“…”
"The two looked up. Green Hibiscus was still supervising those copying, muttering to herself, 'Please calm down and slowly copy. Slowly comprehend the profound enlightenment of the Thousand-Handed Compassionate Medicine King's Savior Chapter.'"
"We've finished copying." Xing and Yunqi handed over the copied scriptures together.
"You two have finished copying? So quickly? Let me check..." Green Hibiscus was shocked and quickly took the copied file to examine it carefully. "Hmm... hmm... you really have finished copying it, and you copied it quickly and well. It seems that you have a good connection with the immortals."
"Can I join the Medicine King Secret Sect now?" Xing asked.
"Please be patient, please be patient," Green Hibiscus said slowly. "The entry trial consists of two steps. You and that Cloud Rider have completed the first step. Now the last step remains."
"Okay, then let's come back tomorrow for the next step. I'm on duty now, and I ran away secretly. If I don't go back, they'll get suspicious."
"Don't worry, the second step is very simple and will be over quickly." A fierce gleam flashed in Green Hibiscus's eyes, and she chuckled, "Don't employ those you doubt, and trust those you employ. So... please duel here. Whoever survives will officially become a cultivator."
Blade Tooth World.
"mean!"
Rei Kaiou, who witnessed the entire entrance trial process, could no longer control himself and let out a roar of anger, which scared Tokugawa who was standing beside him so much that he almost couldn't hold the teacup steady.
Next to him, Kaoru Hanayama, the second generation leader of the Japanese underworld Hanayama Group, also burst out with astonishing momentum, and his fists in his pockets kept shaking.
It is precisely because of his emphasis on loyalty and righteousness, and his proper conduct, that Hanayama Fumio is deeply respected and admired by his subordinates. He himself holds his subordinates to the same standards, adhering to the principles of the organization... which is why the Hanayama Group is so successful today.
The Medicine King's Secret would actually use such shameless people - just for this reason, Huashan Xun was the first to look down on this group of people.
"This Yunqi is also a talent. Why didn't Medicine King Secret accept him as well? Isn't it a pity to let him die at the hands of Xing?" Although Lie Haiwang was angry, he was really puzzled by Medicine King Secret's method of sacrificing talents.
"...Haha, it's obvious that this is a 'pledge of allegiance'." Guo Haihuang laughed.
"A certificate of nomination?"
"In ancient times, if someone wanted to join bandits or horse thieves, they had to take someone's head as a token of their loyalty," Guo Haihuang explained. "Having blood on your hands... not only demonstrated your sincerity, but also served as a means of better associating with the other side."
"After all, if you kill someone and commit murder, there's no way you can go back. Only bandits and horse thieves would accept that person."
"If Xing kills this Cloud Rider, he will be guilty of the Immortal Boat's murder... The Medicine King Secret Teachings need someone with blood on their hands and complete loyalty more than two newcomers."
"But, but...that Yunqi..." King Lie Hai knew very well that Yunqi could not be a match for Xing. If they really met, he would surely die. He couldn't help but worry.
-
"Why?" Xing asked in confusion.
"Copying scriptures can be used to assess your devotion, but your loyalty to the organization requires stronger assurance." Green Hibiscus spread her hands, a look of resignation on her face. "...There's nothing I can do. I didn't make the rules."
"Wait, wait!" Yunqi suddenly panicked: "No, we are here to seek immortality, not to seek death. If we are suddenly asked to duel like this, we will be in trouble!"
"I'm not forcing you to duel," Green Hibiscus said coldly, her eyes gleaming with ferocity. "You can refuse to fight, but then I can't let any of you leave."
"How can Xing hold back like this?! Hurry up and hit him on the head with the bat! He's really getting ahead of himself!"
"Let this guy know who has the final say in Chang Letian!!"
At lunch time, Kiana waved the chopsticks in her hand, imagining them as two baseball bats, and swung them vigorously.
"Eat first." Mei sighed helplessly, reached out and tapped Kiana's head gently, and said like a child, "Eat well and pass the afternoon test, so you can have the strength to deal with Green Hibiscus."
"If I had been able to do anything, I would have hit that guy with a stick when he asked me to copy the book." Kiana chewed some vegetables and said stiffly, "That Cloud Rider brother is so nice. If he really got hurt by Xing, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night!"
Mei looked up at the light screen, pursed her lips and smiled, "But if Kiana really goes up, it will alert the enemy, right?"
Kiana curled her lips: "I just can't stand seeing bad guys getting ahead of me..."
"Green Hibiscus dares to recruit new members in the busy city. Maybe she has some tricks up her sleeve. What if there are hidden talents in the secret teachings of the Medicine King, and there are experts protecting him..."
