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

Where...am I?

The ghost slave's soul looked confused, looked up and looked around, and suddenly saw Sima Yue, and asked, "Sect Master Sima, where is this place?"

Sima Yue was taken aback and said, "It's Tang Feiling, the head of the Alchemy Pavilion. She's still conscious?"

"good."

Zhang Lingshan said, "There's a reason why we kept her here."

Having said that, he pushed with his right hand, sending a stream of divine dew into Tang Feiling's soul, and the soul, along with the divine dew, entered her physical body.

Wow.

A plume of white smoke rose.

After the white smoke slowly dissipated, Leng Yan and Chu Heng were shocked to discover that Tang Feiling's body and soul were indeed perfectly integrated, without the slightest flaw.

Doesn't this mean that they will also have the opportunity for such spiritual and physical union in the future?
"Mountain Lord, you are so powerful! We swear to be loyal to you to the death, and will serve you like an ox or a horse without any complaints!"

Leng Yan and Chu Heng immediately knelt down in unison.

Tang Feiling stared in astonishment at the scene. Before she could react, she felt a surge of power within her body, pushing her soul outward.

When her soul returned, she was no longer in a state of unity of body and soul; her head was still a little dizzy and her mental energy was unstable.

Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?

Tang Feiling felt greatly humiliated. Just then, a voice rang out, saying, "If everyone wants to improve their cultivation, alchemists are indispensable. So, how about we arrange for Tang Feiling to refine pills for everyone?"

"The mountain lord's thinking is thorough, far surpassing our own."

Everyone said in unison.

Tang Feiling looked at Zhang Lingshan in astonishment.

It turns out I didn't die, and the reason I didn't die was because the other party wanted me to be an alchemist.

"I remember now."

Tang Feiling finally came to her senses and looked at Zhang Lingshan, saying, "You are the Master of Jinglian Pavilion. I was the one who brought you to meet my master back then."

"good."

Seeing that her ghostly soul had finally stabilized, Zhang Lingshan said, "Firstly, I spare your life because you were somewhat kind-hearted and pleaded with Lu Zhaohe for me. Secondly, you locked me in the alchemy pavilion to refine pills, so today it's your turn to refine pills for me."

The cycle of heaven, the retribution is unhappy.

However, this retribution is not something given to you by God; it is something you earned yourself.

If Zhang Lingshan doesn't win over Tang Feiling, how can he get her to turn around and refine pills for him?

"I...I understand."

Tang Feiling sighed inwardly, knowing that the matter was settled and that she was now in the same situation as the workers in the alchemy pavilion back then.

They are even worse than those people.

Those people can also exchange merit points for corresponding cultivation resources.

He himself was merely a laborer, his soul and body restricted by Zhang Lingshan, and his treatment depended entirely on Zhang Lingshan's mood.

If someone is unhappy, you can't do anything about it even if you drain them dry. After all, you're just a lowly slave.

If someone is in a good mood, they might give themselves some cultivation resources or a chance to rest.

This is truly a sad thing.

If only I had known, I should have tried my best to stop Master from using Zhang Lingshan as a vessel, then we wouldn't be in this mess now.

"Alright, that's settled then. You can figure out how to build the alchemy room and weapon-forging room yourselves; don't bother me. Leng Yan, come here."

After giving his instructions, Zhang Lingshan led Leng Yan into a nearby cave and said, "The Dao of Weapons and the Dao of Alchemy have been passed down to others, but the Dao of Talismans will be temporarily passed down to you. This is the Frost Talisman; try to comprehend it."

Leng Yan took the booklet from Zhang Lingshan's hand, and the more she read it, the more shocked she became.

He was initially puzzled, wondering why such a thick booklet was needed for something as simple as an ice talisman.

Only now did he realize that it contained not only ice runes, but also other runic powers, a mixture of runic arts.

"Aren't you excited? Don't you also want to steal this booklet? But this time, you have to kill me to silence me, not like last time."

Seeing Leng Yan's gaze, Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but smile and say something.

thump.

Leng Yan immediately turned over and knelt down: "This servant would never dare to do that. I was blind to your greatness before and made a terrible mistake. No, if I hadn't been foolish before and offended the Mountain Lord, I wouldn't be able to receive the Mountain Lord's inheritance of the Dao of Talismans. The Mountain Lord is my benefactor, and this servant swears to be loyal to him to the death."

"Hahaha."

Zhang Lingshan laughed loudly, "Not bad, study it carefully and make our Lingshan Village stronger. If you do a good job, I will make you the deputy mountain master in the future."

"Yes, Lord Mountain, I will never fail you."

Leng Yan prostrated himself in admiration.

"Alright, go out and call Chu Heng in."

"Yes."

Soon, Chu Heng climbed in and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Mountain Lord."

"I see that you are exceptionally talented. I have given the inheritance of the Dao of Talismans to Leng Yan, and I will entrust the inheritance of the Dao of Arrays to you. Study it well and do not let my good intentions go to waste."

"Yes!"

Before Chu Heng could finish speaking, he saw Zhang Lingshan reach out and touch his forehead.

