Chapter 26: The Genuine Person

  Chui Changsheng noticed Shi's surprise and smiled, "After Hua Xiong took out the Water Dragon Sword, the odds rose to 1:12. Shi Shidi bet 100 blocks of Ling Stone, so it's naturally 1200 blocks of Ling Stone."

  "Ah, I see." Ishikawa took out 200 pieces of Ling Stone from the middle and handed them to Cui Changsheng: "Brother Cui, if it wasn't for your help today, I wouldn't have earned so many Ling Stones either. Take these 200 pieces of Ling Stone and use them as you see fit."

  "It can't be!" Cui Changsheng repeatedly pushed and declined, hastily saying: "Today I still have to thank you, I had a total of 10 pieces of Ling Stone, originally wanted to suppress you and lose, almost losing my principal. But you said that. I suppressed 5 pieces of Ling Stone to block your win, this time, I made a net profit of 50 pieces of Ling Stone. Enough for me to use for a while."

  "This..." Ishikawa was somewhat speechless. With Ishikawa's personality, he would definitely repay kindness, but Choi Chang-seong was like this, so Ishikawa couldn't force it either.

  After some thought, Ishikawa pulled out a small bottle from his bosom and said: "Master Cui, I have two pellets of medicine here that are no longer needed. It would be a waste to keep them on me, so why don't you take them instead?"

  "Dan medicine?" Cui Changsheng's eyes lit up involuntarily, but he still said: "I have never accepted a single needle or thread from anyone in my life, so Junior Brother should take it back."

  "I didn't say I was going to give it to you!" Ishikawa smiled and said, "I just wanted to make a deal with my senior brother. This was given to me by Yun Changlao, but after taking it, the effect wasn't very obvious, so I want to exchange it for some spiritual stones. Since the effect isn't obvious, these two are only worth one spiritual stone."

  "Only one piece of Ling Stone?" Cui Changsheng asked, hardly daring to believe it. Such cheap elixir was hard to come by in the Shuiling Gate, and with his current status, he couldn't afford any decent elixirs anyway. So when he heard such a low price, regardless of whether it had any effect or not, his heart immediately skipped a beat.

  "This elixir may not be effective, but it was given to me by Yun Changlao. I hope you will keep this a secret for me, Brother Cui. Even if Yun Changlao asks you himself, you mustn't say anything. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble." Shi Chuan warned.

  "I'll take care of it, don't worry." Cui Changsheng handed a piece of Ling Stone to Shi Chuan and grasped the small bottle in his hand as if he had obtained a treasure.

  These two elixirs are actually the remaining Epiphany Pills left by Ishikawa. The other day in the teahouse, Ishikawa heard Choi Changsheng say that he had been stuck at the fifth layer of Qi Refining for several years and still hadn't broken through, indicating that he had reached a bottleneck at the fifth layer of Qi Refining.

  "I hope that when I return, Choi Chang-sung will be able to enter the sixth layer of Qi training." After leaving Choi Chang-sung's house, Ishikawa let out a light sigh and took advantage of the night to dash down the mountain.

  The night was dimly lit, and Ishikawa ran rapidly along the road. After half an hour, he had already left the Water Spirit Gate several hundred miles behind him.

  Ishikawa wasn't without thoughts of leaving Suireimon at this opportunity, but with Ishikawa's current strength at Practitioner Level 6, there didn't seem to be anywhere good to go.

  After becoming an inner disciple, Ishikawa also heard some news about Mizu no Mon and surrounding schools.

  In those years, the Wulingmen split into five factions. Except for the Jīnlíngmén which occupied the old site of the Wulingmen, the other four factions sought out other spiritual veins to branch out and flourish.

  The Shuiling Gate and Huoling Gate are close to each other, and a sixth-level cultivator in the Qi Refining stage can reach them by sprinting for over a month. As for the other three gates, they are much farther away.

  Although Wumen is relatively far away, there are still many connections, such as the Wulingmen Grand Comparison and so on.

