I’m young—I don’t need this Life-Preserving Jade Elixir, but you’re older. Let me offer it as a disciple’s filial gift, isn’t that fine?” Xia Daoming smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But these were all taken by you… Master…” Liang Jingtang’s hand trembled as he held the jade vial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was past sixty, and over the years had spent vast sums on tonics just to slow the decline of his blood and vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet with age, the rate of decline in blood and vigor only accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with this Life-Preserving Jade Elixir, a potent remedy, at his age, he might maintain his strength well into his seventies before it waned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this Elixir extended lifespan and promoted longevity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who among martial cultivators doesn’t wish to retain their strength? Who doesn’t desire a long life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Jingtang felt unworthy to accept it, yet inwardly he couldn’t bear to let this great opportunity slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, if you say that, then you’ve contributed greatly on this trip too. You take the Life-Preserving Jade Elixir, I’ll take these Frost Rabbits and Frost Purple Shouwu—fair and balanced.” Xia Daoming chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, I won’t argue with you. With such an outstanding disciple, I don’t want to embarrass you, and I want to live a few more years to see how you’ll expand our Hidden Dragon Martial Hall!” Liang Jingtang finally let out a bold laugh, then carefully stowed the vial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the spirit!” Xia Daoming smiled, then bent down, grabbed the corpses of Xu Zhiji and Xu Shisen, and hurled them straight over the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Jingtang watched silently, a sudden chill rising from his soles straight up his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were elder Xu clan members and the clan’s most promising youths—thrown like trash over the cliff by Xia Daoming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Liang Jingtang knew this was the cleanest, most efficient way to destroy the bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Xu Zhiji and his grandson were arrogant and cruel, their hands stained with countless lives—this was merely justice served, nothing to pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, let’s go!” Xia Daoming picked up the sack and bundle and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!” Liang Jingtang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two soon left the peak of the mountain, vanishing into the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after they departed, people gradually emerged from the mist at different points along the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each had pale faces, splattered with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a dilapidated courtyard of a deserted village at the foot of Cangmang Mountain, a bonfire burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large pot sat atop the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, three Frost Rabbit hearts and a Golden Crow herb bobbed and swirled in the boiling water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming and Liang Jingtang sat beside the fire, continuously adding firewood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Frost Rabbit hearts and the Golden Crow herb had boiled into a thick broth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming scooped a small spoonful, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the broth entered his throat, a surging energy spread through his organs, limbs, and bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is it?” Liang Jingtang asked, tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent!” Xia Daoming replied happily, then scooped a small bowl and drained it in one gulp, before sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes, and activating the Dragon-Snake Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Jingtang leapt up, landing lightly on the roof, then sat cross-legged without closing his eyes—his gaze sharp as lightning, watching all directions from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Liang Jingtang, the Golden Crow Return Soup was an extremely potent remedy; any distraction could cause the medicinal power to run wild and damage the meridians—he could not allow even the slightest disturbance to Xia Daoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Crow Return Soup’s power was indeed fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Daoming was different: if he could endure the first step, his meridians rapidly strengthened and upgraded, allowing him to withstand even more medicinal power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So on the first day, he drank only a small bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second day, he drank two small bowls in succession, making Liang Jingtang’s heart rise to his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day, he drank three small bowls in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fourth day, he downed the entire remaining half of the broth in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Liang Jingtang was numb to it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Xia Daoming not only used the medicinal power to complete the ninth-level meridian strengthening of the Sixth Rank realm, smashing through his seventh meridian to become a Seventh Rank Great Martial Master, but also achieved slightly more than one full level of meridian strengthening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fifth day, as the master and disciple left the deserted village, Xia Daoming’s internal interface had changed to:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation Base: Seventh Rank Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second-Level Meridian Strengthening Progress: 30%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking along the mountain path, feeling the surging blood and vigor within, Xia Daoming was deeply satisfied with the fruits of this journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had his cultivation broken through to Seventh Rank, he still had sixteen Frost Purple Shouwu left to fuel further meridian strengthening at this rank; most importantly, he now knew the location of the Transformation Dragon Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, his path to the Transformation Qi realm was secured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the return journey, the master and disciple deliberately lingered, dragging out time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of their entire group, apart from themselves, perhaps only a handful might have escaped alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such heavy losses and nothing gained, the Xu family would be furious and would surely interrogate the survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Liang Jingtang and his disciple had already prepared their story, guilt weighed on them—they couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t accidentally reveal a clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if someone else returned to Li City first—especially a Xu survivor—and reported the “truth” first, the Xu family would form a preconceived judgment. Liang Jingtang estimated that once they reported in, they’d be cleared without needing to explain further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten days later, the master and disciple arrived at Li City’s East Gate, “weary and dusty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liang Jingtang and his disciple are back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master and Young Master are back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master! Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xia Daoming reached the gate, he spotted Liu Qiaolian, weeping with joy among the crowd, along with his fellow martial hall disciples like Yuchi Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But several Xu family martial masters blocked them from approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Xu family steward stepped forward and led Liang Jingtang and Xia Daoming up to the city tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the tower stood an elder of the Xu clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re back. Any news of Elder Xu Zhiji and Young Master Xu Shisen?” The Xu elder turned slowly, his expression grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The King Rabbit appeared, everyone scattered to flee. After that, we never saw Elder Xu Zhiji or Young Master Xu Shisen again.” Liang Jingtang bowed slightly in reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xu elder said nothing, turned away slowly, and waved his hand behind him without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was the outcome he had already anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your humble servant takes his leave.” Liang Jingtang bowed again with Xia Daoming, then turned and descended the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master! Young Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they reached the bottom of the tower, Yuchi Xiao and the others rushed over, excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiaolian looked at Xia Daoming with tear-filled eyes, desperate to throw herself into his arms, yet held herself back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s talk when we get home!” Liang Jingtang waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s good to be home!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the backyard of the Xia residence, after a spirited game of cards with Liu Qiaolian, Xia Daoming held her snowy body, utterly content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master has grown even stronger!” Liu Qiaolian complimented him, equally satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!” Hearing this, Xia Daoming’s spirit surged—he flipped over, ready to challenge her to another round of cards, making her beg for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, maybe next time!” Xia Daoming knew Liu Qiaolian’s physical condition couldn’t match his, so he relented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shall I call in Xia He and Yue Gui?” Liu Qiaolian whispered in his ear, blowing warm breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I’m that kind of man?” Xia Daoming stiffened his face, adopting the look of a chaste, unyielding man immune to seduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!” Liu Qiaolian, deeply moved, clung tightly to Xia Daoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no! I’m not human when I let loose!” Xia Daoming felt the heat of her body in his arms, struggling to restrain himself, nearly in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ji family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet courtyard of the western district of the Ji mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank heaven and earth—I knew Brother wouldn’t be harmed!” Ji Wenyue, hearing the report from her underling, let out a long breath, yet tears helplessly traced down her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent days, rumors had spread wildly through the city about the disaster that befell Xu Zhiji’s group in Cangmang Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Ji Wenyue learn that Xia Daoming had accompanied Liang Jingtang—she had been so anxious she lost her appetite, couldn’t sleep, and had grown thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she finally heard the news of Liang Jingtang and his disciple’s safe return, her heart finally settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: New book in PK—still seeking collections and follows.\u003C\u002Fp>",1473,"2026-06-20T05:15:29.288Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5e2f92d6c37799aef6e92bf3a8e66f3aeab3748da42bf04ddb934f7d93ed8bb6","i-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-chapter-47","i-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-chapter-45",484,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-cover.jpg"]
