The Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant was actually exhausted, because it had been furiously slapping the sea surface the entire time.
In addition, it had exerted too much force and accidentally tore open the wound at the base of its tail that had only just barely healed.
Coupled with its anger, this was why it fainted.
However, it woke up in the blink of an eye.
This time it learned its lesson, it only roared and no longer slapped the sea surface.
As a result, Feng Xi stopped saying anything and simply let it shout on its own.
The Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant felt like it was… a complete idiot.
When it finally stopped shouting, Feng Xi leisurely said, "Alright, don't be angry anymore. What I said just now was indeed a bit excessive.
But I was also angered by you. We also count as neighbors, right?
Distant relatives aren't as good as close neighbors. Is catching a few small fish and shrimp really that excessive?
Even if I didn't catch any, you should still be the one to give me some."
Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant: "..."
How can you be this shameless?!
Feng Xi continued, "Alright, enough with these trivial matters. Let's talk about something serious!
Last time, you helped us drive away the demons. I prepared a small thank-you gift for you. I was originally worried about how to find you, but who would've thought you'd come on your own.
It's nothing particularly good, just some hemostatic and detoxification pills. There are both human and demon versions. I don't know which kind suits you, so I prepared some of each."
After Feng Xi finished speaking, she took out a large gourd from her storage ring and threw it into the sea.
The Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant was stunned!
Hemostatic and detoxification pills?
Does it want them?
Of course it does!
Although there were medicinal herbs in the sea, compared to land, the varieties were far fewer!
Besides, how could herbs compare to the effects of pills?!
But, is this damn brat really this kind-hearted?
They wouldn't be…poison, right?
Feng Xi continued, "I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning. I hope we're fated to meet again next time.
Oh right, if you still want pills, you can use demons to exchange for them.
The higher the cultivation, the more pills you can exchange for!
It's not just you, any sea beast can come to us with demons in exchange for pills.
Dead or alive, both are fine!
And not just hemostatic and detoxification pills, other pills are fine too.
Alright, I've talked for a long time and I'm tired. You may withdraw now!"
Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant: "..."
Its large eyes flickered. Then it had a low-level sea beast retrieve the large gourd for it, after which it dived into the seabed and disappeared.
Elder Duanmu stared in utter shock.
The old man's understanding had suffered a massive impact, humans and sea beasts could actually communicate?
And even… negotiate terms and make deals?
But the facts were right in front of him. If that Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant hadn't been tempted, it wouldn't have ordered its subordinate to retrieve the gourd.
If it really did as Feng Xi said and exchanged captured demons for pills, then the balance between sea beasts and the demon clan would be broken!
The Endless Sea would remain stable for a long time…
Elder Duanmu's shock gradually turned into ecstatic joy!
"Xiao Xi, if this works out, I will definitely petition for merit on your behalf!"
Feng Xi said with a smile, "Elder Duanmu, merit or not doesn't matter. I mainly want to make a bit of contribution for humans."
Hearing this, Elder Duanmu regarded her even more highly. Feng Xi, this child is truly excellent!
No wonder the Sect Master took a fancy to her at first glance, she really was a rare talent!
After chatting with Elder Duanmu for a while, Feng Xi continued letting the little black ball "fish".
At first, the little black ball was extremely nervous, afraid that the Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant would come back for revenge. Later, seeing that there was no movement at all, it finally relaxed.
Feng Xi smugly said, "So? Convinced yet? Do you know what it means to have both wisdom and beauty?
But it's no wonder, you're just a ball of mist. You don't even have a brain, so of course wisdom has nothing to do with you…"
The little black ball held back, then couldn't hold itself back, "Don't think things will go so smoothly! You can set conditions, but the demons can also set conditions. When the time comes, they can just pay some toll and still come over.
Let's see what you'll do then!"
Feng Xi said with a smile, "Do you think I haven't thought of that?
Once my five spiritual roots are complete and my strength increases, I'll come back to the Endless Sea again.
You'll help me disguise myself as a demon, and I'll stir things up down there, do some morally bankrupt things, and pin everything on the demons.
I guarantee that even if the demons have a mouthful of excuses, they won't be able to explain themselves!"
When Jun Wen had previously told her that sea beasts turned a blind eye to the demons, she had a flash of inspiration. She hadn't grasped it at the time, but later she figured it out.
That inspiration was this exact plan!
Disguise herself as a demon and provoke conflict between sea beasts and the demons!
Of course, her strength was currently insufficient and she'd have to wait for some time.
After hearing her words, the little black ball only wanted to say two words:
Truly vicious!
Is this something a normal person would come up with?
No wonder your dantian cracked, it's because you lack virtue!
Only when the sky began to grow faintly bright did Feng Xi have the little black ball stop "fishing".
At this moment, it was also time to depart.
Originally, Elder Duanmu didn't have particularly deep feelings toward Feng Xi, but after this period of interaction, he had already begun treating her as a junior of his own family.
Thus, he repeatedly reminded her to be careful in everything.
When they passed by An Ding City, City Lord Hu was already waiting there.
Although he appeared to treat everyone equally, it was obvious that he was far more reluctant to part with Feng Xi.
After bidding farewell to City Lord Hu, everyone continued on their journey.
After leaving the no-flight zone, they each summoned their flying boats and sped toward Turtleback Mountain.
This was Feng Xi's first time riding a flying boat, but for someone who had seen airplanes, it wasn't particularly novel.
It's merely a different method of traveling.
Although Qin Shifeng's impression of Feng Xi had improved somewhat, he wasn't especially warm. After exchanging greetings, he went to meditate and cultivate.
Although Jun Wen and Xing Wu didn't get along, with Feng Xi mediating between them, they could still manage to chat together.
The journey went smoothly, and on this day, the flying boats arrived at Turtleback Mountain.
Before disembarking, Feng Xi gave the specially separated seafood to Xing Wu, asking him to pass it on to Sect Master Hu Wankui when he returned to the sect.
Xing Wu also didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it.
Turtleback Mountain was crowded with cultivators, people from various sects, as well as many independent cultivators.
Many independent cultivators were even forming temporary teams, to avoid being killed and robbed once inside.
Feng Xi and Jun Wen also found the Xuantian Sect group.
Jun Wen started complaining, "Little junior sister, look. Those three other sects' direct disciples are almost all here!
Now look at our Xuantian Sect, it's just the two of us. I don't know which rat hole did Eldest senior brother and the others crawled into!"
Feng Xi took a look, and that was indeed the case. So far, among the four major sects' direct disciples, none were Nascent Soul cultivators, so all met the requirements to enter this secret realm.
Aside from Lu Xiuhan of the Hunyuan Sect, everyone else had arrived.
When Feng Xi read the book, she skimmed parts of it, and Xuantian Sect's direct disciples were merely portrayed as licking dogs, so the descriptions weren't very detailed.
Thus, she only knew that eldest senior brother Jiang Ji would accidentally enter the Turtleback Mountain Secret Realm. As for where the other three senior brothers had gone, she wasn't sure.
Feng Xi said with a smile, "Isn't entry limited to those who are fated? Maybe they're not fated, and only the two of us can get in!"
Jun Wen's eyes immediately lit up, "Right, right! That's exactly what I think too!"
