Chapter 1284: Divine Weapon Appearing
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The Mercury Gourd was a natural spiritual treasure. It could be as large as a star or as small as a speck of light. Zhang Ruochen stored it in his Sea of Qi the entire time. The Crazy Alcoholic naturally couldn’t find it.
Zhang Ruochen was annoyed to be touched by the Crazy Alcoholic. He was practically an old pervert. He dared to touch the private spots without feeling any shame.
Zhang Ruochen felt speechless. “Are you taking advantage of me?” he asked, annoyed.“How could I do those things with my character and morals? I’m not stealing the Mercury Gourd. I just want to touch it.”
His wrinkly hand reached into Zhang Ruochen’s collar and started patting again.
“Old alcoholic, Zhang Ruochen is badly hurt. You better get away, or else I’ll kill you.”
Huang Yanchen didn’t know the Crazy Alcoholic. She unsheathed her saintly sword and cut downward, producing a beam of white sword Qi.
The Crazy Alcoholic quickly dodged the sword Qi. “What are you doing? Burning your bridges? I drank legendary wine I preserved for 200 years to save you just now. Can’t I ask for some payment?”
Qing Mo couldn’t stand this. “Grandpa, Sir Zhang’s veins, meridians, and Saintly Meridians have all been shattered. The Princess is just worried that you’ll hurt him, so she attacked you. Plus, you just drank a flagon of your own wine. It’s not that high of a cost. You shouldn’t demand something like the Mercury Gourd from him.”
“Just a flagon of wine?” The Crazy Alcoholic was instantly upset. “Little girl, don’t you know that after drinking that wine, you’ll have multiple times the speed? You can escape from any enemy. I prepared to drink that wine when I was in danger and use it to escape. I didn’t think I’d waste it on you all.”A flagon of wine represented a way to escape.
Qing Mo pursed her lips. Looking to the side, she chuckled and said, “Weren’t you in danger earlier? It counts as helping yourself too.”
“I…” The Crazy Alcoholic thought that this girl was heartless. “If I wasn’t trying to save you all, I wouldn’t have been up against those cruel figures! I wouldn’t have been in danger! I wouldn’t have drunk that flagon! So the source of everything is all because of you.”
“If you want to find the source, it’s not us,” Qing Mo said.
The Crazy Alcoholic was stunned. “Not because of you?”
Qing Mo nodded seriously. “We came into the Yin Yang Sea to help Blackie find its sealed physical body. If not for it, we wouldn’t have entered the Yin Yang Sea or run into any danger. So Blackie’s the one who owes you. You should go ask it for compensation.”
“That fat cat?” The Crazy Alcoholic was taken aback. Thinking carefully, he nodded. The girl seemed to make sense, but it still felt wrong. What was amiss?
Did he really have to find that fat cat and ask for compensation?
Huang Yanchen checked Zhang Ruochen’s condition. His injuries were very serious. There was practically no way he could recover.
To a proud talent, having his cultivation disabled would be worse than death. Many people wouldn’t be able to accept this and would give up on themselves, even committing suicide.
“Zhang Ruochen…”
Huang Yanchen’s eyes reddened and shone with unshed tears. She was worried that Zhang Ruochen would also follow their steps.
Zhang Ruochen moved his lips with difficulty and smiled. “I’m not dead yet. Why are you crying? There are Spring Pills in my spatial ring. Take one out for me.”
Huang Yanchen shook her head. “No, your meridians and Saintly Meridians have all exploded. If you take the Spring Pill and the Pill Spirit spreads out, it won’t circulate within you. It’ll only dart around randomly and could worsen your injuries instead.”
“Oh, right. I don’t have meridians and Saintly Meridians anymore. I can’t use Holy Qi anymore.” Zhang Ruochen chuckled. He didn’t show any negative feelings. He tried to keep calm instead.
Huang Yanchen realized that she’d said the wrong thing. “Don’t think too much,” she quickly said. “When we return to the First Central Empire, I’ll definitely find the best pill master to help reconnect your meridians.”
Ao Xinyan bit her red lip with her white teeth. “Team Leader, come with me to the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan. I’ll definitely send people to find the best healing medicine. We’ll heal you no matter how high the cost.”
Zhang Ruochen was clearer than the others about his own body. It was practically impossible to heal shattered meridians to their original state, unless a miracle happened.
The Crazy Alcoholic walked over. He looked at Zhang Ruochen in Huang Yanchen’s arms with a complex look. Earlier, he’d seemed to be searching for the Mercury Gourd. He’d actually been checking Zhang Ruochen’s injuries.
“Kid,” he said. “I know a Saint of the Pill Way. We have a good relationship. We’ll go find him now. That old guy is pretty respected as a doctor in Kunlun’s Field. He might be able to make you as good as new.”
Ao Xinyan and Huang Yanchen’s eyes brightened. They stared at the Crazy Alcoholic.
Huang Yanchen’s attitude toward him completely changed. “Senior, do you really know a Saint of the Pill Way?”
