Chapter 220 Anyone who peeks will be bitten back (Subscribe)
Baili Zhi can write beautiful articles. If she takes part in the imperial examination, it would be easy for her to become the top scorer, or even a juren, and become a female teacher.

She writes very well, and her words are full of rhythm and literary talent.

Chu Wujiang picked up the article and nodded with satisfaction:

"Zhiruo, go out and have a rest. I'll call you later."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Baili Zhi was like a qualified tool. He never said a word more, never asked a question more, and came when called and left when dismissed.

She hurried out of the room to warm herself up again, but Chu Wujiang stopped her again:

"and many more."

Baili Zhi quickly stopped and asked:
"My Lord, what do you want me to do?"

Chu Wujiang casually ordered:

"Go to the warehouse to get the [Hundred Ginseng Pills] and tell them that I ordered you to do so."

"You'll get one every month from now on."

"Whatever you ate at Baili's house, you should eat now."

Baili Zhi has a [naturally weak body]. This kind of physique is naturally insufficient. Even if she cultivates to the Yuantai realm, she is still much worse than the average body-building realm warrior.

So she has been a medicine-loving person since she was young and has to take tonics regularly.

One Baishen Pill requires the medicinal power of at least one hundred ginsengs to be refined, and is a good medicine for the cultivation of Yuantai realm warriors.

The cheapest Hundred Ginseng Pills on the market cost three hundred taels of silver. She needed to take one pill every month in order to live like a normal person, which meant three thousand six hundred taels of silver a year.

These resources are enough to build a warrior in the Yuantai realm.

If converted into the previous life, Baili Zhi's annual medical expenses would be 36, a stifling figure.

Only a noble family could allow her to grow up healthy and become a warrior.

Therefore, Baili Zhi is grateful to the family and is willing to do anything for the family, including accepting Chu Wujiang's demon seed.

Chu Wujiang took her in, so naturally he had to raise her to prevent her from dying of weakness.

The Chu family doesn't lack this little money.

Baili Zhi showed a hint of excitement on his face, and he shouted quickly:
"Yes, Lord Marquis."

She has been getting weaker and weaker recently, but she dared not say it or make any requests.

After all, if you live under someone else's roof, you must be prepared to live under that roof.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wujiang saw through the Heavenly Demon Seed that her body was weakening every day, and took the initiative to bring it up:

"If you feel unwell, speak up."

"You are an important talent and cannot be wasted."

Baili Zhi was moved and said:

"The servant understands."

"Go."

Chu Wujiang then picked up her article, read it silently, and was very satisfied.

[Respectfully ask the ghosts and gods] This fortune is extremely special. The better the article, the more obvious the effect will be.

If you can write an article that will last for generations and move the gods and ghosts, it is not impossible to predict the future.

Chu Wujiang did not become a plagiarist, lest he be struck by lightning. Instead, he endowed the article with spirituality and asked the gods and ghosts for advice.

After the article was endowed with sufficient spirituality, sparks instantly flew out and burned the article to ashes.

Just as the article was burning, Chu Wujiang suddenly saw a towering underground palace. This underground palace emitted a dim light, as if shrouded in a layer of faint black mist.

In the center of the underground palace stands a tall statue of the Demon King, its face obscured by shadows, appearing majestic and mysterious.

In front of the statue, a mermaid knelt there for a long time, praying devoutly to the Demon King:

"Great Demon King, please bless the Son of the Sea."

"Let us occupy the human land and defeat their warriors."

"I, Ye Ming, the son of the Night Clan, will offer you a feast of blood."

"Please grant our clan good fortune and make our clan prosperous forever."

"The Supreme Demon King."

"Please wake up and flood Longzhou with sea water, turning the land into an ocean and the territory where my people live."

Mermaids are one of the races under the Demon King. They attack humans not only for revenge, but also for another very important reason, which is to please the Demon King.

If the mermaid performs well enough, she will be rewarded by the Demon King, which includes magic luck.

As the saying goes, one rises while the other falls. The fate of the human race and the demon race are intertwined. When the human race is strong, the demon race will be weak. When the human race is weak, the demon race will be strong.

