Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Chapter 619 - A Debt of Blood Must be Repaid with Blood

Edited by: Molly

Bai Yanqiu said, “Although my mother was not an alchemist, she was a powerful pharmacist. She studied medicine under her grandfather in the early years. When she heard that there were lingzhi mushrooms and immortal plants made with the bones and flesh of the living dead, as well as flowers, plants, bugs, and beasts that could cure all kinds of strange poisons, she naturally aspired to visit. My mother’s last wish was to go to the Tomb of Youshan and take a look. Now she has lost this opportunity. As her only son, I naturally have to find ways to fulfill her wish.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “You really are a filial son.”

Bai Yanqiu shook his head. “If I truly was a filial son, I wouldn’t have let my mother suffer such a sad fate...”

When Yin Nian saw that he was sad, he quickly said, “Bai Dage, this matter is not your fault. Back then, you were only seven or eight years old. You couldn’t even protect yourself yet, so how could you possibly have been a match for that fox? Furthermore, people say that it’s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, even after ten years, and now they’re suffering.”

Bai Yanqiu stared blankly for a moment, then sighed a little regretfully. “Unfortunately, I only learned a little of my mother’s skills.”

Yan Tianhen said, “I was in such a hurry in the afternoon that I forgot to ask — what happened to the three-tailed fox demon and Boss Shan?”

Bai Yanqiu said lightly, “The three-tailed fox demon was not originally from Ethereal City, so she was simply expelled. As for the one surnamed Shan, he was sentenced to 50 years of imprisonment by City Lord Qin for the crimes of robbing people’s property and driving his wife to suicide. RIght now, he has already been imprisoned.”

Ever since his mother’s death, he had never called that person “father” again.

Yan Tianhen was very satisfied. “How satisfying, but that fox has also done bad things. It’s too light a punishment to just drive her out.”

Bai Yanqiu paused slightly, then gave a light sigh.

Yan Tianhen very perceptively changed the topic and talked about the Tomb of Youshan again. Bai Yanqiu really had made efforts to understand the Tomb of Youshan, and he revealed a lot of information that they didn’t have.

For example, because the Tomb of Youshan was buried underground all year round, it was very dark. When entering, they must bring first something that could illuminate the surroundings. Shark beads were the best for that.

Coincidentally, Yan Tianhen just got a shark bead from the Emperor before he came to Myriad Dao Academy, so this problem was easy to solve.

Another piece of new information was that there were many ghost cultivators and corpse cultivators in the Tomb of Youshan, and they had likely already formed their own underground kingdom. Ten thousand years had passed since the place sank underground, so if there were any Yin Qi or malevolent Qi, it was easy for ghosts and evil things to flourish. These things couldn’t be judged by human standards. Since they were entering someone else’s territory as foreigners, they must be careful and advance slowly.

Nobody who entered the Tomb of Youshan had ever come out intact, so these words were only guesses and inferences. However, to Lin Xuanzhi’s relief, since Bai Yanqiu had already thought about these difficulties, he wouldn’t blame them for tricking him into entering if they met with trouble while inside.

The more dangerous the place, the more they had to rely on trustworthy companions who wouldn’t betray each other and enter together. Only then would they have the greatest chance of survival.

Bai Yanqiu talked about the fun things he encountered in the past while traveling outside. Yin Nian listened to his stories and yearned for such a life. He couldn’t wait to leave this isolated and independent Ethereal City and return to the embrace of the mortal world.

That made sense. The world was incomparably large, and the world of mortals spanned tens of thousands of miles. It would always be an indescribable attraction for people, drawing people in and making them want to become part of that world.

Those who could truly devote themselves to cultivating in Myriad Dao Academy for twenty years were few and far in between.

They drunk and gambled, not dispersing until midnight.

Yin Nian didn’t want to rest in Lin Xuanzhi’s place. After all, he had to keep some distance from Lin Xuanzhi inside the sect so that people wouldn’t easily see through their relationship. Thus, he left with Bai Yanqiu.

After walking through the road where the water was divided, Yin Nian stood on solid ground again. Looking at Bai Yanqiu, he grinned and said, “Bai Shixiong, I didn’t expect you to agree at once. Don’t worry, I will protect you when we enter the Tomb of Youshan.”

Bai Yanqiu saw that his face was slightly red, probably because he drank some exquisite wine just now, so he smiled at Yin Nian and replied, “It’s getting late. Go back and rest early.”

Yin Nian took a deep breath. “If it’s inconvenient for you to prepare the items that Huarong Sword Immortal said you need to bring, I’ll prepare them for you.”

Bai Yanqiu was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect this child to be so attentive, but he had no intention of letting children do things for him, so he responded, “You probably don’t have many contribution points right now, do you? I can prepare those items myself.”

Yin Nian suddenly squatted on the ground. “I want to do something for you, but in the end, I found that you can always handle all your matters.”

Bai Yanqiu saw that he wanted to act childish, so he spoke with a gentle voice, “That’s not necessarily true. if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to recover Immortal Blessing Pavilion so easily.”

When he brought up this matter, Yin Nian became even more melancholy. “Even without me, you still could’ve easily taken Immortal Blessing Pavilion back. You have a title deed and the ownership seal on you. You have both human witnesses and physical evidence, so you can easily get it back anytime.”

“Yin Nian,” Bai Yanqiu called his name until he looked up blankly, then said, “there are many matters in the world that look like they can be easily dealt with in the eyes of bystanders, and in fact, they really aren’t hard to resolve, but some people will place those matters in their hearts and try their best to resolve them, while others will turn a blind eye, so I accept your feelings.”

