Counterattack against the conspiracy of the accusation using the Xuanhuang Pill (Please subscribe)

Qin Shuhang, the senior patrolman Qingyun True Person in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, looked at Deacon Zhao expressionlessly and said in a flat voice, "Deacon Zhao, what you said is not true."

That fellow practitioner from Qian Tong personally stated that it was merely a friendly exchange, and if there was nothing else, we would like to take our leave.

Zhao Tianming's expression changed, and he was about to speak when Hou Qing stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Please wait, you two guards."

o

He pointed in the direction Qian Tong had gone and said urgently, "Just now, Qian Tong ran out of Wang Mengde's courtyard with a look of terror on his face. You all saw it with your own eyes."

He must have been threatened by Wang Mengde, which is why he dared not tell the truth.

Please, two patrol guards, investigate thoroughly. Wang Mengde has committed violence and assault and should be expelled from Jade Wave Island.

Qin Shuhang frowned slightly, about to speak, when he saw a light suddenly appear on the small courtyard not far away that was shrouded in a dark blue Light Barrier, and a crack appeared in the Light Barrier.

Wang Mengde came out from inside.

With a calm expression and unhurried steps, he walked up to the two guards, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "You two have come at the right time. I have something to report."

Qin Shuhang looked him up and down. "What is it?"

Wang Mengde looked at Zhao Tianming and Hou Qing, his voice clear and unhurried. "Just now, two fellow Daoists attacked my protective Light Barrier one after another. According to the rules of Jade Wave Island, this should be considered a provocation, right?"

He paused, then continued, "I just had a friendly conversation with that fellow practitioner Qian Tong, and he told me personally that he was instigated by Deacon Zhao."

He also said that Deacon Zhao was planning to continuously send people to attack my protective Light Barrier, attempting to provoke me and force me to take action so that the patrol guards would expel me from Jade Wave Island.

Wang Mengde's gaze fell on Zhao Tianming's face, and his voice suddenly rose. "This is clearly a provocation against the rules of the Shattered Star Archipelago, a slap in the face to the Shattered Star Archipelago."

Upon hearing this, a hush fell over the surroundings.

Zhao Tianming's face darkened completely, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Hou Qing became even more agitated, pointing at Wang Mengde and angrily saying, "You're making baseless accusations! Do you dare swear that you didn't threaten Qian Tong?"

Wang Mengde glanced at Hou Qing, noting him down in his mental notebook, then turned to Zhao Tianming: "Deacon Zhao, do you dare swear that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Zhao Tianming's face darkened, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't utter a single word.

This matter is indeed related to him, but he dares not make this oath.

Seeing this, Wang Mengde's lips curled up slightly. He turned to the two guards again and said in a clear voice, "Guards, please look. Deacon Zhao doesn't even dare to swear an oath."

The Evergreen Sect's deacon openly attacked the protective Light Barrier of the Shattered Star Archipelago' tenants, which is a provocation against the rules of the Shattered Star Archipelago.

If everyone acted like him, how could the rules of the Shattered Star Archipelago be respected?

Qin Shuhang glanced at Wang Mengde, his gaze deep, as if he were re-evaluating this young Qi Refining cultivator.

A moment later, he turned his head and looked coldly at Zhao Tianming. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority. "Deacon Zhao, this isn't the Evergreen Sect. If you continue to send people to attack this fellow Daoist's protective Light Barrier without cause, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhao Tianming's face was extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly.

He stared intently at Wang Mengde, but ultimately did not lash out on the spot.

"Walk."

He uttered a single word coldly, turned and walked away, his steps quick and hurried.

Hou Qing and the other Evergreen Sect cultivators quickly followed, and the group slunk away.

Qin Shuhang withdrew his gaze and looked at Wang Mengde, sizing him up from head to toe.

This young man was able to remain so calm and composed, and act with such composure, in the face of the pressure from the Foundation Establishment cultivator and the coercion from the Evergreen Sect deacon.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist," Qin Shuhang's voice was steady and powerful. "Anyone who dares to maliciously attack your protective Light Barrier afterward will be severely punished."

The rules of Jade Wave Island are not just for show.