Wow.

The vast array of knowledge immediately overwhelmed his mind, and he instantly collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingshan waved his right hand, drawing a portion of soul power from the Yama Ghost Realm and sending it into the other's mind.

A moment later.

Chu Heng finally stopped convulsing and began to slowly digest this vast array inheritance.

The inheritance of array formations and the inheritance of talismans are different.

The difference lies in the fact that the lineage of talismanic arts is more complex. If it were directly applied to Leng Yan's brow, Leng Yan would not be able to withstand it at all.

Zhang Lingshan, on the other hand, had a more thorough understanding of the Dao of Formations and divided it into several categories.

What he was transmitting to Chu Heng at that moment was a part of the teleportation array and the defensive array.

As for killing formations, counter-formations, illusion formations, trapping formations, and so on, Chu Heng certainly couldn't digest them, so Zhang Lingshan didn't teach them to him.

Moreover, such a complex formation is not needed here.

As long as the defensive array can hold out for a while, Zhang Lingshan can teleport here. He can hold out for those who can withstand it, and for those who can't, he can teleport everyone to the Holy Son Peak of his Ice Spirit Sect.

While Chu Heng was unconscious in the cave digesting the array inheritance, Zhang Lingshan walked out of the cave and said to everyone, "Everyone is busy, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"Respectfully seeing off the Mountain Lord."

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed in unison.

Zhang Lingshan's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

Leaving behind the traditions of weapon crafting, alchemy, talisman crafting, and array crafting was a spur-of-the-moment decision by Zhang Lingshan.

If it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, shouldn't he have also left some people from the Alchemy Pavilion and Weapon Forging Pavilion instead of sending them all to be reincarnated?

In fact, according to Zhang Lingshan's thinking, if Huo Ran hadn't been crippled by Pang Mancang and had no chance of recovery, he really would have wanted to keep Huo Ran.

After all, besides Zhang Lingshan, he was the only Pure Lotus Alchemist in the Alchemy Pavilion.

There's no need to keep the others.

Because those who ascend to heaven have basically exhausted their luck on the ascension itself. Even those with good talent, such as those with heavenly spiritual roots who ascended at the time, were directly selected and none were left.

The rest are just ordinary people, and very few of them are capable of achieving anything, so there's no need to waste time and effort cultivating them.

If you have that kind of energy, you should use it to cultivate the native inhabitants of the immortal realm; the return on investment would be much higher.

Moreover, keeping so many ascended beings in Lingshan Village would lead to too much gossip and a greater risk of exposure. Therefore...

The current population is sufficient; there is no need to increase the population in the short term.

As instructed by Zhang Lingshan, they were allowed to recruit disciples freely and move around freely.

However, unless someone is mentally unstable, they wouldn't rashly go out and cause trouble.

According to Zhang Lingshan's estimation, if a disciple appears within a dozen years, that disciple's luck is already extraordinary.

all in all.

He didn't care much about what would happen next here, as long as there was no crisis of being wiped out.

His current focus is mainly on the top-grade spirit rice.

"Senior sister."

In mid-air, Zhang Lingshan paused slightly, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the distance, and said, "You've tracked me down again."

Granny Qian snorted and said, "Hidden whereabouts? What have you been doing? Is there something you're hiding?"

"Senior sister should know soon."

Zhang Lingshan smiled slightly and said, "But none of that matters. I have something to discuss with the sect leader. Senior Sister, please take me there."

"Humph."

Grandma Qian was quite displeased. This young man was still hiding things from her and didn't treat her, Grandma Qian, as one of his own.

Swish.

Suddenly, Granny Qian's right hand shot out and grew several feet long. She grabbed Zhang Lingshan's shoulder and lifted him up, sending him flying towards the main peak of the Ice Spirit Sect.

You don't treat me like one of your own, and you even dare to hide your whereabouts. I'll teach you a lesson.

"Ouch."

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but cry out in pain, saying, "Senior sister is so petty! Is this alright? This is not good. Ouch, ouch, ouch, I'm not going to say anything more."

Fortunately, the pain was only temporary, and the two quickly returned to the sect leader's peak.

Shen Zhixin still lives in her little thatched hut.

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands in greeting and, after receiving permission to enter the small thatched hut, went straight to the point: "Grandma, our Ice Spirit Sect is an ancient and powerful sect. Do you have any immortal crystals passed down through generations?"

"Immortal Crystals?"

Shen Zhixin's eyes narrowed slightly as she said, "What do you need that for? Where did you learn about immortal crystals? They're not something we can use at our level. Don't get any wild ideas and think they have some kind of life-altering effect. On the contrary, if used improperly, they could be fatal."

“I learned from ancient books that the finest spiritual rice is also called immortal spiritual rice or immortal rice. To grow immortal rice, one must have immortal energy. I need immortal crystals to grow immortal rice.”

Zhang Lingshan answered truthfully.

Shen Zhixin was taken aback, then her face darkened: "What do you do all day? You're still researching your so-called top-grade spirit rice."

