Free Web NovelChapter 42: Chapter 42: Half-immortal Zhang’s Mind is Blown _1
Half-immortal Zhang had no idea that Ye Ming could transform Evil Qi into his own True Qi; he only believed what he saw, and he thought that Ye Ming was absorbing Evil Qi to cultivate some nefarious art.
Despite this, Half-immortal Zhang did not intervene.
With so much Evil Qi entering the body, it would be strange not to fall into demonic madness or to explode and die—and that was something Half-immortal Zhang would very much like to see happen. free𝑤ebnovel.com
But as time ticked by, there was no sign of Ye Ming falling into demonic madness; on the contrary, he seemed to be enjoying it.
Before long, all the Evil Qi stored within the jade had been absorbed by him, and not a trace of Evil Qi remained in the room.
The jade, originally glossy and translucent, now gradually became cloudy. Before Qin Tianyu’s very eyes, he was stunned, "Mr. Ye, you..."
He never believed in the existence of ghosts or monsters in this world, but the scene before him had completely shattered his worldview.
Before Qin Tianyu could finish his words, Ye Ming asked somewhat impatiently, "Can we go see your father’s room now?"
Qin Tianyu hurriedly nodded and then led everyone to his father’s room.
The source of the Evil Qi had been completely eradicated by Ye Ming, and Old Master Qin’s condition had slightly improved, though he was still delirious.
Ye Ming walked over to him, placed his hand on Old Master Qin’s crown, and continued to channel his True Qi.
The Evil Qi within Old Master Qin’s body was lured out by Ye Ming’s True Qi, entered Ye Ming’s body, gathered in the Dantian, and gradually turned into clear True Qi.
Ye Ming took a deep breath and felt refreshingly clean.
Free Spiritual Energy, how comfortable it was to absorb.
It was like taking two Spirit Qi Pills; the storage of True Qi in his body increased again. These tangible things were much more valuable to Ye Ming than money.
He actually wanted to thank Old Zhang for referring him to this job. When everything was over, Ye Ming didn’t forget to say to Half-immortal Zhang, "Old Zhang, if there’s ever such a good opportunity again, remember to keep an eye out for me."
Half-immortal Zhang’s face turned ashen, his teeth clenched in rage, trembling all over.
What was even more unbearable for him was that the Qin Family had already disregarded him and regarded Ye Ming as their benefactor.
Old Master Qin’s complexion had returned to normal, and after the Evil Qi was extracted, he immediately passed out.
"Old Master Qin’s body has suffered some harm, but it’s not serious. He only needs to rest for a few days," Ye Ming said.
Qin Tianyu was very respectful and thanked Ye Ming, "Mr. Ye, I was blind before and underestimated you. I’d like to apologize to you here!"
Seeing Old Master Qin’s complexion gradually improve, Qin Tianyu was extremely excited and began to consider how to repay Ye Ming.
Give money? Qin Tianyu thought better of it, as someone like Ye Ming probably wouldn’t lack money, especially since his girlfriend was Xu Lele, wealthier than their Qin Family.
To offer his trivial amount would be nothing short of humiliating himself.
After much thought, Qin Tianyu still said, "Mr. Ye, to thank you, if there’s anything in my family that catches your eye, just say the word, and I, Qin Tianyu, will not hesitate to oblige."
The jade ornaments displayed in the Qin Family, each one was exorbitantly priced, and that was the only thing Qin Tianyu felt he could offer with pride.
Without hesitation, Ye Ming directly said, "I’m not interested in the rest, but I find the Jade Plate quite nice."
Qin Tianyu was slightly taken aback, hurriedly picked up the Jade Plate, and handed it to Ye Ming, "If you like it, please feel free to take it."
"Mr. Ye, please make any request you have, as long as it’s within my ability, I will surely agree," Qin Tianyu said earnestly.
"Just a broken Jade Plate, I’m afraid my father will scold me when he wakes up," he said seriously.
Ye Ming chuckled lightly and said, "If possible, I would also need some precious medicinal herbs, the rarer the better."
"That’s absolutely no problem, Mr. Ye, a friend of mine is in the business of medicinal herbs, I will introduce you to him later," Qin Tianyu said eagerly.
Zhang Tianlai watched the amiable scene unfolding before him, his teeth nearly grinding to dust.
His original intention had been to frame Ye Ming, even to kill Ye Ming directly, but in the end, not only did he fail to cause Ye Ming the slightest harm, he inadvertently helped Ye Ming gain benefits.
As for the broken Jade Plate, Zhang Tianlai didn’t care for it; what he needed most was the respect of the Qin Family, but now, he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
After settling matters, Ye Ming turned and took his leave from the Qin Family, eager to share the good news with Xu Lele. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Not far after walking out, Ye Ming heard footsteps following behind him.
In an empty alleyway, Ye Ming suddenly stopped and muttered to himself, "Stop following, if you have something to say, just speak directly."
Behind him, the figure of Zhang Tianlai appeared, walking up to Ye Ming with an extremely ugly expression, he asked, "You brat, what spell did you use? Don’t you know practicing dark arts will incur divine retribution?"
"Absorbing Evil Qi for your own use, if I expose this, you’ll be hunted by countless people. It’s better you tell me straightforwardly."
Ye Ming gave a disdainful smile and said, "I haven’t practiced any dark arts, I simply transformed that Evil Qi into Spiritual Energy."
Zhang Tianlai spat in contempt and said, "I haven’t gone senile yet, do you think I’m that easy to deceive?"
"If you’re not practicing dark arts, then why did you insist on taking away that Jade Plate that gathers Evil Qi?"
Tired of Old Zhang’s endless questions, Ye Ming became annoyed.
He never had much of an affinity for Zhang Tianlai, speaking without courtesy, he retorted, "Silly old man, open your eyes wide and look carefully. This is not a Jade Plate that gathers Evil Qi, but a rare top-grade Magic Artifact."
After saying that, Ye Ming emitted the True Qi from within his body, infusing it into the Jade Plate.
In an instant, the color of the Jade Plate began to change again, but this time, it didn’t become translucent, but instead turned into a pure milky white.
The true purpose of the Jade Plate was to collect Spiritual Energy, one simply had to place it in an area abundant with Spiritual Energy, and moreover, the storage capacity of the Jade Plate was extremely impressive.
Gathering Evil Qi was just another of its functions.
Seeing the transformation of the Jade Plate, Zhang Tianlai’s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
"It’s actually a high-quality Magic Artifact? I’ve really become senile," he said, slapping his own head.
Zhang Tianlai added, "But it’s good I’ve been tailing you. From now on, this thing is mine!"
"Hand it over nicely, kid, and I’ll spare your life," said Zhang Tianlai, his eyes suddenly turning vicious.
