Chapter 520 Attacking the Red Poisonous Mountain Ridge 27
Not long ago, Pei Moning and Ba Meng left that level eight warship.
After Ji Zhan took a fragment from Zuo Hao, the two brothers, who were already keeping a close eye on their "senior brother who had been gained and then lost," also noticed Fu Yun's movements and their hearts tightened immediately.
However, it was the Pill Master who collected the Yuan Soul fragments, and while they were worried, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
Could it be—
But a Pill Master is a Pill Master, a top figure at the ninth level. How could they dare to think too much?
Later, after the Pill Master collected several more fragments, they finally couldn't resist and jumped down to Wu Dongxiao's side, whom they were somewhat familiar with.
They thought they should subtly inquire about the matter.
Wu Dongxiao himself was unaware of this, but Zhong Cai, after noticing the eagerness of the two brothers, thought for a moment and, finding nothing to hide, sent a few words through telepathy to explain.
[Neither of you need to worry. The Sect Master's intention is that it's too regrettable that the geniuses were taken away by that Poison Toad Ancestor. Although the Poison Toad is extremely vicious, and the Sect Master and Grand Hall Master could only save a small number of souls, those who have already been saved... The Sect Master's intention is for me to give it a try...]
Although Zhong Cai did not explain the meaning of "give it a try" in detail, Pei Moning and Ba Meng both understood it.
Zhong Cai received this mission: to try to rescue Zuo Hao after this battle.
Pei Moning and Ba Meng certainly didn't dare to hope that the Pill Master would personally take action, and they were well aware of Zhong Cai's status among the seventh-level Pill Kings.
At this moment, both of them inevitably felt a mix of emotions, neither happy nor sad.
The good news is that the Pill Master sent Pill King Zhong to rescue them. Presumably, the fragment of the Yuan Soul that was snatched away is only at the seventh level. With Pill King Zhong's alchemy skills, there might really be a glimmer of hope that they can save their senior brother.
Tragically, this was a soul manipulated by Tongtian, devoid of even its consciousness. If even Zhong Danwang couldn't save it, Danzun might not be interested in helping either. In that case, the despair of losing his senior brother once again would sweep over him.
Both of them tried to calm themselves down.
Pei Moning took a deep breath.
"Thank you for your trouble, King Zhong Dan. My junior brother Ba and I will certainly provide the necessary resources and raise the required payment in the future."
Ba Meng nodded in agreement.
This is how it should be.
Zhong Cai raised her eyebrows, but did not refuse.
Whether or not he is given resources, he will do his best and use this opportunity to study alchemy—after all, it is a learning task given by the sect leader! But the fact that these two are willing to do so for their senior brother makes him feel better.
·
Of course, Pei Moning and Ba Meng are good people, which is one reason, but there are other reasons why they are so eager to offer compensation.
For example, they didn't want to offend Zhong Cai—what if they offended Zhong Danwang if they didn't mention the reward? Even though they didn't think Zhong Danwang was that kind of person, their senior brother was too important, and they didn't want anything to happen to him.
More importantly, they hoped that Zhong Cai would be more careful in handling their senior brother's primordial spirit and not let it be scattered.
This is understandable, because once you have a method, you have to try it, and in the process of trying it, danger is inevitable.
The amount of Yuanhun fragments is too small; if you're not careful, they can be completely destroyed.
The two brothers were unaware that Zhong Cai's ancient city had a simulation room where they could freely experiment with replicas and would not start with real Yuanhun fragments from the beginning.
Basically, while Zhong Cai might not be able to find a way, there is no possibility that Zhong Cai could directly consume the Yuanhun fragments.
That's just how junior brothers think.
They did their best to be considerate, hoping that Zhong Cai would succeed and that their senior brother could return to the world.
·
Apart from Pei Moning and Ba Meng, no cultivator recognized the other five Yuan Soul fragments.
This means that either these primordial spirits have no close fellow disciples, or they come from other realms.
As for whether he was a genius during his lifetime...
It's hard to say.
Different primordial spirits have different tolerances for evil secret techniques. The Poison Toad Ancestor must have consumed a lot of "experimental materials" and failed many times while carrying so many primordial spirits of the Heaven-Reaching level.
Although this was accumulated by the Poison Toad Ancestor over many years, just looking at the number, one can tell that not everyone has Zuo Hao's abilities.
There are probably more child prodigies than geniuses.
Many of them may even be from heretical sects.
There's no need to reason with those on the evil path when they're fighting amongst themselves.
Zhong Cai suddenly thought of this, paused for a moment, and then had a private chat with Wu Shaogan.
[Speaking of which, apart from Zuo Hao, no one recognized the other Yuan Soul fragments. Perhaps they originated from the righteous path or the evil path?]
Wu Shaogan remained calm.
Once A-Cai has figured out some methods in the simulation room, let's try them on the other unrecognizable fragments first.
Zhong Cai thought about it and felt that this was indeed a solution.
While he would thoroughly verify things in the simulation room before actually doing it, there were still extremely slight differences. The Yuan Soul itself was a mysterious and elusive thing, and when it was actually implemented, success could not be guaranteed 100%.
However, after thinking for a while, he continued to transmit his voice.
[I remember that among the remaining five pieces, there was one move that was particularly righteous and awe-inspiring, mostly belonging to cultivators of the righteous path, so I'll put it later.]
Wu Shaogan naturally agreed.

This epic battle has been going on for a very long time.