Only those with Spiritual Power above level 55 who also had high attainments in the Pill Way could be called Pill Saints. Their statuses were comparable to Saint Kings. It wasn’t easy to find one of them.
Plus, even if they found one, he might not help a junior in the Saint Realm.
The Crazy Alcoholic smiled confidently. “I don’t have many friends, but each one is skilled. When I was young, I was like brothers with that Pill Saint. If I ask, he’ll definitely heal Zhang Ruochen.”
“You were like brothers when you were young. What about now?” Ao Xinyan felt that the Crazy Alcoholic was unreliable, so she had to make sure.
The Crazy Alcoholic paused and then smiled. “Naturally, we’re closer than brothers now. Come, trust me. With that Pill Saint’s skills, Zhang Ruochen can recover even if his meridians were shattered.”
Kaboom.
A strong burst of Holy Qi flooded out of the Abandoned Deep Sea. The Dead Soul Ancient Ship shook violently.
“Is a large battle finally erupting?”
Zhang Ruochen had Huang Yanchen help him stand up. He gazed toward the Abandoned Deep Sea.
The sky was covered in fire, turning red. The huge Holy Qi waves came from the cloud of fire. It was terrifying even from such a faraway distance.
The waves on the sea grew taller and taller as if wanting to overturn the ship. Gradually, the group saw an enormous mountain rise up over the sea. It shone with five-colored light, scattering the firelight. It colored the Yin Yang Sea.
“How come such a huge mountain came out of nowhere? We’re already outside the Abandoned Deep Sea, but we can still see the mountain’s features. How high must this mountain be?”
The Crazy Alcoholic widened his eyes. He stared at the mountain’s shadow. It felt like a tower, but it was too far away. He couldn’t see clearly.
Right now, Zhang Ruochen, Ao Xinyan, Huang Yanchen, and Qing Mo were all extremely shocked and dumbfounded. They couldn’t even breathe. Could this be the legendary Dragon Sun Moon Mix Tower?
A divine weapon appearing was definitely earth-shattering news. It was enough to change the balance of powers in Kunlun’s Field. If this news spread, it would definitely shake the world.
The Crazy Alcoholic’s eyes shone with a hot look. He couldn’t stop rubbing his hands. “If cruel figures like King Zhongying, the Thunder Heavenly King, and All Kill King enter the Abandoned Deep Sea, there must be an amazing treasure coming out. As to what it is, I do kind of want to see. Maybe I can get some leftovers.”
The Crazy Alcoholic sensed that Zhang Ruochen’s group had strange expressions. “You know what it is, right?” he asked suspiciously. “Did you really enter the Yin Yang Sea to find the fat cat’s physical body?”
Zhang Ruochen wanted to hide the fact, not wanting the Crazy Alcoholic to know about the Dragon Sun Moon Mix Tower. If the Crazy Alcoholic knew about it, he definitely wouldn’t leave the Yin Yang Sea anymore. He’d want to fight for it.
Competing with people like King Zhongying and Kill All King was like fighting for a tiger’s food. Any mishap could kill them.
Before Zhang Ruochen could speak, Qing Mo came out and said, “It’s the Dragon Sun Moon Mix Tower.”
“What?” The Crazy Alcoholic’s eyeballs almost fell to the ground. Yelping, he ran over and grabbed Qing Mo’s shoulder, sputtering, “Little…little girl…what did you say?”
“The Dragon Sun Moon Mix Tower,” Qing Mo repeated, not thinking anything was wrong. “Blackie said that the Dragon Sun Moon Mix, one of the top ten divine weapons, is in the Yin Yang Sea. The mountain that came out of the Abandoned Deep Sea’s center is too huge and its aura is too terrifying. It must be the Dragon Sun Moon Mix.”
The Crazy Alcoholic trembled with excitement and laughed maniacally. “I was wondering why those fierce figures would risk their lives and enter the Yin Yang Sea. They’d come for the Dragon Sun Moon Mix! Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Zhang Ruochen could see that the Crazy Alcoholic wanted to return to the Abandoned Deep Sea. He quickly reminded him, “A divine weapon’s appearance will definitely cause a bloody storm. Even if you happen to get it, it might not be a good thing.”
“I obviously know that, but if I leave without seeing a legendary divine weapon clearly when it’s right in front of me, I’ll regret it for life.”
The Crazy Alcoholic took an ancient yellow jade out. He handed it to Zhang Ruochen and told him a name, letting him go search for that Pill Saint alone.
Whoosh!
The Crazy Alcoholic flew into the air and rushed to the Abandoned Deep Sea as a beam of light.
Zhang Ruochen clutched the yellow jade. He stared at the Crazy Alcoholic’s back and glanced at the “mountain” above the sea. In the end, he just sighed.
Who wouldn’t be tempted when faced with a divine weapon?
If not for their low cultivation, Huang Yanchen and Ao Xinyan would probably want to try their luck in the Abandoned Deep Sea too. What if they were lucky and received the Dragon Sun Moon Mix?
They naturally understood the Crazy Alcoholic’s thoughts.
The Dead Soul Ancient Ship started off. It created ripples and gradually left the Abandoned Deep Sea.
