Chapter 9: The Price of immorality

"Done?"

Zhang Song, overjoyed, stepped over Lu Li and Chen Zhong and grabbed Qin Shouren. "How is it? What does it feel like?"

Qin Shouren, seeing Lu Li and Chen Zhong on the ground, feigned pain. "I… I feel so uncomfortable!" He then collapsed.

"Himph, you dare tease me?" Zhang Song grabbed Qin Shouren's neck. "Uncomfortable? I'll crush you!"

"No!" Chen Zhong cried, getting up. "I'll talk!"

Seeing no way out, Lu Li stood up.

Zhang Song released Qin Shouren and looked at Chen Zhong. "Tell me the truth, and I might accept you as a disciple. Lie, and you'll regret it."

Then, he changed his mind. "Wait, come with me."

He took Chen Zhong into a side room.

After a while, he brought Chen Zhong out, then took Lu Li and Qin Shouren in. "Tell me the truth. If your stories don't match, you all die."

Old fox!

Lu Li cursed Zhang Song inwardly but dared not lie.

After hearing their accounts, Zhang Song laughed. "Hahaha, I succeeded!"

He rushed out, rummaging on the altar. "Where's the last prescription?"

Fan Zhengping, who handled the medicine and fire, also recorded prescriptions. Without it, everything was for naught.

"I forgot," Fan Zhengping stammered.

"What?!" Zhang Song's eyes reddened. He grabbed Fan Zhengping. "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Master, am I really less than a recipe?" Fan Zhengping asked, disappointed.

"You!" Zhang Song softened. "Zhengping, this recipe is vital. Give it to me, and I'll nurture you."

"Nurture me?" Fan Zhengping cried. "I'm useless! Your slap crippled my dantian! That dantian is gone—I threw it into the fire!"

"You're asking for death!" Zhang Song raised his hand to strike Fan Zhengping's crown.

Fan Zhengping didn't dodge, staring at Zhang Song.

Zhang Song stopped. "Death is too easy. I'll torture you slowly…"

He looked at the courtyard gate. Three people in green, with sun-shaped silver badges and green swords, walked in.

"Qingyang Sect!" Lu Li was pleased.

"You came quickly!" Zhang Song said, walking down. "How dare you trespass?"

The leader said calmly, "Zhang Song, you dare use living people for experiments in our territory!"

"So what? Monks die. Mortals are ants. They should contribute."

"How dare you!" A girl in green was furious. "You defy heaven and block reincarnation. It's unforgivable!"

She stepped forward, green Qi turning into vines, wrapping around Zhang Song.

"You dare be arrogant, level six brat?"

Zhang Song released fiery red Qi, igniting the vines.

The girl paled, falling to the ground.

Zhang Song's flames surged toward her.

"Junior Sister Xinyi, careful!" The other two shouted, pulling her back.

"Only level seven? You're no match for me!"

Zhang Song unleashed more fire.

"He's strong," Lu Li said, worried.

Fan Zhengping walked toward them.

Lu Li frowned. "What do you want?"

Fan Zhengping, trembling, gave Lu Li a yellow paper. "This… the acupoint-piercing pill recipe. I'm finished. I give it to you."

"Recipe?" Lu Li asked, surprised. "Why?"

Fan Zhengping glanced at Zhang Song. "He'll be killed anyway. I was captured too. Today, I realize nothing changed. You're still a mortal…" He swallowed a dark pill. "Test subject… Fan Zhengping is here…"

Fan Zhengping fell, twitching.

"Karma?" Lu Li murmured, storing the recipe.

The battle raged.

Zhang Song and the Qingyang Sect members were exhausted. The Qingyang Sect members had the advantage, thanks to talismans and pills.

Monk battles are about more than realm.

Fan Zhengping walked to Lu Li.

Lu Li frowned, wary.

"I… mean no harm," Fan Zhengping stammered, offering the recipe. "I'm finished. I give it to you."

"Recipe?" Lu Li asked, surprised. "Why?"

Fan Zhengping glanced at Zhang Song. "He'll be killed anyway. I was captured too. Today, I realize nothing changed. You're still a mortal…" He swallowed a pill. "Test subject… Fan Zhengping is here…"

Fan Zhengping fell, twitching.

"Karma?" Lu Li murmured, storing the recipe.

