Chapter 437: Get Started
"Does anyone have any medicine that can help my friend reattach his severed limb?" Mu Zhen asked hopefully to those around him.
Upon hearing this, the crowd that had been pushing and shoving immediately retreated several steps, creating a vacuum around Mu Zhen and his companions.
Because they were also curious to know if anyone present could produce such a pill.
About a minute later, a man with a missing leg walked out hesitantly, leaning on a cane. He glanced at Fu Tingyu's arm and shook his head.
"Young lady, if it was just cut off, a regular bone-healing pill should be enough to set it back up."
After three days, it becomes difficult. Look at my leg; it's been broken for twelve years, and we still haven't found a way to set it.
From what I've obtained in the Void Realm so far, there are only two methods: one is the first-tier Jade Glass Pill.
This elixir is easy to refine, but one of its ingredients, the Jade Glass Sacred Fruit, seems to be unheard of in any realm.
There is also an eighth-grade supreme-quality Rejuvenation Pill.
Once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, they can rebuild their physical body, so very few people specialize in this path, and there are truly not many ways to regenerate severed limbs.
"Eighth-order? Isn't that the same as not having one? In our realm, even a fifth-order pill is the absolute best."
"There are no pills above the sixth rank in the cultivation world, so they simply cannot be refined. Only pills from the spirit world can reach that level."
"The most powerful cultivators in our realm are only at the Nascent Soul stage, and they all consume fifth-grade pills."
"It's not like there's no hope. This is a Void Secret Realm, and people from the Spirit Realm will come here. My ancestor once encountered people from the Spirit Realm in Dragon Valley."
Mu Zhen pressed on, "Isn't there any other way? For example, instead of using pills, what about using other rare and precious materials?"
The man with the broken leg smiled bitterly: "Perhaps there are, but we just don't know it. Besides, with our cultivation level, we wouldn't be able to come into contact with anyone who possesses eighth-grade pills!"
Such powerful beings are not only difficult to approach even slightly, but even if they could get close, why would they give them the pills?
Barter? What a joke! At that level, the Qi Refining Realm is nothing but a speck of dust to these people, so why would they care about what they have?
Even the combined treasures of the entire cultivation world couldn't buy a mere glance from such a powerful being.
Knowing that he could only regain his leg in this lifetime, he could only ascend to the spirit world.
"Why did you take so long? Why didn't you reconnect it immediately when it was first broken?" Bai Lingling fiddled with Fu Tingyu's empty sleeve: "The wound has already healed completely."
Once they've grown up, it's extremely difficult to reconnect them. Surely your realm doesn't even have low-grade bone-regenerating pills?
They couldn't answer that casually. They couldn't let everyone know they came from the mortal realm; they had to make these people mistakenly believe they had an even more powerful backup outside of Dragon Valley.
Fu Tingyu sighed softly: "At that time, I was trapped in a secret realm, and all the pills I had were stolen by bandits."
"I see," Bai Lingling shrugged sympathetically, "there's nothing I can do to help with this."
"I happen to have a second-grade top-quality Rejuvenation Pill here, which can heal the injury on your hand, young lady." The Second Prince took out a porcelain bottle.
Mu Zhen raised his left hand and waved it at the other person, and the Second Prince nodded.
[This will do; it's exactly what I need. I can't use my strength after my tendons were severed.]
However, just as Mu Zhen received the jade porcelain bottle from the Second Prince, another mishap occurred on the stage.
The cloaked leader walked up to Emperor Tianhuang and said, "Fellow Daoist, your companions can come up on their own, or they can bring others with them into the Burial Dragon Abyss."
There are fifty spots available, but…” He changed the subject, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture, “You have to stay!”
Xiao Jukeng felt a tightness in his chest. These people were indeed up to no good; they wanted to detain Emperor Tianhuang so they could dispel the black mist on the white jade zither.
After hearing this, Mu Zhen secretly took a deep breath and looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand.
Although he really didn't want to return it, he couldn't bring himself to forcibly take it before he had helped the other person get what he wanted.
So he handed the bottle back: "Here you go, we'll talk later, we'll take this!"
He turned around and glared angrily at the leader, gritting his teeth: "What do you mean? You're going back on your word, aren't you?"
The second prince had not expected this turn of events. He put away the porcelain bottle and looked up at the stage with a gloomy expression.
The cloaked leader said nothing, and before a riot could break out, he raised the black seal and coldly ordered, "Seize him." He then assured the beginnings of unrest in the crowd below, "Please be quiet."
We have no other intention than to ask this fellow Daoist to play us a few more tunes for a few more days.
Consider this box of spirit stones on the stage as a favor I'm doing for you all.
I hope everyone will refrain from interfering in the private matters between me and this fellow Daoist.
Emperor Tianhuang frowned, staring intently at the other person.
What a vicious scheme! Even if he doesn't accept it now, the people below the stage will help the cloaked man force him to comply in order to activate the teleportation array.
The more than two thousand people who wanted to step forward and "stand up for justice" instantly fell silent, their hearts filled with even more restless desire.
Sacrificing one outsider in exchange for everyone else being buried in the Dragon Abyss—even a fool would know which choice to make.
"Don't go too far. At worst, we'll all be trapped here. Anyway, throughout history, very few people have been able to get through the Tongxin Road."
"That sounds nice, but all you really want to do is imprison him, don't you?"
Just then, the two teams, led by their respective leaders, flew one after the other with imposing momentum, using their light-footed skills.
But for some reason, halfway through the flight, the two leaders who had just spoken seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and hurriedly urged their teammates to turn around and run back.
'boom! '
Just as everyone was puzzled by the actions of the two groups, a gunshot rang out, and a cloaked figure who hadn't even touched the Emperor Tianhuang fell to the ground with a thud.
Upon closer inspection, a distinct small blood hole was visible on the center of his forehead.
Everyone fell silent, staring in disbelief.
That's a half-step Foundation Establishment realm cultivation level! Even if spiritual power can't be used here, their physical strength has already been honed to the peak of the Qi Refining realm.
He was killed just like that?
What kind of hidden weapon is so powerful?
However, if even a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator can be killed in one move, then those of them who are inferior to the cloaked man...
Mu Zhen was stunned. He just casually shot him in the head? Damn, that's awesome!
And the fact that the bullets could actually kill people instantly boosted his confidence. Without saying a word, he pulled the pin on a grenade and hurled it at the cloaked leader, yelling, "Go to hell!"
Emperor Tianhuang ignored those who came to capture him, hiding everywhere while waiting for an opportunity.
The instant Mu Zhen threw the grenade, he immediately performed a side somersault. Before he even landed, his right hand suddenly shot out, and the large black seal that the cloaked man had been holding up fell into his hand.
Mu Yunfei seized the opportunity, and in a flash, he grabbed Di Tianhuang's outstretched left arm and disappeared into thin air.
Just as the cloaked leader had said at the beginning, it would be useless even if the seal was stolen, as he could destroy it with his will no matter how far away it was, so there was no rush to chase after it.
Glancing at his dead subordinate on the ground, the leader stiffened slightly, his anger surging. Almost without thinking, he grabbed one of his men and used him as a shield.
