The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 219 Millennium Snake Guard
"One hundred thousand buckets?"

Wang Wu was stunned. He knew that one dou meant one dot, which was a unit of measurement for spiritual energy. It was a special magic gourd, and when it was filled, a corresponding spiritual light would light up.

But one hundred thousand points of spiritual energy is a bit too much.

After thinking about it, Wang Wu asked honestly: "Can it be cheaper?"

"No! This is the rule. We are not bullying you. We, the five stewards, are responsible for the daily maintenance of Shamen Village. If we give you a bargain, we have to make up for it ourselves. This doesn't make sense."

"Of course, if you say you can leave within a month, then we can still be good friends. We are even willing to give you some money and send you off happily. In short, I hope you won't make things difficult for us, and we won't make things difficult for you!"

The wolf demon was quite polite in his words.

"Then may I ask, if I pay 100,000 buckets of spiritual energy every year, can I find a job in Shamen Village? How much wages can I earn?" Wang Wu asked seriously.

As a result, the tiger demon on the opposite side roared wildly, "Little bear cub, are you teasing me? Didn't you come to Shamen Village to take in the evil wind? Who would come here to earn wages like you? If you want to earn wages, go to Centipede Ridge! Either take out 100,000 buckets of spiritual energy, or let me teach you a lesson today!"

Wang Wu really felt wronged, but there was really no need for him to fight with this tiger monster.

"Okay, okay, let's talk it out. I'll give you 100,000 Dou Spiritual Qi! Let's not hurt the harmony."

As he spoke, Wang Wu directly took out five seventh-grade spiritual energy training pills, each of which contained 20,000 points of spiritual energy. These were given to him by Lu Dongyang and have been preserved until now without expired or deterioration. They are quite good.

At this moment, the entire long street was quiet. The next second, it was as if the scene had suddenly switched. The restaurant opened its windows, the brothel opened its doors, and the little fox girl singing winked at Wang Wu.

The two pig demons were still drinking there, an old human man was selling his spiritual fruits, and the market was crowded with people, making it very lively.

Very down-to-earth.

The tiger demon stood in its forging shop at some point in time, the wolf demon continued to sell its Goubuli steamed buns, and the chicken demon continued to sell its egg custard.

Only the five seventh-grade spiritual energy training pills in Wang Wu's hand seemed to melt by themselves, turning into rays of light that rose up and merged into the barrier formation in the sky.

Wang Wu stared blankly, but no one paid any attention to him, as if he had really become a member of Shamen Village.

"What is this young gentleman's name?"

A faint fragrance wafted over, it smelled very pleasant, Wang Wu looked back and saw a pretty woman in white with delicate features and a smile on her lips, standing there gracefully, very pleasing to the eye. She was none other than the beautiful snake that had danced with the sword just now, and also one of the five housekeepers who had forced him to pay the rent just now.

Of course, Wang Wu would not vent his anger on it, but he was a little curious whether it was one of the three hundred snake guards?

But it seems not to be the case, because he just watched the sword dance for a while longer, but there was no reaction.

At this moment, Wang Wu quickly raised his paw and said, "Excuse me, I am Xiong Shiliu from the Western Wilderness. What instructions do you have for me, Sister Housekeeper?"

The snake demon smiled again, with bright eyes and white teeth, full of charm, "I don't dare to take your orders, but I just want to ask, young man, are you willing to work as a waiter in my restaurant? As for the salary, how about 100,000 buckets of spiritual energy per year?"

Good man, you are blatantly supporting me.

I just don't know if there is a pitfall? Or is it our own people?
You will know after trying it!

Wang Wu was not vague at the time. Even if it was really a snake guard, it would be impossible to confirm it in broad daylight. He immediately said, "Thank you, Sister Housekeeper. I couldn't ask for more."

The snake demon looked Wang Wu up and down again and said, "First, transform into a human. I want a handsome one, not an ugly one."

A more handsome one?

Wang Wu was stunned, but he didn't think much about it, because when the monsters transformed into humans, it was really not easy for them to become handsome men or beautiful women.

The more refined the appearance, the higher the difficulty index.

Therefore, some little monsters would rather peel off human skin and put it on themselves than go through the trouble of changing their human form. This is a very complicated and advanced skill that requires mastery of qi and blood.

In addition, many details such as hair, smell, charm, body shape, etc. also need to be carefully grasped. Take Wang Wu himself as an example. He was able to change at will only after he obtained the sixth-grade Ruyi Demon Pill. Before that, his transformation was really no less than a difficult test.

Out of a full score of 100, he could only get 50 points at best.

And now, he can score 80 points.

Wang Wu had no intention of hiding his weakness, because in Shamen Village, the weakest monsters were all at the fifth level, and he was theoretically the weakest one at the moment.

The snake demon in front of him should have cultivated the spiritual demon pill, so his method of transformation can get at least 99 points. The details, the form, the charm, and the experience are almost like a living human fairy.

At this moment, his mind moved, and the five demon pills in his body started to work. The blood and qi surged like a tide, and fell like smoke, lifting heavy objects with ease, just right. Only a blood curtain like red clouds could be seen covering his whole body. After only three seconds, he turned into a two-meter-tall, broad-shouldered, strong and powerful man weighing 500 kilograms. "Okay, it's not bad!"

