After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 795 He's gone mad! Huanglong Daoist comes knocking!

"What? Who are you going to mess with this time?"

Huang Can stayed nearby, listening to Chen Yang and Li Chunxiao's phone call, looking eager to try.

"Mind your own business."

"Screw you."

Upon hearing this, Huang Can almost rolled his eyes to the sky. "Isn't there anything you need my help with? I'm already a master of the Spirit Realm, and I feel like I have no place to use my skills."

"You should get your house sorted out first."

Chen Yang shook his head.

It's just a spiritual realm; it may seem powerful to ordinary people, but to experts, it's still just cannon fodder.

Huang Can wiped the bird droppings off his clothes. "If it's not a feng shui issue, I'll contact the renovation company next. By the way, when is Uncle coming back?"

"It's hard to say. If you have nothing else to do, continue making medicine for me. The herbs should arrive tomorrow, so make another batch as soon as possible," Chen Yang said.

Huang Can paused for a moment, "Didn't you say we should wait a little longer?"

"No need to wait."

Chen Yang shook his head. What's the point of waiting?

Liu Henghu called him in the morning, saying that the last batch of Yun Shen Wan had sold out. It cost 100,000 yuan per pill and was snapped up in just a few days after it hit the market.

Liu Henghu had thought that the market competitiveness of "Yun Shen Wan" would decrease significantly after the price increase, but to his surprise, it sold even better than before.

Several major buyers stepped in and bought up the entire batch of goods.

More than 13,000, not a single one was left.

Chen Yang naturally knew where this batch of "Spirit-Nourishing Pills" had gone.

It was either the Gu God Cult or the Divine Fire Sect that made the move.

With the Gu God Cult about to be shut down by the authorities, Chen Yang naturally wanted to make a fortune from them before that happened.

Therefore, it is necessary to produce another batch of "Yun Shen Wan".

Even if he misses the deadline and the medicine doesn't sell, Chen Yang isn't afraid of losing money, since the cost of the medicine isn't high.

"Then I'll go back and tell my sister."

Huang Can nodded, chatted with Chen Yang for a while, and then headed back.

As Huang Can reached the entrance of the courtyard, he stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on the outside, as if he were being stared at by something.

"Wang!"

Black Tiger also jumped up from beside the woodpile and roared outside.

The sparrows on the loquat tree were startled and chirped incessantly.

Huang Can took two steps back, as if he had seen a ghost, and ran straight towards the main room.

Chen Yang frowned slightly.

He looked towards the entrance of the compound and saw two old men walking in side by side, one on the left and one on the right.

One was tall and the other short, both incredibly strong and muscular.

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat; he was all too familiar with those two faces.

Aren't these his two laborers?

He Yuanshan and Jiang Mingqiu.

They're still alive? How did they find their way here?

The two stood on either side of each other, and then a thin figure walked in from outside.

Chen Yang's face twitched slightly, and he secretly groaned in his heart. The person who came was none other than Huanglong Daoist.

"Hey, Senior Huang, what brings you here?"

At this moment, Chen Yang's mental fortitude was still quite good, and he immediately showed an expression of surprise and astonishment.

"The older generation..."

Huang Can also shouted.

Huanglong Daoist's gaze swept over the two of them, finally settling on Chen Yang.

"Are you planning to make me, this old Taoist priest, stand in the courtyard and speak?" Huanglong Taoist said.

"Oh, Senior Huang, please come in."

Chen Yang snapped out of his daze and quickly lowered his posture, leading Huanglong Daoist into the main hall.

As soon as Huanglong Daoist sat down on the sofa, the atmosphere in the entire hall became somewhat tense.

Chen Yang grabbed a handful of tea leaves, brewed him a cup of tea, and looked towards the door.

He Yuanshan and Jiang Mingqiu stood silently at the door, one on the left and one on the right, like two gatekeepers, showing no intention of coming in.

"Ignore them. They've been hit by my Soul-Seizing Technique and are now nothing more than two puppets without their own selves," Huanglong Daoist said calmly.

"Soul-capturing technique?"

Chen Yang was taken aback upon hearing this.

He could sense that the hypnotic eye technique he had applied to the two of them had been broken.

Huanglong Daoist looked at Chen Yang and said, "Your hypnosis techniques are very sophisticated. Would you like to compare them with my soul-capturing techniques?"

