Chapter 1: The lonely and helpless wife of the Dan King
Piaomiao Sect, Ziyun Peak.
Today, rolling thunderclouds suddenly appeared, with lightning and thunder, which completely shattered the lingering fairy air above the mountains.
Along with several sharp noises in the alchemy room, the crane perched on the old pine tree was frightened and fled in all directions.
“Elder!”
“Elder!”
“Daddy!”
"Husband!"
An old man was lying on the jade couch, barely breathing. Several figures were half-kneeling beside him, some were wiping their eyes with towels, some were crying loudly with tears in their eyes. Only one person was motionless the whole time, with a daze in his eyes.
This person's name is Xiao Jingsheng.
He is a handsome young man from the 21st century, with no other good qualities except being handsome.
Yes, I’m wearing it!
Just wear it if you say so. At least give yourself a prosperous Tang Dynasty or a powerful Ming Dynasty. At worst, give yourself a low-level martial arts world, with considerable wealth, dozens of slaves, hundreds of guards, and thousands of acres of fertile land. When you are in a good mood, you can go to a brothel to listen to music and appreciate flowers every night. In short, you can live a stable life with three wives and four concubines... cough cough.
But now, I have been banished to this most cruel, ruthless, and unreasonable fairy world, where human life is as cheap as an ant and mining may take hundreds of years.
It's so uncomfortable!
In the past, he didn't have many hobbies. He just liked to slack off, watch movies, and study book drawings.
Occasionally I read novels, the kind that cannot live without a car.
After all, I have read so many time-travel stories about immortal heroes, so I can barely accept the idea of traveling to a world of cultivation.
In the spirit of low-key development, he lives a reclusive life, is kind to others and is not combative.
But one day, he saw the back of the wife of the King of Pills and was so shocked by her beauty that he was inspired to paint a picture of a futon. After many twists and turns, it somehow ended up in the hands of the King of Pills. He originally thought that he would be punished and die, but unexpectedly he was appreciated. He dramatically moved from a menial worker to a formal employee in the Pill Hall, and serialized dynamic picture books exclusively for the King of Pills.
With the support of the Pill King, he can make seventh-grade elixirs. Even if the Danhua cultivator comes to visit, he has to show respect to them as disciples. The more capable ones will even give him one or two spirit stones. Wouldn't the speed of reporting be soaring?
He can also be considered as a civil servant in the fairy tale industry. He works in three shifts, likes to plant grass, specializes in painting skills, and has a good reputation.
It just goes like that: if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit!
But today, their greatest supporter was lying on the bed with a dispirited look on his face. What should they do?
Old man, old man, why are you hiding secretly to avoid the thunder calamity?
Wouldn't it be better to call on the elders of the sect to protect you?
Why do you want to save face but suffer in life?
That's right, this Dan King has always had a fierce temper and was particularly good at showing off. Those damn sword cultivators and talisman cultivators were never taken seriously by the arrogant him.
Normally, others would come to him to ask for help, but he never asked others for help.
Be strong throughout your life!
So now it’s going to be cold…
There were three levels of thunder tribulation, and this old medicine jar couldn’t even withstand the first one.
In comparison, those few people wiped their tears while asking the elder where your high-level pill scrolls were placed, who would inherit your medicine cauldron, and who would keep the key to the warehouse.
What Xiao Jingsheng was really worried about was where he would go in the future without the protection of the Dan King.
As for the inheritance of the Dan Palace, he had thought about it, but his strength did not allow it. Not to mention whether he could defeat these fellow disciples, he was afraid that once the news of the Dan King's death spread, they would not be able to enjoy the benefit.
And there is this beautiful lady next to her who seems to have walked out of a painting!
Without the King of Dan, this lady would have no idea into whose hands she would fall.
This made Xiao Jingsheng very worried about the other party's situation.
[The impending death of the Pill King has given you a strong sense of crisis. The "several potions" that I promised to pass on to you may not come to fruition. You look at the Elder Madam in front of you. You are afraid that the plan you have been brewing for a long time will also fail. You may as well make a speech in front of the mourning hall tonight...]
brute!
It’s already this late, why are you, a shitty narrator, joining in the fun!
And the plans and stuff are all slander.
I have great respect and love for the elder lady, and I am devoted to her mission and have no second thoughts!
Well, since he traveled through time, this thing has appeared in his mind from time to time, tempting him to commit crimes day by day, but fortunately, Xiao Jingsheng has a firm will and has never been shaken by it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingsheng's eyes involuntarily touched the graceful figure that constantly tested his will.
Two seconds later, the moral high ground collapsed.
"With such a despicable body, if I could..."
Damn, what was I thinking!
