Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 42: Eldest Son Takes Medicine

In the dimly lit room, a small flickering light swayed in the night breeze. The shadows of Zhu Hong'an and Gao Xian also swayed with the light, giving off an indescribable sense of strangeness.

Zhu Hong'an, slightly intoxicated, didn't pay much attention to this. He didn't think Gao Xian posed any threat to him.

What threat could a Qi Refining Stage 2 alchemist pose to him?

He was at Qi Refining Stage 8, and could easily overpower Qi Refining Stage 1 cultivators in terms of both mana and physical strength.

Besides, with Gao Xian's timid and cowardly personality, he wouldn't even dare to resist if Zhu Hong'an were to draw his sword.

Zhu Hong'an was confident that he had Gao Xian under control. If Gao Xian didn't sign the contract today, he would make sure Gao Xian knew his place!

"Shopkeeper Zhu, don't get agitated. Can't I sign it?" Gao Xian's face was filled with helplessness, clearly admitting defeat.

This made Zhu Hong'an very happy. "You know your place!"

He added, "The spiritual stones earned from selling pills over the past few months should be handed over. Zhou Ye and Huang Ying took their share, so it will be deducted from your monthly salary."

As Zhu Hong'an was happily speaking, he noticed a strange look in Gao Xian's eyes, as if they were filled with relief and sympathy.

"What does this kid mean?"

Zhu Hong'an felt that something was off. Before he could figure it out, he suddenly saw a glimmer of golden light in Gao Xian's bright eyes.

The golden light was dazzling and sharp, with an indescribable edge, as if it were an unstoppable divine spear.

Zhu Hong'an was startled. Although he was slightly intoxicated, he immediately realized something was wrong. "This is a spell!"

"Gao Xian didn't form any hand seals or chant any incantations. He actually cast an instant spell. How is this possible!"

Before Zhu Hong'an could fully comprehend the situation, he felt a sharp pain in his forehead, as if a red-hot iron spear had pierced through his brain.

This intense pain instantly overwhelmed Zhu Hong'an's consciousness and made him completely lose control of his body, causing him to instinctively let out a painful scream.

Gao Xian was not surprised. He had already practiced the True Yang Spear with Zhu Qiniang and tested its power.

Even Zhu Qiniang, with her strong body, had her eyes go black from being stabbed by the master-level True Yang Spear. According to Zhu Qiniang's estimation, Zhu Hong'an would definitely not be able to withstand this spear.

Taking advantage of Zhu Hong'an's loss of consciousness, Gao Xian grabbed him by the back of his fat neck.

With his master-level Electric Dragon Hand, he could completely control Zhu Hong'an's spine, ensuring that he would be unable to resist.

Even if it were a Qi Refining Stage 4 cultivator, if their body was completely controlled, they wouldn't be able to do anything fancy.

To prevent any accidents, Gao Xian had already taken out the Dream Inducing Powder with his left hand and applied it to Zhu Hong'an's nose.

He sighed in his heart, "Eldest son, take your medicine!"

He didn't want to be the big shot, but Zhu Hong'an insisted on being the eldest son!

Gao Xian's series of actions were extremely fast and smooth, making it difficult for Zhu Hong'an to dodge even in a sober state. Now, he could only let Gao Xian manipulate him.

The effect of the Dream Inducing Powder was immediate, and the screaming Zhu Hong'an immediately fell into a coma.

Gao Xian let go, and Zhu Hong'an's fat body slowly collapsed to the ground.

The sudden change shocked Yang An, who was behind them. When he finally reacted, Zhu Hong'an had already become a pig ready to be slaughtered.

Yang An was at Qi Refining Stage 4, a serious mid-stage cultivator. He had never thought much of Gao Xian, who was only at Qi Refining Stage 2.

Seeing Gao Xian easily deal with Zhu Hong'an, Yang An finally realized how terrifying Gao Xian was.

Yang An was clever, but at this critical moment, his mind couldn't keep up.

He stammered and shouted at Gao Xian, "You... you're crazy..."

Gao Xian glanced at Yang An. He didn't know Yang An and didn't know how to deal with him, so he looked at Zhu Qiniang.

"He's just a lackey following Old Zhu."

Zhu Qiniang looked down on Yang An and walked up to him in a few steps.

Yang An's face was filled with fear. He hurriedly took out a talisman from his sleeve, but before he could activate it, Zhu Qiniang grabbed his throat and lifted him up.

With his blood and qi unable to circulate, Yang An's face quickly turned purple. He kicked his legs, but quickly lost strength and fainted with his eyes rolled back.

Under the control of Zhu Qiniang, who was at Qi Refining Stage 9, Yang An had no resistance at all.

Gao Xian watched as Yang An was about to die and thought for a moment before saying, "Qiniang, don't kill him for now. If the evil spirit doesn't come, we'll have to let Yang An do it."

Zhu Qiniang was a little puzzled. "Is it necessary to go through all this trouble?"

"It's necessary."

