Chapter 191 Five Immortal Pills (Two-in-One)

In the darkness, Wang Xi sat up, clutching the small snake.

"Five Immortals Family - Liu Xunyan (Neutral/Four-Star/Elite)"

A shaman?
A thought suddenly popped into Wang Xi's mind.

"Hiss!" The little snake struggled and writhed in his hand, but couldn't break free. It spoke in human language: "You bastard, let me go!"

"Miss, are you joking?"

Wang Xi said calmly.

"You barged into the room on your own and even crawled into bed... So unreasonable and rude. Didn't your elders teach you that you need to be careful when you're born, or you'll easily run into trouble?"

"?!"

The little snake was startled.

Liu Xunyan's elders naturally gave her instructions, but now that her cultivation had reached a minor level and she could transform into human form, everything had been going smoothly for her. However, she was careless today.

She never imagined that the guest in the random room she found to take refuge would be a Grandmaster... no, even more terrifying than a Grandmaster.

The young man's hands were like cast iron, and he couldn't break free at all after being captured.

"Sir, I know I was wrong."

After a thousand thoughts raced through Liu Xunyan's mind, she decisively admitted defeat.

She flicked her tongue, her tone pitiful: "I had no intention of harming anyone. I was only injured by a villain and fled in panic, accidentally entering your room."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi snapped his fingers.

Snapped.

A ball of white flame appeared at the head of the bed. By the light of the flame, he carefully examined the small snake in his hand—its body was emerald green like jade, with two bloody gashes on it.

Liu Xunyan was even more horrified when she saw the young man snap his fingers and summon the eerie white flames.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Finished!

This is not a grandmaster, but a cultivator!

"Tell me about it," Wang Xi said calmly, tossing the small snake to the ground. "What exactly happened?"

The little snake cried out in pain, feeling annoyed that the young man was so insensitive to tenderness.

But she dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction. Instead, she pitifully said, "Reporting to you, sir, I was originally a wild snake. I was blessed by the heavens and gained spiritual energy to become a spirit. However, I was coveted by villains who tried to kill me to make medicine!"

Liu Xunyan became increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing that this woman was spouting nonsense, Wang Xi didn't expose her. He simply watched her perform quietly and even played along, saying, "Who wants to kill you to refine medicine?"

"It's that damned Zhao family!"

The little snake said angrily.

"The Zhao family patriarch dispatched his 'Five Lakes Wanderer' expert subordinate to join forces with the Fengdeng City Police Department to lay a trap..."

Among the large families in Fengdeng City, there is only one Zhao family, which is the family of Miss Zhao Wu, who was once married to Zhang Fuyun.

"So much trouble, just to kill a little snake spirit like you?"

Wang Xi said with a half-smile.

The little snake paused, then said timidly, "It's not just them chasing me; there are other fellow cultivators who have achieved success in their cultivation as well."

Just then.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the door.

There were hurried footsteps, angry shouts from men, and gasps from women.

Soon, the noise drew closer and reached the outside of Wang Xi's room.

Bang bang bang!
The door was banged on loudly.

A gruff male voice shouted, "This is an operation by the Fengdeng City Police Department to track down a wanted criminal. Open the door now!"

"Ah!" The little snake was terrified and whispered, "They're here! Please, sir, save me!"

Wang Xi remained calm and unmoved: "Why should I save you? If I hand you over, wouldn't I be able to curry favor with the Zhao family?"

Liu Xunyan was speechless.

She was terrified, fearing that the other party would actually do it.

"If you save me, sir, I will repay your great kindness!"

"Talking without substance is meaningless." Wang Xi shook his head: "It's better to hand you over; the benefits will be real."

"No!" the little snake cried out. "This humble woman is willing to serve you like a slave, a maidservant for ten years!"

"That's what you said."

Wang Xi chuckled softly, then got out of bed, turned on the light, and opened the door.

Four or five police officers in black and white uniforms stood outside the door. The leader was a burly man with a thick beard, who sized up Wang Xi with sharp eyes.

Why are you opening so late?

The burly policeman brandished his baton and asked in a cold voice.

"Are you harboring a wanted criminal?"

As he spoke, he gestured to his colleagues with his eyes. Several people around him understood and were about to go inside, but Wang Xi stopped them.

"She's asleep. Is there a problem?"

Wang Xi smiled.

"Furthermore, this is my private room. Do you have a police search warrant?"

"Wow, you're pretty tough."

Upon seeing this, the burly man was so angry that he laughed instead.

