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

"what happened?"

Lin Bai stared at the box and asked, somewhat puzzled.

Actually, the guard who had called him earlier had already reported to him, but upon seeing the box, he couldn't help but ask a question, though he didn't expect anyone to answer; it was more like talking to himself.

But the guard who had been standing guard there honestly replied, "Commander Lin, there is a person in this box. He was sent by the Alchemy Pavilion. They said he is a genius who can refine high-grade Pure Lotus Pills. However, this person has not moved at all, and has remained like this since the beginning. We don't know if he is already dead."

"He is not dead."

Lin Bai had already used his divine sense to probe inside the box and said, "However, his condition is not right. None of you should touch him, and don't let anyone get close. I'll go and inform the Lord of the Tower so he can make the decision."

"Yes."

The two guards immediately responded.

Lin Bai then left in a hurry.

It took him half a day to arrive with Yu Shaoqing, who was dressed in a blue robe.

But Yu Shaoqing didn't come alone; he was accompanied by a woman in red.

Before they could get close, the woman in red suddenly stopped and said, "Don't go any closer, it's the Ash Bone Fire Poison."

"Emberfire Poison?!"

Lin Bai's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale with shock.

The infamous Ember Bone Fire Poison has actually appeared here.

Moreover, he had previously used his divine sense to investigate the contents of the box.

Fortunately, the Ember Flame Poison could not adhere to the immortal consciousness, otherwise he would have been contaminated by the flame poison in just one strike.

This sent a chill down Lin Bai's spine, and he learned a lesson: he must never rashly use his divine sense to investigate anything strange in the future.

This time we were lucky, but what if we're unlucky next time and encounter hellfire?
Yu Shaoqing frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why would the Alchemy Pavilion have Ash Bone Fire Poison?"

The woman in red said, "I've heard a rumor that Lu Zhaohe went out to explore some ruins with a group of people, but she seemed to have been injured and fled in a hurry, disappearing without a trace. Could it be that she was contaminated by the Ember Bone Fire Poison and returned to the Alchemy Pavilion to heal her wounds?"

That's all.

The woman in red looked puzzled and said, "But it's only been half a year since she disappeared. How did she transfer the Ember Flame Poison to this unfortunate guy in the box?"

Lin Bai said, "The alchemy pavilion manager who delivered the box said that it contains a genius who can refine a high-grade Pure Lotus Pill."

"That makes sense now."

After being reminded, the woman in red nodded and said, "An alchemist who can refine a high-grade Pure Lotus Pill must have an extraordinary water-type spiritual root, and because he is a high-grade Pure Lotus Pill master, his fire-type spiritual root is also not weak. Therefore, he can both suppress the Ember Bone Fire Poison and absorb the Ember Bone Fire Poison."

Yu Shaoqing said, "So, Lu Zhaohe used this person's water-type spiritual root to suppress her own Ember Bone Fire Poison and then transferred it to this person's fire-type spiritual root?"

That's about it.

The woman in red nodded and said, "I didn't expect Lu Zhaohe to be so lucky. She was clearly poisoned by the Ember Bone Fire, and there was no cure, but their Alchemy Pavilion just happened to have such a talented person who could be her scapegoat. What good luck! Lu Zhaohe is bound to have good fortune after surviving such a calamity. Don't provoke her easily in the future."

Yu Shaoqing said, "This old woman clearly doesn't care about the alchemy pavilion anymore, so who provoked her back? And this first fire has to burn my head, what bad luck."

Lin Bai said, "Master, do you know why she's taking her anger out on us? Guess who the person in this box who can refine high-grade Pure Lotus Pills is? She sent this person over just to annoy us."

After saying that, Lin Bai answered his own question, saying, "This person is Zhang Lingshan, the newly promoted alchemy lad we ordered Zhao Xian to kill back then!"

"It's this kid?!"

Yu Shaoqing was taken aback and said, "The fact that this kid didn't die back then was already beyond our imagination. But even though he didn't die, wasn't his water-type spiritual root destroyed by Zhao Xian at the cost of his life? After that, he was sent to the paddy fields of Anning Army to farm. How come he suddenly regained his water-type spiritual root and can even refine high-grade Pure Lotus Pills? When did he refine them? How come we didn't receive any information about it? Was it in the last six months?"

Lin Bai said, "After I used my divine sense to observe that the box contained Zhang Lingshan, I immediately ordered someone to find relevant information. It said that this kid ate a large amount of high-grade spiritual rice and recovered his water-type spiritual root, and returned to the alchemy pavilion. What happened after that is unknown. But now it seems that he has advanced to a high-grade Pure Lotus Alchemist and was then used as a scapegoat by Lu Zhaohe."

"Just such a coincidence?"