Therefore, the mermaids would rather go ashore regularly and slaughter humans than find ways to prevent humans from becoming further powerful.

The contradiction between the two cannot be reconciled for the time being.

Even if we know that there is no reproductive isolation between the two races, it cannot stop the two races from fighting.

[Has the mermaid who attacked the prince returned to Teardrop Island? ]

Chu Wujiang was recalling the scene that emerged in his mind, and he saw the mermaid named [Ye Ming] placing the prepared blood on the altar.

Thick blood suddenly gushed out, smearing the Demon King's image everywhere.

The Demon King statue suddenly emitted a red light and absorbed the blood completely.

[Wait, this demon king statue looks familiar.]

[He, why does he look a bit like, like Emperor Guangzhu? ]

【How can this be! 】

Chu Wujiang stared at the statue of the Demon King. The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed to him. When he saw the appearance of Emperor Guangzhu in the statue of the Demon King, he felt a sharp pain in his mind.

The Demon King seemed to have sensed being watched and let out a sharp, cold laugh.

Hahaha!
"Human, transform into a demon."

Accompanied by three long laughs, Chu Wujiang's brain seemed to be hit by a hammer, and his perception was immediately cut off.

But it was too late.

Those who spy on the gods and the Demon King will pay a heavy price.

【The End of the World Talisman! 】

[Snow Girl, Mei'er, help me! ]

Chu Wujiang resolutely recited a sentence silently, and the talisman from the ends of the earth that Governor Liu had given him in the past transformed all its energy into a golden protective shield.

Then it broke apart piece by piece.

This amulet with shielding ability was completely shattered.

Moboxun is an evil god, but that doesn’t mean there is only one evil god, there are also the likes of Demon King.

The Demon King's long laugh seemed to strike through endless time and space.

Since Chu Wujiang was actively spying, the Holy Emperor's formation did not stop him.

"Become my believer and transform into a demon."

Boom!

Chu Wujiang's soul shattered.

If it weren't for the ladies' help, his soul would have been captured by the Demon King. But his soul, which he had cultivated for many days, collapsed in an instant.

Feeling dizzy.

The ability of [Asking Ghosts and Gods] is similar to most divination and fate-seeking methods.

Anyone who peeks in will suffer misfortune.

According to legend, the most outstanding astronomer in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was punished by heaven and became a blind man.

"Huh, huh."

"I was really careless this time."

"Asking about the whereabouts of a mermaid, I bumped into a giant ghost."

“If it weren’t for the fact that his spirit and soul were one, if it weren’t for the ability to merge his spirit and flesh, the Demon King would have been half-dead or even half-crippled by this move.”

Chu Wujiang was breathing heavily and his hair stood on end. It was much more serious than the last time he spied on Mo Bo Xun.

After all, that time he just peeked at a drop of Moboxun's blood, but this time he encountered the prayer ceremony of the Demon King, which allowed the other party to catch him and take the opportunity to attack him.

[Husband, are you okay? ]

Xue Nu, Mei Er, and Lu You Lan, who had higher spiritual cultivation, caught the changes in an instant and asked hurriedly.

[It's okay. What could possibly happen to your husband? ]

Chu Wujiang returned his soul power and hurriedly comforted him.

The effect of the unity of mind and spirit ensured that he did not suffer a mental breakdown like other mind and soul cultivators.

This made the ladies breathe a sigh of relief.

The losses were great, but the gains were also great.

Chu Wujiang got shocking information:

"The demon king statue of the mermaid looks a bit like Emperor Guangzhu."

"The mermaid stole the bloodline of the Emperor's son."

"The mermaid used the blood to perform a sacrificial ceremony and offered it to the Demon King, who was satisfied with it."

"The first King of the East Sea was a powerful Yuanshen. He eventually disappeared in the sea, and not a single trace of his body was left."

"All this information combined ultimately leads to an incredible conclusion."

"The first King of the East Sea was the Demon King worshipped by the mermaids."

"No, this shouldn't be the case."

"The Demon King is an evil god that existed tens of thousands of years ago. How could he be the first King of the East Sea?"

