"JOJO, what's wrong?" William A. Zeppelin suddenly asked, "Does this Purple Moon Season remind you of anything?"

Joestar lowered his head with a serious expression and said, "Well, he reminds me of Dio. He said the same thing as Dio... I'm afraid he will do something to hurt Xing in the next second."

Thinking back to that rainy night, Dio had taken out the Stone Mask and stabbed him. If his father hadn't blocked the knife for him, he would have...

As soon as he closed his eyes, he recalled his father's last words, the tragic deaths of the people, the desperate cries, and... Dio's nightmarish whispers, which clung to him like vines, echoing in his mind for a long time.

"JO~JO~ Can you let me enjoy this powerful strength for a while longer?"

"JOJO, I've said it before, the more people scheme, the more they'll discover that people have their limits."

“Boxers Boxers—!!”

"WRYYY..."

"..."

“——JOJO!!”

Zeppeli's low roar was like a thunderclap, waking Joestar from his memories. He jerked his head up, his chest rising and falling rapidly, and it took a while for his tense muscles to gradually relax.

"JOJO, ripple energy is very sensitive to mental fluctuations. If Dio attacks you in the ten seconds when you just lost consciousness, you will be helpless." Zeppeli looked at him seriously.

"Yes! I understand!" Joestar wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and began to devote himself to Ripple's training again.

"After saying this, Zi Yueji pulled out... not a stone mask, but a note, and handed it to Xing: "As long as you take this medicine, you will be able to sever the shackles that the Demon Bow has placed on your soul, just like me, and gain ultimate power and freedom."

"These herbs can be purchased at the clinic, but for some you'll need to find them yourself... but with your abilities, this should be a piece of cake."

Xing took the prescription and asked curiously, "Why did you, a Cloud Rider, join the Medicine King's Secret Sect?"

"Talking about the past, Zi Yueji sighed deeply. "To be honest, I was once a member of the Cloud Riders, training in spearmanship for nearly a hundred years. I almost became their instructor. But confined by my fragile mortal body, I could never break through the last barrier between myself and those 'Martial Arts Geniuses'."

"A trace of resentment disappeared in Zi Yueji's eyes in an instant, replaced by a look of pride and madness."

"Thankfully, this medicine in your hands saved me. I have finally become a master beyond the reach of mere mortals. The pitiful 'Divine Spear Master' of the past is gone, leaving only the loyal cultivator of the Compassionate Medicine King."

"Lady Celia, the martial arts genius he mentioned...could it be Yan Qing?"

Jian Ze looked at Zi Yueji with a sudden look of pity in his eyes.

Yan Qing seemed to be only in his teens. Even if he had been practicing sword since childhood, he had only been practicing for about ten years. But judging from Zi Yueji's expression, he was already able to defeat Zhi Xin, who had nearly a hundred years of experience in spearmanship.

No matter how strong your faith is, it is inevitable that it will collapse when facing a monster-level genius.

"This is the gap between mortals and geniuses." Looking at the complacent Zi Yueji, Celie rolled her eyes in boredom.

...She never paid attention to the little thoughts of mediocre people because it was a complete waste of time.

In front of a true genius like Yan Qing, the light of ordinary people is like fireflies, which may occasionally attract attention - but when the firefly tries to compete with the bright moon, the collapse of faith is inevitable.

The fault lies not with the geniuses, but with these fireflies. They failed to adjust their mindset, failed to recognize their own talents in time, and broke through their defenses without authorization.

All of her disciples are geniuses selected from among thousands of humans. In the thousand years since humans mastered magic, starting from Volame, she has destroyed countless people like "Purple Moon" in terms of their faith.

"...Thinking that a single potion can bridge the gap between mortals and geniuses? It seems he simply doesn't understand the difference between himself and a genius."

“To be able to do things that ordinary people cannot do easily is just the threshold of genius.”

"To be able to do things that ordinary people dare not even imagine... this is what a true genius does." Celia lowered her eyes slightly, she thought of the disciple named Philen beside Fulilian, and smiled meaningfully.

