Chapter 144

Even just a glimpse of a silhouette, the Tianmo Shaozhu (Heavenly Demon Young Master) reached a conclusion.

Can this be tolerated?

As the most beautiful demon cultivator in the Cangyun Realm, he had to defend his absolute status in terms of looks: “Show yourself! Let me see what you really look like!”

He strained to peer into the secrets of the heavens, while behind him, the cultivators and mortals in the cage exploded into blood mist one by one. When all the sacrifices in the cage had perished, and the stench of blood filled the air, he finally saw the face of that sword cultivator.

“So… so handsome!!!”

Gazing at that face, which was stunning beyond imagination, the Tianmo Shaozhu felt a surge of blood rushing to his heart and lungs.

“Pfft—!”

He clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of old blood, his aura instantly deflating.

“Ah! Young Master!” Mu Baishuang could no longer indulge in her fantasies. Her worried gaze was glued to the Young Master. When she saw the Tianmo Shaozhu’s eyes pierced by sword energy, a chill ran down her spine, and she shivered involuntarily.

This was the backlash of the secrets.

Even though the Young Master had used a secret technique, he was still affected by the backlash.

This indicated that the one being spied upon had a mastery of the mysteries that surpassed even the Young Master, who was trained in the Tianmo’s secret art! But how could that be? Who was secretly sabotaging the Tianmo Sect’s plans?

She needed to investigate further.

“Young Master, are you alright? You’re bleeding…”

Soaking in the blood pool, the Tianmo Shaozhu (Ji Dong) wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said hoarsely, “I’m fine. It doesn’t matter that those righteous disciples of the demonic path have been discovered. After all, whether they die now or later, it’s all part of my plan.”

“I see, as expected of the Young Master!”

Mu Baishuang looked at Ji Dong with shining eyes, filled with admiration.

No matter the situation, the Young Master always acted with careful consideration, handling matters with composure, unlike her, who easily got flustered.

How embarrassing.

“But you…” Ji Dong’s cold gaze pierced through the mirror and landed on Mu Baishuang. “Didn’t you say that the Qingyun Sect has a Taiyin Dao Body? When will you help me seize that Taiyin Dao Body?”

Hearing this, Mu Baishuang’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly lowered her head, stammering, “Young Master, that Taiyin Dao Body has already been taken by a cultivator. It seems that cultivator has accepted it as a disciple…”

Sensing the increasingly cold gaze from behind the mirror, Mu Baishuang quickly assured him, “But that person will definitely enter the Zhongzhou Secret Realm. I will definitely retrieve that special physique for you, Young Master.”

“Hmph! Remember what you said!”

Ji Dong casually dispersed the mirror, took a moment to adjust his breathing, but the more he tried to calm himself, the more chaotic his aura became. A sword intent rampaged within him, causing blood to seep from the corner of his mouth. It took a great deal of effort to suppress it.

The backlash just now had been extremely fierce.

Just a glance at that cultivator had cost him a month of hard training.

Terrifying!

“Hehe! If I can’t deal with that old monster, can’t I handle the master of that special physique? I’ll see who dares to compete with me for the Taiyin Dao Body!”

Ji Dong began to deduce the secrets once more.

He had already formulated a plan.

If Mu Baishuang could handle that special physique, he would take care of its master.

Two-pronged approach, success guaranteed!

After a while…

“Pfft—!”

The cave echoed with the sound of violent vomiting.

Followed by Ji Dong’s excited howls.

“Ahhh! It’s you!”

“It’s really you!?”

Noon had arrived, and the secrets were being deduced.

Chen Huai'an bathed and changed clothes, gathering his strength.

With a chilling intent to eradicate cancer cells, he logged into the game.

Today, it was either the cancer cells die or he lives.

This was what Chen Xianzun (Immortal Master Chen) declared.

His murderous intent towards the cancer cells was so intense.

That he completely ignored Li Qingran, who was gazing at him eagerly.

Secrets deduced, activate!

“What elixir can suppress the demonized cancer cells in my body?”

