Sorry, Director, He'd Probably Built Up a Resistance

Body training suddenly became popular, though I don't know when.

That's strange.

Not only did the other disciples watching feel strange, but even Yi Changge was somewhat puzzled.

Have I started a craze for body-refining techniques?

Right? I told you, a real man should train his body!

Yi Changge's muscles bulged as he watched his disciples crashing into the trees with a look of satisfaction.

Keep it up!

Once you reach that level, I will teach you an advanced method.

Thinking back to the electric shock I experienced that day, I have to say it was quite exhilarating, though I was unconscious for a rather long time.

The atmosphere for cultivation is strong on the back mountain.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao encountered another side quest.

Just yesterday, he stepped into this small mountain village.

The people in the mountain village are just strange.

They seem to dislike outsiders.

When they see Lin Hao, they avoid him. When they see Lin Hao walking through the village, they even go straight home and close their doors.

Lin Hao didn't consider himself particularly ugly, at least not bad-looking enough to scare people away.

Could it be that other cultivators are bullying them?

So you want to run away whenever you see a stranger?

Sitting on a rock at the village entrance, Lin Hao fell into thought.

It's only noon, and the whole village is deserted. It's really strange.

Gu Yuan appeared next to Lin Hao, glancing at the village. There were all sorts of instruments there, but he didn't know what they were for.

The production team always comes up with some fancy tricks.

As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens.

From beginning to end, those villagers who returned home never reappeared.

Is it fear?

Or what?

As darkness fell, Lin Hao looked around, carefully observing the surroundings.

In the world of cultivation, every strange behavior has a traceable cause.

A gentle breeze blew by, and a cool sensation crept into Lin Hao's back.

It's quite cold today.

He muttered a few words to himself, glanced at the village, and walked inside.

Yellow paper?

Are there any more runes?

As I passed by some houses, I noticed that yellow paper had been pasted on the doors.

He hadn't seen these things when he first came in.

There was no fluctuation of Spiritual Qi.

They are all ordinary things.

"Daddy, I need to go outside to pee."

Inside a pitch-black room, a little girl's voice could be heard.

"What are you peeing for? If you wet the bed, I'll wash you tomorrow!"

"Shut up, talk less at night."

After those three simple sentences, the room fell silent.

What's the meaning?

Why can't I even pee outside? And why am I told to talk less at night?

With doubts in his heart, Lin Hao continued walking forward.

Along the way, every household had yellow paper pasted on their doors, which looked quite eerie.

Hoo hoo hoo~

The wind is still blowing.

The air was blown into Lin Hao's neck, causing his body to tingle slightly.

Although he had cultivated to the late stage of Qi Refining, he had never actually seen a ghost or anything like that.

Today is so strange, could it be that we've really encountered something unclean?

Swallowing hard, Lin Hao gripped his longsword tightly and sat quietly against a wall next to a house.

This place was too eerie; he didn't intend to continue.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

It sounded like the wind, yet it also sounded like panting; the sound was complex and hard to distinguish.

"Hehehe."

Suddenly, a series of "hehehe" sounds came from somewhere, seemingly from afar, yet also seemingly from behind.

But there are houses behind me, so how could such a sound be coming from there?

Lin Hao focused his mind, ready to unleash his sword at the slightest disturbance.

As for what I can cut down, who cares?

What kind of demon is this?

With the longsword standing before him, Lin Hao's gaze swept over the pitch-black surroundings as he spoke in a low voice.

The only response he received was the sound of the wind, the sound of the water, and the rustling of leaves.

My body feels a little numb?

Strangeness.

At this moment, Lin Hao sensed that something was wrong with his body, so he used his Spiritual Qi to cleanse his body.

What did I tell you? They've developed resistance, haven't they?

Gu Yuan, standing to the side, looked somewhat helpless.

That's right, the numbness in my body was caused by the drug.

He's at least a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator now, and he's been used so many times.

If it can't hold on, that's the real problem.

Director's Room.

Silence.

The director looked at Lin Hao on the screen, and his face turned green.

"Props team, you'd better explain this."

The director closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said.

"I'm sorry, director, he should have developed resistance by now, but he shouldn't."

"This dosage was taken into account for resistance, so theoretically it shouldn't be..."

The props team leader stammered, then seemed to remember something and offered an explanation.

"My question?"

The director opened his eyes, glanced at the other person, and asked a question in return.

"Change it immediately! Increase the dosage immediately!"

Upon hearing the director's words, the props team leader immediately nodded and left.

In a mountain village.

Lin Hao felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

This can't go on.

He used his longsword to stab his own arm, and a sharp pain immediately rose within him, making him feel much more alert.

My back feels a little weak.

The alert Lin Hao noticed something was wrong behind him and immediately turned around.

The original house has vanished?

It was just here!

No, if there was nothing there, why did I feel something soft just now?

A strange feeling filled Lin Hao's mind, making his already somewhat confused brain even more uncomfortable.

What about the other houses?

Then he turned around again.

The houses in other locations also disappeared.

This is fucking ghostly.

Cold sweat broke out on Lin Hao's forehead. He felt that he should not stay here any longer and had to leave.

"Hehehe, it's been a while since anyone's come, little brother."

A strange voice sounded, seemingly both male and female, making it impossible to discern the gender.

"Brother, you stepped on my head, it hurts!"

Another sound rang out beneath Lin Hao's feet.

It's absolutely terrifying.

"Sneaky and underhanded, but that's all!"

Holding the longsword, Lin Hao felt unsteady on his feet and swung the sword around.

That's right, he's still as stubborn as ever.

The mixed Spiritual Qi created a sound that cut through the air.

They didn't kill anything.

After all, the sound system was hidden very well; the props team really put in a lot of effort.

Thousands upon thousands of white phantoms appeared, drifting in the air.

They have no visible faces, only eerie cries.

Hehehe.

The sound surrounded Lin Hao's ears, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't cut it off.

He's at the late stage of Qi Refining!

"Little brother, you're mine now. I've branded you, you can't escape, hehehehe."

Before Lin Hao completely lost consciousness, he clearly saw a woman in white standing in front of him, touching his brow with her hand from a distance.

Then, Lin Hao felt a sharp pain.

I completely fainted.

Technology is always the same old thing, I didn't expect Lin Hao to be so forgetful.

Beside him, Gu Yuan appeared in the open space, his gaze falling on the white phantoms before looking down at the ground.

Virtual projections, and mechanical houses.

The former is very simple; it's just projection.

The latter is simpler; it's just that the house sinks down and the ground sits on top of it.

In addition, there are the effects of a sedative.

The whole process was actually just Lin Hao scaring himself.

Still too young.