"Zhi Xin?" Xing thought the name sounded familiar at first, but then it dawned on her—wasn't this the missing Yun Qi that Qing Tu had told her to keep an eye on?

"This isn't a disappearance, this is clearly a betrayal!"

"Wait... you recognize me?!" Xing's attitude made Zi Yueji's face change. "Why did your expression become strange when you heard this name?"

Green Hibiscus also came to her senses at this point: "Master Zi Yueji, something's wrong... I'm afraid this guy might be an undercover agent looking for you..."

"You bastard! You spent all this time testing me, and what did you actually test? You let in a blatant undercover like this!" Zi Yueji was furious.

Chapter 107 Singed, do you also want to ascend to immortality?

After hearing Green Hibiscus's helpless defense, Zi Yueji's face darkened. She gritted her teeth and said, "How despicable... The Demon Bow's Originator has made these pathetic mortals so fearless of death. To infiltrate the Medicine King's secret teachings, they're even willing to sacrifice their own lives..."

"Xing was speechless. She thought to herself, I haven't said anything revealing. These people are really imaginative..."

"I'm tired, you guys go together." Xing simply stopped acting.

"Zi Yueji let out a series of low growls from her throat, and her body began to swell and mutate, turning into a demonic Yin body. "Then... Gray Peony, no... the hunting dog of the Divine Strategy Palace! Please die!"

"... Half a minute later, Xing emerged from the courtyard, carrying a baseball bat. She tilted her head slightly, looking at the Medicine King's Secret Transmission cultivators lying on the ground."

"Uh...that's it?"

Cu Chulainn felt that his expectations were in vain.

When Cu Chulainn heard Zi Yueji say that he had been practicing spearmanship for nearly a hundred years, he thought that this person was a master picked from among the thousands of people in the Immortal Boat, but he didn't expect that it would be gone in a flash.

However, Xing felt quite happy when he hit his opponent on the head with a baseball bat. Cu Chulainn drank several cans of beer accompanied by the crisp and pleasant sound of the knocking.

Altria looked at the two guests who were occupying the kotatsu with a wary look on her face.

One was Cuchulainn, who came to visit with fresh fish, and the other was Sasaki Kojiro, who stopped by for a visit.

"Don't be so cautious, Saber. We're not here to fight. I heard that Emiya cooks delicious fish, so I came here to try it. Of course, I informed him in advance." Cu Chulainn raised his beer. "Want a can?"

"No, Lancer." Artoria raised the teacup in her hand and said straight to the point: "But you and Assassin came here for more than just food, right?"

"Of course, I just saw some interesting scenes on the screen and wanted to share them with others." Sasaki Kojiro smiled faintly, "When it comes to swordsmanship, only you, Saber, can understand me here."

The so-called "interesting picture"... Altria could guess it was Jingliu without thinking too much.

"Lancer and I both believe that the Immortal Boat possesses even more exquisite sword and spear techniques, but unfortunately, we haven't had the chance to witness them yet."

Sasaki Kojiro's smile deepened. "Yanqing and Ren are both extraordinary in swordsmanship. There will definitely be a duel... Watching their swordsmanship is like drinking fine wine. Wouldn't it be a pity if I drank alone?"

"It's not a pity for you, but I'm bored." Thinking back to the "God of Spears", Cu Chulainn's expression became even more disappointed.

"Haha, Lancer, you have to be patient." Sasaki Kojiro said, "I believe that when Brother Danheng shows up again, he will not let you down."

"After having Yunqi take Zhixin, Lu Furong and the others away, Xing went to Shen Ce Mansion to find Qing Tu to report on his undercover work."

"After hearing this, Qing Zhu comforted him, 'Don't worry, your undercover operation was a success. Although your identity was exposed, you obtained a lot of valuable intelligence and were able to escape unscathed... I just didn't expect Zhi Xin to go down that evil path.'"

“Oh, by the way, this prescription…” Xing handed over the note that Zhixin had given her.”

