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 1225 Cost of Purple Arc Crystals

    There are many broad-leaved trees on both sides of the wide road outside the Wu family, but in this winter month, the leaves on them have all fallen, leaving only strips of bare branches, which looks a bit desolate in autumn.Five figures, three in front and two behind, walked slowly on the wide and deserted road, silent and speechless."Brother Tian, what do you think?"When they were halfway there, the noisy crowd on the main road outside was already in sight. Han Qiu suddenly broke the silence, glanced at Tian Feng next to him, and said as he walked.Tian Feng smiled slightly, "A man cannot stand without trust. I heard that the ancestor of the Wu family seems not to be at home."Hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly changed, but no one immediately responded.There was a silence for a while.Guan Chengxiao suddenly laughed and said, "I think the head of the Wu family is just eager to save his son. Why do you Taoist friends think so much? Didn't he say that he would host a ba

  • Chapter 1224 The Return

    Tian Feng's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal, "That's right, we just came back from Shenhaiyuan, I wonder what Brother Gu meant by hunting down the murderer?""Humph! Some time ago, someone sneaked into our Gu family and assassinated the second young master Gu Qing. We came here just for this matter." The red-robed old man next to Gu Bai said in a deep voice.Assassinated Gu Qing!Tian Feng and his companions looked at each other in surprise.Who is this? It's too bold. Killing people from the Gu family is fine, but sneaking into the Gu family to kill people?!"Brother Tian, since you just came back from Shenhaiyuan, I believe you have nothing to do with that person, but it's a matter of business. Please cooperate with me and let me go on board to check." Gu Bai spoke again."Well, I definitely have no objection."Tian Feng smiled embarrassedly and looked at Lu Li next to him, "However, the owner of this spiritual boat is this old man. Brother Gu wants to searc

  • Chapter 1223 The Wuchen Taoist

    After Lu Li finished speaking, he turned and walked towards his room.Wu Qingfeng was slightly stunned, respectfully sent Lu Li away, then chose an unoccupied room and walked in.Lu Li returned to the room and immediately took out a bundle of dusty jade slips, holding them in his hand and looking at them carefully.There are only a few ancient characters on the jade slip, 'Wuchen Taoist Sutra', and a seal of imparting power.There is no doubt that this is a bundle of jade slips."Wuchen Taoist Sutra, is it really because of the inability to achieve it?"Just looking at the name, Lu Li couldn't help but get a little excited. The mental method he practiced before was the 'Wuwei Dao Sutra', which was only one word different from the 'Wu Chen Dao Sutra'.This made him have to suspect that this jade slip was a mental method.Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't wait to point and inject a stream of true energy into the transfer mark.Suddenly, the power transfer mark flashed, and dense blue cha

    Seeing this scene, Lu Li felt heartbroken and became a little nervous.Then, he used his pupil technique to look around. This time, he found purple mist mixed with purple filaments in the left front and not far to the right.This scared Lu Li so much that he didn't dare to move forward at all. He quickly turned around and retreated back to the way he came.Although he was returning along the original route, Lu Li did not dare to put away his pupil technique and looked forward all the way."Sure enough, there has been a change!"But not long after walking, Lu Li found a patch of purple mist mixed with filaments in front of him. He remembered clearly that there was no problem with this location before.Then there was only one possibility, that this purple mist area had suddenly changed for some reason.And the timing of this change was most likely related to the strange wind just now.With this discovery, Lu Li could not help but be more careful.He directly avoided that area and walked

    At this time, Guan Chengxiao was also looking to the right. It was obvious that the sound was not made by him."Don't think too much, it's just a rotten bone."Tian Feng's voice sounded in the mist, letting everyone know what happened. Presumably, Tian Feng accidentally stepped on some bones."Hey, with such a small sight, even if there is a chance, it will take forever to find it." Guan Chengxiao looked around and shook his head and muttered."Yes, I don't know how big the range of this purple fog is. If it goes on like this, I don't know when I will find it." A muttering voice also came from the mist on the right."We have been walking for half an hour. In my opinion, this fog is not dangerous. Why don't we search separately? Whether there is a chance depends on our luck. How about it?"Tian Feng's voice came again in the mist, but he could not see where he was.Everyone fell silent after hearing this.After a while, Han Qiu's eyes flashed and he left the team first. Seeing this, th

    After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.They didn't expect that Lu Li would fall out with Han Qiu because of a junior foundation builder.Wu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a sore nose. He buried his head and couldn't help but wet his eyes. Ever since his parents passed away, it seemed that no one else had ever taken such good care of him. Even the elders of the Wu family mostly bossed him around. She is afraid that he will become stronger but thinks he is too weak..."Fellow Daoist Lu, are you serious?" Han Qiu said with an ugly expression."What? Do you want Fellow Daoist Han to show off with me?"Lu Li's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he stared at Han Qiu coldly, "I might as well tell you that this guy is very pleasing to me. If you insist on having your own way, I don't mind stretching your muscles.""Senior, forget it..." Wu Qingfeng was moved but did not want to cause trouble to Lu Li."Hmph! That won't work. This guy just glared at me, so he
