Chapter 89: 089: First Encounter with Jin Zaikun (Enchanting Immortal Medicine)
"Daoist, are you not giving any face?"
"Face is not something others give you; it’s something you seek yourself."
"I suppose I should properly see for myself what skills you possess." He simply didn’t want to make enemies with the three families and five sects, but it didn’t mean he was afraid to fight.
Heh! I wonder which family produced this pampered young lady, thinking that just because she piled up high cultivation with drugs, she’s something remarkable?
If you want to meddle, you must pay the price!
Jin Zaikun absolutely wouldn’t admit it, but he was indeed jealous of these young masters and misses from prestigious families who could sit back and enjoy various superior resources, unlike him, who had to fight tooth and nail for a bit of cultivation resources.
At worst, just don’t kill her later, and wait for her family to bring resources in exchange.
Jin Zaikun pulled out a soft sword from his waist. It was two fingers wide, silver-white, with a wolf’s head carved on the hilt.
He muttered something, waved the long sword, and a shower of silver light transformed into a beautiful arc, shooting rapidly towards Mu Qiuniang.
The woman widened her eyes: Mama, I’m seeing illusions!
Mu Qiuniang conjured a silver-white calligraphy brush in her hand from thin air, and, with a point in the air, an invisible barrier appeared between her and Jin Zaikun.
And so, the "illusion" in front of the woman disappeared.
Inside the barrier, Mu Qiuniang lightly drew in front of her with the brush, and a White Jade Wall appeared, blocking the white light.
"Bang——"
The white light struck the White Jade Wall, creating a fierce spark, then disappeared, leaving the wall unharmed and intact.
Mu Qiuniang pointed again, and a white rosebush grew from the wall, sprouting and growing to human height in the blink of an eye.
What is this?! Jin Zaikun, who had never seen such a move, was astonished.
Could it be, the thing in her hand was a high-level Spiritual Artifact? As expected of someone from a large family, such artifacts could be so freely wielded, unlike him, who couldn’t even dream of touching a high-level treasure.
Jin Zaikun silently took out another item—the Enchanting Immortal Medicine. It’s said that once released, even Daluo Immortals would fall unconscious, left at others’ mercy.
This medicine, Jin Zaikun had spent much effort to acquire, practically by lucky chance. He originally planned to use it as his Life-saving Card, but now he had something better—the woman’s Spiritual Artifact.
Compared to a disposable item, a Spiritual Artifact with its own consciousness is truly valuable.
With the Enchanting Immortal Medicine, Jin Zaikun felt much more confident. Greedy men die for wealth, as do birds for food. Originally he planned to spare the woman’s life, but now...
He eyed the silver calligraphy brush in Mu Qiuniang’s hand with growing greed.
"I see, you’re from the hidden Yu Family, aren’t you?" He began probing.
Even if he planned to kill, it was crucial to know who the enemy was, right?
"No." freewebnoveℓ.com
"Then from the hidden Dongfang Family?"
"No."
"Three families and five sects; from your spoiled demeanor, you don’t seem like you’re from a cultivation sect. That leaves only one family..." That family, the most dangerous of all. Jin Zaikun squinted his eyes.
He knew it. How else could his "luck" be so good as to run into a pampered young lady flaunting a Spiritual Artifact without any knowledge of her limitations, all along being from that family.
"You know, no matter which family you’re from, you shouldn’t meddle." Jin Zaikun spoke while diverting Mu Qiuniang’s attention and slipped a Detoxification Clear Pill into his mouth, "As I said before, there are some matters you shouldn’t intervene in. Do you know who the woman behind you is meant for?"
"Who?" The meddling Mu Qiuniang only heard cries of "murder," completely unaware of the situation.
Usually, she wasn’t so inclined to meddle, but saving a life is a noble deed, and those who harmed that woman were clearly shrouded in malevolence, constantly committing sins. Stopping others from doing evil was a form of cultivation.
"The Lei Family, the hidden Lei Family," Jin Zaikun said, "And what’s more, she’s been specified by the young master of the Lei Family."
Apologies, but she knew none of the mentioned families. After her master, senior brothers, and sisters either passed or ascended, Mu Qiuniang secluded herself within the Hidden Immortal Sect for lengthy retreats, rarely venturing out.
Later, for the sake of "experience," she entered the Mortal World, living in seclusion and isolating herself in some corner, remaining indifferent to worldly affairs.
If not for meeting Jiang Nuo, a fateful encounter she couldn’t avoid, she might have remained secluded for many unknowable years.
Mu Qiuniang’s expression remained unchanged, leaving Jin Zaikun to wonder: Did he guess wrong?
"Don’t believe me? I can show you the token given by Lei’s young master." Jin Zaikun, with a hidden hand, quietly touched the Enchanting Immortal Medicine against a Black Iron Token.
Worried she wouldn’t fall for it, he added, "I’m not doing this for the first time for Lei’s young master. I’ve previously followed his instructions, delivering several women to him. Lei’s young master has no other hobbies, just liking..."
He said, tossing the token to Mu Qiuniang, "Look, it’s this!"
When the Iron Token passed through the White Jade Wall, the wall didn’t obstruct it; instead, it passed through as if a mere illusion.
Mu Qiuniang raised her hand to catch it.
A pitch-black object with a circle of thunder patterns, and a big "Lei" character in the center.
"Hahahahaha..." Seeing someone fall for his trick, Jin Zaikun burst into laughter, "Little girl, you’re too naive! Didn’t your guardians warn you to be cautious of others before you went out to train?"
"You mean, this kind of medicine?" Mu Qiuniang’s fingers brushed the Iron Token, staining them with some ash.
Jin Zaikun felt something was amiss: "Do you know what that medicine is?" Impossible; the Enchanting Immortal Medicine required the antidote or else anyone who touched it would be affected.
"Don’t you feel weak in your limbs and your consciousness starting to blur?"
"No!"
"It can’t be. You’re lying! This is the Enchanting Immortal Medicine that even Daluo Immortals find inescapable?!"
"I never lie." As Mu Qiuniang pressed her fingers, the Iron Token turned to scrap metal, "Although your so-called Enchanting Immortal Medicine seems to be counterfeit with weak effects, even the real one would have no effect on me."
In the past, a senior brother specializing in alchemy feared she’d fall victim to strange medicines while traveling, so he ’trained’ her resistance by exposing her to various oddities, resulting in her immunity to most poisons.
Of course, it’s likely that this Alchemist brother had put her through numerous Detoxification Clear Pills, Poison Clearing Essence, hundreds of Lotus Fragrances, etc., to enhance her immunity.
"Impossible!" Jin Zaikun couldn’t believe it. This medicine had not only saved him numerous times but also helped him "teach" several cultivation experts a lesson.
Even his master, Tong Daozi had fallen victim once, saying it was something ordinary people couldn’t resist, advising caution, claiming it might protect him all his life.
