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 291 The Fourth Elder's Desperation

    But Wu De was much simpler. He directly summoned the turtle shell to enlarge it, and then he lay down on the ground, covering himself tightly.This is the benefit of a magic weapon. Under normal circumstances, using a magic weapon is similar to using a talisman. You can use a small amount of true energy to burst out different effects.However, some magical weapons consume extremely high amounts of true energy, but the power they unleash is also quite terrifying and cannot be stopped without powerful weapons.Just like the Fiery Sun Mirror used by the Third Elder before, although it consumes a lot of true energy to activate it once, if Qiu Yun didn't also have a magic weapon breastplate, his single blow would be enough to kill him.Arrows rained down from the sky, and the entire earth was riddled with holes. Suddenly, there was a pop, and it turned out that there was an oversight in Qi Dazui's golden claw, and a wooden thorn was pierced into his thigh.Blood gurgled out, and Qi Dazui s

  • Chapter 290

    The Third Elder's face turned pale. He glanced at the broken silver breastplate on Qiu Yun's chest, and a trace of unwillingness flashed across his face. The Fiery Sun Mirror consumed almost 70% of his true essence every time he activated it. He thought that deliberately exposing a flaw could catch the opponent by surprise.Unexpectedly, the opponent actually had a treasure armor to protect himself. Now that his true essence was depleted, it was troublesome.Without hesitation, he took out two spiritual stones and held them in his hands, turned around and ran. This time he was not deliberately exposing a flaw, but really wanted to escape."Where are you going!"At the moment when the Third Elder turned around, a delicate shout suddenly came from three feet in front of him. Li Qingping threw it casually, and a rope as thick as an arm suddenly flew out of his hand, and immediately wrapped the Third Elder tightly.Between breaths, the rope became tighter and tighter, directly making the

  • Chapter 289 An Ambush and a Strategic Retreat

    Two small dots suddenly appeared in the southern sky, and then began to slowly enlarge. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two old men in green robes with swords on their feet. One person has a big belly and a rosy complexion, while the other person is thin and has clear eyes.The two of them are the Third Elder and Fourth Elder of Yuyang Sect. This trip is a routine three-month spiritual stone transportation mission, and the spirit stones mined from the spiritual veins of Pingmo Mountain are being sent back to Yuyang Sect.In the past, the deacons of the sect were usually responsible for the transportation, but since they left the Burning Heaven Clan, the elders had to do it themselves. Although the two of them felt unhappy about this, there was nothing they could do about it.After all, Pingmo Mountain can produce almost 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones in a month, which is not a small amount accumulated in three months. If it is robbed, it will not be a trivial matter

  • Chapter 288 A Confounding Capture

    About four or five hours later, the sky went from dark to completely dark, and it began to be a little hazy again. He finally arrived above a desolate hill, where he could vaguely see the shadow of Chuyang Peak in the distance, but it was too far away to see clearly.He flew around the desolate hill, but still did not find any traces. He had no choice but to land on the hill and sit cross-legged to wait.Just when the sky was about to be completely bright, a black sword light flew from the north, hovered slightly over the valley fifty miles east of the desolate hill, and then rushed in.The flying sword was not high, and Bai Kaixuan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, so he did not find any abnormality at all."Senior, spare my life, I... Although I like to visit the building, I always pay for it, and I am kind-hearted and have never killed anyone. I am a good person, a good person!"In the valley, Xu Mo saw the man in black staring at him, and he felt something was wrong, crying

  • Chapter 287 Setting the Bait

    Lu Li nodded in appreciation, "It's good that you understand. It doesn't matter to me whether I kill you or not. I just want to use your mouth to help me convey some information.""Yes, senior, I understand, I understand."Senior Brother Xu complained bitterly. Even if he didn't understand, he had to pretend to understand, otherwise he might not survive today.During the flight, Lu Li suddenly said, "You should have heard of Pingmo Mountain, right?""I know, I know, it's a spiritual vein south of our Yuyang Gate, about a thousand miles away from our Yuyang Gate, I went there to do a mission." Senior Brother Xu answered truthfully."Yeah."Lu Li nodded and stopped talking. Senior Brother Xu was a little confused and didn't dare to speak. He could only pray that this guy would be kind and not kill him.In this way, about two hours passed.Mist suddenly began to appear on the mountains not far ahead. When Lu Li saw this, he immediately stopped, pointed at the misty mountains ahead, his e

  • Chapter 286 Setting a Trap

    After waiting for a while, Lu Li walked out of the stone ditch, put away the mother and child jade, and showed a thoughtful look.According to Qiu Yun, he asked Li Qingping and Jiang Ping to deal with the third elder of Yuyangmen with him, and the remaining Wu De, Qi Dazui, and the man surnamed Liu dealt with the fourth elder.It is said that this way, the three elders can be dealt with quickly, and then they can come back to help the three people.On the surface, there is indeed no problem.However, Wu De and the other two are only in the initial stage of minor success, while the fourth elder is already in the initial stage of perfection, and the people of the sect have always had a lot of trump cards, so I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with."This old guy really wants to rob the thieves!"Lu Li only analyzed it briefly and saw the key point, because... Qiu Yun himself is a mid-term minor success. In terms of cultivation alone, he can be on par with the three elders of Yuy
