Chapter 22: Huang San's Land Deed Oppresses the Poor

  If it were someone else, Lu Ya would have slapped them to death with a palm, but facing Huang Shi Ren's face full of cheap smiles, Lu Ya found himself completely helpless.

  "Master, I'm now deeply in debt and have enemies everywhere. The world is treacherous, and if I venture out, I'll be done for as soon as I encounter someone with a grudge. You want to teach me your skills, but it'll take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to achieve anything. I'm afraid I won't even get to the door before I turn to dust." Huang Shiren shook his head and said.

  "You wretched disciple, many people have begged me for this technique, but I was unwilling to teach it to them!"

  "Alright, alright, Master don't be angry, I'll learn. I'm not afraid of hard work." Huang Shiren said with a smile.

  Lu pressed his head, stretched out his fingers, and lightly touched Huang Shiren's Tianling. Huang Shiren suddenly felt a vast amount of information rushing into his mind, which was the practice mantra and various annotations of the Five Thunder Law, indeed extremely complex with many strange doors.

  "Master, why do I have to find the five great thunderclaps first!?" Huang Shiren studied it carefully again and became unhappy.

  "The Five Thunder Laws, the Five Thunder Laws, of course, must first have the Five Thunders. Initially, one must practice and refine the Five Thunders, in evil laws, use the Five Thunders to bring about thunderbolts. When it reaches this stage of the Orthodox Law, one can merge the Five Thunders into the five internal organs, becoming a part of the Original Spirit. At the final stage of merging with the Tao, the Five Thunders unite and transform into the Pre-Heavenly One Qi, separating into the Three Purities, that is when one has attained the Tao! Do you understand? Disciple, collecting the Five Thunders has its own principles, it's best to first collect the Pre-Heavenly Thunder. The higher the level of heavenly thunder collected, the more beneficial it will be for oneself."

  "Master, there are only ten people in Zheng Lei's gang. You want me to collect five of them? Do I have such good connections?"

  "It's up to your luck then, isn't it?" Lu Ya said with a dry smile.

  You're ruthless!

  Huang Shiren obtained the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, but still felt dissatisfied and laughed: "Master, I'll ask you, do you have a skill that no matter how others hit you, they can't kill you? If so, teach it to your good disciples, ten or eight of them."

  "Impossible! If such a powerful technique existed in this world, I would have learned it long ago. It's not like you're the only one who can master it!"

  "That's almost it!"

  Lu Yao was driven mad by this guy, and after some thought, he said: "I happen to have a technique, but it's also something I accidentally discovered when I was refining the elixir with my master. To put it simply, it's about tempering one's physical body, and my master named it the Nine Revolutions Mystical Method."

  "Isn't that just like refining dan medicine in a furnace, turning it nine times? That Huang Shiren is quite clever."

  "Not bad. This is a self-mutilating technique, but you have the Tai Xiang Zheng Lei, can't you use this to replace the furnace fire? The more ruthless the self-mutilation, the more it will turn into gold, and that's not a congenital treasure, ordinary people won't be able to kill you."

  "Oh! Good master, I want to learn!"

  Lu Yao again gave this nine-turn Xuan method to Huang Shi-ren, and Huang Shi-ren got the benefit and still sold it cleverly.

  "Master, you're really mischievous. First, you teach me a method that takes 100,000 to 200,000 years to achieve success, and then you teach me self-mutilation, which is too cruel! Isn't there a better method?" Huang Shiren laughed.

  "Damn it, I've already taught you two moves, what more do you want?" Lu Ya was truly speechless.

  Huang Shiren rubbed his cheek, and a pair of bad eyes glanced at Lu Ya's body, saying: "Master, I heard that you have something in your hands called Ding Tou Qi Jian Shu, don't know if it can be passed on to your good apprentice!"

  In the Legend of Deification, Huang Shiren's deepest impression of Lu Ya is two things. One is the beheading immortal flying knife, which no matter who it encounters, calls out "Please turn around, treasure" and the opponent's head flies off immediately. The second is the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book.

  This Ding Tou Qi Jian Shu is a book of spells, recording the "Ding Tou Qi Jian" technique. To use it, set up an altar in a camp, draw a straw man with the enemy's name on its body, place a lamp on its head and another under its feet, perform the steps of the Big Dipper, burn incense and seal the spell, then bow three times a day for 21 days. By noon on the 21st day, you can knock down the enemy's three souls and seven spirits, and then shoot the straw man with an arrow, making it impossible for the enemy to survive. Even Zhao Gongming, such a powerful person, died under this spell.

  This seven-arrow book is actually the number one sinister technique in the world. In Huang Shi-ren's opinion, it's a great method with immense power and dark tactics, and most importantly, it doesn't require direct confrontation with the opponent, making it highly safe. The only drawback is that it takes too long to execute.

