Chapter 631 Didn't see it coming
The two spirit beasts excitedly followed Yang Qing when he asked them to join them on his little excursion.
Ever since they got captured by Feng Xin, their world experienced a seismic shift. They got access to resources they never thought possible, saw powerful spirit beasts that shook them to their core but were still somehow alive which was something they never thought possible either.
They saw terrifying human cultivators that were of the same caliber of terror as Feng Xin, which put them on edge every single day especially Haishi who had an easily intimidated personality. nove-lb-In
But eventually, both of them were able to adapt to the unnerving situations and the drastic shifts in view till they were somehow used to it.
It wasn't all bad for them as they didn't have to risk their lives to improve their strength. Though the training they were put through was extremely demanding, they didn't run the risk of ending up in another spirit beast's stomach if they failed as was the norm in the Green Fog Region.
Haishi and Bolin both seemed to have adapted to their new lives at the Order, swiftly even. But considering how ruthless and dangerous the Green Fog Region was, the speed with which they called the Order home could be understood, especially when both considered their circumstances.
Other than being the only two to have survived the ambush on Feng Xin, they both didn't have much to go back to. They were not overlords of territories that they would feel the pinch of not going back. Haishi was a wimp who liked staying in her lair and the only times she got out was to shadow the green-flowered babirusa when it went to search for spiritual herbs.
Worse was, they were all stronger than Haishi. She was encouraged to hide to her heart's content in the area.
The two didn't see it coming. They thought they would be sharing a meal, trading stories, and laughing as they did the previous day not running and hiding for their lives in an unfamiliar territory.
Despite the shock, they quickly adjusted themselves as they carefully gauged their surroundings. Yang Qing nodded in appreciation when he saw how swiftly they moved and reacted. They clearly earned their reputation as residents of one of the most dangerous forests on the continent. Their mentality, adaptability, and swiftness were admirable as spirit beasts that lived in a region where your life hung on a balance every second of every day.
Yang Qing left his spiritual imprint marking on both of them which was a safety measure in case something unexpected happened. His imprints would protect them whilst also alerting him.
After confirming his imprints were functional Yang Qing left for the locations mentioned by Meifeng.
The first stop was an area a few kilometers north of where he had mercilessly left Bolin and Haishi. Yang Qing spread his palace sense around the area before finding what he sought. He detected an area with rich spiritual energy circulating.
When he arrived at the area, he found a pond made of lightning gypsum that was filled with what looked to be boiling blood as indeed it was.
Yang Qing detected the blood contained the auras of multitudinous spirit beasts. They seemed to have come from spirit beasts of varying strengths but they were all in the core formation realm.
"This looks like the body refining concoction that Grandpa and the rest used to dunk me in when I was small except it wasn't as potent or smelled this nice.." Yang Qing said as he took a big gluttonous whiff as he walked towards the pond.
