Free Web NovelChapter 1241: Chapter 953: Undying, Immortal Eternal Life
Sure enough, another unexpected gain, there’s such a thing within the evil cultivator organization!
Jiang Yuanxin thought that those ten members of the Leisure Sect had too low a status and weren’t aware of the merit token, so they didn’t mention it at all. Luckily, I listened to this old fellow chattering for so long, and ultimately, got the key tool before he died.
With this, there’s no need to consider letting Zhao Wuji infiltrate the organization anymore; after binding the merit token, I will be "Peng Dahai"!
He immediately chose to bind it, and after a brief loading bar, Peng Dahai’s merit token uncontrollably flew into his hand.
Come here, you!
"Hey? Th-that is my merit token!" Peng Dahai was confused, realizing something was off and daringly explained: "Friend, taking my token is useless.
Each Leisure Sect member’s merit token corresponds to their identity.
After all, there are so many members, and even if the Sect Leader is powerful, it’s impossible for him to manage every single one, nor could he recognize all the small fry. So the badge is bound to the divine soul upon entry, and even if you take my token, you can’t use it without my divine soul control."
Seeing him curiously looking over the merit token, Peng Dahai thought that with a bit more coaxing, this kid might just betray the Mountain Master and join the Leisure Sect.
He then fawned with a smile: "I swear by the heavens, everything I said earlier was true. Join the Leisure Sect; apart from the sect members, the whole world is our prey. We enjoy together, accumulate merit together, and in the future, ascend, living as long as heaven and earth!"
"Isn’t that a coincidence, I just happen to have a way to make you immortal, living as long as heaven and earth too!" Jiang Yuan snapped his fingers, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
In the next second, Peng Dahai felt the world spinning around him, leaving that magnificent place and arriving in the dark mountain forest.
Not far away, there was a sinister and tall courtyard, with no sun or moon in the sky, everything in sight was infinitely gray and gloomy.
The old teacher was busy lecturing, and upon seeing Jiang Yuan bringing over another one, he burst into laughter, eagerly bowing to greet, "Congratulations, Jiang, on your fruitful harvest. Including brothers Tian Cheng and Tian Kuo, I now have twenty-six followers, and with this one, twenty-seven!"
With that, he grabbed Peng Dahai, "Come over here, you!"
"Who, who are you? What is this ghostly place?" Peng Dahai was being passed around, starting to suspect he was having a nightmare, otherwise, how could he keep changing places?
The ten Leisure Sect members, upon seeing their superior being dragged in too, realized there was no hope of rescue and looked utterly despairing, faces full of sorrow.
But what made them even more despairing was still to come—Jiang Yuan looked at the twenty-some strange beings with full health bars, his right wrist twitched, revealing the Soul Hook.
Over where Peng Dahai was, he was bewildered, struggling and calling for help; the newly corrupted strange ones were also yelling grandpa and grandma, but it didn’t last long.
"Jiang has been merciful enough to everyone, and I hope you all understand that as an anomaly, enjoying the immortality of undying life comes with a price."
The old teacher, hands behind his back, confidently manipulating the new anomalies, "Compared to arduous cultivation, what is this bit of pain? Besides, brothers Tian Cheng and Tian Kuo told me, the young and strong recover quickly, the pain at that moment soon passes.
This transient pain on the body is exchanged for the wonderful opportunity that Jiang provides you all to earn delicious food!
I, though unworthy, as the most impartial leader, will record everyone’s merit throughout. Whether it’s food or water, you can exchange for it then.
You can even accumulate more merit, choose a time to rest well, wouldn’t it be beautiful to indulge in lavish meals every day?
Oh yes, the newcomers, you must also think about the cultivation techniques you’ve practiced, if I can transcribe them, that’s a great merit too!"
Having been sliced, Peng Dahai seemed to have lost all strength and means, curled up weakly, "What nonsense are you spouting? After capturing us in this ghost place, turning into neither human nor ghost, you say we should thank him?"
"Of course, you should thank Jiang!" The old teacher was best at "debating scriptures," never losing an argument, immediately responding with righteous indignation, "In the past, you would’ve been executed already.
A bunch of shameless, immoral, heinous evil cultivators, deserving of being exterminated by everyone!
Fortunately, you encountered Jiang, a person of good looks and better heart, ensuring the righteous cultivators are not harmed by you, while also considering your welfare, granting you immortality, living as long as heaven and earth.
And yet you’re not satisfied? True to being evil cultivators, you have no sense of gratitude at all! Deserving of starvation for three days and nights, to realize Jiang’s benefits."
The many newly strange beings, whether too weak from being sliced or truly swayed, all hung their heads in silence. For a moment, the old teacher’s confidence almost convinced Jiang that the argument made sense!
Unbelievably, it was truly a cunning rogue.
"Starve for three days and nights?" Chen Li coldly laughed, "I have long cultivated the ability to fast, the taste of hunger, I haven’t experienced it for many years."
The old teacher smiled knowingly and retorted, "Oh? You still haven’t realized, all the methods of a cultivator are long gone?"
Chen Li was stunned, tried to circulate his cultivation technique but to no effect, suddenly feeling a sense of loss, while a strange hunger pang attacked from within his stomach.
He could feel his stomach completely empty.
The fasting technique, which he once could perform using spiritual power, was completely ineffective. His long-unused stomach churned, craving food and water.
