Chapter 201: Chapter 201: All Because of Hong Shixian
Translator: 549690339
Despite taking two elixir pills during their journey these past days, Gong Shuier remained unconscious, with no visible signs of improvement in such a short period of time.
Zhuang Huanling, Gong Shuier’s best friend, stayed vigilantly by the carriage, her thoughts known only to her.
Hearing people discussing Jiang Xiaobai’s matters, Zhuang Huanling immediately used her communication token to relay a message before turning her gaze back towards the carriage.
“Shuier, don’t worry, I’ll catch that brat soon.”
“He will pay back a hundredfold for the pain you’ve suffered.”
The group soon arrived at the mansion prepared for them by the Mad Demon City. Since Jiang Xiaobai had stirred up trouble the previous day, the officials at Mad Demon City were quite busy. After a brief exchange, they left.
In the mansion, Zhuang Huanling kept guarding outside Gong Shuier’s room, her flushed face hidden beneath a green veil, showing a cold facade. Lin Yucheng walked in and shook his head when he saw Zhuang Huanling’s state.
“Linger, don’t worry. I just checked our sacred maiden’s condition, it’s favorable. Both pills are taking effect.”
Lin Yucheng comforted, “You better stay out of trouble with that Hong Shixian, he’s no ordinary kid.”
“Elder Lin rest assured, I, Linger understand.” Zhuang Huanling answered obediently.
Only then did Lin Yucheng nod in acknowledgment.
Just then, their brows knitted and they rushed into the room.
Gong Shuier had already regained consciousness, she looked somewhat bewildered, her body radiating waves of horrifying aura.
Has she completed the Primordial Spirit Carving?
“Shuier, how do you feel now?” Zhuang Huanling quickly caught hold of Gong Shuier’s hand, asking anxiously.
Gong Shuier lifted her head in confusion, “Linger? Why are you here? Have I…
completed the Primordial Spirit Carving?”
Realizing her improved strength, Gong Shuier was utterly shocked. She glanced at the two, seeking answers with her gaze.
After all, she knew her condition best. The gradually strengthening divine soul made it harder for her to carve the primordial spirit, failing for several years which delayed her progress.
Unbelievably successful now, something unknown must have happened.
At that moment, Lin Yucheng told Gong Shuier about everything that happened. After hearing, she was in disbelief.
“That day, I passed out in a fit of rage. Could that fellow have given me such good elixir pills?”
Gong Shuier, shocked, asked, “And my inner fire poison has disappeared?”
“The fire poison disappeared too!”
At these words, the two in the room were both shocked. Lin Yucheng quickly checked her pulse, and found it to be true!
All of a sudden, they were thrown into disorder!
Every cultivator knew how hard it is to cleanse the fire poison. Other than the currently popular Cleansing Pill, there hadn’t been such an incredible effect.
At once, all three realized how valuable the elixir Jiang Xiaobai gave out was!
“This time, we Purple Garden Mountain really owe a great favor to that little friend Hong.”
Lin Yucheng sighed.
Gong Shuier’s face showed a complex expression. Previously, she held nothing but contempt for Jiang Xiaobai. To her, such an arrogant and flighty individual was utterly preposterous.
However, the recent events completely changed her view. Firstly, these two precious elixirs, which he casually gave away, proved his magnanimity! If he was trying to court favor with Purple Garden Mountain, he should have been boastful at this point. However, he didn’t. Instead, he even refused Elder Lin’s offer to help.
All of a sudden, Gong Shuier’s feelings became complicated.
On the side, Zhuang Huanling’s brow furrowed deeply…
Moments later, a rapid surge of aura erupted from a nearby mansion, mighty and determined. It was clear someone had made a breakthrough!
Soon after, Lin Yucheng stepped out and learned that the person was the Sacred Son of the Sword Sea Sect, Li Xuanlin, who had made the breakthrough!
“What a marvelous feeling!”
“Had I not battled with Hong Shixian, I reckon it would have taken me at least one more year to break through to the third level of the Hao Ran Sword Jue!”
At that moment, Li Xuanlin was feeling dizzy with the shock of his newfound strength.
While excited about the breakthrough, he reminisced about the connection it had with his battle against Jiang Xiaobai, overwhelmed by emotions.
Surrounded by people offering their congratulations, Li Xuanlin, however, felt ill at ease.
He strongly felt his breakthrough was greatly related to Jiang Xiaobai. “Everyone, thank you for your congratulations. If it wasn’t for… ‘
“Hong Shixian, the next time I see you, I will have a hearty battle with you!”
Inwardly, Li Xuanlin’s attitude towards Jiang Xiaobai changed significantly. He no longer viewed Jiang as a swaggering piece of trash, but somewhat grateful!
Gong Shuier’s waking up and completed Primordial Spirit Carving startled everyone.
Their attention shifted to the two recent major events, all related to Hong Shixian. This made the sects more curious about him and their opinions shifted significantly.
“Linger, you didn’t…”
In the courtyard, Gong Shuier was hesitant. She had a feeling Zhuang Huanling was up to something again.
“Humph, whatever the case, that brat made you suffer, he should pay the price!”
“That guy’s crazy. Anyone could tell he’s no good. I’m naturally going to teach him a lesson.”
Zhuang Huanling declared, then looked at Gong Shuier with a concerned expression, “Shuier, rest assured, I will only teach him a lesson, nothing more.”
“Oh, you…”
Gong Shuier sighed resignedly and said no more. She knew Zhuang Huanling’s stubbornness—if she set her mind to it, not even ten oxen could drag her back. However…
“Hmm, to think he could be so arrogantly gaudy that day. It’s only fair for him to get punished!”
With that thought, a satisfied smile spread over Gong Shuier’s face. She then began to whisper sweet nothings to Zhuang Huanling.
While everyone was discussing Jiang Xiaobai and looking for him, he and AnRan sneaked into Mad Demon City again.
This time, they came for the quota.
According to AnRan, the man handling the quota was serving the imperial dynasty. As long as they paid, anyone could get the quota.
This was a considerable source of income for the dynasty.
Each quota cost fifty million superior spirit stones, which amounted to five hundred million for ten people!
Moreover, every time the Mad Demon Secret Land opened, hundreds, even thousands, wished to enter through this channel to test their strength, improve their realms, and seek opportunities.
Not long after, the two came to a secluded alley, with a small and shabby shop. From the looks of it, it didn’t do much business.
Upon entering, they saw a dimly lit area and a large cashier’s counter. Behind the counter sat a young man..
