Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 288 - 93: Demon Sect Relic, Cloud Bamboo Back Mountain
"Sis, you’re so pretty. Here, have some bamboo fruit."
"Bamboo has fruit?"
"This is Cloud Bamboo Fruit, very sweet!"
"Beautiful lady, this is bacon made by bamboo pigs, have some."
"Beautiful lady? Hahaha, you all have such good taste!"
Liu Su was surrounded by a group of children, laughing heartily towards the sky.
Who would’ve ever thought, someone actually called me a beauty!
Children are truly innocent, willing to speak the truth!
Then she heard Mo Xiaolan beside her also being surrounded by children calling her "Beautiful Sister".
On the other side, Fang Xue and Si Minglan were also surrounded similarly, although the titles varied, Si Minglan was called "Beautiful Auntie".
The people of Cloud Bamboo Mountain are simple and warm-hearted, the children even more innocent and cute. They’re not afraid of strangers, eagerly coming over to play with them.
However, these children aren’t like the mountain wildlings growing up in the Northern Wilderness; they understand manners, like children raised in the prosperous areas of Eastern Cultivator or West Imperial.
Some even wear clothes styled in Eastern Cultivator fashion, not the shimmering silver style unique to Cloud Bamboo Mountain.
Even Xiaowu, the one leading everyone sightseeing, though simple and pure, understands etiquette; if dressed in Eastern Cultivator-styled dresses, would be a genuine gentle lady.
The difference is, these children’s parents and the older residents of Cloud Bamboo Mountain wear traditional Cloud Bamboo attire, showcasing simplicity without any etiquette habits.
Mo Xiaolan, playing with the children, whispered to Qin Gengyun:
"Someone must have taught these children Eastern Cultivator manners intentionally, what is the aim?"
Si Minglan, beside them, said: "Once taught the outside world’s manners and habits, naturally the hope is they leave here, to live in Eastern Cultivator or West Imperial."
Qin Gengyun frowned slightly: "Cloud Bamboo Mountain is like a paradise, with spiritual energy denser than Eastern Cultivator’s, why send the children away?"
They fell silent for a moment, exchanging glances: "Because of the threat of Spirit Corpse Mountain?"
"Speaking of which, Yunyan, why haven’t we seen your sister Yun Wu?"
Not far away, Liu Su asked Yun Yan, now being a "Beautiful Sister" herself, she naturally wanted to see what kind of beauty the top-ranked Yun Wu really was.
Yun Yan blinked her clear, sparkling eyes: "You can’t see Sister Yun Wu normally, only during the Cloud Bamboo Dance Festival will she come out to perform a dance."
Liu Su asked curiously: "Then where does she live usually?"
Yun Yan shook her head cutely: "I don’t know either."
Liu Su looked at the other children who all shook their heads in unison.
"So mysterious? Forget it, didn’t Mountain Master Yun say tonight is the Cloud Bamboo Dance Festival? So that means we can see what Yun Wu looks like tonight."
Liu Su pursed her lips, actually somewhat unconvinced, not mentioning her previous status as the top figure of Yihong House, Mo Xiaolan, Si Minglan, and Yun Zhen were all ranked beauties, not one inferior!
And the Saintess, with unrivaled beauty, whether Xia Qinglian or Qiu Zhihe, both reach the level of "a beauty causing calamity to the nation."
Why can’t she compare to someone who has never been seen before, Yun Wu?
Liu Su glanced at Xiaowu who was applying medicine to Yun Xing’s buttocks:
"Miss Xiaowu, surely you’ve seen Yun Wu, right? Tell me what she looks like?"
Xiaowu was taken aback, stammering:
"I... I..."
At this moment, Liu Su suddenly froze as if struck by lightning, standing rigidly for a moment before blurting out:
"Impossible!"
Xiaowu jumped in fright, staring blankly at her, Liu Su caught herself, glanced at the distant Niantang with hands behind his back, and grinned at Xiaowu:
"Xiaowu, do you know how to get to the back mountain?"
