Against The Gods
Chapter 11 – Red Hair Girl


The three things that Xiao Che asked made Xia Qingyue's pheonix-like eyes instantly open: “What are you trying to do? . ”


"Does this mean you really have a way to get it?" Xiao Che asked hopefully, after seeing that Xia Qingyue did not directly reject him.


Xia Qingyue slightly furrowed her brows, and began to slowly speak: "I have never heard of the Seven Profound Gem Grass but the beast pellets that can only be obtained after killing the beast. And how many people in the Blue Wind Empire could actually successfully hunt ferocious beasts on the Profound path? Even in Frozen Cloud Asgard, people who could do that were naturally extremely rare. And the Purple Veined Heaven Crystal was a priceless immortal treasure that even the four great sects would be infatuated with! Even someone would be worth more than ten years of cultivation in one's lifetime. Those three things, not even mentioning me, even if it was the Madam who was looking for those things, were still nearly impossible to obtain. ”


Xiao Che's chest lifted up and down as he closed his eyes, silent for a long time.


"What do you plan to do with those three things?" Xia Qingyue asked spontaneously.


“Fix My Profound Veins. Xiao Che replied.


“... I can't help you. '' At the same time, Xia Qingyue said that, she did not believe that the three items could refine the Profound Veins. Otherwise, there was no way his master would not know this method.


Xiao Che shook his head as if it did not matter: “Three items are not items that ordinary people can obtain, I just casually asked about them. "After a small pause, he spoke again in a small voice:" Wife, after you return to Frozen Cloud Asgard, will we meet again? "


“Don't call me wife again! My name is Xia Qingyue! ”Sia Qingyue said as her voice shrieked and her voice grew colder.


Nonchalantly, Xiao Che spoke in a carefree tone: “I marry you and marry me. We have bowed before heaven and earth with thousands of people as our witnesses. We went through the whole wedding. I am your husband and you are my wife. If I hadn't called you wife, what else would I call you? "


"……" Xia Qingyue became speechless. After a while, he nonchalantly spoke: ”


Xiao Che suddenly grinned widely .. This wife was untouchable, but had no speaking skills!


"You still haven't answered my question before .. When you return to Frozen Cloud Asgard, will we meet again?" Xiao Che asked again.


"No . '' Xia Qingyue replied.


"Good!" Xiao Che nodded his head and leaned his head against the wall as he closed his eyes: "Actually, you should return to Frozen Cloud Asgard as early as possible and not have to worry about me. For someone as talented as you, you should not live in this small Floating Cloud City nor be bound by me. When you leave, your status as a disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard will be known to the public. At least in this Floating Cloud City, no one dared to hurt me and I would live more comfortably... Oh right, you must not object to my opinion? "


“…. As you wish . '' Xia Qingyue said, expressionlessly.


"Mmm, it's more like that, because you'll never see me again. If you don't let me get a concubine, I might actually divorce you. ”


Xia Qingyue's heart was forgiving as calm as water, but she had a spontaneous desire to throw him out of the room.


At the same time, he suddenly saw Xiao Che standing up and walking to the door. He hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?"


“Can't sleep, I went out to watch the stars. '' When Xiao Che answered his question, his heart groaned ..This woman, how about you crouch here in the middle of the night. Let's see if you can sleep like that!


Xia Qingyue did not speak anymore and Xiao Che opened the door as she walked out.


It was in the middle of the night and everything was silent. Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Xiao Che stared at the star-filled sky with a stern expression in his eyes. However, deep down, he was confused by the puzzling unease.


Today is the first day he is born again. Although his mind had changed a lot when compared to the past, with a change that could even be said to have turned the world upside down, it was, even his powerful mind was unable to find a way to get out of the situation of the broken Profound Veins.


If he could obtain the Seven Profound Gem Grass, Purple Veined Sky Crystal, and Earth Profound Realm Beast pellets, he would have a success rate of over 50% when refining his Profound Veins. However, with his current ability, even to obtain one of the three items he needed was extremely difficult.


After all, only the strong were respected in this world. Without sufficient strength, achieving what one wanted was merely an illusion.


What should he do …


Xiao Che's eyes contracted as he turned around, facing north.


"This is… . ”


Other than being poisonous and possessing powerful refining abilities, the Sky Poison Pearl possessed additional abilities. It had a special kind of ability that could sense poisonous medicinal herbs nearby! If within a certain distance of a highly toxic material or drug, it will see where it is, emit a flashing light, and point at its target location … but the prerequisite is that the material should be one of the highest quality. The level of sensing that the Sky Poison Pearl possessed was unrivalled. When compared, the highest level one could reach would not even reach the level of the Sky Poison Pearl. In the Azure Cloud Continent, the Sky Poison Pearl had only flashed six times, each time allowing it to find the rarest treasures of the most exotic treasures!


Although this was the first day in the Profound Sky Continent, the Sky Poison Pearl actually had such an induction! Even this place hides a secret treasure?


The direction of the Sky Poison Pearl's target was to the north .. which was the Xiao Clan's mountain direction.


Xiao Che had his own small courtyard, its location could be said to be the most dangerous of all Xiao Clan properties. This was because above the walls of his courtyard, lay mountains. This mountain actually still belonged to the Xiao Clan personally. Sometimes low-level wandering Profound beasts would enter the courtyard by climbing over that wall. And if one wanted to come from behind the mountain and sneak in to make this area his, it would be an excellent choice. However, in the face of the strength of the Xiao Clan in Floating Cloud City, no one dared to do that to this day.


