Refining The Mountains And Rivers Chapter 721
Advertisement
Qin Yu let out a light breath of air. “All sorts of great storms and waves have tried to bury me. I’ll be fine this time too. I will be as careful as I can. The two of you haven’t restored yourselves yet and maintaining your manifestation will only use up your strength. You should return to my soul space and rest.”
Purple Moon nodded. She grabbed onto Meimei who had not finished playing and vanished from sight.
The laboratory fell quiet once more. Qin Yu rubbed his forehead. After several breaths of silence, he forced a smile.
He still didn’t know anything about Purple Moon’s origin, but he didn’t doubt that she was extremely mysterious and formidable. This person who commanded the resentful spirits was actually someone that Purple Moon felt was troublesome? Then this made things much more difficult!
Qin Yu and Purple Moon had the same thought. If this enemy’s plan to throw resentful spirits at him had failed, they would definitely switch to a different one. With how precious the Chaotic Sky Chronicle was, they would never stop pursuing him.
But in his current condition, Qin Yu didn’t have much confidence in himself. It seemed he would need to borrow the strength of the Hidden Fog Sect. As for the future…well, he would take things one step at a time!
Qin Yu darkly sighed. He stood up to walk outside. He believed that it would be necessary to have a chat with the Hidden Fog Sect.
“Jejeje…you killed my wife and children and now you want to leave so easily? Your thinking is too naïve.” An eerie cackle filled the air and the temperature began to rapidly fall. When Qin Yu walked to the door, he found it had been wrapped up in black energy and could no longer be opened.
Qin Yu turned around in amazement. After a brief pause, a purple light flashed in the depths of his eyes. The shadows of the four pillars that supported the testing platform began to flow out. They converged and poured into one place, forming a blue-clothed man.
He had a handsome appearance and an elegant demeanor. Just standing there, he seemed like a gentle and kind scholar. But his blood red eyes appeared to be tumbling with waves.
Qin Yu took in a deep breath and sensed the yin chill that flooded the air. As he thought, the flavor was similar to yesterday’s. Qin Yu’s eyes widened with disbelief – the one that Purple Moon dreaded so much, the one that sent these resentful spirits to deal with him, were they an idiot?

Within Qin Yu’s soul space, Purple Moon was completely bamboozled, as if her intelligence had been insulted. The one that could control this kind of extraordinary resentful spirit had to be a formidable character. And according to what she knew, powerhouses were all smart individuals, because idiots would have already been eliminated.
But what about now? She explicitly warned Qin Yu to try to admit defeat to this formidable enemy and beg for forgiveness, but this enemy had gone and fallen for the same trap twice in a row. And besides the resentful spirit being stronger, there wasn’t any change at all…was there even any meaning to this?
“Ahhh!” Meimei jumped up in excitement. To her hungry mind, intelligence or wisdom was completely unimportant.
In this world, only good food never disappointed!
Moreover, this meal was larger, more fragrant, and far more delicious. Drool dripped down her chin as her patience completely vanished.
“Mine, mine, the good food is mine!”
Outside in the laboratory, Qin Yu had been awakened by the disturbance in his soul space. He subconsciously shouted, “Wait!” He wanted to find out some information about the enemy.
The resentful spirit that resembled a blue-clothed scholar smiled. “Do you want to beg for mercy? Or delay for time? Sorry, but I won’t give you that chance.”
He snapped his fingers and was about to attack when he suddenly felt someone grab him. With a face full of shocked disbelief, he looked down to see a cute little girl in a purple dress grasping onto his thigh for dear life, her head constantly rubbing back and forth against him.
‘Mine! Mine! All mine!”
After turning into his current state, how many years had it been since someone dared to approach him? There was actually a cute and lovable little girl that was willing to grab onto him of her own initiative. Inexplicably, the blue-clothed resentful spirit felt a little touched in his heart.
But this touched feeling only lasted for a split second before it was cleanly erased from his heart.
Cute little girl…
He suddenly thought of something. A cold chill erupted from the depths of his heart. It was like the cold wind of the deep winter, blowing directly into his body. It caused the blue-clothed resentful spirit that had already lost its body temperature to feel as if he were caught in a block of eternal ice.
Roar –
With a resounding roar, the handsome and elegant scholarly façade was torn apart. The resentful spirit’s 70-80 feet tall main body appeared.

