The next morning, we took a bus to the national forest park of Qing Qiu Country. Then, we continued in the direction of Qing Qiu Country.
It had been a few months since I left Qing Qiu Country.
That time, I was looking for the Seven Star Mugwort and sent Yaoyao back to Qing Qiu Country. Yaoyao had almost become a sacrificial offering.
Fortunately, Yaoyao had become a Monster King, so she wouldn't be used as a sacrificial offering to the Fox King. She had also become the real Saintess of Qing Qiu Country. I wondered how she was doing in Qing Qiu Country.
I had to meet her this time. If necessary, I would need her to help me.
After all, the Fox King's statue was broken. It was hard to say if my identity as the God's Messenger was still useful.
As soon as we reached the peak of Green Dragon Mountain, an old man appeared in front of us and blocked our way.
However, he seemed to recognize me. He hurried to greet me. "God's Messenger, why are you here?"
Hearing that, I understood. The old man was also a Monster Fox of Qing Qiu Country. However, I had never seen him before. He was sent to patrol the periphery, so he didn't have a high position in the Clan.
I told him that I was here to discuss something with their Clan Leader. He nodded and said that he would go and report to the Clan Leader.
I was in a hurry this time. I didn't know how long it would take for him to come and go.
Thinking about it, I waved my hand and gestured for him to lead the way.
He didn't hesitate. After nodding, he led us forward.
We followed him for a long time. It was the same mountain road that we had walked the last time. It wasn't as difficult to walk as before.
He led us into a valley. At the end of the valley, a familiar scene appeared in front of us.
The flowers and trees here were beautifully cut, and the surrounding houses were well-proportioned. It was Qing Qiu Country.
We continued to walk forward until we reached another valley. It was where the Fox King Palace was located.
The old man took us to the stairs of the Fox King Palace and excused himself.
I continued to walk forward with the sacrificial evil spirit. Following the stairs, I walked into the Fox King Palace.
The young ladies on both sides of the stairs seemed to recognize me as they bowed in unison in a respectful manner just like before.
When I was about to reach the gate of the palace, a man wearing a black robe walked out.
I recognized his attire at first glance. He was none other than the High Priest of the Green Hill Clan that I had met last time.
Seeing me approach, the black-robed High Priest hurriedly came forward and bowed in greeting. "I didn't know that God's Envoy was coming. Please forgive me for not going out to greet you."
I waved my hand and told him that it was fine. I then asked if the chief was in the hall as I had important matters to discuss with her.
The High Priest nodded in response before stepping aside to let me in.
As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the Patriarch sitting on the throne with his eyes closed.
Perhaps she sensed my arrival, she slowly opened her eyes, stood up and said to me, "May I know why the God's envoy has come here?"
Her words and actions didn't seem to welcome me, which made me a little unhappy.
Although I didn't expect her to be as respectful to me as the High Priest, I didn't expect her to be so cold to me.
In any case, I'm the Divine Emissary of the Green Hill Clan. Don't you have the basic respect?
Could it be that she was still brooding over what happened last time?
I didn't reply but stood on the spot and stared at her.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the hall was rather awkward.
The High Priest seemed to have sensed the strange atmosphere and hurriedly tried to smooth things over. She invited me to take a seat and instructed the servants to serve tea.
I smirked coldly as I stood on the spot without any movement.
Seeing that, the High Priest remained silent for a moment before walking to the front of the Fox Clan's leader and whispering something into her ear.
The Qing Qiu Clan's leader, who was initially unwilling to budge, frowned after hearing the High Priest's words. However, she didn't continue to argue with me and shifted her gaze.
After the High Priest returned to my side, the Qing Qiu Clan's leader finally lowered her stance and bowed to me.
Seeing that she had backed down, I didn't have any reason to be arrogant anymore. After nodding slightly, I sat down with the evil sacrificial spirit.
Due to the previous incident, there was no movement in the hall for a while after I sat down.
After I took a sip of tea, the Qing Qiu Clan's leader asked, "May I know why the God's envoy has come?"
I had originally wanted to resolve the matter regarding the Monster Pellet as soon as possible. However, judging from the previous situation, the Qing Qiu Clan's leader might not agree to it.
Thus, I changed my statement and said that I had come to visit Yaoyao on behalf of her parents.
When the Qing Qiu Clan's leader heard me mention Yaoyao, her expression changed slightly. She seemed to have something to say, but she held it back.
I frowned. Why did she have such an expression? Could it be that something had happened in the Qing Qiu Clan in the past few months?
I asked, but I swallowed the words that were on the tip of my tongue.
Judging from her attitude, she might not tell me the truth. I should wait until I see Yaoyao and ask her personally.
With that thought, I urged the Qing Qiu Clan's leader to inform Yaoyao. The Qing Qiu Clan's leader didn't beat around the bush and immediately ordered someone to invite Yaoyao over.
After a while, I sensed Yaoyao's aura before she appeared. I was delighted at first, but immediately frowned.
It wasn't that something had happened to Yaoyao, but that her current aura was a little too strong.