The Poison Toad Ancestor had long since exhausted all his bulges and was now fighting Pei Xiaoling purely with his physical body.
With each leap of the giant toad, countless shadows flashed.
At the same time, it will release a large amount of sound waves with a "croak" sound, and also spit out black venom.
The two fought fiercely.
Up until now, Ji Zhan has only focused on defense and has not made any further moves.
He still had control of the artillery, but he never fired again.
— Clearly, Pei Xiaoling hadn't had a chance to fight so freely in a long time, and as his Daoist partner, Ji Zhan naturally wanted to let him have a good fight.
Having exhausted himself to this point, the malevolent aura surrounding the Poison Toad Ancestor had solidified to the point of being almost tangible.
Throughout the battle, both sides were manipulating the forces of heaven and earth, crushing each other.
Both the man and the toad were moving at extremely high speeds, so fast that many onlookers with insufficient cultivation levels could barely see a few frames at the beginning, but later they could only see two blurry auras clashing.
·
Wu Shaogan hasn't given a lecture in a long time.
Because he couldn't speak anymore.
After seeing so much, he did gain some insights, but none of these insights could be accurately described.
Subtle, mysterious, and ineffable; it can only be understood intuitively.
Zhong Cai stared at it for a while, but he didn't understand at all—so in the past few days, he would occasionally accept requests for help from alchemists who were treating patients, and solve their problems.
Wu Dongxiao seemed to have a vague understanding as well.
Xuan Bing was just as indifferent as Zhong Cai—perhaps because neither of them were the main characters?
Logically speaking, it's not surprising that someone with Wu Shaogan's top-tier talent could glimpse some profound mysteries at the Spirit Transformation stage. If Wu Dongxiao were also at the Spirit Transformation stage, he would also be able to comprehend them with his exceptional talent. However, he is currently only at the Palace Building stage... This is most likely due to the protagonist's halo.
Zhong Cai touched her chin, seemingly unconcerned about these things, only finding it somewhat amusing.
His specialty was alchemy.
Zhong Cai believed that if a highly accomplished expert were refining a level-nine pill right now, he would likely gain many insights, just like Old Wu at this moment.
·
Many cultivators who came out to watch were already dizzy and disoriented.
After finally killing all the evil Nirvana cultivators, the righteous ones returned to their level nine warships to rest and recuperate.
Jiang Chongguang, the master, did not come to his disciples' ancient city to knock on the door, but went to Sang Yunchu's place instead.
Now, Jiang Chongguang and Sang Yunchu are also standing at the bow of the level nine warship, watching the battle, and have been there for quite some time.
·
Under the overwhelming power of the two, the entire Red Mist Mountain Range was completely flattened.
Now it has become a huge, deep valley where even the knife marks and claw marks have disappeared.
Every inch is smooth.
All the smoothness was created by the crushing force of heaven and earth.
Because of this power, the deep valley has become indestructible.
So much so that none of the various impacts that occurred during the battle between the two Heavenly Beings could change the shape of the deep valley.
It is conceivable that this place will remain like this for many years to come, until countless years later, when time wears away its imposing presence, the deep valley will gradually transform into something else entirely.
Such a scene is horrifying.
·
Gradually, the Poison Toad Ancestor slowed down.
A lot of flesh and blood had been shed from his body.
When these flesh and blood hit the ground, they made a "sizzling" sound.
However, because the ground had been solidified by the power of heaven and earth, there was only a sound, but no damage was visible.
Flesh and blood rolled on the ground.
Suddenly, the Poison Toad Ancestor let out a loud croak.
Unlike the previous sound waves, this time it was pure agonizing howls!
It turned out that one of his forelimbs had been severed by the blade!
The Poison Toad Ancestor leaped up again, its enormous toad body trembling as it dodged the continuous barrage of blades.
The crimson blood flowed even faster, forming streams on the ground.
After breaking through the Poison Toad Ancestor's defenses, the Poison Toad Ancestor's anger materialized, even his manipulation of the power of heaven and earth was imbued with a boundless rage—
Even so, the Poison Toad Ancestor could not reverse its decline.
As he jumped rapidly, a fleshy ball suddenly appeared in the area where his forelimbs had been lost, and it shook even more violently.
This is in the process of recovery.
It seems that the Poison Toad Ancestor possesses a secret technique that allows him to transform into a giant toad while simultaneously regenerating severed limbs.
However, it will take some time.
Everyone knows the principle of "taking advantage of someone's illness to kill them."
At that moment, a tremendous roar resounded.
Ji Zhan has fired the first shot!
This time, thousands of cannons fired simultaneously!
Furthermore, each cannon barrel fires in rapid succession.
The target of their attack was the giant toad.
At that very moment, Pei Xiaoling suddenly stopped wielding his sword.
Even faster than the artillery fire was a rope that Pei Xiaoling suddenly threw out.
The rope instantly transformed into a giant net, completely enveloping the Poison Toad Ancestor.
The blood of the Poison Toad Ancestor boiled, forming a blood mist that rapidly corroded the giant net.
The corrosion is extremely rapid, taking less than a breath.
But what's the use of that?
Just as the Poison Toad Ancestor was trapped, all the artillery fire came at once.
The Poison Toad Ancestor failed to escape in time and was thus swallowed up by the countless cannon fire.
In that very instant, the flash of the blade formed a prison.
It also enveloped everything.
The chopping was dense and seemingly never-ending.
