Chapter 211 Our mission is difficult

The red-eyed prophet looked dazed. He was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm fine..."

Song Lu asked in surprise: "Where did the green flame go?"

The Red Eyed Prophet replied, "It came into my body. I settled in Tianliu Village because I calculated that a [Supreme Treasure] would be born here. This [Supreme Treasure] was inspired by the spirit and nurtured by heaven and earth. At that time, I couldn't calculate the birth time and form of the [Supreme Treasure], so I kept waiting... Today I found out that the green flame just now was the [Supreme Treasure] I was looking for."

Song Lu asked, "What is the name of the flame?"

The Red-Eyed Prophet said: "It's called [Condensed Spiritual Fire], but because it merged into my body before it grew up, it doesn't have the characteristics of a divine fire yet. It can only be considered a spiritual fire, called [Shocking Spiritual Fire], and it's in the growth stage."

"If it wants to transform into divine fire, it will take an extremely long time. It must absorb the spiritual energy of countless people before it can be transformed into divine fire."

Song Lu asked: "What is spirituality?"

The Red-Eyed Prophet said: "It can be understood as a person's emotions. What the [Shocking Spiritual Fire] needs to absorb is fear, pain, anger and other negative emotions. It sounds a bit weird, but when it becomes strong enough, it will turn into a divine fire. The divine fire has the effect of calming the mind and can make people feel peaceful."

Song Lu asked, "What happened to the old man who fainted?"

The Red Eyed Prophet said: "During the growth stage, the [Spirit Fire] needs to constantly scare others, but the old man's ability to withstand it is relatively weak, and he was directly frightened and fainted. As for the lost soul, it is hiding in the grave. We can use the [Spirit Fire] to attract the other party's residual soul and integrate it into the body. Then he will naturally wake up."

"In addition," the Red Eyed Prophet looked at Luo Mingyue and added, "Originally, the [Spirit Fire] was planning to escape. It approached my fingertips just now just to confuse me. It was about to speed up and fly away when it was about to reach me, but...but the immortal summoned a powerful flame. This flame was too terrifying. The [Spirit Fire] panicked and hid in my body."

Song Lu said: "Will you be in trouble later? I heard that the process of subduing the flame is very dangerous. You need to find a quiet place, otherwise you will be burned to ashes easily."

Hearing this, the Red Eyed Prophet's expression became a little strange. He said, "No, the [Spiritual Fire] has already actively merged with my flesh and blood, so I can know its relevant information..."

The Red-Eyed Prophet could clearly feel that [Shocking Spirit Fire] had a deep fear of the flames used by the immortal, because flames can devour each other. If [Shocking Spirit Fire] was in an ownerless state, it would most likely be absorbed by the terrifying white flame on the fingertips of the immortal. Therefore, it would actively choose to merge with the Red-Eyed Prophet.

"What? It took the initiative?" Song Lu was excited to hear that it was so easy. He looked at Luo Mingyue and asked, "Master, if I find a ball of ownerless spiritual fire next time, can you help me scare it? I also want to contract a spiritual fire."

Luo Mingyue turned around and asked, "Why did you sign this contract?"

Song Lu said: "As the saying goes, water and fire are merciless. I am a turtle and I am not afraid of water. I hope I will not be afraid of fire in the future, so that I can be invulnerable to water and fire. I want to cultivate my turtle shell into the strongest shield in the world..."

Luo Mingyue said: "There is no need to go through so much trouble. If you sign a contract with me, you can share my flame."

Song Lu's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Luo Mingyue said: "You can try it later."

Song Lu said contentedly, "Okay."

Inside the cemetery, the Red-Eyed Prophet became familiar with the fire in his body. He raised his hand, and a faint green flame ignited in his palm. The light of the fire shone on his delicate face, and matched with his scarlet pupils, it added a touch of darkness and coldness.

As the flames burned, a ghost floated out from one of the graves. The ghost mechanically followed the flames step by step and returned to the home of the Red-Eyed Prophet.

As soon as he entered the door, the ghost went into his body.

The Red Eyed Prophet said, "The old man needs some time to recuperate. He will be fine tomorrow morning."

Song Lu nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work tonight... But why are you still not sleeping so late?"

The Red-Eyed Prophet said, "I was sleeping, but suddenly I sensed something unusual in the sky and woke up involuntarily. Then I dressed and came out to see if there was anything I could help with."

Song Lu was surprised and asked, "Can you sense me?"

