Seeing Ling Lianhua like this, Jiang Zhen spoke directly:
"Don't get too happy too soon. You should know, my energy is not the same as other energies. This is cosmic energy, containing all kinds of energies, including radiation energy. Just now, I only used a bit of bioenergy. However, having stayed inside my body for a long time, it will also carry radiation energy. Though it won't kill you immediately, over time, it will let the power of radiation harm your body. This way, it's even more terrifying than that so-called Bicha poison. I sensed it—you should only have three days. In three days, you must convert your qi and cultivate the Golden Light Spell. The rest depends on your own ability. But for now, let Uncle Jiu give it a try!"
Immediately, Uncle Jiu took out a talisman and directly stuck it onto Ling Lianhua's dantian. The talisman rapidly transformed into a verdant green color. Seeing this, Uncle Jiu's eyes lit up, and he said:
"It worked, it's useful. But this poison seems very potent; it should take a considerable amount of time. And this kind of talisman isn't easy to draw! If I want to completely detoxify you, I'll need some more time!"
After hearing this, Ling Lianhua carefully sensed the Bicha poison within his body, smiled, and said:
"Uncle Jiu's talisman is indeed powerful. I can clearly feel that a portion of the Bicha poison inside me has been drawn out."
In the following days, Uncle Jiu kept drawing talismans, Ling Lianhua worked hard on cultivating the Golden Light Spell and the Yang Five Thunder, Zhang Chulan was converting and getting used to Yangzhou Slow, cultivating Prosperous Steps, and cultivating the Xiangyi Tai Sword. Only Jiang Zhen had nothing to do all day, wandering around Renjia Town, looking for food. Until half a month later, in the Mourning Hall, Jiang Zhen looked at the three and said:
"Are you sure you really want to do this?"
Ling Lianhua's complexion had already become ruddy, and his overall strength had recovered to about fifty or sixty percent of his prime. Ling Lianhua nodded and said:
"We have no choice. The remaining bit of Bicha poison is extremely stubborn. After cultivating the Yang Five Thunder, I could sense that it can precisely erode the Bicha poison inside me. But unless I cultivate the Yang Five Thunder to great completion, it's very difficult to completely eradicate that bit of Bicha poison. And cultivating to great completion in a short time is impossible, so there's only this one way. I will draw the thunder from outside into my body, using external force to completely eradicate that bit of Bicha poison. Otherwise, as long as a trace remains, it will keep regenerating endlessly. It's best to take this opportunity now to thoroughly wipe it out. I just calculated—with Zhang Chulan's Yang Five Thunder cultivation, plus Uncle Jiu's Five Thunder Talisman, I can use these two external forces, along with my own Yang Five Thunder, to completely annihilate that bit of Bicha poison!"
After hearing this, Jiang Zhen nodded and said:
"Alright, if you think there's no problem, then go ahead!"
In the following time, the three went into seclusion to detoxify, while Jiang Zhen stayed outside with Wencai.
"Wencai!"
Wencai immediately looked over upon hearing this: "Senior, do you have something?"
Jiang Zhen: "Go to the door. Someone is coming outside. Oh, right, remember—if that person asks, tell him your master is in seclusion and won't see anyone. If he insists on meeting, let him set a time, but don't let them in!"
Hearing this, Wencai immediately nodded, then scurried to the door. Soon, voices came from the door—Wencai's and an old, hoarse one. After a while, Wencai closed the door and walked back.
"Senior, how did you know someone was coming?"
Jiang Zhen: "Haha, I'm just gifted. Alright, was it Master Ren of Renjia Town?"
Wencai: "Senior is amazing! It was Master Ren's steward. Master Ren wants to relocate his old father's grave, so he came to find my master. But, Senior, isn't it bad that we didn't let him in?"
Jiang Zhen: "Heh, right now, things inside are at a critical juncture. If they were disturbed... heh, I reckon your master would beat you to death. Do you believe that?"
Hearing this, Wencai shuddered all over, then gave a silly grin and immediately went to clean the yard. Seeing this, Jiang Zhen just chuckled and said nothing more.
In the blink of an eye, a day and a night passed. Early the next morning, Jiang Zhen looked at the three who had come out, especially Li Lianhua. Though his face was a bit pale, his entire essence, qi, and spirit were completely different.
"Haha, looks like you succeeded. Perfect timing, then—since it worked, we can start preparing the mission.
Uncle Jiu, Master Ren is here to see you. He wants you to handle his old man's grave relocation."
Uncle Jiu froze for a moment, then said:
"You mean that matter you mentioned before is starting now?"
Jiang Zhen nodded. "Yeah. Your trouble's here."
Uncle Jiu gave a helpless smile. Meanwhile, Zhang Chulan sidled up with a grin and asked:
"Brother Wen Cai, do you know where they invited Uncle Jiu to discuss things?"
Wen Cai: "At the Western Tea Restaurant in town."
Hearing this, Zhang Chulan's eyes flickered. He said:
"Uncle Jiu, how about I come with you this time? I've done a bit of research on Western tea.
I'm no expert, but drinking coffee—it's mostly about adding milk, sugar, that sort of thing.
I know most of it!"
At that, Uncle Jiu, who had been worrying about how to handle the visit, broke into a smile.
"Haha, fine then. The day after tomorrow, Chulan, you'll come with me."
Zhang Chulan nodded firmly, thinking to himself:
"Damn! I've gotta go see for myself what that Ren Tingting—the one who, like Uncle Jiu, becomes every transmigrator's wife—actually looks like!"
Jiang Zhen saw right through Zhang Chulan's intentions but said nothing.
A day later, Uncle Jiu led Zhang Chulan and Wen Cai away, heading toward the town.
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhen and Li Lianhua stayed in the Mourning Hall, drinking tea together.
Then, Li Lianhua suddenly spoke:
"Jiang Zhen, can I ask you something?"
Jiang Zhen: "Oh? What is it?"
Li Lianhua: "When you first arrived, you spilled everything about yourself. Were you really that trusting of us?"
Jiang Zhen narrowed his eyes at this, then chuckled:
"Hm? Old Li, what do you mean by that?"
Li Lianhua: "You didn't tell us everything, did you?"
Jiang Zhen's lips curled slightly. "Oh? What are you getting at?"
Li Lianhua: "What you said before—it sounded like a lot, even your identity and origins. But when you sum it up, there are only a few points.
One: You're a Transmigrator!
Two: You're a Pangu Clansman!
Three: You're currently in the Supergod Universe.
The rest was just your hardships—how terrifying the Supergod Universe is.
But honestly, none of that is all that useful, is it?
Those three things—we'd naturally find them out over time anyway.
So why reveal them now? What are you really after?"
Jiang Zhen heard this, picked up his teacup, took a light sip, and slowly said:
"Old Li, you don't need to be so wary of me.
I don't have any designs on you all. I just want some mission points.
The reason I spoke up was simply to make it clear—my strength means I want to participate in every mission from now on."
Li Lianhua: "Just that?"
Jiang Zhen: "What else? What do you think I could do? Destroy the world? Or something else?
Keep in mind, the Myriad Worlds Chat Group exists to maintain the worlds. I'm not about to go against it.
Who knows what kind of power is backing this group?
I won't act recklessly. Alright, I'm off to cultivate."
With that, Jiang Zhen strolled slowly into the distance.
