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

As a meticulous master of time management, Zhang Lingshan said that it would take two and a half hours to refine one batch, and that meant it would definitely take two and a half hours.

During this time, Ding Hong remained seated cross-legged, showing no emotion.

at last.

The pills were produced; they were seven top-grade Pure Lotus Pills.

"Master, I have not failed you."

Zhang Lingshan said.

"good."

Ding Hong nodded and said, "However, you can only refine a maximum of four batches a day, which is only twenty-eight pieces. This does not meet my requirements. You should be punished!"

Zhang Lingshan hurriedly said, "The next batch of mountain slaves can refine eight pieces, and in short, we will definitely be able to gather thirty pieces. Please be lenient and do not punish me."

"Haha."

Ding Hong laughed loudly: "I was just joking, look how scared you are. Don't panic, what kind of person do you take me for? Do you have such a bad temper?"

Zhang Lingshan said, "Everyone knows that the master is beautiful and kind-hearted."

Ding Hong said, "Alright, instead of flattering me, you should focus on refining pills. Seeing that you haven't been slacking off lately and have accumulated so many high-grade Pure Lotus Pills, someone will specially deliver spirit rice to you later. You don't need to worry about anything else, just find a way to improve your efficiency."

That's all.

Ding Hong then put away the superior-grade Pure Lotus Pill, turned around, and disappeared.

Not long after she left, someone indeed brought her spirit rice.

The newcomer was a strong woman with very low cultivation; she was practically an ordinary person in the immortal realm, a genuine servant, even lower in status than Zhang Lingshan.

Because this strong woman couldn't speak, and she didn't look up at people, she just delivered the rice in an orderly manner, and took it away after Zhang Lingshan finished eating, that was all.

"Next time, bring two more bowls."

Zhang Lingshan said.

The strong woman remained silent, and it was unclear whether she had heard or not, or even if she had, whether she was entitled to serve two more bowls.

but.

The next day, to Zhang Lingshan's surprise, the other party actually sent two more bowls.

Although it was all low-grade spirit rice, Zhang Lingshan was glad to have something to eat, so he wasn't picky.

He's content as long as he can refine pills peacefully every day and steadily improve his strength; he asks for nothing more.

While refining elixirs during these days, Zhang Lingshan also secretly broke through to the third level of the Myriad Laws True Scripture.

Although on the surface it is still the Xuanxian cultivation of the Xuanhai Ningbo Technique, in reality it has already changed its appearance and its strength has greatly improved.

Unfortunately, without more Cold Jade Crystals to absorb, and without Immortal Elixir or Immortal Liquid, even though the Myriad Laws True Scripture is incredibly powerful, without these Immortal Spirit fuels, he cannot improve in a short time.

Fortunately, Zhang Lingshan still had some food in his pouch space. Every day, Zhang Zixin would bring him cooked high-quality spiritual rice, which helped improve his cultivation, physical body, and energy points.

Although it's slow, as long as he continues, Zhang Lingshan will definitely break through to the Golden Immortal realm in the future.

In addition, he now refines the top-grade Pure Lotus Pills into fifteen pills per batch, and four batches would yield sixty pills. He can then steal thirty pills a day, which is three times the ten pills he originally planned.

Based on this calculation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, at this pace, I only need to secretly consume food for ten years for my Immortal Spirit Body to break through to the Lesser Completion stage.

Just thinking about it makes me feel more motivated.

Amidst this fulfilling alchemy and cultivation, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Ding Hong came many times, and each time she was very happy. She took away the top-grade Pure Lotus Pills that Zhang Lingshan had refined, and she was too lazy to count them, because she knew that the mountain servant would not dare to lie to her.

Sometimes when Zhang Lingshan came to collect his elixirs, Ding Hong would see his haggard appearance and even reward him with immortal elixir to help him recover.

After all, Zhang Lingshan was her alchemy apprentice, one of her most valuable assets, a lucky charm who could continuously generate wealth. She certainly couldn't exploit him too much; she still had to give him some benefits to ensure a steady flow of income.

……

Damn it!

With a bang, an old woman's figure crashed through the wall and appeared in front of Tang Feiling, the head of the Alchemy Pavilion, her eyes blazing with fury.

"Master."

Tang Feiling was taken aback and hurriedly bowed, saying, "You've emerged from seclusion, why are you so angry? Could it be that you've encountered a problem with your comprehension of fire-based killing techniques?"

"Humph."

Lu Zhaohe sneered, "How long are you going to keep this from me?"

"What are you hiding from me?" Tang Feiling asked, puzzled.

