Chapter 36: Primordial Spirit Embryo
```
The Golden Snake burst into a terrifying presence in the air, its shape suddenly expanding dozens of times over, transforming into a colossal snake soaring into the sky. Its menacing and prominent body twisted as it rolled towards Lu Qingshan. Its entire body was flashing with golden light, causing the whole space to start trembling.
It was just a single strand out of the three thousand Qing fibers, yet it possessed such a terrifying power. The strength of Golden Snake Granny could be partially perceived from this.
Clang!
The Dragon Sparrow Sword left the body and transformed into a Spirit Snake, but it was composed of flames and Sword Qi. It fiercely collided with the Golden Snake.
In the face of a Nascent Soul Cultivator's methods, even if it appeared to be just a casual strike, Lu Qingshan did not dare to underestimate it, to say nothing of the fact that Golden Snake Granny was a Nascent Soul Cultivator who had made a resounding name for herself.
Therefore, he also added a thread of Slaughter Sword Intent to this Flying Sword.
An indescribable aura spread, causing the Golden Snake's body to shudder slightly.
This was the power of the Dragon Breath from the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
Boom!
The massive Golden Python actually couldn't withstand the Flying Sword that Lu Qingshan had exerted with all his might.
The snake's golden body first emitted intense shaking, and after a few moments, it exploded violently under the impact of the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
A shower of Blood Beads rained down from the snake's body, but they were instantly turned to nothingness in the scorching wave of the Dragon Sparrow Sword's fire.
However, although he had blocked Golden Snake Granny's attack, Lu Qingshan didn't have the slightest complacency. He promptly had Mimi quickly retreat backwards, giving up a very distant position.
The gap between him and a Nascent Soul Cultivator was too great. If Golden Snake Granny were to be even slightly more serious with her attack, it would not be something he could bear, so he could only retreat first.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingshan had managed to block her poison snake. Golden Snake Granny felt a slight surprise in her heart, but seeing that Lu Qingshan had already retreated a great distance, she did not pursue him further.
After all, her true target and great enemy was the Qingqiu Mountain Master.
Qingqiu Mountain Master's gaze was solemn as he raised both hands.
A thick burst of green light surged out, and immediately, several thick vines intertwined together sprouted from the ground.
The vines rotated at high speed, like a drill, shooting towards Golden Snake Granny.
The vines could be both rigid and flexible, suitable for both attack and defense.
Golden Snake Granny's gaze was full of irritation. A brilliant golden glint appeared in her hand, and facing the oncoming vine attack, she did not dodge or evade, catching all of those annoying vines Qingqiu Mountain Master had cultivated right in her palm!
A sinister smile crossed her face. The golden light in her hand suddenly died down, turning into a purple Poison Fog, which she instantly merged into the vines.
She planned to corrode and break down Qingqiu Mountain Master's vines with her Poison Art.
But to her surprise, her always effective Poison Art had no effect against these vines that seemed to be swung at random.
Thud!
The vines' onslaught continued, piercing Golden Snake Granny's palm, leaving a huge blood hole!
Golden Snake Granny quickly shook off the vines and retreated.
Her palm was a bloody blur.
"Is this the Immortal True Intent?" However, Golden Snake Granny was not infuriated or angry by this, but rather muttered to herself somewhat distractedly.
Those seemingly ordinary vines had the Immortal True Intent attached to them, which is why her Poison Art had no effect and could not cause any damage.
But Qingqiu Mountain Master's offensive was not over yet.
The vines stopped in the air, and suddenly trembled. The leaves, originally fiery red, detached from them. In an instant, these inconspicuous leaves burst into flame as if they had encountered something that could ignite them in the air, forming one violent fireball after another.
```
The leaves turned into a fireball, and when the fireballs connected with one another, they instantly formed a heart-stoppingly ferocious fire lion that charged towards Golden Snake Granny with the fierce gait of a wild beast!
Lu Qingshan watched, dumbfounded.
The Qingqiu Mountain Master's use of the Immortal True Intent was completely different from his understanding.
Turning Wood Attribute vine leaves into a Fire Attribute attack—this kind of application was whimsical yet conformed to the Immortal Intent.
As long as the essence of life remains the same, why can't attributes be transformed into one another?
"If you don't want these two fawns to die, then stop immediately," Golden Snake Granny said with a cruel smile on her radiant face, facing the immensely savage fire lion.
A long golden Spirit Snake tightly bound Yaoyao and Mimi, slithering up in front of Golden Snake Granny.
The Spirit Snake constantly flicked its scarlet tongue, and saliva dripped ceaselessly from its mouth onto Yaoyao, seemingly drooling over her.
A camel, though emaciated, is bigger than a horse; Golden Snake Granny had never deluded herself into thinking that she could take down the Qingqiu Mountain Master with just the golden line snakes.
Her real trump card was the lives of Yaoyao and Mimi.
First, she used Mimi to allow the golden line snakes to lurk within the Qingqiu Mountain Master's body, then, through the snakes, she forced the Mountain Master's body to separate from his Primordial Spirit, robbing him of his terrifying combat strength that could have subdued her instantly.
Next, she entangled with the Qingqiu Mountain Master, briefly holding him back and drawing his attention while releasing poisonous snakes to silently and stealthily capture the two fawns.
This was also a flaw of the Qingqiu Mountain Master.
Having never left Qingqiu and interacted with outsiders, he was aware of humanity's cruelty but completely unprepared to face such ruthless tactics, seeming far too naïve.
The fire lion, surging and thundering towards her in the sky, abruptly halted.
Seeing this, a sinister light flashed in Golden Snake Granny's eyes, and upon her manipulation, the golden Spirit Snake that bound Yaoyao and Mimi tightened its body, constricting the fawns, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Yaoyao couldn't help but let out pained whimpers.

"Release Yaoyao and Mimi!" Qingqiu Mountain Master's voice was hoarse.
This was the first time he felt such uncontrollable rage.
Even when he had been previously tricked into having his Primordial Spirit separated from his own body, his emotions had not fluctuated so intensely.
"If you want the lives of these two fawns, then exchange them for your Primordial Spirit Embryo!" Golden Snake Granny demanded coldly, her eyes flashing with ruthlessness.
After witnessing the power of the Immortal True Intent, her desire and greed surged even more.
"How did you know?!" Qingqiu Mountain Master asked, his face showing a slight change.
Although Lu Qingshan had temporarily stepped back to monitor the situation, upon hearing the term "Primordial Spirit Embryo," he too was taken aback.
Could it actually be that kind of divine object?
No wonder the Qingqiu Mountain Master had said that his comprehension of the Immortal True Intent was blessed with a unique advantage.
The Primordial Spirit Embryo, also known as Taoist Jade.
It was a miraculous item that captured Heaven and Earth's creation when the world was young and not yet fully stable, a vessel to carry the mysteries of the Great Dao.
Although as Heaven and Earth steadily solidified and the world became whole, the profound mysteries of the Great Dao eventually departed and returned to Heaven and Earth.
However, the remnants of the Dao's Intent and the mysteries it left within the Jade Embryos could still point directly to the Primordial True Intent and were sacred objects for comprehending Intent.
As a curious object from the birth of Heaven and Earth, the Primordial Spirit Embryo was irreplaceable and no longer existent since the current world was stable.
One could say that as they were consumed, Primordial Spirit Embryos would become increasingly scarce and would eventually disappear completely.
