The weakest one among them was still a more competent cultivator compared to Li Xiuchen. They gathered up and pointed their weapons at Li Xiuchen, ready to slice him into pieces……
……then Li Xiuchen, surprisingly made a clever move, took out his disciple tablet.
“I……I am an inner-door disciple of Tai Hua Mountain!”
The crowd was shocked.
Luo Jianiqng, who knew this would happen, sighed with resignation.
The common cultivators exchanged looks. The Middle-stage Gold Core cultivator chuckled and said, “I can see this is an effrontery guy who wanted to claim our prey and nearly had his way if that Nascent Soul Period cultivator didn’t interfere. My brother, did you hear what this guy said?”
“Well, brother, I heard nothing.”
“Did anyone hear what he said?”
All the other cultivators shook their heads, “no.”
Heard their words, Li Xiuchen was stunned. He continued screaming “I am an inner-door disciple of Tai Hua Mountain” while he was getting a good thrashing. The crowd had no intention to kill him. They only tried their best to beat him up until Li Xiuchen couldn’t bear any more. The coward used a precious white-jade tablet, fleeing away dozens of miles.
The nineteen cultivators didn’t try to catch him. They shrugged, went back to deal with the Golden Phoenix.
However, Luo Jianqing didn’t see that coming. He was surprised that Li Xiuchen used the white-jade tablet this easily. What a waste! The rogue cultivators already knew he was from Tai Hua Mountain so that they definitely wouldn’t kill him. They were irritated and wanted a little bit revenge, so they only flailed him, didn’t show any life-threatening violence. Was Li Xiuchen really such a coward?
There’s no time to waste. Luo Jianqing speeded up to chase Li Xiuchen and caught him up several miles away.
Resting and cursing Luo Jianqing – that mysterious Nascent Soul Period cultivator – with all the tarnation he knew, Li Xuichen was lying in a hidden cave when Luo Jianqing found him.
Luo Jianqing heard his cursing and stayed there for several minutes. At last, he chuckled and flew away.
……and he came back with an enraged fourth-level Demon Beast. Face turned pale, Li Xiuchen was freaked out. He immediately fled away with wounded body. When he escaped the chase of that Demon Beast and finally had a break, another fourth-level Demon Beast rushed right toward him!
“Why the hell I am pestered with such freaking bad luck these days!!!”
Li Xiuchen ran for his life while bollocking as usual.
Li Xiuchen was forced to enter the deep Wan Shou Peak under the threat caused by the Demon Beasts which were guided to him by Luo Jianqing. Within three days, he climbed over three mountains, escaping while taking pills to preserve energy. The Demon Beasts didn’t give up on hunting him down until he reached the inner area of the Wan Shou Peak.
It would be nonsense if we say Li Xiuchen didn’t have any doubt on the Demon Beasts were under someone’s control.
However, this was the first time he came to the Wan Shou Peak. He didn’t have any enemy here except that Nascent Soul Period cultivator who called him “nuisance”, but why a high-level cultivator would make fun of him – a Qi Condensation Period beginner? This is absolutely not normal.
Li Xiuchen couldn’t figure out an answer.
At this time, Luo Jianqing stopped teasing him.
Seeking Immortality didn’t describe Li Xiuchen’s route like depicting a map. It only wrote that Li Xiuchen climbed over a mountain but didn’t point out which one, so Luo Jianqing could only tail Li Xiuchen to look for chance.
This time entering Wan Shou Peak, Li Xiuchen got three treasures that even impressed Luo Jianqing.
The first one was the Beast Core of an Eighth-level Demon Beast.
The second one was a Heaven-level broken sword.
The third one was a Ninth Grade Godlike Pill which already transformed into human!
Among these, Luo Jianqing could still get the former two if he wants, but the third one was an invaluable precious. No one in the word could refine a Ninth Grade Pill. The highest grade that Yu Qingzi could make was only Heaven-level Eighth Grade Pill, and there was no possibility for her to refine even a Huang-level Ninth Grade one.
First Grade Pill was elementary. On the contrary, Ninth Grade Pill was the best.
The level of pill was divided into four: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang. Heaven-level Ninth Grade Godlike Pill only existed in legends. Once a pill like this was refined, the firmament would be rendered bizarre and the pill itself would immediately transform into human and become immortal!
Its existence was only an ancient legend. This time, what Li Xiuche got was a Huang-level Ninth Grade Pill. Although it was the lowest level among the Ninth Grade, the pill still transformed into a suave scholar, sitting at the top of a no-name peak in the deep mountain, playing zither all day long.
The pill had no Spiritual Power, so even Xuan Lingzi didn’t know there was a Ninth Grade Godlike Pill in the Billion Beasts Mountain. No Spiritual Power didn’t mean harmless and weak. The pill used the power of the spiritual creatures and became a formidable existence in the Wan Shou Peak.
When reading Seeking Immortality, Luo Jianqing couldn’t believe how come Li Xiuchen successfully claimed the pill.
There was only one reason. That day, a Ninth-level Demon Beast who coveted the Godlike Pill for more than a hundred years provoked a fight. Though transformed into human, that scholar was, indeed, a pill. Anyone – not only the Demon Cultivators who can absorb others’ Spiritual Power – could eat it and claim its invaluable healing power.
It was a drastic fight.
Li Xiuchen, by coincident, was on his way finding herbs for Mu Ruorong. Suddenly a fierce whirlwind carried him away. He woke up at the edge of the battlefield. He was landed at a perfect spot, wasn’t hurt a single hair while all the other creatures were slaughtered by the two rivals’ merciless attacks.
Now the Demon Beast and Godlike Pill moved their battle field up to the sky, giving Li Xiuchen a chance to loot what’s left on the ground.
After collected all the valuable leftovers, Li Xiuchen rested aside to observe the battle which lasted for a whole day and a whole night.
The Ninth-level Godlike Pill was gradually losing its ground, but the Demon Beast wasn’t getting any benefit. Finally, the Godlike Pill ignited tremendous fire, burnt the Demon Beast badly, and transformed into a pill landed in the vast forest of the Wan Shou Peak.
……and Li Xiuchen could still find it?
Yes, he was that damn lucky.