Lu Zhaohe angrily said, "Still pretending to be stupid! Zhang Lingshan was rescued by Ding Hong and is now refining high-grade Pure Lotus Pills under Ding Hong's guidance. This has caused quite a stir in the city. Everyone is laughing at me, Lu Zhaohe, for being blind and handing over a precious genius to someone else. You dare to say you don't know?"

"This……"

Tang Feiling hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Master, I know, but knowing is meaningless and won't change anything. I didn't tell you because I was worried that you would be angry and that it would affect your comprehension of the fire-type killing move."

Lu Zhaohe sneered: "So, I should thank you for thinking of me?"

"Master, please forgive me."

Tang Feiling didn't argue, knowing it was pointless. She first admitted her mistake and accepted the punishment, then changed the subject, saying, "But how did you know, Master?"

"Humph."

Lu Zhaohe sneered, "Did you think I had no one else to rely on besides you? I have plenty of information channels. The moment I came out of seclusion, I received a flood of messages, all asking me what exactly happened to Zhang Lingshan. I was so angry I almost vomited blood. Damn it, I should have just killed him beforehand. How could I have suffered such humiliation!"

Tang Feiling grasped the key point and said, "Congratulations, Master, on mastering the fire-type killing move. Others' ridicule is nothing but a tickle. If they were to witness Master's fire-type killing move, they would know that letting Zhang Lingshan go is not a big deal."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaohe's mood improved, and she smiled smugly, saying, "Not bad. The fire-type killing move that I have just comprehended is called the Ash Bone Needle Technique. This technique uses flames to seep into the opponent's bones, creating an effect similar to Ash Bone Fire Poison, so that the opponent can also experience the pain that I went through back then, hahaha."

"Congratulations, Master, on mastering your divine skills and becoming the strongest in Anning City. You are now invincible."

Tang Feiling hurriedly called out.

As a well-behaved child raised by Lu Zhaohe since childhood, no one is better at flattering Lu Zhaohe than her.

She knew Lu Zhaohe's temperament and preferences perfectly; she even knew the number of moles on Lu Zhaohe's buttocks. Once she started flattering her, Lu Zhaohe couldn't possibly resist.

"Hahaha."

Lu Zhaohe laughed heartily, her mood indeed quite different, but she still humbly said, "That's an exaggeration. I wouldn't dare say I'm number one in Anning City, but ranking in the top five is absolutely no problem."

Tang Feiling said, "Master has made great progress, and now he has personally come out of the mountains. Our Alchemy Pavilion will surely make further progress this time."

Lu Zhaohe said, "That's right. It's time to take it a step further. Otherwise, they'll dare to make a fuss in front of us. Now, you immediately contact all the branch commanders of the Anning Army. Zhang Lingshan was born a member of our Anning Army, and he will be used as fertilizer for the Anning Army even in death. How can we let him be given to others for no reason? Especially that little Ding Hong, does he even deserve to lay a finger on our people?"

"Yes."

Tang Feiling immediately responded.

Inside the Refining Pavilion, in the Pavilion Master's refining room.

Sima Yue immediately stopped his weapon-forging activities when the jade pendant at his waist moved, his face showing surprise.

"Master, what's wrong?"

The book on tools and writing asks questions.

Sima Yue looked puzzled and said, "I have good news and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear?"

Qi Shuyan said in surprise, "Master, when did you learn to joke? I've been refining weapons here the whole time, I'm not going anywhere, so why would I talk about good news or bad news?"

Sima Yue smiled upon hearing this and said, "You'll know once I tell you the good news."

"What is it?" Qi Shuyan asked.

Sima Yue said, "Zhang Lingshan, your good companion who ascended with you, is still alive."

"What!?"

Qi Shuyan was so shocked he almost jumped up, his face showing utter astonishment. It took him a long time to recover before he burst into laughter: "Haha, I knew Dashan was a lucky man and wouldn't die so easily."

"Don't get too excited yet, there's still bad news."

Sima Yue poured cold water on the situation, saying, "Zhang Lingshan was taken away by Ding Hong and has been refining top-grade Pure Lotus Pills for her every day, which has displeased Lu Zhaohe, the elder of the Alchemy Pavilion. Lu Zhaohe is now calling a meeting of all the branch commanders of the Anning Army to put pressure on Ding Hong to bring Zhang Lingshan back."

Upon hearing this, Qi Shuyan pondered for a long time, then asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is this bad news? Master, Zhang Lingshan is one of our people. If we can really bring him back to the Alchemy Pavilion from Ding Hong, you can borrow him to our Weapon Refining Pavilion. He can also help you refine the water-fire magic weapon that you've been longing for. This should be good news, right?"

Sima Yue shook his head and said, "Sigh, silly child, do you really only know how to refine weapons and know nothing about anything else? If you were Ding Hong, and you had Zhang Lingshan, a precious talent who could refine high-grade Pure Lotus Pills, would you just hand him over?"

