: Hurry and Call the Venerable Dragon God
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gui Er felt disdain. He had already seen many things in his experience, including the Reincarnation power of his association’s Bodhisattva. What awesome capabilities could she possibly show?
Qiao Zijiang listened, but she was secretly making preparations. Since this zone was within China, their traps were perfectly set ready to unleash its power.
At that instant, everyone on the bluestone platform set their gazes on Qi Mei.
Qi Mei was in everyone’s line of sight. Not only did she not panic, she seemed to relish in the feeling of being the center of attention, and her face slowly turned red with excitement.
Then, everyone saw her left hand laying flat, palm up. Although her hand was originally empty, a white jade bottle suddenly appeared after a while. Its size was similar to her index finger, and a white light could be faintly see shining through the bottle mouth.
Nobody knew what was going on, except Qiao Zijiang, who had a vague idea. Her expression changed.
Qi Mei smiled towards Zhu Hongying and said,
Sister, now look closely.

As everyone saw her lips move slightly, the jade bottle’s light gained intensity and started to cast its light all around the area.
None of her audience were laymen. They knew almost instinctively that she hadn’t just made a mere lightbulb..
A few moments later, their surroundings were filled with layers of Yin energy. Where the light fell, Yin energy was seemingly being hauled in to the jade bottle, rushing straight to the light source like moths toward fire.
Not long after, all the Yin energy around them had been completely taken over, gushing towards them.
The energy flowed clustered and converged to form a river, gushing towards that singular point. It bore resemblance to many rivers flowing into the sea, and the sea in this respect was the jade bottle in Qi Mei’s hand.
The entire Spirit Valley Mountain had been completely shrouded by layers of gray Yin energy, ebbing, flowing and moving all the time. Sometimes there were raging torrents, and sometimes it was as still as a lake.
The area was always full of Yin energy, to the point it shrouded the daylight. However, thanks to the large amounts of Yin energy that were taken away by that jade bottle, many areas, after dozens of years, once again saw daylight.
Gui Er was astonished as he witnessed the phenomenon. He quickly cast a spell, floated to the sky, and looked down.
As he looked down the enormous Spirit Valley, layers of Yin energy were gushing towards that tiny bottle. When seen from the top, it looked like a whirlpool had formed.
If all the Yin energy was taken away by her, how would the thousands of monster that were captured from many places into the Spirit King Cave survive? If they were to go on a rampage, they might not be able to suppress them all at once, even if the Bodhisattva were forced out of isolation…
Gui Er descended and quickly shouted,
Disciple of Azure Mountain, please keep away your talisman.

Qi Mei heard him but gave no heed, and only continued smiling at Zhu Hongying,
Sister, what do you think of the capabilities of my Azure Mountain?

Zhu Hongying had been a spirit before, so she knew the most of the importance of Yin energy to spirits. How could she not know how amazing this power was?
She held back her anger, and said calmly,
Sister, you have a really great skill, but our Association of Spirit Kings have suppressed countless monsters here. They were all evil spirits that were captured from many places, so I request sister to stop touching the Yin energy here, to prevent them from losing their foundation for survival and causing a ruckus again.

Qi Mei was delighted after hearing this. After she said another few words, the light from the jade bottle was restrained, no longer as intense as before. The gushing Yin energy had also stopped with it.
Zhu Hongying turned around and said a few words to her male attendant, then immediately darted back to the cave. His speed was extremely quick, and he was gone in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Zijiang had heard clearly that she said,
Inform Elder Gui Da, and report to Bodhisattva of this matter.

After displaying the power of her talisman, Qi Mei seemed patient, not hurried or rushing. Instead, she talked to Zhu Hongying casually, chatting about the scenery in Azure Mountain, as if she had really accepted her as a disciple.
Taking this opportunity, Qiao Zijiang and Xie Dong beside him communicated in secret through telepathy…
Qiao Zijiang asked,
Uncle Xie, was Qi Mei’s statement earlier true?