He spoke loudly, intending to deter troublemakers and uphold the rules and authority of the Shattered Star Archipelago.

His voice carried on the wind, clear and powerful, like a heavy hammer striking everyone's heart.

In the shadows surrounding the restaurant, the divine senses of the three Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators fluctuated slightly before receding somewhat.

Several Qi Rogue Cultivators who were watching from a corner in the distance felt a slight chill upon hearing this.

The guards of Jade Wave Island are known for keeping their word, and Qin Shuhang is famously incorruptible. It seems this time they're serious.

Wang Mengde bowed respectfully, his voice sincere. "Thank you, Guard Qin."

Qin Shuhang nodded without saying anything more. He and his companion made hand seals at the same time, and two Flying Swords flew out from their sleeves and unfolded at their feet.

The two leaped up, transforming into two streaks of azure light that soared through the air and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Inside a restaurant room.

Zhao Tianming sat in the main seat, his face extremely gloomy, like the sky before a storm.

He grabbed the wine jug on the table, took a big gulp, and the wine spilled from the corner of his mouth, dripping down his chin and onto his clothes, but he was completely unaware.

Hou Qing stood to the side, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He hadn't expected Qian Tong to suddenly change his mind, and so completely at that.

That idiot was clearly dragged into the yard, but when he came out he said it was just a friendly spar. What a piece of trash.

"Deacon Zhao, please calm down. I'll go find the Rogue Cultivator later. I refuse to believe he's a coward who can't be provoked," Hou Qing said through gritted teeth, his voice tinged with urgency.

"Rogue Cultivators are not bound by the Evergreen Sect, so even if they are discovered, it won't implicate Deacon Zhao."

"Fool." Zhao Tianming stared coldly at him, his gaze sharp as a knife. "Didn't you realize just how terrifying Wang Mengde's Entwining Silk Technique is?"

Who among ordinary Peak Qi Refinement cultivators could be his match? Are you even his match?

Hou Qing's expression changed slightly, and his lips moved, but he ultimately did not speak.

He was indeed no match for Wang Mengde.

His cultivation level was the same as Wang Mengde's, both at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, but he knew in his heart that he had no chance of winning.

If he went over there, he would most likely end up like Qian Tong earlier, instantly tied up like a dumpling and dragged into the courtyard.

He paused, his gaze turning somber as he looked out the window at the small courtyard shrouded in a pale blue Light Barrier. A hint of resentment lingered in his voice. "It seems we'll have to think of another way."

Zhao Tianming remained silent for a moment, then slammed the wine pot down on the table with a thud. "Don't make any rash moves."

True Lord Myriad Treasures is no pushover. The relationship between the Evergreen Sect and Golden Sun Sect is deteriorating, so we must not offend True Lord Myriad Treasures at this time.

Besides, Wang Mengde isn't an impulsive person; let's wait patiently for our opportunity.

Hou Qing lowered his eyes, remained silent for a few moments, then suddenly took a step closer and transmitted his voice to Zhao Tianming: "Deacon Zhao, there's no way here, but perhaps we can try to find a solution at the Evergreen Sect."

Wang Mengde's three women are all from the Evergreen Sect.

Zhao Tianming's eyes flickered, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

A moment later, he looked at Hou Qing and transmitted his voice, "No matter what method you use, as long as you can lure Wang Mengde out of Jade Wave Island, I will guarantee you a loan of 50,000 Spirit Stones."

A hint of joy flashed in Hou Qing's eyes, and he quickly bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Deacon Zhao."

Zhao Tianming waved his hand, stood up, and walked out of the room without looking back.

In the small courtyard.

Wang Mengde closed the protective Light Barrier, and the eerie blue light once again enveloped the entire courtyard.

Xue Linglong stood under the Spirit Jujube Tree, her cat ears standing straight up, her golden vertical pupils full of vigilance.

Seeing Wang Mengde return, she hurried to greet him, her voice tinged with worry. "Master, have those people left?"

"She's gone." Wang Mengde reached out and ruffled her cat ears. "She won't be coming back for a while."

Xue Linglong breathed a slight sigh of relief; her cat ears drooped, and her tail no longer stood on end.

