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

Chapter 760 The Scorched Earth Old Woman! A Wise Person Knows When to Refuse

"Quickly, put away the pill and give it to me."

Wei Chongqian called out urgently.

Zhang Lingshan gestured with his right hand, sending the pills into a small porcelain bottle, saying, "There are only four. Fortunately, they are all top-grade."

"That's enough!"

Wei Chongqian took the small porcelain bottle and rushed out of the room without delay.

In fact, there are still three days left until the one-month mark, and I don't know why he's in such a hurry.

"We finally succeeded. I wonder what kind of reward we'll receive from above."

Huo Ran couldn't help but exclaim expectantly, "This is the first time our Alchemy Pavilion has produced a high-grade Pure Lotus Pill. Alchemist Zhang, you have truly set a precedent. In addition to granting you a Xuanxian (Mysterious Immortal) status, your alchemist status will certainly be elevated as well. Above the Jade Token Alchemist, I'm afraid the only other position is that of the Vice Pavilion Master."

"You must not speak recklessly, you must not speak recklessly!"

Zhang Lingshan said with a smile.

……

"Sect Master, Zhang Lingshan has successfully refined four top-grade Pure Lotus Pills. Is that enough?"

Inside the room, behind the screen, Wei Chongqian knelt on one knee, presenting a small porcelain bottle with both hands.

Swish.

A gentle force took the small porcelain bottle away, saying, "Not bad. You've done a good job supervising it; you can now advance to the Xuanxian realm."

Wei Chongqian was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, Pavilion Master!"

Before he could finish speaking, a gentle force came from inside the screen and pushed him out.

Before Wei Chongqian could react, someone said, "If you want to advance to the Xuanxian realm, come with me."

Wei Chongqian looked up and saw a robust old man with white hair who was a head taller than him. The man looked down at him, giving off an inexplicable sense of oppression. He was obviously a Xuanxian expert.

"Yes."

Wei Chongqian immediately agreed and followed the man.

At this moment, he had almost completely forgotten about Zhang Lingshan and Huo Ran.

Even if he hadn't forgotten, he wouldn't have had the chance to speak to the Pavilion Master.

Therefore, he had no idea what reward Zhang Lingshan and Huo Ran would receive for refining the superior-grade Pure Lotus Pill.

And this has nothing to do with him anymore.

After advancing to the Xuanxian realm, his status will be elevated, and the affairs he manages will also change.

Minor matters like urging Zhang Lingshan and Huo Ran to refine pills would naturally be handled by others, so it wasn't Wei Chongqian's place to worry about them.

at this time.

In the room of the Alchemy Pavilion Master, a barely perceptible clicking sound suddenly rang out.

then.

The bed spun rapidly to the other side of the wall, and at the same time, a faint light flickered.

With a light step, the Pavilion Master slowly got off the bed, then knelt down in the center of the room and said, "Master, the superior-grade Pure Lotus Pill has arrived."

Swish!
A tremendous force suddenly swept up and snatched the small porcelain bottle of Pure Lotus Pill from the Pavilion Master's hand.

Then a crunching sound was heard. The other person was so anxious that they didn't even open the porcelain bottle. They put the Pure Lotus Pill and the porcelain bottle into their mouth and chewed them together.

Half a day passed.

Then, the voice of that person came from the center of the room. It was an extremely hoarse voice, like the sound of a stone being rubbed together: "Anyone who can refine a high-grade Pure Lotus Pill must have an extraordinary water-type spiritual root. They are of great use to me. Bring that person over here."

"Master."

The Pavilion Master said, "The superior-grade Pure Lotus Pill is extremely valuable. If he can refine it successfully once, he will definitely be able to refine it a second and a third time. He is a golden goose that lays golden eggs. Given time, he will surely make our Alchemy Pavilion the largest alchemy pavilion in the entire Anning City. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must not destroy this golden goose."

"You dare disobey me?"

The hoarse voice became even hoarser, carrying a chilling aura.

The Pavilion Master quickly replied, "This disciple wouldn't dare. This disciple is merely offering a small suggestion. It's rare for our Alchemy Pavilion to encounter such a genius in alchemy; we must make good use of him and not exhaust his resources. You established the Alchemy Pavilion yourself; you wouldn't want it to miss such an opportunity, would you?"

"How dare you!"

The hoarse voice roared in anger, and an immense force immediately crushed down, knocking the sect leader to the ground, causing him to vomit blood.

"This disciple dares not, but since his refining of high-grade Pure Lotus Pills is also useful to Master, why must we bring him here and let him continue refining high-grade Pure Lotus Pills? In time, Master can also recover."

Despite coughing up blood, the pavilion master remained steadfast in his resolve and continued to persuade him.

"You don't know anything."

The hoarse voice hummed, "Do you know how dangerous it is outside right now?"