“No, it’s Immortal Rice,” Zhang Lingshan corrected.

Shen Zhixin was furious. This kid was pretending to be stupid and was even changing the subject: "I don't care about your immortal rice or spirit rice. What you should be doing now is improving your cultivation and breaking through to the Immortal Lord realm as soon as possible. Don't waste your talent!"

"Celestial Lords naturally need to break through, but with the blessing of Immortal Rice, they can definitely break through even faster."

Zhang Lingshan said earnestly.

"you!"

Shen Zhixin suddenly raised her right palm, its cold light flashing, as if she wished she could kill Zhang Lingshan with a single blow.

However, she ultimately held back.

This person is, after all, their Ice Spirit Sect's Holy Son, their only Holy Son in so many years. How could they bear to kill him outright?

Shen Zhixin suppressed her anger and disappointment towards Zhang Lingshan and asked, "Do you really want the immortal crystals?"

"Yes, whether the Immortal Rice can be successfully made depends entirely on it," Zhang Lingshan said, secretly delighted. Could it be that Shen Zhixin really possessed such a treasure?

Shen Zhixin said, "It's not impossible for you to have immortal crystals. As long as you break through to the Immortal Lord realm, I can give you immortal crystals."

Zhang Lingshan was stunned, feeling that the other party was trying to trick him.

Strictly speaking, it's just empty promises.

Zhang Lingshan is always making empty promises to others, and he just made promises to Leng Yan and Chu Heng. How could he not know what Shen Zhixin meant?
The problem isn't the empty promises; the real issue is that Shen Zhixin might not actually possess any immortal crystals and was simply trying to force Zhang Lingshan to break through to the Immortal Lord realm, which is why she lied to him in the heat of the moment.

"Are there really immortal crystals?"

Zhang Lingshan asked, "Grandma, could you take it out and let me see it?"

Shen Zhixin said, "There is no immortal energy in the Immortal Realm now because immortal energy dissipates. If immortal crystals want to be preserved, do you think they can be preserved in the current Immortal Realm?"

This statement makes sense.

Zhang Lingshan nodded.

Shen Zhixin continued, "Therefore, only special secret realms can preserve it. Once you break through to the Immortal Lord realm and enter the inheritance realm of our Ice Spirit Sect's supreme secret technique, there will be Immortal Crystals there. Go and find them."

As expected, there were no immortal crystals at all.

If the immortal crystals are right there in the inheritance secret realm, why would we need to search for them? We could just use them right there.

of course.

It's also possible that there are indeed immortal crystals hidden inside, which even Shen Zhixin couldn't find, which is why they've remained there, waiting for Zhang Lingshan, the chosen one, to obtain them.

But that possibility is too low.

It's just self-comfort.

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It's no wonder that the Ice Spirit Sect, once a powerful sect throughout the ages, has fallen to this state. They don't even have immortal crystals anymore; their foundation is too weak.

It's practically impossible to get any immortal crystals from here.

"I'm going back to cultivate."

Zhang Lingshan bowed and took his leave.

Shen Zhixin nodded slightly: "That's right. Cultivate well. Don't worry about the Immortal Lord spot. I'll get it for you."

"Are there still no Immortal Lord positions available?"

Zhang Lingshan was slightly surprised.

Given the status of the Ice Spirit Sect, it's understandable that they might not be able to get a Celestial King spot, but surely getting a Celestial Lord spot shouldn't be that difficult too.

Shen Zhixin said, "You are the Holy Son, so I won't hide it from you. Ji Buyi is about to reach the Perfection of Immortal Lord and needs an Immortal King quota. Therefore, our Ice Spirit Sect will do everything we can to secure this Immortal King quota, and we'll put the Immortal Lord quota aside for now. Once we get the Immortal King quota, we'll try to secure the Immortal Lord quota for you. Anyway, it will take you more than ten years to reach the Perfection of Golden Immortal, so it won't affect anything."

More than ten years?
Who are you underestimating?

Zhang Lingshan was speechless.

At the average person's pace, it would have taken at least twenty years for them to break through to the Golden Immortal realm in the Golden Immortal Pavilion, even for a peerless genius with sufficient resources to reach the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

The fact that Shen Zhixin estimated Zhang Lingshan's cultivation speed over the past ten years, considering him as a potential saint, already shows that she thinks highly of him.

but.

For Zhang Lingshan, given sufficient resources, it wouldn't take more than a decade.

'It seems I'll have to rely on myself for the Immortal Lord spot; I can't count on the Ice Spirit Sect.'

Zhang Lingshan secretly passed through.

Fortunately, she subdued Leng Yan, and she was able to get Chu Heng a Golden Immortal status. Maybe she can also get him a Celestial Lord status.

Let's ask her first.

According to Zhang Lingshan's estimation, if everything goes smoothly, once the Ice Spirit Sect actually gets the Immortal King spot, he might have a chance to compete with Ji Buyi for it.

Of course, as a holy son, that's not called competing; Ji Buyi would voluntarily give up the spot to him.

After all, the Holy Son's breakthrough is more valuable, isn't it? (End of Chapter)