She tugged at Wang Mengde's sleeve, her voice soft and sweet. "Master, what if those people break in?"

Wang Mengde shook his head. "No."

The rules of Jade Wave Island are not just for show; they dare not barge in.

As long as we don't go out, everything will be fine.

Xue Linglong nodded, but the worry in her eyes did not completely disappear.

She looked at Wang Mengde, her golden vertical pupils filled with seriousness. "Master, I will cultivate diligently."

Once I 'Foundation Establishment, I'll be able to protect you.

Looking at her earnest expression, Wang Mengde felt a surge of warmth in his heart and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait for that day."

Xue Linglong's eyes curved into crescent moons, her cat ears trembled slightly, and her tail swayed gently behind her.

She released Wang Mengde's sleeve, ran to the Soft Chair, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to circulate the Extreme Yin Body-Tempering Technique.

A faint, chilling aura emanated from her body, causing the surrounding temperature to drop slightly.

Wang Mengde turned and walked into the underground chamber.

He sat cross-legged on the prayer mat and took out the valuables left by Qian Tong from his Storage Bag, counting them one by one.

Twenty-five Medium-Grade Spirit Stones, and thirteen hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

There were also dozens of third-tier Talisman, several bottles of pills, a low-grade magic Law Artifact Flying Sword, and scattered materials.

In total, it's worth a full 20,000 Spirit Stones.

Wang Mengde's lips curled slightly upward; he really was a great guy.

They came to his door to deliver Spirit Stones.

He put the valuables into his Storage Bag, took off his shirt, and sat cross-legged on the futon, shirtless.

He took out a bottle of Organ-Protecting Nourishing Decoction from his Storage Bag, tilted his head back, and drank it down.

As the medicine entered my stomach, a warm power spread throughout my body, flowing into my internal organs.

Wang Mengde took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual energy, and a ball of white-purple light shone in his right palm.

The light crackled, tiny arcs of electricity danced between the fingers, radiating a scorching heat.

His gaze sharpened, and he slammed his right hand onto his chest.

Boom..

A burst of white and purple lightning erupted, and muscles began to twitch uncontrollably.

He forced himself to calm down and activated the Thunder Tempering Body Formula.

The power of lightning, guided by the Cultivation Method, no longer ran rampant, but instead flowed slowly along the meridians, surging into the internal organs and cleansing them again and again.

[Thunder Tempering Body Formula +1]

[Physical Body Cultivation +1]

Three days later, at dawn.

Someone gently tapped the Light Barrier.

Wang Mengde stepped out of the meditation room, pushed open the courtyard gate, and saw a female cultivator through the Light Barrier.

She looked to be in her early thirties, with a cultivation level at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. She was extremely beautiful, with a jade belt around her waist, her hair tied up in a high bun, and a cool and noble expression. She wore a dark blue robe.

It was none other than the True Person Azure Fall.

Wang Mengde activated the Light Barrier, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Master, I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip in person. Please come in."

Wang Mengde welcomed True Person Azure Fall to the reception room on the first floor, invited her to sit in the main seat, took out a tea set from his Storage Bag, poured spiritual spring water from the spiritual spring bottle, and used his spiritual power to heat it up, brewing a pot of spiritual tea.

The aroma of tea rose gently, filling the reception room with a fresh and elegant fragrance.

He presented the teacup to True Person Azure Fall with both hands. "Master, please have some tea."

True Person Azure Fall took the teacup, took a small sip, and lingered his gaze on Wang Mengde for a moment, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

Fan.

For three years, Wang Mengde always came to see her wearing a mask and changing his appearance. She was only very familiar with his spiritual energy aura.

Although she had seen the portrait on the Evergreen Sect Wanted Notice, the portrait was not particularly clear.

Today is the first time I've seen Wang Mengde in person.

He appeared to be in his mid-twenties, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a handsome face, and a calm and deep gaze. He exuded an air of restrained confidence.

He was more handsome and had more charisma than in the portrait.

Her eyes brightened slightly.

"Is this your true appearance?" True Person Azure Fall put down his teacup, his voice tinged with curiosity.

