Chapter 96: Long Ziyan's Secret

"Eh?"

Just at this moment, Long Xuan suddenly noticed that there was progress at the position beside his feet.

It wasn't the progress of spirit medicine; it was like something was hidden in the soil. The key was that he was very familiar with the numbers of this progress. Wasn't this the progress of that rabbit?

A smile that was hard to detect appeared on the corner of Long Xuan's mouth.

Was this little thing too bold? Actually daring to hide and stay at a position not far under his feet, really thinking that because it was a spirit medicine that could drill into the soil, others wouldn't be able to see it? Truly naive!

Where did its confidence come from?

For this kind of rabbit that was overconfident and bold, he naturally wouldn't let it go. How could he let go of meat delivered to his mouth?

He suddenly, without any warning, bent down and quickly inserted his hand into the soil with the speed of "covering ears to steal a bell."

The speed was fast to the extreme.

When he pulled his hand out of the soil again, he actually pulled out a white thing.

This white thing was fluffy, and its four short legs were kicking in the air, making "coo coo" screams of surprise.

Long Xuan laughed loudly, *I'll let you show off? Still showing off or not? Daring to play with a big knife in front of me, Guan Gong? Fallen into my hands, right? *

Long Xuan was extremely triumphant and threw it into the insect breeding bag: "You get in there!"

Long Xuan was extremely excited. He didn't expect an unexpected harvest. He had originally thought that the spirit medicine that had become a spirit could drill into the soil and was hard to catch, so he had already planned to give up. He didn't expect that it would take the bait itself and deliver itself to his door. If he didn't accept it with a smile, it would truly be unreasonable.

This was a spirit medicine that had already become a spirit. Its preciousness could be known even if you thought with your butt; that was absolutely a good thing worth a fortune.

The thing with the greatest value in this medicine garden had already been obtained by him. He was already satisfied. Even if the tomb-securing treasure didn't belong to him, he wouldn't have made this trip in vain.

After copying the rabbit's home, he wasn't finished yet. Long Xuan actually confiscated all the treasures it had traded for and put them all into his storage bag.

One had to know that the rabbit's eye for goods was very picky. Every treasure made him beam with joy, and the smile couldn't be collected no matter what.

Not to mention anything else, just the pile of high-grade spirit medicine sent by Miao Dongdong was enough to make him excited for a long time.

The spirit medicine the rabbit picked away were all the rarest spirit medicines, all rare varieties that weren't in his medicine garden.

Things are valued because they are rare. These spirit medicines weren't ordinary fourth-grade materials outside; they were all sky-high prices worth a fortune on the market.

It just so happened that these spirit medicines had been dug out not long ago, and it was highly possible to plant them alive if they were transplanted into top-grade spirit soil. These two hundred rare spirit medicines were enough to enrich his medicine garden.

After copying the rabbit's home, he found the clone's insect breeding bag and storage bag again, and Long Xuan also dug a little spirit soil for Long Qilin by the way, before rushing out of the medicine garden.

He had spent a bit too much time in the medicine garden, and he didn't know if the remaining time was enough to conquer the sleeping hall.

At this time, in a certain cave, twenty-plus Gu cultivators with lightning symbols on their clothes surrounded a girl wearing a veil, and there were three or five corpses wearing the same clothes on the ground.

Although the number was dozens to one, the expressions of the group of Lei clan Gu cultivators were cautious to the extreme, and some people's eyes even carried a look of fear, not daring to step forward easily.

It seemed that the advantage in numbers couldn't give them confidence.

If it weren't for the fact that their own Ancestor's clone was behind them, they would have long since scattered.

It was just that their own Ancestor's clone wasn't this girl's opponent either, so they could only keep consuming this girl with wheel battles. One carelessness and they would become one of the corpses under their feet.

"Hehe! Worthy of being the Nine Yin Intercepting Body. It is said that this special constitution can release the most terrifying cold air in this world, and the power of learning ice-attribute abilities is enough to increase by more than ten times. Rumor has it that the combat power of the Nine Yin Intercepting Body is not inferior to the Ten Extremes Body. Seeing it today, it is indeed well-deserved."

"If it weren't for the Ancestor coming in person, my Lei clan's few people really wouldn't be enough to look at in front of you."

The Lei clan's Ancestor looked at this girl in front of him with a smile and touched the beard on his chin, but suddenly discovered that this young body had no beard, so he awkwardly put his hand down.

Long Ziyan was still in the style of being sparing with words. After looking at this person, she didn't say a word and focused all her attention on the battle in front of her.

"Grandfather, doing this is not good, right? Using this method, although you can get her person, you can't get her heart, and it will even make her hate me!"

A youth on the side looked at her with loving eyes and said somewhat hesitantly.

The Lei clan's Ancestor turned his head and looked at this youth with a look of "hating iron for not becoming steel" and said: "Silly boy, you really think you can chase her with your own ability?"

"Although Lei Guang is dead and you are now the Lei clan's first genius, your talent is several streets behind hers."

"She not only has the Nine Yin Intercepting Body, but also the Nine-Rank Long clan bloodline, and the Heavenly Sword Bone, and is also a single-attribute Heavenly Grade talent. Which one can you compare with? You have been left behind by her, do you know?" The Lei clan's Ancestor hit him mercilessly.

"Moreover, even if you had talent comparable to hers, had the most handsome face in the world, and had top-tier background, she still wouldn't marry you."

"Forget it! I'll tell you a secret, so you can give up."

