Chapter 109: Zhang's Execution

  "What's wrong, Ah Sheng? You look so worried!" Lin Wan'er said as she saw Shi Sheng return to Gu Xiang Zhai with a somewhat listless expression.

  "There's nothing, and before he could even ask Master if he could detoxify him, he was called away by the Great Elder!" Shi Sheng sighed, now less than a year away from his appointment with Hua Wuxie, his heart was also getting anxious.

  "We'll have a chance to ask again later, but Ah Sheng still needs to make some preparations, let's get the materials needed for Huawu first!" Lin Wan'er thought.

  "Well, I'll go find Lin Paozi then!" Shi Sheng said after finishing his words, and left Gu Xiang Zhai to head to Lin Paozi's residence.

  "Shi Shidi? Ah, you've finally come back, I was worried to death! Where have you been for over a year? Why haven't I seen you return?" Lin Pangzi hastily pulled Shi Sheng into the house, and they both sat down.

  Shi Sheng smiled secretly in his heart, this Lin Pangzi was obviously selling talismans and had tasted the sweetness, thinking of himself? Not as good as saying he thought of the talisman in his own hand, but Shi Sheng did not show anything.

  "I won't waste words with you either, do you know where these materials can be bought in the sect?" Shi Sheng said as he took out a small booklet and wrote down all the things that Hua Wu Xie needed.

  "Huh? There are so many materials up there that I've never heard of, but they all seem to be poisonous. A few of them seem to be spiritual medicines. We should go ask the Alchemy Pavilion about it. No harm in trying. Even if our sect doesn't have them, we can get Zhang Zhi to bring them back for us when he goes out to procure things. As long as we give him some benefits, he'll do it." Lin Paozi said with a smile.

  "Director Zhang?" Shi Sheng asked in doubt.

  "Not bad, Zhang is an executive of our Tianxuan Sect who often goes out to buy materials for the Dan Refining Pavilion and the Equipment Refining Pavilion. Occasionally, when a disciple needs special materials, they will also find Zhang to make the purchase. Let's go take a look at the spiritual medicine in the Dan Refining Pavilion first." Lin Paozi said.

  "No need!" Shi Sheng pulled Lin Paozi, saying: "Since Zhang can buy on our behalf, we don't have to go to Lian Dan Ge. All the materials will be bought by Zhang."

  "That's settled, I'll take you to see Zhang first!" Lin Paozi said, and then led Shi Sheng to the entrance of a three-story building. Two disciples in the Hua Hai realm at the door passed on a message, and the two entered the building.

  In the hall, a middle-aged man with a blue robe and a stout figure sat upright on the main seat, smiling at the two of them. His green bean-like eyes sparkled brightly, and he looked like a shrewd person at first glance.

  "Lin Pangzi? Hehe, what's up?" Zhang Zhi obviously wasn't a stranger to Lin Pangzi, but seemed unfamiliar with Shi Sheng, giving him a casual glance before ignoring him.

  Just as Zhang Zhi was about to turn his head, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and turned back to look at Shi Sheng, exclaiming in surprise: "Yuan He Jing? Which sect does this junior brother belong to? Why have I never seen him before?"

  "In the lower village, under the gate of Xiao Changlao!" Shisheng smiled slightly.

  "It turns out that you are a disciple of Xiao Changlao, haha, I apologize for my disrespect. Although I have never seen you before, your reputation has long been heard within the sect. Not only did you kill an evil cultivator as soon as you entered the stage of sea boundary, but also obtained the honor token."

  He almost got the reward of Cong Zhidan, although it was a bit unexpected, but he didn't expect that Shi Shidi had successfully advanced to Yuanhe Realm. "Please sit down, both of you!" Zhang Zhi shi waved his hand and became more polite, unlike before when he was more casual.

  "Has Shi Xiong advanced to the Yuanhe boundary?" Lin Paozi stared with wide eyes, saying in a somewhat disbelieving tone.

  "It's just a narrow escape; we'll talk about these things when we get back!" Shi Sheng sent Lin Paozi off with a sentence.

  "Zhang, my junior fellow apprentice has already told me clearly. This time we are preparing to purchase some materials, and our sect is probably not fully equipped, so I'm going to trouble you to help us buy everything!" Shi Sheng said as he handed over the list of materials to Zhang.

  Earlier, Shi Sheng's consciousness swept over Zhang Zhi, and found that this person should also be a Yuanhe realm cultivator, but his aura was more majestic than himself, it seemed that he was at least in the middle of the Yuanhe realm.

  Zhang Zhi glanced over the list of materials, furrowing his brow slightly: "Shi Shixiong, these materials you've listed, our sect really can't provide them. Although they're quite ordinary, they seem to be some poisonous substances that Poison Cult excels at using, as well as some spiritual medicines with highly toxic properties."

  "It's just right, so I'll trouble you, Zhang Zhi, to help me buy it." Shi Sheng's face turned serious.

