Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 70 - 68: Eldest Senior Brother

The further west you go, the more desolate it becomes, with boundless deserts all around. The scorching sun bakes the earth, and occasionally fire scorpions and poisonous snakes emerge from the golden sands in search of food, warning of the dangers lurking within.

Is it here?

Ye Qiu arrived at a desolate temple, its roof had been torn off by strong winds, and the damaged Buddha statue lay half-covered in sand on the ground. To call it a temple was generous, as only a few pillars remained standing.

At first glance, there seemed nothing remarkable about the place, yet the green copper plate in his hand was vibrating more intensely than it had in some time.

Ye Qiu circled the ruined temple several times, noticing that the green copper plate was most active when he was closest to the Buddha statue. It seemed that whatever was hidden must be inside the statue.

The Buddha statue itself was made of refined copper and held no particular value, otherwise, it would not have been left here. A quick investigation by Ye Qiu revealed a secret compartment at the base of the statue, within which lay a brocade box.

Its preservation was likely due to the temple and the Buddha statue being considered worthless.

When Ye Qiu opened the brocade box, he indeed found another piece of green copper inside, slightly larger than the one he had, but the two pieces did not fit together. He could not figure out the reason and simply stored them in his ring space without giving it further thought, believing that he would eventually find out in time.

Ye Qiu had now attained Divinity Transformation, and he knew that the Sky Tower would open in twenty years, allowing all cultivators to enter and seek their fortunes. He needed to quickly enhance his cultivation level.

Meanwhile, Fairy Qingling, along with Xue Yang and Fanxing, realizing the harsh truth that without strength one would suffer, worked hard to improve their cultivation. In order to help a residual soul refine a body, they scoured the entire Cultivation World, offending many. Rumors had it that the black market’s bounty on them had reached tens of thousands of top-grade spiritual stones.

Luckily, the Sword Pavilion had long severed ties with Qingling, otherwise, they would have been dragged down by her as well.

The following year, rumors spread that a beautiful, kind-hearted monk with a red mole between his eyebrows had joined Fairy Qingling’s company, and everyone was abuzz with excitement, admiring her good fortune.

No one knew what allure she possessed to entice the former Young Master of the Array Sect, the current Young Master of the Meteor Trading House—the largest business in the Cultivation World—and a highly accomplished monk to stay by her side. All three were said to be exceptionally handsome and talented, drawing many who wished to meet them.

As Fairy Qingling was hunted by countless foes, her possession of an Immortal Artifact was exposed. Without the protection of a sect, the number of people inquiring about her whereabouts grew. Whether they were after gossip or her treasures was a question only the parties involved could answer.

Qingling had her extraordinary aspects. Among her pursuers were those whose cultivation exceeded hers by two major realms. Yet, even so, they gained no advantage over her and could only watch helplessly as she departed.

Those of lower cultivation than her needless to say, were all struck down by her sword.

Three years later, Ye Qiu heard in a remote small town up north that Fairy Qingling had acquired the companionship of a man with silver hair and green eyes, who was said to be a Demon World Great Power from the Mahayana Realm. No one had seen his true form, but disciples of the Beast Taming Sect later claimed it was their former Guardian Elder, a three-thousand-year-old Big Snake.

Speaking of the Beast Taming Sect, Ye Qiu recalled the two disciples he encountered in Medicine Valley while buying Silver Snake Spirit Vine. They intended to purchase his Spirit Plant, possibly for this Big Snake!

Indeed, Ye Qiu had guessed it correctly!

Now, the male and female disciples, infuriated yet secretly relieved, were thankful they hadn’t bought the Silver Snake Spirit Vine back then. Otherwise, they would have lost both their Lady and their troops. Who could have imagined that the spiritual beast that had always guarded their sect would elope with a woman?

The Beast Taming Sect became the laughingstock of the entire Cultivation World for losing a Mahayana elder, significantly weakening their power, and Fairy Qingling was thoroughly blacklisted by them.

Five years later, Ye Qiu fell into a Small Secret Realm by accident while undergoing trials in the Arctic Icefield.

In the Small Secret Realm, Ye Qiu noticed that the Spiritual Energy was distinctly different from the outside world; it seemed to be of a higher grade. Most of the Spirit Plants here were also of types he had never seen before. Could this possibly be Immortal Spirit Qi?

Could this place be a small fragment of the Immortal Realm then?

Ye Qiu, for the first time ever, brought along Little Wood Spirit and Water Spirit when going out. When no one was around, he would let them out, and at this moment, one hung on each side of Ye Qiu’s hair, feeling more vibrant as they absorbed the Immortal Spirit Qi in the air.

"So many Spirit Plants! Their ranks are all so high, I feel like I could level up just by consuming them." Little Wood Spirit slid off Ye Qiu’s shoulder, busily digging these Spirit Plants into its own space.

Ever since Water Spirit arrived, the growth of the Spirit Plants in its space improved more and more. Correspondingly, the Spiritual Plant Space also grew larger, and the flow of time inside quickened. Spirit Plants that would usually take thousands of years to mature in the outside world could ripen in just over a decade in its space. With the upgrading of the Spiritual Plant Space, it continued to promote the growth of the Spirit Plants, creating a mutually reinforcing process.

After consuming enough Spirit Plants, there had been a change in Little Wood Spirit’s body; it had transformed from a palm-sized humanoid into a little green snake with two bulges on its forehead.

If given enough space to grow, it might really transform into an Azure Dragon. But this kind of transformation derived from its origin is fundamentally different from the dragons of the Demon Clan; they are natural and nurtured Spiritual Objects, not demon beasts.

"What is this?" Ye Qiu saw a small tree about knee-high, with only a few dozen leaves on it, yet each leaf emitted a shimmering green light, looking extraordinary.

"This is an Enlightenment Tea Tree, Qiuqiu. You can pluck a leaf to brew tea. If you’re lucky, you might even comprehend the Heavenly Dao!" Little Wood Spirit, having upgraded, now had a head full of new knowledge. The Enlightenment Tea Tree was highly sought after by Great Powers in Ancient Times, and finding it here was truly fortunate!

After hearing this, Ye Qiu gasped in astonishment. The Enlightenment Tea Tree—he had heard of it, but wasn’t it extinct already?

This was something remarkable; comprehending the Heavenly Dao sounds simple, but in reality, even Immortals might not be able to catch a glimpse of the traces of the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao, what an ethereal entity!

Some say Cultivation is about following the natural order, while others claim it’s about defying it, but in the end, no one truly knows. Perhaps only those who reach the Divine Domain may touch upon a fraction of it!

"And what is that?" Ye Qiu saw a flower with five petals of five different colors swaying in the wind.

"A Five-colored Flower, which can be used to refine Divine Crossing Pills!" Little Wood Spirit happily ran over and gently transplanted it into its own space.

Divine Crossing Pills? Ye Qiu hadn’t heard of them, but anything related to divinity couldn’t be simple.

Ye Qiu finally realized, he had stumbled upon a treasure!

This entire Medicine Garden, there probably wasn’t a single mortal item!

Meanwhile, Fairy Qingling and her several true loves had also arrived at the Arctic Icefield, a mere hundred miles away from Ye Qiu.