Chen Yang snapped out of his daze upon hearing this and quickly shook his head. "Senior Huang, what are you saying? My skills are just trivial; how could I dare to show off my limited abilities in front of Senior Huang?"

He placed the tea in front of Huanglong Daoren, saying, "This is this year's pre-Qingming spring tea. Senior Huang, please have a taste."

Huanglong Daoist glanced at the steaming tea but didn't touch it. "It's not poisonous, is it?"

"what?"

A single, unexpected remark left Chen Yang completely bewildered.

That's a bit too blunt.

Huanglong Daoist picked up his teacup, looked at the orange-yellow tea inside, and said, "I say, you wouldn't have poisoned this old Daoist, would you?"

"How could that be? Senior is joking."

Chen Yang quickly shook his head, "Senior has come from afar, and my humble abode is honored with your presence. I am too busy welcoming you to possibly poison you."

He did indeed have that thought when he poured the tea.

Give this old Taoist priest some zombie poison.

However, the effects of the zombie poison take time to take hold and are not instantly fatal. This old Taoist priest is ridiculously strong, and if he discovers any clues, Chen Yang has no confidence that he can escape.

Therefore, he dared not make any small moves, as the tea was not poisoned.

Huanglong Daoist stared intently into Chen Yang's eyes, seemingly trying to discern something from those sincere gazes.

"That's hard to say. Didn't you poison that fruit for me?" Huanglong Daoist said directly.

"Ok?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Fruit? Senior, you mean that Vermilion Fruit? Is that fruit poisonous?"

Is that fruit really poisonous?
To be honest, Chen Yang was genuinely shocked by what Huanglong Daoist said.

Previously, when he received the fruit, he only guessed that there would be a problem. Before Huanglong Daoist appeared, he was also planning to test it on He Yuanshan and Jiang Mingqiu.

After all, according to what Lai Mile said before his death, the fruit was given by the Gu God Cult Master. This Gu God Cult Master must have known that Lai Mile would not return, yet he still gave him a Vermilion Fruit. Wasn't that a pure waste?

Chen Yang was not blinded by the appearance of the Vermilion Fruit. At the time, he only felt that something was strange, but when the fruit was snatched away by Huanglong Daoist, he could not confirm his guess.

Now that Huanglong Daoist has personally come to his door and told him that the fruit is poisonous, it means that his worries at the time were indeed not unfounded.

Huanglong Daoist was clearly bluffing Chen Yang. He glanced at Chen Yang and said, "You're not going to tell me that the poison in that fruit wasn't your doing, are you?"

An invisible pressure descended upon Chen Yang.

"How can it be."

Chen Yang quickly waved his hand, "Senior, I won't take the blame for this. The fruit was found on Lai Mile. Why would I poison someone for no reason? Besides, where would I have the time to poison someone? I, Chen Yang, have always been upright and honest, and I have always despised the use of poison..."

His words were righteous and eloquent.

Huanglong Daoist frowned slightly. He understood that under those circumstances, Chen Yang would not have had the opportunity or the intention to poison the fruit. However, since the fruit had been handled by Chen Yang, he still came to find Chen Yang just to be on the safe side.

"I'm sorry you don't dare either."

Huanglong Daoist withdrew his oppressive aura, and the atmosphere in the main room immediately relaxed.

"Senior, I wonder what kind of poison was put on that fruit?" Chen Yang asked hurriedly.

"Miracle Water".

Huanglong Daoist picked up the teacup on the table and took a very elegant sip.

"Fairy Water?"

Chen Yang was somewhat surprised, while Huang Can exclaimed softly.

"What, you know about this poison?"

Huanglong Daoist put down his teacup and looked at Huang Can.

"This……"

Huang Can shook his head, then nodded, "I bought my girlfriend a set of cosmetics a while ago, it seems like it had some kind of 'miracle water' or a skincare essence from SK-II..."

cough!
Chen Yang really thought he knew, but then this happened.

Huanglong Daoist glared at him and said calmly, "If you don't understand, don't make any rash reactions."

"Uh, haha."

Huang Can gave a dry laugh, not daring to reply. Huanglong Daoist looked at Chen Yang, "And you? Have you heard of it?"

Chen Yang shook his head. "Never heard of it, but the name sounds quite nice. It doesn't sound like any kind of poison at all."

Chen Yang is absolutely first-rate at playing dumb; how could he not know about the elixir?

The second volume of the Poison Classic contains a detailed process for making the "miracle water," including the antidote.