  • Chapter 91 Setting the Stage

    Seeing the two of them leave the town, a servant who followed them from a distance turned his eyes and headed towards the Dihu Village.It was still early at this time, and the two of them moved very quickly. After a while, they reached the halfway point of the branch mountain. After Lu Li knocked out a primary demon beast with one punch, Wu De exclaimed: "When did you reach the fifth level!" He had never checked Lu Li's cultivation level, so this scared him a lot."It's already here." Lu Li said casually while packing up the animal skins."Really?" Wu De stared at the busy Lu Li, his eyes flashing, but they hid again in an instant, thinking that after I deal with Zhang Song, I will deal with you by the way. I want to see what secrets you have.After the processing was completed, the two set off again.At midnight, the two finally crossed the main vein and came to the branch area of Bairi Town.In a valley about 20 miles away from Bairi Town, Lu Li stopped and pretended to look around

    "Um."The two came to the restaurant, and at Lu Li's request, Xiao He also sat down and ate together. Lu Li was eating heavily, making slurping noises from time to time, while Xiao He kept his head buried and didn't make a sound, looking a little reserved.Lu Li shook his head and said nothing.After eating, Lu Li went directly to the other courtyard where Li Chenghu was. To be honest, in terms of elegance, Li Chenghu's yard is not as good as Bihu Garden.Li Chenghu was practicing boxing in the backyard. There were gusts of wind as he moved around. His strong body did not feel bulky at all. Suddenly, Li Chenghu turned around, changed direction and rushed towards the courtyard gate with a whoosh. The fist was directed towards Lu Li's face.Lu Li frowned slightly and instantly moved two feet to the right. At the same time, he made a fist with his right hand and punched Li Chenghu's wrist.Boom!Li Chenghu only felt a huge force on his wrist, and his arm was swung to the side. He couldn'

    Lu Li went straight back to his residence on the east side of the inner courtyard without stopping.After closing the door, he couldn't wait to enter the medicine garden. Looking at the bundle of sickly green bamboo grass, Lu Li didn't dare to delay. He untied the rope and took inventory, and found that there were a total of 134 plants. Then he started to get busy and planted all the plants one by one.After planting, Lu Li did not leave, but quietly stared at the green bamboo grass. After a while, the shrunken leaves began to slowly relax, and then the stems and leaves began to turn green, exuding a faint bamboo fragrance. It was only at this moment that Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief. This medicine garden is indeed magical. In this way, he will have one hundred and fifty green bamboo grasses.After confirming that there was no problem, Lu Li entered the Time Palace again and started practicing boxing and body skills.Youlong Village's CrisisAt the same time, in Youlong Village, Yu

  • Chapter 88 A Stroke of Luck

    Lu Li stared at the opponent's back and considered it, but still did not pursue him.The method of refining blood essence is indeed rare in the secular world, but it is not rare for the sect. At worst, you can go back to Qingyang Sect or find someone from Qingyang Sect to get one.After a short interlude, Lu Li continued shopping for a while. Unfortunately, after looking around the entire gathering, I didn't find anyone selling alchemy furnaces."Fellow Taoist, take a look at the elixir. The one we just picked is still fresh." Just as Lu Li was about to leave, the owner of the stall next to him suddenly waved to him and shouted.Hearing this, Lu Li glanced at the stall and saw a bunch of elixirs scattered and haphazardly placed on it. Most of them were not mature enough and were a little yellow.Suddenly, he glanced at the pile of half-foot-tall bamboo-like plants on the left-hand side of the stall owner, pretending not to understand, and asked, "What is this?"This is obviously green

  • chapter 87 Earth Milk Essence

    "What do you know!" Lu Li pretended to be displeased, "My master gave me a treasure. After being arranged, it can instantly kill any monk below the tenth level of Qi training. However, this thing cannot be moved, and I need to use my spiritual consciousness to drive it to detonate it.""So, I need someone to lure Zhang Song out."Wu De was immediately moved after hearing this. He thought that this boy actually had such a treasure. After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. He stared at Lu Li suspiciously and said, "Take it out and show it to me."Lu Li's face darkened when he heard this: "Brother, don't you think this is too much! This is my trump card, how can I show it to others at will. If you don't want to, forget it, anyway, in the end I only have two Pulse Nourishing Pills. , but you...haha, that pool full of earth milk essence...what a pity.""A full pool?""I'm afraid I don't know yet, but I saw clearly last time that the stone basin was filled with the essence of e

  • Chapter 86 Old Acquaintances and a New Plan

    "Boy, why are you looking like this? You are afraid that I will eat you." Wu De stared at Lu Li quietly."Ahem, that's not true, it's just a bit unexpected." Lu Li laughed dryly, "Long time no see, bro."Speaking of Wu De, Lu Li really had to admire him. More than a year ago, they were both chased by Zhang Song at the same time. He thought that the other person had died in Zhang Song's hands, but he didn't expect that he was still alive and well."Haha, it's been a long time." Wu De said with some emotion, "I thought your kid was shot to death by Zhang Song, which made me sad for a long time. I didn't expect you to be still alive and kicking. It's true that good people don't live long... ..."Lu Li was speechless. Listen, is this what a human said? At least he was just thinking about it in his mind, but this guy actually said it directly.So he said politely: "To each other!""Hey, boy, I really like you more and more...""Heh." Lu Li glanced at Wu De, rolled his eyes and said, "By th