Yu Shaoqing said speechlessly, "It seems that Lu Zhaohe is indeed very lucky. Just as she returned to the Alchemy Pavilion, Zhang Lingshan also recovered his water-type spiritual root and returned to the Alchemy Pavilion. He even advanced to the level of a high-grade Pure Lotus Alchemist, which just happened to help her transfer the Ash Bone Fire Poison. It's really wonderful!"

The woman in red said quietly, "That's why I said, don't provoke Lu Zhaohe in the future. She can turn even such a major crisis into an opportunity. In addition, she has absorbed Zhang Lingshan's water-based spiritual root, so she must have made a breakthrough and become even more troublesome. Provoking her is a thankless task, and you're likely to lose everything."

"That's right."

Yu Shaoqing nodded and couldn't help but sigh.

This troublesome old woman sent Zhang Lingshan here not only to disgust herself, but also as a warning—a warning to herself not to reach into the Alchemy Pavilion again.

Back then, Zhang Lingshan was able to work with Huo Ran to refine a mid-grade Pure Lotus Pill, which put pressure on their City Lord's Mansion. They thought that if they ordered Zhao Xian to fight to the death, they could get rid of this scourge.

Unexpectedly, after so many years of twists and turns, not only was this scourge not eliminated, but it also ended up in his hands and became a hot potato.

“Ding Hong, you know more about the Ember Bone Fire Poison. Zhang Lingshan is currently a poisoned person with the Ember Bone Fire Poison, so I dare not touch him. I will trouble you to take him away.”

Yu Shaoqing said helplessly.

Ding Hong smiled slightly and said, "That's fine, but you'll owe me a favor."

Yu Shaoqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, the doors of Qingfeng Tower are always open for you. Whatever information you need, as long as Qingfeng Tower has it, we will provide it to you free of charge."

"Hehe, I'm not interested in your information. If anything comes up in the future, I'll let you know, and you can't refuse."

Ding Hongdao.

Yu Shaoqing said, "I understand. Then you should take him away quickly, he's bothering me."

Ding Hong nodded, took out a pair of gloves from her ring and put them on. Then she walked closer to the box, lifted it up with both hands, and then leaped over, flying dozens of feet away before disappearing without a trace.

……

Weapon Refining Pavilion.

Qi Shuyan truly deserves his reputation as an unparalleled genius in weapon crafting. During the years Zhang Lingshan spent farming in the paddy fields, he had steadily risen to the sixth level and become a Jade Token Weapon Crafter, several years earlier than Zhang Lingshan returned to the Alchemy Pavilion to become a Jade Token Alchemist.

now.

He even became a disciple of the Pavilion Master of the Weapon Refining Pavilion.

The head of the Weapon Refining Pavilion was a middle-aged man in a blue robe named Sima Yue.

He accepted Qi Shuyan as his disciple not only because he valued Qi Shuyan's talent, but also because he needed Qi Shuyan's innate ability to forge artifacts to help him refine a treasure.

After personally teaching him for several years, he believed that Qi Shuyan's abilities were sufficient, and that this refining would surely be successful.

However, there is still one problem.

This magical artifact is a combination of water and fire, but they lack a craftsman with a water-based spiritual root.

The water-based weapon refiners under my command are all somewhat lacking in ability. Although they can succeed in refining the artifact with my assistance, it still feels imperfect and they cannot bring the artifact to its best state.

Therefore.

Sima Yue was somewhat worried. According to his plan, this magic weapon would be of great use to him when he went to the ruins to search for treasures in the future. If it was not refined perfectly, and something went wrong in the ruins, resulting in him failing to obtain the treasures there, then he would suffer a great loss.

Therefore, you must never compromise.

“Master, I have a candidate to recommend.”

Upon learning of Sima Yue's worries, Qi Shuyan finally found an opportunity and immediately said, "Zhang Lingshan, the Qi Master who ascended with me, is a water-type weapon refiner. He is exceptionally talented and was even transferred by the Pill Refining Pavilion to help refine the Pure Lotus Pill. If Master can bring him back, he can definitely help Master refine the most perfect magic weapon!"

"Him?"

Sima Yue shook his head and said, "He's already dead."

"died!?"

Qi Shuyan looked utterly shocked and said in a trembling voice, "How did he die? How could he possibly die? It's impossible!"

Sima Yue said, "Don't get agitated. Saying he's dead isn't accurate, but he hasn't appeared since Ding Hong took him away, and neither has Ding Hong. Who knows, they might reappear at any time."

That's what they said, but it was really just to comfort Sima Yue. He didn't believe Zhang Lingshan could still be alive and out.

It's possible that Ding Hong could emerge alive, since she wasn't poisoned by the Ember Bone Fire Poison.

However, even if Zhang Lingshan didn't die, he would have been turned into a charred rock by the Ember Bone Fire Poison, becoming a human charred rock. It would have been better for him to die.

In short.

Zhang Lingshan's experience was just a minor episode in Anning City; he was just a nobody who had ascended to power, not worth mentioning.

