With the help of soil from the Upper Realm, Peqi accidentally awakened the Earth-Devouring Sacred Beast bloodline, achieving a comprehensive evolution.
The two words “wild boar” would truly become history, because it now had looks. Though it couldn’t compare to the Purple Lightning Young Tiger’s flashiness or Xiao Longlong’s imposing presence, it was at least much more handsome than before!
However.
Peqi was courting death a bit.
It actually volunteered to let Jun Changxiao punch it once.
Commendable courage!
Dog Leftover also wanted to see how strong his contracted beast had become after evolution. With one punch unleashing fifty percent of his power, he nearly pummeled it back into pig form again.
On the sickbed.
Peqi shed tears while licking its wounds, howling in its heart: “Why is Master so fierce!”
“Baby.”
At this moment, Jun Changxiao walked over, gently placing his right hand on its forehead, smiling: “Able to withstand this seat’s punch and still survive, you’re already quite remarkable!”
This was the first time Peqi had seen its master be so gentle with it, tears immediately flowing uncontrollably.
“After your wounds heal.”
“Go to the medicine field and help Old Wei improve the soil.”
Peqi’s defense had earned Jun Changxiao’s approval.
But that wasn’t important. What was important was that eating soil and squeezing out milk was the most excellent ability!
“Yes!”
Peqi’s gaze became resolute: “Master!”
Jun Changxiao stood up, stopping at the sickroom doorway, his back to it: “On the day this seat reaches the mountain peak, you must accompany me at my side.”
Peqi’s expression suddenly froze, the small universe within its body instantly ignited, then with a bang it tore through the bandages, crying: “Master, I will work hard!”
“Swoosh!”
Jumping down from the sickbed, it flew out.
Medicine field.
Peqi ran back and forth, swallowing patch after patch of soil into its belly, then quickly spitting it out again, each grain of sand containing spiritual energy.
“Sect Master.”
Old Wei, sitting in the small pavilion, took a sip of tea and said: “Your contracted beast is quite diligent, coming to improve the soil before its wounds have even healed.”
Jun Changxiao’s tone was solemn: “Only this way can it become stronger.”
The system was speechless.
Clearly using someone as a laborer, yet insisting on disguising himself as having good intentions.
…
Several days later.
The medicine field below Medicine Peak had been completely renovated. The soil gathering spiritual energy, used for growing medicinal materials, could not only improve growth cycles but also increase spiritual energy intensity—absolutely a blessed land of feng shui!
“Peqi.”
Jun Changxiao pointed toward the pasture where Hunger Grass was planted: “Here, this also needs to be renovated as soon as possible.”
“Yes!”
Peqi immediately began working.
Perhaps because of its awakening and evolution, after working busily for several consecutive days, it not only didn’t feel tired but actually became more energetic the more it worked.
“Wow, Peqi changed appearance?”
“Looks so handsome!”
“I still prefer the chubby Peqi from before!”
Seeing Peqi’s dramatic transformation, sect disciples eagerly discussed it. The latter, hearing them talk about it, proudly walked with a gait that disowned all relatives.
Before, it had been very insecure, shrinking in the medicine field every day. Now with its form changed and strength improved, it had finally regained its dignity.
I!
Peqi!
Have been completely reborn!
That sky can no longer cover my eyes, that earth can no longer bury my…
“Bang!”
Peqi, in the midst of its grand ambitions, was suddenly sent flying. Upon staggering to a landing, it immediately bared its teeth in pain.
After evolution, this guy had developed a temper too!
However, when it saw clearly that what hit it was Xiao Longlong, it quickly shut its mouth, pretending not to have seen anything, then continued walking toward the medicine field.
“Stop.”
Xiao Longlong said indifferently: “You bumped into me, won’t you apologize?”
“…”
Peqi roared in its heart: “You’re the one who bumped into me!”
“No eyes to see with, getting bumped serves you right.” The barefoot Little Demon Fairy standing on the rooftop said indifferently.
Xiao Longlong glared at her, then looked at Peqi, angrily saying: “You think so too?”
“Peqi.”
Little Demon Fairy said: “Don’t be afraid of him!”
“…” Peqi, thinking that it had awakened the Earth-Devouring Sacred Beast bloodline, raised its head and chest proudly: “That’s right!”
“Whoosh!”
Xiao Longlong was instantly engulfed in flames, transforming into its second form. A young boy’s head emerged from within, saying coldly: “I’m going to beat you up.”
“Come on then!”
Peqi was very manly!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Awooo~~~~~”
Under the setting sun, Peqi lay in the medicine field with a bruised and swollen face, occasionally extending its tongue to lick its wounds, tearfully saying: “Master, I’m still too weak!”
…
“Sect Master.”
Old Wei came over: “According to calculations and statistics, the renovated medicine field can speed up medicinal material growth cycles by thirty percent.”
“Excellent, excellent.” Lord Dog Leftover smiled.
The pills in the Pill Refining Pavilion all needed continuous supply of medicinal materials. The medicine field soil could accelerate medicinal material growth—the benefits this brought would definitely be very significant.
“By the way.”
Jun Changxiao waved his hand and retrieved the Jade Pure Mystic Essence, saying: “What do you think of this heavenly treasure?”
Old Wei examined it carefully, exclaiming in surprise: “Such pure energy, its tier has probably reached Divine Grade!”
When it came to such medicinal treasures, he still had quite authoritative judgment.
“This item comes from the Upper Realm.” Jun Changxiao said plainly.
“Upper Realm?” Old Wei’s eyes widened: “Then its tier definitely surpasses Divine Grade!”
“However…”
After examining it carefully again: “It seems not yet fully matured.”
“You can even see that?” Jun Changxiao was astonished.
The Jade Pure Mystic Essence truly hadn’t fully matured yet, otherwise it would have already broken through its seal and been announced on the Planar Battlefield.
Not a big problem.
After all, with the Heavenly Treasure Nurturing Device, as long as sufficient energy was prepared, it could be rapidly matured.
However, for now, the Jade Pure Mystic Essence had no use, so Jun Changxiao hadn’t spent resources to cultivate it, settling it inside first for the original 1.5x acceleration.
“Old Wei, with the increase in sect disciples, the demand for medicinal materials will only grow. Your Medicine Hall must work harder.”
“Mm.”
“Hall Master Li.”
Jun Changxiao said again: “How has Little Mu been recently?”
Li Luoqiu said: “After entering the Ten Complete Spirit Imperial Tower, no intelligence has been sent. She should be in closed-door cultivation.”
“Qingyang and the others have already broken through to Emperor Level. Only Little Mu delayed her cultivation due to being an undercover agent. Hopefully this time she can use Taixuan Sacred Sect’s martial dao resources to break through.”
“Has the Demon Emperor Gate taken any action?”
“Not yet.”
Jun Changxiao shook his head: “The powerful experts who entered the battlefield won’t stay inside long. If the Demon Emperor Gate doesn’t take this opportunity to do something, they won’t have much chance.”
This guy’s current mindset was: only fearing the world wasn’t chaotic enough!
“Sect Master.”
After a moment of silence, Li Luoqiu said: “On the southeastern coast of Shi Province, people have continuously discovered many drift bottles with distress letters inside.”
“Oh?”
Jun Changxiao listened quietly.
This woman received intelligence from all corners of the world every day, but didn’t report everything to him. Since she was taking the initiative to mention it today, there must be something special about it.
Li Luoqiu said: “The distress letters were written by Master Fan, with content stating he’s trapped in East Sea Yu Province, hoping powerful experts from various sects will come to rescue him.”
“Master Fan?”
Jun Changxiao stroked his chin: “Sounds a bit familiar.”