Xiaowu questioned: "Susu, why do you want to go to the back mountain?"
Liu Su suddenly focused on her: "So, there’s a way to bypass the Desolate Mist to get to the back mountain?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Xiaowu was startled, stammering again: "I... I...."
Seeing her cute and silly demeanor, Liu Su waved her hand: "Never mind, I won’t push you."
Saying this, she ran over to pull Qin Gengyun and others aside, whispering mysteriously:
"Just now, my Mist Spirit Eye detected a surge of ancient spiritual energy!"
"Ancient spiritual energy? Susu, what do you mean?" Fang Xue was puzzled.
Liu Su glared at her: "Silly! Anything emitting ancient spiritual energy must be an Immortal’s Relic!"
Just now, Niantang had sent a message indicating he sensed the Cyan Lotus Sect’s relic in the back mountain of Cloud Bamboo.
But he couldn’t reveal this himself, only Liu Su could.
Since Qiu Zhihe had devised the legend of Immortal’s Relic before, that led Qin Gengyun to follow her to the Northern Wilderness.
Therefore, it couldn’t be directly mentioned as Cyan Lotus Sect’s relic, but must be referred to as Immortal’s Relic.
Once inside the relic, they could then express surprise discovering it was actually a Demon Sect relic, then Niantang could "incidentally" find the Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill for Qin Gengyun to take.
This would help him eradicate Pill Poison.
Then, "incidentally", discover some cultivation techniques and pill formulas beneficial for Qin Gengyun’s cultivation and Alchemy Dao.
This plan would then be complete.
By the way, "incidentally" uncover the Celestial Beast Record Nine-tailed Fox Scroll, which could be given to Si Minglan to cultivate, saving her life, and transforming the Fox Spirit into a true fox.
So now Liu Su needs to perform an act, as for how the Immortal’s Relic is discovered, naturally it could be ascribed to her Mist Spirit Eye!
As expected, upon hearing this, no one doubted, Qin Gengyun quickly asked: "Susu, are you saying the Immortal’s Relic is here at Cloud Bamboo Mountain?"
Si Minglan also looked to Liu Su, her lifespan was limited, and she was unwilling to cultivate the evil technique of Earth Mole Scroll; if an Immortal’s Relic truly existed, perhaps it contains techniques to save her life.
Liu Su nodded: "It should be correct, but the back mountain is full of Desolate Mist, we can’t get in."
Such mist is extremely dense and compressed spiritual energy, inhaling even a bit is enough to blast apart a late-period Qi Cultivator.
The vast stretch of desolate mist across the mountain, even if a group of Nascent Soul Cultivators were invited to absorb it all, they’d end up exploding.
Everyone exchanged glances and were at a loss.
This is the treasure mountain before them, yet no door to enter.
Just then, the cloud bamboo leaves in the sky shook violently, making a rapid rustling sound.
Xiaowu’s face changed: "Someone has intruded into the mountain!"
...
At the mountain top of Cloud Bamboo Mountain, surrounded by bamboo forest like white clouds, below is a courtyard made entirely of bamboo.
In the spacious bamboo chamber, Yun Chen is pouring tea for Yun Zhen, who anxiously said:
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Li sent me to warn you, Spirit Corpse Mountain might already know about Yun Wu’s secret, their next target should be Cloud Bamboo Mountain! You need to prepare early!"
Yun Chen remained calm, pouring tea for Yun Zhen with a smile: "This is bamboo leaf tea harvested just this spring, you haven’t had it for years, right?"
Yun Zhen had no mind for tea, anxiously said: "Uncle Chen, you’re a first-layer Golden Core, but Spirit Corpse Mountain also has Golden Core cultivators, how can you alone hold them off? What happens to Xiaowu and the others if Spirit Corpse Mountain really comes?"
Yun Chen lightly sipped his tea, gently put down the cup, calmly said:
"Spirit Corpse Mountain has already arrived."
