Chapter Two Hundred and Seventy-Two
After regulating his breath for a while, Long Xiaoshan unleashed a Light of Divine Punishnt, bombarding a Ghost General that Yue Ling had torn to shreds, pulverizing it into dust.
Under the joint assault from the two of them, the remaining Ghost General quickly turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared completely.
Exorcising such ancient ghosts wasn’t an easy task.
Hence, they simply eradicated them to settle the matter, even at the cost of less rit.
After exterminating the two ancient ghosts,
Long Xiaoshan hurriedly started blocking the Yin Qi Cave with stones. After expending a lot of effort, he finally managed to seal the entrance.
Once the Formation’s Eye was blocked, the gloomy energy enveloping the village started to dissipate.
Long Xiaoshan kept busy until morning, destroying the Feng Shui Array before returning to the farm, exhausted like a dog, and imdiately fell asleep. He slept until the afternoon when a ringing phone woke him up.
"Xiaoshan, it’s , Xiaofei!"
"Xiaofei, what’s up? Why are you looking for ?"
"Xiaoshan, I’m getting married and I want you to be my best man. Last ti, it was your help that allowed and my wife to reconcile. I haven’t properly thanked you yet. Are you free?"
"Sure thing, I’ll definitely co to your wedding."
"Great, it’s in three days, at the Yuxiang Restaurant in the county. You must co."
"Definitely, definitely."
Long Xiaoshan hung up the phone and smiled. Hong Xiaofei was getting married; it seed that the Old Man of the Moon Talisman he used last ti was indeed powerful, letting him and his girlfriend finally tie the knot, otherwise she would have been snatched away by soone using Fengshui Technique.
He didn’t have many friends to begin with.
Especially after the incident, the number of true friends dwindled even further, with Hong Xiaofei being one of them.
So no matter what, he had to make ti to go.
He originally planned to bring the gifts he bought for Qin You, his sister, and Teacher Xu to the county, but now it seed there was no hurry; he could bring them along when he went to Hong Xiaofei’s wedding.
He was still worried about the Elder of the Black Scale Sect who had escaped the day before.
Suddenly, he was struck with alarm; if that Elder showed up, could Shen Yuerong be in danger? This would not bode well since the deaths of those two elders last ti were sowhat related to Shen Yuerong. Thinking of the noble and beautiful Sister Yuerong, and the slight romantic tension between them,
Long Xiaoshan beca anxious and quickly took out his phone to call her.
The phone rang for half a minute without answer.
His anxiety growing, Long Xiaoshan thought about hanging up and rushing to the village to check on Shen Yuerong.
Suddenly, a voice answered from the other side: "Hello?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Long Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister Yuerong, good, you’re safe."
"So, you’re just waiting for to have trouble?" Shen Yuerong replied with a hint of irritation, thinking to herself that he hadn’t called for so long, and now he was starting with this. Her grievance deepened.
"No, Sister Yuerong, where are you right now? I’m coming to find you."
"I’m in Capital City, I went back ho. What do you want with ?" Shen Yuerong responded, none too pleased.
"You’re back ho? That’s good, that’s good," said Long Xiaoshan.
Click!
Shen Yuerong hung up the phone on the other side.
Long Xiaoshan was sowhat baffled; why did she hang up?
He hadn’t even finished what he was saying.
Could it be that ti of the month for her?
In Capital City, within a room of a grand mansion, an exceptionally beautiful woman angrily slamd her phone onto the bed, cursing, "Long Xiaoshan, you jerk, jerk, jerk."
Was she so unpleasant?
After that night, so much ti had passed, and he never took the initiative to contact her.
```
Should everything that happened that night just be forgotten?
Is she, a woman, really expected to take the initiative to reach out to him?
If she doesn’t reach out, that’s fine too; this jerk is both a womanizer and detestable—it’s best to forget about him.
But why did he suddenly call, and as soon as he did, he asked if anything had happened to her? When he heard she had returned to Capital City, he repeatedly expressed his approval. Just how much did he dislike her that her departure would make him so happy?
She had already forgotten about him, but hearing that tone of his, she still couldn’t help getting angry, very angry.
Shen Yuerong vented her frustrations, hugged a pillow, buried her face in it, and sobbed.
I just want to touch your hair, it was only a simple test, I want to give you a hug, can I, like before...
The phone rang.
Shen Yuerong didn’t lift her head.
She let the ringtone continue.
The ringtone repeated over and over...
Repeated again and again.
It rang for more than ten minutes.
Finally, Shen Yuerong couldn’t stand it anymore. She picked up the phone and yelled, "Long Xiaoshan, what are you calling for? I’ve already gone ho. You’re happy now, aren’t you? Ecstatic, right? Now you can go have your fun with that group of won."
After her tirade.
A weak voice ca from the other end of the phone, "Sister Yuerong, I’m calling to remind you that the elder from Black Scale Gate showed up again. I fought with him and he got away. I’m worried for your safety, so I wanted to warn you. If you are in Capital City, don’t co back for now; it’s safer there. Um... That’s it, I’m hanging up, goodbye."
Shen Yuerong was stunned.
Hearing that he was about to hang up, she quickly shouted, "Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan, don’t—"
The phone emitted a series of beeping sounds.
Shen Yuerong quickly redialed. The number you dialed is powered off, SORRY...
Long Xiaoshan held his phone and grumbled, "The battery’s dead."
He had called for too long earlier and the phone had run out of battery.
"Whatever, I’ve already notified Sister Yuerong," Long Xiaoshan muttered as he tossed the phone aside and walked over to the pharmacy corner. He fetched a basin and took out a section of Golden Thunder Bamboo from his ring, planting it in the soil.
He wasn’t sure whether it would revive, but it was worth a try. If this golden bamboo could co back to life, it would be a real treasure.
Long Xiaoshan then took out the Jade Purifying Bottle.
He poured a drop of Golden Spirit Liquid onto the bamboo.
A while ago, Long Xiaoshan had discovered that there were two types of rit Spirit Liquid, one golden and the other silver.
The Golden Spirit Liquid only ford from the rit of saving a person’s life, belonging to a higher grade of spirit liquid. Last ti, he used a drop of Golden Spirit Liquid to revive fish in a pond that had been contaminated with pesticide.
So this ti, he used the Golden Spirit Liquid directly.
He wanted to see if it could resurrect the golden bamboo from death.
The Golden Spirit Liquid seeped into the bamboo quickly. Long Xiaoshan watched for a while, but the bamboo showed no signs of revival. He frowned slightly and walked out of the pharmacy corner.
He couldn’t be sure yet; he would wait another day and see.
After leaving, Long Xiaoshan took out a Pill Furnace and began to practice alchemy fiercely.
Continue your journey with empire
Although he had co out on top in a fierce battle with the elder from the Black Scale Sect, that elder was truly formidable. If it hadn’t been for Yue Ling’s assistance and the Fla Precious Saber, he might not have been a match for the elder.
This confrontation made him realize his own lack of strength. Against such a formidable person, he had too few tricks and his cultivation level was too low.
It wasn’t only the Black Scale Gate.
He had also killed Yu Cheng and offended the Iron Palm Gang.
All these were potential dangers. Relying on the Fla Precious Saber was definitely not safe; although powerful, it clearly exceeded his level. After three strikes, it would deplete all his True Qi – defeating a thousand enemies but injuring himself by eight hundred. If he could avoid using it, he would.
He needed to quickly make Lesser Qi Nurturing Pills and break through to the Qi Introduction Fourth Layer.
