Chapter 475 Souvenirs

?The maidens took in a deep breath at his words, knowing that there would be an intense battle between him and the beasts.

"Oh, but since our time is limited, I will try to be as quick as possible"

He then chuckled as if he was talking about going to a store to buy something trivial.

He flicked his sleeve as a dozen new talismans flew out of it, creating a small barrier within the translucent film while he went out of it, his eyes flashing with electric light as small bluish-white sparks crawled on his skin and larger ones snaked around the spear he took out.

The Demonic Beasts twitched, raising their heads in his direction as he moved forward.

'... the God of Slaughter...'

Hua Ziyan suddenly remembered the one of the titles he was given looking at his back which disappeared from their sight the next moment.

The thought came to her naturally, seeing as he was the only one she knew who never regarded large numbers of his opponents with any fear despite repeating that there was strength in numbers.

In fact, it was common knowledge that a large number of weaker individuals could topple someone far stronger than them if they only pressed all at the same time and did not relent because of casualties. But it was utterly defied by his existence.

Wu Long's body traveled at previously unimaginable speed, the tempered muscles powered by the lightning.

At the same time, the ice and snow melted by the heat of the lightning were accumulating into bubbles of water floating around him, growing bigger and heavier by the second.

They then started forming streams of water circling around him, and when he reached the first beast, the stream of water already bearing the volume of a small river pushed the beast into vulnerable position and a spear pierced it's head.

This time he was using the different aspect of water, using the incredible power it possessed in sweeping away anything if enough volume was brought on.

"Heh, now we're talking"

Wu Long chuckled at the feat he was unable to do when manipulating Water was too burdensome on his Spiritual Qi reserves.

He was using streams of water that only continued to grow, with the blood of the beasts joining the streams, turning them crimson.

Soon he was manipulating a small crimson lake which moved in streams, rushing the beasts, restricting their movements, obstructing their vision, and guarding from their attacks while he moved in between them, making accurate deadly strikes to their vitals as the water gave way to him.

It did not take long for him to kill almost half of the beasts, while the remaining ones ran seeing the massive volumes of crimson liquid spread before their eyes like a monster ready to reap their lives and swallow them within it's maw.

"Hmm, that one"

Wu Long saw the most powerful 9th tier Demonic Beast, and as the water suddenly froze in place and then started falling, he disappeared from his spot, catching up to the beast while the crimson streams he no longer bothered with started to collapse and flood the vicinity.

The eyes of the women on a distant hill captured the astonishing sight as a red carpet rapidly spread far and wide while Wu Long was finishing a smaller 9th tier beast only twice the size of a human.

It was a different type from the ones stampeding through the Winter Forest, a Bull-like creature with six horns and a menacing appearance.

What they saw next surprised them as after taking out its core he took the whole corpse into a separate Spatial Ring.

"I'm done"

He then turned to the hill with a shiny smile as the women there wryly smile as his demeanor poorly matched what the just did.

Hua Ziyan came over first as the rest arrived slightly after.

"I-is the corpse of that beast special?"

"Hm? Oh, no, it is just suitable for cooking"

"Eh?"

As one of the Core Disciples curiously asked, all of them then made a confused sound at his answer while a knowing gaze appeared in Hua Ziyan's eyes.

"Ah, so that was why you didn't take the meat from the ones before... are you picking out the ones suitable?"

She chuckled as she wondered why he was not interested in the meat of the Demonic Beasts in the Winter Forest.

"Mm, I have to pick out the best since I have the choice. Not to mention those we met before were not good at all, their meat is foiled by their poisonous blood. It could be detoxified but it does not taste good at all"

"Hehe, Sister Wei Lan is going to be happy"

"Haha, I hope so, but don't tell her before I give it to her. I want to surprise her since lately there wasn't anything quite suitable"

"Of course, but promise you will do it when I am present, hopefully when Mingyu and Min'er are there as well... I want to see that face hahaha"

Hua Ziyan lightly laughed with a glint of mischief in her eyes while Wu Long shook his head with a wry smile.

"I thought you three looked suspicious when I gave her that crab on the Southern Sea, so you were having fun at her expense"

"Haha, it's nothing offensive... it's just... you have to admit that face is something you don't want to miss"

Hua Ziyan's cheeks lightly blushed as she looked down, but still turned her gaze to him as if peeking out from beneath her eyebrows with a slightly guilty but still amused look.

'Haha, so cute'

He could not hold back and laughed, hugging her with the words "Yeah, I agree", since he truly loved seeing the expression she was talking about himself.

The others were still looking at them with round eyes with the exception of Xue Bing whose eyes did not reveal any emotions. Their conversation caused them to question their reality yet again.

The sun was now already setting to the horizon, as the brief period it directly shone on this side of the Secret Realm was coming to an end.

He made a motion, with the spear, splitting up the hill, revealing a root-like plant the size of a human head, further spreading thinner roots into the ground.

"The Heart of Ice Lands... it is a medicine which only grows in regions abundant with Cold Qi like this"

Wu Long smiled as he went in and carefully cut it with a small jade knife, safely storing it in a wooden box after wrapping it in fabric with inscription patterns, and then putting it away to his Storage Ring.

He then took hold of the main stem of the auxiliary roots, and tugged with force, unearthing a large number of smaller ginger-like roots.

"And this here, is the Cold Yin Qi roots which it grows to convert the Spiritual Qi. You can take some, as they are quite beneficial for Yin Qi cultivators"

He smiled, cutting off the roots from the ground with the same knife, and the maidens looked at each other in hesitation once again.

"We didn't do anything to help you obtain it so we don't have any claim for it..."

Xue Bing spoke up for the rest while he chuckled.

"Hahaha, it is not something priceless. Just a little souvenir. I would feel bad letting beauties go with empty hands after coming all the way over here.

Besides, there is enough here for my women, consuming one is enough as the efficacy drops to miniscule at the second one and completely negligible for any consumed after"

Wu Long smiled, as he held close to 50 small roots.

The Core Disciples had a light blush touch their cheeks at being called beauties by him, and modest but pleased smiles appeared on their faces as they looked at each other and lightly giggled.

"...if you say so... thank you very much, Daoist Wu'

Xue Bing saw his point, not arguing anymore as all of them took one each.

"Not a problem, I will write down how to best consume them later"

He smiled putting away the roots.

Xue Bing looked at him and then at Hua Ziyan with a slightly curious gaze, as she noticed that there was not even a shadow of dissatisfaction on her face or in her demeanor even as he complimented other women.

But as she saw the eyes which turned to the brown-haired heavenly beauty again, she somehow also understood her. If someone looked at her this way, it would not really matter to her if they praised other women either.