The Lei clan's Ancestor looked at Long Ziyan and, seeing that she couldn't break free in a short time, continued to say to the youth beside him: "Her mother was also the Long clan's first genius back then, named Long Hongyu. Coincidentally, she was also the owner of the Nine Yin Intercepting Body, her cultivation speed was a thousand miles a day, and her combat power was invincible at the same level."

"She was also the Long clan's first beauty at that time. Long Ao, that waste who had a very low cultivation level at that time, didn't know what flowery words he used to win her heart, so the two officially became dual-cultivation partners one day."

"But a powerful constitution must have limitations. The more powerful the power, the greater the defects. All things are like this, and the powerful Nine Yin Intercepting Body is no exception."

"While the Nine Yin Intercepting Body brings powerful combat power to its owner, it also has a defect that is hard for people to endure, and that is a short lifespan."

"The lifespan of people with the Nine Yin Intercepting Body is far less than half of normal people."

"Therefore, it is very difficult for this type of person to harvest true love. When she gradually ages and becomes an old woman, her partner is just in his prime. How can there still be love between the two? Tragedy is an inevitable result."

"During her pregnancy after becoming dual-cultivation partners with Long Ao, Long Hongyu wasted a large amount of cultivation time. One had to know that in an era of thin spiritual power, the cultivation time of the Nine Yin Intercepting Body was already very tight, and this time was very precious to an owner of the Nine Yin Intercepting Body."

"After this, she discovered that she was gradually aging, and wrinkles began to appear on her face, and the title of the clan's first beauty was gone."

"In this situation, the man who accompanied her also changed his heart without any accident and turned to find another woman."

"So Long Hongyu became a crazy woman. She no longer believed in love and hated all men in the world, and she kept instilling the idea that all men in the world were not good things into her daughter."

"In that situation, her heart demon was already deeply rooted, and it was impossible to break through to Gu King no matter what."

"Not being able to break through to Gu King meant not being able to increase a large amount of lifespan, which was a very fatal thing for an owner of the Nine Yin Intercepting Body."

"Therefore, she had to frequently enter the Ten Thousand Mountains to find spirit medicine that could prolong her life, but if you walk by the river often, how can your shoes not get wet? She finally left an incurable heavy injury after returning one day."

"Before she died, she called her daughter to the bedside, personally squeezed the first Gu worm her daughter refined—the Love Gu—to death, and exhorted her again not to believe the flowery words of any man in the world. The Nine Yin Intercepting Body has a short lifespan; in this era of thin spiritual power, you must use all your time on cultivation and don't talk about love. The Nine Yin Intercepting Body can never possess love..."

"After saying these words, she broke her breath while holding Long Ziyan's hand, leaving Long Ziyan crying and screaming on the side. From then on, she also hated Long Ao to the bone and no longer associated with him."

"Do you think you have any ability to make her break her mother's dying words?"

"So she will never marry in her life; no one can win her heart! Do you understand?" The Lei clan's Ancestor looked at Lei Yiming deeply.

Lei Yiming was shocked. He didn't expect the Long clan to have such a secret; it was truly a bloody story.

He knitted his brows. Although this Long Ao was truly not a good thing, he suddenly thought that if Long Ziyan became an old woman not long after marrying him, could he accept it? He was silent...

The Lei clan's Ancestor patted his shoulder and sighed: "I know what you are thinking, no matter. Anyway, you can't have only her as a wife."

"Doing extraordinary things can only use extraordinary means. I don't want to do this either, but if you want to marry her, there is no other way except to make the raw rice cooked."

"Your love for her has reached the point of obsession, and you are absent-minded all day long. I am worried that you will leave a heart demon if you don't fulfill your dream, which is greatly unfavorable for cultivation."

"Moreover, Long Ao is now a third-grade alchemy master. If we can forcibly climb this marriage, it will also have great benefits for our clan."

"At that time, whatever pill you want, just ask your father-in-law for it. He is worried that his daughter won't have a good life in her husband's family, so even if he is angry in his heart, he won't refuse your request," the Lei clan's Ancestor revealed a sinister smile.

Lei Yiming's brows relaxed, and he also revealed a slight smile. Under the persuasion of the Lei clan's Ancestor, he finally let go of his knot. Although the forcibly twisted melon wasn't sweet, it was at least thirst-quenching; it was always better than never being able to touch it.

Perhaps the conversation between the two had a great impact on Long Ziyan, making her eyes finally no longer calm and waveless. Distracted, her back accidentally took a sword, and blood permeated her clothes.

Lei Yiming revealed a look of heartache and hurriedly shouted to the crowd: "You all be careful, try not to hurt her skin."

"Try to consume her spiritual power. Although the Nine Yin Intercepting Body can be immune to ten thousand poisons, aphrodisiacs are not poisons; she can't be immune, and she won't be able to hold on for long!"

Hearing this, the group of Lei clan Gu cultivators were extremely angry in their hearts. He spoke lightly. He wanted to make the raw rice cooked, and in a while, all the benefits would be his.

They still had to be restrained when fighting and couldn't attack the skin. How could they fight? Holding back against the enemy during battle was cruelty to oneself; that was a thing that was very easy to lose one's life.

If everyone used their full strength to fight, plus having the Ancestor assisting on the side, they really wouldn't be fighting so hard, and they wouldn't keep dying.

It was also when everyone was holding back a few points of strength that another Lei clan Gu cultivator fell into a pool of blood.

They were fighting with restrained strength and didn't dare to attack the skin, but Long Ziyan was using her full strength. The yin-cold air that was cold to the extreme was domineering to the extreme. Whoever was accidentally injured wouldn't even have a chance for serious injury; they would be directly frozen in the heart pulse and would definitely die.
