There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 18: Anger and Surprise

In fact, Jiang Liang had arrived at the entrance of the Seventeenth Cave long before Wang He sensed the acupoints.

Jiang Liang hoped, no, it would be more accurate to say that he was eager.

Eager to discover another talent like Xia Ming.

To make his Soul Capturing Cliff function normally again.

And Wang He was the person he had high hopes for.

Wang He's performance in the spiritual sensing test was outstanding, and Jiang Liang had great expectations for him, especially since Xia Ming was definitely not coming back.

Jiang Liang had also learned the truth from Jiang Chongtai. He knew that He Niansheng had a grudge against his grandfather, Jiang Xiong, and naturally couldn't stand to see Jiang Xiong's descendants doing well.

Jiang Liang's father had been manipulated and killed by He Niansheng in the past, and now He Niansheng had set his sights on Jiang Liang. He Niansheng was like a mad dog.

What kind of nonsense Hidden Spirit Root?

That was just He Niansheng's method of manipulating Jiang Liang.

What made Jiang Liang even more speechless was that he had actually believed it at the time.

It had to be said that He Niansheng's trick was really clever!

Not only did he capture Xia Ming, but he also forced Li Dahua to switch sides.

This move was like pulling out the rug from under their feet.

Losing Li and Xia, the Soul Capturing Cliff was directly crippled.

Standing in front of the cave, Jiang Liang felt his anger grow stronger as the cold wind blew from the cliff.

Why didn't he think it through at that time?

How could he believe He Niansheng's claim of a Hidden Spirit Root?

As long as he took out the Spirit Root detection stone, he would know if it was true or false.

Besides, even if it was a Hidden Spirit Root, it wouldn't be He Niansheng's place to take him as a disciple!

Unfortunately...

Jiang Liang hesitated, he was fooled by He Niansheng.

As time slowly passed, half an hour, one hour...

Jiang Liang, standing in front of the cave, became increasingly impatient.

Could the difference between people really be greater than that between humans and dogs?

How could this Wang He be so much worse than Xia Ming?

He's a crane, can't he even make a sound?

Taking a step out of the cave, Jiang Liang looked at the hesitant Wang He and became even more furious.

Blood stains the blade, two and a half inches open!

Is this Wang He brainless?

Hmm?

He's producing spiritual stones!

This kid is quite lucky.

Hmm? Something's not right!

Why are there so many spiritual stones?

When did the disciples of the Great River Sect become so wealthy?

I want to see who you really are!

Taking a step forward, Jiang Liang's eyes fell directly on Li Dahua's pale face.

- Bang, bang, bang -

His heartbeat accelerated, his blood surged.

Jiang Liang suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and shivered all over.

At that moment, a bone-chilling coldness surged up his spine and reached his heavenly spirit.

Just at this moment, the clueless Wang He turned his head again.

Raising his hand, Jiang Liang directly knocked him unconscious.

"Useless! Useless!"

Looking at Li Dahua lying on the corpse table, Jiang Liang's pupils tightened and his mouth twitched.

He didn't know if he was calling Wang He useless or Li Dahua useless.

Or perhaps... himself.

How could Li Dahua be dead?

Why did he die?

To silence him?

He Niansheng?

Why silence him?

- Bang, bang, bang -

His heartbeat pounded like iron hooves.

His soul felt like a tightly stretched string.

Clang, clang, clang -

Jiang Liang felt that the Seventeenth Cave was becoming colder and more bone-chilling.

Ignoring the blood-stained spiritual stones, Jiang Liang, with a gloomy expression, decided to personally examine the body.

No external injuries, no abnormalities in the lips, teeth, or fingertips. It wasn't death by poisoning.

The pupils are normal, not a soul injury...

There's spiritual energy inside the body... Hm?

This isn't spiritual energy!

Qi Condensation is in liquid form!

Li Dahuzi is at the Foundation Building stage!

Li Dahuzi is already in his fifties!

His dantian is like a stone hole, and the spiritual energy is like dissipating smoke. How could he possibly be at the Foundation Building stage!