The Red-eyed Prophet shook his head and said, "I can only sense the Immortal Mingyue because she is my belief and I even have her statue enshrined in my home. Worshiping the statue is not as effective as worshiping the real immortal..."

Luo Mingyue didn't listen to what he said next, but used the remaining time to refine the fasting pill.

It was not until the dawn that Luo Mingyue put away the alchemy furnace and prepared breakfast for the children in Baishan Village.

She put soy milk, walnut oatmeal porridge, steamed egg custard, steamed bread crumbs, steamed pumpkin and bananas in the stone basin one by one, and then used several small pots to fill them with goat milk, porridge, black rice porridge, cornmeal paste and apples.

"Huh?" Xu Yintong was a little surprised, because in the past breakfast was usually porridge, goat milk and the like, but today there were a few more options.

Lan Yueji exclaimed: "Now every time it's time to eat, I'm full of anticipation."

After the children lined up for their meals, they sat in front of the table and prayed as usual.

Seeing that several small pots were empty, Luo Mingyue added new ones.

After adding the water, she walked out of the room and headed to the neighboring mountain to find her second disciple, Murong Shi.

……

Murong Shi hasn't cooked for a long time.

His cultivation progress was very slow, which made him feel a little depressed. However, in addition to cultivation, he still had many things to do, such as cultivating spiritual fields, feeding chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, storing all the ripe crops, etc.

As for the rest of the junior brothers and sisters, they were not idle either. After all, Mingyue Sect had ten mountains, and each mountain had its own characteristics. For example, the rooms in the Reception Peak needed to be cleaned regularly, and the weeds in the sea of ​​flowers also needed to be cleared on time. It was impossible to trouble the master to do these chores.

Ordinary immortal cultivation sects would recruit a large number of menial disciples, but the Mingyue Sect had only ten disciples, of which the eldest senior brother had taken four away for training, leaving only five disciples on the mountain. This made everyone even busier, because except for the mountain where the sect master lived and the Bald Peak, the remaining eight peaks required these five disciples to patrol and take care of them.

Last time, Luo Mingyue announced to her disciples that she was going to "retreat", but she went to Bald Peak and made such a big fuss. This made the disciples begin to doubt whether her cultivation had improved again. Everyone wanted to celebrate, but they understood that Luo Mingyue didn't want to see them, so they didn't take the initiative to go up to her and make themselves unhappy, but continued to live as before.

Today, the first thing Murong Shi did when he got up in the morning was to clean the yard, feed the chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, and clean up their feces to keep the air fresh. Then he harvested a lot of spiritual rice and piled them all in the warehouse.

After finishing all this, he returned to the house and prepared to meditate and practice.

But as soon as he sat down, he heard a knock on the door. "Who?" Murong Shi was puzzled. Since the departure of the eldest brother, the junior brothers and sisters have had less contact with each other. There is basically no communication between them because everyone has different spiritual roots and different cultivation methods. Even if they encounter bottlenecks, they cannot discuss. They only get together to drink and chat at night when they are bored. It is very rare for them to visit each other during the day.

Murong Shi opened the door and was completely stunned, "Master, Master?"

Luo Mingyue smiled at him and asked politely, "Have you had breakfast?"

Murong Shi was so excited that he stuttered. "No, we haven't eaten. We've taken the fasting pills. We're not hungry..."

After hearing his answer, Luo Mingyue took out a jar, handed it to Murong Shi, and said, "These are all filled with Bigu Pills, you can take your time to eat them."

When Murong Shi opened it, he found that the jar was actually full!
He was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. "Master, you are so kind. I thought you would never want to see us again... You used to beat and scold us, but since you secretly raised a pet, you don't even want to talk to us... If I had known this, I would rather be beaten a few more times. But Master, it's very hard to beat people with a whip, which is equivalent to letting me take advantage of you. I suggest you use a stick..."

Luo Mingyue was stunned. She didn't expect that the second disciple would start crying as soon as they met and even said such a weird thing. She said, "Be a real man, be strong..."

Murong Shi's eyes turned red, and he said, "Master, I have prepared the stick."

Luo Mingyue felt very upset. She reached out and patted Murong Shi on the shoulder, saying, "Why would I hit you for no reason?"

Murong Shi said: "Because I deserve to be beaten."

Luo Mingyue said: "Not really, I am the master, I am not that petty."