Gao Xian said sternly, "There must be a reasonable explanation for Zhu's death. Whether others believe it or not, at least we can justify it within our sect."

"Alright." Zhu Qiniang casually put down Yang An.

Gao Xian went over and gave Yang An some sleep-inducing powder to help him get a good rest.

"Next, we'll wait for our old friend to show up," Gao Xian said.

Zhu Qiniang approached Zhu and casually asked, "How long will the effects of the medicine last?"

"With such a large dose, it should last for about two hours," Gao Xian wasn't too sure either, so he gave Zhu a small bottle of sleep-inducing powder.

Zhu had already been hit by Gao Xian's True Yang Spear and paralyzed by the Electric Dragon Hand, not to mention the sleep-inducing powder. Despite his high Qi Refining level, he couldn't resist.

Furthermore, both of them were watching, so even if Zhu woke up halfway, it would be useless.

Zhu Qiniang nodded. "That's good."

She untied Zhu Hong'an's blue robe, revealing a greenish-blue vest inside.

Zhu Qiniang took off the vest and handed it to Gao Xian. "Green Wood Armor, Old Zhu's most valuable treasure."

Gao Xian took the Green Wood Armor and felt its lightness and flexibility. The material was somewhat similar to leather.

The Green Wood Armor had a wave-like texture, resembling the bark of a tree, and looked very beautiful.

"What is it made of?" Gao Xian curiously asked.

"It's made from the bark of the Thousand-Year Green Wood Tree, exceptionally tough. It's a top-grade item among first-class items, worth eight hundred spirit stones. It can activate the Wood Shield three times a day. It also has the Green Wood Nectar Spell, which can heal various injuries."

Zhu Qiniang said, "Fortunately, your True Yang Spear is powerful and didn't give him any chance."

Although Zhu Hong'an wasn't very good at fighting, he had the Green Wood Armor and many talismans on him. If he really fought back, it would be difficult for Zhu Qiniang to quickly deal with him.

"Put it on, it's a life-saving treasure. The Green Wood Qi can also nourish your body's Qi and blood, which is very beneficial," Zhu Qiniang said.

Gao Xian liked the Green Wood Armor very much, especially its price.

If there was a real emergency, selling it would fetch a large sum of spirit stones.

However, considering efficiency, it wasn't of much use for him to wear the Green Wood Armor. Since he and Zhu Qiniang were working together, it wouldn't be fair for him to exclusively possess the Green Wood Armor.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Xian said, "I mainly focus on alchemy and don't engage in physical combat. The Green Wood Armor is more suitable for you."

Zhu Qiniang shook her head. "I don't need the Green Wood Armor."

She said meaningfully, "Let's kill Old Zhu together. We'll share the good times and the hardships. No need to be polite with me."

Gao Xian also smiled. "Alright, then I won't be polite."

He immediately took off the Black Scale Inner Armor he got from Lao Wang and put on the Green Wood Armor.

The quality of the Black Scale Inner Armor was quite good, but it couldn't compare to the Green Wood Armor. The difference was too great!

Gao Xian used his divine sense to communicate with the Green Wood Armor and could clearly feel some stiffness.

Hmm, it was like using someone else's phone, everything felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

Zhu Qiniang reminded him, "There's a bit of Old Zhu's divine sense imprint on the Green Wood Armor. Just use your True Yang Spear to erase it."

Following Zhu Qiniang's guidance, Gao Xian used his True Yang Spear to strike deep into the Green Wood Armor, and he could clearly feel a condensed spiritual power dissipating.

Gao Xian then used his divine sense to control the Green Wood Armor, and it was as if everything fell into place without any obstacles.

For Qi Refining cultivators, the Green Wood Armor was the highest-level artifact they could control.

The Green Wood Armor came with two spells, the Wood Shield and the Green Wood Nectar Spell. Gao Xian had never encountered these two spells before, so he needed time to adapt and integrate them.

While Gao Xian was studying the Green Wood Armor, Zhu Qiniang took off Zhu Hong'an's robe and removed his storage bag, magical tools, and talismans.

As the richest merchant in Feima City, Zhu Hong'an's wealth was truly abundant.

Zhu Qiniang placed the magical tools, talismans, and storage bag aside, standing below the eaves, watching her nominal husband.

She didn't know if the plan would succeed, and she didn't have much confidence in Gao Xian's plan either.

In any case, Zhu Hong'an had to die tonight!

Zhu Hong'an, who had been in a deep sleep for a long time, gradually breathed evenly. His eyelids twitched, and it seemed like he was about to wake up.

Zhu Qiniang looked at Gao Xian, and Gao Xian was also a little surprised. Zhu Hong'an was going to wake up after just an hour? Qi Refining cultivators in the later stage really couldn't be underestimated.

Gao Xian was about to give Zhu Hong'an some more sleep-inducing powder when he suddenly sensed that familiar Yin Qi.

Gao Xian felt delighted in his heart. "Good friend, you've arrived!"
