Tall Guy Is Senior Xu

The man stood up and pointed at the people from the Dao Palace, shouting, "You Cultivators are deliberately bullying me, a Mortal, aren't you?"

As he spoke, his face contorted into a cold, furious expression, quite frightening.

Yun Yao spoke, "We're not bullying you. Your horse got out of control. If we hadn't intervened, we would have been injured by the horse. We just acted a little too forcefully."

She hadn't expected the Dao Palace disciple to directly kill the horse, nor did she expect this Mortal to be so unreasonable.

"Shut up! Don't think we Mortals don't know that you Cultivators consider yourselves superior and never treat Mortals as people!" the man roared, his demeanor extremely radical.

Then, he pulled out a black Dao Medicine from his embrace and shoved it directly into his mouth.

Black energy erupted from the man's body, and his eyes were permeated with the dark energy, making him look terrifying.

He could no longer be considered a Mortal now, as he had released an aura of Spiritual Power.

"What's going on? He gained Spiritual Power Cultivation after eating a pill?" the Dao Palace disciple who had killed the horse exclaimed in shock.

Cultivators all started from Mortals, cultivating properly to slowly absorb Spiritual Power. There was no such thing as directly becoming a powerful Cultivator with immense Spiritual Power.

Unless, it was some special method used by an Evil Cultivator.

"Die for me! Go bury my horse!"

The man, covered in black energy, roared and threw a punch at the Dao Palace disciple who had killed his horse.

His fist was enveloped in a layer of black Spiritual Power, looking extremely bizarre.

The Dao Palace disciple didn't dare to be careless. He unleashed his Spiritual Power and slapped the man, sending him flying.

However, the next moment, the man sprang up from the ground and continued to charge at the people from the Dao Palace.

Qiang Di frowned slightly and flicked his finger, sending out a stream of Spiritual Power.

The Spiritual Power struck the man, piercing his heart directly.

The man fell to the ground, a pool of black blood flowing out.

Yun Yao frowned slightly and said, "This is the method of an Evil Cultivator. This person ate an Evil Cultivator's pill."

One pill allowed a Mortal to possess Spiritual Power Cultivation and lose their sense of pain.

This would overdraft the Mortal's life. Before long, the person who took the pill would die even without anyone else acting against them.

Qiang Di's expression turned cold. "We need to notify the nearby Sect, the Tianren Sect, and have them handle this matter."

Xu Yan returned to his Small Shop and immediately closed it.

The situation on the street just now was too terrifying. A person covered in black energy looked utterly sinister.

The Golden Emperor Ant spoke, "Master, that Mortal just now ate a Black Blood Pill. It can temporarily grant Spiritual Power Cultivation, but it's at the cost of overdrafting one's life. The person who takes the pill is bound to die. It's a very sinister pill."

It recalled a time when everyone in a city had consumed Black Blood Pills and all died tragically, a truly sorrowful memory.

"To eat such a pill for no good reason, they really can't think straight," Xu Yan remarked.

He was a Healer, capable of treating illnesses and compounding medicines, but almost none of the medicines he concocted were harmful.

He wondered what kind of person would research such a sinister pill.

"Master, let's eat the roast chicken first." The Golden Emperor Ant, smelling the aroma of the roast chicken, completely forgot about the incident on the street and said greedily.

The world is vast, but eating is paramount; this was its way of survival.

Xu Yan cut the roast chicken in half, giving one half to Su Jiuer, one half to the Golden Emperor Ant, and he himself ate another roast chicken separately.

Just as they finished the roast chicken, someone knocked on the door.

Xu Yan didn't open the door immediately. Instead, he called out, "Who is it?"

Tianren City was not peaceful these days. Doing business required caution; losing one's life carelessly would be a huge loss.

"Senior Xu, it's me, Qin Yudie."

A pleasant female voice sounded from outside the shop door. It was Qin Yudie, who hadn't visited Xu Yan in many days.

Xu Yan walked over and opened the door. Seeing Qin Yudie with a beaming smile, he asked, "You seem so happy. Did something good happen?"

As he spoke, he invited Qin Yudie into the Small Shop and then closed the door again.

Qin Yudie smiled and replied, "Seeing Senior Xu is a good thing."

She was very happy because she had completely mastered the Tianren Sword Technique.

Now, she had cultivated this sword technique to great success, and her strength had improved significantly.

"Your mouth is so sweet, like it's coated in honey," Xu Yan said with a smile.

However, he immediately thought of the incident on the street and told Qin Yudie about it.

He knew Qin Yudie was also a Cultivator and might have the means and ability to resolve this matter.

Upon hearing Xu Yan's words, Qin Yudie's expression turned solemn.

Evil Cultivators were a troublesome existence for normal Cultivators, no matter where they were.

Normal Cultivators wouldn't casually attack Mortals, but Evil Cultivators didn't care about that, resorting to any means to achieve their goals.

She looked at Xu Yan and said, "Senior Xu, I will tell my Grandpa about this matter and have him investigate it thoroughly."

She felt that Xu Yan was definitely worried about his reclusive life being disturbed, so he wanted to test her and see if she could find a way to resolve this issue.

"Are you and your Grandpa both cultivators? Are you considered powerful among cultivators?" Xu Yan suddenly asked, thinking of the cultivators on the street.

He felt that at least having the cultivation level of those people would be good for resolving this matter. Otherwise, if Qin Yudie and her Grandpa were just very weak cultivators, they wouldn't be able to solve it and might even get themselves into trouble.

Hearing Xu Yan's question, Qin Yudie was a bit unsure how to answer.

Her cultivation was top-tier among the younger generation, and her Grandpa, Qin Tian, was a powerhouse in the entire Southern Domain.

But what kind of person was Senior Xu? She and her Grandpa were insignificant in his presence, so how could they claim to be powerful before him?

Therefore, after much thought, Qin Yudie replied, "Our meager cultivation is not worth mentioning. The path of cultivation is endless, and we will aim to be like Senior Xu."

She felt this was the best answer. In front of Senior Xu, their cultivation was only meager, but Senior Xu would be their goal to strive for.

Hearing this, Xu Yan sighed inwardly. As expected, they were just minor cultivators. No wonder they often came to my place.

He thought to himself and said, "If you investigate this matter, also pay attention to your own safety. If you can't resolve it, let those powerful cultivators handle it. When the sky falls, the tall ones will bear it."

Hearing Xu Yan's words, Qin Yudie felt that Xu Yan was hinting for them to diligently investigate this matter and not be afraid.

Even if they encountered something they couldn't resolve, Senior Xu would solve it, so they should go all out.

When the sky falls, the tall ones will bear it. Aren't the tall ones referring to a reclusive expert like Senior Xu?

Thus, she confidently assured, "Yudie will convey Senior Xu's thoughts to Grandpa and will absolutely not let down Senior Xu's expectations."