The snake demon covered his mouth and smiled, then led the way, walking gracefully into the restaurant, which was also the only restaurant in Shamen Village.

The moment it entered the door, the bustling restaurant immediately became quiet, but then became lively again.

When Wang Wu walked in, more than a dozen eyes swept over him instantly. Most of them were curious, but there were also a few with pity, but no envy, jealousy or hatred.

Go up to the second floor, go up to the third floor, go downstairs, and go upstairs again. This seemingly small restaurant seemed to have turned into a maze at this moment. Until the end, the snake demon actually led Wang Wu to a dark secret room.

After the entrance was completely blocked, it lit four strange lanterns at the four corners of the secret room and pasted three spiritual light talismans. Then it turned around and bowed to Wang Wuyingying.

"Snake Nineteen greets the lord!"

As soon as the voice fell, it pinched a familiar mark in its hand. At this moment, Wang Wu's own blood and energy seemed to undergo some uncontrollable changes, turning into a wave that directly tore open a hidden truth.

At the same time, a sense of enlightenment arose in Wang Wu's heart, and the blood in his body turned into an invisible mark at this moment.

It's the mark of the Serpent Guard.

With a thought in his mind, the mark appeared in his hand, forming a snake-shaped mark that seemed real.

At the same time, two lines of information appeared.

"You have officially activated the inheritance of your ancestors. You have obtained the complete mark of the Serpent Guard. From this moment on, you officially become the current leader of the Ancient Blood Bear Clan. All the Serpent Guards of previous generations can be deployed by you."

"You have successfully contacted a snake guard who has been undercover in the human race for 1,600 years."

-

Wang Wu was a little confused. He had been undercover for 1,600 years. A thousand-year-old demon! Is that so exaggerated?

For a moment, he was even a little at a loss.

However, the snake Nineteen stood up at this time, looked at Wang Wu carefully for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "My lord, don't be restrained. I have been in Shamen Village for a thousand years. Although my strength is not enough, I still have some background. I can fully protect my lord's safety. My lord, please take a seat."

"This—I just find this so unexpected."

Wang Wu smiled awkwardly and passively accepted She Shijiu's service, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Accidents are normal, because when the snake guard is released, we don't know when it will be activated. Many sisters have never been summoned by the snake seal in their entire lives. For example, I was trained by the ancient bear king of the previous generation. I became a spirit beast of a human cultivator 1600 years ago, and later followed him to Shamen Village. He wanted to use the evil wind to break through to the second level, but unfortunately died suddenly, so I stayed in Shamen Village."

Snake Nineteen spoke lightly, as if these were trivial matters not worth mentioning, but Wang Wu knew that 1600 years was such a long time, and it was rare for it to remain loyal to the Snake Guard Mark for such a long time.

But what he was more curious about was what methods the ancient bear kings of all generations used to control these snake guards?

"If the master dies, won't the spirit beast die with him?"

Snake Nineteen nodded. "In theory, that's true, unless the human cultivator you meet is kind-hearted, or needs to pass on the spirit beast to future generations of disciples. But there is one thing, most human cultivators are selfish. They treat spirit beasts as items that can be consumed at any time, and they will replace them with new ones when they die."

"So when the blood contract was drawn up, the minimum conditions were followed, that is, if the spirit beast died, not only would the owner not be implicated, but on the contrary, would receive a good benefit. But in this way, if the owner died suddenly first, then the spirit beast would basically be free."

"I'm lucky, I've survived like this. But in fact, my master used me as a furnace for collecting energy, a tool for venting lust, and a blood armor for sustaining injuries. If he hadn't died at that time, I would have lived for at most another three to five years. But after he died, I lived for another thousand years. It's just that I worked hard in cultivation over the past thousand years to barely make up for the loss. Even so, my time is coming soon. In at most a dozen years, I will turn into a pile of bones."

"So, it is a blessing from heaven that I can meet you, my lord, at the last stage of my life."

Snake Nineteen said this calmly, really making a light statement.

Wang Wu fell silent, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "I cannot comment on the decision of our ancestors, nor can I make up for the harm you have suffered over the years. But since I am the current leader of the Ancient Blood Bear Clan, I can promise you that there will be no more snake guards in the future. You and your sisters are free, and you can remove the snake guard mark."

Hearing this, She Nineteen was stunned, and looked at Wang Wu in astonishment for a long time. He wanted to laugh, but also seemed to be crying. There was something crystal in his bright eyes. He wanted to say something, but finally he knelt on the ground and kowtowed nine times.

When it raised its head again, its eyes were bright again and there was a smile on its lips.

"My lord, this is the secret key to the enchantment formation of this restaurant. Please accept it. I am old and weak and can no longer serve you. I just want to visit my hometown before I die, to see the snow-capped mountains and the West River. I still remember that there was a Tree Grandpa Temple on the bank of the West River. I was still young at that time and had just cultivated the Tongqiao Demon Pill when I was captured by the master..."

"I just don't know if it's still the same as it was before?"
