Chapter 160: With Six Extra Trump Cards, a Lethal Strike
Shen Qingli pinched Jiu Ying!
Jiu Ying nearly exploded, its nine swollen bubble heads all sprang up!
Because the spot Shen Qingli pinched was its weak point!
This is even scarier than Jiu Li beating its head—it makes it afraid!
"Woman, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Jiu Ying shrieked in a childish voice, yet it was very willful, lacking Jiu Li's cute softness.
It hurt Shen Qingli's ears, "Don't make noise."
Jiu Ying instinctively covered its nine mouths!
But why?
Why does it have to obey her like this!
But it just can't control itself, wanting to obey...
Is this some pretentious masochistic physique?
It's clearly not this kind of beast!
It is an incredibly ferocious plague beast god!
Now it somehow feels like a rotting octopus fish.
"Where does your inner dark power come from?"
Shen Qingli focused and asked; she sensed this aura, feeling that the stern deity's inner also possessed it.
"Xi Xi~"
"Ga!"
Xi Xi responded by darting out from behind Shen Qingli's neck, hiding from Jiu Li—it hid behind Shen Qingli's back.
And as soon as it appeared...
Jiu Li drooled without surprise, "Xi Xi smells even better now! A Li A Li, can I lick a bite?"
"Ptoo!" Xi Xi spat saliva at Jiu Li!
Jiu Li almost tried to catch it, but Shen Qingli pulled it into her arms.
"Ooh~" Jiu Li chirped, "A Li A Li~"
"Being cute is useless, Xi Xi can't lick."
"But I ask you, why don't you lick Jiu Ying?"
"It's so ugly!" Jiu Li disparaged.
Jiu Ying fumed, "You're short, fat, and lame! I'm the handsomest under heaven!"
"Say that again?" Jiu Li put hands on hips.
Jiu Ying sulked and shut up; it's just that its combat strength is a bit stronger than mine, right?
Wait! Wait until Ninth Grandpa levels up again, then I'll surely regain face.
And while they bickered, Shen Qingli had already discovered that Xi Xi had digested the strand of dark power residing in the stern one? Or rather, purified it?
"Xi Xi, spit out that deity's inner elixir for me to see."
"Hmph." Xi Xi said, and spat it out.
As the inner elixir emerged, Jiu Ying's eighteen eyes all grew greedy.
But it was still being pinched, so it could only salivate...
"What did you purify?" Shen Qingli asked again.
Xi Xi looked confused; obviously it didn't understand anything.
Shen Qingli also thought of Di Jin; Xi Xi was given by him.
"Alright, go back inside, find a place to seclude; I'll take Jiu Li out later, I won't disturb you."
"Waa waa~" Jiu Li feigned crying, what's wrong with just licking a bit?
Shen Qingli ignored it, then set Jiu Ying down, "You're not grown yet; first grow up well in here, then I'll let you out to play later."
"Yay!" Jiu Ying's nine heads all cheered.
But it itself doesn't even know what it's cheering about!
Does it matter whether it goes out or not? Oh, it actually does.
"Can I eat people if I go out?" Jiu Ying asked humbly.
"No!" Shen Qingli emphasized, "You can eat anything, but absolutely not humans!"
Jiu Ying drooped, dejected; what hope is there for a beast that doesn't eat humans?
"Alright, grow up honestly, no causing trouble in here, got it?"
"Oh." Jiu Ying agreed.
But it really can't figure it out!
What gives it the right to obey?
But it just can't say "no" to this woman before it! Why!
Jiu Ying has already withdrawn...
Shen Qingli doesn't know its thoughts, and doesn't have time to worry.
The space is already giving her "feedback" subtitles, making her delighted over and over.
The fact that the Fusang fruit has matured, she knows it, so it's not that surprising.
But the space has expanded a hundredfold! That's quite delightful, otherwise so many huge beasts crammed in here would be crowded.
This is secondary; the key is that the land has grown vast, and its produce has become abundant.
One, the Five Elements Immortal Herb has upgraded, evolving into the Nine Turn Divine Herb, which can be refined into a Soul-Nurturing Pill that has healing effects for any immortal, and a prescription was also included;
Two, an additional patch of Invisibility Grass appeared; its leaves can grant invisibility, effective against any immortal below the Primordial Gods;
Three, a Yin-Yang Pond emerged, growing Yin-Yang Fish; cooking and eating the pair of fish can cure old ailments, effective for all gods, and can also heal divine beasts.
This is a reward in terms of produce!
Next, it's about strength.
After the transformation, the space gained a name—Creation Heavenly Realm.
Thus, the most precious prescription appeared before Shen Qingli's eyes: the Creation Pill.
The main ingredients of the Creation Pill are four: Fusang tree leaves, Nine Turn Divine Herb, Invisibility Grass, and Yin-Yang Twin Fish!
If the main ingredients aren't basic, the pill's effect becomes even more heaven-defying!
Each Creation Pill, when consumed, lets the consumer surge up a major level in combat power, with no side effects, and also strengthens the body.
"My current cultivation, according to the divine realm's ranking, is merely that of an Immortal Apprentice; though my lifespan has reached ten thousand years, I am not immune to aging and have not yet fully transcended vulgarity."
According to the levels that Ah Jin explained to her and her father when they arrived, only after transcending vulgarity does one count as a true immortal, but even then it's merely an Immortal Apprentice; above that are Earth Immortals, then Heavenly Immortals, and finally Gods.
"Then this Creation Pill is indeed not bad." Shen Qingli, although she hasn't yet officially clashed with the gods of the divine realm, also knows that a major realm here still has a huge disparity in strength, basically heaven and earth apart.
The key is that after consuming a Creation Pill, not only does one's cultivation surge for an hour, but it doesn't harm the body—in fact, it even strengthens it! Such a divine pill that boosts combat power and nourishes the body—no wonder it's called the Creation Pill.
"Huh!"
Shen Qingli thought of a new approach!
Why should she only think about eating it herself?
Let her empress mother eat it! With just one pill, wouldn't she be able to walk sideways in the Divine Court?
"Perfect."
Shen Qingli believes this is the correct way to unlock the Creation Pill's potential.
After all, she glanced at the pill and found it quite difficult to refine.
Even though one day outside equals over a hundred years inside the space, she still needs to spend ten full days to refine a single Creation Pill! It will also cost her a thousand years of lifespan.
Therefore, before she advances to the Earth Immortal realm after transcending vulgarity, her ten-thousand-year lifespan would only suffice to refine ten Creation Pills, after which she would grow old and die.
"First, refine one as a backup."
Shen Qingli doesn't understand the Divine Court, and with Ah Jin's identity making her more worried, she decided to first secure a super trump card for herself, just to be safe.
Of course, to match the grade of pill she currently needs to refine.
The Creation Heavenly Realm was also very thoughtful, helping her upgrade the Earthen Cauldron.
Now the Earthen Cauldron has become a Divine Cauldron of Sustaining Earth; it can be large or small, can be freely adjusted according to her needs, and can withstand any tempering by fierce flames, even bombardment by divine thunder!
After all, it is a divine cauldron forged from Sustaining Earth, unique in the world!
And this cauldron...
"It's also something Ah Jin and the Mysterious Envoy requested."
Shen Qingli firmly believes that those Mysterious Envoys of the Azure Cloud Realm have no idea about the cauldron's true origin; only Ah Jin knows.
He really did, long ago, help her plan many things; back then, he was clearly just a young boy.
However, these are merely peripheral bonuses from this space's transformation; what truly enables Shen Qingli to advance herself lies——