He was selecting poisons from the Poison Classic to make his medicine. Among the top choices, there was no antidote for Heart-Eating Powder, the Divine Water required too many ingredients, and the Rejuvenating Pill had to be taken orally. After much deliberation, he finally chose the economical and affordable Zombie Poison to refine.

He was intimately familiar with the Poison Classic, and he knew the Fairy Water all too well.

"Ah."

Huanglong Daoist sneered, "The more beautiful something is, the more likely it is to harbor deadly danger. The Divine Water is ranked second on the list of rare poisons; it is colorless and odorless..."

He even went so far as to explain the effects of the "miracle water" to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang's expression was serious, and he even looked frightened when Huanglong Zhenren spoke of how powerful it was.

"Then, senior, are you... alright?"

Chen Yang remembered that he personally witnessed the old Taoist priest putting the Vermilion Fruit down.

In other words, he must have already been poisoned by the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence.

The second-ranked poison would probably be too much for even a Daoist like Huanglong Daoren, who is at the Dao True Realm.

"Humph."

Huanglong Daoist snorted coldly, his expression unchanged, "What can mere immortal water do to me?"

Chen Yang had some doubts. The elixir had no effect on him? Had he neutralized it?
Is this Huanglong Taoist really that powerful?
Seeing his calm and collected demeanor, Chen Yang was a little unsure of what to do.

But little do they know that when you're out in the world, you have to maintain your image yourself, especially someone of Huanglong Daoren's caliber, for whom image is extremely important.

Could he tell these two younger men about his current predicament?
But from Chen Yang's perspective, he was indeed a little unsure.

After all, although the elixir is poisonous, it has an antidote. Who knows if Huanglong Daoist might have the antidote?

Thinking of this, Chen Yang solemnly bowed to Huanglong Daoist.

Upon seeing this, Huanglong Daoist frowned. "What do you mean by this?"

Why would you give yourself such a big bow for no reason?

Chen Yang wore a sincere expression, "Thank you for saving my life, senior. If you hadn't taken that Vermilion Fruit, I would probably be the one poisoned. I don't have your supernatural powers, senior. I might have already been poisoned and my body would have burst from the Vermilion Fruit..."

Li's mother!
Huanglong Daoist's face turned green; he felt even worse than if he had swallowed a fly.

This is murderous and heartbreaking.

You might as well just say I'm stupid for taking a knife for you for no reason.

At that moment, Huanglong Daoist really wanted to crush Chen Yang to death.

But seeing Chen Yang's sincere expression, he couldn't bring himself to lash out.

You'd better be sincere!
Huanglong Daoist gave Chen Yang a deep look, and one could imagine the frustration in his heart.

Chen Yang said, "Senior, I heard Lai Mile say that this Vermilion Fruit was given to him by the Gu God Cult Master so that he could break through to the Dao True Realm. Lai Mile himself certainly wouldn't have poisoned it. The one who would have had the opportunity to poison it was most likely someone from the Gu God Cult..."

He just mentioned it casually, without making it intentional.

Chen Yang's idea was simple: if he could lure Huanglong Daoist to Raojiang and have something happen between him and the Gu God Cult Leader, that would be perfect.

As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. You used Lai Mile to scheme against me, so I have to make some trouble for you too, right?

"Ah."

Huanglong Daoist gave a noncommittal "hmm," looked around, and pointed to Chen Yang's bedroom door, "Is this your room?"

Chen Yang nodded, a bad feeling creeping over him.

"Old Taoist, I'll stay here tonight. You won't mind, will you?"

"It's no problem at all. I'd be delighted if you stayed, senior. I'll prepare a guest room for you right away."

"No need, I'll sleep in this room."

Huanglong Daoist pointed to Chen Yang's room, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Senior, my room is a complete mess..."

"What? Is there some unspeakable secret?"

"No, not at all, as long as you like it, senior."

"Okay, find me some clean clothes. Remember to get up early tomorrow and drive me to the county town."

……

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes lit up slightly, implying that he would leave first thing tomorrow morning.
Their gaze fell on Huanglong Daoist's feet; his shoes were filthy, and the soles were worn out long ago.

He probably walked all the way from Mount Emei; I wonder how long it took him. He's definitely a tough guy.

It's a pity that Mr. Zhou went to the capital; otherwise, what a great opportunity it would have been.

Chen Yang calmed himself down.

