Chapter 347: Appointment Mystery

Wang Yu grabbed with one hand, and the firelight in front of him turned into a wisp of cyan smoke and dissipated. At the same time, the flying boat under his feet turned into a miniature size and flew into the storage bag at his waist by itself. The white flames on his body rolled again, turning into a ball of white fire and flying in another direction.

For long-distance travel, he still used an ordinary flying boat, but for short-distance flight, he generally used the Fire Evasion Technique driven by the Chiyang Great Art.

As a second-rank evasion technique, the short-distance flight speed and flexibility were far superior to a first-rank flying boat.

However, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he seemed to be due for a second-rank flying artifact; otherwise, if he encountered a strong enemy, he might not even be able to run away.

Wang Yu was pondering in his heart when he had already arrived before the gate of a cave dwelling in the middle part of Mount Tianzhu.

This cave dwelling gate was entirely cyan and oily, emitting a thick, strange fragrance, as if it were made of some rare spiritual wood.

In the open space near the gate, there was also a spiritual medicine garden several mu in size, and several grey-haired spiritual apes as tall as adults were guarding it.

Once they saw Wang Yu land, these spiritual apes issued warning cries, and two of them were holding wooden sticks as thick as bowls, making waving and driving-away motions.

Wang Yu ignored this, just opened his mouth and said something silently into the cave dwelling gate.

"Uncle-Master Li, Wang Yu has come by invitation to pay a visit." A moment later, the voice echoed loudly inside the cave dwelling.

The cave dwelling gate opened, and an old man with snow-white hair and eyebrows walked out from inside, his face full of wrinkles, his eyes dull, as if he were eighty or ninety years old.

"Uncle-Master Li, how did you become like this?" Wang Yu was greatly shocked as soon as he saw the old man in front of him.

"Hehe, you have already reached Foundation Establishment, so why call me Uncle-Master? From now on, just call me Li Li Shixiong. As for my current appearance, it's nothing, just that my lifespan is about to be exhausted." The old man chuckled, but with an indifferent expression.

Lifespan exhausted!

Wang Yu was stunned.

When he last saw this 'Uncle-Master Li', the other party did not look like his lifespan was about to be exhausted; how could it be that in just over ten years, his lifespan was about to be exhausted?

"Li Li Shixiong, you..."

Wang Yu suppressed the doubts in his heart and wanted to ask something more, but was interrupted by 'Uncle-Master Li' with a wave of his hand:

"If you have anything to say, let's talk after entering the cave dwelling; it's not very convenient to talk here."

After saying this, the old man turned and walked into the cave dwelling.

Wang Yu hesitated for a moment, then followed him in.

For some reason, he vaguely felt that the other party was burdened with worries.

Inside the cave dwelling hall, just after the two sat down as host and guest.

Uncle-Master Li took out a crystal-clear token from his bosom and threw it onto the ground in front of him.

"Puff!"

A faint magic array phantom appeared on the hall floor, and the token sank directly into it and disappeared.

The next moment, the whole cave dwelling rumbled loudly, and a layer of white light screen appeared out of thin air in the void near the cave dwelling, covering the entire cave dwelling inside.

This 'Uncle-Master Li' actually activated the most profound prohibition of his cave dwelling.

Not only that, the old man took out a light golden talisman from his body and tore it open.

A burst of golden haze sprayed out from the talisman, flashed and disappeared, but bursts of Sanskrit sounds vaguely came from the surrounding void, but soon became inaudible.

But Wang Yu looked at the void around the two of them and could not help but be moved.

Not to mention the previously activated cave dwelling prohibition, but the golden talisman just now was definitely a second-rank prohibition talisman, and it did not even look like an ordinary quality second-rank talisman.

This 'Uncle-Master Li' said nothing and just consumed such an expensive talisman; what did this mean?

"Next, I want to show you something, but it's best not to let a third person know." Uncle-Master Li said to Wang Yu word by word with a solemn expression.

"Li Li Shixiong, you saying this makes me, your junior brother, a bit scared. Can I choose not to look?" Wang Yu heard this, but smiled bitterly.