Wang Mengde nodded, a gentle smile appearing on his face, "Indeed, I have concealed much from you before, please forgive me, Master."

True Person Azure Fall waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

She reached into her sleeve, took out a jade box, placed it on the table, and opened the lid.

Inside lay three Yin Spirit Fruits and ten Xuanhuang Pills.

The Yin Spirit Fruit is grayish-white all over, with faint silver lines on its surface, and exudes a faint chilling aura.

Xuanhuang Pill is yellowish-brown in color, with six clear Dan patterns on its surface. It has a rich Dan fragrance that invigorates the spirit.

"Three Yin Spirit Fruits, each costing 6,500 Spirit Stones, for a total of 19,500 Spirit Stones."

Ten Xuanhuang Pills, each costing 9,600 Spirit Stones, totaling 96,000 Spirit Stones.

A total of 115,500 Spirit Stones.

True Person Azure Fall closed the jade box and handed it to Wang Mengde: "You can use Spirit Shield Talisman to settle your debts in the future, there's no rush."

Wang Mengde cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Master. I will remember Mengde great kindness."

True Person Azure Fall chuckled and waved his hand, "No need to be so polite. Your Spirit Shield Talisman of excellent quality. I can make a profit by reselling it. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Wang Mengde stood up, opened the protective Light Barrier, and escorted True Person Azure Fall out of the courtyard.

With a flicker, True Person Azure Fall transformed into a streak of white light, piercing through the air and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Wang Mengde watched him leave, closed the Light Barrier, and turned to walk back into his room.

"Linglong," he called out.

Xue Linglong ran out from the inner room, her cat ears standing straight up, her golden vertical pupils full of curiosity. "Master, what's wrong?" Wang Mengde opened the jade box, took out the three Yin Spirit Fruits, and handed them over. "These are Yin Spirit Fruits, which will greatly benefit your Extreme Yin Body-Tempering Technique. Take them and refine them."

Xue Linglong accepted the Yin Spirit Fruit, her eyes sparkling, her cat ears trembling slightly, and her voice soft and sweet. "Thank you, Master."

She held the Yin Spirit Fruit as if it were some precious treasure, carefully putting it into her Storage Bag.

Wang Mengde turned and walked into the underground chamber, sat cross-legged on the futon, and took out a Xuanhuang Pill from his Storage Bag.

The elixir is yellowish-brown with six clear cinnabar patterns on its surface. As the patterns flow, they emit a rich cinnabar fragrance.

The pill was small, only the size of a soybean. When you brought it close, a rich fragrance wafted out, carrying a faint, burning aura that invigorated the spiritual energy throughout your body.

This is the Xuanhuang Pill, a high-grade third-rank spiritual pill that can not only enhance Spirit Power Cultivation but also increase the fiery power within spiritual power.

Wang Mengde put the pill in his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

The moment the pill entered the stomach, an extremely intense and scorching power exploded, like a raging fire burning within the body.

The heat surged wildly through the meridians, causing spiritual energy to boil and the meridians to expand wherever it passed.

Wang Mengde gritted his teeth, formed hand seals, and exerted all his strength to activate the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula.

When the Cultivation Method was pushed to its limit, it was as if an invisible hand had sprung up in the Dantian, grabbing the violent medicinal power and forcibly dragging it into the circulation of qi.

[The Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula +58]

[Spirit Power Cultivation +58]

One cycle, two cycles, three cycles.

Wang Mengde repeatedly circulated his Cultivation Method, refining and absorbing every last bit of the Xuanhuang Pill's medicinal power.

The intense medicinal power circulated through the meridians again and again. With each cycle, it was refined and purified, becoming more refined and solidified, and finally flowed into the Dantian, merging with Dantian spiritual power within.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Mengde opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

He had already refined and absorbed all the medicinal power contained in that Xuanhuang Pill.

He used his divine sense to look inward, and his spiritual power increased by a full 280 points.

But the heat within the spiritual energy also became even more intense, as if a fire was burning in the Dantian.

The intense heat contained in the Xuanhuang Pill was more concentrated than any of the spiritual fruits before. That heat spread from his Dantian to his limbs and bones, making him feel hot all over and restless.