Its appearance was the same as the three resentful spirits from yesterday. It looked as if its body had been torn into countless pieces and then stitched back together, thus giving it such a terrifying appearance.
The resentful spirit’s courage collapsed. It had already revealed its true body and a yin chill energy surged around it, capable of swallowing the vitality of a million beings. Yet, that little girl still grabbed onto his feet, without any intention of letting go…faintly, he could even see her increasingly excited expression and the drool that leaked out from the sides of her mouth.
Wait a moment…drool!?
The resentful spirit’s red eyes flew open. It watched as the little girl opened her mouth. Then, what it felt next was something like a rusty iron needle being ruthlessly stabbed into its brain. It cried out in misery. What was even more terrifying was that it couldn’t move at all…how was this possible? This little girl’s aura was clearly small and weak.
“Wuwuwu…
“I feel as if my years in this world have all been wasted. I never imagined there would be something so tasty.
“It’s mine, it’s mine, please don’t take it from me!”
Meimei chewed in great gulps even as she cried tears.
Shua –
Purple Moon’s figure appeared. She glanced at Qin Yu once before eerily sighing, “I take back what I said to you.” Having such a stupid yet formidable enemy could be a good thing at times.
Looking at how voraciously Meimei was eating, Purple Moon subconsciously licked her lips. When this was combined with the earnest desire that flickered across her face, it created a soul-stirring image.
But in the eyes of the resentful spirit, this expression was so terrifying that it left nothing in his mind but desperation. Yet soon, the resentful spirit found out that its desperation had yet to reach the peak.
Hum –
A blue sun phantom appeared. It was different from before. This time, one could faintly see a figure inside.
This figure was tall, curvy, and slender…
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. He always thought that the blue sun, which was even more silent and cold than Purple Moon, was male. What would happen in the future if they were to know of his thoughts?
Qin Yu had received the blessings of three beautiful ladies, all of them of unparalleled might…he suddenly felt a chill surge through his body!
“Ahh!” The resentful spirit screamed pitifully. Its massive body started to be reduced at a speed visible to the eye, and its voice weakened along with it.
Meimei vowed that this was the limit of how fast she could eat. But compared with Purple Moon and the blue sun, she still fell behind.
Wu wu wu…
My delicious food!
Wu wu wu….
Slow down when you eat!
Wu wu wu…
I can’t win against them, this is so hard to bear!
More tears flowed down Meimei’s face. The resentful spirit saw this and his heart twitched, “This is sorrow for the food that is entering your stomachs?”
As soon as this ridiculous thought appeared, it let out one final cry before disappearing.
“Ahem!” Purple Moon covered her mouth, trying to maintain her calm demeanor. “I’m going to rest.” She had eaten far too much. She began to finally understand why that little kid was always so excited when she saw a good meal.
Meimei lay paralyzed on the ground, her hands holding her round and full belly. She didn’t want to move at all, “Big Sister Purple Moon, please pull me up, I cannot move right now.”
Shua –
The two of them vanished from sight.
As for the slender and tall figure within the blue sun, it seemed to glance over before turning and disappearing.
Indeed, they were still too proud!
Qin Yu shook his head. He felt helpless towards these three residents inside his body who had eaten their fill and left without even a single word of thanks.
But soon he paused. He slapped his head. Damn, he had lost focus for a moment and had forgotten to ask the resentful spirit for his enemy’s origin. But, he really couldn’t blame the three women. They were like the reincarnations of starving ghosts. They ‘ate’ their meals so quickly that it left anyone watching shocked. By the time he regained his senses, the resentful spirits had been eaten up with nothing left behind.
This was his mistake, it was definitely his mistake!
Qin Yu bitterly smiled. Looking at the place where the resentful spirit vanished. If the heavens gave him a third chance, he would have to use it well.
But was that really possible?
No one could be so stupid as to fall for the same trap three times!
“Hah!”
Qin Yu sighed and stepped outside. He thought that he should negotiate with the Hidden Fog Sect first.

Gods How I Hate Nature
While there are always choices in life, lately they’ve all tended to skew between bad, terrible, and suicidal. Tome finds himself typically choosing the latter. As if people and plants consistently trying to kill him wasn’t bad enough, he finds himself sent off to a Mage Spire along with a self-righteous other worlder (as though there were any other kind). Add to this some powerful figures in black, a sadistic instructor, an uptight law keeper, and Tome just wants to go back to his room, down a pint, and forget about everything… But, when someone starts a fight, especially someone bigger and stronger, you bide your time and strength. Before you can get revenge, you have to settle for surviving and slowly gaining power. That means accepting the most suicidal choices, doing the jobs no one else will do, always smiling, and not slitting that other worlder’s throat… (The story will incorporate comedy, but it will be a dark story. This won't be a happy, uplifting tale, but it also won't be too morose or depressing. Though if you're rooting for the other worlders, then I suppose it will be...)

Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.
