Chapter 72 The Invitation of the Holy Son of Yaoguang

After eating the star beast meat, everyone was full of energy. Their bodies were shining with lightning, as if they were undergoing a tribulation.

The surging life essence and thunder force directly acted on the physical body, tempering the bodies of all the fairies in Yao Chi.

Even Li Zhi had not expected that the flesh and blood of the star beasts that had been baptized by the Chaos Divine Thunder would have such a powerful body-building effect, which was far more efficient than the star body-building pills he had refined.

At the beginning, only Li Zhi and the other four were eating the flesh and blood of the star beasts, but soon other Yao Chi disciples who smelled the aroma of the meat also joined the army of meat eaters.

Many Yao Chi disciples ate too much at one time, and were immediately covered in dust and dirt by the thunder power contained in their flesh and blood. They lost all their manners, and quite a few of them exposed themselves, making the scene a mess.

If the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had not acted in time, who knows what kind of eye-catching tricks those disciples would have come up with.

It seemed that they did not regard Li Zhi as a man. Even though their bodies were exposed to the wind and their cheeks were flushed, no one was shy to leave.

Instead, after refining the essence in the flesh and blood, he continued to eat.

Even Huqin was no exception. She would eat for a while, stop for a while, and then eat for a while again, until she could no longer eat.

She can be said to be the Yao Chi disciple who eats the most, except for Li Zhi, the Yao Chi Saint and Yao Xi.

But even so, Huqin left early in the end and returned to his room to digest the overwhelming life energy in his body.

Only the Saint Maiden Yao Chi and the Saint Maiden Yao Guang accompanied Li Zhi from the beginning to the end of the meal.

Moreover, there were no signs of lightning running rampant on either of them.

If it weren't for the fleeting precious light on their bodies, Li Zhi would have really thought that their bodies were already comparable to his own, and that they could digest and absorb all that flesh and blood with their physical strength alone.

Apparently, the two saints resorted to cheating in order to avoid losing face in front of Li Zhi.

Of the more than 500 kilograms of star beast flesh and blood, Li Zhi ate over 100 kilograms alone, the Saint Girl of Yao Chi and the Saint Girl of Yao Guang ate more than 50 kilograms each, and the rest was shared by dozens of other Yao Chi disciples.

When all the flesh and blood of the star beast in the alchemy furnace was eaten, Saint Yaoguang was the first to speak: "Little brother, it's getting late, I will go back first."

After saying that, Yao Xi turned into a stream of light and flew out of the Yao Chi Stone House, heading towards the wilderness outside Yuan City. Lightning flashed faintly from her body, as if she was going to survive a calamity.

Afterwards, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi also left accompanied by two old maids.

Only Li Zhi patted his round belly, lay on the grass in the garden, and admired the beautiful scenery in the sky.

At the same time, he was thinking about what to do next.

Finally, Li Zhi miraculously discovered that apart from his practice, he had no troubles at all.

It seemed that as long as he didn't do anything stupid, he would be able to practice safely and successfully.

Before coming to the Northern Territory, he was still worrying about how to quickly harvest a large amount of pure source, or even divine source.

But now, he was accidentally picked up by the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, and Yuan’s problem seemed to be solved all at once.

It seemed that as long as he lacked something, someone would immediately deliver it to him.

As night falls, the starry sky is vast. The seven bright stars above the sky appear particularly extraordinary, and they complement each other with the surrounding starry sky, as if they are interpreting the simplest truth and principle between heaven and earth.

Li Zhi was gradually stunned.

"Little Li Zhi, everyone has gone back to practice, why are you still lying here alone?" Huqin appeared beside Li Zhi again at some point.

"Sister Hu, do you have family?" Li Zhi continued to look at the sky, without turning his head, but asked directly.

"Of course I have a family." Hu Qin blurted out, then she looked down and saw Li Zhi's clear and transparent eyes. She felt as if her mind had been lost in an instant, and then she sat next to Li Zhi with a gentle face and said, "Are you missing home?"

Li Zhi continued, "I heard that Yao Chi disciples cannot marry. What will you do when you are old and have no family?"

Hu Qin smiled and said, "It's all rumors. Who says that we Yao Chi disciples can't get married? In fact, most of the disciples with ordinary talents will still get married. Of course, disciples like the Saint Girl who are devoted to seeking the truth will not be tempted unless they meet a peerless genius that is hard to come by in a thousand years."

Li Zhi said, "So you Yao Chi disciples can get married. Then you can't practice the Western Emperor Sutra."