Yin Nian, “...”

Yin Nian’s heart suddenly started beating faster.

His head was dizzy, and suddenly he felt that he was probably drunk.

Yin Nian crawled up from the ground, swaying, and shook his head. “I, Yin Nian, am a person who will repay both kindness and grudges. You saved my life, so I’m naturally willing to repay your kindness with my life.”

Bai Yanqiu smiled. “Don’t always talk about your life like it’s cheap. This is your most precious thing. You should protect it well.”

Bai Yanqiu saw that it was late, and it was almost time for curfew, so he sent Yin Nian back first before he left the sect alone. It was dark and windy at night, and it was already dark in Immortal Blessing Pavilion.

Many families had turned off the lights, locked the doors, and retired to sleep.

A young man in a teal robe held a string of wooden beads that had been soaked in various spiritual herbs for many years. The beads left a fresh and fragrant medicinal scent. The young man slowly passed through Ethereal City’s main road, heading for the gates.

When he was almost at Ethereal City’s main gate, the youth suddenly took off and left the quiet and sleeping city like a gust of wind while the guards were still dozing off.

Ten miles outside the city, there was a peach blossom forest.

The peach blossoms had always been in full bloom for many years, and their fragrance could float away for miles. Bai Yanqiu was precisely headed towards this peach blossom forest.

He’d just stepped into the peach blossom forest when a flash of sharp light cut towards him.

Bai Yanqiu seemed to be expecting this. He turned around. His fingers moved slightly, and a thread barely visible to the naked eye cut apart those attacks. He then pressed his hand back, and the peach blossoms not far away fell with a rustle, raining down flowers.

A woman whose expression looked a little haggard but whose appearance was very bewitching came out from behind that tree. She glared fiercely at Bai Yanqiu with a cold gaze, “To think that you actually know Daoist techniques.”

Bai Yanqiu said, “Third Madam Hu, that day, my mother saved you here. Today, this place will be your burial ground.”

Third Madam Hu seemed like she’d heard a funny joke. She covered her mouth and laughed for a while before saying, “What, just by yourself? What can you do? Don’t tell me that you think you can fight on equal terms with me just because you learned a few tricks? I am a demon who has already gained human form, and I also have the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox. I want to see — exactly who will be killing whom today!”

Bai Yanqiu also smiled faintly. “Be my guest.”

One person and one fox soon started fighting in the peach blossom forest. Flashes of cold light burst out, and Yin winds howled in rage.

If someone carefully studied the thread in Bai Yanqiu’s hands, they would see that it was the thread used to diagnose a person’s pulse. The material was unknown, but it was extremely sharp, not losing to the edge of a blade at all.

Third Madam Hu seemed to have the upper hand at first, but in reality, she couldn’t touch even a strand of Bai Yanqiu’s hair. Instead, those threads occasionally cut her, cutting many bloody lines on her face.

She didn’t know when it started, but she suddenly felt an indescribable fear. No, this is not normal.

She had already transformed into human form. According to logic, not even Profound Realm Unified Spirit Stage cultivators could be her match.

She noticed that the level of Bai Yanqiu’s Daoist technique was absolutely not higher than her and was even very weak, but the cold reality told her that Bai Yanqiu’s cultivation was definitely not what it seemed.

How can Bai Yanqiu be so powerful? Isn’t he a doctor?

Third Madam Hu started to feel a sense of crisis, and she immediately wanted to use her true Daoist techniques.

She turned into a fox with three tails, and her body grew bigger and bigger. She brewed a fire technique in her mouth and retreated a few steps into the peach forest.

She suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain from her limbs and bones, and she angrily spewed out a mouthful of fire. The flames licked the ground and peach trees on both sides, roaring toward Bai Yanqiu, who was standing ten meters away, as if to tear him to pieces.

Bai Yanqiu didn’t dodge this. He merely moved the wooden beads gently with his right hand while making hand seals with his left. He was also murmuring something.

Immediately after, an icy Qi condensed in front of him, colliding with the fire with a boom. The fire Qi was swallowed up by the ice Qi, leaving nothing behind.

“Impossible!” Third Madam Hu shouted in a shrill voice, but what she didn’t know was that she was already dead.

Bai Yanqiu coldly looked at the fox demon who had been cut into pieces by the Thousand Thread Array he secretly arranged. He stared at the blood that flowed out and said, “Eventually, good and evil will be rewarded accordingly. Third Madam Hu, you can never repay what you owe my mother, nor do I want you to repay it.”

After saying that, he raised his hand and pulled back the demonic core and soul that wanted to escape. He squeezed hard and directly crushed the demonic core into pieces. If others saw this, they would certainly say that he was squandering a precious material. However, Bai Yanqiu was unwilling to allow even a strand of hair from this monster to remain in the world. Immediately afterward, a cluster of flames appeared at his fingertip, resembling an alchemist’s pill fire, which directly burned her soul into ashes.

The soul uttered a shrill, piercing cry, suffering great pain. The residents of the peach blossom forest all ducked into their nests after hearing this, wishing that they could cover their ears and not hear anything.

Bai Yanqiu merely watched it all in silence. Many scenes flashed before his eyes — good ones and also bad ones. He was cold to the extreme, and also cruel to the extreme.

After burning up the soul, Bai Yanqiu collected his pill fire with cold eyes. The fox remains on the ground were also burnt to ashes by him.
