Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 409 Riot
I don't share my innermost thoughts with others.

When Jiang Shu learned that the plants inside were all jade ginseng, his eyes widened immediately.

Spiritual plants are not like elixirs, but I have eaten Jade Ginseng and Ginger, which are top-grade nutritional supplements and are rarely seen.

"We can't refine pills for a while, so let's give them these jade ginseng to gnaw on later."

As Pei Xia said this, she went up and dug one out. The ginseng was plump and large, even bigger than a white radish.

"Want to try some?" He handed it to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu quickly shook his head: "No, no, it smells too strong."

Actually, the stench won't be absorbed into the spiritual plants; it's just that if you stay in this environment for a long time, you'll inevitably pick up some of the smell.

Pei Xia then handed it to Feng Yao beside her: "Take this and let it air dry. Then take it to Old Zhao and have him stew it for everyone tonight."

Old Zhao is a cook, and now that the kitchen has been repaired, he finally has a chance to put his skills to good use.

Jiang Shu glanced to the side.

When he came down the mountain, the palace had been divided into many rooms, and he slept in one of them.

Upon closer inspection, the partitions had all been dismantled, and large water vats were placed on the side, emanating an even stronger stench.

"You can't sleep here either, can you?"

"Yes, they're all sleeping over at Wangjiang Tower now. We can either let you choose a room in the row of houses, or you can find a room upstairs in Wangjiang Tower. You'll sleep there on Sundays too."

When Jiang Shu came down the mountain, Wangjiang Tower had not been completely cleared out. He recalled that the room was full of bits of flesh and blood, and he quickly shook his head.

"Never mind, I'll sleep in the row house."

“Okay, there are plenty of rooms available now, you can have your own room. I’m sleeping in a row of rooms now, it’s great, and someone even heats the kang (heated brick bed) at night.”

There are still many changes on the mountain, such as the fields behind the mountain and the newly built school, but there is no rush for these. Jiang Shu will recognize them all by himself as he wanders around.

Pei Xia brought him to the palace first mainly so that he could help her keep an eye on things.

As more and more people came to the mountain, Pei Xia gradually found herself overwhelmed with work.

Cao Hua and Guo Gai were only acquainted for a short time. It was fine to entrust them with external affairs of the sect, but when it came to anything secret, such as the Glazed Immortal Elixir, he dared not entrust them with such matters.

Feng Yao is naturally extremely loyal, but she is not proactive enough at present. She is more than capable as a bodyguard, but not quite good enough as a manager.

Jiang Shu's return to the mountain greatly reduced Pei Xia's burden.

The master and disciple left the palace and walked to the door. Jiang Shu paused, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There's something. Although Hu Hou didn't give any specific instructions, I've heard some rumors."

"What's going on?"

"The people from Beishi City should be arriving soon, judging by the time."

Yes, if we hurry, it's almost done.

Thinking about this gave Pei Xia another headache.

"okay, I get it."

After arranging for Jiang Shu to rest, Pei Xia stood at the entrance of the palace, sniffing the lingering stench, and scratched his head.

It's certain that at least one person at the Heavenly Consciousness Realm is accompanying them from Beishi City.

Although Tian Shi was greatly weakened in Qinzhou, its strong spiritual foundation meant that even with much of its combat power lost, it was still far beyond what Pei Xia or Feng Yao in the Vajra Realm could handle.

"What if they come looking for trouble..."

Thinking of Li Qing's righteous and righteous guarantee at the time, Pei Xia couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

I wish the Jade Palace could still be used.

He sighed. There was no point in talking about it now. He might as well take stock of Yuqiong and see how many trump cards he still had to use against the enemy.

The Jade Palace was cluttered with things. Pei Xia rummaged through it for a while, pondering and muttering to herself. Before she could make a decision, she suddenly saw Cao Hua running towards her in the distance. The palace was not close to the River-Viewing Tower, especially since Pei Xia was currently sleeping in a row house. For minor matters, she could report them after she arrived.

