Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

During this period, Zhang Lingshan successfully helped Yu Caixing refine four other top-tier magic weapons.

On the surface, Zhang Lingshan's spiritual roots are earth, fire, and water.

In reality, he possesses all kinds of spiritual roots, namely ten elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and darkness.

Because he possesses nine treasure chambers, a body made of profound metal, and a soul tree...

All these factors combined together constitute the collection of all spiritual roots.

For example, the Benfu (贲府) manifests as the spiritual root of light.

The Netherworld is the root of darkness.

Longfu: Wind Spirit Root.

The Heavenly Eye of the Purple Mansion is the Thunder Spirit Root.

In short, he is compatible with all attributes, so refining materials of other attributes is just as easy and effortless as refining water-type materials.

Yu Caixing was shocked by this, so she added another 500,000 yuan and lent it to Zhang Lingshan.

In return, Zhang Lingshan helped Yu Caiyue strengthen her water-based spiritual root.

Even so, Zhang Lingshan's temporary transfer has not yet arrived.

Has he suddenly changed his mind?
Or is it that someone in the Weapon Refining Pavilion disapproved of Huo Ran's arrogance and refused to release him?

After all, this time Huo Ran has borrowed his own esteemed weapon refiner. If your weapon refinement pavilion can't even protect its own weapon refiners, what kind of place is it? Everyone would be ready to shit on your head.

'It's better not to borrow them. Now that I have the merit points borrowed from Yu Caixing, I don't even need to refine weapons anymore. I can refine divine sense crystals every day and improve my skills beautifully.'

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.

[Spirit: Celestial Consciousness (Level 4: 7/10)]

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon."

Looking at the panel, Zhang Lingshan felt a surge of excitement.

All the merit points I had were exchanged for Divine Sense Crystals, which I put in a big bag. I refined them like crazy every day, but there is always a limit to the speed. No matter how crazy you are, you can't get fat in one bite.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as I refine all the Divine Sense Crystals I have, I'll definitely break through to the fifth level of Immortal Divine Sense. At that time, even if there are no earth-shattering changes, at least my powerful weapon of opening my Heavenly Eye will come in handy.

Previously, due to weak spiritual consciousness, even with the ability to open one's third eye, one could not harm others and would instead expose the power of the third eye.

But after the immortal consciousness is raised to the fifth level, everything changes.

Because the fourth level of immortal divine consciousness had already reached its peak on the third floor of the weapon refining pavilion.

Breaking through to the fifth level, one's divine sense can at least reach the top level on the fourth floor of the weapon refining pavilion.

Although the Alchemy Pavilion is a bit more arrogant than the Weapon Refining Pavilion, the difference in their spiritual senses should not be that great.

In other words, a fifth-level immortal's divine sense is not much weaker than Huo Ran's.

If he were to really fight Huo Ran, with his fifth-level immortal divine sense and the ability to launch a sneak attack with his Heavenly Eye, would he be able to kill him?
Not to mention that after absorbing so many Clear Spring Pills, his strength has also increased significantly. Although he is still unable to break through to the True Immortal realm, he is not much weaker than it.

In short, a breakthrough in one's divine consciousness will undoubtedly bring immense benefits; this goes without saying.

Whether it's cultivation, weapon crafting, refining molten metal, or refining medicinal liquids, spiritual consciousness is indispensable.

No matter how much you improve, it's never a loss.

"Zhang Lingshan".

On this day, Manager Ying finally appeared, knocked on the door of the weapon-refining room, and summoned Zhang Lingshan, saying, "You're on loan to the Alchemy Pavilion. Your water-type spiritual root is extraordinary. This loan is probably permanent. From now on, you'll become the fire-tending boy of the Alchemy Pavilion. To be more precise, you'll be Huo Ran's fire-tending boy."

After saying that, he sighed and said, "The Pure Lotus Pill that Huo Ran refined is very important, very important to the entire Anning Army and even the entire Anning City. Therefore, he has a lot of authority. The Weapon Refining Pavilion wanted to suppress his temporary transfer, but ultimately failed. Alas, you have been wronged."

Zhang Lingshan smiled slightly: "Manager Ying, I am very grateful that you were able to speak to the Weapon Refining Pavilion on my behalf and try to keep me here."

"How could I possibly have the right to speak?"

Zhao Chuanying waved his hand.

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands and said, "No matter what, among all these stewards, Steward Ying is the one who has been the best to me. If I, Zhang Lingshan, achieve something in the future, I will never forget Steward Ying."

"Ugh."

Zhao Chuanying sighed, "Go ahead, you've been there once already, so I won't lead the way for you."

"Okay, goodbye."

Zhang Lingshan didn't waste any more words. He had already told Qi Shuyan and the others what he needed to say. This day was expected, so without any surprise, he strode away from the Refining Pavilion.

far away.

Qi Shuyan and the others couldn't help but feel gloomy as they watched this scene.

Why must we all act this way?