"You stinking outsider, do you really need a search warrant to run the Fengdang Police Station?"

As he spoke, his eyes flashed with ferocity: "Get out of here right now! If you mess up official business, you'll be locked up for a few years and that'll be the end of it!"

Wang Xi glanced down the corridor and noticed that several police officers were standing at the doors of the adjacent rooms, questioning the guests inside.

"Such an imposing official's aura, I am truly afraid."

He chuckled and then turned to the side.

"Please come in, sir."

"You little punk, you're smart to know what's good for you." The burly policeman sneered and led his men inside.

Upon entering, one sees a beautiful woman lying on the bed.

"Ah!" The woman cried out in fear, pulling the blanket tighter around herself, leaving only half her face exposed. "My...my sir, what's going on?"

"Don't be afraid," Wang Xi reassured her from the side. "The officers are searching for a wanted criminal."

He turned to look at the burly man and asked, "What does the wanted criminal you're looking for look like?"

"The woman in red who knows sorcery, many people have gone missing in this area, it's all her doing."

The burly man spoke calmly, his eyes fixed on the woman on the bed.

He suddenly grinned and said, "Drag this woman out and see if she's wearing red."

"and many more!"

Wang Xi then called out.

When the patrol officer gave him an unfriendly look, he walked to the door, peeked out, and then closed the door.

boom!
Upon seeing this, the burly policemen exchanged a smile.

This scoundrel is really savvy.

Available in the next second.

A cloud of gray dust rushed towards me.

"Cough cough!" The patrol officers, caught off guard, were immediately caught off guard, staggering and looking dazed.

Wang Xi clapped his hands.

——"Bewitching Powder"

He had never had a chance to use the item that dropped from "Green Hawk," the vice-chairman of "Five Lakes Wanderer."

...

...

A short while later, the patrol officers left as if nothing had happened.

Wang Xi obtained some information from the other party. This group was indeed searching for the "red-clad woman who knew sorcery," but they also had a secret mission: to find an injured green snake.

"Thank you for your help, sir."

Liu Xunyan let out a long breath before lifting the covers.

She was wearing a light green jacket and skirt, with bloody cuts and stab wounds on her arms and waist.

Wang Xi stood by the bed with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "It's time to tell me the truth, Miss Liu."

"?!" Liu Xunyan exclaimed in surprise.

She has never revealed her surname, so how did the other party know it?
Wang Xi raised his hand and counted on his fingers, pretending to ponder: "It seems you've encountered a great calamity..."

"?!" Liu Xunyan's surprise turned into horror. "Sir, I didn't mean to deceive you, but this world is too dangerous, and I have to be careful."

Seeing that this mysterious young man also knew the art of divination, and considering the life-saving grace he had just shown her, she immediately dared not hide anything and told him the truth in detail.

It turns out that the Zhao family recently found an ancestral elixir in their old house, called the "Five Immortals Pill," which is said to grant one five hundred years of life.

Although the Zhao family is a family of doctors, Master Zhao is now over fifty years old. Huangqi can cure diseases, but it cannot prolong life, so he has the idea of ​​refining elixirs to achieve immortality.

The five main ingredients required for this "Five Immortals Pill" are the five immortal spirits—fox, weasel, white fox, willow, and gray fox—who have achieved great cultivation.

So the Zhao family mobilized all their connections, contributing money and effort, all to find the main medicine.

As for the so-called "woman in red who possesses sorcery," she is actually an evil spirit known as "Red-Sleeve Boy." The police station has been quite troubled by this recently and dares not make a fuss about it to avoid causing panic.

Do you know where Mr. Hu Lang has gone?

Wang Xi nodded.

Liu Xunyan's mouth gaped slightly. This mysterious young man actually knew Hu Lang?

But why didn't he calculate it himself using his fingers?

“Uncle Hu went to rescue his friend,” she said truthfully.

Wang Xi nodded: "Tell me more about it."

Liu Xunyan thought for a moment. Since this young man knew Uncle Hu, he might be able to become an assistant.

She then said in a deep voice, "The second young mistress of the Liu family is also a descendant of my Five Immortals family. I call her Sister Huang... I don't know what the Zhao family promised the Liu family, but they colluded with each other to sell Sister Huang's unborn child to make elixirs."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi raised an eyebrow.

Human hearts are unpredictable...

They actually betrayed their own daughter-in-law, even using their child as a bargaining chip. Clearly, the Liu family didn't consider Huang a member of the family at all.

After learning the truth, Wang Xi nodded: "We should go."

