The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 326 The Prophecy of the Five Poisons
Wang Wu came here specifically for the spirit liquid. Of course he wanted it, but since he was currently in Yueshan, he had to conceal it.

So he asked out of curiosity, "Uncle Chen, besides black iron and spirit liquid, what other treasures could there be in this warehouse? Could it be the Five Elements Spirit Pill? If so, I might be willing to exchange for some."

"Haha! Young Master Shan, we don't have Five Elements Spirit Pills. Besides, every Five Elements Spirit Pill has to be approved by the Immortal Alliance from refining to selling. We're not qualified here. If you really want to exchange for them, you can go to Cloud Cauldron City. I heard that the alchemists there have just obtained a batch of Five Elements Spirit Pills, the highest grade is seventh and the lowest is ninth. If you want them, Young Master Shan, you'd better hurry. They're always in high demand and can't be delayed."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen. Then give me the spirit liquid." Wang Wu nodded and readily agreed.

Chen Damao then laughed and said, "Young Master Shan, don't be impatient. We've recently acquired some really good treasures in this warehouse, and you've come at just the right time. Otherwise, they would have been sent to Yunding City next month. Young Master Shan, come and take a look."

Having said that, it flipped its hand, and an object appeared in front of Wang Wu like a projection. This object was as red as magma, but it was not magma. A rich aura of refined metal was faintly emanating from it.

"This is... iron essence?"

Wang Wu looked at it for a few seconds before asking with some hesitation and surprise. To be honest, he didn't recognize it either, but luckily he had four mediocre people with him.

"Young Master Shan has a good eye. That's right, it's an Iron Spirit, a strange creature similar to a Stone Demon. It was dug out from a Xuan Iron Mine, and only a Xuan Iron Mine of this size can hatch it. In addition, the Xuan Iron Mine we discovered this time is suspected to be the lair of the strange creatures here. If we dig deeper, there might be even more treasures."

“Young Master Shan, we’re all on the same side. Of course, we should check the good stuff ourselves first. Otherwise, once the news gets to the Immortal Alliance, to be honest, even if you want it, you might not be able to get it.”

Chen Damao then spoke with a smile.

Wang Wu was overjoyed. "Thank you, Uncle Chen. I'll take this iron essence. Please calculate it for me, Uncle Chen."

“Very good, very good. Actually, this was specially ordered by Young Master Wudu, and it was reserved for you, Young Master Shan.” Chen Damao said again, and then took out two rather large wooden boxes. The wood used to make these boxes was the heartwood of ancient trees.

Wang Wu didn't even look at it, and threw it directly into his storage bag. He might not believe in the Five Poisons, but how could he not believe in this old servant?
"Uncle Chen, I have to go to Yunding City now, so I'll take my leave. Please take good care of yourself."

Wang Wu clasped his hands in a respectful and polite manner, and these two polite words seemed to have greatly pleased Chen Damao.

"Young Master Shan, wait a minute. Do you want to buy the Five Elements Spirit Pill in preparation for breaking through to the first rank?"

"Indeed, I have gained some insights after this seclusion, but I don't know if I can succeed. So I want to buy Five Elements Spirit Pills to help me. Of course, I dare not forget my master's teachings. This is just an attempt. I still need to be down-to-earth and lay a solid foundation."

Wang Wu behaved just like a good student.

And Yue Shan was always like that, except that he sometimes did bad things...

"In that case, Young Master Shan, the Master is in the North Sea and has no time to attend to matters. However, you are the only prodigy under the Master's tutelage who has the potential to advance to the first rank. This old servant still has some authority here, so I will add another ten million dou of spiritual energy and three treasures to Young Master Shan. In this way, when Young Master Shan goes to Yunding City, he can find Grandpa Huang and have him take you to purchase Five Elements Spirit Pills. He will be able to purchase some, however little."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Chen. If Master blames me in the future, I am willing to take full responsibility."

Wang Wu was overjoyed and deeply moved.

What a wonderful sect, what a wonderful family!

"Hehe! Young Master Shan, what are you saying? How could the Master blame this old servant for such a thing? The Master is very perceptive. Hurry up and go. You can use the teleportation array. If you are late, it will really be too late."

Chen Damao had a kind and benevolent face. Advancing to the first rank was a big deal, just like a college student coming out of the village. All kinds of resources had to be allocated to him.

Without further ado, Wang Wu bid farewell to Chen Damao, left the warehouse, and headed straight for the teleportation array.

After he left, a sickly figure suddenly emerged from the warehouse.

Chen Damao gave a wry smile. "Young Master Wudu, this is definitely Young Master Shan. We've verified it countless times. He is Young Master Shan. Please stop being so willful."

That sickly figure was none other than the Five Poisons.

“I know, I know, it’s absolutely true, but I have this problem, I’ve had it since I was a child, I’m extremely suspicious, I don’t know why, Uncle Chen, I feel like I’m going crazy, I just feel like this senior brother isn’t real, he’s Xiong Wu in disguise. You can’t just use common sense to speculate about Xiong Wu, so I have to go to the Great Snow Mountain, I have to go and see.”

"Young Master Wudu, the master's task for you is to guard Xuan Tie City. How dare you leave without permission? I'll use the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission to find Songpizi and have it confirm this, shall I?"

"That's not a good idea, it'll alert them! If this Yue Shan really is Xiong Wu in disguise, Song Pizi will definitely be implicated. He... he's almost flawless, he's practically Yue Shan himself!"