Kiana used chopsticks to pick up the scrambled eggs, but they slipped away and she didn't pick them up.
She continued to clamp the fist angrily: "So what if there are experts? I'll beat one if I can, and a pair if I can get two!"
After saying that, the girl raised her lake-blue eyes again and pretended to be pitiful: "Besides, I have already taken action. Mei will definitely not let me fight alone, right?"
So that's what she meant. Mei smiled slightly and picked up the scrambled eggs from the girl's lunch box with her chopsticks: "Of course, I'm worried about you."
Kiana finally picked up the scrambled eggs, put them in her mouth in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I knew that no matter what time, Mei, you would stand by me."
“Okay, okay…” Yunqi nodded shakily, “Then let me prepare myself mentally first, is that okay? I’ve never done anything like this before…”
"Green Hibiscus remained noncommittal, telling him and Xing to prepare properly."
"They both walked to the corner and lowered their voices at the same time."
“I’ve come up with a good idea. I can get you into the Medicine King Secret Sect, and I can get away with it…”
"You fight me, and then I'll lose and pretend you killed me. Then you'll pretend you're helping them dispose of the bodies and take me away from the scene... That way, we can both achieve our goals!"
"Uh... I've seen your skills before, but please don't accidentally kill me..."
Chapter 105 Guo Haihuang: This is another victory of martial arts!
"That's hard to say..." Xing said with a wicked smile.
"No...be gentle. Sigh...never mind. This is all my fault. I'll leave it to fate. Please don't kill me!" Yunqi trembled.
"Having discussed everything, the two called over Green Hibiscus and began the duel under his witness."
"Xing pulled out his bat without hesitation, and a startling aura suddenly emerged!"
"Rules are made to be broken!"
"Hey, wait!" Yunqi was so frightened by her posture that he couldn't even hold the sword in his hand steady: "Are you serious?! Don't... Be gentle, be gentle-"
"Unfortunately, before I could finish, Xing had already hit him with a stick, and poor Brother Yunqi started sleeping like a baby on the spot."
"Wow, what a skill!" Green Hibiscus exclaimed in admiration. He squatted down to check Yunqi's breath and found that he was no longer breathing, which made him even more satisfied.
"It's a good thing you won. This guy came over in a Cloud Rider uniform and said he wanted to join the sect. His words were so incoherent. If he really won, I'd be a little worried about whether he could be trusted."
"Zi Ju, Lan Tao, find a place to deal with this Cloud Rider."
"This Green Hibiscus is really cunning. Even if Big Brother Yunqi beats Xing, I'm afraid he won't let him pass."
Arata Ichito was indignant on behalf of Big Brother Yunqi: "No wonder Yaowang Secret is an illegal gang? They focus all their energy on dealing with their members. With people like that, even a legitimate gang would become a mess."
"Uh, Boss..." Kuki Shinobu lowered his voice, "Actually, our Aratake faction isn't a regular gang in the community..."
"Ninja, don't worry about such details."
Yidou stared at the screen intently, his expression more serious than ever before. "I'm really angry now. How dare they treat the new gang member like this... I must witness with my own eyes how Xing handles this Medicine King Secret!"
"Let me handle it," Xing volunteered.
"You come? Do you know how to handle this?" Green Hibiscus said, her face full of suspicion.
"Xing smiled pervertedly: "I like collecting these..."
"Uh...collect?" Green Hibiscus was startled, but he quickly understood. "That's fine, that's fine. It's not uncommon to make friends with people who don't have a hobby."
"Considering Xing's unusual way of thinking, it's normal for him to have some quirks. Anyway, Green Hibiscus handed this task to Xing and said she would report the matter to her superiors truthfully."
"By the way, I even gave Xing an organizational code name—Gray Peony."
"What a tasteless name! It's not even as good as Galaxy Batman..." Xing muttered to himself before leading Cloud Rider back to a safe place."
"Huh!" Yunqi, who had just lost his pulse and heartbeat, suddenly stood up from the ground and greedily breathed in the fresh air. "So? Am I still good at pretending to be dead?"
Blade Tooth World.
"Sure enough, it's a victory of martial arts!"
Looking at the resurrected Cloud Knight, Guo Haihuang revealed a gratified expression: "There is no better self-defense than death. Although this Cloud Knight looks weak, he has mastered the essence of martial arts."
"Is playing dead considered the essence of martial arts? How cunning..." Miyamoto Musashi couldn't hide the sneer on his face. "I originally thought the essence of martial arts was more sophisticated moves?"
"Martial arts and techniques are inherently cunning. When insects and animals determine they cannot win or are in danger, they use mimicry to feign death."
Guo Haihuang said calmly: "You can look down on it, or say that this kind of thing is cunning, it doesn't matter...but the result is that they can continue to live."