What's worth noting is the rumor sparked by Zhang Lingshan appearing at the entrance of Qingfeng Tower with his box, leading everyone to speculate that Lu Zhaohe has returned to the Alchemy Pavilion and is even stronger and more troublesome.

Thinking about this, Sima Yue had an even bigger headache.

If Lu Zhaohe hadn't returned, he could have talked to Tang Feiling and asked her to borrow Huo Ran to provide water-based flames. With the help of a water-based weapon refiner from their side, they could create a magical artifact that combined water and fire to a great extent.

but.

Lu Zhaohe, that eccentric old monster, is back. Sima Yue dares not utter a word about it.

If he were to displease Lu Zhaohe, Sima Yue would be in deep trouble.

I'm afraid that not only will they be unable to transfer Huo Ran over, but they will also lose many of their water-type talents from the weapon-refining pavilion.

That would be terrible.

As everyone knows, it's best for no one to provoke Lu Zhaohe right now.

and so.

Sima Yue could only give up, shaking his head inwardly and sighing at his bad luck.

If only I had Lu Zhaohe's luck, she could get whatever she wanted. Even the Ash Bone Fire Poison had someone deliver it to her door to help her absorb and transfer it as a scapegoat. She was so lucky.

Sima Yue, however, couldn't even find a single talent specializing in water-related matters.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.

'If I had protected Zhang Lingshan to the death back then and kept him in my weapon-refining pavilion, he could probably be helping me refine weapons now. Alas, what a pity.'

Sima Yue couldn't help but have this thought in his mind, feeling extremely regretful.

I can only blame myself for not being firm enough at the time, and Zhang Lingshan's abilities weren't that outstanding, so I gave up on him.

Unexpectedly, this kid went to the Alchemy Pavilion and actually grew into a top-grade Pure Lotus Alchemist, which is truly unbelievable.

Most importantly, this kid had his water-type spiritual root destroyed during that time, but when he went to the paddy field to grow spiritual rice, his water-type spiritual root grew back, which shows how extraordinary his water-type spiritual root is.

With his help, why worry about the magic weapon not being perfect?
What a pity, what a pity.

Sima Yue felt a deep sense of regret, when suddenly Qi Shu asked, "Who is Ding Hong, and why did he take Zhang Lingshan away?"

"This is a long story..."

Sima Yue valued his disciple Qi Shuyan highly, and since he was also feeling troubled and had nowhere to pass the time, he decided to chat with him.

After hearing what he said, Qi Shuyan's eyes went blank, and he was completely lost in thought.

He never imagined that so many things would happen after Zhang Lingshan went to the Alchemy Pavilion.

Back then, I was able to get into the Weapon Refining Pavilion through Yi Chen's back door thanks to Zhang Lingshan.

Otherwise, I'd probably still be growing spirit rice in the paddy fields, just like Song Yi did back then.

Later, on the first floor of the weapon refining pavilion, if Zhang Lingshan hadn't helped him improve his flames, he wouldn't have been able to advance to the second floor so quickly.

It should be noted that his talent for writing and speaking only became useful from the second level onwards.

In other words, without Zhang Lingshan's help to clear the way to the second level, his talent would have been completely useless, and he would have had no chance to become the disciple of Pavilion Master Sima Yue.

Everything he possesses now is based on the help he received from Zhang Lingshan, who provided him with tools and writings.

As everyone knows, this immortal realm is so dangerous. If he is not careful, Qi Shuyan might die somewhere, and his talent for weapon crafting will not have a chance to be fully utilized.

It can be said that without Zhang Lingshan's protection along the way, Qi Shuyan would not be where he is today.

At this moment, he had already embarked on the right path of cultivation and had the Pavilion Master of the Weapon Refining Pavilion as his backer.

Good days are just around the corner, and the future is bright.

Along with his friends Wei Sheng, Song Yi, Shi Yong, Yu Caixing, Yu Caiyue, and others, they also had something to look forward to.

but!

Unexpectedly, his guide and protector disappeared.

Moreover, he was taken away and disappeared while carrying the poison of the ash bone fire.

Although Qi Shuyan didn't know what the Ash Bone Fire Poison was, he could tell from Sima Yue's tone that once poisoned, there was almost no cure.

Not to mention that Zhang Lingshan was actually transferred there by someone using the Ember Bone Fire Poison.

As a vessel, even if he were only a peak True Immortal, or even a Profound Immortal or Golden Immortal, he would surely die.

Thinking of this, Qi Shuyan couldn't catch his breath, blood gushed from his throat, he fell backward and fainted.

"Oh dear, why are you so anxious about your heart attacking your chest..."

Sima Yue helped Qi Shuyan up, muttering something under his breath, somewhat speechless.

Despite his old appearance, this disciple was probably less than a tenth of Sima Yue's age; he was just a child.

Look at him, he actually fainted upon hearing the news of his ascended companion's death; it shows he still has the mentality of a child. (End of Chapter)
