Chapter 40 Getting Ready

The Squad Leader Lang Wu looked glumly at Fang Yue, who was trying hard to stand on tiptoe, and said.

"Well, that being the case, go and tell Lord Ni about the situation, and then you can prepare to leave the village. When you're ready, just have someone let me know."

"It's a pity that Ink Village is not peaceful, and I don't have anyone available. Otherwise, I would never let Captain Ye go out alone."

"In addition, this trip of Captain Ye can also be considered as doing things for Ink Village, and I won't treat you unfairly. This wine is called Langtao Jiu (Surging Waves Wine). One mouthful is equivalent to half a month of cultivation for an ordinary martial artist. I'll give this whole bottle to Captain Ye, and I hope Captain Ye returns in triumph!"

As he spoke, Squad Leader Lang Wu handed Fang Yue the cyan wine gourd that he had prepared long ago.

Fang Yue shook the wine gourd, which was full of wine, and immediately grinned.

"Alright, alright, alright! I will definitely eliminate the [Gui Zhi] (knowledge ghost) for Ink Village and return a bright tomorrow to Ink Village!"

The slogan was loud, and the things were collected quickly.

After seeing Doctor An and Squad Leader Lang Wu in succession, and getting good things from both of them, Fang Yue couldn't help but wonder.

Should I... wander around the village again to see if anyone else will give this hero some supplies?

However, only these few people know about the matter of eliminating the [Gui Zhi], so I'm afraid no one will give me anything else.

Being a hero behind the scenes is lonely.

He went to Ni Dongmei and told her, and she frowned.

"I gave you the prescription for the Fei Bai Dan (Flying White Pill), and this is what you concocted? The original effect lasted for a month, but now it's only three days. Doctor An of Ink Village is nothing more than this."

Fang Yue rolled his eyes inwardly. You people from big sects just like to nitpick.

I'm on Doctor An's side this time.

This is a small place with no resources and no technology. It's already good enough to make a finished product following the prescription. You still want high quality? Do you think everyone is a sect's alchemy expert?

"Alright, as long as there's no problem with the Fei Bai Dan, hurry up and solve the problem of the Yang Xu Gui (Phantom Goat Ghost). Remember to notify me with the meatball afterward, and notify me with the meatball if you encounter any tails."

Fang Yue responded, and then stood there in silence.

"What are you doing standing here? Aren't you going out to do business?"

Damn it! Everyone else gives benefits, but why don't you give anything? Stingy!

Seeing that Ni Dongmei really didn't give a single hair, Fang Yue left dejectedly.

Theoretically, it's almost dusk today, and night is approaching. Even if you want to go out to find the whereabouts of the [Gui Zhi], it's best to leave the village tomorrow morning.

But for Fang Yue, the night is the best time to go out!

Night Breathing, forever a god!

After Fang Yue left, the inn where Ni Dongmei was staying became quiet.

The inn, which was already occupied by her alone, was now silent.

She returned to her room and took out a small black turtle.

The turtle shell was covered with dense curse seals, and the turtle's limbs were burning with dark flames.

The turtle was alive, small, and crawling on the table, but it could leave black flame marks.

But the turtle crawled very slowly, as if every step required great effort.

Under Ni Dongmei's gaze, the black turtle finally took the last step and fell on the table. With a whoosh, its whole body burst into black flames, burned to ashes, and turned into nothingness.

And on the table it had crawled over, a black flame mark was left, forming words.

"Destroy."

"Heaven led me here, but there is no trace... What exactly is going on?"

"The Sect Leader's divination cannot be wrong. The pillar of fortune of the Extreme Ice Sect is in Ink Village!"

"But where exactly is it hidden?"

"Is it the tail, the wanderer with excellent aptitude that I encountered by chance?"

"Or is it the wanderer Ye Se (Night Color) who attracted the Yang Xu Gui (Phantom Goat Ghost) group?"

"Or is it the Yang Xu Gui [Gui Zhi] (Knowledge Ghost)? Can it lead the Extreme Ice Sect to prosperity? If that's the case, I'll personally go there after the wanderer Ye Se dies."

"There's also the depletion of the ancient formation in Ink Village, the Doctor An who once killed the sect's elders, the spread of the Phoenix Organization's claws, the infiltration of the merchant group, and the gathering of the [Ju Shou Xue Quan] (Giant Head Blood Hound)... Too many things have happened in Ink Village during this period. Which one is the pillar of fortune of the Extreme Ice Sect... It's a headache."

If she hadn't come with a mission, Ni Dongmei would have been much freer in her actions. She would never be as constrained as she is now, not daring to mess around with any side, and could only bet on all sides and wait for the cause and effect to appear.

"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. The sect's last Celestial Turtle only left such a word... Alas..."

Ni Dongmei felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Her strength was outstanding, but in the face of the power of heaven and earth, it was not worth mentioning.

"The sect has treated me well. Even if I exhaust the power of this clone, I must see the location of the pillar of fortune from the dust and fragments! Only in this way can I truly fulfill my mission and be worthy of the sect's trust in me!"

Ni Dongmei's eyes gradually became firm.

Clones are not without cost.

Most people don't like to cultivate martial arts techniques that create clones, because clones will disperse the main body's power. The death of a clone will cause irreversible and serious damage to the main body, and may even lead to a drop in cultivation level.

No one likes to have an extra burden, but when encountering dangerous things, apart from using human lives to pile up, only clones are the most suitable.

It's better for the clone to die than for the main body to die.

A drop in cultivation level is just a drop. As long as the resources and aptitude are still there, you can always cultivate back.

"It won't be long. Judging from the divination, it's within these days that the pillar of fortune will appear!"

……

Lang Residence.

"Brother Ye, what, what, what's your relationship with that Miss Ni Dongmei?!"

Niu Niu didn't know where he heard the news from. He rushed over in a hurry and questioned Fang Yue head-on, frantically sending messages face to face.

"What relationship? It's probably that she's having her several-hundredth birthday, and I have to give her a gift."

Niu Niu was shocked.

"What?! Your progress has already... Wait! Several-hundredth birthday?"

He was very shocked by the first two sentences, but he suddenly reacted to the last one.

"You, you, you mean that Miss Ni Dongmei is eternally young..."

"Yes."

Niu Niu was overjoyed: "Isn't that great! A legal loli!"

Fang Yue: ???

Damn! Bro, your fetishes are really weird!

"She looks like a girl at most, right? It's not related to loli."

"Brother Ye, you don't understand this. In the long run, she's hundreds of years old, with a teenage appearance. Isn't that a legal loli!"

Damn! Are you a logical master?

Fang Yue rolled his eyes: "I don't care if you want to chase girls, but I kindly remind you that if you continue to pester that one, either you'll be able to live off her for the rest of your life, or you can prepare to reincarnate."

Niu Niu: ???

"Reincarnate? Is it that serious?"

"She's hundreds of years old, what do you think?"