  "You're dead!" Lu Ya's face was gloomy.

  "Master, can't you bear to part with me?! Master! I'm your only disciple, don't be sentimental!"

  "Disciple, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but this Nail Head Seven Arrow Book is too vicious and greatly damages one's virtues. Even I myself only use it at critical moments. This is for your own good!"

  "Master, if you treat me well, then teach me. I want all the skills." Huang Shiren was insistent and wouldn't give up.

  "Enough, you scoundrel!" Lu Ya couldn't get the better of Huang Shiren, so he took out a flower basket from his sleeve and pulled out a jade book, which was obviously the "Seven Arrows of the Nail Head". Then he gave Huang Shiren a small mulberry bow and three small peach branch arrows.

  "There is a magic spell on top, disciples, don't use it unless absolutely necessary, remember, remember."

  "Good Master, the disciple understands!" Huang Shiren took over the Ding Tou Qi Jian Shu and the bow and arrow, and looked at Lu Ya's flower basket, saying: "Master, since you've given me the Ding Tou Qi Jian Shu, this flower basket is probably useless to you too. Give it to your disciple."

  "Don't even think about it!"

  "Hey, Master, why does a man like you need a flower basket? Is it a token of affection from your wife?"

  "Don't ask!" Lu Yi's face turned bright red as he hastily hid the flower basket.

  Huang Shiren sneered and said viciously: "Yun Zhongzi, you son of a bitch, just wait, I'll use you as a test subject later. In three to seven days, I'll shoot you dead."

  "You little scamp! Didn't I tell you to be careful with it?!"

  "Master, if I don't get rid of Yun Zhongzi now, he will definitely get rid of me in the future. It's better to take the initiative and strike first!"

  "Disciple, the Seven Arrow Scripture can only be used to defeat those with lower or similar cultivation levels as oneself, but not those with higher cultivation. If you want to defeat Yun Zhongzi without having the Golden Immortal's cultivation level, it is impossible." said Lu Ya.

  "Ah?! Who's dead?!" Huang Shiren was stunned!

  "Of course! Otherwise, with this thing in Master's hands, wouldn't he be invincible?!" Lu Ya looked at Huang Shi-ren's appearance and felt very pleased.

  My goodness! Huang Shiren is so infuriating, the "Seven Killings Book" isn't as awesome as I imagined. Whatever, it seems like I can only try my best to improve myself.

  Having thought of this, I felt relieved and was about to tease Lu Ya again when he had already seen through me.

  "Disciple, don't bother with the techniques anymore. Mastering one of these methods will bring you immense benefits. Don't try to swallow too much and choke on it, remember!" Lu Ya said seriously.

  It's okay, we'll have another chance next time.

  "Master, I didn't say I wanted a method. Look at your disciple, poor and destitute, with no magic treasures on hand. You have some innate spiritual treasures or innate ultimate treasures, give me a sack of them?"

  "Die! Don't you have the Wind and Thunder Mace in your hand? Those few magical artifacts, I think they are also very vicious." Lu Yi was so angry that he fainted!

  "Master, you can't be so petty! The Wind and Thunder Staff was something I snatched from Yun Zhongzi, and the rest were just things I practiced randomly. Which one of them is actually impressive?" Huang Shiren's face twisted in pain: "Can you bear to see your disciple being bullied? Can you bear to see your old man's reputation being ruined by me?"

  My god, I really made a mistake just now, taking on such an incompetent apprentice!

  Lu Yao took out the flying sword from his bag, re-refined it and handed it to Huang Shi Ren: "Shi Ren, this flying sword is also a postnatal treasure. It has a divine light on it, called the One Light Absolute Origin Sword. It specializes in beheading people's primordial spirits and its power is unmatched. I'm giving it to you."

  Huang Shiren took over the flying sword and handed it over to Jin Dashi.

  "Master, you're the greatest swordsman in the world, and you give me a mere mortal treasure? You've got some nerve!?" Huang Shiren spat on the ground, plopped his butt down, and whined: "I don't care! At least give me a pre-heavenly one!"

  Lu Yao was so angry that he saw his rascal appearance, knowing that this time he had to shed blood, thought for a moment, stomped his feet, and took out a small gourd with a fiery red body from his pocket.

  "Wow!" Looking at this calabaza, Huang Shiren's eyes lit up!

  This gourd is obviously a congenital treasure, and Huang Shiren has never seen anything like it since he came to this world.