Chu Wujiang bit his lip, not believing his own judgment, thinking it was too ridiculous.

If the mermaids attack this time and the Demon King descends, then the problem will be serious.

"Calm down, it shouldn't be that bad."

"It is possible that the mermaids obtained the remains of the first King of the East China Sea. They sacrificed the bodies of powerful Yuanshen realm masters to the Demon King, causing the Demon King to descend."

"So this demon king statue looks exactly like Emperor Guangzhu."

"That sounds very reasonable."

"According to this reasoning, the large-scale attacks and invasions by the mermaids are just a cover-up to obtain the bloodline of Emperor Guangzhu."

"The real killer weapon of the mermaids is the remains of powerful soul masters. No wonder they don't have time to recuperate."

Chu Wujiang always felt that there was something wrong. The mermaids had finally gained good fortune, so why didn’t they take some time to recuperate instead of rushing to attack humans?

You have to know that he also has the destiny of a peerless genius, and he is still in the seventh stage of Yuandan.

Even a peerless genius needs time to realize his abilities.

But the mermaids attacked as planned. If they wanted to please the Demon King, turning Longzhou into an ocean and covering Longzhou with fog, then everything could be explained.

"Do you want to confirm it again?"

Chu Wujiang picked up the second article, which was about [Why did the mermaids want to seize the bloodline of Emperor Guangzhu.]

But the moment he picked up the article, he felt a sharp pain in his brain.

The ability to foresee danger and avoid danger has begun to produce reactions.

"No, several lives are not enough to spy on the Demon King."

"The strongest fighting force of the human race is currently only the Yuan Shen, which is still far from the evil god."

"I'll keep this grudge in mind first."

"Mo Bo Xun, the Demon King, right? When I become stronger, I will come and take care of you one by one."

Chu Wujiang took a heavy responsibility against the Demon King. He had never suffered such a big loss before.

But now he himself is partly to blame.

Whether it is Confucianism or witchcraft, when they pay homage to ghosts and gods, they will hold a sacred sacrificial ceremony.

The Ministry of Rites, the Imperial Observatory and other ritual departments are specifically responsible for this.

Although Chu Wujiang had the talent of [Respectfully Asking Questions from Ghosts and Gods], he simply took an article, injected spirituality into it, and wanted to ask ghosts and gods to get answers from the unknown.

This is obviously too naive.

Everything has a price, and the ability to divination and prophecy naturally has a much greater price.

"This ability cannot be used indiscriminately. Be careful."

"Luckily I prepared some easy questions."

"I will first try to see what the limit of [Respectfully Asking Ghosts and Gods] is, and then consider the arrival of the Demon King."

Chu Wujiang let out a long sigh, put down the second article, and picked up the third article [Is there any problem with the thousand-year-old red fruit given by the emperor's son? ]

He also injected spirituality, and the article quickly burned up, leaving a sense of emptiness in his mind.

This proves that there is no problem with the red fruit and the Crown Prince did not tamper with it.

That's just right for eating it.

As soon as Chu Wujiang finished his prediction, he quickly took a bite of the thousand-year-old red fruit.

This thousand-year-old red fruit melts in your mouth just like the legendary ginseng fruit, and a warm current emerges from the Yuandan.

The huge amount of vital energy nourished the body and relieved a lot of the pain in Chu Wujiang's brain.

It really works.

Originally, the Tianxin grass had no effect on Chu Wujiang, but this thousand-year-old red fruit contained extremely rich energy. It could not only provide vitality, but also slowly transform the Yuandan and even repair the soul.

Chu Wujiang was pleasantly surprised to find that once he had absorbed all of the Millennium Red Fruit, his injuries would be mostly healed.

Otherwise, the soul will be hurt, and the flowers will be useless after a year or two.

"The Emperor's son was really nice this time. I will thank him in the future."

"It's a pity that the first King of the East Sea was involved in a royal scandal, otherwise I would have to tell him that you, my prince, don't want others to know that the first ancestor became the incarnation of the Demon King."

Chu Wujiang made a few self-deprecating remarks.

There are five more secret treasures of luck to come.

Regardless of whether the Demon King attacks or not, he must be prepared.
