Chapter 58

In Gu Qingshan’s previous life, he had been a spirit wine barista in a spirit food restaurant in the cultivation world.

That had been before World Annihilation Queen, Anna Medici, had fallen to the enemy.

Back then, Gu Qingshan had been a well-known barista, and even the major sects of the cultivation world had had nothing but praise for the spirit wines he’d made.

He had taught a good friend his winemaking ways.

But eventually, this friend had unfortunately fallen in love with a girl with two cultivation types. She’d wanted to use him to earn a lot of Spirit Stones and had treated him as a money tree.

The girl had thought of a way to control this friend and make him earn lots of money.

She had gone into the wilderness and found a spider known as a Venomous Heart and Soul Devouring Demonic Spider.

Once this Demonic Spider had been stuck on your body, you would lose half your capabilities, and if you weren’t obedient, the spider would start to eat at your heart.

This Demonic Spider was born with a Magical Power, so while eating at the heart, it could also slowly eat away at the cultivator’s soul.

This spider would cause pain, both physically and spiritually, so almost nobody had ever been able to endure it. Everyone had caved in and became someone else’s slave.

By the time Gu Qingshan had found out what had happened and wanted to avenge him, his good friend had decided to kill himself.

After that, Gu Qingshan had sworn to the heavens that he would never teach anyone how to be a barista again.

Gu Qingshan snapped himself out of his memories and sighed sadly.

“You know what this is!” Leng Tianxing’s eyes immediately lit up when he observed Gu Qingshan’s reaction.

Gu Qingshan said, “I suppose you were at Golden Core stage before this.”

“That’s right!”

Gu Qingshan continued, “And because you didn’t want to be controlled by someone else, you hid next to General Gongsun and used his formations to limit the Demonic Spider so that you could still keep your own will and live on.”

“That’s exactly it!”

Leng Tianxing suddenly got up, clasped his hands, and bowed very low as he said very sincerely, “If you could help me, I am willing to become your brother of a different surname.”

Leng Tianxing was more than 20 years old, a Golden Core cultivator, and a disciple of the Alkaid Faction.

What sort of person would dare to call himself Leng Tianxing’s brother when Leng Tianxing was such a genius?

Even a fellow Golden Core cultivator wouldn’t dare to do something like that.

That was because it was completely crazy for a twenty-odd-year-old young man to reach Golden Core stage.

Gu Qingshan smiled bitterly and replied, “We’d better go pick something off the Floral List together.”

His ability was too weak, so there was no way he could deal with such a terrifying demon.

Leng Tianxing’s eyes dimmed again.

“Your problem is a very troublesome one. We have to hurry back to the cultivation world.”

“Besides, there’s a reason why I must leave now,” added Gu Qingshan at the end.

Leng Tianxing looked at how both of them were covered with injuries and laughed bitterly as he asked, “You’re in such a hurry?”

Gu Qingshan placed the round metal ball onto the Teleportation Formation and said, “It’s extremely urgent.”

He took a peek at the War God Operating Interface. The mission was still underway.

That meant that Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan were still holding on.

Gu Qingshan peeked at his Soul Power.

“Soul Power: 651/7.”

Most of these points were from the demons that Watercut had killed.

But now, the thing that would help to change the course of history, as well as Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan’s fate, wasn’t Soul Power. The only thing that would help would be the Three Saints.

Gu Qingshan sighed and activated the Teleportation Formation.

Bright beams appeared on the formation and slowly covered both of them.

In a flash, the two of them disappeared from the cave.

At the border city.

A Teleportation Formation that was built in the middle of the city suddenly lit up.

Two figures appeared on the Teleportation Formation.

There was a voice coming from the Teleportation Formation. “Are we going there now?”

“Yes, we’re going there right now.”

The Teleportation Formation lit up once more.

The two figures disappeared.

A middle-aged cultivator standing next to the Teleportation Formation asked, “Who was that just now?”

The other two cultivators watching shook their heads. “That was too fast for us to see who it was.”

“It probably isn’t our target, otherwise, he would definitely have stayed here,” replied one of them softly.