As the saying goes, "Once a teacher, always a father", parents should always be tolerant and generous to their children and should not be petty. What's more, the crazy things that the vicious female supporting role had done in the past were indeed excessive and no one would like her. However, Luo Mingyue had no feelings for her disciples, so she didn't think about repairing the relationship with them and was even too lazy to pay attention to them. From a certain perspective, she might be irresponsible as a master.

However, when the eldest disciple Mu Lingyan took the other disciples out, Luo Mingyue rescued them and gave each of them a paper puppet to make it easier for the disciples to ask her for help. After all, Luo Mingyue's nature is not bad, she is just a bit lazy. Since she has the title of "Master", she must provide protection for the disciples. The disciples of each sect will always encounter danger when they go out, and some will die. However, the disciples of the masters of various sects usually have one or more life-saving trump cards in their hands, otherwise it would be shameful to tell others that their own disciples were killed when they went out.

Murong Shi said: "Master, I understand you. You are cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You even came all the way here today to give us the Bigu Pills..."

Luo Mingyue said: "It's not a special trip, but a coincidence. I want to ask you if you have ever dealt with the corpses of chickens, ducks, cows and sheep."

Murong Shi said: "Of course I have, I have even made roasted whole lamb for my fellow apprentices before..."

Luo Mingyue said: "That's great. I have some dead bodies of sea beasts here. Can you help me deal with them?"

Murong Shi nodded vigorously, "Leave it to me! Master, do you want steamed, braised, or any other flavor?"

"I don't know. Just cook it as you like. The flesh and blood of this sea beast is very nutritious. Give half of it to me, and share the other half with your brothers and sisters."

Luo Mingyue raised his hand and released all the sea beast corpses in the storage space.

Murong Shi said: "These sea beasts look really weird... Is it because they live in the sea and no one sees them that they look so weird?"

Before, he followed Luo Mingyue to the island of Xuanxingmen and witnessed Luo Mingyue killing everyone. However, at that time, Luo Mingyue was the only one floating in the sky and had a clear view of the scenery below. Murong Shi had only seen some of the sea beasts and only took a closer look at them today.

Luo Mingyue put down a total of eight sea beasts, of which only four filled the entire yard, and the remaining four had to be placed outside the yard. Each sea beast exuded a powerful aura of oppression. Some of the sea beasts were covered with spikes, and each spike had an eye. Those eyes were actually blinking, which was scary just to look at.

Luo Mingyue also noticed these restless eyes, and immediately set fire to the eyes and their spikes, turning them into charcoal, leaving only a mass of snow-white soft flesh inside, which looked tender and plump, and exuded a sweet scent.

Luo Mingyue said: "It doesn't matter what they look like, as long as they are edible."

Murong Shihan smiled and nodded, "Master is right."

Eating the meat of this kind of sea beast will not cause impurities to be produced in the body. Instead, it is beneficial to one's cultivation. This is because they had cultivated during their lifetime, and their flesh and blood themselves contain spiritual power, and can be stored for many days without spoiling.

Luo Mingyue asked: "How long will it take you to cook them?"

Murong Shi said: "If we only make four, today will be enough."

Luo Mingyue said: "Then I will come to see you again in the evening."

Murong Shi nodded, "Okay."

As soon as Luo Mingyue left, Murong Shi immediately went to find his fellow junior brothers and sisters for help.

The eighth sister said, "No wonder I smelled blood just now. Where did you find so many corpses, second brother?"

Murong Shi said: "These are all given by the master. The sea beast has grown too big, and I can't handle it alone, so I need your help to skin it, clean the internal organs, and cut the meat."

The eighth sister was a weak woman who didn't like such bloody scenes. But when she heard that it was the master's request, she squatted down silently and said, "Okay, I can freeze the blood, but I can't cook, so I can only help."

Another disciple asked, "Does Master have such a big appetite? He actually wants to eat eight sea beasts... If I had known that Master likes to eat meat, I should have gone down the mountain to catch some wild game and presented it to Master."

Murong Shi said: "I forgot to say just now, four of them are what Master wanted, and the other four are what Master gave us."

"Give... us? Second Brother, are you sure you heard it right?"

"of course not."

"Master is so kind..."

"What's the big deal?" Murong Shi boasted, "Master smiled at me today, and his voice was very gentle."

"Second Brother, please stop talking. I'm suddenly jealous of you."

Murong Shi said: "Okay, stop chatting. Although I often cook big pot meals, the size of these four sea beasts is too big. Ten pots can't hold them. Today, our task is very difficult..."