【Player, you are in a state of . This deduction is free, but it will increase your status by two levels. Do you wish to continue?】

Chen Huai'an glanced at his staggering 998 levels of and scoffed.

What difference does two more levels make?

A few more lice don’t itch.

Deduce away!

【Deducing secrets…】

The Cangyun Realm was in turmoil, with countless cultivators discussing fervently.

【Deduction complete.】

【The Baicao Detox Pill can completely suppress the demonized cancer cells within the player. (Click for details)】

Chen Huai'an: I click.

Baicao Detox Pill, also known as Baicao Huasheng Pill. Its mechanism of action upgrades all normal cells within the user, rendering toxins ineffective against the upgraded super cells. Therefore, cultivators who take the Baicao Detox Pill will gain a special physique that is immune to all poisons.】

“I see, no wonder.”

Chen Huai'an understood.

The reason he couldn’t defeat the cancer cells was that the level of the demonized cancer cells was higher than that of his own cells.

To defeat the cancer cells, he needed to elevate his realm, which would naturally raise the level of his cells. But the problem was, the cancer cells would evolve and grow stronger alongside his cultivation.

In this case, any supplement would only nourish the cancer cells.

Even bringing out the detox pill would be meaningless.

Because cancer cells were not toxins at all.

Thus, the Baicao Detox Pill became the only antidote.

Rather than crudely eliminating toxins.

It directly enhances the host’s resistance.

“Heh…” Chen Huai'an revealed a bitter smile, his eyes gradually losing their luster: “Going in circles, the one who can save me is still my Qingran baby. Qingran baby still needs to venture into the Zhongzhou Secret Realm.”

“I can’t do it, I can’t do anything, hehehe, hahahaha…”

“Master, your pillowcase is ready, Qingran has made it for you~” A soft, delicate voice echoed from the screen, trembling with tension and anticipation.

Chen Huai'an snapped back to reality, narrowing his eyes, a wicked smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Confidence, belief, faith returned to those once dull eyes.

Oh?

A pillowcase made of special fabric?

Interesting.

With this pillowcase.

As long as he buried himself in it day and night…

What can’t Chen Xianzun achieve?!

Chapter 154: Fear of Insufficient Funds (tijin +1)

“Hmm, not bad, you’re quite efficient. Send it over for me to appraise, hehe!” Chen Huai'an rubbed his fingers together, his brows dancing with excitement.

What Li Qingran heard was:

【Put it on the table, I’ll take it myself!】

Aww~ Master is still so aloof.

Li Qingran shyly placed the neatly folded pillowcase on the table, hesitating for a long time before finally saying, avoiding his gaze, “Master, there’s also a tea bag I forgot to give you before. I found it today, so I’ll put it in with the pillowcase.” With that, she quickly pulled out a tea bag from behind and stuffed it into the pillowcase, then lowered her head, staring at her fidgeting hands on her lap, saying nothing.

The pair of misty eyes beneath her bangs trembled.

The fluttering eyelashes conveyed her inner anxiety and tension.

Would Master discover the secret of the pillowcase and tea bag?

If he did, what would he think of her?

But no matter how she thought about it, it was Master’s own request.

Since it was Master’s own request, he wouldn’t think she was a bad girl, right…?

That’s right, this matter also had to do with Master.

She couldn’t take all the blame.

She hadn’t done it on purpose.

She was just… just fulfilling Master’s request.

Just doing something Master liked.

That’s all!

Chen Huai'an was unaware that a certain girl was engaging in self-hypnosis.

He had already received the pillowcase and tea bag.

And noticed the embroidery on them: the pillowcase had a lotus leaf, and the tea bag had a frog.

Chen Huai'an squinted, realizing this was not simple.

“Hmm… was this intentional? Or accidental?!”

Analyzing carefully, he concluded that with Li Qingran’s shy and bashful personality, she wouldn’t have done this on purpose. His request had already made the girl quite embarrassed; it was likely that she hadn’t noticed the embroidery while making the pillowcase and tea bag.

But did that matter?

He vaguely remembered the lotus leaf on the left and the frog on the right.

Knowing this was enough.