"Unfortunately, Qing Tu is only a strategist and knows nothing about prescriptions. However, she did recommend a few alchemists stationed in Changletian to Xing, and told her to ask them herself."

"After leaving the Shen Ce Mansion, Xing quickly found a kind alchemist on Changletian Street and explained the whole story to him."

"He enthusiastically took the prescription and was about to help, but when he saw the herbs on it..."

"Uh... I'm sorry, I don't understand this recipe, and I don't think the other alchemists understand it either. I suggest you ask our chief alchemist, Lady Danshu. She's a blinded Tianque, yet she's more powerful than any of us."

"Following the guidance of the Danshi, Xing went to Ruomu Pavilion and found Danshu."

"But she had just arrived, and before she could even speak, Dan Shu took the initiative to say, "I've been waiting for you, Xing."

"How did you know it was me?" Xing asked in surprise.

"The alchemists of Changle Heaven all say she is a person with a missing heaven. There are certainly people on Xianzhou who are blind but have excellent hearing, but to be able to recognize someone you've never met... is too bizarre."

"Who wouldn't recognize you? I heard a hero in Changletian rescued the Medicine-Bearing Dragon Girl of the Chiming Clan."

Dan Shu's voice was quite gentle, as calm as the surface of a lake. "I heard from other alchemists that you have a prescription that you would like me to verify? Could you please read it to me?"

"Xing read through the list as instructed. At first, it was just some common herbs, so she didn't take it seriously. But when she read the last herb...even Xing couldn't help but gasp."

"Take 1 liang of Chi Ming marrow (must be taken while still alive) and let it sit in the mixture for twelve hours."

Rune Continent, Zaun.

"Extracting it alive... that's a very novel idea." Singed praised as he recorded the prescription that flashed across the screen. "Whoever came up with this kind of herbal ingredient must be a genius."

"Professor, do you want to study this too?" Hilco looked at him in disbelief. In his eyes, Singed was a calm - no, at least a rational person. He should know very well that none of the herbs that appeared in the light curtain could be found in Zaun, let alone all of them.

"Just a little interest." Singed's eyes swept over the various instruments and gadgets on the table. "I don't want to experiment with the entire formula. I'm just interested in the Vajra Marrow."

"Doctor, I must remind you... you don't have a demonic body." Silko sneered, "Even if you want the Bright Marrow, you should know it's impossible to obtain."

"...After all, no one can enter the light curtain and catch that little girl named Bai Lu."

"Of course I know that," Singed said. "But the characteristic of the Vidyadharas is their self-sustaining cycle of reincarnation. Their lives are like a cycle, a never-ending cycle of birth and death. While our world doesn't have Vidyadharas, we do have races very similar to them."

"Oh?"

"...Yordles." Singed slowly closed his notebook. "Legend has it that yordles can't even die. They have endless lives since birth. When they die, they return to Bandle City in a brand new form, just like the Vidyadharas. Presumably, their bone marrow..."

"Doctor, I think you should go and rest."

Hilco interrupted him, and before turning away, he took one last glance at the man out of the corner of his prosthetic eye.

Ever since Xing and the others came to the Immortal Boat, Singed has developed a special interest in the Demonic Yin Body. The abundant power seems to be particularly tempting to him, especially in the matter of life and death.

He seemed to want to bring something dead back to life...but when facing his collaborator, he kept his mouth shut and refused to reveal any information from beginning to end.

Chapter 108 Walter: Bad people don’t necessarily look like this, but those who look like this are definitely bad people

"After hearing the prescription, Dan Shu's expression remained unchanged. He didn't seem to think it was cruel or inhumane."

"Hmm... what a strange and sinister recipe. I roughly understand the principle behind this recipe. It aims to draw upon the power of the Dragonborn, allowing oneself to achieve... ascension."

"However, the specific pharmacology still needs to be verified by me, which may take some time." Dan Shu smiled faintly. "After all, I can't really take the Chi Ming marrow to test it, right?"

"Listening to her joking in a calm tone, Xing always felt a chill down her spine."

The continent of Teyvat, Bubulu.