Wang Mengde took a deep breath, suppressed his agitation, and took out Talisman Paper, Talisman Brush, and Talisman Ink from his Storage Bag, and began to draw Spirit Shield Talisman.

He picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and the moment the tip touched the Talisman Paper, all distracting thoughts were thrown to the back of his mind. Only the Talisman Runes flowed before his eyes, and only spiritual energy circulated at the tip of the brush.

One, two, three.

After drawing the Talisman, Wang Mengde left the secret chamber.

In the courtyard, Xue Linglong sat cross-legged on Soft Chair, her hands forming a mudra, her eyes closed, and her cat ears twitching slightly.

She was surrounded by a faint, chilling aura, and the temperature around her was much lower than elsewhere.

Hearing footsteps, she opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in her golden vertical pupils.

She jumped off the Soft Chair and ran to Wang Mengde, her voice sweet and gentle. "Master, I have refined a Yin Spirit Fruit, and the Yin-Nature Power within my body has become much stronger. I can now help you cultivate."

Wang Mengde looked into her bright, sparkling eyes and nodded.

The two entered the room and closed the door.

(Several words omitted here)

[The Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula +48]

[Spirit Power Cultivation +48]

[The Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula +52]

[Spirit Power Cultivation +52]

Two hours later, Wang Mengde used his divine sense to examine his own Spirit Power Cultivation.

[Qi Refinement Cultivation: Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement (25517/25600)]

I'm just 83 points short of reaching the Qi Refinement Limit.

Eighty-three points.

The cultivation time at the Spirit-Gathering Tower was only a little over four days.

Wang Mengde opened his eyes, looked at Xue Linglong, and said with a hint of solemnity in his voice, "Linglong, you must refine the remaining two Yin Spirit Fruits as soon as possible."

After he Foundation Establishment, due to the side effects of the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula, his internal True Essence will definitely be extremely hot, and he will need Xue Linglong's Yin-Nature Power to neutralize it.

Xue Linglong nodded repeatedly, her cat ears twitching, her golden vertical pupils filled with seriousness. "Master, rest assured, Linglong will refine it as soon as possible."

Wang Mengde stood up and straightened his robes. "I'm going to the Spirit-Gathering Tower to cultivate. I estimate it will take me ten days to return."

Be careful while you're home alone.

If someone bombards the Light Barrier, ignore it and do not open the door.

Xue Linglong nodded obediently, her cat ears trembling as she did so. "Don't worry, Master, I know."

Wang Mengde entered the lobby on the first floor of the Spirit-Gathering Tower and walked to the counter.

Behind the counter sat a young cultivator at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement Refining, with delicate features. Upon seeing Wang Mengde, he looked up and gave a professional smile, "Fellow Daoist, what kind of help do you need?"

Wang Mengde asked, "Are there any rooms available?"

The young monk flipped through the booklet on the table and nodded. "There is one, Ninth Floor, Room 906 is empty."

Wang Mengde took out four hundred Medium-Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and placed them on the counter. Then he took out a Green Jade Slip and placed it on the counter as well.

"Give me ten days' worth of credit."

A hint of surprise flashed in the young cultivator's eyes.

But he didn't ask any more questions. He put away the Spirit Stones, picked up the Green Jade Slip on the counter, swiped it on a nearby Spirit Artifact, and handed the Jade Slip back to Wang Mengde.

"Fellow Daoist, the Green Jade Slip has been recharged for ten days."

He then took out a White Jade-Slip Key from under the counter and handed it over with both hands. "This is the Jade-Slip Key to room 906, fellow Daoist, please keep it safe."

Wang Mengde took the Jade Slip and turned to walk towards the spiral staircase.

Reaching the ninth floor, I followed the corridor and found room 906.

He took out the White Jade-Slip Key and infused it with spiritual power.

The light curtain rippled slightly and slowly split open to both sides, revealing the door behind it.

Wang Mengde pushed open the door and went inside, the curtain of light silently closing behind him.

Wang Mengde walked to the wall directly opposite the door and pressed the green Jade Slip into the groove.

With a soft click, the Jade Slip fit perfectly into the groove.
