Chapter 81 - River Master
Chapter 81: River Master
“You want to experiment on this frog?”
Qin Jue was speechless.
This was a pill that was refined with the Essence Soul of a Saint Stage expert. It was simply a waste.
“Why don’t you try it?”
“You should probably experiment with this frog.”
“…”
Taking a deep breath, Bai Ye said seriously, “Humph, just watch. I will definitely not fail this time.”
With that said, Bai Ye flicked his finger, and the dark green pill immediately flew into the frog’s mouth. Bai Ye then hurriedly threw the frog to the ground and quickly retreated.
Qin Jue :”…”
Why are you so nervous?
Five minutes passed…
“Nothing seems to have changed.”
Qin Jue frowned.
“Let’s wait a little longer.”
Bai Ye stared fixedly at the frog as he yelled out internally, Change!
Another five minutes passed, but there were still no changes to the frog.
“Did you lose the Essence Soul during the refinement process?”
Qin Jue expressed his doubts.
“Impossible. I clearly succeeded in infusing the Essence Soul into the medicinal pill,” Bai Ye denied.
“Forget it, I should go back to sleep.”
Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders and prepared to go back to sleep.
At that moment, there was a bang.
“Hahaha, it’s changed, it’s changed.”
Bai Ye shouted excitedly.
Qin Jue hurriedly turned his head and saw a layer of green mist spreading out.
Soon, the green mist dissipated, revealing the figure inside.
“This…”
Qin Jue was suddenly stunned.
At this moment, the frog had become over two meters tall. It had a long tongue, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a bloated body. It looked exceptionally comical.
But… Why was it so familiar?
It looked exactly like the river master from a game in Qin Jue’s previous life?
Although the original river master was a catfish, it was still too similar!
Without waiting for Qin Jue to react, the frog suddenly stretched out its tongue and attacked Bai Ye, forming several afterimages.
“Stop, stop!”
In the blink of an eye, Bai Ye was covered in saliva and in a sorry state. He no longer had his sage-like appearance.
However, the frog had no intention of stopping. It looked at Qin Jue again.
Seeing this, Qin Jue was shocked and hurriedly used his spirit energy to restrain it.
“Senior Brother, what kind of pill did you refine? How could you turn it into this?”
The corner of Qin Jue’s eyes twitched slightly.
“I don’t know either.”
Bai Ye shook his head.
Bai Ye was only refining it according to the method written in the book. As for the result of his refinement, it was all up to fate.
“…”
“Damn it, this saliva is so disgusting.”
Bai Ye circulated his spirit energy to wash off the saliva on his body before sizing up the frog in front of him. “Although its appearance is a little strange, it seems to have reached the Heaven Stage.”
Hearing this, Qin Jue finally noticed that this frog that looked like the river master was already at the early-phase Heaven Stage.
After consuming a medicinal pill, it went from an ordinary frog to a Heaven Stage fiend beast. Should he say that the Wuji Saint’s Essence Soul was too powerful, or that Bai Ye’s pill-refining skills were too powerful?
Most importantly, the frog did not explode!
“Mas… ter.”
At this moment, the frog spoke slowly. It was no longer just repeating someone else’s words.
“Master? Are you calling me?”
Bai Ye was stunned.
“Yes, Master.”
The frog nodded.
“Hahaha, I succeeded!”
Bai Ye was overjoyed. He had finally succeeded in refining a more normal pill. The only difference was that it had to rely on the Essence Soul of a Saint Sage.
“Who exactly are you?”
Qin Jue said hesitantly.
As everyone knew, after a fiend beast reached the Earth Stage or above, their intelligence would be similar to that of a human. However, this frog gave Qin Jue a strange feeling, so he couldn’t help but be suspicious.
After all, the pill it had eaten had been refined with the Wuji Saint’s Essence Soul.
“I… I don’t know.”
The frog revealed a blank expression. Be it its tone or its expression, it was no different from a human.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll take a look for myself.”
Qin Jue didn’t say anything else and directly used his spirit sense to enter the frog’s mind.
As expected, Qin Jue found a large number of memory fragments in the frog’s mind, but the memories in these memory fragments were very vague. However, he was certain that these memory fragments came from the Wuji Saint.
It seemed that Bai Ye had not completely erased the Wuji Saint’s consciousness when he was refining the pill. Otherwise, this would not have happened.
Although these memories were already very vague, to be safe, Qin Jue still forcefully erased the part about the Wuji Saint’s identity in case the frog suddenly awakened and became the next Wuji Saint.
As a senior web novelist reader, Qin Jue had seen many similar plots. It was always right to be careful.
With Qin Jue’s strength, even if he erased this part of his memory, it wouldn’t affect the frog at all.
“What’s wrong, Junior Brother?”
Bai Ye asked nervously.
“It’s nothing. I’ve already erased its memories of the Wuji Saint. Now, it’s just a frog that has gained sentience.”
Qin Jue faintly said, “Give it a name.”
“Name? Yeah, I should give it a name. But what should I call it? Little Green? Big Frog?”
Bai Ye fell into a dilemma.
“I have a good name that suits it.”
“What name?”
Bai Ye asked impatiently.
“Tam.”
“Tam? What does that mean?”
“Nothing much. It just suits it very well.”
“Fine. I’ll call it Tam from now on.”
Bai Ye didn’t think too much about it. He was a name junkie anyway, and Tam didn’t sound bad.
“Tam… I have a name. Thank you, Master.”
The frog said happily. It was just that it looked very cute.
“Tam, listen. You’re not allowed to lick people anymore.”
Bai Ye thought for a moment and ordered.
“Why?”
Tam was puzzled.
“No means no. Otherwise, I’ll cook and eat you.”
As if it had understood Bai Ye’s words, Tam suddenly shivered. “Yes, Master.”
Seeing that Tam had no intention of refuting, Qin Jue heaved a sigh of relief and then removed the spirit energy shackle.
“Hahaha, I never thought that I, Bai Ye, would have a Heaven Stage fiend beast as a pet. What a pity, it’s just a little ugly.”
Bai Ye laughed.
Tam was speechless.
Qin Jue couldn’t be bothered with this unreliable senior brother of his. He turned around and went to sleep. As for this frog, it was only an early-phase Heaven Stage cultivator. It simply didn’t have the strength to win in a fight against Bai Ye, so there was no need to worry.
However, this matter also made Qin Jue have the idea of taking in a pet, but after carefully thinking about it, he found it troublesome, so he gave up.
The next day, Qin Jue woke up on the blue stone. Perhaps it was because there was a spirit tree planted next to him, but even the air became much fresher. Qin Jue first poured a few drops of spirit wine for Yun Xi, then casually made something to fill his stomach before lying by the blue stone to drink.
Not long after, Luo Weiwei arrived and was surprised to see a spirit tree planted by the blue stone. “This is… a Blood Spirit Fruit Tree?”
“Oh? You can tell?”
Qin Jue was rather surprised.
“Mm, I read about it in an ancient book, but… the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree should have gone extinct.”
The girl said hesitantly.
“It’s gone extinct?” Qin Jue was stunned. He had never done much research on spirit herbs and didn’t know the value of the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree. No wonder that fellow almost fought him to the death over this fruit tree.