Hu Qin said, "It is not so easy to practice the Western Emperor Scripture. In each generation, there are only three or five disciples who are qualified to practice the Western Emperor Scripture. The vast majority of Yao Chi disciples practice ordinary techniques, and there are not many disciples who are qualified to practice the scriptures left by saints. My sister's aptitude is not good, and I can only practice the scriptures left by the king."

Li Zhi asked, "Why didn't Sister Sun Yi come from the city with you?"

Hu Qin said, "Sun Yi has been asked by the elders to go into seclusion. She has better talent than me and can practice the sage scriptures. Maybe after she comes out of seclusion this time, my cultivation level will be surpassed by hers."

Li Zhi asked again: "Sister Hu, I heard that all of you Yao Chi disciples bathe in the water of the sacred spring all year round to improve your cultivation aptitude. Is that true?"

There was a hint of regret in Huqin's voice as she said, "That was a treatment only Yao Chi disciples could enjoy in the past. Now there is no more holy spring water in Yao Chi. Even the Saint Girl can only use the holy spring water to bathe."

Li Zhi asked: "Why is that? Isn't it said that the water of Yaochi is the best in the world?"

Hu Qin seemed to be affected by Li Zhi's emotions and said, "In fact, I don't know the specific situation. I just happened to hear an elder mention it when he was drunk. He said that something had happened in the Immortal Pond, which led to the decline of the Yaochi."

Li Zhi asked: "Then do you know where the old site of Yaochi is?"

Hu Qin said, "It's near the Taichu Ancient Mine. In fact, the Saint Girl Junior Sister is touring the major mining areas, partly because she wants to visit the old site of the Holy Land."

At this point, Hu Qin shut up immediately, as if she realized that the secret had been leaked, and quickly changed the subject, "Little Li Zhi, you have to be careful of the Saint Yaoguang Son and Saint Maiden. Although they have a close relationship with the Saint Maiden Junior Sister, you have already become their prey. Even though Yao Xi got along well with you before, she would not hesitate at all if she really wanted to attack you. Moreover, the Saint Yaoguang Son seems to have discovered that your physique is special. He came to you three times before when you were healing. But he was blocked by the Saint Maiden Junior Sister every time."

Li Zhi asked, "Sister Hu, are you afraid of that Saint Yaoguang?"

Hu Qin thought for a moment and said, "I can't say I'm afraid of him. It's just that my intuition tells me that his intentions are far from being as upright as they appear. He might try to find out your secrets and attack you in secret."

Just when Hu Qin was warning Li Zhi to be careful of the Holy Son Yaoguang, Yao Xi, who had successfully survived the tribulation, returned to Yuancheng again.

In the Yaoguang Stone House, the Holy Son Yaoguang seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Junior sister, how are your observations going? Have you found out his identity and origin?" The Holy Son Yaoguang sat on the Taoist platform, emitting a terrifying holy light all over his body, like a god walking on earth.

Even Yao Xi, a saint, did not dare to act presumptuously in front of him.

Yao Xi put away all his charm and said in a serious tone, "Brother, that child is very mysterious, and his origins are a mystery. He claims to be Cao Yusheng's disciple. But there has never been a great senior named Cao Yusheng in the East Desert."

The Holy Son of Yaoguang asked, "What other news have you heard?"

Yao Xi said, "That kid's physique is very strong, even stronger than yours. Earlier, he treated us to a meal of what seemed to be monster king-level star beast meat. The Saintess of Yao Chi and I together didn't eat as much as he did. Brother, there is one more thing you should pay attention to. That kid has a large number of star irons, but he hopes to use those irons to exchange for divine sources."

The Holy Son Yaoguang nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Junior Sister, you have just survived the calamity. Go back and rest first."

Yao Xi said: "Brother, I won't disturb your practice then."

But after turning around, a strange look flashed in Yao Xi's eyes. Just now, when she went out to transcend the tribulation, she specifically chose an uninhabited area to do it. After confirming again and again that it was an uninhabited area, she began to transcend the tribulation.

Why does Saint Yaoguang know this?
Yao Xi knew that this senior brother had always been mysterious, so he suppressed his doubts in his heart.

After Yao Xi left, Saint Yaoguang asked the empty room, "Have you investigated his background?"

"I am incompetent and there are no clues yet." A masked man in a black robe walked out of the darkness and said.

"Have you confirmed his physical condition?" Saint Yaoguang asked again.

“Before, there were disciples of Yao Chi beside him, and our people had no chance to investigate closely.” The masked man in black robe continued.

"What a waste." Two rays of holy light shot out from the eyes of Saint Yaoguang and directly hit the black-robed man's chest, making a crackling sound, as if being burned by a hot iron.

