Chapter 1775: He Himself Wants to Speed Cultivate

Seeing Ye Zhangqing and the two others suddenly appear, the several Netherworld Palace disciples all furrowed their brows slightly, a hint of suspicion flashing in their eyes.

"Who are you?"

Several disciples looked at Ye Zhangqing and asked; they knew the steward of the Hall of Longevity, and also the fifth elder of the Guo Family, one of the disciples had also seen him before.

However, at this moment both of them were following behind Ye Zhangqing; it was obvious that among the three, Ye Zhangqing seemed to be the one in charge.

But how could a mere Cultivation: Great Emperor Realm kid make the fifth elder of the Guo Family willingly follow behind him?

So, these several Netherworld Palace disciples asked suspiciously.

Facing the disciples' inquiries, Ye Zhangqing also replied politely.

"I am Ye Zhangqing; Brother Luo and I come from the same Xia Jie, and we are fellow cultivators."

He briefly introduced his identity and explained his relationship with Luo Jiuyou.

But saying this only made the several Netherworld Palace disciples more doubtful.

According to Ye Zhangqing's words, the several Netherworld Palace disciples instantly guessed that Ye Zhangqing was probably the same as Luo Jiuyou.

After being forcibly taken from the Xia Jie into the Immortal Realm by the Guo Family, the purpose was to later enter that immortal realm.

It's easy to understand, but hard to comprehend: how could a person from the Xia Jie make the fifth elder of the Guo Family willingly stand behind him?

Moreover, from beginning to end, the fifth elder never interjected, obviously acquiescing to let Ye Zhangqing take charge.

Regarding this, the several Netherworld Palace disciples each couldn't figure it out: how could a person from the Xia Jie have such a high status in the Guo Family?

Though they were doubtful in their hearts, the leading disciple still spoke up.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Ye."

Normally he wouldn't need to be so polite, but because of the Guo Family's fifth elder, he also didn't dare to offend Ye Zhangqing casually.

After exchanging greetings, Ye Zhangqing also spoke up.

"May I take a look at Brother Luo's condition?"

"Of course."

Seeing the Netherworld Palace disciple nod, Ye Zhangqing immediately bent down to check Luo Jiuyou's condition.

After a thorough examination, Ye Zhangqing furrowed his brows.

Luo Jiuyou's meridians were completely severed, his entire body's meridians severely damaged—how did this happen? Was he abused?

This looks like he suffered inhumane abuse.

Thinking this, Ye Zhangqing's gaze toward the several Netherworld Palace disciples turned cold, and he spoke in a low voice.

"His meridians are completely severed; Brother Luo, how did he end up like this?"

Naturally sensing the change in Ye Zhangqing's attitude and guessing what he was thinking, the Netherworld Palace disciple who had just spoken still replied.

"Before, Luo Jiuyou came to our Netherworld Palace, received cultivation resources and a cultivation technique, and then began to push his cultivation."

"However, what he received was our Netherworld Palace's Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique."

"Although this technique is extremely powerful, it is also overly domineering, requiring great caution when cultivating."

"But Luo Jiuyou not only cultivated this Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique, he also took the Quick Success Method."

"At the time, the steward of the palace had already warned him that even normal cultivation of this Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique required utmost care, let alone the Quick Success Method."

"But Luo Jiuyou didn't listen; instead, he was extremely confident in himself and insisted on forcibly cultivating the Quick Success Method."

"At first there were no problems for a few days, but as he practiced, he went astray; by the time the palace elders discovered it, even if they acted immediately, they could only forcibly preserve his life."

"Later, to treat him, the cost was too exorbitant, so the palace...................."

This disciple simply related the events; although he stopped short at the end, the meaning was already clear.

Luo Jiuyou ended up like this because he was overconfident, and the Netherworld Palace felt that spending a huge cost to treat him was not worthwhile.

After all, a cultivator from the Xia Jie isn't even considered a disciple of their Netherworld Palace.

Such a huge cost was not worth it, so the Netherworld Palace did not seek a Pill Master to treat Luo Jiuyou.

Originally they planned to just let Luo Jiuyou fend for himself, but the steward in charge of Luo Jiuyou couldn't bear it, so they brought him to the Hall of Longevity to try their luck.

However, the amount of immortal crystals given was limited, so they had been haggling over the price here all along.

After hearing the disciple's words, Ye Zhangqing gave Luo Jiuyou a complex look.

So, saying he ended up like this is completely his own fault for ruining himself?

"Damn it, what are you cultivating the Nine Netherworld Purgatory Technique for? Just cultivate it properly, step by step—why insist on some Quick Success Method?"

"Now it's fine—he didn't learn the Quick Success Method, but instead turned it into a death-seeking method."

Feeling helpless inside, his expression toward the several Netherworld Palace disciples also softened somewhat.

It seems I can't blame them; even the fact that these disciples managed to bring Luo Jiuyou to the Hall of Longevity is already not bad.

So, Ye Zhangqing also rose to his feet and sincerely bowed to the several Netherworld Palace disciples.

"Ye, on behalf of Brother Luo, thanks all fellow Shī xiōng."

"No need for that; we are also just following orders."

These several disciples are ordinary disciples of the Netherworld Palace, with no particular status; they only brought Luo Jiuyou here because they were ordered to by that steward.

Just as they were speaking, the Immortal Chef of the Hall of Longevity beside them impatiently interrupted.

"You have something to say, you can go downstairs and talk later; I still have things to do. Three thousand immortal crystals—are you going to do it or not? Hurry up and decide, give me a definite answer."

This Immortal Chef doesn't have time to waste here with Ye Zhangqing and them; ultimately, how should he give a definite answer?

Upon hearing that, the several Netherworld Palace disciples still hesitated; it's impossible to expect them to spend their own immortal crystals to save someone, especially someone unrelated.

However, Ye Zhangqing immediately spoke up.

"Thanks, but no need; we can handle it ourselves."

"Huh???"

Having already examined Luo Jiuyou's injuries, Ye Zhangqing himself could heal him; moreover, the Hall of Longevity would take too long, while Ye Zhangqing only needs five days to make Luo Jiuyou fully recover.

For things I can do myself, why bother others? I just need to buy some ingredients.

However, upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, this Immortal Chef was stunned and asked doubtfully.

"You can do it? You're also an Immortal Chef?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure you can cure him? This kid's meridians are completely severed; if we use food therapy to treat him, are you sure you can do it?"

"I can."

Huh???

Ye Zhangqing displayed extreme confidence, yet this Immortal Chef was full of doubt, looking at Ye Zhangqing's young age—how high could his Chúyì possibly be at such a young age?

Could it be that he's even better than the Immortal Chef of the Hall of Longevity?

However, the Fifth Elder of the Guo family nearby, upon hearing Ye Zhangqing say that, also spoke up at the right moment.

"Then let's decide that way; also, please trouble Steward Li to prepare a room for me."

"No problem."
