Chapter 140: Don't Worry, Daoist Friend Wei, Wang Will Find a Way for You

~8 min read 1,492 words

Wei Zhongxian lay sprawled on the ground, not wanting to move a single finger.

Thinking back on his encounters in the North City District, he felt like he wanted to die.

Why had he been so shortsighted back then?

He had stayed in the North City District for a full half-year.

When he first entered the North City District, although he often got into fights with others, he had never suffered any major losses.

Although Wan Yao Valley focused primarily on the path of the Alchemist, it was, after all, a major sect that dominated a region.

In terms of Technique combat, it might not compare to major sects of the same level, but compared to most cultivation forces, it was still considered extremely strong.

However, his good days did not last long.

Ever since a woman named Tu Youyou appeared, his miserable life had begun.

The other party's strength was extremely abnormal; although she was at the Golden Core Initial Stage just like him.

Both her Dueling experience and her Technique methods were far above his, and her methods were extremely brutal.

It was as if she held a grudge against him; she beat him into a serious injury the moment they met.

Afterward, it became extremely regular; she would find him on time every three days to humiliate him.

Every time, she would break his limbs, making him suffer the pain of being trampled underfoot.

After being beaten three times, he realized the situation was not quite right.

He had thought about fleeing the North City District.

But every time, he was blocked back by the other party.

Until today.

Only because Tu Youyou encountered a challenge from a powerful enemy regarding the Battle Stele ranking did he finally find an opportunity to escape back.

"That crazy woman!"

Thinking of the miserable encounters over these past few months, Wei Zhongxian could not help but grit his teeth.

He was, after all, a heaven-gifted talent of Wan Yao Valley; how glorious he had been when in the outside world.

That woman actually dared to treat him like this; it was simply unforgivable.

He was not prepared to let this matter end here.

Although Alchemists are not good at Dueling, they are best at calling for backup.

He would make that Tu Youyou regret provoking him.

But before that, he had to heal the injuries on his body first.

Because he was beaten up every three days, the injuries on his body had never fully healed over these past few months.

If this continued for long, it would inevitably damage his foundation.

More importantly, the injury to a certain part of his body was extremely severe and had to be treated immediately.

If it were delayed and affected its function, then the trouble would be huge.

……

After an hour of refining.

An Ice Heart Soul Melting Pill was refined by Wang Jianqiang, with the Pill purity deliberately controlled by him at ninety percent.

He reached out and summoned the Pill into his palm.

Then he took out a Communication Talisman and sent out a message.

A moment later, Mo Wuming arrived.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, his attitude toward Wang Jianqiang underwent a 180-degree turn, and he began to chat enthusiastically the moment they met.

After Wang Jianqiang handed the Ice Heart Soul Melting Pill into his hands, he was even more excited and thanked him repeatedly.

"Ding, Mo Wuming's Good and Evil Value has increased."

The system prompt sounded suddenly.

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, and he split off a wisp of his consciousness to check Mo Wuming's Attribute Panel.

He discovered that his Good and Evil Value had actually jumped to 80 points.

So much!

Wang Jianqiang was startled in his heart and could not help but sigh secretly.

Sure enough, the friendship between men is still simpler and purer.

After Mo Wuming left, Wang Jianqiang returned to the third floor to continue refining the task Pills.

Three days later.

After gathering enough Pills for this task, he left his residence and walked toward Shenfeng Pavilion.

Halfway there, he suddenly saw an unexpected person.

"Wei Zhongxian?"

"How did he come back?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Wei Zhongxian on the other side of the street, his eyes flashing, and he waved enthusiastically at Wei Zhongxian, "Daoist Friend Wei."

Wei Zhongxian seemed to have a lot on his mind and was walking forward with his head down when a greeting suddenly came.

He subconsciously looked around.

After seeing Wang Jianqiang, his expression could not help but stiffen.

He suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.

But by this time, Wang Jianqiang had already walked over, so he could only bite the bullet and wait on the spot.

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang arrived in front of Wei Zhongxian and looked at the other party with a beaming smile.

"Daoist Friend Wei, you've returned from the North City District? Did you manage to make a name for yourself? I, Wang, would like to report the good news to Fairy Yang on your behalf."

Wei Zhongxian's scalp tingled upon hearing this.

He had just been worrying about Wang Jianqiang asking about this matter; he hadn't expected that what he feared would actually come to pass.

He had only gone to the North City District to prove his mettle in front of Junior Sister Wanxin.

He had gone with great bravado, but now he had returned in a sorry state, having lost his armor and weapons.

This matter was truly difficult to speak of.

But the fact that he was beaten up by Tu Youyou on a regular basis had spread quite widely in the North City District; he certainly couldn't hide it.

After thinking it over repeatedly, he let out a long sigh, "I won't hide it from you, Daoist Friend Wang. I, Wei, suffered quite a bit on this trip to the North City District. I didn't make a name for myself, but instead became a laughingstock for many."

"I hope you will not tell Wanxin about this."

At this moment, he still held onto a sliver of fantasy.

Yang Wanxin was devoted to the Dao of alchemy and rarely went out; perhaps she might not find out about this.

"Rest assured, Daoist Friend Wei. My, Wang's, discretion is famous; I certainly will not tell Fairy Yang about this."

After saying this, a flash of curiosity crossed his face, "With your cultivation, Daoist Friend Wei, it shouldn't be like this. Could you tell me in detail?"

Wei Zhongxian sighed.

Without hiding anything, he spoke of being beaten by Tu Youyou once every three days.

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Wang Jianqiang felt quite satisfied inside.

It seemed Tu Youyou had not been slacking off and had strictly carried out the task according to their agreement.

He was happy inside, but his face showed not a hint of it; instead, he revealed a look of indignation, "This Tu Youyou is truly detestable. You and she have no grudges, yet she actually targets you like this, Daoist Friend Wei."

Wei Zhongxian nodded, his expression somewhat gloomy.

A look of hesitation appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face again, "However, the name Tu Youyou sounds somewhat familiar."

As he spoke, he pondered for a moment, then slapped his forehead, "I remember now, isn't the genius ranked second on the Shenfeng Ranking called Tu Youyou?"

"It couldn't be the same person, could it?"

After saying this, he looked at Wei Zhongxian in surprise.

Wei Zhongxian nodded with a somewhat depressed expression, "That's right, it is her."

Originally, he had not known Tu Youyou's identity.

After returning to the South City District and simply recovering from his injuries, he had started calling for help, wanting to bring people back to the North City District to teach Tu Youyou a lesson and regain his standing.

But what he didn't expect was that the "experts" he called all changed color upon hearing the name Tu Youyou.

No matter how much he increased the reward, they dared not go with him.

Later, he found out that Tu Youyou was actually the Monster ranked second on the Shenfeng Ranking.

With her strength as the second on the Shenfeng Ranking, if she were to strike with full force, there were likely few people in the entire Shenfeng City who could defeat her.

Who would dare to offend her?

Therefore, after knowing Tu Youyou's ranking on the Shenfeng Ranking, although he was unwilling, he had to give up the idea of taking revenge on her.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He had no choice but to accept this loss.

However, just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang's angry voice suddenly reached his ears.

"So what if she's second on the Shenfeng Ranking? There is no way we can swallow this insult."

"Rest assured, Daoist Friend Wei. Isn't it just the second place on the Shenfeng Ranking? I will help you find a way."