Qi Shu said, "I won't. But my abilities are limited, so I have to send it whether I want to or not, since we're facing the Anning Army. Although I don't know who Ding Hong is, he must be wary of the Anning Army."

"Of course we are wary. But the Ding family is not simple either. They have protectors in the capital of our Great Qing Dynasty, so they are not easy to deal with."

Sima Yue analyzed: "In my opinion, there are two possible outcomes."

"First, our Anning Army could offer a high price to buy Zhang Lingshan back, but the possibility of that is too low, and Lu Zhaohe is absolutely unwilling to suffer such a loss."

"After all, Zhang Lingshan was given away by her and then bought back at a high price. It's like spitting it out and then eating it back. It's laughable."

“Others might compromise based on a balance of interests, but Lu Zhaohe is not that kind of person.”

"Therefore, there is only the second outcome."

"That means we can't reach an agreement, so we'll split up and kill Zhang Lingshan. Then no one will be able to get him."

Sima Yue felt that his analysis made a lot of sense, and he couldn't help but nod as he spoke, as if he agreed with himself.

Qi Shuyan was startled and said, "Kill Dashan? Isn't that harming others without benefiting oneself? Even if Lu Zhaohe is willing to do it, the Ding family won't compromise. After all, according to Master, the profits from high-grade Pure Lotus Pills are boundless. Why would the Ding family kill Dashan, a high-grade Pure Lotus Pill master?"

Sima Yue said, "Of course the Ding family is unwilling, but they have no choice. Because a large number of high-grade Pure Lotus Pills have already broken the balance in Anning City, the City Lord's Mansion will not watch the Ding family grow stronger because of this, so it will also take advantage of the pressure from the Anning Army to put pressure on the Ding family. At that time, either everyone will share Zhang Lingshan, or Zhang Lingshan will be killed and no one will have it, returning to the previous balance."

“Then let’s share it. As long as the mountains can survive,” Qi Shu said.

Sima Yue said, "Sharing is certainly good, then we can get him to help us forge weapons. But, I don't have the final say. Alright, there's no point in talking to you anymore. You continue forging weapons here, I'm going to a meeting. The Anning Army hasn't gathered in a long time, and Lu Zhaohe is making such a big fuss as soon as she comes back. This woman really hasn't changed at all."

After casually making a comment, Sima Yue vanished from the room in a flash, leaving Qi Shuyan alone in a daze.

He had accepted the fact that Zhang Lingshan was dead, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Not only was Zhang Lingshan alive, but he also became a key figure in the entire Anning City and was caught in a new storm.

However, even after becoming a key figure, he was not free; instead, he became a thorn in everyone's side.

Those who could not possess him all wanted to kill him so that others would not have him.

Faced with this situation, what should the mountains do?
Qi Shuyan couldn't help but feel worried.

But as Sima Yue said, his worries were useless.

Not only is his worry useless, but Zhang Lingshan's worry as the person involved is also meaningless.

Being insignificant and powerless is the original sin.

No one cares about the opinions of these insignificant people; their lives and deaths are entirely at the mercy of the powerful figures.

Paddy field area.

In a simple wooden house, an old man who looked like an old farmer waved his right hand, and a woman dressed in a green dress rushed over, knelt on the ground, and said with trepidation, "Wei Cuicui greets the Domain Lord."

"Stand up and speak."

The old farmer domain lord said, "Do you remember Zhang Lingshan? It seems he came here to grow spirit rice?"

Wei Cuicui said, "I remember, he was sent here because his water-type spiritual root was destroyed by Zhao Xian, an internal traitor in the Alchemy Pavilion, and he could no longer refine the Pure Lotus Pill. However, he was very lucky. After eating a lot of high-grade spiritual rice, he actually recovered his water-type spiritual root and returned to the Alchemy Pavilion. I heard that some people are now saying that Zhang Lingshan is refining high-grade Pure Lotus Pills under Ding Hong's command. I don't know if it's true or not."

The old farmer said, "Take me to the rice paddies where Zhang Lingshan planted his spirit rice."

He seemed uninterested in the superior-grade Pure Lotus Pill, but more interested in Zhang Lingshan.

Wei Cuicui was puzzled. Zhang Lingshan had been away from the paddy field area for so long, so why was he going to look at his old paddy field? What could he possibly see there?
Although she was puzzled, she still honestly replied "yes" and took the domain lord with her.

……

City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the council chamber.

The Green Robe Faction and the Purple Robe Faction gathered together again, and under the presiding of the City Lord, they began a council meeting.

"Yu Shaoqing, Zhang Lingshan was taken away by Ding Hong right under your nose. You need to explain this!" (End of Chapter)