Yu Caixing suddenly said, "Although Zhang Lingshan is not handsome, he is definitely not a short-lived ghost. One day, he will come back. Instead of worrying about him, we should work hard and strive to be promoted to silver medal as soon as possible. Maybe we can be of help to Zhang Lingshan."

"Master Yu's words are very true."

Qi Shuyan nodded: "Da Shan is blessed with good fortune; nothing will happen to him."

"Yes, Brother Shan has been to the alchemy pavilion before, and nothing happened last time, so how could something happen this time?"

Wei Sheng said.

Song Yi said, "The mountains possess miraculous methods that can surely turn danger into safety. Perhaps he will be even more successful in the Alchemy Pavilion than in the Weapon Refining Pavilion."

Yes, that must be true.

Shi Yong nodded emphatically.

Yu Caiyue clasped her hands together and prayed silently.

Her water-based spiritual root went from being almost depleted to being fully replenished, and then to becoming even stronger, resulting in an unimaginable increase in her cultivation potential—all thanks to Zhang Lingshan.

This can be described as a life-saving grace.

How could I not be moved to tears?

Of course, we should also thank my sister. If she hadn't lent Zhang Lingshan so many merit points, Zhang Lingshan wouldn't have been so dedicated.

"Little sister, with my current strength, I can help you refine a top-grade water-type magic weapon."

Yu Caiyue said.

"Haha, great. I'm already familiar with the process that Zhang Lingshan helped me refine, but just in case, I need to find someone who is good at refining water-based substances. Sister, please help me select one."

Yu Caixing smiled.

"Count me in, I'll help too."

Shi Yong hurriedly called out.

With Zhang Lingshan gone, the team's current pillars are Yu Caixing and Qi Shuyan. Qi Shuyan is the new backbone of the team, and the team already has a good relationship, so there's no need to worry.

Therefore, the main thing now is to maintain a good relationship with the Yu Caixing sisters.

As a lowly fire-starting boy, my time is far less valuable than that of a weapon refiner. Therefore, I was tasked with selecting fire workers alongside Yu Caiyue, to build relationships and serve as a lubricant between the two teams.

……

The Alchemy Pavilion. Fifth floor.

Zhang Lingshan, familiar with the route, arrived at the entrance of Huo Ran's alchemy pavilion.

This time, he didn't stand on ceremony and knocked directly on the door of the Alchemy Pavilion, saying, "I am Zhang Lingshan, a fire-tending boy in the Weapon Refining Pavilion. I have been temporarily assigned here and have come to report for duty."

"hehe."

Laughter came from inside, and the door creaked open.

Such speed, without any delay, shows that Huo Ran had been waiting for a long time, eagerly anticipating your arrival, and for this reason, he didn't even bother to refine the Pure Lotus Pill.

Zhang Lingshan pushed open the door and went inside. He saw Gu Nanxiang slumped on the ground, her face flushed and her whole body looking withered. It turned out that her water-based spiritual veins had completely dried up, leaving her utterly useless.

"Zhang Lingshan, this woman betrayed me, asking me to bring you over to be my permanent fire-tending servant. Her intentions are despicable. I'll help you cripple her. With such sincerity, what do you say?"

Huo Ran smiled and said.

Since his initial secondment, this was the first time Zhang Lingshan had seen Huo Ran smile; the man was better off not smiling at all.

He's annoying when he's not smiling, and he's quick to curse and has an impatient expression.

But at least he's still a human being.

Now, when he laughs, he looks like a cunning monkey, completely unlike a human.

"I never expected that Master Huo would value a mere fire-tending boy like me so highly. I am truly flattered."

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"hehe."

Huo Ran laughed and said, "You are not an ordinary fire-starting boy. You are a rare fire-starting boy with a mutated water-type spiritual root."

"With you here, I will no longer need to borrow fire-tending boys. You alone can help me refine the Pure Lotus Pill."

"Moreover, as far as I know, after you absorbed the Pure Lotus Pill, your water-type spiritual root actually showed signs of strengthening."

"In this way, your future growth will be even more surprising."

"At that time, our Pure Lotus Pills will not only be easier to refine, but their quality will also improve, and we will receive more and more rewards."

"In that case, you should thank me for borrowing you from the weapon-refining pavilion to be my fire-tending boy."

Huo Ran stroked his beard slightly, and said with a hint of pride, his face showing undisguised excitement, already looking forward to a bright future.

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Alchemist Huo Ran. Let's not delay and start refining the pills now."

"Haha."

He burst into laughter: "Good, good. It suits my taste just as well, much better than that good-for-nothing Gu Nanxiang. No, how can Gu Nanxiang be compared to you? She's not even qualified to carry your shoes."

After saying that, he turned to look at Gu Nanxiang and said, "Transfer all the merit points to Zhang Lingshan, and then get out of here."

Gu Nanxiang's expression changed. Her water-elemental spiritual root was already depleted, and she was already useless. If she returned to the weapon refining pavilion, she could only exchange her merit points for rice every day. There was no way she could refine materials. She could only live a life of eating and waiting to die, and she would rather die a full-bodied ghost.

but.

