Urban Martial Saint

Everyone looked excitedly at Ning Qianshu. Now that a beyond the pinnacle master was about to emerge, it was practically rewriting history. Everyone wanted to know what exactly was going on.

”When you gave him the Rebirth Pill, did you give him anything else?” Bai Li Xi asked, clearly interested in the matter.

”No!” Ning Qianshu replied, ”I only gave him the Rebirth Pill, nothing else.”

”So did you do anything to him?” Bai Li Xi asked.

”Of course, I controlled the drug effect in his meridians.” Ning Qianshu said impatiently, ”Senior Brother, using medicine like this, we were both taught by our Master. Do you think I have any other special techniques? I don’t even know how he ended up like this. If I knew how to make someone a beyond the pinnacle master, why wouldn’t I take it myself instead of giving it to him?”

The crowd agreed, given Ning Qianshu’s personality, if there were such benefits, he certainly wouldn’t let others profit.

”What exactly happened then?” Bai Li Xi looked at Ye Qing in surprise, ”Ye Qing, have you eaten anything special during this time?”

Ye Qing thought carefully. Recently, the most special thing he had eaten was the petal of the Devouring Demon Flower he obtained from the Demon Hideout Cave. The petal of the Devouring Demon Flower also had incredibly magical effects, even far surpassing the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill. Could it be that the petals of the Devouring Demon Flower and the Rebirth Pill’s effects mixed together and caused such a change?

At that thought, Ye Qing suddenly remembered when he had previously given Ding Lianshun some of those Devouring Demon Flowers, Ding Lianshun’s inner strength seemed to increase. At the time, Ye Qing wondered if this Devouring Demon Flower could strengthen the inner strength of peak masters. Now linking to this incident, Ye Qing was almost certain that it must have something to do with the petal of the Devouring Demon Flower!

But how could the Devouring Demon Flower’s petal have such an effect that it could break the human barrier and make someone surpass a peak master?

These questions were certainly beyond Ye Qing’s understanding. He quickly took out a petal of the Devouring Demon Flower from his pocket and said, ”I accidentally found this in the Demon Hideout Cave. It has very unique effects.”

Ye Qing did not directly say it was the Devouring Demon Flower, as this matter was related to the Little White Fox, and Ye Qing certainly didn’t want the Little White Fox’s matter exposed. Too many people covet the Demon Hideout Cave. If they knew about the Little White Fox, they might harm it. Moreover, if the Devouring Demon Flowers in the Demon Hideout Cave could indeed break the pinnacle barrier, it would be earth-shattering news, certainly attracting more people to Beimang Mountain, with many more dying there. Such events would surely lead to bloody conflicts, which Ye Qing did not want to happen.

”What is this?” Bai Li Xi took the petal and examined it but couldn’t understand its components. After all, a petal of the Devouring Demon Flower was as large as several doors, an enormous entity. And Ye Qing had torn those petals into pieces smaller than a fingernail, resembling ordinary leaves. Who would have guessed it was a petal of the Devouring Demon Flower?

”I don’t know either. I discovered it in the Demon Hideout Cave. At that time, Zi Yu and I were trapped inside the Devouring Demon Flower and suddenly heard rustling, and unexpectedly the Devouring Demon Flower opened. Some things scattered outside on the ground. I was starving at the time, so I ate some of it since even grass looked appealing. Unexpectedly, this stuff had such unique effects—it could quickly replenish strength and heal wounds!” Ye Qing fabricated a story effortlessly, as he certainly couldn’t expose the Little White Fox’s situation.

”Rustling sound? Isn’t that the sound of a demon pet?” Everyone exchanged looks. Doctor An had previously mentioned this, and everyone immediately thought of the demon pet.

”It’s definitely a demon pet!” Shen Tianjun nodded and said, ”If it weren’t for a demon pet, the Devouring Demon Flower wouldn’t have opened. It’s said that only demon pets can control the entire Demon Hideout Cave, including the Devouring Demon Flower within it.”

”So, these things were left by a demon pet?” Bai Li Xi looked at the petal in his hand, smelled it carefully, and then suddenly popped the petal into his mouth.

The petal melted upon entering the mouth, turning into a cool liquid that flowed within the body, bringing a very comfortable sensation.

Everyone watched Bai Li Xi eat the petal. He closed his eyes as if he was enjoying it but said nothing, which naturally puzzled everyone.

”Hey, what does it taste like?” Ning Qianshu couldn’t help but ask. Standing the closest, he actually wanted to eat the petal more than Bai Li Xi did.

”No taste.” Bai Li Xi opened his eyes and said, ”Not tasty!”

”Not tasty, yet you’re so engrossed!” Ning Qianshu clearly didn’t believe, turning to Ye Qing with curiosity, ”If these things were left by the demon pet and have amazing effects, that’s not surprising. However, this demon pet is said to have inherited the Great Demon King’s nature, merciless and terrifying. Ye Qing, you heard the demon pet’s sound several times in the Demon Hideout Cave, yet it didn’t kill you and even left these things for you. What’s the deal?”

