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

Inside a secret room in the Ding residence.

Zhang Lingshan sat cross-legged in a pool of cold jade. The flush on his face had long since faded, replaced by a livid expression.

If Lu Zhaohe were here, she would have discovered that the Ash Bone Fire Poison on Zhang Lingshan's body had actually been suppressed and was no longer spreading.

If one were to observe more closely and use one's divine sense to examine Zhang Lingshan's entire body, one would discover that Zhang Lingshan's water-based spiritual root had also begun to slowly recover.

The reason why such a change was possible was entirely due to the Cold Jade Pool where Zhang Lingshan was located.

Cold jade is a solid, consisting of individual crystal pieces.

Therefore, the so-called Cold Jade Pool is not a real pond, but a deep pit filled with a large number of Cold Jade Crystals, which release icy energy to help Zhang Lingshan suppress the Ember Bone Fire Poison.

Similarly, it was precisely because the cold air released from this cold jade crystal contained a large amount of pure water-based spiritual energy that it was able to help Zhang Lingshan restore his water-based spiritual root.

Why would Ding Hong, who has no relation to Zhang Lingshan, spend so much money to help Zhang Lingshan?

There is no free lunch in the world.

If someone were to observe Zhang Lingshan closely, they would notice that there is now a scar between his eyebrows.

The scar was somewhat distorted. If you looked closely, you would notice that the scar would occasionally twist, which was very strange, as if it were alive.

In fact, it is alive.

This is a Soul-Devouring Worm larva, which grows by absorbing Zhang Lingshan's soul. Once it matures, Zhang Lingshan's soul will be devoured, and the adult Soul-Devouring Worm will take over his body and replace him.

To survive, you must either remove the worm or prevent it from absorbing your soul.

Getting rid of this insect is extremely difficult.

As everyone knows, if your consciousness touches this insect, it will devour you. Moreover, the insect will become excited due to the stimulation and begin to burrow into your brain.

If you don't use your divine sense to touch it, you can only see the scar, but not the worm inside.

Moreover, as time goes by, the scars will slowly heal, and the Soul-Eating Worm larvae will completely hide inside the flesh. At this point, even the scars will be invisible, and they cannot be touched with divine sense. So how can this worm be removed?

Therefore, the first path is not feasible.

Then we can only take the second path: prevent this insect from absorbing our souls.

If the insect is unclaimed and only possesses foolish insect instincts, then this path is also blocked, because insect instincts will keep drilling into the brain.

Fortunately, the worm had an owner, Ding Hong.

So as long as Zhang Lingshan does not disobey Ding Hong's orders, the insects will go into hibernation and will not devour his soul.

If he disobeys Ding Hong's orders, or even just makes Ding Hong a little unhappy, Ding Hong will control the Soul-Eating Worm larvae to devour his soul and burrow into his brain to cause trouble.

He had already experienced that kind of pain once when the Soul-Eating Worm larvae were inserted into Zhang Lingshan's brow, and he never wanted to experience it a second time.

and so.

He was always very cooperative, doing whatever Ding Hong asked him to do.

Just like now, Ding Hong asked him to use the Cold Jade Pool to suppress the Ember Bone Fire Poison and restore his water-type spiritual root, so he did as instructed.

Although he didn't know what Ding Hong wanted him to do after recovering, the cold jade crystals in the Cold Jade Pool were indeed extraordinary, being excellent for accumulating energy points. He would absorb them even without Ding Hong's instructions.

"good."

On this day, Ding Hong suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Lingshan, carefully examined him, and then smiled and said, "Good mountain slave, your water-type spiritual root talent is indeed extraordinary. You have not wasted my Cold Jade Pool. This is the second half of your Profound Sea Condensing Wave Technique. Comprehend and cultivate it well, and break through to the Profound Immortal realm as soon as possible. Then you can expel the Ash Bone Fire Poison."

That's all.

Ding Hong threw another gourd into the Cold Jade Pool, saying, "This is the Fire Control Gourd. After you force out the Ash Bone Fire Poison, put it into this gourd."

"Yes."

Zhang Lingshan nodded.

In the blink of an eye, Ding Hong's figure vanished again, appearing and disappearing without a trace, making her elusive.

'This woman is also a Golden Immortal, her strength is no weaker than that old vile woman Lu Zhaohe, but she is much younger, and she possesses a rare treasure like the Soul-Devouring Worm larvae. She is simply more troublesome and hateful than Lu Zhaohe.'

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but curse inwardly.

I've just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another.

Compared to being exploited by that old bastard Lu Zhaohe before, here I am being taken care of, with the Cold Jade Crystal Stone to absorb, and I am also given the second half of the Xuanhai Ningbo Technique, a Xuanxian cultivation method.

However, this is not a good thing.

Just like in the Alchemy Pavilion, the Alchemy Pavilion helped them improve so that they could refine pills better.

