Chapter 1628: Chapter 1488: Demon Race, Sea Race, The Same Civilization

“Follow me.” Elder Li slowly walked towards the back of the house.

Chu Mu and Ning Man’er followed the short raccoon elder into a very dark wooden house.

Inside the wooden house, some special gems glowed with a faint light.

There were several vine tables in the house, laden with various wooden bottles of different colors and shapes, looking much like a small pharmacy. Chu Mu remembered that Ye Qingzi’s table would often have as many items on it. Except that Ye Qingzi’s table was clearly more organized than the old man’s.

“Are you a Spirit Master?” Chu Mu asked in surprise.

“By your human standards, I suppose so,” said Elder Li with a nod, “Humans have their civilization, and we demons have ours. It’s not just humans who know how to refine Spirit Items, Xuan Objects, and Immortal Items…”

Elder Li spoke calmly as if it was just a commonplace matter.

But to Chu Mu, this was an astounding revelation. Surely most humans would be shocked to learn that other races also possess life forms similar to Spirit Masters!

“I asked you to come over in five years because the potion to eliminate corpse toxicity is not so easy to complete. There has been some unrest in the East Sea lately, preventing my subordinates from gathering herbs. Now I’m missing one ingredient, and since you’re here, you might as well do me the favor of fetching it,” said Elder Li.

“No problem,” Chu Mu nodded.

“Don’t agree so readily. The herb is not so easy to find. The place where it grows is currently in the midst of an ocean war between the Catastrophe Sea Demons and the Overlords of the East Sea,” Elder Li explained.

Regardless of the difficulty, Chu Mu would find it, after all, it concerned Ye’s life.

“Do you have any Water-type soul pets?” Elder Li asked.

Chu Mu scratched his head awkwardly; he was a landlubber. Every time he entered the Henghai, he felt uneasy, because he still hadn’t acquired any Water-type soul pets up to now.

Seeing Chu Mu’s expression, the raccoon elder knew the answer and spoke, “Then it’s even more troublesome. The Living Grass grows in the seafloor trench of the Deep Sea Abyss. Although I know where there is One Plant, if you cannot go underwater, you surely won’t be able to obtain such Immortal objects.”

Chu Mu smiled bitterly. What could he do? It was not as though he could just go out and catch a Water-type soul pet on the spot. Although he had room in his soul contracts, Chu Mu was very selective about signing Soul Pacts with soul pets!

“Mr. Li, I have a friend who is currently in a ghost state. Her body is perfectly preserved. Is there a way to resurrect her?” Chu Mu asked.

The matter of Princess Jinrou had always lingered in Chu Mu’s heart, yet the methods for resurrection were as elusive as legends. Chu Mu had no clue where to start searching. The raccoon elder knew much more than Fox Elder, and since he could restore the demonized Ye to become a Demon Spirit, perhaps he might have a way to bring Princess Jinrou back to life.

“Tell me the details of her situation, how she died, the time of death, and what caused her current state,” Raccoon elder Li requested.

Chu Mu recounted to the raccoon elder the circumstances of Princess Jinrou.

“She has been dead for such a long time…” Raccoon Elder Li stroked his silver beard, deep in thought, “But it’s good that you preserved her body using Eternal Spring Water, this initial action has retained some of her vitality. Later, a Magic Spirit signed a soul contract with her, awakening her soul, which increased the possibility of her resurrection. There is a method I know of that may allow her to come back to life, but I can’t guarantee success. In addition, the resurrection technique of the Naihe Flower can certainly restore her.”

Chu Mu had already learned about the resurrection technique of the Naihe Flower from Fox Elder. However, the Naihe Flower was not so easy to find. Bai Yu had been looking for this clue all along, and after many years, there had been little progress.

As one of the five great Undying legends with the highest Species Ranking, the Naihe Flower was much rarer than the other four. Rumor had it that only one human possessed the Naihe Flower, and it was unclear what level it was at or if it genuinely held the power of resurrection.

Unless Chu Mu could break into the Flower Clan’s Territory and find the Undying Naihe of the Flower Clan.

But obviously, this was impractical. Let alone whether it was possible to meet the Undying Naihe, even the location of the Flower Clan’s land was a problem in itself.

“The remedy to remove Ye’s corpse transformation needs Living Grass, and the potion your friend requires also needs this herb. But don’t hold your breath, because the kind of Immortal Items that allow the soul to re-merge with the body to achieve the effect of resurrection are not so easily crafted,” Raccoon Elder Li spoke.

“As long as there’s a chance.” Chu Mu nodded. Even if the probability was one in a thousand, Chu Mu wanted to attempt to resurrect her.

