Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 376 A friend comes from afar
Zhou Shenshen disliked this person.

He planned to trick this guy.

Killing the other party outright is definitely not an option, but getting a few of his men and some valuable items shouldn't be a problem.

He did not immediately respond to the spy's words, but instead gently waved his hand downwards, signaling his trusted confidant to leave quickly, lest he reveal something that Zhou Canshen did not want him to say.

This trusted confidant had followed Zhou Canshen for a long time and naturally understood that his master was plotting something again. He immediately nodded in acknowledgment and took his leave.

After watching the servant walk away into the distance, Zhou Canshen slowly began to speak:

"These three are all skilled fighters from Daxing. They are probably sent by the Daxing court to find us."

"Oh? Sounds like you're incredibly capable."

"They are indeed impressive, but they certainly aren't among the top talents in Daxing," Zhou Canshen commented vaguely. "They probably have ulterior motives for coming here."

“Now that they’ve arrived at that battlefield, they’ve entered our Great Dust’s territory. Whether they’re dragons or tigers, they’ll all have to be kept in check.”

The Sixth Young Master snorted disdainfully.

Upon hearing the Sixth Young Master's words, Zhou Canshen felt a slight sense of disdain.

This person was spoiled since childhood, and his words always revealed an arrogant attitude of "my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens," completely unaware of the meaning of modesty.

Unfortunately, his skills were ordinary, so such boastful words, when heard by others, not only did not appear impressive, but seemed foolish and laughable.

At this moment, Zhou Canshen simply shook his head slightly, calmly continuing the conversation from the Sixth Young Master:

"Although my wording may have been inappropriate, the people of Daxing have always possessed an inexplicable self-confidence, believing themselves to be unmatched in the world. These guests from Daxing probably think the same way. Not only will they not back down, they will likely come straight for Daxing."

"So reckless?"

"For them, this action was not reckless, but rather a matter of course."

"Hmph!" The Sixth Young Master let out a cold sneer, "Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

Seeing that the other party did not continue the conversation, Zhou Gong was not in a hurry, but simply changed the subject slightly:
"Sixth Young Master, I think you can take this opportunity to acquire some real businesses."

When he said this, his tone already carried a hint of a final syllable.

The tone sounded a bit strange, but the Sixth Young Master seemed not to notice, only frowning in confusion:
"Real industry?"

“Yes, industry.” Zhou Canshen continued, “If you can defeat these Daxing people, I think your family will acknowledge your abilities.”

A hint of confusion flashed in the depths of the Sixth Young Master's eyes, but that confusion was quickly replaced by a flutter of attraction.

"That makes sense." The Sixth Young Master clapped his hands.

"Then I, this young master, will see what they're capable of!"

Seeing the Sixth Young Master gradually stepping into the trap he had set, Zhou Canshen was secretly delighted, but on the surface he hurriedly advised him:

"However, young master, do not underestimate them. These three are a formidable force in the world when they join forces."

"Can you kill a few stars?"

"Yes, it is."

Upon hearing these words, the Sixth Young Master's brows furrowed deeply.

Only one star can be killed.

In other words, the opponent has three top-tier experts.

No wonder he's so arrogant and doesn't take Da Chen seriously.

For cultivators at the Star Point level, there are indeed few in this world who can make them truly fight, let alone three of them banding together. Theoretically speaking, it would take nine cultivators of equal cultivation to kill them.

But this is just a theoretical simulation and has nothing to do with the actual situation.

Putting aside the question of where to find these nine stars, even if we did find them, a large group of people using their powers together would only create chaos in the surrounding celestial phenomena.

Let alone murder, it's questionable whether they can even get close together.

Although he held a high position and wielded great power, he was still struggling to mobilize even a small number of people.

While there is indeed a subordinate in the country who is willing to obey orders, he would certainly not be willing to risk his life for him.

He felt a renewed desire to back down, but for some reason, Zhou Canshen's voice from just now echoed from the depths of his heart again.

It was as if she was slowly bewitching him.

Gradually, a feeling of resentment arose in the heart of the Sixth Young Master.

Should we let this group of people march straight towards the Dust Kingdom?
Where can the dignity of the Dust Kingdom be placed?
If you ask your father and siblings, they will most likely only say things like "we'll wait and see" or "we can't hit them."

The Sixth Young Master really disliked this kind of behavior.

It makes it seem as if the Dust Kingdom is afraid of those usurpers!
They are the true ones!

General Dianxing naturally could not take any risks.

Fortunately, the Sixth Heaven has many trusted confidants, and has unearthed many secret treasures from the ancient divine city.

Using these weapons, although we cannot eliminate all the enemies, we can certainly deliver a crushing blow and force them to retreat!

However, the guards are slightly weaker and may suffer a backlash... We need to find a way to improve their cultivation.

The Sixth Young Master turned to Zhou Canshen:

"Does the Duke of Zhou still possess any miraculous elixir for ascension to immortality?"

"This pill is extremely precious... There are still a few left, but..."

"I possess several treasures left behind by the divine city, which I believe will catch the eye of the Duke of Zhou."

Zhou Canshen immediately smiled:
"Our two families are on good terms, so we can discuss even the most difficult matters together."

……

The muscular man clutched the small, bright red bead, his thick eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown.

He rubbed the beads repeatedly with his fingertips, muttering to himself:

"Is it the magical pill that's been all the rage lately, the one that supposedly makes you instantly become a star if you swallow it?"