  "This gourd is one of the seven gourds that grew on a heavenly vine, named 99 Red Cloud Scatter Gourd. When the gourd is turned upside down, countless red threads fly out, causing people to become dizzy and unable to move. Moreover, its speed is extremely fast, and if you hide inside, you'll disappear in an instant. Alright, I'll give it to you, and in the future, when you encounter a ruthless person, it can save your life." It's clear that Lu Ya was reluctant to part with it.

  "Thank you, Master!" Huang Shiren snatched the gourd and looked at it with increasing delight. Suddenly his eyes lit up: "The 99 Red Clouds Dispersing Gourd, Master, could this gourd be the one that belongs to Old Ancestor Hongyun?!"

  "Good heavens! You young fellow know quite a lot of things, don't you?!" Lu Ya was also very astonished.

  Mentioning Hongyun Old Ancestor, there are truly too many stories. This Hongyun Old Ancestor was the first red cloud to attain enlightenment after the opening of heaven and earth. He once listened to Hongjun's lectures at Zixiao Palace with the Twelve Great Ancestors, Donghuang Taiyi, Emperor Jun, and Zhunyuanzi, among others. His nature is kind and benevolent, delighted in helping others, and his relationship with Zhunyuanzi was the closest. He can be called the number one person under heaven, but at the same time, he is also the greatest jinx under heaven.

  At first, the Zixiao Palace's Hongyuan Daozu divided the sacred position, and gave the last Hongmeng Purple Qi to Red Cloud. This Hongmeng Purple Qi is a rare treasure, when Hongyuan Daozu divided it, he left behind his thoughts. As the saying goes, "The Great Way has fifty chapters, Heaven has forty-nine, leaving one to escape." Red Cloud obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, which was exactly this escaping chapter, and fell into Hongyuan Laozu's calculations. After being pursued and killed, it turned to ashes, and the legend says that the extremely precious Hongmeng Purple Qi also disappeared without a trace.

  These ninety-nine red cloud gourds are actually the treasure of Hongyun Old Ancestor, so Huang Shiren knows.

  "Master, I like to listen to people telling stories when I'm free." Huang Shiren chuckled and easily glossed over it, put away the gourd, and felt extremely pleased in his heart.

  Congenital-level treasure! I finally have a congenital-level treasure!

  Huang Shiren wanted to speak again, but Lu Ya was so angry that he almost tore his mouth off: "Disciple, don't say anything more! Master is really gone! And Master wasn't wealthy either, right?"

  "Master, I didn't ask you for a treasure, but since you have some top-grade elixirs on hand, how about giving me a basketful?"

  "No!"

  "Cheater, you just took three or five Wu Xuan Dan to exchange for my wine! You drank the wine, now give me back the dan!"

  "This scoundrel! I don't even like alchemy. This crappy elixir was extorted from someone."

  "You may not think much of it, but I, as an apprentice, cherish it!"

  "Alright, here you go!"

  Huang Shi Ren took five big gallbladders and smiled, saying: "Master, don't hide it anymore, you still have a bag of them!"

  "Disciple, although it's said that eating one of these Five-Turn Golden Elixirs can bring you to the cultivation level of Taiyi True Immortal, eating more will only recover your immortal energy a bit, and won't have much use."

  "Master, you don't know this, but the disciple doesn't need so much. I'm just too poor! And besides, under my discipleship, there's a group of brothers who are all waiting to be fed. They're also your relatives, Master. You can't be stingy, can you?"

  Lu Yao was about to faint, so he simply threw the remaining bag of dan to Huang Shi Ren, patted his butt and said: "Disciple, it's getting late, I should also leave."

  "Master, let me follow you and take care of you!"

  "Goodbye! Goodbye!" Lu Ya scared the chrysanthemum tight! Grandma, this guy was so skilled that he had cleaned himself up in no time, and all that was left on him was a gourd. If he followed us, I'm afraid even the gourd wouldn't be spared. His skill of swindling is truly the best in the world. Let's go, hurry up and leave!

  "Shi Ren, the world is too big, you need to venture out on your own to appreciate its beauty. You have your own path." Lu Ya coaxed.

  "I know you're stingy, Master. Never mind. When can we meet up, Master?"

  "When the time comes, there will naturally be opportunities. There will naturally be opportunities!" Lu Ya said, and then hastily drove a auspicious cloud to fly away.

  "This cheap master is too timid!" Huang Shiren withdrew his gaze and looked at Jin Dashi, chuckling.

  Good grief, having obtained such a treasure, if you don't take this opportunity to improve your cultivation, it would be a waste.

  Haha, after looting, we have to divide the spoils, I also can't be an exception.

  The second update is here. I've been exhausted these past few days. Fellow Taoists, considering that each of Little Zhang's chapters are 3-4 thousand words long, please spare a vote! Thanks!
