Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 19 The Threat from the Jindan Monk

"Senior brother, the five of us are the five brothers of the Zhong family. I'm sure you have heard of this."

The leading disciple from the Spirit Beast Mountain of the Zhong family bowed slightly and spoke with a slightly arrogant look.

Although Zhao Shuang captured the black-scaled dragon beast and was extremely powerful, they were cultivators from the Zhong family, and with the five of them working together and using magic weapons and spells, there was really no need for them to be too wary of Zhao Shuang.

Not to mention, he has a trump card.

Therefore, even when asking for help, his attitude was not very good, but he was not rude and he did not worry about safety issues.

He just felt that Zhao Shuang was really unfamiliar and had no impression of him at all. However, there were tens of thousands of Qi Refining disciples in Lingshou Mountain, and it was impossible for him to know them all, so he didn't care too much.

"I've heard a little bit about it. What's going on, fellow apprentice brothers?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang glanced at the few people and saw their fiery gazes staring at the black-scaled dragon beast under their feet. He already understood their purpose.

But he still asked, not worried about anything.

After all, he joined forces with the black-scaled dragon beast, so he was able to fight even against a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As for the five brothers of the Zhong family in front of him, he had seen them in Zhong Wu's memory.

When they were at the Zhong family, they teamed up to bully Zhong Wu many times, and even when Zhong Wu went to Jiayuan City, he cursed the five people for a bad death.

He didn't expect to meet five people in this mountain of beasts. It seemed that the five people were interested in the black-scaled dragon beast under his feet.

"Since you've heard about the five of us, I won't say much. The black-scaled dragon beast you've subdued is the spirit beast our Zhong family's ancestor specifically requested us to subdue. It's very important to our Zhong family, so I hope you can give us a hand."

"But don't worry, Senior Brother. Our Zhong family is one of the five major immortal cultivation families in Lingshou Mountain. Naturally, we won't let you suffer any loss. As long as you are willing to give us this black-scaled dragon beast, if you need anything in the future, just ask us. We promise not to refuse. We can even ask our ancestors for guidance. What do you think, Senior Brother?"

The leading disciple from the Zhong family's Spirit Beast Mountain smiled and made a promise, showing his big white teeth.

Empty words to trick people!
This promise can be regarded as bullshit. He didn't even make a vow to the inner demon. How could anyone believe it, let alone Zhao Shuang?

Of course, these words were more of a threat. The ancestor of the Zhong family was a Jindan stage cultivator. If it were any other disciple of Lingshou Mountain, they might have gritted their teeth and agreed.

But Zhao Shuang has never liked to pamper others, especially the "second generation of immortals" in front of him who has been around for countless generations.

He has no ability, yet he still wants to threaten others. What an idiot.

He remembered that there should be no such idiots among mortals.

However, since they met, Zhao Shuang would not be polite, since his identity was fake anyway.

"Sorry, I'm not interested. Brothers, please look for other spirit beasts. Goodbye."

Zhao Shuang shook his head and was about to urge the black-scaled dragon beast under his feet to leave with an expressionless face. The leading disciple of the Zhong family's Spirit Beast Mountain spoke sinisterly and asked.

"Brother, do you look down on our Zhong family? I wonder which clan you come from, or if you are a disciple of the elder in charge?"

Seeing Zhao Shuang's decisive refusal, he was really worried.

"Don't worry, I don't have any family behind me. The elder in charge simply doesn't want to make an exchange. It's getting late, so I'd like to advise my fellow apprentices not to make mistakes."

After hearing the worry in the other party's words, Zhao Shuang sighed helplessly and said.

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, brother."

Upon hearing this, the leading disciple of the Zhong family's Spirit Beast Mountain turned pale, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his hand moved slightly.

The four men behind them, acting in unison, drew their magical weapons and attacked. A cold, golden broadsword, a ferocious whip covered in emerald green spikes, a chilling black crescent-shaped scimitar, and a dagger glowing red and blazing with heat, emitting dazzling sparks, all whizzed towards Zhao Shuang as if they had agreed to do so.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Shuang was well prepared. He flew into the air, and then, the black-scaled dragon beast, which had been unable to hold back its feet any longer and was filled with murderous aura, let out a long roar, and with a "dragon's tail swing", the huge dragon tail brought with it a tearing and explosive gust of wind.

"Bang bang bang!"

The four high-level magic weapons that were whistling out were directly blasted away, but the strange thing was that the four magic weapons stopped in mid-air as the hand seals of the four people changed, and turned into a four-colored light ball about ten feet in size, heading towards the black-scaled dragon beast.

The light ball was controlled by a khaki disc in the hands of the disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain of the Zhong family, which emitted a khaki earth-attributed glow with a heavy khaki aura.

Seeing this, the smile on Zhao Shuang's face faded, his eyes focused, and then a pair of round hook magic weapons appeared in his hands, which he threw towards the leading disciple of the Zhong family's Lingshou Mountain.

With lightning speed, they transformed into two gray-black pythons in mid-air, with bloody mouths, and swooped down violently.

……

at the same time
In Lingshou Mountain, Zhongyun Peak, a bald old man in the cave hall frowned and said to himself,
"What's going on? Why are you feeling uneasy?"

"Uncle Zhong, what happened?"

Seeing this, Du Wen, the head of Lingshou Mountain who was visiting in the cave hall, asked.

He is now in the late stage of foundation building, and it is with the support of the bald old man that he was able to sit on the position of the head of Lingshou Mountain. Therefore, he respects him very much.

He almost never refused the bald old man's orders and would always try his best to carry them out.

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt a little uneasy. It's probably because the Zhong family has been busy lately. It's nothing."

The bald ancestor of the Zhong family shook his head and said indifferently.

"That's good. Now my nephew can rest assured."

The head of Lingshou Mountain nodded.

"Hmm! But, are you sure that if you can subdue that black-scaled dragon beast, you can get the Grand Elder to accept Xi'er?"

Zhong Xi is the proud daughter of this generation of the Zhong family, with an ice-attributed spiritual root.

"Of course, it's not possible now. At least Junior-Junior Brother Zhong Xi needs to succeed in building his foundation, and then we can find a chance to tell the Grand Elder. With the Black-Scaled Dragon Beast as an opportunity and Junior-Junior Brother Zhong Xi's excellent aptitude of ice-attributed spiritual roots, I believe the Grand Elder will at least accept him as a registered disciple."

"Besides, the Grand Elder has always wanted to take in a disciple, but he just hasn't found a suitable one yet. Uncle, don't worry. If I weren't sure, I wouldn't dare tell you. And I certainly wouldn't let you and the other Du apprentices join forces to subdue that black-scaled dragon beast."

The head of Spirit Beast Mountain nodded confidently and said with a smile.

It was as if everything was planned.

"Okay, if the Grand Elder is willing to accept Xi'er as his disciple, I will definitely reward you."

The bald ancestor of the Zhong family promised.

"Then I, Junior-Martial-Nephew, would like to thank Senior-Martial-Uncle Zhong first."

……

"This is really a bit troublesome. It actually involves the head of Spirit Beast Mountain and the ancestor of the Zhong family. It seems that we have to leave Spirit Beast Mountain as soon as possible."

Zhao Shuang took out the mask of all living things that transformed him into the first disciple of the Zhong family's Spirit Beast Mountain, and said with a somewhat ugly expression.