“Then the difficulty of your herb gathering just increased. The Living Grass I’m asking you to get is of a thousand years, found under the sea in the Deep Sea Abyss. The Living Grass your friend needs must be at least three thousand years old. The deepest part of the Deep Sea Abyss might have it, and if you’re capable, you can go down and check. As for how to dive, you’ll have to figure it out yourself,” Raccoon elder Li said.

Speaking of this problem, Chu Mu started to get a headache again.

Ice and Water are both deadly to the Fire Series, and in the Ocean, Space abilities are also hindered, significantly weakening his power.

“Big Brother can’t swim, can’t you think of a way to help him, Elder Li?” Ning Man’er blinked, speaking softly.

“This…” Raccoon Elder Li was already refining medicine for Chu Mu, and it was Chu Mu’s responsibility to find the ingredients. Whether he succeeded depended on his own abilities.

However, softening at Ning Man’er’s plea, Raccoon Elder Li thought it was indeed hard on Chu Mu, having no Water-type soul pets and being a fire element himself, unable to unleash his strength underwater.

“Well, go to the Sea Race and find the East Sea Merfolk King. It owes me a small favor. Tell it you came on my behalf, and it will be willing to help you,” Raccoon Elder Li said.

East Sea Merfolk King?

It was the first Chu Mu had heard of this Race. Could it be that the merfolk rumored in the Navy actually exist?

Seeing the confusion on Chu Mu’s face, Raccoon Elder Li continued, “The Henghai East Sea, closest to your Human Continent, it’s normal to have some mixed bloodlines. Jiao Demon People also have a bit of human blood. Besides, aren’t you a mixed blood too? Mixed bloodlines don’t always come from mating; it could be due to some special soul fusion or even gaining another Race’s Legacy Power can cause bloodline changes.”

Uh, Chu Mu’s thoughts indeed strayed. For a moment, he really wondered how creatures of different species could reproduce.

But then, Chu Mu quickly realized another issue.

If one day he and Ye Qingzi had a child, would it be like him, a fire user from birth?

If so, that would be one difficult child to handle.

“Thank you, Mr. Li.” Chu Mu knew that Elder Li had done him a great favor.

“Yeah, go on then. The East Sea Merfolk King is a strong one in the East Sea. As a Monument Weeper and Guardian of the World Monarch Tree still growing, it will benefit you to get acquainted with such Race Leaders,” Raccoon Elder Li suggested.

“Elder Li, you just mentioned, your Demon Race… Does your Demon Race reside on this island? So you live together with the Sea Lord? They occupy the Ocean, and you have the island?” Ning Man’er asked curiously.

Back in the Silent Forest, Grandfather of the World Tree often told Ning Man’er stories about these Races, and now that she was in the heart of the Demon Race’s land, she naturally had many questions.

Raccoon Elder Li seemed to like Ning Man’er very much, smiling like a kindly human Elder, explaining patiently: “The Demon Tomb is just one Territory of our Demon Race, similar to one of your human Main Cities. Besides some islands in the Henghai, our Demon Race also has a Territory almost the size of the Human Continent, though I haven’t been back for many years.”

“Oh, so the place is inhabited entirely by Demon Spirits?” Ning Man’er asked.

Raccoon Elder Li shook his head, “The Demon Race just has a relatively prosperous and civilized rule, there are many other Tribes, World Dynasties, and Large Races as well.”

“I really want to see that…” Ning Man said hopefully.

“Haha, we’d be most welcoming. Humans don’t understand the importance of the World Tree, but our Demon Race knows how to cherish and protect it. Alas, it is a pity the last World Tree was destroyed. I guess the Masters of the Five Great Races are also enraged now,” Raccoon Elder Li sighed.

“It’s okay, there’s still me.” Ning Man’er had emerged from that shadow by now.

“Yes, hopefully those people won’t make the same mistakes again. If they truly anger the Five Great Races, the Human Lands will face an extinction-level disaster,” Raccoon Elder Li mentioned.

“No, there are many people like Big Brother who won’t allow those people to act recklessly,” Ning Man’er said.

Chu Mu gave a wry smile. Don’t put such a big hat on me, I’m not a Human Leader, just a small King of the New Moon Land, don’t talk so loftily.

The real rulers of humanity are the Divine Sect, Xuan Immortal Sect, Monster Beast Palace, Elemental Sect, and others, it’s not my turn to bear such life-and-death responsibilities…

Alright, Chu Mu admitted to being selfish. After all, he felt even protecting the New Moon Land was a challenge now.
