Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world
Chapter 12 Encountering the Demonic Pig
In the boundless night, Lu Lingxi Yao moved gracefully among the layered mountains, her figure appearing and disappearing in the thin mist.
After some searching, she finally discovered a hidden cave. The entrance was covered by dense vines and strange flowers, making it almost impossible to detect unless one was looking carefully.
As she stepped into the cave, a rich and pure spiritual energy rushed towards her, and she nodded in satisfaction: It was a good place for cultivation.
Her gaze fell tenderly on Huan Yue, who was still asleep in her arms, and her fingertips gently touched Huan Yue's body. "Huan Yue, please protect me until I complete my cultivation."
After saying that, she put Huan Yue down and found a place to sit cross-legged. As her body settled down, her breathing gradually became long and deep, as if she had merged with the surrounding world.
She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. After a moment, an imperceptible power slowly emanated from her body. Under her guidance, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn together by invisible threads.
These spiritual energies, which originally roamed freely between heaven and earth, formless and shapeless, now seemed to have been given life, revolving and intertwining around her in an orderly and harmonious way.
Each of her breaths was like a precise command, guiding the spiritual energy to flow along a specific trajectory, entering her body and nourishing every inch of her skin and every meridian.
During this process, her face became increasingly peaceful, and her body, nourished by spiritual energy, emitted a faint glow.
She methodically absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, connecting herself closely with this world, achieving a profound state of inner and outer harmony, and unity between humanity and nature.
At the same time, at the deep and narrow cave entrance, the figure of the Gale Wolf quietly condensed, slowly solidifying at the edge of the thin moonlight. With a subtle yet powerful fluctuation of aura, it transformed back into its original form.
Its eyes were sharp and deep, seeing through everything around it. Its limbs were bent, and it lay gently and silently on the ground.
The oppressive aura emanating from its body was as heavy as a mountain, or as oppressive as the calm before a storm, making the spirit beasts dare not approach easily.
An hour passed quietly, and just then, Huan Yue suddenly stood up.
Immediately afterwards, a deep and powerful roar burst forth from Huan Yue's mouth, echoing in the empty cave, carrying an indescribable warning.
At this moment, Lu Lingxi Yao was immersed in a soft and mysterious light. Her figure seemed to be gently surrounded by an invisible mist, and every inch of her skin radiated a faint spiritual light. It was the purest spiritual energy in the world that she was continuously absorbing into her body.
The spiritual energy that surged into her body seemed to be guided by an invisible force, gradually flowing through her meridians and finally converging at her dantian.
There, a warm and powerful force is quietly brewing, the key to the transformation of spiritual energy into spiritual power.
This process is subtle and complex, requiring absolute focus and stability. Any external interference will lead to the failure of all previous efforts, or even cause serious consequences.
Lu Lingxi Yao was well aware of the implications of this situation, so her mind was focused to an unprecedented degree, and she seemed to ignore all the noises and disturbances in the outside world.
She believed in Huan Yue's abilities; no matter what happened outside the cave, Huan Yue could handle it properly.
A faint but rapid rustling sound quietly arose around the cave entrance. As the sound gradually approached the cave entrance, Huan Yue let out a deafening wolf howl.
The wolf's howl was filled with an inviolable majesty and fury, so powerful that the surrounding air trembled slightly.
An invisible pressure surged forth from Huan Yue's body, carrying an irresistible sense of oppression, directly approaching the five-star high-level demonic boar hidden in the shadows.
The demonic boar, used to running rampant and domineering, felt a flicker of despair in its eyes as it sensed the fear emanating from the depths of its bloodline.
Knowing it was no match for the moon, it instantly chose to escape, its hooves whistling through the air, attempting to find a glimmer of hope amidst the moon's fury.
However, how could Illusion Moon let it escape so easily? With a swift movement, it was like a silver lightning bolt slicing through the night sky, instantly shortening the distance between itself and the demonic boar.
Before the demonic boar could react, Illusion Moon opened its mouth full of sharp tusks and accurately bit the boar's neck, leaving only the boar's pig-like screams, shrill and desperate, echoing in the silent night.
The boar's blood gushed out from its neck like blooming red lotuses. Its body gradually lost strength under the powerful bite of the Illusion Moon. After its limbs twitched a few times, it stopped moving.
