Niu Shanming underestimated Jiang Sanzu's cunning and ruthlessness.
Half an hour later, a painful groan came from a secret place in the Jiang family's ancestral land.
Jiang Sanzu curled up on the ground, his breath extremely weak.
Originally at the peak of the ninth level of the half-step immortal realm, he has now fallen to the mid-fifth level.
It's still falling.
Fourth level peak, fourth level mid-stage, third level peak, third level mid-stage...
It didn't stop until it reached the peak of the first level.
"Damn minotaurs." Jiang Sanzu used all his strength to sit up against the wall.
He poured all sorts of precious pills into his mouth as if they were free.
If he hadn't been alert enough, he probably would have really met his end here.
When Niu Shanming appeared, although he was at the peak of the ninth level of the half-step immortal realm, he still felt uneasy and anxious.
It felt like his time was up.
Without hesitation, he poured half of his own blood essence into the substitute puppet he had carefully crafted.
The substitute puppet was carefully hidden in a secluded yet easily accessible place.
Only then did he take the fake death pill and hide in the secret place.
Fortunately, the minotaur was too arrogant and careless, and left without checking carefully.
Otherwise, his tricks probably wouldn't have been able to hide it.
He absolutely must avenge this!
After taking the elixir, Jiang Sanzu looked much better.
But she is still very weak.
Jiang Sanzu leaned against the wall to catch his breath for a while, then began to sit cross-legged and practice his internal energy to heal his injuries.
However, the effect was minimal.
After all, he had suffered a severe decline in his cultivation level and lost half of his essence and blood.
Let alone recovery, even the chances of him surviving are still unknown.
Jiang Sanzu clenched his fists, his expression dark and uncertain.
He has to survive; he has to get revenge.
All members of the Jiang family should voluntarily and without compensation provide him with assistance.
Because he was the third ancestor of the Jiang family.
The first person in the Jiang family.
Thinking of this, Jiang Sanzu staggered out of the secret place.
He knew that Niu Shanming had held back.
but……
Jiang Sanzu felt no gratitude whatsoever; on the contrary, he thought Niu Shanming was extremely foolish.
If you don't nip the problem in the bud, it will lead to endless troubles later.
The patriarch of a clan, how could he not even understand such a simple principle?
So what if one advances to the realm of immortals?
Aren't we just going to be manipulated by ourselves?
Fortunately, the minotaur was foolish, which gave him a chance to turn the tables.
Jiang Sanzu sneered, black flames swirling around his body.
His eyes were frighteningly red.
He slowly rose into the air, and then his hands formed a very complicated mudra.
After completing the hand seals, Jiang Sanzu's face turned even paler.
He was swaying precariously.
But the next second, endless blood energy surged in, enveloping Jiang Sanzu completely.
Jiang Sanzu absorbed it greedily.
It took nearly two hours for the Jiang family to regain their senses.
Jiang Sanzu's aura has now stabilized at the peak of the ninth level of the half-step immortal realm, but it is still somewhat different from before.
As for the other members of the Jiang family...
They're all dead.
One by one, they were reduced to skin and bones, like skeletons.
Their vital energy had long been drained by Jiang Sanzu.
Nowadays, their identity can only be identified by the clothes they wear.
However, no one bothered to argue about it anymore.
Because of the Jiang family, apart from the First Ancestor and the Second Ancestor who were trapped in the forbidden area of the Western Continent, only the Third Ancestor Jiang remained.
The fact that Jiang Dazu and Jiang Erzu were still alive was unknown to anyone on the five continents.
Jiang Sanzu clenched his fists, his eyes growing increasingly bloodshot and terrifying.
Since that minotaur was able to advance to the Immortal Realm, it proves that the Immortal Path in this realm has not truly been severed, and he too can advance to the Immortal Realm.
Once he enters the realm of immortals, he will surely slaughter all those minotaurs, drink their blood, and eat their flesh.
Then they spread their hides on the road and let thousands of people trample on them.
Jiang Sanzu licked the corner of his lips.
Those energies and blood I just drank were really delicious.
If he could gain some more, he would surely be able to return to his former peak condition.
Then, following the guidance of the Crimson Sky Bow's mother arrow, they secretly found the location of the minotaur.
There, one must find the opportunity to become an immortal.
Jiang Sanzu quickly planned out his next steps in his mind and then left the Jiang family.
Now, let's talk about Yun Zhan.
He locked himself in his room for a whole day.
The refining process continued without pause, without the slightest delay.
The results were amazing.
In addition to becoming increasingly adept at controlling the Unfixed Sacred Flame, his extraction of medicinal herbs has also become increasingly refined.
However, it still doesn't meet Bai Qingqing's requirements.
His extraction was still substandard.
Yun Zhan took a deep breath. The table in front of him was already covered with all kinds of bottles and jars.
They are all purified from the same herb.
Each subsequent bottle is purer than the previous one.
Significant progress has been made.
However, it still differs greatly from the sample Bai Qingqing gave him.
Yun Zhan scratched his head in distress.
He really did his best and tried all sorts of methods.
But he really couldn't do it.
Yun Zhan has always been a prodigy in alchemy, but ever since he met Miss Bai, he has felt frustrated more than once.
Just as Yun Zhan was sitting dejectedly at the table, troubled, Bai Qingqing arrived.
"Young Master Yun..." Bai Qingqing called from outside the door.
Yun Zhan then came to his senses, composed himself, got up, opened the door, and said with a smile, "Miss Bai has arrived."
Bai Qingqing was holding a white jade plate with several strings of candied hawthorns on it.
There are glutinous rice ones, red bean paste ones, and ones without any fillings.
The candied hawthorns are very small, with only two on each skewer, and only two skewers of each type.
Red hawthorns coated with crystal-clear rock sugar.
It is a visual treat in itself.
What's more, it also has an enticing sweet and sour smell.
"I heard from Susu that you haven't left the house all day and haven't even had lunch," Bai Qingqing said with a smile. "So, I brought you some snacks."
"Thank you, Miss Bai," Yun Zhan said, taking the plate.
“Although cultivators don’t need to eat three meals a day, they should still relax and not push themselves too hard,” Bai Qingqing said.
“Miss Bai is absolutely right.” Yun Zhan nodded.
"Try it, I made it myself." Bai Qingqing pointed to the candied hawthorns on the plate: "Susu said that this is called 'Crimson Jade Fruit,' and she picked it from the back mountain."
In her opinion, this is just a hawthorn.
It's a real shame not to use it to make candied hawthorn skewers.
Yun Zhan knew about the Crimson Jade Fruit; although its effects were good, its taste was really not flattering.
It can make a person's teeth ache from the acid.
But it was served by Miss Bai, and it looked very tempting.
"Okay." Yun Zhan nodded and chose a glutinous rice one.
Then, with your eyes closed, take a bite.
The first taste is the crisp sweetness of rock sugar, followed by the tartness of hawthorn, with only a slight sourness.
Next comes the soft, sticky, and fragrant aroma of glutinous rice.
It has a rich flavor and is very delicious.
"This is so delicious!" Yun Zhan said, his words muffled, before he could even swallow.
"Eat more if you like it, there's still plenty left," Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