Xie Dong replied,
Only when she said ‘Display the true capabilities of our Azure Mountain’, the others such as ‘Invite Law-enforcer Zhu to the mountains, and cultivate great paths together’, are all fake.

Qiao Zijiang said,
Just as I thought.

Xie Dong wondered,
Sister Zijiang, what is the meaning of this? I absolutely cannot understand what this big little Miss is thinking. According to Captain Ren, she was only ostensibly looking for disciples, and that was why her Brother Gu allowed her to come to the Association of Spirit Kings. She actually came here to request for their Bodhisattva Spirit King’s help to handle some affairs, why did it turn out to be like this? Wouldn’t it be better to just tell us her reason for coming and ask for help sincerely?

Qiao Zijiang smiled, and replied through Telepathy,
There is a type of human belief which loyal people like you, Uncle Xie, can never understand. There is no such thing as ‘asking for help’ in their dictionaries, let alone asking for help humbly…

Xie Dong realized at once.
I see, accepting disciples was only an excuse, she only wanted to boast her talisman. After doing so, the Association of Spirit Kings would know of her ability. When the Bodhisattva Spirit King comes out, she would then propose him to help her, and if he rejects her proposal, she could threaten him using the talisman to destroy their foundation… But she might be too arrogant, since the Bodhisattva Spirit King is a Bodhisattva from the Upper Realm that descended to the mortal world spiritually, could she possibly shock the Bodhisattva Spirit King?

Qiao Zijiang said helplessly,
Sigh, the Azure Mountain’s inside information is deep. Even now we are only seeing a hint of what they’re capable of. Even someone who descended from the Upper Realm may not mean much to them. Her shock towards the Bodhisattva Spirit King’s ability to resurrect the dead was real.

But other than that, enemies with only Pond-level strength would only be equal to a miracle doctor in her eyes. Uncle Xie should have heard of overbearing statements such as ‘if you can’t save him, I’ll kill you’ before, right?

Even ordinary people say things like that, what more a second generation cultivator like her? There’s also the fact that miracle doctor’s won’t have heirs if they’re killed, like Cao Cao 1 I suppose that’s not in consideration for her either. No, she’s not an ordinary person anyway, so maybe she has a different motive… Let me think.

Xie Dong stopped sending telepathic messages after hearing so, and saw Qiao Zijiang frowning.
He thought of the same. There were all sorts of people in a world as large as theirs. From this matter, he finally understood why Captain Ren was being extra careful; this person was really difficult to cater to… After all, one word clearly came to mind, ‘overbearing’.
He was afraid that the situation’s development might far exceed his expectations, and he did not know whether a Cutlery-level contestant like him would be dragged into trouble too.
After a while, he vaguely heard an elderly man’s low-pitch voice coming from the cave entrance.

The Bodhisattva is training in isolation and unable to come out. That person has bad intentions, and will most undoubtedly result bring about negative outcomes. This disaster can only be mitigated by inviting the Venerable Dragon God.

…
Above the sky, a green dragon was pleasantly flying in the clouds, curling and straightening. One word clearly came to mind, ‘relaxing’.
The System said,
Haha, the Truth Department is really generous, and I thought that they would have give us shoddy materials, but I didn’t expect every piece to be top grade. Although most of them are not of the best quality, they’re still pretty rare. My multi-millionaire Host, looks like you guessed wrong this time…

Fang Ning was speechless.
Yes, yes, I was wrong to gauge the heart of a gentleman with one’s own mean measure…

He really got tricked by that idiot this time, so he really had nothing to say.
At that time, a leader with the surname Huang from the Logistics Group of the Truth Department did the reception personally. He apologized to them, saying that they were temporarily unable to produce large-capacity interspatial equipment. There was only some small capacity equipment which was in the hands of the powerhouses, but they did not dare to take the risk of a home delivery, and troubled the Venerable One to come here personally.
This idiot then immediately said,
I can create one myself, you just need to bring me the materials. I currently do not have the time, though. We will talk about it when I do.