With a deft yet powerful swiftness, Huan Yue's forepaws pierced through the boar's tough hide, penetrating deep into its chest where the source of power—the beast core—which had ceased to pulsate, was emitting a faint glow.
Without the slightest hesitation, it took out the beast core containing immense spiritual power and life force, then put it directly into its mouth and swallowed it.
Thinking that eating the demonic pig's meat could increase its spiritual power, it planned to bring it back to its master. So, it carried the demonic pig's corpse back to the cave entrance, put the corpse down, and then lay back down in the same spot, curling its body into a ball.
As the last wisp of spiritual energy merged into the vast and boundless spiritual sea, she slowly opened her eyes, exhaled a long, slightly impure breath, and at the same time, clearly felt the leap in her own strength. Spiritual Master Three-Star, she was very satisfied.
The Moon Phantom, which was originally guarding the cave entrance, couldn't wait to transform into a little husky the moment it sensed that Lu Lingxi had finished her cultivation.
It wagged its short tail and trotted over to Lu Lingxi Yao with almost leaping steps. Its big, round eyes, like those of a star, sparkled with innocent light as it stared intently at Lu Lingxi Yao's face. Then, it stretched out its two pink front paws and gently placed them on Lu Lingxi Yao's knees, looking incredibly cute.
When Lu Lingxi saw Huan Yue covered in blood, her heart clenched, and she asked softly but urgently.
"Huan Yue, are you alright? There's so much blood..."
"Master, don't worry, this blood isn't from wolves."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi's tense nerves gradually relaxed.
Then, she parted her lips slightly, silently chanted an incantation, and with a light twirl of her fingertips, a faint mist of water vapor filled the air, gradually condensing into a crystal-clear water sphere, which, under her control, slowly approached Huan Yue.
The moment the water sphere touched Huan Yue's body, it transformed into countless delicate water droplets, gently enveloping it and washing away the remaining bloodstains.
After cleaning, Lu Lingxi Yao gently raised her hand again, this time mobilizing the light and free wind-elemental spiritual power within her body.
With a thought, a gentle breeze emerged from her palm, swirling lightly around Huan Yue.
The wind not only carried away the water droplets, but also, in an almost magical way, gently blew on Huan Yue's soft fur until each strand regained its original fluffiness and luster.
Just then, an untimely yet unusually clear sound broke the surrounding tranquility—Lu Lingxi's stomach suddenly rumbled loudly, the sound particularly loud in the open environment. With a touch of embarrassment and shyness, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she bit her lower lip, trying to cover up this sudden embarrassment with a smile.
Huan Yue pointed to the demonic boar's corpse and said, "Master, that demonic boar's meat contains an extraordinary source of spiritual energy. Eating it can help you improve your cultivation; it's a great thing for increasing your spiritual power!"
Then, she gathered a few dry, flammable branches and built a fire inside the cave.
Then, she skillfully picked up the sharp dagger and deftly gutted the monster boar's carcass, cleaning out its internal organs, and then repeatedly rinsed it clean with clear mountain spring water.
Finally, she carefully cut the demon pig's meat into evenly sized pieces, took out several thin wooden skewers that had been sharpened beforehand from her Kunlun Ring, and skillfully skewered the pieces of meat one by one.
Once everything was ready, she steadily placed the prepared iron rack over the fire. It was the same grill she had carefully prepared beforehand, and now it finally came in handy.
She placed the meat skewers on the iron rack, and soon, the skewers gradually turned an enticing golden color under the licking of the flames. The oil dripped into the fire, making a sizzling sound, accompanied by a mouthwatering aroma of meat.
Huan Yue, who was sitting quietly to the side, stared intently at the constantly turning meat skewers, her saliva unconsciously sliding down the corners of her mouth.
Seeing Huan Yue's drooling expression, Lu Lingxi Yao's lips curled into a gentle smile.
She took out a small bag of refined salt from her Kunlun Ring and carefully sprinkled it on each skewer of meat. The glistening salt grains were instantly absorbed by the aroma of the meat, adding even more flavor.
Next, she took out the special cumin powder and sprinkled it gently. The unique aroma intertwined with the meaty fragrance, making it an absolute delicacy.