Now that Huo Ran is actually going to strip away all his merit points and give them to Zhang Lingshan for nothing, how is he supposed to exchange them for rice?

In the end, he will probably be expelled from the weapon-refining pavilion and sent to farm.

Having been in the weapon-refining pavilion for so long, Gu Nanxiang has gotten to know many people and has a good understanding of all aspects of the Anning Army.

She knew all too well how miserable those who farmed were.

If I were really sent to farm, I'd rather just die.

The problem is, once you're sent to farm, you don't even have the right to die. If you slack off even slightly, you'll be dragged away alive to be composted.

"Zhang Huogong, can't you help people restore their water-type spiritual roots? Please save me! I will serve you like a beast of burden, repay your kindness, and be your most loyal slave for eternity."

thump!
Gu Nanxiang, who had been looking weak and withered, suddenly found strength from somewhere and got up to kneel in front of Zhang Lingshan. She clung tightly to Zhang Lingshan's leg, grasping at this lifeline and refusing to let go.

"Gu Huogong."

Zhang Lingshan sighed, "I'm just a lowly fire-tending boy. What merit do I have? How could I possibly take in slaves? You're forcing me to break the rules of the Weapon Refining Pavilion, defying the world, and putting me on the hot seat. If the Weapon Refining Pavilion finds out I'm secretly taking in slaves and flaunting my power there, I won't even know how I died. So, I can't help you."

"I won't be a slave, I just beg Zhang Huogong to save me."

Gu Nanxiang cried out urgently.

Zhang Lingshan said, "If you won't be a slave, then why should I save you? Are you just bored and have nothing better to do?"

"Hahaha."

He burst into laughter: "Not bad, not bad, you're vindictive, I like that. Alright, take her merit points, throw her out, and then use her merit points to exchange for Clear Spring Pills, and come here to refine them. I'll wait for you to finish refining them, and then we'll refine Pure Lotus Pills. How about that, not bad for you, right?"

"Thank you, Master Huo."

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands in greeting, then grabbed Gu Nanxiang, erased her merit points, and threw her to the stairwell.

Here, the manager of the Alchemy Pavilion will take care of her and send her away, so I don't need to worry about it.

If it were the Refining Pavilion, it would be a serious crime for someone to so arrogantly steal another person's merit points, and they would be punished by the Refining Pavilion.

However, this is the Alchemy Pavilion, which has special privileges. He decreed that Gu Nanxiang's merit points be stripped, and who would dare to object?

The manager of the Alchemy Pavilion has no interest in upholding justice for you, Gu Nanxiang.

and so.

Gu Nanxiang is finished.

No matter how much she cried and screamed, Zhang Lingshan didn't even glance at her. Instead, after exchanging for the Clear Spring Pill, he returned to Huo Ran's alchemy room.

That scoundrel wants to observe me refining the Clear Spring Pill up close; who knows what kind of wicked scheme he's plotting.

Zhang Lingshan cursed inwardly, but it was not convenient for him to directly disobey orders on the surface, so he obediently sat down cross-legged and began to refine the Clear Spring Pill in front of Huo Ran.

Anyway, his water-type spiritual root is the Xuanbing Tree in the Root Mansion, which is hidden inside the Root Mansion. Huo Ran could not see even a trace of it unless he stuffed his dog head into the Root Mansion.

All he could see was the water-based spiritual energy that Zhang Lingshan released from the Ice and Fire Pool in his Pill Mansion.

Why not release water-based spiritual energy from the Root Ice Tree?

Because the Xuanbing Tree is ice-based, not purely water-based. Only when you go to the Ice and Fire Pool will it become water-based.

Moreover, the water system in the Ice and Fire Pool is gentler and less likely to be noticed by people.

Therefore, Zhang Lingshan naturally chose to release himself from the Ice and Fire Pool.

Most importantly, the water-based spiritual energy in the Ice and Fire Pool is mixed with fire-based spiritual energy, which is perfect for his identity as a water-based fire-starting boy.

"good."

After quietly observing Zhang Lingshan refining the Clear Spring Pill for a while, he suddenly nodded and said, "Your speed in refining the Clear Spring Pill is very fast. Others are not on the same level as you. Moreover, your water and fire spiritual roots are intertwined, which is simply the most perfect water-flame combination. You were born to help me refine the Pure Lotus Pill!"

"I see."

Zhang Lingshan suddenly realized: "I never thought I was born to do this. I've found my direction. Thank you, Master Huo Dan."

"Haha."

Huo Ran seemed oblivious to Zhang Lingshan's sarcastic tone and laughed loudly, "Since that's the case, let's begin. Let me see the true power of your water-based flames. Last time you held back, so it wasn't enough. If you hold back this time, what use are you?"

At the last sentence, his expression suddenly changed, and he reverted to his familiar demeanor. (End of Chapter)