Xiao Che did not hesitate and directly climbed up the wall. Even though his Profound power was low, climbing the three-meter-high wall was no problem.


The mountainous area was desolate and gloomy, and if it was Xiao Che before, he would absolutely not have come here in the middle of the night. The moon in the sky was still hanging high and the countless stars there were also not dim. Xiao Che glanced around him and when he was sure no one was in sight, he stepped gently towards the Sky Poison Pearl pointing in the direction.


The mountain under the moonlight seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of fog, making it seem mysterious and dangerous. Not long after, Xiao Che arrived at the foot of the mountain. In this place, the flashing lights of the Sky Poison Pearl were at that highest frequency. Xiao Che stopped and wondered....is it around here? But this was clearly just the foot of the mountain area. The Xiao Clan Pharmacist had to pass through here every day so how could he possibly grow up here? Whether it was a heavenly treasure or a hefty type of medicine, it must have been discovered; why was it waiting for him to find it for the harvest.


However, the Sky Poison Pearl had indeed reached this fast frequency which meant that the target would be at least ten steps away.


Under the moonlight, Xiao Che's brows tightened as his eyes slowly and carefully searched every inch of the surrounding land.


Under normal circumstances, the more valuable the medicinal herb was, the more dangerous and extreme the place it grew. At first glance, the area at the foot of this mountain was covered by weeds and Xiao Che could not help but be tempted to suspect there was a problem with the Sky Poison Pearl's natural instincts.


As his eyes carefully scanned the ground in a circle, aside from just the weeds, Xiao Che could not even find the most common medicinal herb. Just as he was about to give up, his eyes suddenly landed somewhere with some kind of vagueness.


Xiao Che today had a keen intuition. He raised his head and looked towards the uncomfortable feeling he suddenly felt for the first time in this world. There were a large number of weeds there as well, but a certain weed on the edge of the stone that had not been stepped on had caught his attention. Xiao Che walked to the side of the rock and crouched down next to it and stared at the mass of weeds for a long time. Locked firmly in the middle of all the weeds it is a smaller .. weed with a strong amount of vitality. Without interruption, one can say that they cling to a dear life by rooting at every available opening. In the midst of the weeds that were not trampled was an even smaller abyss. The hole was very small because there were only two strands of grass growing there. However, if one looked closely, it was apparent that the grass there was significantly different from the other grasses around it.


A gentle gust of night wind blew, shaking the small weeds in the area. At this moment, Xiao Che's eyes had been firmly locked into a small hole and suddenly saw the strange shape of two blades of grass.


Xiao Che's eyes widened and he was suddenly filled with ecstasy. He quickly stretched out his left palm that contained the Sky Poison Pearl towards the small hole. Under the dim green light, two blades of grass slowly appeared again.


“Star Hiding Grass! It was truly a Star Concealing Grass! And there are even two of them! ”Xiao Che excitedly growled in a low voice as he lowered his left hand with the intention of uprooting them. The Sky Poison Pearl lit up and two Star Concealing Grass blades were found, on Xiao Che's palm.


The higher the quality of the medicinal herbs, the harder it was to harvest even for the slightest mistake during the harvest could cause damage to the ingredients and lower their efficiency or even destroy their effectiveness. But with the Sky Poison Pearl, no matter how complicated the potion was, one need not worry. The Sky Poison Pearl can harvest potions without bringing any potentially dangerous side effects by using that aura, completely wrapped around the potion without any leakage of spiritual power.


"Rather than saying it was a surprise, it was better to say that this was a miracle!" Looking at the two blades of Star Concealing Grass that were partially hidden in his palm, Xiao Che's arm trembled in excitement. In his entire life of twenty-four years, he had traveled almost everywhere in the Azure Cloud Continent and had only discovered one Star Concealment Grass. However, only on the first day did he come to the Profound Sky Continent did he actually find two! And it's in the mountains behind his own family!


One could tell that there was no difference when comparing the difference between the Star Concealing Grass and ordinary weeds, as it was almost impossible to distinguish between the two even if one tried. At the same time, it has a very unusual ability...it can become invisible! In a way, it means that if one wants to find one, it will be harder to do. His teacher had once told him that the Star Concealing Grass was a treasure of heaven and earth, but there were some who knew of its existence. The number of people who had the ability to identify it was no more than five in the Azure Cloud Continent. Moreover, the only thing in the world that can fully refine this heavenly treasure is the only Sky Poison Pearl!


“This is truly the grace of heaven help me. Having two blades of this Star Concealing Grass was equivalent to having a definite trump card! After refining it into Star Concealing Pills, my life would be insured even if I wanted to kill or rob people! ”Xiao Che laughed as he clenched the Star Concealing Grass in his palm and sent it to the interspatial storage within the Sky Poison Pearl.


The flashing lights coming from the Sky Poison Pearl stopped completely after he did that. The happy Xiao Che no longer had any reason to linger and turned around to go home. As he turned around, a cold light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes.


Xiao Che stopped in his tracks to turn towards the cold light. In the light of the moon that was not too faint, he saw a faint opaque mass of less than fifty meters in the north. It was an obscure white shadow.