"Wang Wang Shidi, rest assured, the things I show you will only be good for you, not bad. And the reason I did this is actually to make a deal with you, Wang Wang Shidi. If you feel it's not appropriate, you can completely refuse." Uncle-Master Li smiled slightly.

"Oh, since Li Li Shixiong has said so, it seems I have no choice but to listen." Wang Yu frowned, then could only reply like this.

"Wang Wang Shidi, come with me." Uncle-Master Li stood up and walked toward a small door at the back of the hall.

Wang Yu raised his eyebrows and followed.

A short while later, he stood in a giant underground cave, and in the center of the cave was a pitch-black giant cage several zhang high.

With Wang Yu's experience as an artifact refiner, he could see at a glance that this iron cage was actually cast from refined iron, and at the top of the iron cage was a mysterious talisman flashing with threads of electric light.

In the iron cage, a snow-white giant python as large as a house was coiled, its whole body covered in cold scales, its head deeply hidden in its huge body.

"This is..."

Wang Yu looked at the giant python in front of him, which was somewhat familiar, and his heart moved.

"Wang Wang Shidi, do you still remember the essence blood of Little White that I obtained from you back then?

More than ten years ago, I injected the essence blood into the body of an unranked demon snake, and as a result, through careful feeding, I soon discovered an incredible thing. And my seclusion for all these years has been to study this matter." Uncle-Master Li looked at the giant python in the cage, as if looking at a peerless treasure, and said slowly.

"What thing? Is this that demon snake injected with essence blood?" Wang Yu felt the late-stage Qi Refinement aura emitted by the white giant python and asked subconsciously.

"Of course not. The first one died more than ten years ago; the one in front of you is just its thirteenth-generation descendant." 'Uncle-Master Li' ignored Wang Yu's first question and instead answered the second question.

"Thirteenth? Wait, didn't you say at the beginning it was an unranked demon snake?" Wang Yu was stunned.

"Not bad, this one was indeed hatched from the thirteenth-generation snake eggs of that original demon snake, and its body also contains the essence blood of Little White." Uncle-Master Li confirmed without hesitation.

"I remember I only gave you a small bottle of Little White's essence blood back then?" Wang Yu was even more suspicious.

"Do you think this old man has studied demon beasts for so many years in vain? This old man naturally has means to extract and restore the essence blood in the demon beast's body. Instead, you guess how long it took for this snake to reach its current realm from birth?" 'Uncle-Master Li' heard this and asked Wang Yu with a strange look on his face.

"An unranked demon snake, to cultivate from unranked to late-stage Qi Refinement, logically it would take at least thirty or forty years. Does this snake have any special talent?" Wang Yu stared at the giant python in the cage and hesitated for a while.

"Hehe, only a year and a half. Not only this one, but even the previous twelve demon snakes also reached the late-stage Qi Refinement realm in the same amount of time." 'Uncle-Master Li' chuckled and gave the answer proudly.

"Impossible? One year, wouldn't this snake not even have passed its infancy?" Wang Yu shook his head repeatedly, looking like he didn't believe it at all.

"Wang Wang Shidi, what is the lifespan of this kind of unranked demon snake?" Uncle-Master Li asked another question.

"The lifespan of a low-rank demon snake is only sixty or seventy years; if it's an unranked demon snake, it has at most thirty or forty years of life." Wang Yu replied quickly. As a true disciple of the Sixiang Sect, he naturally knew these demon beast details like the back of his hand.

"Then you look at this snake, how much lifespan does it have left now?" Uncle-Master Li replied with deep meaning, then formed a seal with one hand and cast a spell at the talisman above the iron cage.

The talisman above the iron cage roared instantly, and a thick arc of electricity shot out from it, hitting the white giant python's body in the iron cage solidly.

A 'hissing' sound of pain came out, and the huge head was suddenly pulled out from the coiled body, and it raised its head and was about to slam into the iron cage.

"Zzzzt!"

The talisman at the top of the iron cage released countless rays of thunder, spreading throughout the iron cage, immediately causing the white giant python to tremble all over, with large patches of charred paste appearing on its body.

The giant white python immediately went limp in pain, unable to move a single bit more.

"Eh?"

Wang Yu used his divine sense to scan the python's aura, but was greatly shocked again. ===== CHAPTER 348 =====