  To get back on topic, as long as Ishikawa conceals his cultivation, he should be relatively safe for the time being.

  Ishikawa is not coming out for the first time and is quite familiar with the route, walking extremely fast.

  As he walked, Ishikawa saw four or five people standing still in front of him, blocking the entire road.

  This is exactly where Ishikawa was ambushed by those three men and one woman.

  "Could it be that this has happened to me again?" Ishikawa was momentarily speechless, he really couldn't understand how someone could have intercepted him here when he had secretly snuck out of the school.

  "Shi Shidi, don't hesitate anymore." A male cultivator in front spoke up.

  "Fellow student?" A big question mark appeared in Ishikawa's mind, and since the distance was not far, he simply walked a few more steps forward.

  There were five people in total, two of whom were at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, and three at the fourth layer. All of them wore the inner sect attire of the Water Spirit Sect.

  Take a closer look and Ishikawa is even more surprised, one of them is someone he has seen before.

  That day, I went to the tea room to listen to the Tao, and Ishikawa remembered that someone had a special gaze at himself, so he paid attention to it. Unexpectedly, they met again here.

  If it were only these five people, Ishikawa had somewhat put his mind at ease. The difference between the sixth layer of Qi training and the fifth layer was originally very large, and there were not a few treasures on Ishikawa's body, so it would be easy to knock down these five people.

  But before that, Ishikawa wanted to figure out why they were intercepting him and how they knew he was descending the mountain now.

  "Big Brother Wu, it's so late, what are you doing here?"

  "What's going on?" The monk looked at the four people around him and burst out laughing: "Of course, we're waiting for the famous Ishikawa Ishi, your junior brother. You've been in the spotlight lately, so we came to bask in your glory."

  "Shen Shixiong, don't waste your breath on him, just take care of him!" a black-faced monk said viciously.

  Shen surname repairman waved his hand and said, "Killing a Qi-refining stage first-layer cultivator is as simple as pinching an ant to death. However, before that, I hope Stone Shidi can answer my questions, so as to avoid suffering more physical pain."

  Shen surname scholar, with an expression as if he had eaten a bitter gourd.

  Ishikawa said faintly: "I have no grudges against the five senior brothers, and I haven't even spoken a word to them. If the senior brothers can give me a satisfactory answer, I am willing to answer what you want to know."

  "Shen Shixiong, I'm afraid he wants to delay us. Let's hurry up and take action, let's go back early, lest we be discovered." The black-faced monk said with a flying sword in his hand.

  "It's still three or four hours before dawn, no need to rush. Since Shí shīdì said so, I'll have a chat with him. A few days ago, when Shí shīdì was still an outer sect disciple, he secretly went to Xiūzhēn small town by himself, wasn't it?" The Shen surname cultivator said with a smile.

  Ishikawa's face changed greatly, how did this person know about this matter? If Yunzhang knew about this, the consequences would be unthinkable. Ishikawa said in a cold voice: "How did you know about this?"

  "I also know that the Wooden Spirit Gate's Lu Zhi, the Fire Spirit Gate's Feng Huo brothers, and the Earth Spirit Gate's Qiu Yun ambushed you together. What I find strange is that with your mere Qi Refining stage one cultivation, how did you manage to escape from their hands? But after watching your duel with that waste Hua Xiong, it seems like I've understood something."

  Shen surname repair from the bosom take out a golden yellow talisman said: "You must be in the mortal world to cultivate not less martial arts secret books, useful for Hua Xiong, but useless for us. This is my expensive purchase of Vajra Talisman, after use within an hour, knives and guns can't enter, even if you use a mid-grade flying sword, it's hard to hurt me. So I advise Shi Shidi, you'd better save your energy, I ask you, you just answer what, otherwise I'll make you unable to live or die."

  "I still have one thing that I don't understand. If Brother Shen can enlighten me, I will give Brother Shen an answer." Ishikawa said coldly.