"Us?" Liu Xunyan looked puzzled.

"Don't forget what you said. Now you are my maid."

Wang Xi spoke calmly as he opened the window.

"come over."

Liu Xunyan was somewhat resistant, but she still gritted her teeth, stood up, and walked over: "Sir...where is the young master going?"

"Go to the Liu family to find Hu Lang."

Wang Xi grabbed Liu Xunyan by the waist and jumped out of the window.

This "Zhu Yi" room was on the second floor of Tingyu Tower, not very high. He landed lightly with a woman on the ground.

Liu Xunyan was puzzled as to why the young man did not leave via the stairs or the main entrance, but instead heard a burst of gunfire at the restaurant entrance.

Immediately, screams and gasps erupted. She looked up and was taken aback.

The patrol officers who had just searched the room suddenly went berserk, pulling out their guns and starting to kill each other.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight people lay on the ground in pools of blood. The surrounding area was filled with panicked, bewildered onlookers.

Liu Xunyan felt a chill in her heart.

She immediately turned to look at the young man beside her, only to see that his eyes were deep and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Young...Young Master, did you make this?"

Liu Xunyan asked.

She kindly reminded her:

"The police station is nothing, but behind it is Master Han, who has many cultivators and grandmasters by his side. Aren't you afraid..."

"It's not my business."

Wang Xi glanced at her.

"Do you have evidence?"

"..."

Liu Xunyan was speechless.

"Lead the way," Wang Xi said to the woman, glancing at the chaotic scene and the arriving patrol team.

The two weaved through the increasingly crowded throng and left this place of trouble. No sooner had they left than the Listening Rain Pavilion was sealed off by patrolling police.

...

...

The night is deep.

Liu Xunyan led Wang Xi through a series of alleys, leaving the bustling Central Avenue and heading north.

The air was filled with the smells of coal smoke, osmanthus oil, and fried cypress. A gramophone in some mansion was playing a song, its notes lingering endlessly.

Suddenly, Liu Xunyan stopped at the entrance of an alley next to a residential building.

Wang Xi looked up.

By the dim light of the streetlamp, two people were seen blocking the way ahead.

One male and one female.

The man was burly and imposing, like a standing bear, probably over two meters tall, dressed in shorts. The woman was petite, wearing a yellow cheongsam and heavy makeup.

"Wuhu Sanren · Chiying (Vice Guild Member) · Kong Yan (Hostile/5-Star/Elite)"

"Wuhu Sanren · Huang Li (Vice Guild Member) · Zhang Manxiang (Hostile/Four-Star/Elite)"

"A master from the Five Lakes Hermitage..."

Liu Xunyan gritted her teeth and said.

How did you find us?

She looked at the menacing broadsword in the burly man's hand, her eyes filled with hatred.

The injuries on my body were inflicted by the other party.

"A snake spirit in human form, tsk tsk."

The woman in the yellow cheongsam held a rolled-up soft whip in one hand and covered her mouth with the other, chuckling softly.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. I just wonder if that old fellow Zhao Xingwei's elixir is real or fake?"

"Whether it's true or false is none of our business."

"It's a strong man standing to the side," he said in a deep voice.

"Kill her and send her back to report. Master Han has heard about this and is very interested. This is not something we can get our hands on."

"That's right."

Huang Li glanced at the young man in the long black coat beside Liu Xunyan and smiled charmingly:

"But it seems she brought accomplices this time. Let's kill them together."

At that moment, she noticed that the young man had inexplicably raised his hand and was pointing it in her direction.

The oriole looked puzzled, then burst out laughing: "What is he doing?"

"..."

However, the burly man beside him did not answer.

The oriole turned its head to look, its pupils contracting.

Kong Yan, who was as black as a tower, stood motionless like a stone statue, still in the posture of preparing to swing his knife.

His face was held by a pitch-black hand.

"Kong Yan?!" Huang Li exclaimed in surprise.

The next second, the black hand left the burly man's face, and she clearly saw that there was an eye growing in the center of that strange palm!
hum-

A sweep of gray-white light.

The oriole suddenly felt numb, its limbs became unresponsive, and it froze in place, unable to move.

Black magic?

Witchcraft!

It was only at this moment that she realized just how many people she had encountered...

A legendary cultivator!

A feeling of helplessness, shock, and fear welled up in my heart.

Huang Li could still sense everything around her, but she couldn't even move her eyes... She believed that Kong Yan was in the same state as her, filled with despair.

"What...what are they doing?!"