The middle-aged cultivator instructed, “Go check with the cultivator guarding this Teleportation Formation and see what the target destination of that last teleport was.”

Someone ran off to check and came back quickly.

“The target destination is Floral Celestial Nation,” he said.

The middle-aged cultivator’s face relaxed and concluded, “It’s not our target.”

“That’s right. Only people with nothing better to do would go and try their luck in that sort of place,” added one of his men.

The middle-aged cultivator said, “Continue to watch the formation carefully. Our superior has instructed us not to let off anyone who comes through this formation.”

“Yes sir,” replied the few of them standing by the formation.

Gu Qingshan and Leng Tianxing didn’t know that their cautiousness had helped them to avoid getting killed here.

In Floral Celestial Nation.

Outside the main city.

There was a Teleportation Formation in a secluded area.

Gu Qingshan and Leng Tianxing appeared here.

“How many Spirit Stones did you spend?” asked Gu Qingshan.

“No worries; money isn’t a problem,” replied Leng Tianxing.

It cost a lot to use the Teleportation Formation to send them such a long way, and Leng Tianxing had been contributing all the Spirit Stones needed.

“Come along. Let’s go to the Floral List.” Gu Qingshan hopped out of the Teleportation Formation.

Leng Tianxing sighed and said, “We’re going looking like this?”

Gu Qingshan looked at Leng Tianxing, then looked at himself.

The two of them were covered in wounds, and their clothes were all so torn and tattered that they could barely hold onto their bodies.

Leng Tianxing suggested, “Why don’t we get changed and rest for a day?”

Gu Qingshan replied, “I don’t have time for that. I need to hurry along.”

Leng Tianxing asked curiously, “What matter is this, exactly?”

“Let’s go. I’ll tell you another time.”

The two of them ran and quickly left the Teleportation Formation for the main city.

Floral Celestial Nation was different from other places in that every Teleportation Formation set up here was set up in a secluded area very far from the main city.

Nobody knew why and just took it as Floral Fairy’s personal preference.

As Gu Qingshan and Leng Tianxing walked on, more and more people started appearing.

The fields around them were all for growing crops, and many ordinary people lived in this area.

“No matter what happens, don’t do anything. I’ll handle it,” Gu Qingshan instructed him seriously.

“All right.” Leng Tianxing had a lot of questions in his heart, but he nodded anyway.

He had witnessed how Gu Qingshan had gone through many trials earlier, and everything he’d done had turned out to be the right thing to do.

As they walked on, suddenly a pig came running out of nowhere and crashed right into them.

This was just an accident, but this had revealed their weakness.

This pig had chosen an excellent time to knock into them. The two of them were practically flying as they ran, and they were about to hit the ground to propel themselves forward again. So they were right between the time when their initial force was fading, and before they had put in the new force

Before this, Gu Qingshan and Leng Tianxing had been fighting demons and had both been tense and alert. But right now, they were caught completely off guard.

The first thing that came to mind was to use the little Spirit Power they had to kill the pig.

Leng Tianxing was about to pull his jade fan out.

As a cultivator, to him, it was a terrible humiliation to be actually hit by a pig.

But just as his hand moved, Gu Qingshan slapped it away.

Leng Tianxing immediately kept the fan away when he remembered what Gu Qingshan instructed him.

He had to be able to think on his feet in order to be a disciple of the Alkaid Faction.

Gu Qingshan was in mid-air when he spread his arms out and caught the pig in his arms.

This pig was so heavy, it was practically an elephant.

Gu Qingshan had taken a Red Crane Qi Replenishment Pill, so his condition was better than Leng Tianxing’s.

“Ha!”

He gave a low shout, held the pig in his arms, spun around in the air, and landed on the ground.

Both man and pig were safe.

“Let’s go.”

Gu Qingshan didn’t even look back at the pig. He continued dashing forward.

Leng Tianxing had never seen anything like that before. He was stunned for a while before running to catch up with Gu Qingshan.

The two men disappeared into the distance.

The pig stood where it was. After a while, it watched as the two men left, and there was a smile in its eyes.
