A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

When the members of the Three Flowers Gang saw that Zhou Ping had given up resistance and was trapped by their mistress's magic, they immediately burst into excited cheers.

The visual impact of such magical arts is the fundamental reason why ordinary people worship and revere them.

The three goddesses of the Three Flowers Gang are all celestial beings, holding a supreme position in the hearts of the people. This almost blind, fanatical worship means that even if they were asked to shed blood for them, no one would hesitate in the slightest.

Upon seeing this, the woman in palace attire slightly raised her lotus arm to stop the shouts of the crowd. A pink ribbon magical artifact, shimmering with a faint spiritual light, flew out from her sleeve and tightly bound Zhou Ping.

Her cool, clear eyes swept over the crowd, and she softly gave the order.

"Take this fellow Daoist into the dungeon and guard him carefully. Do not neglect him in any way."

"I will obey the Second Madam's decree!"

The members of the Three Flowers Gang responded in unison and surrounded Zhou Ping in the cage.

However, no one noticed that although the man in the green robe in the cage had a livid face, his bound hands blurred strangely before he was immobilized, to the point that they were almost invisible to the naked eye.

A small, transparent crystal was quickly crushed, and with a flick of the fingers, colorless and odorless powder adhered to the clothes.

A gentle breeze blew by, and a small amount of scattered powder quickly spread out amidst the chaotic pushing and shoving of the Sanhua Gang members, which was inadvertently inhaled by everyone.

Zhou Ping had already reached an extremely high level in his use of the Intercepting Wind Hand technique. Now, with the addition of an incredibly convenient storage bag, this secular martial art had become even more masterful in his hands, making it impossible for anyone to defend against.

Even the woman in palace attire was completely unaware that just moments before, as Zhou Ping raised his hand to admit defeat, a transparent crystal had silently appeared between his fingers as his fingers brushed against the front of his robe.

As she watched Zhou Ping being escorted towards the dungeon, her delicate brows slowly relaxed, and the slight unease in her heart gradually disappeared after he was bound by the flowing cloud gauze.

Because with the opponent's cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining, without the help of external forces, there was no possibility of breaking free from the Flowing Cloud Veil by relying solely on their own magical power.

Despite its seemingly flimsy appearance, the Flowing Cloud Gauze is a genuine low-grade magical artifact. Its main material comes from a type of silkworm demon insect, whose silk is extremely tough and is the preferred material for most handkerchiefs and ribbons.

This flowing cloud gauze is one of her only three magical artifacts. Although it is somewhat lacking in killing enemies and attack power, it is very effective in trapping and blocking enemies, making it a rare auxiliary magical artifact.

Once this person is bound, as long as she pays close attention and handles the situation carefully, there is absolutely no chance of the other party escaping.

Currently, the eldest sister-in-law, who is in charge of the Three Flowers Gang, is away on business and not in the valley. Cui Shui Town is temporarily being guarded by her as the second sister-in-law.

Logically, when encountering such a troublesome person with a sect background, one should try to avoid conflict, or simply kill them outright to prevent future troubles.

However, her actions at this moment were somewhat inappropriate. Now she had offended the other party but spared their life, which was undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.

However, such a fat sheep is extremely rare. Thinking of the blood slave mentioned in the third sister's communication talisman, she, as a cultivator, was also very tempted. Therefore, she had no choice but to temporarily imprison it and keep it for other uses.

"Now that we've captured this person, let's wait for Third Sister to arrive before making a final decision..."

The woman in palace attire gritted her teeth, seemingly having made a decision, and looked up in the direction of Sanhua Town, pondering to herself.

"Giggle..."

Just as the woman in palace attire was lost in thought, a melodious, bell-like laugh came from the entrance of Cui Shui Town.

A stunningly beautiful and alluring woman floated towards him at incredible speed amidst the cheers of the crowd.

"Second sister, judging by this situation, it seems the fat sheep is already in our grasp!"

Before the figure even arrived, her soft, languid voice, alluring to the bone, reached the ears of the woman in palace attire, causing the latter to beam with delight and hurriedly go to greet the newcomer, complaining,

"Third sister, you've come just in time. I was really worried about what to do with that person."

The alluring woman gracefully landed on the terrace. She first laughed and cursed at the fanatical gang members below who were shouting "Third Lady" before stepping forward and grabbing the woman in palace attire by the hand.

"Second sister, don't worry. Once he's in our hands, what are we afraid he can escape?"

Seeing her third sister's calm expression, the woman in palace attire quickly stepped forward and whispered a reminder in her ear.

"They're most likely from Zhonggu Mountain, and you're still so calm? Are you trying to drive your sister crazy?!"

"Oh? I only caught a glimpse of his flying boat-shaped magical artifact from afar and had some doubts about his origins. Has elder sister already found out his background?"

The charming woman raised an eyebrow and asked with wide, alluring eyes.

"Yes, we've served the young master for many years, so you should have some insight. That kid's cultivation is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and the spell he used should be a Xuanzong secret technique. His identity is extremely troublesome!"

The woman in palace attire confirmed with a serious expression and unwavering certainty.

"I see..."

Seeing her second sister's solemn expression, the charming woman changed her tone, speaking in a chilling manner.

"Then let him be a one-time blood slave. Once we're done, we'll dispose of the body and cover our tracks!"

"Is this...is this safe? Should we wait until our eldest sister returns before making a decision? After all, it involves Zhonggu Mountain. If word gets out and the higher-ups blame us, even the young master might not be able to protect us."

The woman in palace attire looked at her third sister, whose face was fierce, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and even considered backing out.

"Second sister! When will you change your weak-willed nature? There's no turning back now. Even if we let him go, can you guarantee he won't hold a grudge? Anyway, I won't let him leave. Even if it weren't for the Blood Spirit Pill, now that we've become enemies, we must silence him!"

The charming woman raised her eyebrows, looked at the somewhat timid palace-dressed beauty, raised her hand to support her fragrant shoulder, gently shook her, and then softly advised her.

"Don't you want the Blood Spirit Pill, sister? If it weren't for the fact that the young master rewarded each of us with several Blood Spirit Pills because of our merits in serving us, with the talent and background of my two sisters, how could we have everything we have today? We would probably have been treated as blood slaves and drained dry long ago."

"Besides, with our eldest sister's cultivation having just advanced to the late stage of Qi Refining, she is the one among us with the best chance of touching the Foundation Establishment Realm. Now is the time when she needs a lot of cultivation resources. Let's act first and ask for permission later. When we get the Blood Spirit Pill, I think she won't be too harsh on us."

The alluring woman's eyes darted about as she languidly leaned close to the courtesan's ear. Suddenly, she extended her serpentine tongue, lightly brushing it across the latter's soft earlobe, sending a shiver down her spine as if electrocuted. Her soft, seductive voice then flowed into the woman's ear like a scalding current.

"Don't worry, sister. As always, aside from the magical battles, leave all the dirty and tiring work to me. You just need to relax and enjoy the harvest of Blood Spirit Pills!"

The elegant lady in palace attire was caught off guard by the charming woman's sudden "ambush," and seemed to immediately recall the scene of the three sisters serving the young master together. Her face flushed red with embarrassment, and she quickly scolded him coquettishly.

"Third...Third Sister! There are still many disciples in the gang below! This must not be done!"

Just as she was about to dismiss the crowd, a terrified scream came from not far away, the sound filled with intense fear.

"Oh no! It's over there in the dungeon!"