"If people knew that half of my body had been charred into rock, do you know how many people would rush up and devour our Alchemy Pavilion?"

"You only know how to refine pills in the alchemy pavilion, how could you know how much pressure your master is under outside?"

"If it cannot be restored in time, the entire Alchemy Pavilion will probably cease to exist, let alone talk about carrying forward and glorifying it."

Seemingly aware of his disciple's temperament, the hoarse voice, though angry, finally sighed and said, "Bring him over first."

"You said that this person's stomach was blown apart and his water-type spiritual root was damaged, but he could recover his water-type spiritual root by planting spiritual rice in the paddy field. It can be seen that after I used his water-type spiritual root, he also had a chance to recover."

"At that time, I will arrange for someone to provide him with a large amount of high-grade spiritual rice to help him restore his water-based spiritual root."

"Once he recovers, we will grant him the title of Xuanxian. This is his great opportunity, and he will be grateful to us all."

"After all, how many people who have ascended to heaven have actually reached the level of Xuanxian over the past tens of thousands of years?"

"Moreover, the quota for Xuanxian is so scarce that we don't even have enough of our own people. It is an honor for him to be able to ascend to immortality."

Now that things have been said, if the Pavilion Master remains stubborn and opposes his master, the pressure he will face will likely be more than just a simple aerial attack.

"Yes, Master."

Knowing he couldn't disobey his master, the sect leader could only nod, get up, issue a command to reactivate the formation, and return to his own sect leader's room.

A moment later.

Then someone outside called out loudly, "Sect Master, Zhang Lingshan has been brought here."

"Come in."

The pavilion master's gentle voice came through.

'Is it a woman?'

Zhang Lingshan was secretly surprised. He had always thought it was a man, and an old man at that, but he did not expect it to be a woman. Her voice sounded very young, and she seemed to be younger than him.

Unbelievable.

If a woman can truly take charge of the entire Alchemy Pavilion at such a young age, she must either have a powerful backer or be extremely capable.

Either way, they are people Zhang Lingshan cannot afford to offend.

Of course, even if the other party were just a dog, Zhang Lingshan couldn't afford to offend him, given his position as the head of the Alchemy Pavilion.

and so.

With a creak, Zhang Lingshan carefully pushed open the door, bowed and said, "Zhang Lingshan, the Jade Lotus Elixir Master, greets the Pavilion Master."

"No gift."

The Pavilion Master said calmly, "You are exceptionally talented and have created miracles. You have made great contributions in refining the superior-grade Pure Lotus Pill. Someone wants to see you. Come with me."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Lingshan felt an overwhelming force coming towards him, causing his entire body to tense up. He instinctively wanted to unleash his full power to shatter this force.

However, to Zhang Lingshan's horror, even if he wanted to unleash his full power, he couldn't; his body was essentially bound by that immense force.

The opponent clearly did not use a magic weapon like the Immortal Binding Rope, yet achieved the effect of such a magic weapon.

The opponent's strength is evident.

'Is this the difference between me and a Xuanxian expert?' Zhang Lingshan was secretly shocked.

The gap is too big.

Even if I unleash my Xuanjin Body, I might not be able to defeat my opponent, but I might have a chance to break free from their restraints.

But what can you do after breaking free from those constraints?

The opponent hasn't activated their magic weapon yet.

If the opponent activates a magical artifact, how should I respond?

Upon hearing the mention of magical treasures, Zhang Lingshan immediately sent his divine sense to the other party's storage ring.

If we can steal the flying artifact from the other party's ring, we might still have a chance to escape.

but.

The moment his divine sense touched the restriction on the other party's storage ring, the other party seemed to sense it, and the restriction inside the ring twitched slightly.

Zhang Lingshan immediately stopped.

Because he moved and stopped very quickly, the Pavilion Master seemed to notice something unusual, but he didn't find anything particularly wrong, so he didn't dwell on it.

After all, there were more important things waiting for her.

Gaden.

The bed rotated, revealing the room behind it.

Zhang Lingshan saw an old woman, her lower body as withered as scorched earth, sitting in the center of the room.

Of course, at the same time, he also saw the Pavilion Master.

The sect leader was dressed in a white dress, with a dignified and beautiful face, a graceful figure, and an otherworldly temperament—truly a peerless beauty among immortals.

However, Zhang Lingshan is not interested in her for the time being.

Because the old woman's appearance was more distinctive, more attractive, and also more dangerous.

Most importantly, the old woman's yellowish-brown pupils stared straight at him, like a hungry tiger staring at a lamb, making Zhang Lingshan feel a chill run down his spine.

'Am I doomed to fail here today?'

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

However, even if the opponent is truly no match for him, he is unwilling to surrender.

If I can find even the slightest opportunity, I must take out a page of paper from the pouch and then slip into it.