Since he's leaving tomorrow, I don't need to think of any tricks or schemes to avoid any complications. If I make a mistake, it could cost me my life.

"The elders, then I'll go back too."

Chen Yang went to find clothes, leaving only Huang Can and Huanglong Daoren in the main room. Huang Can felt immense pressure and quickly prepared to leave.

"stop."

Huanglong Daoist called out to him.

"Elders, is there anything else you need?"

Huang Can froze on the spot, his face looking worse than if he had eaten shit.

Huanglong Daoist circled him once, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. "That fire date I gave you last time..."

"what happened?"

Huang Can paused upon hearing this. Had he figured something out?

Huanglong Daoist's eyebrows furrowed, but quickly relaxed. "It's nothing, you can go."

That day, he forced Huang Can to swallow a fire date. The fire date had been refined by him using a special method, and the date pit had developed a spiritual sense. After entering Huang Can's stomach, it would take root in Huang Can's body.

Although the fruit's energy can help Huang Can grow, he can also force the fruit seed to grow rapidly whenever he wants, making life worse than death.

This is a way of controlling people. He saw Huang Can as a promising talent, which is why he was willing to give him a "fire date".

Most people don't even deserve this kind of treatment from him.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now he could no longer sense the aura of the fire date pit from Huang Can's body.

How did this kid do it?
Did Chen Yang help him?

Impossible. If you plant a jujube pit yourself, unless someone of a higher level of understanding is reached, there is absolutely no way to eradicate it.

Is there a powerful figure behind this kid?
He couldn't help but glance at Huang Can again, but didn't say anything.

Right now, all he wants to do is quickly resolve the issue of the "miracle water" inside him; nothing else matters, and he doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

I'll leave here first thing tomorrow morning. That bastard Zhou Mingyuan is probably still lurking somewhere, so the sooner I leave, the better.

Huang Can felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly withdrew.

Chen Yang found clothes for Huanglong Daoist and took him to the bathroom.

While Huanglong Daoist was taking a bath, Chen Yang went to the bedroom and packed up everything that needed to be packed away.

Since he couldn't store the jar in the wardrobe into the system space and had nowhere to hide it, he simply placed it openly in the main room, alongside several other wine jars in the corner.

The jar doesn't look special at all; unless you handle it, you shouldn't be able to spot anything unusual.

The most dangerous place is often the safest.

……

This Taoist Huanglong probably hadn't taken a bath for a month or two; he took a bath that lasted for more than half an hour.

Chen Yang was a little worried about the water in the pool; he hoped it wouldn't clog the drain.

When Huanglong Daoist arrived, the Three Corpse Divine Tree and the Five Thunder True Man fell completely silent, not daring to communicate with Chen Yang for fear that he would discover something amiss.

They are all just primordial spirits. They can handle ordinary early-stage Dao Realm cultivators, but when they encounter beings of the level of Huanglong Daoren, they can only tuck their tails between their legs and bury their heads in the ground.

Given Huanglong Daoist's strength, eliminating the two of them shouldn't be too difficult.

After Huanglong Daoren finished washing up, he changed into Chen Yang's clothes. Chen Yang had already prepared a guest room for He Yuanshan and Jiang Mingqiu to stay in.

Chen Yang went to sleep in his grandfather's room.

"Senior, you should get some rest."

Chen Yang closed the main room door, pretending to be calm, hoping that the night would pass quickly and that he could send this plague away first thing tomorrow morning.

Huanglong Daoist gave Chen Yang an approving look, "This old Daoist is not one to eat for free, nor can I stay here for nothing..."

As he spoke, he reached into a container and pulled out a bright red fruit.

Fire dates.

"Consider this as payment for tonight's accommodation."

Huanglong Daoist handed the thumb-sized fire date to Chen Yang, saying, "This is called a fire date. It contains abundant fire attribute energy and is a top-grade spiritual fruit used for body tempering. It ranks sixteenth on the spiritual fruit list. Just one of these fruits is enough to raise an ordinary person's physique by fifty levels..."

Chen Yang paused for a moment.

Do you think he meant well? If Chen Yang didn't know what Huang Can had gone through, he would have really believed it.

This is indeed a fire date, but Huanglong Daoist has added something to it. Eating this thing can help you improve your cultivation, but the pit will take root in your stomach and will eventually absorb your body's energy, using you as fertilizer to grow a new fire date tree.
