Chapter 520: Chapter 520
Leng Yutang felt extreme pain!
His body was simultaneously cold and hot, as if a hard ice block was forcibly wedged into his throat, making it impossible to breathe and nearly freezing his throat solid.
He couldn’t speak and his face turned red from holding his breath, only able to wave his hands to indicate, and then he suddenly spat out two mouthfuls of black blood steaming with cold air, followed by a fist-sized pale blue ice block!
Jiang Yuan reacted swiftly, capturing it with the Capture Net, thanks to the speed honed from using a fish scoop while fishing in the real world, not giving the ice block any chance to hit the ground.
At the moment of capture, the Capture Net made a slight "click" sound as it automatically closed.
Inside the net, the ice shattered, a cloud of white mist crashed around like a trapped beast, even causing the net to bulge on one side and then another, but it couldn’t escape.
[Task 4: Successfully capture the mature Silver-footed Snow Phantom Worm expelled by Leng Yutang, completed. Reward: Capture Net (single-use) blueprint has been issued]
With the Capture Net disappearing and the Silver-footed Snow Phantom Worm no longer struggling, it was automatically stored into the Storage Bag, now serving as a material for crafting the Resurrection Talisman, no longer posing any threat.
Jiang Yuan let out a sigh of relief, thinking he had gained experience!
If all else fails, next time capturing parasites, just let the host expel the black blood and then onto the net it goes, simple and safe.
Leng Yutang collapsed weakly to the ground, gasping for breath, feeling he had truly come back to life after expelling that thing stuck in his throat.
The blood, heated by the potion, surged within, no longer cold and lifeless, seemingly ready to freeze at any moment.
The Spiritual Power started circulating by itself, filling his body with warmth from inside out; he no longer breathed cold air.
A smile spread across his face, growing into hearty laughter, tears rolling down as he enjoyed the feeling of "thawing", shouting, "The feeling of living is so freaking amazing!"
"Squeak squeak?" The golden-furred little monkey tilted its head at its owner, Hou Ze also looked bewildered, "There seemed to be some commotion, but I couldn’t hear clearly. Shouldn’t... be a problem, right? The neighbor doesn’t look like a bad guy, plus Yutang didn’t bring the treasure with him, so even if he has any intentions, it shouldn’t be now..."
As he said this, he himself started to lose confidence.
What if? That’s the Earth Spirit Flame!
All the while, Leng Yutang’s cold poison erupted continually; faced with someone using forceful means, let alone resist, he probably wouldn’t even have the chance to call for help...
Just when he was getting lost in thought, the small shop’s door suddenly opened, Leng Yutang, looking rosy-faced, waved him over, "Come back quickly, it’s all good now!"
"Yutang? Is it really you?" Hou Ze was completely flabbergasted, feeling like he was dreaming.
Darn, it’s not really a dream, is it?
The neighbor is an Alchemist, not a Puppet Master, he couldn’t have made a fake to deceive people.
But the effect is just too...
The medicine didn’t dissipate immediately upon expelling the parasite but transformed into gentle Spiritual Power, continuously nourishing the damaged, weakened body, making Leng Yutang full of vigor, naturally a far cry from his sickly appearance.
"It’s not a dream, nor is it fake, I feel amazing right now!" Leng Yutang almost wanted to cast aside the thick custom-made clothes and change into regular Magical Robes to stroll around and see places freely, having spent these years confined to Red Ridge Mountain and the Earth Spirit Flame struggling for survival, it was really stifling!
Hou Ze confirmed again, happily thanking the neighbor.
"No matter how much gratitude is ultimately insubstantial, adding a practical touch better reveals sincerity. However, I must ask Jiang Dao Your’s understanding, we only have the Teleportation Talismans, they work but the experience might not be great, let’s head to my place..."
Thrilled by shaking off the cold poison, Leng Yutang, ordinarily rather shy-looking being thin and pale, became cheerful, taking out the Teleportation Talismans and cautiously looked around, lowering his voice, "Collect the Earth Spirit Flame!"
Unexpected rewards came wave after wave, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but smile brightly, immediately took out the Teleportation Scroll and said, "This one is faster and more stable, and it’s harder for other cultivators to track, Leng Dao You can even directly teleport to your home."
Hou Ze’s eyes gleamed, his thoughts constantly circling four words: envy! wealthy!
As expected of an Alchemist, look at the Teleportation Treasures they use, haha!
I hope after Yutang overcomes the cold poison, his cultivation can progress further, and his artifact refining can climb higher; if he could craft better Magical Artifacts or Treasures, that would be great;
I’ll do my best to sell and make a name for myself, no longer needing to seek medical help, saving up money to open a shop in a more advanced Market, then I can amass quite a bit of Spirit Stone; when traveling, I’ll use Teleportation Talismans!
Sure enough, Hou Ze didn’t even feel anything strange, the view went dark then bright again, and the group of three plus one monkey was standing in the small courtyard of Leng Yutang on Red Ridge Mountain.
"You might want to consider moving to a different place in the future, it’s just too hot here." As soon as they landed, the overwhelming heat rolled in, Hou Ze couldn’t afford Upper Grade Magical Robes that keep one warm in winter and cool in summer, immediately sweating heavily.
Leng Yutang hesitated and then softly replied, "But I am an Angry Fire Bear Demon, I need to practice Fire Element Technique and refine artifacts, even if I move to another place, I still have to consider places with plentiful Fire Elements."
Before he always thought it was the severe cold poison that made him feel comfortable in such a hot barren land, now that he returned to normal, Leng Yutang realized living in the remote Red Ridge Mountain where no beasts tread, it is indeed quite comfortable.
Hou Ze chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, as long as you’re free in the future, I’ll just make fewer trips to the Market, and I’ll try to come less off."
The golden-furred little monkey squeaked and vigorously nodded in agreement.
The indoor temperature was too high, and since it involved the secret and precious Earth Spirit Flame, Leng Yutang arranged for the two of them to rest and wait in the courtyard, while he himself entered the room to separate the small flame.
Anyway, idleness begets idleness, and with the Spirit Tea freshly crafted by the Tea Workshop + Level Six well water, realizing unlimited refills from the Gilded White Jade Pot, Jiang Yuan didn’t mind these few cups of Spirit Tea, taking out tea utensils to pour and inviting the two to drink.
"Excellent tea! Excellent tea indeed!" Where had Hou Ze had the chance to drink such Spiritual Energy-rich Spirit Tea? Feeling the tea fragrance and gentle Spiritual Power traveling within, he was incredibly happy and envious and excited, excitedly opening up. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novelFirｅ.net
After all, being a businessperson, these years running around for a friend’s cold poison are considered having gained some experience, coupled with wanting to use this chance to make a good connection with the neighbor, he pat his chest and praised, "If not for Yutang’s suffering from the cold poison with his high level of talent, he would have long become a High Tier Artifact Refining Master!
Imagine, back in the day, being expelled from his tribe wandering around and suffering cold poison from time to time, even then his master saw potential in him, accepted him as a disciple, taught him artifact refining, passed the Earth Spirit Flame on, if there wasn’t talent, would he get this treatment?
Moreover, Yutang hasn’t let anyone down, his health was in that state and still refine decent Magical Artifacts. The incense burner you customized last time was crafted by him, and there’s more..."