Even if someone manages to take away a single page along with themselves, as long as they are alive, there is still hope for a turnaround. It's better than dying and disappearing completely.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Lingshan felt less flustered and knew what to do next.

At that moment, he felt the immense power that the Pavilion Master had been using to bind him disappear.

Presumably, Zhang Lingshan has already entered the den of thieves and cannot escape even if he wants to, so there is no need to waste energy controlling him.

"Greetings, senior."

Once Zhang Lingshan regained his mobility, he bowed slightly with his hands clasped in greeting.

Seeing that he was not shocked or afraid at all when he met his master, who was half-burnt to the ground, but instead greeted him with a respectful bow, the Pavilion Master couldn't help but show surprise. He looked at Zhang Lingshan for the first time with his peach blossom-like eyes and thought to himself, "This person must be a top figure in the mortal world. He has seen a lot."

but.

Many people have seen great things and have long since lost their pride through years of working in the fields, refining elixirs, farming, or other labor, but this person seems to have not lost his arrogance.

Of course, his arrogance was only so-so and not worth mentioning.

In the face of absolute power, even the most humble and dignified demeanor is merely an illusion.

Ultimately, he was still young, much younger than the other ascendants, and had too little experience, which is why he was ignorant and fearless.

Only those who have endured countless hardships know how terrifying it is to face a truly strong opponent.

Zhang Lingshan doesn't know fear, which is both a strength and a weakness.

Because some people like to see others be trembling with fear in their presence. If you are neither humble nor arrogant, the other person will make you tremble with fear.

Fortunately, the old woman didn't seem interested in that, and instead got straight to the point: "Zhang Lingshan, you are exceptionally talented and can refine high-grade Pure Lotus Pills. I need your help."

"How can I help you, senior?"

Zhang Lingshan said.

The old woman said, "You are cultivating the Profound Sea Condensing Wave Technique, which can condense huge waves. Although this technique is of a low grade, it excels in defense."

There's a saying that goes, "Flowing water doesn't compete for the lead, but for its endless flow." That perfectly describes this technique.

"Therefore, once this technique is mastered to a certain extent, its power is no less than that of other techniques."

"Moreover, this technique is not only good at defense, but also at healing."

"Running water never stagnates, and water benefits all things without contention."

"So, I need you to help me heal my wounds."

As the old woman spoke, her yellowish-brown pupils remained fixed on Zhang Lingshan without blinking, making her look extremely strange and terrifying.

However, Zhang Lingshan knew that it wasn't that the other party was deliberately putting on this strange look, but rather that the area above her thoracic vertebrae, although not scorched earth, dared not make the slightest unnecessary movement.

They didn't even dare to blink.

They were afraid that even the slightest movement would cause the scorched earth in other areas to fall.

And all that scorched earth was his body.

The falling scorched earth signifies the depletion of the physical body.

At her level, the depletion of her physical body is a terrifying thing; heaven knows when she can recover.

Therefore, he had to remain completely still, his eyelids twitching and his eyes daring not to move.

Once Zhang Lingshan understood this, he immediately devised a way to treat him.

but.

Who knows what kind of person the other party is? What if they're an ungrateful dog who turns on its benefactor? Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if you volunteered to save them?

and so.

Zhang Lingshan dared not rush to save the person on his own, but asked, "Senior, my strength is limited, and I do not know how to help you heal your injuries?"

"It's very simple."

The old woman said, "Just focus all your energy on circulating your Profound Sea Condensing Wave Technique. We are destined to meet, so you are cultivating this technique and don't need to change it. It is fitting that you are here today to help me recover. Don't worry, as long as I recover smoothly, you will certainly receive your share of the benefits."

Zhang Lingshan had no choice but to comply.

A powerful force descended upon Zhang Lingshan, instantly pulling him in front of the old woman.

Even though Zhang Lingshan was mentally prepared, he was still startled when he saw the old woman's yellowish-brown eyes and orange-peel-like face up close.

The other party pulled me over so quickly, and the sensory impact made me feel uncomfortable subconsciously.

"Aren't you going to circulate your cultivation technique?"

The old woman coldly retorted.

Zhang Lingshan knew that even if he didn't cooperate, the other party would definitely have a way to force him to circulate his cultivation technique.

Given the other party's understanding of the Xuanhai Ningbo Technique, all they need to do is control their meridians and use that great power to control the corresponding acupoints on their body, and the Xuanhai Ningbo Technique will naturally begin to operate.

Moreover, as the opponent continues to exert great power, the speed at which the technique operates will increase, eventually breaking free from Zhang Lingshan's control.

Therefore, rather than letting the other party do this, which would only increase the harm to Zhang Lingshan and forcibly exploit his water-type spiritual root, it would be better for him to cooperate honestly. At least he could control his own operation and suffer less harm.

Those who understand the times are wise! (End of Chapter)
