Zhu Wanshan Came and Went
Lu Ping looked at the three little ones, and the corner of his mouth twitched twice.
Why is even the usually honest Little A starting to act sarcastic?
Little A, have you been hanging out with Little C behind my back lately?!
You're usually the most well-behaved person, so please don't follow your bad habits.
Alright, host, I'll forgive you this time, but don't do it again. You can't be this naughty in the future.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
You simply flipped your hand, took out a Jade Slip, and casually tossed it over.
"This matter is of utmost importance and will take a long time. When the time comes, I will naturally inform you of what needs to be done."
"Consider this Pill Formula my gift to Camp General Chen. Once it's submitted to the authorities, it should earn you a considerable amount of military merit."
[Chen Zhao subconsciously caught the Jade Slip, and as he scanned it with his Divine Sense, his previously cold and hard face twitched slightly.]
[The formula you provided is, of course, still the Lesser Taiyi Returning to Origin Pill formula.]
[This Pill Formula, which I used as a stepping stone last time, is now being presented as a gift.]
[After several simulations over a hundred years, you'll naturally understand that the world of cultivation isn't just about fighting and killing.]
[Chen Zhao, even after the Demon-Severing Cliff was destroyed, still single-mindedly protected everyone during their retreat, ultimately sacrificing himself. His character was truly exceptional.]
[Now that the benefits are in place, I feel more at ease getting things done.]
[This Small Taiyi Origin-Returning Pill isn't too difficult to refine, but its effects are extremely good; I wonder how many soldiers' lives it can save.]
[Chen Zhao held the Jade Slip, his breathing somewhat unsteady.]
[After a moment, he regained his composure and bowed deeply to you.]
"The divine lord's generous gift is too much for me to bear! I will not hesitate to accept this mission, even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire!"
[You don't show it on your face, but your mischievousness hasn't diminished at all. Tsk tsk, Camp General Chen, I still prefer your unruly side...]
[You've settled into the Third Medicine Camp, spending your days refining pills and cultivating your skills, patiently waiting for your prey to fall into your trap.]
Five days later, a thought struck you.
The person you're waiting for has arrived.
[You activated the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak, your figure disappearing into the Void. You stepped out of the Medicine Camp and quickly arrived at a stone platform thirty miles outside of the Demon-Severing Cliff.]
[Shortly afterward, the clouds churned, and the Profound Beast Taming Sect's demon-hunting Cloud Boat passed through the boundary barrier and landed on the stone platform.]
[The lower deck echoed with the roars of beasts, and the stench of blood seeped through the ship's deck.]
[The hatch opened, Zhu Wanshan strode out, his face beaming, even the wrinkles around his eyes radiating smugness.]
[Li Jingshi, who was in charge of the inspection, led his team forward, checked the number of beast cabins, and politely bowed.]
"The Elder Zhu have indeed gained a great deal from this trip."
[Zhu Wanshan stroked his beard and laughed heartily, flicking his sleeve and pointing to the iron cage where the prisoners were held in solitary confinement.]
"Thanks to the Demon-Suppressing Tower, the journey was smooth!"
"These Thundercloud Leopard cubs are of decent quality. They won't be included in the tax; consider it a small token of appreciation from our Profound Beast Taming Sect to reward our troops."
[Li Jingshi's expression softened; after checking the Travel Permit, he waved for them to pass.]
[The Profound Beast Taming Sect's Cloud Boat rose from the ground and headed towards the Cangxuan Central Region.]
[As soon as the ship entered the sea of clouds, Zhu Wanshan returned to his Quiet Chamber with light steps.]
[Zhu Wanshan opened the Quiet Chamber's Restriction, humming an off-key tune, and was about to sit down cross-legged.]
At that moment, he heard four words.
I’ll Make Three Points.
[I’ll Make Three Points, and they will take effect.]
[Zhu Wanshan's smile froze on his face; he stood rooted to the spot, his eyes vacant and blank.]
[The Great Five Elements Heaven-Trapping Formation, activate.]
[The entire Quiet Chamber has been transformed into a solitary prison.]
[In the last simulation, you were still in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, yet you were able to kill him in one move.]
[Now that you've reached the Early Spirit Transformation Stage, killing a Nascent Soul Perfection at the peak is no different than crushing an ant on the roadside.]
[However, since you're a cautious person, it's best to use all the Trait and stack the 33x damage to the maximum.]
[You raise your right hand and point at him in the distance.]
[Silver light flowed within his Dantian, and 10,800 flying blades transformed into a galaxy, engulfing Zhu Wanshan along with his natal Vermilion-Red Vulture, whose head had just emerged halfway from his body.]
[With a gentle twist of the Milky Way, Zhu Wanshan's physical body, Nascent Soul, and Fatebound Spirit Beast all vanished as spiritual light.]
[Star River returns to your Dantian, leaving only a Storage Ring and a Spirit Beast Bag.]
[To be honest, your attack was no easier than Gongshu Ke's.]
[You need to control the area of effect to avoid destroying Zhu Wanshan's Storage Ring and Spirit Beast Bag.]
This kind of operation, like carving with a large axe, is pure technical skill!
[You reached out and took the Storage Ring, erased the Divine Sense imprint on it, and retrieved a cold jade box covered with Spirit-Sealing Talisman.]
[The lid is lifted, revealing the Great Wind Raptor 'Fatebound True Blood, silently suspended in the center.]
[You sat Meditation Cushion -legged on the futon, opened your mouth, and swallowed the drop of dark gold true blood.]
[ For Heavy Tomato Users, this is in effect.]
[Salty Fish, in effect.]
[The Demon Qi and impure bloodline are stripped away, and the essence of your Qi and Blood explodes throughout your limbs and bones.]
[In the last simulation, this power ruptured your meridians and internal organs several times, and it took three days to refine it.]
[But right now your physical body has reached the fifth level of the Hundred-Forged Medicine Body Formula, and you've also reached the Spirit Transformation stage. This drop of true blood entering your stomach is like drinking a bowl of slightly scalding ginseng soup.]
[In less than half an hour, you absorbed all the energy of the entire drop of true blood.]
[After absorbing this true blood last time, I advanced from the Nascent Soul Early Stage to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, saving me decades of effort.]
[But now, he has only made a small step forward in his cultivation at the Early Spirit Transformation Stage.]
[The instant your true blood was exhausted, that familiar Divine Sense returned to your Sea of Consciousness, preparing to lie dormant.]
[It was the backdoor left by our old friend Golden Crow Demon Emperor.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: To be on the safe side, wrap it in a white cocoon with the Spirit-Winding Thread as before, and toss it into a corner of your Sea of Consciousness to slowly erase it.]
[B: This is the Azure Dragon Domain, what are we afraid of, some mere Heavenly Demon? We'll just grab it, chew it up, and swallow it to make up for our brains! Let's send it flying!]
[C: You Avatar a bully in your Sea of Consciousness, grabbing that wisp of divine thought and laughing maniacally: "Little Chunwu, do you really think my Sea of Consciousness is your backyard? Today I'll mold your sliver of consciousness into a haughty bird-winged girl with white fur, black silk, and golden eyes! Holding a leek, I'll have you dance the 'Leek Spin Song' eight hundred times on the spot, followed by 'Ultimate Bliss Pure Land'. Then I'll dress you in a sailor uniform, drag you to Greenwood Rampart for a touring performance of 'New Treasure Island,' and let the 100,000 hunks of the Demon-Suppressing Tower witness what a pure-hearted Heavenly Demon is all about!"]