"Ahem, Jingsheng, come up here."
At this moment, Xiao Jingsheng's thoughts were interrupted by the Dan King's weak call.
"I?"
Xiao Jingsheng pointed at himself, a look of surprise on his face.
Soon, several sharp, envious, jealous and hateful gazes came straight at him, making Xiao Jingsheng's face feel hot.
There was no other way, Xiao Jingsheng had to bite the bullet and move in front of the other person on his knees.
Although the other few people looked unhappy, they obediently gave way.
"Come closer, please."
King Dan raised his trembling arm and waved to him.
Xiao Jingsheng had no choice but to put his ear closer.
The Dan King wanted to speak, but his eyes stayed on the other person's palms: "Jingsheng, what are you doing with the dagger?"
Xiao Jingsheng's old face heated up: "Sorry, sorry, it's an occupational disease."
Dan Wang shook his head, knowing that the other party was always cautious and had a strong paranoia: "Forget it, just listen to me."
Xiao Jingsheng nodded obediently, but held the dagger in his hand even tighter, especially as his senses were all shrouded behind him, fearing that the group of ferocious fellow disciples surrounding him would suddenly attack him.
"Jingsheng, cough cough, I'm afraid I can't survive today's disaster. Maybe it's because your painting skills are too superb that my health is getting worse day by day. I even misjudged my own strength, which led to this disaster. But I don't blame you, because you made me understand what true happiness is!"
"Ahem, although I vowed not to accept a disciple, I have known since you entered the Alchemy Palace that you are talented and kind-hearted. In fact, I have already borrowed most of my skills from you when I borrowed the comic book from you in the past. You just need to study hard and you will become a great person in time! Ahem!!!"
"Other things are fine, but you must take good care of my wife and daughter and make sure they don't fall into the hands of bad people. My child is still young and I haven't had time to teach him yet, so I'm relying on you... Hmm!"
It was unknown whether it was a last burst of energy, but the Dan King's face suddenly turned ruddy, and he suddenly propped up half of his body, tugged at Xiao Jingsheng's collar and said, "Oh, by the way, you must burn all those comic books you gave me. This concerns my lifelong reputation, so don't let outsiders know. And my life savings are all here... all here..."
“Where?!”
Xiao Jingsheng suddenly grabbed the other person's withered arm, but unexpectedly there was no response at all.
Looking down, he found that the famous Dan King of this generation was completely dead.
Depend on!
Please make it clear before you leave!
Xiao Jingsheng's face turned green.
You remember everything so clearly in the comic book, why don't you tell us about your savings first?
If I had known this, I wouldn't have tried to trick this LSP.
"Junior Brother Xiao, please tell us what the elder has told you."
The path to immortality is so cold and indifferent. As soon as the Dan King straightened his legs, the people who had miserable faces a moment ago all controlled their expressions. There was no warmth in their eyes anymore, and they couldn't wait to pry open his mouth.
And three of the male disciples had stopped the elder's wife in front of them without knowing when.
Xiao Jingsheng's face darkened, and he wanted to tell the truth, but he knew that he might not be able to explain it clearly today.
At this moment, he suddenly felt his thigh tighten, and when he looked down, he saw that it was the Dan King's young daughter, with whom he was usually close. She hugged his thighs tightly with her porcelain-white and delicate hands, and tears as big as beans rolled down from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as well as ignorance and confusion about her own fate.
Oh~
Even though the old man accidentally betrayed me before his death, he treated me well in normal times and I would never let his wife and daughter be bullied.
[Looking at this helpless wife and daughter in front of you, you finally exposed your evil ambitions. Although the elder is dead, his savings may not be unknown to others...]
The corners of Xiao Jingsheng's mouth twitched, but at this moment, he no longer had the energy to argue with this broken system, and immediately controlled his expression.
"Brother Zhao, you are the first among my fellow disciples to enter the Alchemy Palace. It is difficult to surpass you in terms of seniority and cultivation. I am only willing to tell you this."
Xiao Jingsheng held the dagger in his hands and bowed with both hands, his face respectful.
Senior Brother Zhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and looked hesitantly at the weapon in the other party's hand, but when he thought of the other brothers who were there, he slowly leaned over to listen.
Xiao Jingsheng lowered his voice: "The elder told me not to tell anyone else, so I hope Brother Zhao will also..."
Senior Brother Zhao frowned, but still nodded and said, "Well, I will keep my mouth shut."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingsheng smiled and took two steps back, also putting away the dagger: "I have told you everything about this matter, I hope Brother Zhao will show mercy and not entangle me any further."
Then, the rest of the people looked at Senior Brother Zhao with green eyes.
Senior Brother Zhao: “???”
