146 A desire to become beautiful

Having conveyed what he wanted to do, Bai Long who had decided to take down the strongest Elders first asked Meirong about the first ranked Elder. 

"The first ranked Elder? That's a tough question."

Thinking for a few second Meirong began telling Bai Long everything she knew about Yang Xia. 

"Yang Xia is not only the strongest elder right now but also the one who has been here for the longest time after the Matriarch."

"I heard that she has spent almost 300 years inside the Sect, and had long since entered the Qi Monarch Realm becoming the first-ever elder to do so."

"I've met her only two times until now, but given her appearance I can tell that she was definitely an uggo before she started cultivating."

Speaking till here Meirong saw the subtle smile on Bai Long's face and the sceptical look in Linxin's eyes. 

"Be honest with me, you're just jealous of her being so strong right?"

Coldly harrumphing and not even giving a reply since she chose to not dignify Linxin's questions, and explained her reason to Bai Long. 

"I'm not saying this out of envy or any such similar emotion. It really is true that she was ugly before she began cultivating."

"Okay. Let's assume for a second that you aren't lying, so what's your reason behind considering her as an ugly woman?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"You already know how a woman's beauty is related to the Yin energy inside her, right?"

Not even waiting for an answer or reply of any kind, Meirong continued by saying, "For someone who has cultivated using the techniques of the Yin Plundering Sect and entered the Qi Monarch Realm, you can guess how much Yin energy she has absorbed right?"

"If I had absorbed so much Yin energy, I would be looking ten times more beautiful than I do right now. But that Yang Xia, she still looks like one of those women you pass on the street and never remember having seen her."

Placing the Demon's Curse didn't allow Bai Long to listen to every single one of Meirong's thoughts, but he could sense her true emotions at any given time. 

And right now Meirong was feeling indignant and discontent, which was most likely due to him not trusting her even when she was speaking the truth. 

Nodding his head, Bai Long smiled and said, "I believe you, Meirong."

"Really?"

Not waiting for an answer, Meirong puffed her voluptuous breasts in pride and deliberately looked towards Linxin who only looked away in response. 

Asking Meirong a few more questions, Bai Long finally ordered her to invite Yang Xia here so that he could curse her. 

Once all of this was done, Bai Long began thinking about the Matriarch who seemed more mysterious than ever. 

It had been almost a thousand years since the Yin Plundering Sect, and the other major forces had been set up inside the Xiao Dao Continent. 

In all this time however Bai Long had never heard of anyone from then still being in existence, other than the Yin Plundering Sect's Matriarch who according to what Meirong said had remained the same since the time she had established this Sect. 

But, for someone to exist so long needed a monstrous cultivation base. And someone with such a high cultivation would obviously not stay inside this small Xiao Dao Continent without some particular reason which was forcing her to stay here.

So what was it that kept this mysterious woman tied to the Xiao Dao Continent? 

Was she hiding from her enemies? 

Was she truly strong, or just using some method to extend her lifespan when in fact she was just a little stronger than the others on the Xiao Dao Continent? 

If she was hiding here, why establish such a Sect which would do nothing but obtain the attention of her enemies if they arrived on the Continent? 

Shaking his head to not think too much, Bai Long decided to take one step at once and not bite more than he could chew. 

Standing up since he needed to get ready to receive the Sect's strongest elder, Bai Long went brought out a specially made item from the Ring of Darkness. 

In simple terms, the item Bai Long had created using the ring was a beaker which had a special lid on it. 

Using the item was pretty straightforward. All Bai Long needed to do was pour whichever liquid he needed inside it and then place it on heat. 

Once he did that, the beaker would release a thick mist of whatever liquid he had poured inside the beaker.

It was true that such a stupid item didn't really have many, if not any uses to the regular people.

But to Bai Long who discovered something very unique about himself recently, the availability of such an item was nothing more than a huge pie falling from the skies.

...

"Why should I come with you? Is it the Matriarch's order?"

"Not really. I just... "

"No thanks."

Just as Yang Xia was about to shut the door close on Meirong's face, Linxin who went along with her suddenly said, "We want your help in understanding one of the techniques, and in exchange we'll give you all of the Yin Slaves we obtained this month."

Not closing the door because no matter how strong she was, she still needed Yin Slaves to grow stronger and having more Yin Slaves was always better, Yang Xia who looked exactly like Meirong described her asked Meirong, "Is she speaking the truth? Also, who is she? I don't think I've ever seen her until here."

"She's speaking the truth. I need your help in understanding one of the Sect's Techniques."

"The fourth-ranked Elder needs my help? But, I just don't know if I'm in the mood to help you."

Despite acting like she wasn't interested, deep down Yang Xia had already decided to do whatever it was that Meirong wanted from her and take all of her Yin Slaves in return.

Maybe they would help her become beautiful like she always wanted to.
