Chapter 455: They are honored guests here to do business, don't scare them!

Deep in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, spiritual energy was misty like fog.

Li Chen stepped into this mysterious region for the first time and couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before him.

Spiritual mist visible to the naked eye flowed between the towering ancient trees, exotic flowers and plants emitted a faint fluorescent light, and even the air was filled with a rich aura of life.

Zhu Zhu looked around curiously and said softly: "The concentration of spiritual energy here is actually three times richer than some major sects."

You know, Zhu Zhu had studied in a proper major sect and knew a lot about cultivation matters.

Daoist Yang Ci stroked his beard and sighed: "It is said that the south of Tian Ce is barren, but now it seems that it is a place of outstanding people and spirits. The cultivators encountered along the way are all outstanding figures."

As an 'outsider,' he had some inherent impressions of Tian Ce, which were rumors.

After all, his range of activities was in the southern kingdoms, which were indeed close to the south of Tian Ce, and he occasionally communicated with some powerhouses.

This made him very curious about how powerful the Holy Master of the Witchcraft Holy Land was.

Actually, Daoist Yang Ci saw many seedlings with high talent and wanted to take them as disciples.

He was afraid that if he said it, he would make Li Chen angry, so he didn't dare to mention it.

Li Meng heard this, and her bell-like laughter echoed in the mountains: "It was indeed barren before!"

She jumped and walked in front, her silver ornaments jingling.

"Cultivators in other places always feel that our use of poison is too evil, and they are unwilling to communicate and suppress us everywhere."

She turned to face Li Chen, her bright smile particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

"In recent years, we have opened many witchcraft medicine halls to treat illnesses and save people with witchcraft poison. It was not easy to get the official approval, and finally, we developed."

That is, with the 'medical qualification certificate' recognized by the official, other sects could not treat them as evil sects anymore.

This is the recognition of the Tian Ce official; which sect dares to mess around?

Moreover, the local people believe in this very much, as long as they can cure the disease.

Especially for some difficult and miscellaneous illnesses, using unorthodox poison-type treatments, the effects were surprisingly good.

According to Li Meng's introduction, their witchcraft bugs are not just poisonous, but also courage bugs, moonlight bugs, copper skin bugs, bear strength bugs, etc. These can bring huge improvements to cultivators.

Li Chen asked with interest: "What is this courage bug of yours? How to use it?"

Li Meng's eyes lit up. She took out a small bamboo tube from her waist, took out a bug, and said: "When encountering danger, the braver a person is, the greater the power they exert. There are also moonlight bugs that can increase cultivation at night, copper skin bugs that can make the skin as hard as iron..."

She introduced them like counting family treasures. Li Chen was more and more surprised as he listened. If these witchcraft bugs could be promoted, it would simply change the cultivation pattern of the entire Tian Ce.

Especially the point that ordinary people can also use them completely breaks the limitation of traditional cultivation on talent.

"Such good things, why don't they go out of the mountains?" Li Chen didn't understand.

Li Meng's small face collapsed immediately: "Witchcraft bugs are living things and need careful maintenance. Those with high talent don't look down on them, those with poor talent can't afford them, and rich people find them troublesome..."

Li Chen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of the car market model of his previous life.

He leaned close to Li Meng and lowered his voice: "Why not open a 'Witchcraft Bug Workshop'? Just like a carriage shop selling carriages, buyers can choose to maintain them themselves, or spend money to hire professionals to maintain them..."

As he explained, Li Meng's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Finally, she couldn't help but clap and cheer: "Little brother is so smart! Why didn't we think of this? Those rich buyers are just more troublesome..."

In her excitement, she unconsciously took Li Chen's arm.

The distance between the two suddenly narrowed, and Li Chen could clearly smell the faint herbal fragrance in her hair. Zhu Zhu saw this clearly from behind, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

As they deepened into the Witchcraft Holy Land, the surrounding cultivators gradually increased.

Most of these witchcraft cultivators wore indigo or dark green costumes, with complex insect patterns embroidered on the lapels and cuffs.

Young female cultivators wore silver head ornaments, and their wrists were full of bells; older ones wore cloaks embroidered with hundred-insect patterns, and various bamboo tubes hung from their waists.

"Dream girl is back!"

"Holy Maiden, who is this handsome young man?"

Along the way, people greeted Li Meng one after another, and Li Meng also responded lively one by one.

But Li Chen keenly noticed that many young male witchcraft cultivators looked at him with hostility, especially when Li Meng affectionately took his arm.

But he wasn't Li Meng's relative, so he didn't have the qualification to point fingers at Li Meng, so he didn't say anything.

There were also some young female witchcraft cultivators who saw Li Chen was so handsome and had a powerful physique, so they all came up to ask where Li Chen was from and whether he was married.

Li Meng suddenly glared at a female cultivator who approached Li Chen and said: "Aya, is your copper skin bug raised well enough for you to come out and shake?"

The female cultivator named Aya stuck out her tongue, but still boldly approached: "Young master, would you like a bracelet?"

Saying that, she was about to take off the silver bracelet on her wrist and indicated that this bracelet was a good match for Li Chen.

Li Meng blocked in front of Li Chen like a little cat protecting food: "Go, go, go! He is an honored guest here to do business, don't scare him!"

After driving away this group of enthusiastic female cultivators, Li Meng turned to Li Chen and said earnestly: "Little brother, don't just accept a girl's bracelet here. That's a token of love. If you accept it, you have to marry her."

Li Chen felt this was really peculiar, looking at the girls here being quite conservative, but he didn't expect them to be such people of temperament.

Zhu Zhu sensed Li Chen's thoughts and thought to herself: The girls are definitely conservative, but you are so handsome, how can a few girls not be proactive?

Seeming to think of something, Li Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Then why don't you give me a bracelet?"

"I..." Li Meng blushed instantly, her fingers unconsciously twisting her clothes, "I didn't wear that kind of bracelet today... wait until I go back..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, finally becoming almost like a mosquito's hum.

Zhu Zhu shook her head straight while watching from the side, thinking that this silly girl was probably already fascinated by the Emperor.

Daoist Yang Ci sighed secretly, this Emperor's flirting means—no wonder the beauties in the rear palace were all devoted to him.

Just in this relaxed atmosphere, a commotion suddenly came from the front.

The crowd automatically separated, and a young man in black Miao clothes walked slowly.

His eyebrows were like knives, and a string of strangely shaped silver bells hung from his waist, emitting a heart-palpitating aura with every step.

"Chi Liu Chuan! Why are you here?" Li Meng's face changed slightly, and she subconsciously let go of Li Chen's arm.

That feeling was like meeting an elder of the clan, feeling a bit embarrassed to be affectionate with Li Chen.

Behind the young man followed an old man with white hair, who looked ordinary, but Li Chen could feel the terrifying power contained in that withered body; this was at least a peak Heavenly Abyss Realm guardian.

Being able to have a guardian proved that this guy's status in the Witchcraft Holy Land was definitely high.

"Dreamer, who is this?" Chi Liu Chuan's voice was as warm as jade, but his eyes stared at Li Chen like a poisonous snake.