As the meat skewers were grilled more evenly over the flames, the aroma became increasingly rich, making Huan Yue's mouth water. Lu Lingxi Yao took several carefully grilled meat skewers and brought them to Huan Yue.
"Eat up!"
Smelling the fragrant roasted meat, Huan Yue began to eat heartily without any hesitation.
As you chew, the succulent juices burst in your mouth, gently touching your taste buds and instantly activating all the wonderful imaginations you have about food.
"My goodness, this is so delicious!"
This was the first time it had ever tasted such delicious meat. Looking back, the prey that barely filled its stomach was nothing compared to this roasted meat.
It silently wondered to itself, "Why didn't it meet its owner sooner?"
But then I thought, it's not too late to meet now, hehe--
Night had fallen, and all was quiet. The man and the beast, having eaten and drunk their fill, finally got up and started to walk back.
Because of the Illusionary Moon, the spirit beasts that should have been active at night, either out of instinct or because they sensed the intimidating power of the Illusionary Moon's bloodline, all automatically retreated, making way for a wide and unobstructed road.
Suddenly, Huan Yue, who was walking ahead, stopped. Her eyes gleamed in the darkness as she stared intently at something not far ahead.
Then, a sudden burst of rapid footsteps shattered the surrounding tranquility, the sound coming from afar like a surging tide.
Upon seeing this, Lu Lingxi Yao immediately bent down and gently picked up Huan Yue, her movements swift and agile.
Immediately afterward, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and darted out like a ghost, rushing towards the nearest ancient tree. Using the moonlight, she skillfully climbed the trunk until she found a hidden and stable branch, where she slowly stopped and held Huan Yue tightly in her arms. The two of them clung to each other, holding their breath in anticipation.
The group of people quietly approached a giant tree. In the dim light, their shadows were stretched long, and their faces were blurred. Only their low breathing and the soft rustling of fallen leaves under their feet could be heard.
"Brother, have you noticed that the Illusion Moon Forest seems unusually tranquil today?"
Lin Wanwan's voice, like a clear spring in the night, crisp yet tinged with a hint of caution, broke the surrounding tranquility.
She is the beloved granddaughter of the Lin family in Guiyun City. Although she is still young, she has already shown extraordinary courage and keen observation skills.
Lin Wanwan's words echoed in everyone's ears, and a strange feeling welled up in everyone's heart.
Yes, even deep within the Illusion Moon Forest, renowned for its abundance of spirit beasts, one would usually encounter nocturnal spirit beasts or hear a distant, indistinct roar. But tonight, all of that seems to have vanished, leaving only endless tranquility and a barely perceptible sense of oppression.
"Indeed, the spirit beasts in this forest seem to have vanished overnight."
In the group, a man dressed in fine clothes, with a handsome face and outstanding demeanor, spoke to the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. He was the leader of the group and the "big brother" that Lin Wanwan mentioned. With his extraordinary martial arts skills, he enjoyed a very high reputation in the group.
As his words fell, the atmosphere in the group became even more tense. Everyone involuntarily looked around, trying to catch any possible movement in the darkness, but apart from the shadow of the tree branch swaying gently in the night wind and the occasional starlight slipping from the treetop, everything seemed to be immersed in a deathly silence.
"Everyone must remain highly vigilant," Lin Chujie's voice was calm and powerful, instilling a sense of reassurance in everyone in the team.
Everyone adjusted their state, tensing their nerves, as if drawn by an invisible force. Their eyes began to scan their surroundings more carefully, and they took each step with great caution, as if setting up a defensive line on an invisible battlefield to guard against a sudden attack by the spirit beast.
In the midst of this tense atmosphere, Lin Wanwan's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the brief silence, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Big brother, if we're lucky enough to encounter a high-level spirit beast, you absolutely must capture it and give me a contract!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chujie smiled gently, his eyes filled with doting and indulgence. "Alright, if we encounter it, I will do my best to subdue it and make it your contracted beast."
Lu Lingxi clung tightly to the rough branches of the ancient tree, her body trembling slightly at the sudden, familiar male voice. Her heart felt as if it had been struck by a boulder, and she felt a faint pain.
That voice... Ah... She chuckled softly... So this is the man the original owner loved so deeply.