"This alchemist master... is really not simple." Looking at the gentle and virtuous woman in the light curtain, Bai Zhu frowned slightly.

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Bai has seen something?" Xingqiu, who had come here to seek medical advice for his family, looked at Bai Shu in confusion. "Ms. Danshu is the leader of the Luofu Danding Division and one of the 'Six Imperials'... Could it be that Mr. Bai is amazed by her talent?"

"Talent is certainly one of them, but what shocked Bai Zhu the most... should be her courage, right?" The little white snake coiled around Bai Zhu's neck spit out a bright red tongue.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Changsheng." Bai Zhu nodded and said, "This Danshu, as a blind person with a missing body, has better hearing than ordinary people. I can understand that, but it is simply unbelievable that she can distinguish people based on this... Besides, she has never seen a star."

"Perhaps a Taoist priest informed her in advance?"

"That's certainly possible," Changsheng explained, picking up where Bai Zhu left off. "But Xing's footsteps are no different from those of an ordinary person. It's absurd that one can tell them apart just by hearing."

"So... this reminds me of the meeting between Xing and Zhixin. Xingqiu, do you remember how Zhixin discovered Xing?"

"Hmm, let me think... He said, 'The Compassionate Medicine King has given me sharp senses, so nothing can escape me...'"

"I-I see, I understand!" Xingqiu was halfway through his words when he finally realized, "Those who take the secret medicine on the Immortal Boat will have their senses heightened, and this Lady Danshu is also a recipient of the Medicine King's secret teachings!"

"Another key point...is the Danshu's attitude after hearing the prescription. Most alchemists would have changed their expressions drastically after hearing about the living extraction of the Chi Ming marrow, but this alchemist leader acted completely unsurprised."

Bai Zhu continued, "Does this mean that Dan Shu herself was one of the developers of this strange and cruel prescription?"

"What a lunatic..." A drop of sweat slid down Xingqiu's forehead. "One of the Six Imperial Guardians, is he staging a 'dark scene under the lamp'? He's truly quite courageous..."

"The two exchanged contact information, and Dan Shu said he would contact her again when he had the results."

"After finishing the job, Xing was about to go look for Uncle Yang and Sanyueqi, but suddenly she received a text message from Danheng on her phone."

Dan Heng: "Something happened just now. I'm on the Immortal Boat. Are you all okay?"

"Xing: "Why are you here on the Xianzhou? Is the train okay? What's going on?"

Dan Heng: "I'll take this as your reply of 'OK'. It's a long story. I'm at Liuyun Ferry with a cloud rider. I'll meet you guys as soon as I get out. The train is fine. I came here on my own. I'll tell you more when I have time."

"Xing: "Okay, then I'll tell you in detail."

“…………”

"Dan Heng put down his phone and looked up. Luosha and Sushang were resting not far away."

"We've encountered quite a few demonic beings along the way. Although we've avoided any danger, we're exhausted. So we decided to rest here for a while."

"Brother Danheng, are you from Luofu?" Luosha noticed Danheng's gaze and asked.

"..." Dan Heng replied in silence.

Luosha keenly sensed that Danheng seemed reluctant to answer, so he apologized, "I'm sorry for asking such a question. I sometimes struggle with the proper communication skills, and I hope I didn't offend you."

"Let's talk about you." Dan Heng, perhaps feeling it was impolite to remain silent, found a new topic and asked, "You don't look like you're from Xianzhou. Where are you from?"

"Traveling merchants have no affiliation, wandering the vast expanse of space, calling the starry sea their home. But if you're curious... my registered address in the Alliance is the Immortal Ship [Yuque], and Luosha is just my common name on that ship." Luosha smiled slightly. "Outside of that ship, I have a more difficult name to pronounce."

"Otto Apokalis." Walter Young said coldly.

"Is it possible that because they are isomorphs, his personality is completely different from Otto's?" Ji Zi on the other end of the phone first put forward a guess. After all, based on the information Luosha has shown so far, it is difficult to characterize him as a "bad guy."