Could it be... a Foundation Building Pill!

Thinking of the Foundation Building Pill, Jiang Liang's face immediately showed a trace of ferocity.

Li Dahuzi, a dog-like thing, is not even from the Four Clans. How could he have a Foundation Building Pill!

The thing that Jiang Liang couldn't obtain back then, how could Li Dahuzi have it!

To determine if it's a Foundation Building Pill, a test will reveal the truth.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liang immediately took action.

Activating his spiritual energy, connecting his acupoints, a glimmer of light flashed, and Jiang Liang's hand was already holding a slender jade needle.

With the jade needle in hand, Jiang Liang directly stabbed towards Li Dahuzi's dantian. When the transparent jade needle was pulled out again, it was already half green.

Through the faint green color, one could vaguely see a silver thread moving inside, which was the spiritual liquid condensed by the Golden Spirit Root.

Green dye, silver liquid!

Indeed, it's a Foundation Building Pill!

Biting his teeth, Jiang Liang's eyes were almost bloodshot.

Jiang Liang naturally knew that with Li Dahuzi's background, he couldn't obtain this Foundation Building Pill.

There is only one possibility, Li Dahuzi's Foundation Building Pill was given by someone else.

And that person must be Qingdan He Niansheng.

He Niansheng!

You really are a madman!

Even if you are a genius in Alchemy Dao, everything you have is given by the Great River Sect.

How could the Great River Sect, with its four clans, produce such a rebellious person like you!

You!

You actually gave a Foundation Building Pill to a nobody!

At the moment when Jiang Liang was furious, a bone-chilling cold wind directly blew into the Seventeen Caves.

As the cold wind blew, the anger in Jiang Liang's heart suddenly extinguished.

As a cultivator, Jiang Liang had to think more and be more cautious.

The path of immortality is treacherous, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

Jiang Liang looked at Li Dahuzi in front of him and began to review the whole situation step by step.

Hundreds of spiritual stones... plus a high-quality Foundation Building Pill?

Could this be the bargaining chip offered by He Niansheng?

He Niansheng may be a madman, but he is definitely not a fool.

To spend such a price to bribe a Qi Refining disciple?

Why use ten carrots to deceive a rabbit that can be deceived by one?

In the moment of hesitation, Jiang Liang remembered the expression on He Niansheng's face when he made his move that day.

There was no disgust or hatred in his eyes, only pure killing intent.

That gaze... was like a wolf protecting its food.

Could it be that all of this is true?

Xia Ming really has a hidden Spirit Root!

Realizing this, Jiang Liang didn't dare to delay for a moment.

Riding his sword swiftly, Jiang Liang directly headed to the Great Pine Peak.

On the Great Pine Peak, there lived Jiang Chong, the elder of the Great River Sect.

Under a big tree in the mountains, Jiang Liang found the bare-chested old man sitting in the snow.

This old man had a thin and dark complexion. He didn't look like a cultivator, but more like a farmer.

And this black old man was Jiang Liang's great-uncle, a Core Formation cultivator, Jiang Chong.

"Great-uncle! Great-uncle! Xia Ming really has a hidden Spirit Root!"

Kneeling in front of Jiang Chong, Jiang Liang kowtowed repeatedly.

A slap.

Jiang Liang was directly slapped away.

Even in the heavy snow, Jiang Chong didn't open his eyes.

"I've told you before, don't be obsessed with temporary gains and losses. We, the Jiang clan, can afford to lose."

"Soul Capturing Cliff won't work, then it will be the Hall of Punishment. What are you worried about? You are a member of the Jiang clan, and I will take care of you."

Ignoring the blood at the corner of his mouth, Jiang Liang crawled and knelt in front of Jiang Chong.

"Great-uncle! Li Dahuzi! Li Dahuzi is dead! He obtained a Foundation Building Pill!"

"And He Niansheng tampered with the pill!"

Upon hearing Jiang Liang's words, Jiang Chong slowly opened his eyes.

"Tell me, tell me everything from the beginning!"

"Don't leave out any details!"