The masked man in black robe did not dare to dodge and could only endure the punishment from the Holy Son of Yaoguang.

After a while, the crackling sound on the black-robed man's chest disappeared, and he said, "Although I cannot confirm his physique, I can conclude that his physique is definitely extraordinary."

"Do I need you to say this?" Saint Yaoguang seemed a little angry. Then, he took out a palm-sized ancient mirror and handed it to the man in black robe, saying, "This God King Bone Mirror can reflect the life source of a person. Use it well. I'll give you three days."

After the masked man in black robe took the bone mirror made from the skull of the Great God King, he disappeared from the room.

The Holy Son Yaoguang was once again enveloped by the holy light and began a new round of practice.

His intuition told him that as long as he swallowed Li Zhi's life essence, the effect would be better than swallowing the life essence of those demon fetuses.

It is enough to take his Immortal Heavenly Skill to the next level.

The next morning, before Li Zhi woke up, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi came with a thousand pounds of divine source to trade with Li Zhi.

Last night, the elder who protected her rushed back to the sacred place of Yao Chi at full speed and told the Queen Mother of Yao Chi that Li Zhi had the Star Iron in his hand and wanted to trade it with Yao Chi.

The Queen Mother immediately gave the order to open the treasure house of divine source, and took out thousands of kilograms of divine source that she had accumulated over the years in one go, and went to buy the star divine iron.

The value of a thousand kilograms of divine source is almost equivalent to tens of millions of kilograms of pure source, which shows how great the generosity of the Queen Mother of the Yaochi is.

Accompanying the guardian elder was a beautiful young woman who looked to be in her thirties.

At this time, the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi appeared in Li Zhi's room with the beautiful young woman.

Although Li Zhi couldn't see through her cultivation level, the fact that she could make the Saint of Yao Chi afraid to walk shoulder to shoulder with her showed how high her status in Yao Chi was.

Sure enough, after Li Zhi invited them into the house, the Saintess of Yao Chi introduced them to Li Zhi: "Young Taoist Changshou, this senior is the guardian elder of my Yao Chi Holy Land. I came here to trade with you. Could you let us see the Star God Iron in your hand?"

Li Zhi looked at the area of ​​the room and said, "The space here is small, let's go somewhere else."

"There's no need to be so troublesome." The beautiful young woman spoke directly, then waved her hand and released a mysterious light. Li Zhi felt the space around him change. The space in the room instantly became more than ten times larger, isolating the breath inside and outside.

The whole room instantly becomes an independent space.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi looked calm, without any strange expression, which surprised the beautiful elder instead.

Then, he waved his hand and took out four star beast claws made of star divine iron.

Seeing the four dragon-like claws of the Star God Iron Claws, the beautiful elder immediately showed a look of shock on her face and said, "It turns out to be something from the Holy Spirit."

Yao Chi Saintess looked puzzled and asked, "Uncle Master, isn't the Holy Spirit made of stone? How come there is Star God Iron on its body?"

The beautiful elder explained, "The Holy Spirit does not only refer to the life born in the stones. All the life born in the heaven and earth can be considered as the Holy Spirit. These four Star God Iron Claws should be from the giant star beast born in the outer space. However, the claws of that star beast were chopped off before it was fully grown. If the giant claws made of Star God Iron completely transformed into flesh and blood, then its strength would be comparable to that of the ancient sages."

After thinking for a moment, the Saint of Yao Chi said to Li Zhi, "Master Changshou, can you give us some more of the flesh and blood of the star beasts that we enjoyed yesterday?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Of course."

Then, Li Zhi took out a piece of star beast flesh that he had not had time to stew yesterday.

After the beautiful elder saw the flesh and blood of the star beast, her expression immediately became serious. After a long while, she spoke: "This star beast actually died under the chaos thunder, and it is incredible that there is still flesh and blood left."

Yao Chi Saint asked: "Uncle Master, are you talking about the Chaos Thunder?"

The beautiful elder nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Chaos Divine Thunder, also known as the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder. This kind of divine thunder is often encountered when encountering natural chasms."

Then, the beautiful elder looked at Li Zhi with surprise and said, "Young Taoist priest, you are so lucky to be able to obtain this kind of flesh and blood that has experienced heavenly punishment but is not destroyed. The life essence contained in each piece of flesh and blood is almost comparable to a holy medicine."

The eyes of the Saintess of Yao Chi brightened, and she said, "Master Changshou, do you have any extra flesh and blood of star beasts? We in Yao Chi are willing to pay a high price for it."