Ding Hong helped Zhang Lingshan break through to the Xuanxian realm, which was definitely to use him.

What's even more despicable than the Alchemy Pavilion is that, although the Alchemy Pavilion restricted his freedom, it didn't plant such disgusting things as Soul-Devouring Worm larvae in Zhang Lingshan.

This shows that Ding Hong is an even more ruthless woman.

Of course, Lu Zhaohe was also ruthless. She directly used Zhang Lingshan as a vessel for the Ember Flame Poison, making him sacrifice his life to help her recover, thus consuming him in one go.

In contrast, Ding Hong planted the Soul-Devouring Worm larvae in herself to slowly and steadily exploit Zhang Lingshan.

'Oh shit.'

Zhang Lingshan cursed the two of them countless times in his heart.

Anyway, there are countless divine consciousnesses that can be separated from his soul tree. Some of these divine consciousnesses curse every day without stopping. It's a way to relieve his frustration, and it doesn't harm him. So why not curse?

Of course, he mainly focused his attention on absorbing the cold jade crystal.

But that was before.

Now, he must begin to comprehend the second half of the Mysterious Sea Condensing Waves Technique, a profound immortal cultivation method.

As a genius with a water-based spiritual root, wouldn't it be a lack of genius if he were slow in comprehending cultivation techniques?

Since he had already been infected with the Soul-Eating Worm larvae, Ding Hong was not afraid of his betrayal at all. On the contrary, the more outstanding he was, the more Ding Hong would benefit.

So what's there to be afraid of if you've shown exceptional talent?
At this point, there's absolutely no need to keep a low profile.

and so.

In just half a day, Zhang Lingshan immediately began to use the Profound Sea Condensing Wave Technique to break through to the Profound Immortal realm.

Fortunately, there are plenty of cold jade crystals here to provide water-based spiritual energy. You can absorb them as you like, and breaking through will be a natural and effortless process.

of course.

Zhang Lingshan still couldn't act too extraordinary, otherwise he estimated that Ding Hong would dissect him for research, or directly replace him with a Soul-Devouring Worm.

Therefore, he did not use the Myriad Laws True Scripture, but simply used the Profound Sea Condensing Wave Technique to break through to the Profound Immortal realm.

in this way.

His cultivation speed naturally remained at a relatively genius level, and his absorption speed of the Cold Jade Crystal was also relatively reasonable.

If they didn't do that, but instead directly used the Myriad Laws True Scripture to absorb the Cold Jade Crystals, even though these Cold Jade Crystals seemed like a lot, they wouldn't be enough to absorb. In less than a few days, Zhang Lingshan would have completely absorbed them all.

Wouldn't that scare people to death?
Although the cultivation speed of the Profound Sea Condensing Wave Technique is not even a fraction of that of the Myriad Laws True Scripture, it doesn't matter; we can just wait it out.

As the days went by.

On this day, Zhang Lingshan's Xuanxian realm was completely stabilized, and there wasn't much Cold Jade Crystal left.

At the same time, his water-based spiritual root also showed signs of complete recovery.

in this way.

That will force out the Ember Bone Fire Poison.

Of course, this is only how it appears to outsiders.

In fact, while Zhang Lingshan was cultivating, he had already devoted a significant portion of his divine sense and the power of the Myriad Laws to deducing the Ember Bone Fire Poison. At this moment...

In the panel.

【Ember Poison Fire: Beginner, 1 Rang/100 Rang】

The 1 in the progress bar represents what he gained from continuously comprehending and engaging with the Ember Fire Poison.

Unfortunately, the speed is too slow. It has only improved by 1 level in so long. It will take at least ten years for the Ember Bone Poison Fire to break through to the entry level.

Moreover, for the past ten years or so, he has had to live with the Ember Bone Poison Fire in order to continue his comprehension.

This would have too much of an impact on cultivation and would also put one in danger from time to time, making it too low a cost-benefit ratio.

Just then, Ding Hong forced himself to force the Ember Bone Fire Poison into the Fire Control Gourd.

Zhang Lingshan naturally went with the flow and began to use the Profound Sea Condensing Wave Technique to force out the Ash Bone Fire Poison.

Anyway, you can add points later, and figuring things out on your own is too slow. Even a fool knows which option to choose.

time flies.

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Lingshan finally managed to force the Ash Bone Fire Poison into the Fire Control Gourd.

At that moment, Zhang Lingshan had just consumed all the Cold Jade Crystals in the Cold Jade Pool.

Swish.

Ding Hong seemed to know everything that was happening here. Not long after Zhang Lingshan forced out the Ember Bone Fire Poison, she reappeared in the secret room.

With a swift movement of her right hand, she snatched the Fire-Controlling Gourd and burst into laughter: "Good, good, good mountain slave, you have indeed not disappointed me. Now that you have recovered, there is no point in you staying here. It is time for you to do something meaningful for me."