Cao Hua rushed over specifically, so he must have been in a hurry.

Pei Xia's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the people from Beishi City had come knocking on her door?

He quickly took a few steps over to greet her: "What's wrong?"

Thanks to the Nourishing Spirit Pill, Cao Hua had recently broken through to the Upper Grade Copper Skin level. Even with his current physique, he stopped and gasped for breath, showing how anxious he was.

"Lord of the Mountain, that...that..." He took a breath, "That woman in the dungeon suddenly went mad and broke free of her shackles. We can't control her, and Guo Gai has already been injured!"

Pei Xia didn't even react at first: "In the dungeon? Which one... Oh my god!"

The original dungeon in Jiangcheng Mountain was well preserved, but since the new buildings were constructed, that place was no longer needed, to the point that Pei Xia almost forgot about it.

Yes, there is a person locked up inside.

Su Yan, the former master of Jiangcheng Mountain and sister-in-law of Donghou Li Xu.

The woman was under Qu Ying's spell. After Qu Ying left, she remained in a daze and wouldn't resist anything he did to her.

At first, Pei Xia was wary of her, but as time went on, she gradually let her guard down.

When Ma Shilin was in charge, she had a dark side and liked to mess with her old boss, so Su Yan was under her control.

Later, Ma Shilin was driven down the mountain by Pei Xia, so he simply locked Su Yan in the dungeon and sent a disciple to deliver food every two or three days.

After a few months of peace, why did this suddenly happen?
Without saying a word, Pei Xia led Feng Yao to the dungeon.

Just kidding, Su Yan is a top-level cultivator in the Vajra Realm. If we let her go crazy on the mountain, the losses will be enormous.

The dungeon in Jiangcheng Mountain was built on the north side of the mountain, which was slightly closer to the Wangjiang Tower than the palace.

When Pei Xia arrived with Feng Yao and Cao Hua, the dungeon doors had already been broken down.

Amidst the flying debris, only two figures could be seen engaged in a fierce battle.

Beside a large rock not far away, Guo Gai sat on the ground, covered in blood and panting. Pei Xia gave him a Huangqi Pill and asked, "How are you?"

Guo Gai shook his head: "I couldn't stop him, but luckily Brother Jiang arrived in time."

"I'm asking how you are?"

"Me?" Guo Gai was a little surprised, then quickly shook his head, "I'm fine, just a little... cough, a minor injury."

Pei Xia beckoned Cao Hua over and asked him to look after Guo Gai first, then looked up at the outside of the dungeon.

Amidst the flying sand and stones, the one fighting Su Yan was none other than Jiang Shu, who had just returned to the mountain.

After leaving his palace, he naturally returned to Wangjiang Tower. Upon hearing of the incident in the dungeon, he rushed there first.

In terms of cultivation level, he was only at the middle grade of Iron Bone, while Su Yan was at the lower grade of Vajra Realm.

Fortunately, judging from Su Yan's chaotic moves, his mind had not fully recovered, and he had not been eating enough during this period, so he was in very poor condition and was temporarily held back by Jiang Shu.

This kid hasn't wasted these two months since he came down the mountain. Besides the ordinary martial arts that Pei Xia taught him at the beginning, he has also become more and more proficient in the unique skills of Yunhu Mountain.

Although he couldn't display many of his mysteries due to the lack of spiritual power, his advances and retreats were well-organized and disciplined. Apart from a few unavoidable head-on clashes, he suffered almost no injuries.

Pei Xia breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Feng Yao beside her: "Go ahead."

Feng Yao nodded and took a step forward.

Then she remembered that there was a shortage of fabric on the mountain recently, and it would not be easy to make a set of clothes. She paused, took off her upper garment, and revealed her close-fitting short jacket.

Her beautiful back was outstretched, and beneath her snow-white skin, a bright red spine was faintly visible.
