After saying that, Wu Qingshan handed a red pill to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng looked at the red pill in his hand that was emitting a strong aura, and couldn't help but ask:
"Elder Wu, this is..."
Wu Qingshan laughed dryly twice, then explained: "This is the elixir I refined, the Yaksha Pill."
"After taking this pill, your strength will increase for a short period of time. According to your current strength, if you take the Yaksha Pill, your strength will at least increase to the Spiritual Transformation Stage."
"With the strength of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, killing Lin Hongye is as easy as pie."
Zhao Feng looked at the pill in his hand, but he did not feel the slightest bit of joy.
Any power beyond oneself is obtained at a price. How could Zhao Feng not know such a simple truth?
So, he swallowed nervously and asked Wu Qingshan:
"Elder Wu, if I take this pill, will there be any side effects?"
...
...
Wu Qingshan nodded and explained calmly, "Of course there is. After taking this pill and the effect wears off, your life span will be halved and your cultivation will regress."
"But with my alchemy skills, I have been able to reduce its side effects."
"I've calculated that the side effects of taking this pill are nothing more than your cultivation regressing to the Golden Core Stage and your life span being reduced by one third."
When Zhao Feng heard about such a huge side effect, his face turned pale.
He has been in the sect for more than 20 years. During these 20 years, he has been constantly working hard to finally reach his current position and achieve the level of cultivation he has today.
But once he took this pill, all his efforts of several years or even more than ten years would be in vain!
When he thought of this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but analyze the pros and cons. Is it really worth it for him to do all this?
Looking at Zhao Feng's pale face and shrunken pupils, how could Wu Qingshan not know what he was thinking.
He patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, after killing Lin Hongye, I will take you back to the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect."
"When we return to the sect, I will personally help you to ask the sect master for credit and ask him to take action to eliminate these side effects."
"Then you can finally rest assured, right?" Wu Qingshan asked with a smile.
But Zhao Feng's expression was still uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When Wu Qingshan saw this, his eyes narrowed and his tone became slightly unfriendly.
"Xiao Feng, you must never forget how you got to where you are now."
"If the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect hadn't rescued you and given you a meal, would you have achieved what you have today?"
"If it weren't for the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect, you would have become a rotting corpse in a pile of dead bodies, instead of the senior brother that everyone admires now."
Zhao Feng finally lowered his head, tightly holding the Yaksha Pill in his hand.
“Zhao Feng dare not forget the sect’s teachings, and cannot forget them.”
“I just hope that after I return to the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect, Elder Wu will ask the Sect Master to treat my hidden illness for the sake of my years of hiding.”
After hearing what Zhao Feng said, Wu Qingshan finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad. I didn't misjudge you."
"For so many years, the sect has been saying that you have been lurking in the Great Wilderness Immortal Sect for more than 20 years, and you have long forgotten your roots and no longer have a place in my Bloodthirsty Demon Sect."
"But now it seems that you still have the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect in your heart."
"Alright, I'll go back and prepare for tomorrow's affairs. It all depends on your performance tomorrow."
After saying that, Wu Qingshan left the back mountain, while Zhao Feng stood there dejectedly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Zhao Feng put the pill into his arms and left the back mountain.
…
He returned to Jianfeng, but when he walked to his cave, he saw Wang Zide waiting there quietly.
Seeing Wang Zide, Zhao Feng suddenly felt uneasy and couldn't help wondering if he had exposed something.
He collected himself and stepped forward, saying respectfully, "Greetings, Master."
Wang Zide glanced at Zhao Feng and asked in an unintelligible tone, "Do you think you will win against Lin Hongye tomorrow?"
Zhao Feng's heart sank, but he still hurriedly bowed and said:
"Disciple will definitely try his best!"
Just as Zhao Feng was about to bow, Wang Zide used his spiritual power to gently help him up.
After helping him up, Wang Zide sighed with emotion:
"Alas, there are always talented people in every generation."
"Thinking back to 20 years ago, you were also the most dazzling genius in our sect. But now there is a Lin Hongye and a Lu Chen."
"I didn't come here to cheer you up. I don't know how strong Lin Hongye is, but I know how strong my disciple is."
Zhao Feng was confused for a moment and didn't understand what Wang Zide wanted to say.
Wang Zide patted Zhao Feng's shoulder heavily, with a rare gentle look on his face.
"I'm sure you've heard about the bet that Lin Yang made with us old guys."
"Master just wants you to know that you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself. If you can fight, then fight. If you can't, then don't be ashamed."
"Actually, if I really think about it, I don't really want to take Lin Hongye as my master."
"In my lifetime, I am already very satisfied to have cultivated a person like you who is both talented and virtuous."
Wang Zide said with relief, and Zhao Feng's heart, which had been calm for a long time, was now slightly rippled.
He looked at Wang Zide with a confused look, but Wang Zide had already turned and left.
"Remember, if you can't win, step down as soon as possible. Your master will instruct your junior sister to cook and prepare a celebration banquet."
Wang Zide's figure gradually walked away, but his words kept echoing in Zhao Feng's heart.
A moment later, Zhao Feng entered the cave, but the tears in his eyes were blown towards Wang Zide by the wind.
…
On the second day, the sun was shining brightly and the sect competition had reached the final stage.
All the disciples in the sect were looking forward to this match. After all, everyone wanted to know whether Zhao Feng, the former supreme genius, was better, or Lin Hongye, the new generation genius, was better.
Lin Hongye had already flown to the ring, quietly waiting for Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng did not show up.
Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but speculate:
"Why hasn't the senior brother shown up yet? Is he going to give up the game?"
"That's impossible. With the character of the eldest brother, he will always go out and try, no matter whether he can win or not. Maybe something delayed him?"
"If the senior brother doesn't show up, he will be judged as the loser of this match. Where on earth did the senior brother go?"
Everyone was talking about it, and Lin Yang, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, teased Wang Zide:
"Master Wang, your disciples haven't shown up yet. Could it be that they don't dare to compete and that's why they're not coming?"
"But this is normal. After all, Hongye is too strong. It's normal that he doesn't dare to compete."