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "No more. The beast leg we got yesterday was the last one. Let's first see the value of these four Star God Iron Claws."

After weighing the four Star God Iron Claws, the beautiful elder said, "According to the market price, they should be worth eight million kilograms of pure source. But if the four are together, the value will be higher. I, Yao Chi, can give you the equivalent of ten million kilograms of pure source."

Li Zhi said directly: "Deal."

Afterwards, the beautiful elder took out a spiritual wooden box containing a thousand kilograms of divine source.

After inspecting it, Li Zhi put it away.

Now there is no shortage of cultivation resources even in the Taoist Palace Secret Realm.

He is not a holy body and does not need tens of millions of jin of source to break through, so about one or two million jin of source will be enough for him to cultivate the Taoist Palace Secret Realm to the perfect state.

When practicing in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, the resources he needs to consume should be equivalent to the resources consumed by a normal Dao body.

After the transaction was completed, the beautiful elder left with the Star Iron.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi went to see him off.

On the way, the beautiful elder said to the Saint of Yao Chi: "Yao'er, you should keep in touch with the young Taoist priest from time to time. If he needs help, Yao Chi can also provide convenience to a certain extent."

Yaochi Saint asked: "Uncle Master, could it be that the long-lived Taoist priest has other treasures on him?"

The beautiful elder shook her head and said, "I don't know if he has any treasures, and I don't even care what secrets he has. But from the fact that he was able to take out something from a star beast that only exists in the depths of the starry sky, it is enough to show that this boy's luck is really great, and it is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary cultivators. Even if he is very weak now, he will become extremely powerful in the future because of various opportunities. There is no harm in making friends with such a person who is loved by the luck of heaven and earth."

A strange color flashed in the eyes of the Saintess of Yao Chi, and she nodded and said, "Disciple will remember it."

The beautiful elder said, "Okay, just send me here. After you're done, return to Yaochi as soon as possible. The world in the Northern Territory is probably going to be in chaos. You need to improve your cultivation to a higher level as soon as possible."

Yao Chi Saint Girl nodded and said, "Disciple understands."

On the way back to Shizhai, the words of the beautiful elder kept appearing in the mind of the Saint of Yao Chi, making her wonder whether she should take advantage of Li Zhi's luck to visit the old place of Yao Chi, to try to comprehend the traces of the Great Dao left by the Queen Mother of the West herself, so that she can take her comprehension of the "Xihuang Sutra" to a higher level.

Although her physique is extraordinary, she is not a congenital Taoist fetus. After her comprehension of the "Western Emperor Sutra" has reached a certain level, it is difficult for her to make further breakthroughs.

Therefore, she planned to take advantage of this opportunity to inspect the mining area and venture to the old site of Yaochi to comprehend the traces of the avenue left there by Queen Mother of the West. Perhaps this would allow her to break through the bottleneck in her comprehension of the "Queen of the West Sutra".

But when she returned to the stone house, she found that the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter of Yaoguang had come together.

And the Holy Son Yaoguang was inviting Li Zhi to visit the outskirts of the Taichu Ancient Mine.

It is said that it is a tourist project that every monk who comes to Yuancheng will participate in.

There are many tour guides specializing in this field in the city, and Saint Yaoguang has already invited a group of like-minded people to travel together around the ancient mine.

Before Li Zhi made a decision, the Saintess of Yaochi who had just returned said in a voice as beautiful as the sound of nature: "Daoist Yaoguang, since you have come to invite Taoist Changshou, why don't you invite me as well?"

“Since the Saint is willing to come with us, Yaoguang naturally has no reason to refuse.” Saint Son Yaoguang said.

Afterwards, he asked Li Zhi again: "Master, why don't you go with us to appreciate the most mysterious scenery in the Northern Territory."

The Saintess of Yaochi didn't know what to do, so she said at this time: "Master Changshou, don't worry. I will protect you well on this trip."

Li Zhi once thought that the two of them had colluded to drag him to the Taichu Ancient Mine to die.

Seeing Li Zhi's scrutinizing look, Yao Xi walked up to him with a swaying figure and said, "Little brother Changshou, you are not scared. Don't worry, I am here and will not let anything happen to you."

The three of them seemed to want Li Zhi to go with them to see the scenery of the Taichu Ancient Mine.

Li Zhi was a little unsure about what they wanted.

Faced with the enthusiastic invitation from the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi and Yao Xi, Li Zhi found it difficult to refuse the kindness of the Holy Son of Yaoguang.

In the end, he had no choice but to accept the invitation of Saint Yaoguang.