If it wasn't for the fact that I had interacted with Yaoyao for a period of time and were very familiar with each other, I wouldn't have dared to confirm that such a strong aura was being emitted from her.
I couldn't even determine her current cultivation realm. Could it be that her power had already surpassed mine?
While the others weren't paying attention, I asked the sacrificial evil spirit in a low voice. He told me that Yaoyao had already reached the middle stage of the Yang God Realm.
After hearing this news, even though I was prepared, I couldn't help but be shocked.
When I had first met Yaoyao, she only had Shi Yao's cultivation realm.
After spending some time in the fatty's Monster Refining Gourd, she had only reached the peak of Shi Yao when she came out.
After arriving in Qing Qiu Country, she had smoothly advanced to the Heavenly Master rank.
This speed was unimaginably fast. I didn't expect that in just a few months, she had advanced from the Seal Heavenly Master rank to the middle stage of the Yang God Heavenly Master rank.
This cultivation speed was really unbelievable.
However, after thinking about it, she was originally from the most noble Tushan Clan in the Qing Qiu Clan. The cultivation talent of the Monster Clan was directly related to their bloodline.
Moreover, when Yaoyao had advanced to the Heavenly Master rank, she had obtained the Fox King's true blood. She had also experienced the training in the Monster Refining Gourd, so her cultivation speed was much faster than others. It was reasonable that she had her current cultivation.
While I was thinking, Yaoyao had already jogged into the main hall with a smile. She looked at me in surprise.
When the Qing Qiu High Priest saw Yaoyao enter, he quickly got up and bowed to her, greeting her as a Saintess.
However, the Clan Leader, who was sitting on the high seat, didn't move at all. He looked at her coldly, and a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
Seeing her expression, I was almost certain that something had happened in Qing Qiu Country during the time I had been away. Yaoyao and the Clan Leader had participated in it.
Yaoyao waved at the High Priest, indicating that there was no need for formalities. She ignored the Fox Monster Clan Leader.
Instead, she walked to my side and pulled my arm. She whispered, "Big Brother Zhou, you're finally here. Yaoyao misses you very much."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on my face, and I reached out to touch her head.
It seemed that after Yaoyao's bloodline had awakened, she was much more cheerful than before.
For a moment, the main hall became a place for me and Yaoyao to exchange pleasantries.
The Clan Leader couldn't stand it anymore, so he coughed a few times on his seat.
This movement interrupted Yaoyao's words, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she pulled my hand and walked out of the main hall, saying that she wanted to bring me around Qing Qiu Country.
Before leaving, I intentionally took a glance at the Clan Leader of Qing Qiu Country. At that moment, she didn't hide the gloominess on her face.
We left the Fox King Palace and walked towards a small path.
Along the way, Yaoyao introduced the scenery of Qing Qiu Country to me, and also talked about what she had seen and heard during this period of time.
As she talked, she even asked about the fatty's situation, and complained about why he didn't come with me.
Speaking of the fatty, I sighed and told her the purpose of my visit.
After hearing that, Yaoyao's expression changed. After staying silent for a moment, she said to me with sadness, "Why is it like this?
The Monster Pill … I heard the High Priest mention it before. It's said that it's the treasure of the Monster race. I'm afraid that they won't give it away easily. "
This was naturally within my expectations. The Monster race's cultivation speed was slow. Unless they had a good bloodline and had a fortuitous encounter, it would be difficult to advance to the Yang God Celestial Master realm.
Even if they could advance, their lifespan wouldn't be long.
Hence, the existence of the Monster Pill was extremely rare. It was reasonable that it was treated as a treasure.
However, I had to obtain the Monster Pill this time. It was related to the fatty's safety, so I didn't have a choice.
I asked Yaoyao how to get the Monster Pill.
She shook her head. "I don't know, but Big Brother Zhou, don't worry too much. I'll ask the High Priest. He might have a way."
I nodded. At that moment, I could only ask the High Priest for information.
As for the Clan Leader of Qing Qiu Country, it was obvious that she wouldn't provide any help.
Speaking of the Clan Leader of Qing Qiu Country, I couldn't help but recall her expression earlier. Hence, I asked Yaoyao what was going on.
Yaoyao sighed when she heard me mention the problem. Then, she explained the reason to me.
Not long after I left, Yaoyao's power started to increase by leaps and bounds.
When the Qing Qiu Country's people heard the news, they treated her as the person who revitalized the Monster race, as the true Saintess of the Qing Qiu Country.
However, as her cultivation slowly approached the Yang God Celestial Master realm, there was a voice in Qing Qiu Country.
Some people started to discuss and suggested that after Yaoyao advanced to the Yang God Celestial Master realm, they would recommend her as the new Clan Leader of Qing Qiu Country. After all, she was the only one who obtained the Fox King's blood. She would definitely lead Qing Qiu Country back to its peak.
At first, these words were only discussed among a small portion of the Qing Qiu Country's people. However, after Yaoyao advanced to the Yang God Celestial Master realm, the voices became louder and louder. In the end, it reached the Fox Clan Leader's ears.