He then saw Leader Huang’s surprised and happy expression, and said that he wanted to report the matter first.
Things that happened afterward went smoothly, and the Flying Sword materials that sir System obtained were all top-grade. The System score a lucky hit.
The Logistics Group had something to lose, so they definitely would not skimp on materials.
Fang Ning reminded the System in the meantime,
I tell you, you should just agree, but do not think about the specific remuneration price yet. We’ll discuss it after the Treasure Trading Convention ends and we have a better understanding of the market conditions.

The System,
I know. I actually didn’t tell them how many materials are required to craft it…

Fang Ning was at loss for words, but he indeed did not have to remind him on this at all. When had the System been on the short end of the stick?
While talking, he saw a QQ message from the System Cyber Cafe.
The contact person who sent the message was called
Zhu Hongying
. After thinking for a while, he remembered that very long ago, after Vigilante A had defeated Gui Qi, there was a female ghost leader beside him who also died. She was then resurrected by the Bodhisattva Spirit King, and her name changed to this. At that time, he allowed SSystem to send Vigilante A’s contact method to her.
As he opened the message, he could only see a picture displayed, and in that picture was a hand book.
The hand book read.
Venerable Dragon God, I wish you well. I am Elder Gui Da of the Association of Spirit Kings. This is an emergency which is hard to describe, to say the least. Previously, Bodhisattva went to slay the Insect Demons with the Venerable One, and after subduing the Insect Mother, he was constantly meditating in isolation to accomplish something that will benefit the world. However, fortune is scarce, and calamity abundant. In front of the Spirit King Cave in Spirit Valley Mountain, someone arrived and started to pick a fight. The person is from the Azure Mountain, her ability is extraordinary, but Bodhisattva is training and unable to come out, and we are all powerless before her. If the Venerable One could come here and resolve the matter, the Association of Spirit Kings would not only be grateful, we will also offer a great reward…

Fang Ning asked the System after reading.
Bodhisattva Spirit King is a rare breed, and is righteous too. He’s currently training in isolation and his disciples are being bullied, so what should we do now?

The System replied,
Of course we have to go save him. The Truth Department has granted us permission to enter the Land of Heritage, but I still want him to assist me in farming monsters during the end of the year. Since he does not kill, he would be the perfect farming partner…

Fang Ning was perturbed.
But the enemy is a member from the Azure Mountain, that person named Qi Mei might not be strong, but her Senior Brother is currently the strongest being in the realm. Bodhisattva Spirit King has a great friendship with us, we definitely have to save him, but the risk isn’t minute by any means.
The System,
Host, don’t be so scared, you still don’t know what kind of strength we have for not having to consume Morality during Dragon Transformation. If worse comes to worst I’ll escape to the sea and wait for them to leave.

Fang Ning was speechless,
Turns out that you are much more of a coward than I am… then what are our little brothers going to do? I’m not some sort of hotheaded young protagonist who casually fights the enemy, and then swears to destroy the world when the enemy exacts revenge towards my family.

The System,
… You really are suffering from delusional disorder. Forget about it, I’ll scrap the the Flying Sword and craft the Legendary Interspatial Equipment instead. It’s similar to the space created by the Elite Nightmare Demon, so normal people can also enter it. I will now tell you the secret of that obsidian gate; it can function as the external entrance for the Legendary Interspatial Equipment. By placing it at the outside world, it can absorb vitality, and then channel it into the internal space.

After hearing so, Fang Ning was immediately emboldened. Even if things were to turn bad, they could escort them to safety using the Legendary Interspatial Equipment, and there would be no need to worry afterward.
Fang Ning nodded his head,
Then it’s settled. Besides, with the Truth Department there, the situation probably won’t worsen to that extent. Let’s go there and help Bodhisattva Spirit King make a stand.

Thus, the green dragon turned around and flew south towards the Spirit King Cave.
