Chapter 455: Armored Trolls’ Counterattack (1)

After Jiang Li gave counseling to the young lady, he brought her onto his Immortal Slaying Flying Sword.
A series of fleeting shadows that could not see the surrounding scenery had already appeared at the entrance of Elder Mu’s courtyard.
Shenshan Qiuhua grabbed Jiang Li’s arm tightly and had yet to react. How could the speed of his Sword Kinesis Flight be so fast?
Crossing a hundred miles in a short period of time actually did not make her feel much discomfort.
Then, looking at the small courtyard in front of her, Shenshan Qiuhua hesitated again.
She pulled Jiang Li’s arm. Jiang Li understood that she did not want Elder Mu to worry too much.
This time, there were no peach blossom trees in Elder Mu’s courtyard, only a few stalks of the current season’s flowers casually placed in the courtyard.
Elder Mu was grinding a piece of cinnabar. Beside her were many blank yellow talismans.
The upcoming war made everyone busy.
When she saw Jiang Li and the others arrive, Elder Mu seemed to be very happy. She put down the things in her hand and invited Jiang Li to sit down.
Jiang Li drank the peach blossom tea in his hand and asked after some consideration.
“Elder Mu, I want to ask if anything special happened to Qiuhua when she was young and she used a special treasure.”
“Or, did you use any special treasures before she was born?”
Coupled with the treasure light on Shenshan Qiuhua, Jiang Li thought about it and still felt that the possibility of her being an external object was the greatest.
In ancient times, there were often legends of mortals accidentally eating spiritual treasures, women becoming pregnant without a husband, and giving birth to a spirit embryo demonic child.
That was because the treasure had a spirit. Mortals could not refine it and the spiritual qi gathered into a fetus.
Among them, the reincarnated spirit pearl, Nezha, and the Ten Brothers were the most typical examples.
However, when she heard Jiang Li’s question, Elder Mu’s expression changed.
“Did something happen to Qiuhua again?!”
“Qiuhua, are you feeling unwell? Tell Mother!”
Elder Mu clearly knew something. She looked nervous as she surrounded Shenshan Qiuhua and checked her up and down.
Clearly, Jiang Li had guessed correctly.
“Elder Mu, Qiuhua is fine.”
“Or rather, that’s a good thing. An inheritance has awakened in her body. It’s extremely beneficial to Qiuhua’s future cultivation.”
“However, that inheritance is not complete. You know that it’s very easy for something to happen that way. Therefore, I want to know the origins of Qiuhua’s inheritance.”
“My Scripture Storage Valley has many ancient texts. Perhaps we can find related content. If we can complete it, it will be a good thing no matter what.”
Jiang Li tried his best to explain.
However, Elder Mu shook her head repeatedly.
“That’s my fault. That’s not the inheritance. That’s the bloodline curse of the snake demon!”
“I originally thought that this matter would be over many years later. I didn’t expect that it would still spread to Qiuhua!”
Elder Mu hugged Qiuhua. When she discovered that her cultivation had unknowingly broken through to the Core Formation realm, not only was she not happy, she was even more worried.
Fortunately, Jiang Li used the large amount of inheritance in the Scripture Storage Valley to convince her, allowing her to speak about the past.
It turned out that this matter was related to the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda.
When he was young, Elder Mu left home to wander the world in anger because of a conflict with her family.
It was also at that time that he got to know Shenshan Qiuhua’s father and traveled the world with him.
However, it seemed that the Mu family’s patriarch did not like the betrayal of his descendants. At that time, the Mu family’s patriarch, who had just inherited the position of the family head, actually ordered to kill his own sister.
This caused the two of them to suffer an irresistible attack.
In an attack, Elder Mu and Shenshan Qiuhua’s father were both heavily injured. Elder Mu was even crippled of the Mu family’s cultivation method and had her spiritual root extracted, causing her to be in danger.
The Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak’s Water and Wood Peak Masters were all unable to help her.
In order to treat the injuries of his lover, Shenshan Qiuhua’s father suddenly recalled a secret of the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda.
This Earth-rank construction-type artifact was refined with the corpse of a demon that had been passed down for generations in Shu Mountain as the core.
Through the corpse called the Earth Snake Mother, this Demon Subduing Pagoda that was buried underground could trap the Earth Spirit and absorb the power of the earth vein to refine flying swords for itself.
In the ninth level in the deepest depths, there was a Snake Mother Stone Embryo. It was said to be able to heal all injuries and illnesses in the world and cause one to be reborn.
He went against the teachings of the Shu Mountain’s ancestors and went down to the ninth level of the Demon Subduing Pagoda. He took out the Snake Mother Stone Embryo and let Elder Mu heal her injuries in the placenta on the ground. Only then did he heal his injuries and let Elder Mu obtain the water attribute spiritual root again.
Later on, she cultivated the Shu Mountain cultivation method again and became an elder of Shu Mountain’s Water Element Peak.
After that, for a long time, they did not sense anything abnormal.
Later on, Elder Mu became pregnant with Shenshan Qiuhua. She quickly discovered that snakes began to appear more and more frequently around her.
Every morning, they would discover that there were all kinds of long snakes crawling outside the house.
In that period of time, the entire Water Element Peak had almost become a snake nest. Such an abnormality naturally attracted some rumors.
If not for the fact that the Shu Mountain disciples were generally noble and had the Sword Head Shenshan Jianyi’s assurance, Shenshan Qiuhua would probably be labeled as an inauspicious demon baby before she was even born.
Her pregnancy was also different from others. Shenshan Qiuhua stayed in Elder Mu’s womb for two years and seven months before she was born.