”I don’t know either.” Ye Qing simply played dumb, as no one had seen him with the Little White Fox, and no one could verify what he said.

”So, if that’s the case, the demon pet inside the Demon Hideout Cave must have encountered some enemies!” Shen Tianjun said gravely, ”I’ve heard that demon pets rarely appear, and anyone who sees one is bound to die. However, last time Ye Qing heard the voice of the demon pet and entered the Demon Hideout Cave. This time, not only did Ye Qing and his group escape from the Devouring Demon Flower, but they also obtained these items. I suspect the demon pet encountered a formidable enemy, leaving it no time to deal with Ye Qing, and even dropped these items.”

”Can the demon pet really have a formidable enemy?” Ding Lianshun remarked, ”It’s unlikely, right? The demon pet controls the entire Demon Hideout Cave, everything inside is under its control. There are at least over ten thousand Devouring Demon Flowers in the cave, if they were to all activate, even a Corpse Ghost Dragon wouldn’t dream of coming out alive. Who could possibly deal with the demon pet inside the Demon Hideout Cave?”

”Who knows about such things!” Shen Tianjun shrugged, ”This is the only explanation we have right now, otherwise, what do you think happened?”

Everyone looked at each other, no one knowing what exactly unfolded inside. Yet, most were still curious about the petals of the Devouring Demon Flower.

”Ye Qing, do you have any of that medicine left?” Ning Qianshu suddenly asked.

”I still have some.” Ye Qing reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful; he actually had a lot in stock, just didn’t carry much on him.

Seeing Ye Qing produce a handful, Bai Li Xi was the first to walk up, grabbing dozens and stuffing them into his mouth.

Ning Qianshu was waiting by the side, surprised by Bai Li Xi’s quick action. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately rushed forward, reaching out to grab his share.

”Don’t be hasty, don’t be hasty!” Shen Tianjun dashed forward, blocking Ning Qianshu, ”Ye Qing, put the items away first. This rare medicine should be used at critical moments; how can it be treated like snacks?”

Only then did Ye Qing snap back to reality, quickly stowing those Devouring Demon Flowers into his pocket. Nearby, Ning Qianshu was immediately displeased, ”Hey, at least give me one piece. Let me taste the medicine’s effects, okay? My brother ate so many, and you won’t give us even one? Isn’t that a bit unreasonable?”

Ning Qianshu asking Ye Qing for something to eat now was without the demeanor of a Peak Master. But at this moment, everyone lacked the mind to care, all curious to try the petals of the Devouring Demon Flower themselves.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Shen Tianjun realized it was impossible not to share the petals among the crowd. Bai Li Xi had nonchalantly taken dozens, stuffing them all into his mouth; retrieving them from him wasn’t feasible. The only option was for Ye Qing to distribute some more.

”Let’s do it this way, one piece per person.” Ye Qing took out a few petals, ”One person at a time, no grabbing.”

”That’s fair!” Ning Qianshu was at the front, ”Give me one first, give me one first.”

Bai Li Xi had already consumed all those dozens, now turning back towards Ye Qing’s remaining Devouring Demon Flowers.

Witnessing the situation, a group of experts quickly rushed forward, halting Bai Li Xi.

”You’re eating more?” Shen Tianjun said with a laugh, ”You’ve already eaten dozens; aren’t you afraid you might eat yourself to death?”

”This thing won’t cause harm, it must be all-natural, far better than your Ziyu Chenxiang Pill.” Bai Li Xi looked pleased, ”I must say, the taste is quite good!”

Upon hearing the taste was excellent, no one could sit still, surrounding him quickly. Fortunately, Ye Qing had prepared in advance, distributing one piece per person, not daring to take many out this time. Knowing Ning Qianshu’s character, he might snatch them by force.

Everyone received a Devouring Demon Flower, quickly stuffed them into their mouths, swallowing them down. Despite Ding Lianshun having already eaten many previously, upon hearing about the potential magical effects of the Devouring Demon Flower, he promptly took another one, swallowing it down.

Once ingested, the Devouring Demon Flower melted instantly, transforming into a refreshing liquid circulating within the body, providing immense comfort. Everyone who consumed the flower naturally felt its magical effects, leaving them in astonishment. No one could have expected such small petals to have such remarkable effects.

”What on earth is this?” After eating the Devouring Demon Flower, Shen Tianjun curiously looked at Bai Li Xi, ”Mr. Bai Li, you’ve been with Doctor An for so long, you must have seen all kinds of herbs. Have you ever seen this type?”

”Never!” Bai Li Xi answered briskly, ”I haven’t even heard of it before. I don’t think my Master has seen it either!”
