Chapter 1721: Chapter 1720: Qing Wen’s Choice Regarding the Body

Chapter 1720 Qing Wen’s Choice

Guan Youran was so cowed by Mengyu’s show of might that he shook uncontrollably inside the Bead, babbling, "No, no, I won’t, I won’t lie."

This time he truly yielded. After all, the body he’d tried to seize belonged to this woman’s disciple. And although this woman’s cultivation was only at late-stage Golden Core, her Divine Soul was stronger than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even more crucial was that she also understood methods of Divine Sense Attack.

The Soul Device she’d wielded earlier wasn’t a true Soul Device at all, but a manifestation of her own Divine Sense.

Divine Sense Attack methods—those were techniques that only great witches of Ancient Times could command. Just who was this woman?

But whoever she was, he’d completely crashed this time. All his soul energy had been stripped away, leaving only a single wisp of soul. With a soul like that going to reincarnate, the odds of forming a Spirit Root were almost nil.

Still, it was better than nothing—this woman hadn’t wiped him out on the spot. He had been planning to devour her disciple, after all. Even if he were destroyed, that would be his own doing and wouldn’t leave karmic entanglements.

Qing Wen had already found that chamber pot under the bed, then lifted it and dumped it onto the floor, and out rolled a Bead.

Qing Wen washed the Bead clean in water, then carried it over and offered it to Mengyu. "Master, here!"

Mengyu was satisfied in her heart. This disciple could restrain his greed after getting something and would offer it to her first.

Only—something was off. There was actually still Divine Sense on this thing? The Patriarch’s soul had long since scattered; he shouldn’t have been able to imprint any Divine Sense on it.

Looking closer, she found it was precisely Guan Youran’s Divine Sense. This fellow clearly regarded the item as his personal property. Just as she was about to wipe away the attached Divine Sense, Guan Youran had already withdrawn it.

She stabbed in with her Divine Sense. Inside she indeed found a planting space about a hundred mu in size, with a pool of Spiritual Spring in the very center occupying roughly one mu of ground.

Various kinds of Spiritual Medicine surrounded it, having grown for who knew how many years. Most of the herbs inside were at least a hundred years old; there were even ones over a thousand years, as well as herbs grown from seeds that had fallen on their own, with all kinds of ages represented.

This planting space held even more herbs than the ones in Mengyu’s own space, and the variety was more complete!

However, these herbs were mainly for use after the Golden Core stage and weren’t of much practical use to her right now.

Mengyu thought it over, then said to Qing Wen, "Qing Wen, there are many herbs in here that I can just happen to use, so I was thinking—"

Qing Wen hurriedly said, "Master, this treasure was originally something our ancestor snatched from someone else, and it was later taken as his own by Guan Youran. People say the treasures of the world rest with the virtuous, but in truth they rest with the strong.

If not for Master today, I would have lost both my life and my body, and there’s no way I would have gotten this treasure. So this treasure is something Master took from Guan Youran’s hands; naturally it belongs to Master.

Besides, even if Master gave it to me, I couldn’t keep it safe. Better that Master hold onto it."

Mengyu felt all the more gratified seeing that Qing Wen wasn’t greedy.

He wasn’t wrong either. The treasures of this world are all held by those with virtue. Qing Wen’s ancestor did not have the ability to safeguard this treasure but still took it, and so ended up with body and soul annihilated.

Qing Wen’s abilities are no greater than his ancestor’s. If he took it, it would be misfortune, not blessing.

So she said, "That’s fine as well. I’ll keep it for now. When you grow up and have the ability to protect yourself, I’ll give it to you. The greatest use of this planting space is to grow Spiritual Medicine, and herbs are for Alchemy. As long as this space is in your Master’s hands, all the Pills you need will be covered by me."

Qing Wen of course knew that whenever Master had good things that her disciple could use, she was never stingy. He nodded vigorously. "I know. Master treats me well; all the Pills I use are given by Master."