  Zhang Zhi said: "I don't know what use Shifu has for buying these poisonous substances. Is Shifu planning to switch to the path of poisonous cultivation?"

  "That's not it, my junior brother doesn't know any poisonous cultivation methods, these materials are just for treating a poison in me." Shi Sheng had already thought of an excuse after discovering that the antidotes Hua Wuxie needed were all toxic substances.

  "Could it be that Shi Shidi is planning to fight poison with poison?" Zhang Zhi asked in surprise and doubt, Lin Piaozi also couldn't get a word in edgewise for the time being, after all, both of these two were stronger than himself.

  "Not bad, this is also a kind of Dan Fang that I got elsewhere, which can overcome the toxicity in my body!" Shi Sheng didn't mention Hua Wu Xie's matter, otherwise, if a righteous hero suddenly appeared to kill Hua Wu Xie, then his own antidote would probably be hopeless.

  "Heh heh, Shi Shidi has only recently advanced, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to afford the cost of these materials!" Zhang Zhi obviously had doubts about Shi's family background.

  "Director Zhang, how much does it cost?" Shi Sheng asked.

  "Some of the poisonous substances and medicinal materials on this list are not difficult to find, only two of them are rare, roughly estimated, it may cost around 20,000 yuan!" Zhang guessed roughly.

  "Alright, I'll think of a way to gather the Xuanjing Jade and hand it over to Officer Zhang later. I won't disturb you for now!" Shi Sheng said as he left with Lin Pangzi. Normally, Shi Sheng wouldn't easily reveal his Nianyuan Ring either.

  After returning to Gu Xiang Zhai, Shi Sheng found a large bag and put the Xuan Jing Yu in it, a total of 20,000 pieces. Taking advantage of the night, he found Zhang Zhi Shi and handed the bag over to him, which really surprised Zhang Zhi Shi, but he didn't ask many questions.

  On the second day, early in the morning, Xiao Chang Lao sent someone to deliver a new Disciple Token to Shi Sheng. The token was entirely silver and had the three red characters "Tian Xuan Zong" engraved on it, which was a high-level disciple token.

  "With this token, can I get the Yuanhe Boundary's Gongfa? Hehe!" Shisheng handed over the junior disciple token and came to the Scripture Pavilion, where the same black-robed old woman was still on duty.

  Shi's mind force swept across, and suddenly he discovered that the black-robed old woman had a deep and terrifying aura of pressure. Without using his sense of perception, he wouldn't have felt this way. It seemed that ordinary people couldn't detect it, only cultivators with a keen sense of awareness could feel this inexplicable pressure.

  "Junior Shi Sheng has arrived, specially to receive the Yuanhe Boundary Cultivation Method!" Shi Sheng said.

  "Huh? In just over a year, you've already surpassed the three foundational layers of the Immortal Gate? Now that you've reached the Yuanhe Realm, you can be said to have stepped into the path of immortality. With this kind of talent, it's enough to be considered mid-to-upper level." The black-robed old woman praised, rarely revealing a hint of a smile.

  "Thank you, senior, for the compliment. The first three layers of the Yuanhe realm are not difficult, it's just that I'm stupid and wasted so much time!" Shi Sheng sighed inwardly, feeling that he had advanced to the Yuanhe realm faster than Lin Pingzi and the others.

  Even among the young people who came to Tianxuan Sect with him, some may not have reached the stage of transforming the sea, Shi Sheng felt that he was almost a top-notch existence, but unexpectedly, he was only mid-to-upper level.

  But thinking carefully, Shíshēng understood that he was already quick to start, and before entering the door, he had already cultivated to the second layer of Língjīng, the only thing lacking was the Kāi Niàn Dān to open up the Niàn Jiè, advancing to the third layer Huà Hǎi Jìng and Yuán Hé Jìng. It's a pity that a lot of time has been wasted, but in the future, it may not be so easy to make progress again.

  "There are many disciples in the sect, and the three-layer foundation is not difficult. Some people rely on rich resources, while others rely on their innate intelligence. In fact, among the new recruits who entered the sect with you, two have already advanced to the Yuanhe realm, and it's said that several others are also closing up to break through the bottleneck."

  Once you've embarked on the path of immortality, don't look back, but instead look forward and learn from those who excel. Otherwise, if you constantly compare yourself to those who are lagging behind, you will eventually fall into a dead end.

  "All right, go to the second floor to choose your technique. The Yuanhe Boundary Technique is not just one of the five elements, there are many types, so I won't assign them to you disciples, but let you choose the ones that suit your cultivation!" said the black-robed old woman.

  "Choose at will?" Shi Sheng's eyes lit up, and his heart yearned for those mysterious skills and divine powers even more. Otherwise, his combat strength was really too low, and he feared that it would be difficult to get a good ranking in the Qingfeng Conference: "Thank you, senior!" Shi Sheng responded with a sound, then headed towards the second floor. (This chapter is over, the next one will be even more exciting!)
