Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 127: Chapter 109: Peeling Ginseng Skin

The dragon, a mythical creature from ancient legends, may never have been seen, yet everyone knows its image.

People can sketch its strength solely based on imagination.

It seems to be a shared memory deep in the heart.

”You’ve seen a Female Qilin, what’s the big deal about a dragon?”

Glass scoffed in his mind.

This reminded Han Yu of the Young Master Lin he encountered some time ago, didn’t he have a mythical creature within him as well?

”The effect of Dragon Blood is so powerful, how strong must the dragon itself be?”

Han Yu mused to himself, how strong must a ”person” be to fight it, even injure it.

”Instead of thinking about this, why not think about when Ping will wake up, it’s been seven days.”

Glass pouted in dissatisfaction, resting her chin on her hands.

”If it sleeps for a year or more, you better be ready to be chased by that old Pharmacist!”

Han Yu’s expression turned dark; this guy occasionally reminded him of the looming deadline for being hunted.

”Also, your drunken friend has fallen asleep.”

Glass reminded him again.

Han Yu snapped out of it, turned his head, and was dumbstruck.

During the brief time he’d been lost in thought, he didn’t know how much more Huangfu Liang had drunk. Now he was dozing, clutching a Big Gourd, with his head tilted on a dusty old wooden table.

Seriously, dude, being drunk at the Divine Gaze Realm doesn’t make any sense; this isn’t how a cultivator should be.

Just moments ago, Huangfu Liang was joking about how using Cultivation to disperse alcohol is a waste, but he seems truly dedicated.

”Brother Huangfu, wake up and disperse the alcohol smell, would you?”

Han Yu extended a hand, lightly shaking his shoulder with resignation.

Isn’t this just causing trouble!

If you get drunk, am I supposed to take care of you or not?

A big hiccup of alcohol hit Han Yu in the face, while Huangfu Liang adjusted his position and resumed sleeping, his face dusty. Han Yu looked on helplessly.

This is exasperating!

Such a carefree heart, getting this drunk with someone you barely know.

Han Yu thought about Yi Xian’s mentioned base, figuring that since he was going anyway, bringing one more person didn’t matter, so he simply picked the man up.

As Glass described, Huangfu Liang truly was the ultimate drunkard, clutching the Big Gourd tightly even in such a drunken state.

With Han Yu’s current physical strength, he moved quickly even while carrying someone, only facing a slight problem.

Where’s the entrance to North Alley?

The whole city seemed like a dead town, no one seen on the streets, not even anyone to ask for directions.

Since it’s called North Alley, going north can’t be wrong, right?

Han Yu ended up carrying the person to ruins.

Damn it!

Han Yu turned around with a dark face and headed south, but it wasn’t ruins this time, though the location was still wrong!

After roaming back and forth several times, Han Yu stood silently under a crooked tree in the east of the city with the drunkard.

Is it that Yi Xian can’t tell east from west?

Or did the original city builders like playing word games?

Why is there a North Alley in the city’s east?

Opposite the crooked tree was an old mansion, perhaps wealthy once, but now buried in dust by time.

Outside the mansion, a big wooden plaque like a tombstone leaned on one side, with the words ”Self-Improvement Sect” written in flowing script.

Prepared as he’d been when seeking it, Han Yu wasn’t surprised.

As long as it wasn’t a woodshed.

”Han Yu!”

Suddenly, Glass shouted urgently in the Sea of Consciousness.

”Ping is about to wake up.”

Han Yu’s expression shifted; it had been seven days of sleep, what change would occur upon waking this time?

Glass kept urging in his mind.

It shouldn’t... create another Artifact Spirit, right?

”Hurry to a secluded place.”

Seeing Glass’s urgency, Han Yu hurriedly placed Huangfu Liang down in the yard and hurriedly took flight...

Ye Hei looked at the disheartened expression of Ou Mingdong and felt some guilt.

At least favor someone from another family!

You’re putting me in a tough spot!

”I understand your feelings, I won’t hide from you. I was the one who informed the Sect Leader about your wish to go to Tianning Prefecture.”

Ou Mingdong sighed and shook his head, offering a bitter smile, ”I’m aware of Senior Brother Ye’s character, and this matter must have been difficult for you.”

The rivalry between the Unparalleled Tower and the Mo Family wasn’t new; he didn’t blame Ye Hei. With Ye Hei’s status in Unparalleled Tower, he could have refused him outright if he wanted to make things difficult.

Instead, he informed the Sect Leader before letting him know.

Ou Mingdong’s nature was also something Ye Hei appreciated; he possessed the demeanor of a noble family heir, some scholarly grace, humility, and great talent.

Now that he had broken into the Divine Gaze Realm, his future development in the sect would undoubtedly be promising, and it wasn’t worth it for the daughter of the Su Family.

That was Ye Hei’s thought, and that’s what he advised.

Ou Mingdong reflected a fair maiden in his eyes and then shook his head gently.

”Affairs of the heart are always blind, where’s the sense of profit and loss?”

Ye Hei looked at him in surprise, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He admired not Ou Mingdong’s views on emotions.

But Ou Mingdong’s relentless spirit... and his cheek.

If I didn’t know you were always rebuffed, the way you talk makes it seem like you both are mutually in love.

”It’s impossible for you to go to Tianning Prefecture, but why not spend some time in Qingzhou? The so-called opportunities there are like jokes now; go there, and if there are any, there are, and if not, take it as experience.”

”Regarding the Blood Ganoderma, even if you don’t find it, it’s okay. I’ll help you withdraw by then, and if you want to return in a few months, just send a letter, and I’ll bring you back.”

Ye Hei was indeed considerate and comprehensive for his fellow sect members, explaining the high respect Unparalleled Tower’s disciples had for him.

So from beginning to end, Ou Mingdong could hardly harbor any resentment towards him.

”You’re set to leave the day after tomorrow, though even if you depart the sect today, I doubt any of the sect brothers would notice.”

Ye Hei winked, giving him a look.

You’re given two days; feel free to keep trying if you want. Whether you can appreciate it is up to you.

Ou Mingdong, not being foolish, quickly bowed in thanks, ”Thank you, senior brother.”

Ye Hei reminded him with some unease, ”Don’t let any fellow sect members see you outside.”

”I certainly won’t trouble you, senior brother.”

Ou Mingdong cupped his fists.

”No, I’m just afraid when the Great Elder beats you, I won’t be able to hold him back.”

——

”Who’s going to hold me back?”

At this moment, the Great Elder turned his head to speak to the seven behind him.

The idea was his, so naturally, he had to take action, firmly placing his hands beneath the Ginseng King’s neck.

”Let me!”

An old man stepped forward, his hands resting on the Great Elder’s shoulders.

”I’ll go next!”

Voices continued to resound, quickly forming a chorus.

”This time, we aren’t violently destroying the Ginseng King, so everyone can exert their full strength.”

The Great Elder continued to give some instructions uneasily as he turned back.

All eight didn’t dare release too much spiritual power, so they preferred using their bodies.

”Lift!”

With the command given.

Eight different spiritual energies flooded their bodies, their feet sinking into the ground to stabilize their forms with loud thuds.

The constant sounds of creaking came from the Ginseng King’s body, and suddenly the Great Elder’s hands exerted intense force.

”Pull!”

With a burst, the whole island shook violently.

The sound of ripping was heard, and joy spread across the eight’s faces.

Luo Yuqi was utterly terrified at heart, yet his eyes, staring straight ahead, could only watch everything unfold without emotion.

These bastards really skinned me...
