents felt disgraced, but I could only comfort them; there was nothing else I could do. After tidying up the place, I sent my parents home and returned to my own house. I opened the door and walked inside, and no sooner had I entered than Chen Xiayu stepped out from the inner room.

No matter how much spiritual energy is absorbed, once it enters the body, the Great Five Elements Technique can refine it into true energy and store it in the dantian.

"By the way, just now in my dream, my fiancée said she couldn't let me be haunted by ghosts forever. What exactly does that mean?" Now that I have calmed down, I think carefully about the words my fiancée said in the dream, and I truly find them a bit confusing.

It really had nothing to do with me, but considering I did them such a huge favor, they didn't even offer a reward of a million or so—how stingy.

Xie Xie had not expected Jing Yang to press him for an answer. He turned his head and said in a flat tone, his expression unchanged, as if he were simply saying he had finished a meal.

Upon hearing this, Long Wu and Xu Er also wanted to join in the fun, so the plot of the story was expanded to include the treasures from their respective families.

"Uncle Fu, what surprised me most today was the Sun family's second son, Sun Quan. From beginning to end, this young man barely revealed any emotion; his composure and depth are almost frightening. Yet, this is precisely the quality essential for someone destined to achieve great things."

The Demon Blood Venerable swallowed the blood orb in one gulp. At that very moment, the aerial troops all descended, and the flying soldiers charged directly into the Imperial City. "What?" The Emperor's expression changed drastically; he had not expected the appearance of evil cultivators, let alone a Saint Venerable among them.

This was still Ming territory, yet it remained a scene of devastation caused by war. The villages along the road were in ruins, with broken walls and debris; some had clearly been burned to the ground in their entirety. This was all the work of the Japanese army.

It was during this pounce that Gu Jiang seemed to see something, and feeling the impact, he instantly collapsed to the ground.

"Fengxian, regardless of whether they are friend or foe, and no matter the intent of those coming, we must prepare for the worst."

And so, Cao Zang could only continue to hide his identity, suffering in a cycle of happiness and agony.

Since there was no other hope, they might as well pin their hopes on this renowned holy artifact. Now that the three of them were powering the holy artifact, combined with the full-force assault of the thirteen Holy Sons, Ye Yang was certain to die.