Liu Xunyan witnessed this bizarre scene firsthand, and when she opened her small mouth, she could barely speak.

Wang Xi did not answer.

He remained calm and casually waved his hand as if swatting away a fly.

A black hand, floating twenty meters away, formed a sword shape with its fingers together, like drawing the character "一" (one), and lightly grazed the throats of the man and woman.

puff! !
The two were beheaded on the spot, their blood gushing out like a fountain.

But the two headless corpses remained standing like statues, refusing to fall.

Liu Xunyan's beautiful eyes widened, and her heart raced.

This……

Is this the divine power of cultivators?
Just as the elders said, they are absolutely not to be trifled with!
At this moment, her awe of Wang Xi rose to several levels, and she even had the thought that being his maid would be quite nice.

"The target has been killed!"

Two invisible green lights emerged from the corpse and flew into Wang Xi's brow.

Wang Xi walked forward on his own and observed for a while.

He discovered that the two people were not completely petrified after being scanned by the "Petrifying Eye," but rather became stiff.

The man is a grandmaster who cultivates both inner and outer skills, while the woman is a grandmaster who specializes in outer skills.

'If you're prepared to catch someone off guard, it's basically a swift victory.'

Wang Xi said secretly.

'This underhanded maneuver was far too solid.'

He then began to rob the two men.

They found over a hundred banknotes, dozens of silver dollars, and two jade identity plaques, one engraved with "fire" and the other with "earth".

Wang Xi took out the jade pendant he had previously obtained from the "Green Hawk" and compared it with the jade pendant; they were indeed of the same specifications.

Liu Xunyan hurriedly stepped forward and saw the young man examining the jade pendant in his hand. She swallowed hard and asked, "Young Master, what are you doing?"

Do you know what 'stamp collecting' is?

Wang Xi put away the jade pendant and spoke.

Liu Xunyan was taken aback.

Collecting stamps?

“I’ve heard of it…” she opened her mouth. “Young Master, you wouldn’t happen to be hunting down the top experts of the ‘Five Lakes Wanderers’ to collect their identity tokens, would you?!”

“It wasn’t specifically for this purpose.” Wang Xi shook his head. “I just accepted it when it was handed to me. I can write a biography about it later to warn future generations.”

Liu Xunyan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She could basically conclude that this young man was definitely a carefree cultivator who treated ordinary experts like nothing more than a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

At the same time, Liu Xunyan felt invigorated.

With his help, Uncle Hu and Sister Huang's predicament was easily resolved, and the Five Immortals' disciples who were being hunted down by the Zhao family in Fengdeng City were also saved!

"Young master, would you like me to deal with these two corpses? I know how to use magic to move them!"

Liu Xunyan clutched the hem of her skirt and said ingratiatingly.

"No need," Wang Xi said casually, then flicked his sleeve.

call--

Like a gust of wind, the two corpses that were standing in the same spot spontaneously combusted, like two incandescent torches.

Just two breaths.

All that remained was a cloud of ashes that drifted away in the night wind.

"Keep leading the way."

The young man's voice startled Liu Xunyan awake. She quickly agreed and led the way.

All that remains in my heart is awe.

...

...

It was around 10 PM.

In a general store not far from the Liu family mansion, a pregnant woman was kneeling and weeping.

"Brother Lang, it's all my fault that you've been ruined."

A red fox was lying half-reclined on the ground in front of her.

The fox was panting heavily, clutching its belly with its paws, where a large gash was bleeding profusely.

And he has lost sight in one eye.

"Sister Huang, it's nothing. With my skills, this little injury won't kill me."

Hu Lang grinned.

“I knew long ago that the leader of the ‘Five Lakes Wanderers’, Bai Jun, would personally use you as bait to lure me in… but I never expected that he would no longer be a grandmaster in the human world, but would instead embark on the path of cultivation and become a ‘slaughtering path’ cultivator.”

As he spoke, he looked down and saw that he was missing several ribs, all thanks to the other party's miraculous knife strike.

Where should we go next?

Ms. Huang choked up as she spoke.

Hu Lang thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"Let's hide near the Qi family first. The Zhao family and Master Han won't dare to provoke us easily. We can take shelter under their protection."

"Girl, can you still use magic to conceal your presence? Those black owls are good at tracking; I'm afraid they'll find us halfway there..."

The words have not yet fallen.

A cold laugh echoed from outside the general store: "So, you were hiding here all along, you fiend!"

Both Hu Lang and Huang's daughter turned pale.