“That’s right.” Beside him sat a woman with exceptionally large legs; her eyes shone brightly as she stared intently at the pill.
"This is an extremely rare and precious item! It's a treasure left here by the people of Daxing back then. You couldn't buy even one with mountains of gold and silver outside! Our leader went through so much trouble to get his hands on it."

“It’s a real treasure,” the man scratched the back of his head, “but I still feel uneasy. Skill is something you have to cultivate yourself, little by little, to truly count, right?”

"You're too stubborn! How can one's cultivation level improve so easily?"

The woman gave a cold snort:
“You’re in a better position. You’re a martial artist at heart, so you can figure out the way to climb higher. As for me, my hometown has passed down the crude methods of mountain climbing for generations. My cultivation level is not like those esoteric schools that specialize in seeking profound paths. Hoping to break through to the next level is like looking into the darkest corner of the world.”

"But I still feel something is wrong."

"Give it to me if you don't want it."

"Alright then." The man tucked the pill into his robes. "We'll discuss this later. Since Sixth Young Master wants us to search for someone in the east, the other party must be someone of considerable importance. If we truly cannot defeat them, we'll use this then..."

"Sharpening your spear at the last minute? Your skills are probably not enough to impress anyone."

The woman snorted and tossed the pill into her mouth.

After closing her eyes for a moment, a faint glow rose around her.

The man stared warily at her figure.

Suddenly, a crisp "crack" sound burst out from her body.

When she opened her eyes, several wisps of foul mist were seeping from her seven orifices.

A foul, putrid stench instantly filled the air.

The man quickly waved his sleeve to dispel the foul air in front of him.
They finally got a moment to catch their breath.

"Done?"

"It's done!"

The woman looked at the feet with surprise, which were noticeably larger than normal, with wisps of smoke swirling above them.

"Just like that, without making a sound?" the man asked doubtfully. "I've seen others strike stars; the heavens and earth changed color, and the sun and moon suddenly lost their light. Your commotion is far too quiet."

"What need is there for prestige when one obtains a star through elixirs?"

The woman's face couldn't hide her excitement:

"With the treasures bestowed by the Sixth Young Master, I feel absolutely confident in dealing with those bandits from Daxing!"

The man remained silent.

Can such hastily made dots really be of any use?
……

Lin Jiang and his group moved forward slowly.

King Qi did not leave with them; he had already run away on his own two days after Lin Jiang left the town.

At the same time, King Qi also asked Yu Wenyun to tell Lin Jiang that he should not contact him again unless it involves matters related to the Immortal Mountain.

But Lin Jiang always felt that he might seek out Qi Wang a couple more times.

After traveling for several days, we finally stopped in a clearing forest. Looking at the map, we found that this forest was much safer than the dangerous places around us.

This forest produces a peculiar fruit. When picked, the inside of the fruit makes a sound like a baby crying. However, if it is boiled in water, it tastes exceptionally delicious. You just need to overcome the psychological pressure of the baby crying while cooking.

Lin Jiang picked one and saw that it was perfectly round, and the crying sound came from inside the fruit.

He directly infused the fruit with some vital energy, and the crying miraculously disappeared.

After stewing it for a while, he took one out to taste, and the taste was indeed as described, quite sweet and delicious, and pleasant to eat.

Lin Jiang simply picked a few more and started a fire in the woods to stew them.

Deep in the forest, a man poked half his head out, peering at the travelers in the distance.

"It's them?"

“It should be them.” The man carefully examined the information. “A group of people from Daxing were followed by a carriage, two men and two women. All the details match up.”

After saying this, the man paused for a moment:

"Even if it really wasn't them, they deserved to die because they looked so much like them."

The others nodded in agreement.

There were four of them on this trip. Apart from the man, the other three had all taken the Ascension Pill and possessed considerable cultivation.

Each of them also carried a rather powerful treasure, which they planned to use during the battle.

Their mission this time was to drive this group of people back to Daxing, but after taking the Ascension Pill, these people were obviously much more arrogant than before.

"I think if we gain the upper hand, and with the help of our treasure, we can take care of that group of people directly."

The big-footed woman sneered as she took out a square ruler from her bosom. This ruler was equipped with the technique of "pointing stars and disrupting qi". As long as it was pointed at a person, that person's body would be pulled away by a distance from their dantian.

The flow of Qi to the limbs and bones from a great distance becomes extremely slow; this is a technique belonging to the Ziren lineage.

The remaining two nodded in agreement and each took out their prized possession from their pockets.

Only the man remained troubled, and he whispered instructions to his teammates beside him:
"You must be careful in your actions, these people are definitely not good people."

Unfortunately, his three colleagues who had taken the Ascension Pill experienced a surge in cultivation, completely disregarding him and not even bothering to give him a second glance.

The man could only let out a heavy sigh and turn his gaze toward where Lin Jiang was.

At first glance, something seemed amiss.

The team, which was supposed to consist of two men and two women, is now missing one person out of nowhere!
It was the same coachman who had just driven the car.

Cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead.

The big thing is bad!

He turned around abruptly to warn his colleagues, only to be surprised to see the coachman, who should have been feeding the horses in front of the carriage, standing behind them.

Yu Wenyun wore a rigid smile, his hands cradling a head in each hand. The heads beneath his fingers were twisting and deforming eerily.
"Young master, look, this is truly an unexpected delight! A distinguished guest has come all the way to find us."

"Indeed." Lin Jiang's gentle voice sounded close to the man's ear, and the man felt a hand grip his neck: "As the old saying goes, 'A friend comes from afar.' I wonder what advice you all have for me today?"