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Lingshan said honestly.

Ding Hong frowned and said, "Don't call me master. Outsiders will think I've done something to you. Just call me Miss Hong. As long as you behave well and do your job properly, treasures like the Cold Jade Crystal and the cultivation method to break through to the Golden Immortal realm will all be yours."

"Yes, Miss Hong, I will never forget your great kindness."

Zhang Lingshan said.

Ding Hong frowned again: "When it's just the two of us, you should refer to yourself as a mountain slave and call me your master. Be aware of your place!"

"Yes, Master. The mountain servant understands."

While agreeing, Zhang Lingshan cursed Ding Hong and his ancestors for eighteen generations.

That bastard changes his tune every now and then, trying to play me for fools.

You really think you can control your grandpa with your damn Soul-Eating Worm larvae?

If it weren't for the fact that Grandpa had only recently broken through to the Xuanxian realm and didn't have a flying magic weapon, plus the fact that staying with you would have been beneficial, Grandpa would have already devoured the Soul-Devouring Worm alive and left.

grandma's.

Once Grandpa cultivates to the peak of the Xuanxian realm, he'll find an opportunity to kill you, then kill Lu Zhaohe, and then Yu Shaoqing.

Damn it, kill them all!
No one knew that Zhang Lingshan could use his divine consciousness to vent his emotions, so the Zhang Lingshan that Ding Hong saw was so honest and obedient, so obedient that he didn't have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

Ding Hong's original plan was that if Zhang Lingshan showed even the slightest displeasure, even if he just frowned or trembled, she would control the Soul-Devouring Worm larvae to teach him a lesson.

But to his surprise, this guy was a complete coward, completely lacking in temper. He couldn't even find a reason to teach him a lesson.

but.

do not care.

As the master, why would I need a pretext to discipline a servant?
then.

Ding Hong immediately controlled the Soul-Eating Worm larvae to burrow into Zhang Lingshan's brain.

"what!"

A piercing scream echoed through the secret chamber as Zhang Lingshan writhed and rolled on the ground.

Half a day passed.

Ding Hongcai stopped abruptly and said, "Do you know why you're being punished?"

"Please enlighten me, Master."

Zhang Lingshan said in a soft voice.

Ding Hong snorted, "Because you called me by the wrong name. Remember that when you go out, don't call me by the wrong name. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Master."

Zhang Lingshan still maintained his honest and unassuming demeanor.

Ding Hong's face showed a satisfied expression.

now it's right.

If you fall into my hands, you'll be either a dragon or a tiger, so you'll have to coil up or lie down. Not to mention you're neither a tiger nor a dragon.

Little servant, I'll use you to amuse myself if I want to, otherwise all my Cold Jade Crystals and Soul-Devouring Worm Larvae would have been wasted.

"Mountain Slave, do you know why your master saved you?" Ding Hong asked again.

Zhang Lingshan said, "Please enlighten me, Master."

"Useless! You always need me to tell you everything. Don't you have a brain at all?"

Ding Hong cursed and snorted, "Think about it, what use are you, a piece of trash? Tell me."

Zhang Lingshan said, "The mountain servant is skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting. He is a top-grade Pure Lotus Alchemist and a bronze-level weapon crafter."

"Hahaha."

Ding Hong laughed loudly: "Good mountain slave, you're not entirely stupid. That's right, I'm keeping you alive, giving you the Cold Jade Crystal, the Profound Sea Condensing Wave Technique, and the Fire Control Gourd to force out the Ash Bone Fire Poison—all because you're a top-grade Pure Lotus Pill Master. So, do you know what you're going to do for me now?"

"I, Shan Nu, will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to refining top-grade Pure Lotus Pills for my master," Zhang Lingshan said earnestly.

"Hahaha. Good, good, good!"

Ding Hong smiled even more happily.

I don't know if I'm happy because I've trained them well, or because I know I can make a fortune next.

In short, Zhang Lingshan's next task was settled.

Just like the previous task in the Alchemy Pavilion, refine a high-grade Pure Lotus Pill!

The difference is that here, he is all alone, and there is no one else who can help him.

There was no Huo Ran, nor any other water-type fire-starting children.

Everything depends on Zhang Lingshan alone.

This shows that Ding Hong never actually established an alchemy business. She just had a sudden whim and realized that she had this skill, so she wanted to have someone refine high-grade Pure Lotus Pills to help her make money.

The fact that she could have such an idea, wanting to suddenly interfere in the Pure Lotus Pill market of Anning City, shows just how precious the top-grade Pure Lotus Pill is.

Therefore, the cold jade crystals she consumed were probably insignificant.

Of course, the reason why others don't have Cold Jade Crystals while Ding Hong does is due to his own abilities.

Therefore, Zhang Lingshan is in their hands, not in the hands of Lu Zhaohe or Yu Shaoqing. (End of Chapter)
