Chapter 379: Are You Capable or Not?

Su Luoxing angrily scolded, while Hong Zun simply ignored him.

Since the Tiger Tribe didn't take the bait, there was nothing more to say, and he immediately turned back to the Buddha Kingdom.

Seeing this, Su Luoxing wanted to pursue, but was then stopped by Jue Ming and the others.

"What are you doing?"

"Sect Master Su, sorry, the Buddha Kingdom is temporarily closed to outsiders."

"Hong Zun, stop right there, you stop for me."

Stopped, Su Luoxing could only shout angrily, while Hong Zun didn't even turn his head, just complaining to Qing Shi.

"Sigh, these ingredients are getting harder and harder to obtain."

"They've all become skilled at it."

Watching Hong Zun gradually disappear at the edge of sight, Su Luoxing gritted his teeth in anger, but Jue Ming and the others remained firm, refusing to let him enter the Buddha Kingdom.

In the end, Su Luoxing could only leave helplessly.

But while on the road, riding the flying boat, Su Luoxing grew angrier the more he thought about it, and finally couldn't help contacting Qi Xiong.

While Qi Xiong was discussing Putuo Temple matters with Wu Shou, Tian Nong, and others, he connected the formation, but before he could speak, Su Luoxing angrily berated him.

"Qi Xiong, are you trying to kill me, is that what you want?"

"You're not enough on your own, and you've teamed up with the Tiger Tribe—do you really want to kill me?"

"I tell you, Qi Xiong, I'm not afraid of you; if you have the ability, kill me—I, Su Luoxing, am not afraid at all."

"Speak up, why aren't you speaking? Are you even listening to me?"

As soon as the formation light curtain appeared, there was a crackling barrage of scolding; seeing it was Su Luoxing, Qi Xiong didn't say a word and immediately cut off the formation.

"Continue."

With a grim expression, he said to Wu Shou and Tian Nong, "This lunatic is becoming utterly unreasonable."

Afterward, Su Luoxing kept trying to contact Qi Xiong, but the latter never showed any sign of responding.

This made Su Luoxing, who was riding the flying boat back to the Luo Xia Sect, so angry that he directly crushed the Formation Disk in his hand.

"You're ignoring me, huh? Fine, Qi Xiong, you wait for me."

Qi Xiong was truly furious; this time coming to Putuo Temple, he not only failed to strike at the Dao Yi Sect, but instead lost all face.

And as the Sect Master of the Luo Xia Sect, losing face meant the entire Luo Xia Sect lost face.

For now, who knows how many people are mocking him behind his back?

And all of this is Qi Xiong's fault—it's him, it's his doing.

On the other side, upon returning to the base, Hong Zun and Qing Shi had just entered the cookhouse when they saw Xu Jie and others gathered together, discussing something with strange expressions.

"This probably won't work, right?"

"They're already spitting bubbles—definitely not going to work."

"Hey, are you capable or not, you little dog?"

Seeing this, the two stepped forward and finally saw among the crowd a male Spirit Frog, emaciated to the point of being unrecognizable, lying there weakly.

He kept spitting white foam from his mouth.

"What's wrong with him?"

Hong Zun asked, and upon hearing, Xu Jie naturally replied.

"He's out of strength."

During this period, several Spirit Frogs have indeed contributed a lot of ingredients, living up to their terrifying reproductive ability.

But as time passed, this problem gradually emerged: the female Spirit Frogs remained vigorous and lively, while the few male Spirit Frogs became increasingly worthless.

Sallow and emaciated, with no vitality in his eyes, today this Spirit Frog, while lying on the female Spirit Frog's back, suddenly fainted and then began to spit white foam.

"So as the saying goes, where there's an exhausted ox, there's no broken field."

Zhao Zhengping couldn't help sighing, but the next second he received a white-eyed glare from Zhao Rou.

"Little trash."

"What did you say?"

"You don't know what I said?"

"Hmph, I won't stoop to your level."

"Alright, just rest properly."

After exchanging a few words, it was obvious Zhao Rou was dissatisfied with Zhao Zhengping in some regard, and then everyone continued to focus their gaze on this male Spirit Frog.

Seeing that it truly looked like it was on its last legs, Hong Zun finally said.

"How about we just cook it?"

"That's all we can do."

"Can Junior Brother Changqing still take it?"

"If possible, then take it."

"Then that's decided."

Since you can't, then that's all we can do; upon hearing this, the male Spirit Frog, who had been lying on the ground with barely any breath, suddenly struggled and said.

"No, I... I can still manage, give me one more chance."

"Still able? You can't even stand up—stop fooling around; rest assured, when the time comes I'll give you a quick end."

No, give me...... give me......

At this moment, the male Spirit Frog burst forth with a strong will to survive, reaching out to Hong Zun and said.

Hearing this, Hong Zun was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"What do you want?"

Give me medicine.

Medicine?

Holy shit, seeing this male spirit frog essence like this, still wanting to fight to the death, everyone felt a surge of admiration.

In the end, Hong Zun still gave it the elixir, and said with an admiring expression.

"I would gladly die for the Dao Yi Sect; you're not bad. From now on you may rest four Shíchén each day."

As for the spirit frog essences here, we indeed need to think of a solution; a few male spirit frog essences seem not quite enough, we need to find a few more.

Besides, spirit frog essences are scarce to begin with, and for a while nobody knows where to find them.

As for the black tigers, though, they're completely a suave bunch.

For the spirit frog essences here, the males aren't up to par, but for the black tigers here, they've regained their former vigor.

The blood tigers and white tigers are already taken, and the black tiger has started to harass the other female tigers.

At this point, saying the black tiger has a multitude of wives and concubines is no problem at all.

Hong Zun is still quite satisfied with its performance.

This stupid thing is not bad; it's getting more and more sensible.

Afterward they stayed another day at Putuo Temple; after dinner that day, everyone decided to set off early the next morning.

Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping and the others had already discussed with Ye Zhangqing; the San Sheng Shi is definitely a place they will go.

After all, they've already taken the treasure sword; going back on their word would be inexcusable.

Moreover, the people of Divine Sword Peak are all honest folks who would drive a nail with one blow; they place great importance on keeping promises.

"Junior brother, we might still need Elder Wang Tieshu in the future; besides, this is a matter between the Shīzūn and her, we're just pulling strings and building bridges."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing still hesitating, Xu Jie spoke up to comfort him.

"Besides, don't listen to others' nonsense; Elder Wang Tieshu is still quite good, back in the day she was a renowned beauty of Dongzhou, and the Shīzūn finding her is also a good match."

When persuasion failed, it turned into coaxing in the end.

Anyway, Ye Zhangqing had never seen Wang Tieshu and didn't know who he was; only Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang and the others beside him, looking at Xu Jie's gaze, gradually became strange.

From a certain perspective, Xu Jie still has filial piety, after all he knows to find a companion for the Shīzūn in her old age, but this filial piety seems scant and has even become somewhat distorted.