"Oh my, Young Master Wudu, he was originally Young Master Shan!"

"No, no, no, you don't understand, you old codger, what do you know!"

"Alright, alright, this old servant doesn't understand, but Young Master Wudu, your old injuries haven't healed yet, you really shouldn't be traveling."

"It's alright, I'll go to Yunding City too. I'll secretly follow him. I'll suspect he's an imposter. At worst, he'll find out and make a scene with Master, then Master can confirm whether it's true or not. But Uncle Chen, you have to cover for me. Just pretend nothing happened. Being punished by Master is a small matter; it's a big deal if Xiong Wu takes advantage of the situation. Understand?"

"Understood, this old servant understands!"

Chen Damao blinked, feeling utterly exhausted.

This wasn't the first time. Wu Du had been neurotic since he was a child, always suspecting this and that, especially Yue Shan, who was the same age as him. Many times, he caused a huge commotion, even insisting that Yue Shan was a monster. In the end, things always escalated to the point that the magistrate had to step in to resolve them.

That's so pitiful; it's probably another relapse.

"Don't you dare speak ill of me in your heart!" It was as if Wudu had guessed what Chen Damao was thinking. His senses had become incredibly sharp at this moment, and he could sense whatever a first-grade demon was thinking.

If Wang Wu were here right now, he would immediately realize that Wu Du must possess some kind of innate ability similar to his danger perception, or even a higher level of danger perception...

"No, no, no, this old servant didn't think of anything, this old servant swears!" Chen Damao waved his hands repeatedly and fled. This young master of the Five Poisons was truly someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Because Lu Wuchen dotes on him the most!

It's like having an illegitimate child.

No, no, no, it dared to speak ill of the master!

It truly deserves to die.

Inside the large warehouse, the sickly Five Poisons still whispered to themselves. Cold light shone down, illuminating their pale faces. Their eyes were wide open, their pupils vertical, like those of a snake...

"I can't be wrong. Yue Shan is a bear demon. I've had this feeling for hundreds of years. Maybe before that, my senior brother Yue Shan was still human, but ever since he met Xiong Wu, he was very likely replaced by Xiong Wu. Although this is too absurd, even impossible, my feeling, hiss, my feeling, can't be wrong, can't be wrong..."

After a long while, Wudu's body even convulsed. He fell to the ground, then twisted and crawled up, like a snake...

But he struggled to take out a peculiar pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and a moment later, he seemed to suddenly wake up from a deep sleep, looking at his surroundings as if they were very unfamiliar.

"Damn it! He's caught it again. What's the trigger this time? Could it be that unlucky senior brother Yue Shan again?"

At this moment, Wudu's voice was cheerful and sunny, and he was no longer sickly but lively and interesting, just like a normal person. He was completely different from the person he was not long ago.

At this moment, he took out a strange bronze mirror from his bosom, cast a spell, and the bronze mirror immediately reflected everything that had happened in the past hour.

In the bronze mirror, he was perfectly fine one moment, but suddenly became sinister and terrifying the next. At the same time, Wang Wu, disguised as Yue Shan, appeared on the west coast.

Then came a series of dialogues and reenactments of scenes until he uttered those words.

"Ha! This is really nothing new. This is the tenth time already."

Wudu smiled slightly, but his smile was filled with immense excitement.

Because, three hundred years ago, he was only six years old, Yue Shan was also six years old, and Xiong Wu had not yet been born. He had an illness once, and at that time he insisted that Yue Shan was a bear in disguise.

Then, the second time was 270 years ago.

The third time was 240 years ago.

……

The eighth time was a hundred years ago. Every time he had an attack, he would say that Yue Shan was a bear demon. But after the eighth attack, he suddenly said that Yue Shan was Xiong Wu in disguise.

Originally, everyone was used to it, and the master even went to the Western Wilderness to wipe out the last generation of the Ancient Bear King's entire family.

But then a bear demon who had slipped through the net appeared in the Western Wilderness. It called itself Xiong Wu, so its master went to great lengths to deploy a large formation in the Centipede Ridge area. For the sake of a mere bear demon, it did not hesitate to postpone the attack on the Great Snow Mountain.

At that time, many people thought his master had gone mad, but only Wudu himself knew that the reason for everything was himself.

He seems to possess some mysterious and terrifying ability to foresee the future.

He didn't know what kind of strange illness it was; he only knew that his master doted on him exceptionally, and at times, his doting gaze was just like that of a father.

But who is his mother?
He didn't know, had never seen it, and his master had never mentioned it.

Now, this is the tenth time he has fallen ill. In his illness, he is absolutely certain that the person who just saw Yue Shan was Xiong Wu.

The prophecy has come true.

Can't go wrong.

Can't go wrong.

Is the purpose of Xiong Wu's existence to bring deadly disaster to the human race by impersonating Yue Shan?
It's just a pity for his kind-hearted senior brother Yue Shan; he's probably already dead by now.

Since the prophecy has come true, then everything else has lost its meaning.

However, perhaps Master is playing a bigger game, which is why he arranged for Senior Brother Yueshan to be sent to the Great Snow Mountain.
"Such an important matter must be reported to Master in person! I cannot act on my own."

“But my master is far away in the North Sea, and I cannot go there, so I must find my master’s wife…”

At this moment, Wu Du actually resembled a normal cultivator...