"That Cloud Rider was imprisoned and even fought Xing... but he came out alive. That's a victory for martial arts! If it were you, Miyamoto Musashi, could you do it!?"
These words were like the roar of a tiger or a dragon, shocking everyone present.
Miyamoto Musashi seemed to be suppressed by the iron-clad facts, and lowered his head into deep thought.
Indeed, in that situation, apart from playing dead, the only way is to defeat the star head-on... But this method is not only impossible for the Cloud Rider, even the fighters present may not be able to do it!
"Alright, Guo Haihuang, I agree with your answer." Miyamoto Musashi sighed and asked curiously, "Then regarding the essence of martial arts you mentioned... can you teach it to me?"
"You are still too young, Miyamoto Musashi."
Guo Haihuang chuckled and said playfully, "Wait another hundred years, and then come back to ask me for advice."
"How...how are you still alive?" Xing asked, a look of horror on her face, as if she had seen a zombie."
"Ah? You really were planning to kill me just now!?" Yunqi was horrified.
"He stared into Xing's eyes for a long time before finally realizing it was just a joke."
"What a despicable guy..." Yunqi gave a helpless smile.
"After confirming that no one was following them, Yunqi returned to the Divine Strategy Palace to report."
"Not long after, Qing Tu sent a text message, expressing his gratitude to Xing and hoping that she would continue to explore within the Medicine King Secret Teachings, and pay special attention to Zhixin, a Cloud Rider who had disappeared a few months ago."
"Put your phone down and head towards the place you agreed to meet up with Green Hibiscus."
"When they arrived, they found that Green Hibiscus was not there. There was only a letter addressed to 'Gray Peony'. Xing realized that it was for her."
"After opening it, I found that the letter stated that a cultivator had defected and sent important intelligence to the Divine Strategy Palace. Xing's mission was to intercept the intelligence. After completing the mission, he could recommend Xing to the higher-ups."
"Green Hibiscus said that as long as his superior agrees, Xing can ascend to immortality with them."
The world of One Punch Man.
Odd Society.
"This Green Hibiscus is quite cautious. If only the people our association sends to distribute cells could learn from him, there wouldn't be so few humans transformed into monsters."
"Their organizational structure... well, it's worth studying. As for the method they mentioned for achieving immortality together, it should be something like Monster Cell, right?"
Big Eyes was looking at the monster cells in his hand, lost in thought.
If humans eat this thing, they will instantly gain great strength and a long lifespan - although their bodies will uncontrollably transform into monsters, it is generally considered a very cost-effective deal.
Every year, humans succumb to temptation and consume monster cells to become members of the association. However, not only are the number small, but the quality is also uneven, and even fewer of them can become "Dragon-level monsters".
As both were underground organizations, Da Jingyan was curious about how the Medicine King Secret Sect had developed. He also wanted to expand and become stronger, so he had to learn from the successful experience of this powerful force...
Chapter 106 Joestar: Wait, he's also going to transcend humanity and stop being human?!
"After searching a few shelves, Xing successfully retrieved the letter. It contained the Medicine King's secret internal orders. No wonder Green Hibiscus was so anxious."
"After making a copy, Xing reported her results. Green Hibiscus was delighted and asked Xing to return to the place where she had copied the scripture before, promising to take her to meet the person in charge."
"When we arrived at that secluded courtyard, we saw from afar a man and a woman standing next to Green Hibiscus."
"Master Purple Moon, this is the Gray Peony I mentioned to you. He's a very reliable grower," Green Hibiscus introduced to the purple-robed man beside her.
The purple-robed man looked Xing up and down, then nodded with great satisfaction. "It's clear you're quite skilled."
"You look quite weak." Xing put one hand on his waist, a scornful smile on his lips.
"How dare you!" Green Hibiscus was immediately furious and quickly scolded.
Zi Yueji, however, looked nonchalant and raised her hand to interrupt, saying, "It's alright... I like your personality. But why would a strong person like you want to become the Medicine King's Secret Disciple?"
"I want to become stronger!" Xing's eyes were determined.
"Good, me too. I used to think that if I just trained hard, I'd become strong... but that's not the case."
"In my long career as a cloud rider, I've learned one thing: human power has its limits. The more one pursues power, the more likely they are to fail due to unexpected circumstances."
“So, I gave up my mortal body and became a follower of the Compassionate Medicine King.”
JOJO parallel world, 1888.
“…He’s not a human being anymore?!”
Jonathan Joestar gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.
——What’s with this sense of déjà vu?!
If Zi Yueji suddenly took out a stone ghost mask from his arms and slapped it on his face, he would not be surprised at all.
